    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    In 100% of mounted builds of all forms I add 100 controlled and 100 of a minimum of one damage type. Some builds I suggest run two damage types mounted. This includes mounted mages and hybrids. In 100% of foot builds I give it 100 blocking. Mage and hybrids as well. Basically free kills for...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    Right but if it's not a precise strike of 3-5 mages all Tlashing you at once, but rather one or two mages easily poking you with Tlash over and over because you're the largest target on the field in armor that's easy to pick out... your own healers are going to make a huge difference. But...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    I've played mage in some big boy fights in GK. I always targeted Thursars in shiny armor first because they're easy to hit and have bad psyche. If their own mages don't save them, I kill them first too because that shiny armor means squat against a Tlash. I'm suprised if you've been in many...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    Because I'm suggesting buffing underplayed races to bring them up to the level of "overpowered" races rather than nerfs. Alvarin are amazing as is, and both Veela and Sheevra frequently get used in recommend builds I make for people. They don't need any more adjustments. Some less good races...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    Humans are in a decent spot for mounted hybrids and mages. They also have a niche build or two that fights both mounted and unmounted and can make an ok fighter if that fighter is a mounted/unmounted build. Overall a human fighter is pretty outgunned. And humans really shouldn't be a mounted...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    How Races Currently Sit IMO Alvarin - Solid Noteworthy speed advantage. Multipe terrain advantages skilled players can exploit. Good attribute pool. Slightly underwhelming health and damage. Veela - Powerful for multiple good builds. Sheevra - Powerful for multiple good builds, a personal...

    Fairly Simple Fix To Current Racial Balance Issues

    In a massive break with my usual posts that say this entire game needs to be overhauled. I've thought on it a bit have some pretty simple fixes to the current balance issues. We're moving stats around here. Little changes but numbers. And not all that many numbers. I'll put the explanation of...

    Subscription monetization model is a BAD idea

    Not saying you're wrong. I just found it a bit hilarious you're like "STOP INSULTING PEOPLE YOU WHINY BITCHES!"

    Subscription monetization model is a BAD idea

    Right. In order for a sub-model to work, you have to have something people really want to play. And while there are some people who love this game enough to pay a sub, I think if the sub model start takes out a good section of the community then a lot less people who would pay 15$ a month at a...

    Subscription monetization model is a BAD idea

    The one thing we know is in the current state implementing subs would kill the current community. Apparently, they have enough funds to continue development with or without any additional support for the next couple of years. Now might be a very good time to start exploring additional revenue...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    I really think this game could use more "soft CC". Slows, gravity wells, debuffs, blinds etc. that just obscure player vision without blocking the ability to give input. Having dismounts isn't terrible but if they become the focus of mounted combat I think they'd ruin it. Especially ranged...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    One of the best aspects of MO2 combat is the complete lack of hard CC. Hard CC being anything that shuts down your character and takes away control from the player short of full-on death. Stuns, knockdocks, roots, etc. Dismounting seems to be a form of hard CC for builds designed to fight...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    Yeah, so it's part of a series of posts where I alter or overhaul literally every role in the game. As this is the 2nd to last in the series (the last one will be a beast master focused post) it's the first that I've really been able to go into detail on how the roles opened up would all...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    The huge dynamic I like about these suggestions combined with my others is: 1. It opens up a whole array of mounted roles with various battlefield applications. And some of them would be very fun to play IMO. 2. Most of the specialized cavalry builds actually would be formidable on foot as...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    MOUNTED ARCHER Mounted archer is actually massively impacted both by these changes and the changes I describe in my ranged combat thread despite having no major changes outlined in this specific thread. (Other than the mount changes and not having access to mounted armor training without taking...

    Mounted Build Overhaul

    These suggestions are linked to the core idea of this topic and balance with other mechanics I'll be adding to this topic. In short, 300 primaries are freed up by making sprinting, combat maneuvering, and blocking secondaries. This allows new primaries to be added to every role. This is also the...

    Zero hearsay. I just watch trade chat dude.

    Do you want the game to wipe?

    I know SV isn't going to do a new team but if they did want to instill some confidence I'd add some new blood to their current team. They basically need someone with experience balancing games and in project management. That person should have the following roles. 1. Overseeing the balance of...

    Do you want the game to wipe?

    FF14 Of course, it's not just a wipe in that case. It was a "We screwed up badly so we are going to back to the drawing board to fix things then re-release." Which is what MO2 needs to do as well. Given that example is the game that is actually in the process of surpassing WoW to become the...

    Do you want the game to wipe?

    I'm not going to be able to prove it but if you pay attention you'll see a lot of people advertising things for 10k and above. I'm assuming you wouldn't see so many people advertising those kinds of prices if they weren't getting something close to them.
