Not the whole point, I think.  Im conceptually torn with being 100% self-reliant.  Like I mentioned, it left me feeling like there was a big lacking in community with Fallen Earth, but at the same time, that game had absolutely no or very limited necessity or purpose to player interaction, cooperation or pvp. . .pvp in a much broader sense than just combat.

 

But Im not going to let that concept of self-reliance sway me from really giving Earthrise a go.  I've got to experience "their" implementation of it before I really pass judgement.

Well at least you have an open mind unlike many players.

Ok I've talked with [CIR]Konrad, [AQ]Alfie and [TKO]Malum after seeing the post on the MOFO (http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/55834-regarding-tonights-siege.html#post1058635); noone from the main organizers of the attacking force ( [AQ]KoLi, [CIR]Konrad) or guild-leaders/guild-officers present ([TKO]Malum, [CN]Suttner, [Ely]Fatal) at the time were in any way consulted or represented.

So, only the defending player side (TOP alliance) was represented in this talk. The leaders and organizers I talked to have no idea who "represented" them but this is pouring more oil on the fire for them.

Proof or it did not happen.... We ask for proof from game developers and fanboys. The same goes for you. Proof or it did not happen.

I gotta tell ya, this kind of stuff is a complete turn-off to those of us who have yet to purchase, but are still potential customers. I can understand if the GM made a mistake (read honest mistake) and comes clean about it and apologizes for said mistake. We all make mistakes, no matter how hard we try not to.

 

I have to say though, on the surface it reeks of favoritism, and that in my eyes is the ultimate red-flag in an ffa / pvp game.

If you previously subbed but your subscription expired it looks like you get a free 7 days here.  But you need to already had paid for the game once to receive the free 7 days.

Thanks! Yes, I paid for the game a while back when closed beta was going on but I let my sub die out! If this goes good I will reconsider!, though I am not having high expectations! 

ummm how are we suppose to download the game?

Okay guys lets go through the thinking process..

Okay the link of henrik was posted in July, right? 

Knowing the way of games rules change and new ones get put in place. Even if they might be temporary. 

So, with consent from Henrik or whoever the GM posted this new rule (as horribly vague it is) on the 10th of this month because that is his job. To post new rules. Am I wrong to think that? 

Then this happens. 

Now can you guys see where I am having problems agreeing? I am fine with you guys raging about his action however raging about the rules is something I can't see. His actions were wrong and it should not have happened like that at all!

Too bad that was in JULY and rules could have changed for the time been.  I highly doubt a GM would have that type of power to make up a rule like that with out consulting the rest of the team.

And that's where your wrong. He did make it up on the spot, and he is the lead gm. He chose to act before talking to Henrik. We'll see how that works out for him. Please stop grasping straws, I'm starting to think you're on SV payroll ;)

Show proof or it is not true. Not that I am on SV payroll but that he acted by himself and not with consent of other people.  However we will find out soon enough what comes of this. Then the real proof will be presented because I too doubt that if he did act without consent of Henrik or whatever he will be in big trouble.

p.s. I am not against you guys at all, I do think what he did was unacceptable and should have never happened. I just wish for you guys to calm the rage and use logical thinking.

2 minutes of looking and here you go, community vote on siege methods.

Plus, the official response about sledgehammers:

http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/50419-house-destruction-keep-limit-weapons.html#post975461

So it's a viable way of destroying structures, and the Lead GM has no clue about the game he's leading the customer-support team about. Go SV! In all seriousness, in any self-respecting company he'd be fired by tomorrow.

uhh no... Try re-reading that statement again. They never directly said that "boomsticks" were the only thing you could not use on structures. They only said, "From this day forward you can not use the ones currently in the world on structures you will be banned if you do." That is SOOO vague it is a horrible rule and leaves SO much grey it is not even funny. 

I agree though that it was horrible what happened as it was their fault that they did not clarify what the "new" rule was. 

 

uuuuuhhhh...copy paste:

Currently there was a issue in the code that allowed the two handle weapon [Boom Sticks ] to do more damage then intended. 

