In his livestream on Thursday, Henrik indicated that SV is contemplating whether or not to allow multiple characters on the same account. If they did implement this, these characters would use the same name and be identifiable to maintain continuity of identity. Still, it's unclear whether this...

I can't imagine a competent game designer looking at the current Myrland map and saying: "Yeah, this looks sufficiently filled with monsters and stuff to do. Ready for release!"

The queue screen optimization is the closest to pure griefing that I’ve seen from a game dev team. Why do players need to constantly render a giant portion of the map prior to login? Was that really necessary?

Myrland is already empty of creatures and content. Sarducca is the last thing that we need, but knowing SV they will release Sarducca first.

What game are you playing? Because there’s no way it’s MO2. Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re still in Haven. The Myrland map is barren and needless large. It’s worse than Sarducca in MO1. You crossed the map in 30 mins? Walking from Bakti to the nearest horse...

I’ve seen him in Fab, he got soloed by a pet belbus

Couldn’t agree more. Making the map so large was a terrible choice. They could have made it 1/4th the size and added another continent on another set of server nodes. That way, the map wouldn’t feel so empty and you wouldn’t have to walk for 45 mins through a hellscape to get to a mob spawn…but...

Those are rookie numbers.

They should have done this from the getgo. I’ve never understood the resistance to a few instanced zones. Does it seriously enhance anyones gameplay experience? It seems like one of those unneeded features that people cherish for the “immersion” but are detrimental to game design. Akin to...

Henrik addressed this in his livestream. The login screen renders a huge portion of the map. Yes, that is an awful game design choice. SV never thought to optimize it because they didn’t think that there would be long queues (100k player cap etc). They are currently looking into ways to...

Thank you for your donation to Star Vault. You’re the real hero here.

I mean, in my case I just grinded crafting skills for 10 hours by crafting bone tissue crap and droplooting over and over. Is that fun? No. I did it to access more fun content ahead. Time to do it all again.

Didn’t seem to fix much, did it?

Yes, it's hilariously misleading.

They’ve doomed themselves by creating an enormous map sized for 10k+ players with servers that can handle maybe 3k. 90% of players will quit in a few months and the map will feel empty and dead. You’ll have to run for 5 hours to get a fight and PvPers will quit. I don’t see MO2 being able to...

Even if it’s true that nodes can hold 100, your conclusion is wrong. Are there 100 Myrland nodes? That’s the only way SV could reach that lofty 100k stat. If that were true, then people outside of cities would have no queue issues with only 6k online. I don’t understand why you are choosing to...

A fully built game, ideally. This excuse works for alpha and beta, not for launch. The player base was lied to about player capacity and this launch feels hasty and half baked. Why are you surprised that there is anger?

Agreed - this may be too late for such additions. Shards would have been a great contingency plan for a scenario where players get stuck in 6 hour queues. Alas…

Call people “doomers” all you want, but it’s hard to see this launch as anything other than a squandered opportunity to bring MO2 to a larger audience. And that makes me sad, because a healthy pop makes this game special.

At what point does an exaggeration become a lie? It’s a rather fine line. I suspect that there are fewer server nodes than you believe, and that their capacity is far lower than SV expected. Anecdotally, I know many people who are in less trafficked areas of the map and are still struggling to...
