    TC and server capacity nightmare.

    I don't think it will be that bad for that long. Only because I don't think it's going to recapture as many lost players as anticipated. I think the people "waiting for TC" to come back and play again are primarily MO2 vets. I think the people who crashed the servers on launch were people...

    Mounted instant/simple combat balance suggestion (but you will resist it)

    Substantial damage buffs to animals including horses and pets. It's REALLY valuable in PVE and also a major deal in PVP. I run 100 Equidae even on my foot only builds because the outgoing damage to enemy horses is such a big deal. Obscure things like terror bird zoology will come into play less...

    Mounted instant/simple combat balance suggestion (but you will resist it)

    The one character per account thing is a money grab pure and simple. Some games operate that way and aren't money grabs (Wurm, Runescape, Darkfall etc.) but in MO2, it's needed to experience the full game and still operate competitively. There are a lot of really bad decisions (sprinting/combat...

    dec bans, why are we perm banning for communication policy/gem harassment and ban evasion.

    Permabanning cheater and dupers and all their alts is pretty reasonable. Permabanning for talking back to GMs, based on some of the actions I've seen some of those GMs take... well I'm glad you don't get to moderate our steam reviews. That's personally been my outlet for catharsis when...

    Mounted instant/simple combat balance suggestion (but you will resist it)

    I think at least half the community pushes balance decisions based on precisely that. By by "the style of play" they don't like, I mean literally anything other than foot melee. Unfortunately SV does listen to enough of that feedback that it obviously effects things.

    TC suggestion NPC with gold

    I feel like that largely defeats the purpose and would result in limited to no usage of traders at player owned hotspots. I think a cool alternative might be that traders generate gold and resources over time based on the farming happening in the nearby area, and this gold can either be traded...

    Some food for balancing thought

    Just incase anyone was doubting this dude is either a liar or illiterate. Here are a couple posts I made while debating this very subject with Teknique And again speaking in terms of what would happen if MC became a line AoE trample build: Pretty clear where I stand on if mounted builds...

    Some food for balancing thought

    Don't trust info from Putzin. Last time I played was 2 days ago. I've clocked a few hundrerd hours since beta. I realize that may not be much to those who clock thousands but I think it's sufficient. You mean back when everyone still put bows away to pull out melee weapons when their group...

    Some food for balancing thought

    When your arguments fail. I guess straight up fucking lying is an option. But maybe you aren't intentionally lying. Maybe your comprehension is just that low. I've said repeatedly MC need to be able to work in conjunction with foot forces to make a mixed MC/Foot force stronger than pure foot...

    Mounted instant/simple combat balance suggestion (but you will resist it)

    Yeah, changes like these are an absolute must to see mounted be balanced as a combat role but also not the only thing that gets played. Mounted is the strongest utility role in the game. And an absolute joke as a combat style no matter what the idiots who think otherwise say.

    Mounted instant/simple combat balance suggestion (but you will resist it)

    I feel like games that allow you to change your build readily and easily are a lot more fun to play, and it would be super awesome to see the kind of freedom that would allow you to swap to more mounted skills if you are going out riding with your guild and then swap them back out of your build...

    Looking for budget gaming laptop for MO2

    I think I spent around $1200 on my PC in total in 2020 and it runs this game very well. But the method I used to build it is have my friends who like hardware debate over a list of part. Purchase said list of parts https://pcpartpicker.com once they agreed on something, and then had a local shop...

    That sounds like a realistic ETA on mounted combat being viable for serious fights.

    What other alternatives to MO2 do we have?

    If you're after PvP but not a skill based combat system EVE is still going very strong. But yeah I think a lot of the people here are both here because they enjoy hardcore PvP and because they also want a game with combat a bit more action packed than turning modules on and off while zoomed out...

    The issue is "the best of the best" buys two different power levels. For steel you're getting near immunity to weaker forms of physical damage and substantial reduction to everything else. For light armor you're going from pretty bad to slightly less bad. I personally rarely spring for anything...
