Patch notes for MO always sound so glorious

then well, you download/patch and enter game.....

a quick trip to MO forums does the trick

good read

maybe just a tad too much on how hard it is to get started - not really - just do the initial tutorial and then enter the nearby terminal and do all the tutorial assignments during which you will get a couple free bots and a generous amount of NIC (in-game money)

a word about the community though

it is small and very protective of the game

so if you are a bit thin skinned don't critisize any aspect of the game in general chat or on the forums - you will be attacked

fortunately - as opposed to the community - the devs (who are available in-game quite a bit) and gms are quite patient with "stupid" questions

try looking up...

 haha

nailed it!

hahah - i know

the devs seem to be in game alot

was thinking during OB "shouldn't they be off programming or something" :)

I'm sorry about that - rereading my post if see where you get the "attack mode" - not really what i meant do to (sambuca probably didn't help)

just couldn't help mentioning your signature as the micromanaging comment was pretty superficial

and you're right - i don't have any issue with the way mining is done (plus the majority of it is done AFK)

like the missing mobs?

just saying

Nothing enormous, but some good things in there.  Looks like a pretty good patch.

Should be interesting to see if the time on the fledgling flag will be enough.

 Should be interesting to see what is broken by this "pretty good patch"

hey, you know something "interesting" is gonna happen :)

If you like micromanaging things, this game is for you. There is plenty to do and watch regarding your skills.

 

The world is rather plain, but not in a bad way. There looks like plenty of room to build and grow things in this world according to what I've seen. I'm curious as to what else they will build here.

The mining is bugged and when you ask Devs they say "It's a known issue." So no way of telling when/how they are going to fix what seems to be an integral part of the game. (wish they were more forthcoming with that). But because they can't say when that issue will be fixed, it doesn't make any sense to plug points into mining if it's a "known issue". Better to put it into battle points or factory instead.

 

I like their pre-launch deal of getting almost 50k in stat points, which effectively give you a full month's head start on someone signing up a week after the 18th. If you have any plans on playing this game or trying it out, you'd be a FOOL not so sign up now for $10 and at least collect your 50k points.

 

If you don't like the game after one month, you can cancel, but your toon would already have collected a huge amount of points for when you came back, if you decide to later.

 

Overall, this game I plan to sub while I check out GW2 or something else because it's pretty cheap, and no matter when I come back I'll be on the same stat level as someone grinding bots everyday. I just won't have as much money but that won't matter much.

 Please read your own signature quote - it applies - to you

micro-managing?  never saw/experienced this in OB

barren world?  yup - working as intended as the planet is somewhat a cross between earth and mars

the mining issue has to do with a known mining area being mined out - pretty simple isn't it - not a bug - hopefully when given the tutorial assignment some kind of instance can be created to at least have one column of ore be available for the noob to get the ore that is necessary to complete the assignment

and think about the the EP points and how many more points you're going to need to level a particular skill once you run through your "bonus" points - yup - a month or two or three and depending on how specialized you want to be a noob can catch up to you while you are waiting what seems to be an endless amount of time for what you need to progress a certain skill (a common IN CHAT complaint in OB)

it certainly gets the economy going but in the long run it isn't the great advantage it seems at first

see you IN-GAME on Thursday 12 p.m. EST

The game's developers simply do not posess the coding skills to create an MMO. They have shown again and again that they are incapable of producing quality content, or indeed any working content at all.

 

I wanted this game to work, as I liked the concepts, but it is without doubt the worst MMO on the market. I have had more fun in the free Korean MMO's, and that is from someone who vastly prefers UO style gameplay to EQ style gameplay (to you young 'uns, EQ is the game WOW is based on).

 

They are also the most unprofessional "dev team" ( I use the word loosely) I have ever seen. Henrik seems to think it's ok to regularly go on IRC and flame/troll/insult his paying customers. Unbelievable behaviour from a CEO.

 

I could go on, but will just point people at the bug list instead.

 

 

 this

exactly

(oh, and the whole skillpoint system)

Maybe they'll add something new to the game- like content and fun

 

 director of content development gone?

don't think so

plus their focus on PVP elements to the detriment of PVE has not been helpful

gutting experience gain for crafters killed it for me (along with all the crap they introduced that was not player made)

and of course the frikkin cash shop

the patcher is crappy not the person

not a personal attack

ok

it's both fascinating and sad watching people ask for censorship

8/10

although it probably deserves 10 out of 10 just because it will be very playable right out of the gate - not something that happens very often these days

anyway i have been enjoying it immensely - spending way too much of my free time in-game despite the imminent wipe

only issues i have are the the tiny UI font and random crashes

yup

definitely no rush to endgame - thank goodness

good luck and buh-bye

money with nothing to spend it on - not exactly an "economy"

it should be enough to get the player driven economy started up

i don't think the EP is a reward for paying now but a necessity for the economy

release is free download

a box would be kinda pointlesl

certainly and hopefully there will be an official announcement before live

you don't want to look like you're pulling a fast one on your new subscribers (or do you)

again this was typed about just 24 hours after a statement that there would be no cash shop

and no answer as to whether these "cosmetic" items would be earnable in game

That completely blows

mollified a bit by the fact there is no charge for the client and the sub is pretty cheap

the sad thing is it came the day after i payed for early access and after the fact a yellow (gm or dev) in chat had stated there would be no cash shop :(
