    StarVault throws Pvp players under the bus

    I see nothing has changed for the better in several month's time. Despite the population dropping to the pre-release levels, carebears still think the game is massively improving by getting all its open-world, sandbox and PvP features reduced to prearranged fights. Not like they can handle...

    How to decrease character weight?

    If nothing changed, you gain weight when your stamina OR health reserve is full and you still replenish it by eating. To lose weight you need to lose your reserves, a lot. Dying repeatedly or losing lots of stamina (by drawing bows above your limit many times) should help. It is a very slow...

    Cant destroy houses

    I think they captured it or something? Or is there no such mechanic currently?

    Other games playing

    Haven and Hearth is also pretty nice and can be played both actively or semi-afk, depending on what you want to do or on your mood.

    Please SV, either use the official forums, or delete them.

    There has been plenty of discussion about game problems in this forum, with different views and suggestions lasting for several pages per topic. This is only possible because forums offer a persistent place for topics to be discussed (forum threads). Discord does not have this, it is simply a...

    Red Priest changes

    I don't know, I didn't play MO1. And if that system was even worse, that doesn't make this one any better.

    Red Priest changes

    I have seen much better systems in games. This one screams of "we don't want you to kill players" in a supposedly open-world game. If that is their intended design, the words they had in the game description are disingenuous. If they don't want "murders" in the game, they can just disable any...

    Red Priest changes

    To be fair, it deserves the negative reviews, they are the honest state of the game. I was very enthusiastic about the game and promoted it to my friends in beta, but they decided to wait a bit. I cannot recommend it to them anymore. That is on SV. And the game had several months to change. It...

    When? Will we have boats by then?

    Red Priest changes

    I thought SV was just very slow on doing proper balance and fixing PvP. Turns out they think it is a good way to go. Seems like the game will not be worth to play even when (if?) the queue and server problems are resolved.

    Pet Griefing.

    This probably requires much more refinement (how to loot a non-dead pet, what about when you are fighting a large mounted group and target their horses, but they revive again and again, etc.), but a good direction of thought in my opinion. Dead horse in the middle of nowhere is not fun.

    Consequences for Murder

    If you want to convince anyone in your ideas or get them through to people at all, please use words with their conventional meaning. PvP = Player versus Player. How is one player killing another using an advantage deriving from ambush, numbers, skill or being adequately prepared and equipped...

    If somebody hits me with a shield bash, I should be able to kill them

    Have fun being stuck in a bank with people around you and not being able to bash your way out.

    This game will never scale and here is why

    Don't they have nodes that divide the world into basically separate processing units? They can just increase the number of those if there are local problems. For the same reason you described, the server needs to check every action against every character, who knows if you may hit someone on...

    This game will never scale and here is why

    This is wrong. Players only need local information (about objects around themselves). They don't need to download information about a player #100 on the other side of the continent. So, this relation is wrong. Also, your initial relation is simply quadratic f(x) = x^2, not exponential. Also...

    Consequences for Murder

    Murder is pretty much the only form of PvP currently. Why are people always trying to find ways to make PvP unplayable? How about giving murderers bonuses for actually playing the game? Like you go to town and sell the heads of people you murdered for gold and reputation gain.

    Granum not giving Blood ore

    I think you need to study the blood ore lore first using a book.

    Tool usage advantages

    Tools have more durability and are cheap. But I agree, it is weird.

    Cant even login

    I never noticed the queue. Perhaps it has something to do with me logging in very quickly after release the first time.

    How do you preserve your weight !?

    The same is for stamina reserves. Losing weight is very hard, so don't gain any more than you can afford
