    Replacing resources

    Lol the irony ik. Resource distribution is ongoing though, we're seeing changes every patch because of it; el la Fabernum sab. We have to give them the time to at least try different resource distributions before the game goes live.

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    While many posts may no longer be addressing the merit of the OP, they're still addressing the fundamental problem you're trying to solve. This doesn't mean your thread has been derailed or that the posts are unconstructive and off topic.

    The Easy Anti Cheat issue

    Take a look at this from EAC's website https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/game/issues/guide/ Additionally, I've found with most people needing help that their AV was the cause of the issue. Have the person check their AV isn't quarantining the EAC files. If it is, whitelist the quarantined...

    Melee Fighting Review/Critique. And A "idea" to bridge the gap between defensive and aggressive play. Introducing "Stances" and "weapon abilities"

    Of course and I'm sure there's some inspiration they can draw from here. While I'm not sold on stances, this would be better mechanically yes.

    Mounted combat nerfs

    Yea I don't know why it doesn't just follow the same charge mechanic as every other strike - it would also mean damage drops off the longer it's held and at least encourages not just holding it in place. Obviously for lances allow it to be held for much longer or with no penalty but they're...

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    Yes I was referring to how that both STR and DEX attributes already benefit melee action skills and yes, of course they have cross over between playstyles/builds. No not at all, that's not remotely what I'm implying. I'm suggesting focusing on your ability to actually hit the shot, not the...

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    You already do through various melee action skills that benefit from STR and DEX. Perhaps the actual problem that needs to be addressed is that there's not enough depth or reason to invest into archery in it's current state when you are better off going a foot fighter with some archery. Thus I...

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    This is why imo, dex should only impact aim while moving, that's it. You're attempting to combine a bow shot with the required strength to draw and hold the bow, while moving with enough finesse to still be accurate. Lower the penalty to sway either with a dex buffed primary skill that can be...

    Melee Fighting Review/Critique. And A "idea" to bridge the gap between defensive and aggressive play. Introducing "Stances" and "weapon abilities"

    I can appreciate the time and effort gone into this idea, but dont you think this is too radical to fit into the existing gameplay paradigms? A simple kick to counteract a defensive player or a condition system that occurs naturally over the course of the fight would help the duel parrying...

    Replacing resources

    Another point that needs to be considered, is that it's not all about location but also quantity of nodes. I can already see it that should MO2 maintain a player base, these regions that have some secondary resources (such as suburra near Fab) with a small number of nodes will always be farmed...

    1 versus 2 Accounts...

    Hey so just on the basis that you're new to the game, welcome by the way, a headsup is that it's almost with 99% certainty going to stay as 1 character per account. That said you should use the time now in the beta to try lots of different builds, skills and clades, to see what sticks for you...

    Make Ecumenical spells better before moving on to other schools

    I get where their visual design is coming from, in being minimalistic with toned down effects unlike other games. It does feel as though it's almost too subdued though. Some of the damage visuals are great and have a good balance of visual impact but there's definitely room to show greater...

    Ideas for Making Combat more "FLUID"

    Mordhau and Chivalry to a degree have chambering. I wouldn't mind seeing this in game but I feel it's not something that will be balanceable in a short time frame and especially not until we have better tools to counter defensive gameplay.

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    The reason I think it's best solved through the sway mechanic is because it then directly ties into the skill ceiling of the role, and isn't just a change to build/weapon choices. In turn rewarding those players spending full primary points into the role with a lower skill ceiling in being able...

    Archery: STR vs DEX - A Mechanical Balance Suggestion

    I think you first need to identify what you're trying to solve here. Is it that high strength footies/mounted's are just as competitive with bows versus someone who wants to be a primary foot archer with high mobility? As it stands now: Strength is all about physical power and endurance -...

    Realistic attributes leads to balancing/compromises

    Reinventing the wheel isn't the solution, and especially not now. It's too late to even consider it this close to persistent release. Balancing in a live game is ongoing and a never ending task. It changes over time based on the addition of new content and thus the changing of metas. The best...

    Transporting items (wagons/carts & horses)

    There's a few considerations that need to be taken into account when it comes to the evolution of transportation, especially at the point when wagons are implemented. Wagons must become focal points for PvP in their own right and be the most efficient way of transporting large amounts of...

    Magic Damage

    It's not being supported heavily, just that the "Paladin/Mage Fighter" group that enjoyed the pre-change healing now do less healing, therefore they're complaining. See: https://www.mortalonline2.com/forums/attachments/1620407069794-png.1965/ There is potentially room to raise the min healing...

    Tweak miss-penalty

    This is incorrect. Swinging and hitting is all client side so you're not disadvantaged by ping in this respect. If you're next to them on your screen, you can effectively hit another player with any part of your weapon and the server will acknowledge this as a "hit". This is why people can hit...

    Map Balancing

    Perhaps this is where the following suggestion from @KermyWormy starts to make more sense, although, I'm not sure if an "air drop" system is appropriate for such a slow burn and persistent game like MO.
