    Are non-toxic open world PvP games possible?

    I think if you avoid politics in games like these the toxicity is avoidable too. It's there though. Almost every major guild in this game that has lasted more than a year has undergone at least one guild split or other major drama and half of them are formed through guild splits. Name a guild...

    It's Been Fun But This Game Will Die Soon

    One big thing that's a huge difference between the ARPK and KOTO alliance is KOTO strongly favors EU timezone and ARPK strongly favors NA timezone. Based on the times you are posting that may be why you think it is dead. It is a lot more dead in your timezone. They also spend a lot less time...

    Destroyable Buildings

    The balance of siege weapons should be based on cost, not making it exclusive to zergs. The ability for smaller groups to be able to mount meaningful resistances to zergs is critical for the success of games like this. But I can see why you'd lobby against it. I feel like KOTO very much has the...

    Destroy items right b4 u get pkd'

    This would also work with something like I suggested. Remove delete and replace it with an option to drop individual items unlike a /lootdrop that throws out your entire inventory and all your equipment. Make these items last 5-10 minutes in the game world. Then just implement something were...

    It's Been Fun But This Game Will Die Soon

    I think if they do something awesome with sieging you may be right. At least, it would stabilize the bleed and reclaim notable numbers for awhile. I'm thinking if they implement a half-assed system that lets mega zergs decide the outcome of every siege fight everywhere on the map and knock...

    It's Been Fun But This Game Will Die Soon

    The ARPK alliance in MK is actually a rising power right now. The thing is, I wouldn't even say they are growing. Just growing a bit more connected and retaining members at a higher rate than other alliances. People underestimate them but they absolutely thrashed AC and their allies out of the...

    Profession Quests

    I think crafting quests could be particularly good for cooks. Like it tells you to make a dish using a few specific ingredients at over a certain % of the total dish, (But you're also allowed to add more ingredients) with over a certain value in different stats and deliver X units back to the...

    Are non-toxic open world PvP games possible?

    No. Stakes are too high. If I'm playing SWTOR or ESO nobody really has a reason to spy on me/my guild. The highest thing you can can achieve is good coordination in endgame raids or arena PvP. Spies, are not going to help there. But in a game like this you have spies, lairs trying to stir up...

    Low pop and frustration.

    Would you say MO2 is better balanced? Crowfall had a roster full of insanely fun / interesting builds. At least as a healer it was some of the best variety I've ever seen and all the healing specs had their merits at the time I played. You had crusader clerics who used a lot of AoE point heals...

    Low pop and frustration.

    TBH last time I played Crowfall it was in a significantly better state than MO2 currently is. I basically only quit because I recognized that while I love being #1 on outpost captures for a campaign, getting serious about that game means achieving basically nothing IRL for that campaign's...

    Low pop and frustration.

    I think the red/blue system would work if: A. It were way better balanced. B. It reflected that they view reds as a legitimate playstyle. I mean some type of system where being a red pushes you to the fringes of society and has you living out of outlaw hideouts would be fine if those outlaw...

    The Tendrimic "battle mage"

    Where human is at it's strongest is a mounted build that runs 2 forms of mounted damage. For instance a mounted hybrid with both mounted melee and mounted magery or a MA/MC combo. Roughrider gives 15 discount on ALL riding subskills. So in both those instances it saves you a total of 45...

    Oh for sure. If SV is going to survive now is a good time to buy. I'm personally not going to. Because I think that IF is looking very questionable at this point. They do have a good general premise to this game and I think in the right hands it could still be very successful. The issue is...

    It's Been Fun But This Game Will Die Soon

    Ah. You're correct I use a different trading platform than Yahoo usually. I'd still be very concerned about the 93% drop unless SV issues a buyback immediately. I've never seen a stock I'm invested in drop 93% or even close to it. If the company doesn't feel it's so undervalued that it buys back...

    It's Been Fun But This Game Will Die Soon

    I'm more so looking at this from the perspective of an investor. I've been relatively successful at trading since I started in 2020 and what I do is play people's overreactions. When there is a good solid stock with positive long-term outlooks and something happen that tanks the price a bit but...

    https://steamplayercount.com/app/1170950 Late April we had 1998 players on Saturday. We have progressively lower weekly peaks each Saturday after. This week it was 1143. That's a 43% drop. And that's THIS month. Like obviously the drop-off in the first month was ridiculous but that's a...

    Destroy items right b4 u get pkd'

    That kind of reminds me of Wurm. When you drop an item on the ground it stays around for a few days minimum. They had specially designed trash heaps you could throw things into to hide the items and speed up the decay. And you could also dispose of items with no decay if you sacrificed them to...

    Hey PKs - use mercy mode to ransom. It will help keep players around, and has benefits for you.

    They've already added a lot of penalties to being red (more than are really needed IMO). Simply making snooping a free skill so PKers can see what is in your inventory before they decide if it's worth a murder count would be good. I think a lot of the "just kill everyone" mentality comes from...

    Who actually thought this would be different.

    The entire reason I picked up MO2 is I'm I was like "MO1 was a total trash game but the premise behind it was amazing. Surely they've learned from their mistakes and it will be better this time." I do think it's SLIGHTLY better than what I experienced in early MO1. But I definitely am...
