    Old Race Art and Lore

    I really wish we'd get a bit more lore. I made a topic about it awhile back but like... what is a Veela name supposed to sound like? Heurgar? Sidoian? Would be cool to see them have a lore guy who adds a new lore blog once a week and some of it gets populated onto the website. Maybe an...

    Huh. It actually takes advanced CC to control a good mount?

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    On this I mostly agree. It's basically just an extension of the tutorial and an obstacle to rerolling your character if you trash your name or rack up your murder count. I don't believe leveling is in the slightest bit necessary to MMORPGs as long as there are other goals to work toward...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Personally I feel any character development that happens beyond day 1 of the average player should only generate moderate character growth, and anything beyond the first week, damn near negligible if it exists. People will grind endlessly to get 5% damage bonus or health bonus over other people...

    So I believe it's been confirmed at this point we are working with 1200 primary points in MO2. Character Info Sheets - Google Sheets You can copy that and play around with it. It's not fully accurate as I made it a month or two ago but you should be able to create a rough mounted archer build...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Instant gratification isn't your primary concern in a PvP game. In a game like Mortal Online the speed at which you become stronger is VERY important. As with the previous mentioned example of ArcheAge, after hundreds and hundreds of hours of playing that game I reached a point that 5 max level...

    Sidenote I fully expect some of these builds to get crossed off the list as viable builds in general depending on how mounted combat, magic, and taming are handled in MO2. I have doubts about the viability of several of them, but for now I'm going under the assumption they are all viable.

    Mounted Skirmisher = Pure Mounted Archer or MA + Melee. It's divided from the idea of Mounted Arcane Skirmisher by the fact the arcane skirmisher is ranged and magic. Mounted Warrior would be an all melee build or a very light dip into archery. There are definitely ways to fill your points as...

    *Reserved for my personal list* Going to start with my abbreviated list WARRIOR Strong: Thursar/Kallard and Pure Kallard Viable: Thursar/Anything and Ohgmir* *Ohgmir are arguably best in class at 1v1s and PVE but fall a bit behind in other contexts due to speed IMO MAGE Strong: Sheevra...

    *Reserved for Community List based on general agreements. I reserve the right to veto clear troll builds but I will step back from a veto if @Godkin Veratas or @Teknique support it's inclusion*

    A Community Exercise for Theorycrafters

    So imagine instead of expecting newbs to understand what races are good at when they make their character, or reroll a character they may (and should) have some level attachment to once they discover it's unviable at the build they want to play. The game gave you some tooltips on race creation...

    Human Racial Balance - Con is King?

    Yeah that's a huge way to balance strength. I'd be tempted to entirely drop all effect con has an armor weight and move it to strength. Health and stam are universally useful stats for every build except stam for a fat mage, and fat mages still love their con for health purposes. Con is one of...

    Worth it to still buy beta access ?

    I think there is merit in treating them the same. Part of the appeal of joining a new MMO is getting in at the ground floor. Starting when everyone has nothing and taking part in the rush to build something. "Full-release" on a game that has been persistent for months or years is missing all...

    Worth it to still buy beta access ?

    Early access, full release. The moment my character and wealth is persistent it's the real deal IMO.

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Damn. I didn't realize adding a small XP bonus when you kill someone for the first time each day to a system based on 1-2 hours of solo leveling in a graveyard to reach PvP viability with potentially a bit more XP to reach maximum potential could cause all these horrible disparity issues. Glad...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    You're entirely missing the point. I said you that through PVE it should take no more time than it currently does through macros. The point of a 24-hour cooldown on getting XP from killing a single player isn't that you should only get so much XP per day. It's that killing your buddies alt 30...

    Human Racial Balance - Con is King?

    I definitely wouldn't classify an Ohgmir fat-mage as a tank. It's a spell cannon that can take a couple-hits.

    Worth it to still buy beta access ?

    There may be some free keys floating around still. They tend to send out batches of them to people who own a copy already. If you can get your hands on one I'd suggest doing that and seeing how you like the game. If you can't, I'd watch some videos at least before making the purchase decision...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    For me, to a large degree community is the minimum you need to offer to get me in the door to most MMOs. I have a lot more hours into games like Wurm Online, Darkfall, and EVE than World of Warcraft. There are a few other games out there that offer community and interaction. Their mechanics are...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Bad systems will still have a detrimental effect. I've recruited and trained a lot of people across a lot of titles. The faster you can throw them into the action and allow them to start having fun, the more of them who stick with the game. I really don't want to be telling people how to run...
