    Tutorial ingame?

    No, the ingame information is very limited. The starting zone (Haven) with the list of "quests" (in the map window) and the NPCs on the main square are all of the tutorial there is.

    Best Melee Weapons for Various Pings?

    If you have enough lag that opponents often dash a bit closer or further and you have a hard time predicting where they will be, use two-handed swords to minimize handle hits. Most other weapons are very sensitive to distance when swinging. Also, if you are a mage or a mounted archer, you don't...

    Actual fix for reputation system

    It has already been discussed extensively in other threads. Most of the easy and probably effective fixes is to scrap the reputation system entirely (guards already defend players in towns and other places are better off not having any system than what we have), make reputation easily acquirable...

    Actual fix for reputation system

    No, you don't. You want to think that maybe there is danger when there really isn't since no one will bother to kill you because they will lose access to all guarded cities and brick their character. And if they do, you want to at least feel the triumph of them suffering because of an artificial...

    Stolen stuff and horses

    Similar problem was also discussed in Item Drop in Combat. If another bear hits you while you are looting a heavy corpse, you are stuck with the encumbrance. All these drop prevention mechanics should really be fixed. They get in the way of gameplay and are unrealistic.

    Actual fix for reputation system

    What is the point of open-world PvP if you don't fight in uneven numbers? Arena games are for "equal" PvP. Also, I didn't talk about large groups. The current system is quite unpleasant even if you roam and kill alone.

    Actual fix for reputation system

    I don't consider killing other players "riding past" as griefing, simple as that. Any system that protects blue players from PvP is a bad system. If there need to be "noob zones", make special highly safe zones, it is very simple to do that. Turning whole wilderness into a no-PvP zone is stupid...

    Actual fix for reputation system

    This makes thing worse instead of fixing anything.

    Graveyard PvP

    There are options. Gather flowers or vegetables, sell to the vendor, get a weapon or tools, go hunting / graveyarding / bandit killing / mining. Just need to stop for a moment and think what can be done. Or ask other players.

    UX improvements and complex VS convoluted

    Also, remove the limit on the number of offers at a broker for one player. And preferably allow to partially buy, too, not just partially sell.

    Final Standing Straw

    Of course we are bothered about the bad reputation system. I think many people have already told everything they think on this topic. Some people have stopped caring and play without standing, some reroll while it is still possible, others avoid losing standing at all costs. And some consider...

    Melee Tamer possible ?

    I think currently mounted archers are a counter to pets of all kinds.

    Suggestion for alternative clade gifts based on murder counts and time lived.

    I am against rewarding staying alive since it deters people from having fun even more unless the "stay alive" clades do not require clade points and are of little consequence (+1% health?).

    weapons and armor made from butchering vs alloys

    Testing is relatively fast and easy currently due to high rates in beta. So just go and do it.

    Can help chat be turned off please

    Help chat is pretty helpful in-game, most people get their questions answered. It's just sometimes there is nothing happening there, so people simply use it to talk. And occasionally it is overrun by some salty spam.

    Floating guards!

    How else would they keep those barbaric tribes from taking their rightfully acquired land. They need to sit high and watch far.

    Can help chat be turned off please

    There already is an option in the settings->chat->disable help chat, isn't there?

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

    While we are discussing blues and new players, can we please separate the two into separate categories? While I may agree that new players should have an option to avoid PvP for a while, I see no reason to defend blue players in general. Yet people often substitute "killing someone" and "killing...

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

    Nice try being sassy. I did play the game, did you? Are you even talking about the same game? Not sure what 30% stat loss you are talking about, can't find information about it and do not recall anything like that. Blue players do gain some combat buffs against red players, yes (10% defense)...

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

    Look at how long Albion Online survived without any wipes or anti-PK mechanics (except safezones, but no one seems to want them). Why compare it to Rust.
