The End of All Hope for Thievery (In My Opinion)

I had a feeling they would do this sooner or later. To all thievery fans, I think it's safe to say that this may be the end of the road. Seems like it ain't ever coming to MO2.

A very reasonable conclusion.

All mo1 players that were worth their salt were duty bound to boycott this game years ago. As soon as the design philosophy on TC/Wardecs/housing was made apparent, that was sufficient for any VALID mo1 player to know what was occurring.

It says "not YET implemented". That doesn't say they won't be implemented; more that there is an intent to implement.

However, i think the point you're making is that we're being lied to; because SV perhaps suspect people want thievery, but perhaps they fear it will kill the game.

They of course think this because they keep doing votes; and people don't know what is good for the game.. And so, the game keeps going in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't say that we're being lied to. It's more that those of us who wanted thievery (a good 63% in the unofficial forum poll I made several years back) have probably given up all hope that it will ever come to the game. The entire skill line is probably destined to remain in the not-yet implemented black hole for the foreseeable future, if you ask me.

I can tell you, with confidence, that design has been working on things, that could effect thievery in the future, they design with that in mind. AFAIK, Thievery is not dead, but I think it requires other features and foundations to work they way they want.

That's all i can really say, if Thievery is done poorly, it could be very bad for the game.

I disagree with you this time, good sir.

When I saw your post, I thought we were doomed... But then, after reading, I calmed down.
They never said there is not going to be Pilfering... All they are doing is replacing certain non existent skills for others on those infamous Trinkets.

Until they dont clearly state "There will be no Thieving on MO2" I will still have faith and believe...

What worried me more about these news is the fact that they re making this game softier day by day... Why the heck do they need to prevent players from quickly looting stuff before others ? How lame... That was one of the valid tactics to initiate a conflict, therefore generating CONTENT between players...
Now we cant even loot other peoples kill stuff ?

Well... Thinking again... If they want to prevent people from stealing kill loots...maybe they dont want players actually STEALING stuff from other players bags !

OH MY GOD, MAN... YOU WERE RIGHT IN THE END :{

THATS REAL BAD NEWS.... :{ These carebear developers wont give us Thieving.... We need another Dev Team.

PLEASE HIRE MORTAL ONLINE 1 DEV TEAM BACK

Thanks for confirming it’s at least still on the table.

Fgc however I wouldn’t expect it for years which is almost the same thing as not happening.

I appreciate the assurances, Robmo, and hold a sliver of hope that thievery will come someday in the not distant future. However, I think many of us (thieves and non-thieves alike) who have been wanting to see thievery since alpha have had our hopes crushed many times, to the point we just no longer feel anything these days when SV says thievery is not dead.

I think we will feel more hopeful again when we see at least some form of working prototype, with regular updates on its progress, and Henrik talking about it more often in his livestreams like he does with other features like the invasion spawn and upcoming Sarducaa, etc. Something tangible, visible and substantial that shows us that thievery is still a thing that SV is passionate about and actively working on.

If you can communicate these sentiments to Henrik and the rest of the team, it would go a long way to building something in us fans that resembles hype and excitement on the future of thievery. Thank you.

Dude even if they don't add in thievery for some time, they need to add in the rogue playstyle. MO is a rogue game. It fits the play style perfectly. Sneaking around, picking locks, maybe even breaking into people's houses... e t c.

Remove shit like ALV SIGHT that ruin this. If they plan to never add lock picking they are just dumbing out, though. I can see why thievery is on the back burner, but I am really sad for all the former thieves.
