Yep, persistence will be a blood bath and the political landscape is going to be a scrambled mess of alliances, guilds playing both sides and back stabbings. You'll have the Veterans of MO trying to restate their land claims from the original game, and new players trying to prove themselves in a harsh world.
... a fresh beginning for which you predict the same results as last time. Who can doubt you?
For the same, ineluctable results. Possibly quicker this time.
Well, if the same power struggles against evanescent 'randoms' will end in the same conglomerations once persistence arrives, this might be the only fun to be had for anyone not on your lists:
A fresh beginning, as in everyone is on a level playing field in a slightly altered world compared to MO1 Nave/Myrland. It's just basic knowledge that a lot of guilds who controlled specific towns/cities in MO1, will aim to carry on their legacies in MO2, in places they see as their home. Will they all achieve this? Who knows, some might, some might not.
My prediction is these new guilds/players making very ambitious goals in claiming of land/cities, based on their Alpha/Beta experience are going to face a harsh reality. It's not going to be how they think it's going to be, it's going to be a lot rougher and extreme. Simply put, a lot of these guilds were allowed to think they own what ever it is they think they own - because the alpha/beta experience is a lot more tranquil compared to how the actual persistent release will be. A lot of people haven't taken the game serious during the test environment phases, and these new guys or people who did take it serious during this time, have no idea how brutal, persistent and determined a lot of the old blood will be, to keep their legacies alive.
Last thing first: it's a cold, hard untruth that the history of any region is being altered; either regions (that differed in extent and some features in MO1) retain their history and add more to it, or —more truly— they have only the history that Mortal Online 2 allows. Only very bad historians alter history once it's been made.
I was watching Mr.Bandits streams yesterday and he was begging newbs to go into town and cry that someone was in the gy briefing newbs. No one came out and he left out of boredom. Pretty much why the VII guys messing around in BB left bakti because no one would come out to fight or it was just Guard Zone combat. BB was fighting misc more then the bakti kids because they would actually come out.
Carebears attacks battle bandits most times we see them. Exception being our brand new players. We generally have no problem going grey.
yea I don't even have weps specced, I'm def putting up armor and I think the impact of me putting up armor has lowered armor prices in general. Like I said there needs to be a wep crafter that does what I do. I read something on Reddit ( I dunno why I am fucking around reading MO shit atm lool)
specifically: "If you're new to the game, I'd advise getting out of Bakti. It's actually the ghetto of Mortal Online 2 at the moment, and it's probably contributing to your negative experience. I don't think the problem is the voice chat itself, but the people you are around. If you want a chill experience, head over to Morin Khur. " RIPPPP. I don't agree, but RIP regardless.
I actually, as said before, think Miscreants are cool for the most part, didn't mind them living in Bakti, but yea you're right. I really think getting the economy working, having kids bring back mats opposed to heads, would be huge. Would also keep people out of one spot. It's sad that a lot of these people who get GY ganked are prol gonna uninstall, but it's due to a faulty mind state that the GY is the place to level up. It's an option, sure. Def the place to spec out your clade levels.
But yea the overpopulation of Bakti is real. With that, it's hard to imagine there isn't gonna be some BS. I'm gonna stay on my management game until they fix parry dmg. People are scared to go out. I mean, you can bank your regular gear and put on some 'ok' gear and go out and help defend the graveyard, too. Give some gear to new players, too.
I fully expect someone to step up and help fill out the broker with reasonably priced gear. If you consider that it's highly likely every player has wep crafting or armor crafting specced, it's a shame how little gear there is. All ya vets should make it a habit of stocking the broker with 'ok' gear at min profit. The investment will pay out and then if you wanna charge for mats or for midtier+ like beyond flake, do it. People deserve to feel how a messing blunt or a steel slash/pierce wep hits, or even jade. Then they can lose it and go back to using acceptable trash weps. (Best way to think of pricing is in how many walker heads it equals.)
You're right tho ( I say again!) if this is the generation we're investing in, we're doing it really wrong. But like I said, I ain't no BC. If some of the guilds are BC who I have minor beefs with and the other BC wants to get involved, then... who knows what will happen.
In Summary, I think these guys might be protecting their own, to a point, but it's still hard times as a solo nub, I reckon. Sad. Cuz those are the people who have few options outside of the GY.
I'm sure that does help them to be Walmart. But it's not the operative consideration in the caution to 'not be Walmart' in this context. If you undercut everyone else's prices until they cannot match them, then it might be.
You mean those people with RVs that they let camp in their parking lots?
Didn't know you were the entire guild, grats on having multiple personality disorder.
