    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    I find this really amusing. From watching hours and hours of Henrik, do you know why we don't have Nullsec? Because SV likes to solve problems through player interaction and soft influence of behavior rather than hard arbitrary "you cannnot X" game systems. They find it less immersive...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    Exactly, which is why one shouldn't negotiate with terrorists. The difference is SV controls this world. If people are doing a "protest" by doing shitty things to exploit the game to focus on killing newbies, prepare for SV to just put in more stringent controls/punishments in the next patch. If...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    I think the part you're missing (or maybe need to accept) is the game is designed to be safer at first, but push you out more into the "wild" where there is more risk as you do more advanced/more lucrative content. Rare books are rare because they are meant to be difficult to get to, both far...

    Graveyard PvP

    Graveyards I think are intended to be a place for new and recently poor (ie lost all their shit) players to get some basic money and get their feet under them. If it's not serving as this, it should be tweaked (perhaps zombies stop dropping stuff after you've killed x of them within a certain...

    Graveyard PvP

    It exists, it's scoundrels in the sewers of Tindrem, serves as a very natural level up from the graveyard in Tindrem (which coincidentally is still fully in the city, unlike other GYs, making it harder for low rep people to grief/run away as criminal) and is an actual dungeon within city limits...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    As pony said, nobody will show "red". If you see someone out in the wild, you have no idea if they are a murderer or not. If they have murder counts past a certain point, they can't resurrect at a lawful town's priest. They may also be losing reputation with the region they killed you in, but if...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    To modify, SV's stated intention is that "PvP is the main reason [some of the] people play the game". It is not the main reason I play it, though I enjoy it being part of the world and they've stated multiple times they intend to treat RP, PVP, PvE and Crafting/Gathering on equal terms.

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    I am all for an open world, realistic immersive system of natural actions and reactive consequence. And I would not be against a system where if SV could identify with 100% certainty that a veteran players was solely killing new players fresh off haven repeatedly that they had their IP and...

    Mortal Portal Podcast

    @Putzin Is it a pain in the butt to add the audio only to a podcast feed? This would be great content for listening to on my drives etc.

    Give us regional servers

    Appreciate you trying to think creatively. That's exactly what the idea of a new continent being in a new region would offer. With the current structure of having a single contiguous open world with no load times, it requires all "nodes" of the map to be located in the same datacenter most...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    This again is just a request for tasks that relate to killing mobs (As well as gathering/crafting etc). By all accounts you'll have them, so wouldn't it make sense to advocate for that rather than trashing the whole thing?

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    I like it, despite it not being perfect, as it's better than the mostly "no system" that existed before. It's obvious hyperbole to say nobody likes it. There is meaningful difference between "the system doesn't work in all cases and needs improvement as new players are still getting ganked in...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    Sorry, don't understand your response to my post , but "If the people getting killed [in the graveyard with guards around them, repeatedly so they can't play with no obvious consequence to the killer] quit, then the game wasn't going to be for them anyway." ([] added for clarity), is just...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    Wow... I just read that he said that... that's insane. That will not make H "fix" the rep system in any way you want. It will 1) drive new players away and generate word of mouth that MO2 is a newbie unfriendly game with a toxic community, increasing the chance that nobody gets to play and 2)...

    What's the point of the criminal system when it doesn't work?

    To the OP: They are being punished by losing reputation every time they attack you (and gaining murder counts). I explain the system as I understand is exists right now below. In the live game it's unlikely someone would be just camping people in the graveyard because it gives almost 0 reward...

    Can't login today - ALMOST NO INFO ABOUT THE GLOBAL PROBLEM with logging - WHY?

    Right, case in point Farmer Joe (Sebastian) the lead developer, is the primary SV moderator/content producer for the Discord. My friend suggested they get someone to really help curate and moderate the subreddit, since it seems to be one of the main places new people interested in the game are...

    Can't login today - ALMOST NO INFO ABOUT THE GLOBAL PROBLEM with logging - WHY?

    Sorry to hear you were having a hard time getting in. As Amadman says, the best place to get fresh info from the devs is the Discord here: https://discord.com/invite/mortalonline I don't see any updates about the game being down, but sometimes (since the game is still technically in closed...

    Danger of the 2-hour Steam return window?

    It's actually not. They could let you choose "pre-made" character setups in Haven and swap between them freely to see what you like, how stats affect things etc, then when you go into Myrland let you actually custom create your character. Would make a lot more sense than right now where you have...

    Will servers be upgraded?

    I just want to be clear that I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. If you think the game is inherently flawed in its core deign, then I don't know what to say. Obviously Star Vault isn't going to go back and re-do the foundation of the game at this point. If you think "the game sucks" 2 months prior...

    Danger of the 2-hour Steam return window?

    As others have mentioned, the problem is that Haven doesn't really represent the full experience of the game. Also a "demo" of the game makes no sense to me, you can't make a demo of an expansive multiplayer experience. Having read others responses, I'd say the only "real" solution is to make...
