I think archery is very strong in PvE and very weak in PvP. Give longbows access to the marksmanship skill please.

Casual and full loot PvP are not mutually exclusive terms. Call of Duty has full loot PvP insofar as you can take a dead player's kit. I'd call CoD just about the most casual arena shooter there is. Casual just means you don't have to play 4 hours a day to 'keep up'. This is a good goal for...

It's funny that you mention a sense of ownership and accomplishment because just yesterday I was watching the general MO2 Discord and the people there were talking about how complete patch notes are a necessity in modern gaming. I don't think that the playerbase is displaying a sense of...

The 'MMO' I was playing prior to Mortal is called 'BatMUD' and is very much like Mortal in its philosophy and scope, only it has three decades of development behind it. It's a shame that MUDs are only for very specific people or else for people who grew up playing them, because I think much of...

I would agree if crafting took 20x as many materials as it does currently. As it stands, it's very obvious that the resource gathering system was designed in such a way that if you go out to gather for a day, you can gear yourself all week for fights. If PvP was disabled in Mortal 2 with no...

I don't think that a PvE server is the right way to go. I like the idea of the alt servers, and I hope that at least one sticks around forever. However - even though I am a greifer at heart, and I will happily spend all day sitting on top of the graveyard fence and headshotting anyone who lets...

Shooting a bow while mounted should drain both the player and the mount's stamina. I think this would fix a lot of problems.

I think it's about right. Although, full disclosure I do use longbows.

When you fight someone in heavy armour, you're only seeing the benefit of that suit of armour in the moment, you aren't seeing all the drawbacks that come with it. The skill it takes to wear, the cost it takes to create. All the trouble that someone had to go through to mine, refine and craft...

So your stance is that the mechanics of the game are inherently competitive and therefore it is unnecessary to focus on or even give any thought to people who are not the winners, correct? This sort of thinking is often called 'gatekeeping' and is considered by almost everyone within a standard...

Of course it does. Not being able to recognize it is normal though, so don't worry about not getting it. Humans are generally very self-centered.

Come to Bakti. This is exactly how my brother and I live our Mortal life. "Today let's go south as far as we can until we encounter something we can't kill." Or try talking to people. Some of the biggest adventures I've had have come from encountering people and just standing around watching...

To be fair, there are 'PvE' places. Graveyards and bandits near towns, bandits and animals in the nearby fields and along the roads between towns. There is plenty of PvE in the game. People who farm these areas don't make very much gold, and don't obtain very valuable resources. On top of...

I think that the gatekeeping that I'm seeing from some players regarding Mortal's design philosophy in regards to game mechanics is staggeringly foolish. You can make the game safer for carebears or smaller groups or even solo players without making things 'less hardcore'. UO did it with the...

Couldn't be more wrong. UO is still going to this day, and speaking as a red who played during the time of Tram, the simple benefit of Fel having twice the resources of Tram kept Fel reasonably well-populated. What Tram did was keep the carebears out of harms way and happy, which for any human...

This one is an experience. Get some good headphones, turn off the lights and close your eyes. If you do, chances are you'll be thinking about this song all day.

Been grooving to Mother Mother lately which makes me a bit late to the party, yeah, but better late than never. The band's vocals are stellar.

I think a fun addition to the game would be to make the harvestable stuff grow/shrink in size depending on how 'full' its resource is.

Bows are fine damage-wise and in terms of stam drain, but they need some other way to counterplay melee fighters that get too close besides just trading shot for shot or running away. Being able to block with a bow (but not parry) would be good I think. Being able to switch weapons from bow to...

Hello. I'm a fairly new player, having not participated in the beta. I played a little MO1 and my brother played a lot of it. We're both old UO fans and I personally have been playing hardcore MUDs for the past several years. While dueling together in Haven all night last night I discovered...