This has been fixed for the newly created weapons, anyone affected by the old ones will not be reimbursed as they still acted as a sledge hammer would. For the ones currently in game we ask you delete them. 

From this day forward you can not use the ones currently in the world on structures you will be banned if you do.

READ PLEASE....

I did and I still stand by what I said. He might have said [Boom Sticks] at the start of the paragraph yet he still does not directly says "From this day forward you can not use [Boom Sticks] on structures". See the difference? That is more direct and does not leave it vague and people will not question it.  

Like I said before it is such a horribly put together post that people should have raised a red flag from the get go. I mean if you saw a new law written like this wouldn't you want to clarify it a bit better? 

Why are we saying Griffen or Hawk when it really looks like a Giant Vulture!

People were informed the hammers shouldn't by used to do damage to buildings.

No you keep up, they were informed that BOOMSTICKS shouldnt do damage to buildings.

Hi community!

I just wanted to drop you all a note to let you know I am moving on to pursue other opportunities. Fortunately, I've got some good news. I am also pleased to introduce Kuliani at this time as your new community manager, and hope that you will all treat him with the same level of awesomeness you've shown me.

I have been truly honored and delighted to serve as your CM for the last two years, and watch Earthrise's community grow worldwide, through multiple channels such as Facebook and Twitter, and into the beta. It has been a joy to be a part of a community that is so articulate and passionate about the games they play, and the role that they see as Earthrise striving to fill in their MMO dreams, too. This community is great, and I wish you all the best.

Chances are you'll see me around the game industry in some fashion or another sooner or later, and when you do, feel free to say hello! In the meantime, I am sure that Kuliani will keep things well in order here, and continue to serve not only as developer spokesperson, but community advocate as well. I've known him for years, and I've got to say, you're in exceptionally capable hands. (Just give him a day or two to catch up, if you would! I'd consider it a personal kindness.)

Best wishes, and stay chill,
Moll
Community Manager Emeritus

The OP was reasonable, til' he started demanding resignations.

Pretty much what Craig said in his response.

Demanding a guys resignation on a forum is just stupid with a half stack of dullard.  Even if they should resign.

Complain about AoC and I'll likely be right there with ya, but it's STILL alot better game than it was in the first year.

 

Why is it unreasonable?  Craig Morrison has lost as many subs as Gaute Godager did - Gaute got fired.  Nobody's suggesting that Morrison be fired.  They are suggesting he consider his position and do the honourable thing.

 

That's not an insult.  I don't know why you maintain that it is.

I don't get it? If Gaute stayed I am POSITIVE that a lot more people would leave the game. Craig is doing a MUCH better job then Gaute did and Craig is left with a task of mending a very DEEP and large cut to Funcom and AOC. Which in my eyes is practically impossible. I have to agree with Robsolf, the OP was reasonable until he started to demand resignation. That in itself loses all credibility and is a VERY unreasonable demand let alone request

I support Graig!

There are already games where people one shot (perhaps two shot) other people without hit boxes (headshots)...

...that being said though, the question really is not that simple.  Are we talking manual aim here?  Are we talking about selecting a preferred targeting location for the character's lock?  If the latter, what kind of hit modifiers would we be looking at for different boxes?  Would there be wounding attacks: leg attacks that slow for more than a few seconds, arm/hand attacks that prevent being able to utilize weapons?

Would you be able to render an opponent's arms useless... then take out their legs, dropping them to the ground... before performing a coup de grace?

Or are we talking about a manual aim PC game where it would not take long before folks were running aimbots?

Not really a simple question.

Well one assumes if there is hitboxes that there would be manual aiming or otherwise that would defeat the purpose of having hitboxes in the first place. Any game that has manual aim or hitboxes are going to have aimbots, no matter how wishful your thinking is. 

I don't know how much easier this question could be....

OH GOD! I hope you are not talking about VAC! OFF PLEASE! What a horrible thing! 

Simple question, would you play a game that allowed people to one shot you?  Why?
