I do not consider 2h blade and 2h hammer a different build. The game is centered around 1 build and that's max melee skills/archery/anatomy and then throw in some support mages for heals. Tamers are a build but they're so irrelevant due to pets being so weak that they aren't worth mentioning in...
Build diversity and meta is incredibly stale. This is one thing DFUW got right(diverse/engaging meta) both with classes and when it switched to classless later. Mortal lacks this, I didn't play MO1, maybe it was better and maybe the introduction of new mage schools will help but only one build...
Mounted archery/foot brid is already the dominant build in the game, it is oppressively strong vs any other build. You guys will cry about anything. If anything horses need nerfed not buffed. Give us more diverse and competitive playstyles before MA/Footbrid world and then we can talk about horses.
I've adapated; I have an alt that I reroll Oghmir clade lvl 2 and then exit Haven. You'll slow me down about 30minutes @ 5count but it's an equal trade for your time often. Then i'm right back out there pumping horses. It is simply the most engaging and exciting way to play the game.

I've killed bears in real life with a bow. Bears certainly die in one shot from a bow as do moose, elk and deer. I can tell you've never killed anything with a bow, you understand that hunting arrows leave massive deep channel wounds much larger then pistol calibers? Rifle calibers traveling @...
The point I was trying to make is that its a game, so using "why would it just stand there" arguments are poor arguments. Pets need buffed but not in this way. Fixing the pet AI for attacking, pathing, and offering armors for different pets that can only be made with expensive materials would be...
Fine you can have your fleeing pets but while were on the topic of immersion. One arrow center mass kills any animal except an elephant which takes three. Go shoot a local bear center mass with an arrow and see if it lives.
Cougars are pretty bad, only a meat shield pet at best if you don't feel like going further for a bird, taur dog(basically bear with different model) or bear. Probably 90 taming to get the young ones pretty easy as far as cougars go though.
The inconvenience is the important part. The more large groups of Reds are inconvenienced the better. We cannot make it more favorable to be Red over Blue. It is fundamentally bad game design. You may argue that current mechanics are enough but I argue that buffing reds at all currently will be...
We will assume that large groups of Reds will maintain control of Red cities post update. They will now have control of key towns plus the mobility and flexibility of the remote crafting sites. There must be some give and take here. Adding in remote crafting sites will undoubtedly buff Reds...
I don't think spawning in and punching pigs to make a basic set and walking 30minutes to the nearest hotspot is "catering". Our definitions of catering are way different. I am simply trying to allow solo players to play the game of being Red. Currently they are excluded and whether or not you...
It comes down whether or not you want to play in a populated game or not. You must provide avenues for solo players to engage in gameplay or the game will simply flop. The only exception to these rules are matchmade games like LoL or CSGO however that being said STILL the overwhelming majority...
Eve online is indisputably a more popular game then MO2 and in that game there is a great balance between the inconvenience of being Red but also the plausibility of it. There is no plausibility for a solo Red in MO2 which will defeat the purpose of the game for a large swath of players. The...
As of right now most Reds cannot actually spawn in and make use of lawless towns because the crafting, banking and spawning is concentrated so few areas they can essentially be locked down by the biggest guild.
My proposition provides an avenue for solo and small groups of reds to enter the...
Punch pigs, get bones, make gear. After they get a basic gearset they'll have to go harvest better materials and return for a better gear set.
There will still be banks and crafting in lawless towns/camps. Just no priests for reds. If they want to camp the town they have a long walk back, just...
As it stands there are only a few areas in the game where Reds can spawn and craft. I do believe SV is on the right track with Reds in making them have to travel great distance to Blue hotspots with the exception of Kranesh. However I believe Reds should have viable ways to spawn, regear and...
