Serious talk about the game (macros/punching)

[Shatay]

Hello , i just joined MO2 and i really like the game , it seems really fun , i heard that it might go out in march but i don't think it's ready for it , i'm not a game dev or anything , just a player giving my feedback

is it normal when you log in in a game and the first thing you see is players punching a merchant and walls and doing weird stuff with theirs fists , or 3 - 4 players hitting a player who is dodging , and when i ask why are they doing this .... they are grinding their stats , i mean it's like cheating , imagine a new player who did not play MO1 .. he will jusst quit the game instantly because the 1st day of the launch everyone is going to be maxed out , i read on steam that (Mortal Online is not like other MMOs ) well that's right ..... in a good and a bad way (any player can at any point attack another player and take everything they own ) anything they have ? in closed alpha/beta what i saw is that we lose only what we have in our inventory (just like in minecraft) and we can just respawn ......

ok this game is great , i really hope it's going to have a great futur and i want to play it , but all this grinding system .... i really don't like it and i'm not the only one , i heard that the devs don't even want to change it , some players are saying that it's a 3d version of ultima online , i'm not from this generation of players , but the game could touch a bigger public , it could , but now like this , a player in the chat told me that it's a sand box game social game and it's not about leveling ...... try to fight a guy will full strength and 160pv while you have half of his life points , this game can stay/continue to be a sandbox/social game (not about grinding/leveling) but in an other way .... macros everywhere , it kills the gameplay (macros are cheats) and it seems to be allowed here , please do something before the release of the game , something simple , like not receiving xp while punching merchants/walls or doging the wind with your fists in the air and still gaining massive xp , or make the merchants attack you back or you can kill them , i'm pretty sure devs can find an easy way to fix this , they developped a whole game , they can fix this small thing , i hope this is going to be heard !

Thank you

i'm pretty sure devs can find an easy way to fix this

Dude, you should research the game, especially the spirit of the game. Spend time trolling the old MO1 forums and watch moar videos about the game. And pull up a bio on star vault and educate yourself
Ive punched a few vendors IRL and it raised my psyche.
Me and my friends use to spar all the time IRL, raised our strength, con, dex, penis size. All kinds of stats.

I fully agree with Shatay. i would find it better, if you have to chop wood and go mining/fighting mobs to increase stats. It will rise stats, but it should be more effective as to let your character be punched. It just not feel to be a good mechanic. It was implemented, so red players can be stebbed up very fast, but they could go chopping wood aswell. I think you should not need to gain skill, if you have no Skillpoints avalible, to rise the stats from mining/Woodcutting, Would also make more sense. Who would let himself get punched by 5 people to get stronger, without fighting back, except some wired individuals as the proudboys ?

you can do this too(level your stats up chopping wood etc) . Its a sandbox game, why in the damn hell logic should i not gain stats by beating a mate ,but only by chopping wood or mining ? If there is no trees, i cannot chop wood. If there is no stones ,i cannot mine stone. If there is no friends, i cannot punch friends. I don't see any issues here. To the point to call it cheating, is plain ridiculous, i think the open posters is just clueless about how this game works : your actions are being rewarded, if you hit something and this hit validate a hitbox, it deal damage and add to statistics of your character till maximum. Unless you change this system (for wich reason?) i don't see this discussion evolving at all
you can even stat up str and const by spamming right clic : blocking. is that cheating too ?
