    Name Claiming- how to go about it?

    I'm willing to bet there's already a handful of people trying to claim my name in there. Hell there's been two or three fake accounts on this forum already. :rolleyes:

    Suggestion - make it less rewarding to spin around in MO2

    I still think individual skill should matter, even in group fights, otherwise we end up with a straight numbers game and not a game where heroes and great warriors overcome the odds of bodies being thrown at them.

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    I'm being realistic. I think MO-I suffered mostly from technical and social issues and the Unreal 4 can resolve a great many of those technical issues, it's up to SV to have learned properly from development mistakes. I am jaded and cynical, being a blind optimist will lead to much greater...

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    You honestly think they can code a "smarter AI"? The same people who gave us the Risar and Sator Dungeons, etc? Who gave us "Death Knights" and "Tupilaks" ? That's an awful lot of faith I'm not willing to give.

    US riots

    In Minneapolis Minnesota, a cop with a track record of being physically abusive and aggressive used a power/leverage position of holding his knee on a Mr. George Floyd's neck, for over 10 minutes, whilst his fellow cops held down Floyd or stood guard. They already had him cuffed and restrained...

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    So what I saw in that video, now that I have had a minute to look at it was this. Your mage did not use EQ to go for the knockdown. Your infantry were loosely spaced, providing plenty of room for him to maneuver. The perspective of the cameraman was that of a pole-troll (big shocker there...

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    See you keep quoting this, and I never actually saw cavalry players do what you claim they did. Only idiots on horseback charged into a tight formation of 10+ individuals. Now unless you're misleading me with the narrative and obscuring a fact like a "group of 10+ footies who were actually...

    Mounted

    I think it would be naive to think SV has learned meaningful lessons in a way that will prove satisfactory to the playerbase regarding these matters. Even on the offchance that they did, the playerbase is conflicted and divided on what it considers acceptable, meaning if SV backslides into old...

    What happened? I actually liked Zazka, it's a shame to hear he's gone.

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    Call it healthy skepticism laced with some cynicism; SV's track record is anything but shining and I'd imagine that any attempts to fumble through such a utopic vision would be pockmarked with pitfalls and fumbles so onerous and infuriating as to defeat the purpose of mounted combatants. The...

    Mounted

    Damage numbers are arbitrarily assigned by SV. If you recall horses never had proper armor or barding in MO one, or rather what you put on them was more for cosmetic purposes than it was for protection because they didn't actually mitigate damage. This meant that as a melee based combatant...

    Neftan's "Horse Brain and Mounted Combat" Suggestion

    I will start by saying I didn't read the whole suggestion: The part I will comment on is that idea that "horse brains" should in any form make a return. They should not, and anyone who actually dealt with "horse brain" in the game can tell you it was a cancer. Between delayed actions to command...

    Mounted

    This stems from so much ignorance. War horses in a medieval period were conditioned and trained specifically to not panic from the sounds and actions of combat. One might argue that horses in MO were never "trained" though that was never really an option beyond leveling for HP reasons. Hell the...

    Wait, Zazka died?! When did this happen? It was years ago when I met him but he had just gotten his DD-214??
