    Magic Animation

    i agree, some kind of feedback showing others who cast the spell and if it hit or not would be nice. It could be just a couple frames long showing the thunderbolt line between the caster and the person who was hit, or flying off in whatever direction they cast. no travel time, no projectile...

    Icons: Pickables

    i dont mind them having the name of the item you'll be gathering... maybe adding an icon (an actual graphic in this case) to let you know the type of action you'll be taking when you hit R would be nice. trading/resurrecting/mining/cooking/extracting/woodcutting/gathering/etc. its mostly obvious...

    Icons: Pickables

    not sure i understand... each item has its own mostly unique icon once in your inventory. i wouldnt mind some kind of active way of highlighting some things in game, lootbags for instance are notoriously difficult to spot in dense foliage. even if limited to your own loot bag that would be...

    if the names were changing then certainly the stats were too, so it seems SV has more work to do, or maybe its just the crafting skill itself (cooking) and not the appliance skill that can be set to 60, tho i'd think they would have it work for both -barcode

    Road map updated

    in a perfect world, the stress test will go off without a hitch and we'll get persistent at end of the march. somehow i doubt everything will go according to plan. More than likely there will be some issues with scaling that will need to be addressed, and that will take time. time they can use...

    Beta Patch Notes 0.1.0.38 Discussion

    if they run out of mana then they cant cast for a time (and generally it takes longer to get mana back than stamina so it may be a while till they can cast again) so they will have to switch to melee (or maybe bows). if they run out of stamina, they can be easily kited, making killing them...

    Guide for a Hybrid between Mounted Combat and a Footfighter

    also mounted attacks should take into account the speed of the person you're hitting. if two MCs are going full tilt on their horses but at equal speed in the same direction, there should be no bonus in the attacks. alternatively, if they were going in opposite directions the bonus damage should...

    Beta Patch Notes 0.1.0.38 Discussion

    its not like this is a new concept... even eq had it back in the day for mana so when they ran out they would stop casting and switch to melee or you could burn their mana and make it happen faster. Stamina is a trickier one since enemies should remain dangerous. in MO1 i think they got...

    Nights have become ridiculous

    i think with the hard limit on visibility distance they can afford to make the visible bubble a bit brighter since gamma still gives a big advantage for that area. I didnt try it but can you see players with torches out outside of your bubble? in GK some of the fires like the ones from the blast...

    Levelling cooking tool lores

    suggested sophistication since it already exists as a stat and kinda-sorta suits the job. I don't know what the best way is to evaluate the 'difficulty' of a dish but something like that would be appropriate to use as a metric for if it should give you xp or not at your current cooking level...

    Levelling cooking tool lores

    some kind of lack of reading comprehension.... if you put real mats in you'll get far more xp out of it. go kill some pigs and put the carcass in the smoke box with just enough wood so it will work and see how your gains fare they should revamp how the skills are gained so only dishes that are...

    Launch Delayed to Q4 2021?

    what if they called it something like, like 'pre persistance era' where you know they will wipe on release (or rather, on persistance which may or may not coincide with release). what if at persistance they made any new characters start in a new instance of nave. sure you could stay in the old...

    Launch Delayed to Q4 2021?

    i think seb said your sub starts on first login after persistant, so maybe if you want to wait for the full release just dont login till then. If early access does start at end of march, I expect it will be a rough ride since they're still having trouble getting basic things working like...

    Levelling cooking tool lores

    quite honestly i think it silly you would learn anything from a cooking tool by boiling water. the mechanic works in that the better the item output is in terms all the stats, the more xp you gain. water happens to have a decent amount of stamina nourishment. not really a whole lot but...

    Mechanic to prevent Dupes.

    there's plenty of ways dupes can happen. acid transactions are nice but its certainly not a panacea deleting characters should be a logical deletion not a physical deletion. this is in case someone deletes a character in a fit of rage or from a hacker or whatnot, seb can bring it back. Items...

    Human Racial Balance - Con is King?

    this, i think, is the important bit. right now the bonuses from int/psy are minimal vs what you get from con/dex and to a lesser degree str. this allows for completely viable characters to have 10 int/psy choosing how to balance your attributes should be very difficult, even for pure melee...

    Increase appeal to larger audience

    what makes someone deserve cronite? it would be more exciting to see someone who doesnt deserve it since you know they're just a bit loot pinata at that point but no, cosmetics shouldnt cover up what armor looks like, thats a core element of gameplay. Perhaps it would give different capes or...
