    Braindead melee fighters

    There's nothing suggesting that the attribute scales have anything to do with say the IQ of the character. For example, 10 intelligence doesn't mean you're sub-par intelligence, it just means you're not as intelligent as someone with say 20, 30, 40 etc. There's also an archetypal argument that...

    Mining / Gathering

    Doesn't the extremely popular and grindy game Runescape have the same kind of passive gathering mechanics to great effect? Yes it still requires some user input as to not be totally AFK but so does MO2. So I'd argue that contrary to popular belief, people do like these kinds of gathering...

    My attempt at a "high-level" solution, to what I think impede some areas in the design of the game.

    Spot on with regards to the first post and plenty of good observations with the second. I was sceptical of the one world idea at first myself and that of the implementation of combat but have come away extremely impressed as to the level of playability with what they've achieved. A stark...

    Another Stress Test before release is needed

    I wouldn't be surprised if there is an open beta of sorts where people can try the game up until launch.

    I just tired of all the tedious time wasting in this game.

    More utility for food, I'm all for. Though a lot of this appears as just buff buff buff which doesn't necessarily make what we already have any better and becomes a balancing issue to boot. I'd argue some of the more simpler survival aspects of games that have you consuming food appropriately...

    I just tired of all the tedious time wasting in this game.

    What would the purpose of food be without reserves? What would the alternative be?

    primary skill, secondary skill and character knowledge

    You can take learnings without sacrificing your game direction for the worst case scenarios.

    primary skill, secondary skill and character knowledge

    Being sceptical and all is fine, however, you can't expect the devs to design their game around the idea of a low population.

    Night Duration

    Given the two massive moons, I like how it is bright and therefore immersive. That said, I'm hoping that when proper weather effects are implemented such as proper cloud cover, that there are times where moonlight doesn't help light the scene and the nights are darker. This way, we have use for...

    primary skill, secondary skill and character knowledge

    I think it's more to the effect that you can specialise in the animal or material type specifically. Lores interact so heavily with crafting and using that specific material I think it makes sense to promote this as being able to specialise in it. That said your only primary point investment in...

    Stam penalty change is horrible

    What? To Valoran's defence, he has provided extremely detailed responses to this discussion throughout including this "list" below.

    Problems of HUMANs beings and not only

    This common theme that the solution is to just undo changes because it's impacted the current meta is extremely short sighted. Instead, if the intent from the beginning was that amour weight should impact mana regen while resting, then perhaps suggest something that takes this into account and...

    Problems of HUMANs beings and not only

    As far as I can tell, the armor weight % modifier to mana regen is applied last in the equation. Therefore, no matter how much you bump it up by through meditation, it's going to be reduced overall by the armor penalty amount. Having more base regen to begin with via meditation, will obviously...

    Problems of HUMANs beings and not only

    I believe the actual mage robes we're getting are going to be less than 2kg (which is the mana penalty start).

    Nerf Fat Mages

    I was under the impression the mechanical counter was interrupts and more specifically archers? The ability to interrupt and disrupt a cast would be significantly more difficult on a shorter cast time. Without the consideration for interrupts, positioning for mages is also less relevant which is...

    Nerf Fat Mages

    How should they be nerfed then? How much damage is "high damage" when rolling 60 psyche which is around 30% damage reduction?

    Nerf Fat Mages

    How much damage should they do then? Are you taking psyche?

    Stam penalty change is horrible

    No longer a 100-200 primary point requirement to manage pigeonholed thresholds Scalable penalties based on all weights giving consideration to all armor classes across the scale, stamina penalty vs defense. Now a more intuitive system Gives relevance to materials sliders in crafting...

    Traders, escorts & raiders

    As we have regional resources, trading across distances should come naturally between players. With this in mind, this is one of those ideas you should only ever add if the player/sandbox trading isn't happening for whatever reason.

    Alvarin +10 STR for Bows still not giving true strength for bows (Patch 0.1.7.9)

    I don't think it has anything to do with changes made to stamina directly, just that the strength vs bow req equation and what the gift is supposed to be adding to the calculation isn't functioning as it should or needs to be clarified if this is the intended design.
