New shaders and rendering won't fix level design - will be cool to see the engine in a huge outdoor environment though! From what I've understood is that the Naanite tech of UE5 is auto-generating LODs in a bit of a different way and replacing the classic LOD0, LOD1, LOD2 way of doing things.

*Logged in, took a while, that's fine because queue testing and all. I have to mention again that the pre-login scene is a major turn-off as it looks incoherent and just screams amateur game developer from every aspect. *Character creation was cool, lovely character models, boobs, schlongs and...

So many polygons just to be butchered by the shader . MO2 should have an epilepsy warning for this take on shadowmapping.

Torturing could decrease an Attribute of the captors choice! :D "Talk or we cut off your Mounted Archery!" Also to 14 - Hell, yes. (The flagging, not the instruments)

It might sound nitpicky, but if I convince my friends to finally try the game I don't want to hear the first "omg, what have you gotten us into" right in the login screen. I have to admit that the MO2 login screen looks better than the MO1 where someone tried to bring literally every possible...

Ah, telling people to go play MO1 when they critisize an aspect of MO2! Very clever! The answer to your question is literally in the comments. All loading screens except the one with the lake had this "Hey we have those assets, let's throw them all onto a totally incoherent pile" concept. The...

100% Agree! Who would leave freshly forged and expensive swords sticking in the ground to impale a skull (dry and without any flesh, so probably quite old) next to the ruin of a chapel. SV please change it or at least release the story behind that login screen scene!

Yes, they introduced /droploot but in a situation where you want to yield AND the other has to know if you yielded INSTANTLY this was not sufficient at all. /droploot had a delay and no visual feedback sadly

Suggested something similar for MO1 and would love to have it in MO2, additionally I'd suggest to add a yield function to put yourself into mercy mode. Important thing about yielding: A) Visual hint - hands up or something simliar B) Character movement is slowed down C) Player cannot log off D)...

It tried to express it as a careful guess - if the starter-armor is not what you would typically see on the battlefield then my guess is completely off, of course. Is the combat alpha done with completely unrealistic gear then or is the gear something one would typically see on the battlefield?

Only watched videos of a teamfight and some duels and even though swing speed did look a bit slow from first person it also felt like the "time to kill" was really more due to weapons dealing super low amounts of damage. If parrying was made easier then the penalty for not parrying correctly...

Right, I forgot they added that 6 years after release mb - remove the "deleting" step, still not fun

but is it fun to spam spongewood stuff and delete / spam / delete / spam / delete? I wrote a macro for that to be honest, must people used one.

I agree, but you could limit profession changing in other ways - for example give a cooldown of 7 days on a skill-point reset and make it cost gold.

Or do it like any other first person game - implement mouse-wheel toggle or number-press toggle for the stuff in your hands, make bandages a handheld item and hold mouse to use. Like Left4Dead and Warhammer Vermintide 2 did it for instance. I think you could also use on yourself or an ally...
