Agreed. I would even add stat loss while offline so that people are encouraged to stay logged in during their imprisonment.

Age 31 gives 2 more constitution than age 30, with no downside

Hunter Lizards are scarier than both wolves and razorbacks for the same buggy reasons.

I also like it. Super dark nights are immersive as fuck. Better have nightvision or a torch, although a torch is risky. Traveling at night can be high risk, high reward.

Have you ever played a game that used that "generic Desert Town" asset pack? I'm guessing not. If not, then why would it matter if you've never played a game with it before?

speculating about the game's data model and trying to offer advice about an assumption is a worthless endeavor it just comes off as condescending

Yeah, I don't know if there has ever been a technical explanation of their implementation.

This is purely speculative, but my guess is that they pick a specific latency threshold (say, 300ms) and delay all actions performed by a player by an amount of time equal to the difference between the threshold (300ms) and the player's latency. For example: I have 125ms latency, therefore all...

it doesn't actually work for worldwide pings currently; videos taken from low ping perspectives (players from EU) are noticeably smoother than my experience with ~120ms (central US), and I have heard that the game is unplayable for Oceanic players Star Vault insists that server optimizations...

I often see complaints about spear animations being too similar (thrust and right swing). it's probably worth adjusting to differentiate them a bit more.

Sure, those things are all true. I just don't think any archetypes should be designed in a way to compensate for latency. Eliminating latency issues and then designing should be feasible. I don't see why melee combat needs to be balanced/designed around reflexes.

Decisions should absolutely be supported by data, but I anticipate engagement in this type of event would be a low percentage compared to launch day numbers, so it may be hard to tell. An alternative would be to merge servers after the first few days of launch if the numbers on both servers...

I don't think latency compensation should be a factor in design, in general. I don't really care how fast/twitchy combat is in general - I care about it feeling intuitive to play.

I would rather not see roles balanced around its degree of dependency on low latency. Surely balance can be achieved between every role, archetype, and playstyle in a low latency environment.

I would like to see chip damage more represented based on weight and/or blunt damage of the weapon used versus the blocker's weapon size/weight, with some sort of bonus chip damage mitigation for shields.

As an North American player, I agree with having separate servers for different regions. This was the primary reason that I quit playing MO1 shortly after its release back in 2010, and I knew many other players who felt the same way. I've invited many friends to play MO2 with me, and almost...
