Can someone sum up the most interesting parts? Might watch the whole video at a later time...
Edit:
Just started watching and notice that it's almost 5 hours long. So far I like what I heared!
Summary:
- Next major alpha patch planned for beginning of next week.
- MO2 Aplha only package planned for ~50€(don't remember the exact amount).
- Next released city's will be Meduli or Vadda (being build in parallel).
- No player GM's.
- Player personal data & payment will be handled by external service provider.
- Currently no MO player "tester team", that could leak information or take advantage out of them. Only alpha and internal testing.
- There will be only "alpha" and "persistent state".
- Significiant improvements in AI.
- Heaven as starter island. Possible multiple instances of Heaven to handle large player loads.
- Logout at "camps"/campfires in the wilderness possible (with longer logout time), including pets.
- In muddy terrain/swamplands mounteds or foot fighters with heavy armor will be effected in some way (not to concrete or fixed yet).
- Throwing weapons confirmed.
- No swimming with heavy armor.
- Flagging system still under discussion, but there are some thoughts:
# more regional system. e.g. wanted by the tindremic empire, but friendly with the khurite empire.
# no visible red flag. Player need to keep track on who is wanted by the local empire, and who is not. Guards might give information if a player is wanted.
# possibly there will be a criminal indicator when the player watched a other player commiting a crime.
- Sieging will be harder. You should not take direct economical advantage of a siege (so no deed drop I guess). Sieging should be a "hard commitment" if you have major conflicts with another guild, e.g. due to regional resources and not a random even (who're we going to siege today?
)
- Defensive siege weapons.
- Guards: they exist but work completely different to MO1. Guards will behave more close to players. Gear needs to be supplied to them. They drop the gear on death. No infinite mana. No infinite arrows. They should do nothing, which a player is not able to do. Different "tiers" of guards basically effect the skills of the guard, e.g. Grandmaster mage -> level 100 mage skill, Novice mage -> level 20 mage skill. But no "superhumans", with e.g. huge amounts of life, etc.
- Walls only close to keeps (not 100% fixed -> balance still in progress). Hnerik does not like the MO1 part with walls everywhere and around a lot of resources.
- Unsure on sliders vs numbers on weapons/armors.
- No poison in the beginning.
- Receipes will be similar to MO1 and the same ones might even work. There are plans to enhance it a bit to make more combination viable.
- Vagons of some kind to transport lagers resources e.g. cut trees.
- (probably) longer times for trees or animal herds to regrow.
- Different type of AI:
# Wildlife that is fleeing from players and needs to be hunted.
# Humanoid AI (including risars).
# "Titans": Special rare monsters with special attacks & treasures. This includes also dragons (through unknown when they will be added). They will turn into some kind of "object" that can be harvested by the players. Or demons. No specific spanwn point.
- Idea with dragons:
# Asleep dragons can be used to create unique items that gain their power from the dragon. Once the dragon dies those items will loose their power.
# This creates conflict between players who want to use the items, and those who want to hunt the dragon for resources.
# Dragon riders.
- In MO1 it makes sense to eighter max a skill, or have it at 0. They want to make it viable to have some of those skills only on 60 or 80...
- Make more races viable by adding unique "skills" to them. To make it more than just comparing stats numbers. E.g. night vision or viewing distance.
Those skills need to be available at release/world turning persistent to not force players to reroll due to new skills, that didn't exist before.
- Fixed keep spot locations.
- TC towers were a nightmare for Henrik. Literally. He got calls by GM's in the middle of the night from GM's due to issues with "unreachable" tc tower.
- Wealth transfer from MO1: e.g. an asset in Tindrem. No direct headstart, but something that gathers value over time, e.g. by a good location of that asset.
- There are secrets in MO1 that were never discovered.
- Trinkets will be in MO2.
- Food system / gray bar system stays the same.
- Potion thirst system stays the same.
