    Noticing a trend

    EXACTLY the same? Nothing. But this isn't the first sandbox MMO, nor is it the first one with a PvP focus. And it's unlikely to be the last. Pathfinder Online's community made the exact same argument you are making here when I warned them they needed to hold Goblinworks to a higher standard...

    Noticing a trend

    I'm not a chef but I still don't return to a restaurant if the food is bad. I'm not a plumber but if I hire someone to fix my pipes and they are leaking again next week, I pick a new plumber next time. I'm not a carpenter but if my chair collapses I'm going to have someone else make it next...

    Noticing a trend

    That's because they have no sense of how their overall game fits together and functions. They're pulling "cool ideas" out of a hat and implementing them. SV seems to have little to no regard for how all the pieces of their game fit together.

    Fix Humans

    If they ever split healing and magic damage to make heals scale off psyche like I've suggested, humans would move dramatically up the meta for mages/hybrids. Especially Sarduucans. If they ever dumped Khurite con in exchange for a big buff to STR/DEX making it the only glass cannon race in the...

    Remove Worn Short Sword (add a replacement system)

    The difference is you don't spawn with a bone tissue sword. You have to run to the bank, stop, pull it out, equip it etc. It's SIGNIFICANTLY harder to grief that way.

    Remove Worn Short Sword (add a replacement system)

    I read the OP and my post was entirely pertinent to it. First off, Tzone is right. Punching horses to death is a lot harder than taking them out with a worn shorty. Secondly, his post was about changing starting weapons to make this issue less abusable. My point is while I see nothing majorly...

    Remove Worn Short Sword (add a replacement system)

    It's not at all off-topic. This whole thread is about starter weapons. Maybe if you want to have a discussion about priests and accuse people who are talking about starter weapons of being off-topic, you should make a thread about priests instead of trying to hijack a thread about starter weapons.

    Remove Worn Short Sword (add a replacement system)

    Unarmed is definitely less effective than worn short. But let's go with your argument and say yeah, unarmed isn't THAT much worse. So that shifts the question to, how much good does the worn shortsword do the game? I'm going to propose to you an alternative scenario. Multiple alternative...

    Remove Worn Short Sword (add a replacement system)

    1/3 the base damage. x3 damage in PVE (Not including tamed pets) Would be a good system. Honestly, if newbs need starter weapons a vendor weapon is 2 minutes of flower picking away. Worn shorties are entirely unneeded and somewhat bad for the economy. Newbs should be learning they have to earn...

    Melee Tamer hybrid

    I didn't suggest a build. I detailed the minimum skills needed for a beastmaster, with and without a horse. Apologies if that triggered you. I didn't realize a quick paragraph outlining the skills needed for a viable beastmaster and designed to let readers make their own decisions, was such a...

    Melee Tamer hybrid

    Because I own multiple accounts. You only need spec one of them for mounted combat really. The rest can ghost wherever you want. That's not to say I never ride horses on my foot specced accounts. They just aren't specced around it. I don't think this game is going to survive very far past subs...

    Melee Tamer hybrid

    Any race can do a fighter+tame combo. It's actually one of the strongest builds I can think of for a thursar as thursars have a ton of damage potential meaning if they try to kill your pet first you can quickly dispatch them with your crazy good damage while they are focused on fighting your...

    From a New Player

    EVE is the gold standard for colors done properly. The game itself has tags to clue players into other people potentially being a threat but more importantly players/corporations(guilds)/alliances can manage reputations of other players/corps/alliances so that they/their members can see at a...

    Do you read the forums and listen to suggestions from players?

    He listens to chat in the Twitch stream. Which is always during EU timezone on a weekday. He also talks live in Discord occasionally. Usually during EU timezone as well. North American? Work a job? Want SV to hear your feedback? Tough luck.

    The best Race for different Builds.

    Arcane archer is straight bad like foot archer. It's only viable as a mounted-only build, not a great one outside some real niche applications. Skirmisher is a top-tier role. Skirmisher is the name that I give to melee/archery Veela. It's not stealthy but it uses speed and terrain advantages in...

    The best Race for different Builds.

    So yeah "pure" archer is absolute and total garbage. Every alvarin with melee will close on you and slaughter you. Alvarin are fairly popular, and most are smart enough to run at least a bit of melee. Swapping between a spear and bow as you mentioned is entirely viable though. Spears are one...

    Can We Give Horses More Stamina?

    Multi passenger mounts are a must. Foot builds should be able to just hop on the back of an allied horse and chill. For one because it's a huge buff to foot builds. For another, because some players get sick of having to ride everywhere WAY faster than others. And the ones that get sick faster...

    Disable tamed pets because overpowered and unfair

    I tried to warn people about this but they wouldn't listen. I suggested taming and animal care be made professions AGES ago. I think before horses ever made it in. "Oh taming is so powerful it needs to under action!" "But you can do it on an alt..." "YOU JUST WANT TO BE OP!" And then I bought...

    Stand and Deliver!

    It makes this dramatically simpler and gives some benefits to them for doing so as opposed to outright murder. Because none of the methods in right now are actually getting used.
