Adding a paragon system is sadly the low hanging fruit to keep the already invested grinding on. It does nothing but deter new blood coming into the game since the catch-up is getting longer and longer. The same idiocy like thinking that the Epic launch would bring anyone into the game when...

Eh, they went tall instead of going wide. Wrong approach if UO is your blueprint. The skillgrind was never a big investment in UO, base pvp gear wasn't either. The grind was in the bling and housing.

Was it really that special? At it's best it's mediocre game with full loot being it's only saving grace. The rest that is either copied over from better MMO's like UO in the skill and build system or just doesn't work and/or is pure tedium like TC.

Contrary to MO2 the people behind UO were actually competent and understood what made the game special. You can't just whip up some assets into a barebones version of something that could be an MMO and then run it like a private server and expect success.

Because they can't make any money streaming MO2 since the audience for the game is miniscule. You can expect streamers that top at 2 digits to spend money on MO2.

They are incapable of making a fun sandbox experience that's why you're getting paragon levels and these ad-hoc cap increases. So the rat keeps the wheel spinning longer.

At least he won't be promising lies on a bi weekly basis, but ibstead on a monthly basis. There's just nothing to show on a bi weekly basis with how slow the development is.

Knowing Henrik played something as braindead as a tamer in UO, and liked it, explains the failures of both MO1 and 2 nicely. This is the best they can do...

Sebastian sure works on a lot of stuff. Hopefully he doesn't get hit by a bus when crossing the street.

SV quality right there.

Incompetent SV being incompetent. Don't tell me it comes as a surprise still.

I'm amazed you actually need to push this idea, the launcher is more than a "widget for the website", it's the primary entry point for consumers into your product and should be the main page where users can be informed about the game. It's also been a kind of industry standard for the past...

Robmo, just FYI if you haven't played one yet, but professional MMO developers tend to put their server status and any updates into their launchers and don't rely on discord alone as a crutch for their incompetence. Just a thought.

Pets don't really fit well into a first person game anyhow. The onyl reason they're in is because Henrik played a tamer in UO (and that should tell you all about his skill).

Don't worry guys, it'll be in just after boats. Just got to trust the vision.

Agreed. That it wasn't done like this from the start amazes me frankly. Who thought identical shared tasks are a good idea? Was coding specific rolls for everyone just too hard for SV?

They can't even re-hue the only existing wearable flag we have (it'd take like 1 day to copy the existing item and just change the color of the flag) to make pvp fights even watchable on youtube as marketing material or tactical tools like marking the anchor points with flags or whatever. It...

True, it looks so horribly thrown all over the place it makes one almost wish for static town plots. At least then towns would look like towns instead of hobo villages.

People already use enough 3rd party crutches to even make the game playable, just a few examples: - discord being a trading replacement for the game due to SV's incompetence in making a functioning broker UI; if you doubt it try finding a good trinket on the market as an exercise in self harm. -...

Discord is available to everyone. This is what makes not having general chat idiotic. It achieves nothing effectively.
