You don't need systems for people's militias or whatever you want your goalposts set at this time. You need dudes ingame wanting to do shit. The solo experience in MO is piss poor mainly because the game doesn't offer escape mechanics like Eve and Albion do (the guards are a lazy and failed...
You miss the point entirely i'm afraid. Who are you going to "build a town" with if there's no other solo people around. You need the basic conditions met in order for emergent gameplay to occur. And that is a really solid and fun solo experience first and foremost. The group gameplay and...
With SV the rule is: Always play on patch day.
They ALWAYS do this: introduce unbalanced feature X. After some indeterminate ammount of time they nerf it into oblivion.
Can they be even more pathetic...
If it's intentional then lmao. If not it's still laughable.
I guess Henrik's vision doesn't include an unsubscribe button.
This is a problem of the game's own creation and it's a doom sentence of stagnation to claim that nothing can be done in regards to this because it'll "ruin the balance". How about armor suddenly actually gave magic resist too? Effin mind blown...
Is it time to talk about that low hanging fruit development again?
It's shit like this and the broker UI in general that makes the game look and play like shit. No pride in the final product to even consider some polish.
But they are incapable of providing an edge to humans in terms of hybrid gameplay like faster unsheathing (too hard to implement according to Henrik lmao). So tactician stays.
It's sad they cannot fathom anything else that would give humans an identity outside of tactician. If they nerf it, they nerf the best clade humans get.
MO2 entered the death spiral when it couldn't accommodate all the people that bought it on launch. Looking back, it was done then. Let's face it, the game doesn't even reach the online count of other competing private server games that are even free like UO Outlands, ever since TC the playerbase...
UE5 is supposed to have fixed node lines, but here we are.
It's been like this since launch of MO1 and MO2. If they couldn't fix them in 12 years, i'll let you decide if this year is your lucky one.
