    Please fix player name loading distance

    The current draw distance is unacceptable. Even if they are going for some kind of "You can't really see who someone is from half a mile away" vibe... at least render in their equipment. Thing is, if I can get useful info about their equipment at 1000 feet in-game, that means I could IRL too...

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    Then they need to stop discussing underwater dungeons/continents probably. Makes no sense to create content that excludes entire playstyles from meaningful participation.

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    Two reasons. Veela hybrids/dex mages are currently the best kill confirmer builds in water fights, and also because if they hit the water they are home free from 90% of builds. The main counter for them underwater is other Alvarin with magic as they're going to quickly leave a Huergar or...

    Poll - Should Spear / Polearm Animations be adjusted?

    Polearms are fine as they are but if they are given ANY utility against mounted combatants in the slightest other melee weapons don't have then they are ABSOLUTELY busted. Nobody will ever run anything else. They will just be the go to melee weapon. Well actually not because mounted combat is...

    How To Fix The Reputation/Murder System

    This is as simple as adjusting values if the system seems unbalanced once we've had a chance to try it. Increase/decrease the penalty for certain crimes. Increase/decrease max and min rep values. Increase/decrease how hard it is to grind rep (I've already heard it's easier now than they envision...

    Pickaxe Improvements

    Increasing the mining rate is the only way that they're ever really going to balance crafted pickaxes. I mean there are some recipes we've found that seem to be better value per dura than the vendor ones now, but even knowing those recipes I just find it easier to grab a some from a vendor...

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    I always run Stout for Veela. It's got lower health than most builds but it's decent health for a Veela. The thing is, even a stout Veela has garbage strength compared to any other race but Sheevra. Their melee damage is crap. Their archery damage is alright. Overweight loses an additional 5...

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    It's their role. They are the lowest health, lowest damage, and have the lowest max armor weight. Speed isn't everything. Thursar/Khurite wasn't the meta forever because it was the fastest build. It was the fastest build that actually packed a punch. Veela are fine with a bit more stam...

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    Weakspots are a garbage mechanic. But honestly I think Dex would remain balanced even with this change and some actual meaningful damage buffs. STR is never going to be a dump stat. Primary damage stat for melee, primary damage stat for bows, with the added bonuses of armor weight and inventory...

    Small Change that Helps Balance Dex Builds

    Currently stam works like this: 1 Stam Per Point STR 1 Stam Per Point DEX 2 Stam Per Point CON I Suggest it work this way: 2 Stam Per Point DEX 2 Stam Per Point CON So what does this do? This buffs builds with more dex, and nerfs builds with more stength, relative to the disparity between...

    Horse / Pet Leveling bug

    That could be. The only fast leveler I got lately was when I tamed and killed half the horses in the spawn before settling on a fairly high level one.

    Horse / Pet Leveling bug

    It's very random. I've noticed most horses do level actually but the leveling is VERY inconsistent. One horse I tamed level to 125 from high 90s with about an hour. Others seem to get less than one level an hour. So if they can make the leveling speed consistent then the problem will be fixed it...

    Food Is Annoying Right Now, Here is How To Fix It

    Right now not gaining weight is a careful game of mico-managing food. Don't get me wrong. I LIKE detailed systems. But food in-game required more micromanagement in-game than it does IRL and it does so for every single player. The people who should need careful experimentation and...

    How To Fix The Reputation/Murder System

    Personally, our guild is a non-RPK newb help group. I want the mechanics I want because I feel factional conflicts are healthy and in the end my stances will make it harder for groups like GUTs and WIGs to run new players out of the game. Tindremenes raiding Khurite towns is fun content that...

    Archery feed back

    Right. It's good for if you have healing superiority and you want to force your opponent make the first move / fight you on ground of your choosing, and it's good for dealing with MAs. MAs themselves are good for harrassing melees with no bows but even the 100 point build can screw up a horse...

    Archery feed back

    Oh for sure, my suggestion buffs both longbow and shorbow (and even assyms) just in seperate ways. Longbows and assyms get better for sitting at a range raining arrows into enemies. Shortbows get better for playing close in to the target but out of melee reach. All of them get flat armor pen as...

    Archery feed back

    We were just discussing this in Discord. I think there are a few changes I would make. Weakspot is dead, now there is a flat armor pen value for archery only (Melee already has blunt if you want good armor pen) For melee, make it so you do more damage when attacking the back half of your target...

    How To Fix The Reputation/Murder System

    I'd add I'm in favor of going FULL sandbox on towns. Delete both murder and reputation. Every town is controllable with customizable blacklists or greenlists (depending on if auto stance for your guards is to let other players in or not) the guild that runs the town can set. Then you make it so...

    How To Fix The Reputation/Murder System

    The pet thing is meant to close out other types of griefing. In particular, taming pigs and sticking them in doorways. Pigs are too low to the ground to be pushed out of the way and there are a great many of them readily available outside towns. Making it somewhat dependent on pet points makes...

    How To Fix The Reputation/Murder System

    Step 1 - Delete Murder Counts Murder counts are an overall bad mechanic. Reputation already penalizes for murder, but does so on a local level which is far preferable as that allows players to engage in PvP on certain parts of the map while having a safe base of operations elsewhere. Most...
