    Leveling speed in the beta

    This is not true for combat stats. And it was never said it would be true for combat stats. Only some crafting stats follow that rule.

    Leveling speed in the beta

    If getting to 100 is a long as grind for combat skills RIP MO2. "PvP" games with long PvE grinds are pure trash. ArcheAge2? No thanks. I'd love to see professions take some actual effort to raise as an alternative to skillcaps but if this game becomes a grinder on the PvP end then just shoot it...

    Should the game go persistence without tc/housing?

    AFKing murder counts shouldn't be a thing. AFKing anything should not be a thing. Murder counts should bleed off at a constant rate 48 hours after your most recent login. Rebalance the timers if needed but no freaking AFK crap please. People shouldn't be wasting power running a high end game...

    Prof points, Crafter vs Refiner

    Obviously anything can change. Right now it's reasonable to assume less than 2 months. Especially since maxing a crafter was no big deal in MO1. People with a dozen maxed crafters were not uncommon in MO1 so why would we assume they will be in MO2 beyond IRL cash investment (the only thing that...

    In terms of combat you run a combat macro while a friendly mage runs a self-heal macro. Not even bannable. Usage based leveling for combat skills is garbage (Even more so than skillcaps). Most combat builds will be finished leveling in days by people who can make a macro or have friends that...

    I can max a crafter in less than half a day. 50 days is less than 2 months. And most of that half a day is spent running around finding skillbooks and different materials which will be a smaller part of the process when you're reading the same book for days Also using MO1 as a barometer having...

    In Wurm Online only freshly made characters could play on the new servers that came with Steam Release. I made a new character and decided "I want to be a fine carpenter. I've never done that before and it seems really fun. I'm going to focus hard on that." So I did. For the 1-2 months I played...

    It's specifically because of group play elements that skillcaps need to be replaced with time investment btw. We have have some members that LOVE to gather and craft and we have some members who only want to fight. In games like Wurm Online with a capless system based on time investment as a...

    It's impossible to police, it's not impossible to solve or at least reduce the impact. The current system is damn near optimized for multi-accouters. Skillcaps are a terrible system particularly for crafting. To quote myself from another thread:

    Humans shouldn't be used as extractors/refiners. You're better off mining it and then setting aside to give to an ohgmir ally for extraction/refining. They get more output material per input material. The entire point of an extraction/refining character is to efficiently turn one resource type...

    I guess it may not fit your definition of pay-to-win though. But as people keep saying, this isn't an arena combat game it's an MMO. The economy and combat aspects are two highly intertwined elements deeply involved in eachother. If you try to pretend a 2nd account doesn't have huge economic...

    I dupe 10k sets of ohgmium. You put in the actual work to earn one yourself. We meet in the wild. Who wins the fight? Same logic taken to the extreme. When I play with my group I am on a pure mage with cooking able to test the materials we gather as we move around the map. When things die down...

    Haven needs limits

    Blainn miner alt on foot. She can carry over 10k ore per trip with minimal encumbrance. The rocks she was hitting were less than 1 minute from extraction so with current pathing a horse would have only slowed her down. Also saddlebags are stronger than the overweight bug. You could carry a lot...

    Do all mounts die this quick?

    The render distance on gear and player names is a MAJOR issue yeah. They need to fix that ASAP. You basically have to be right next someone to know anything about them including if they are drawing a bow to fire at you. I'm personally capable of telling what someone is doing A LOT further away...

    Do all mounts die this quick?

    Mount armor is not in yet and there are multiple mount types far tankier than steppe horses in the old game. I'd imagine once all the mounts are in and you put some armor on your mount this dynamic will change considerably.

    Suggestion for Int Recurve

    Break spells into three categories. Hybrid, Dex Mage, and Fat Mage. A hybrid spell is a spell meant to be strong on a hybrid. For instance corrupt and lesser heal are strong candidates for "hybrid spells". They become 90% effective at 50 making these spells very strong on a low int build. Dex...

    Maybe if we had 1000 bankspace or ready bags. When your bank is full of gear your own gear and spare equipment for guildies the more stuff you can make immediately upon request means the more mats you can store as opposed to sets of equipment which eat WAY more space. Also, if more skills isn't...

    Picked up our third a few days ago and it's already proving a huge boon. Hooray for pay-to-win.

    I never said speed gap doesn't matter at all, but you do have a hard time grasping things so I'll repeat myself for you in this unrelated topic you decided to tag me in. I said the 1.7% speed difference between a Khurite and Kallard is not a large enough difference to justify picking Khurite...
