Feels like a design issue

This thread is an absolute cracker. The irony of people telling others "if you dont like the game, go away" while simultaneously coming in to the thread to complain about it... sublime. On topic; there was a game that did this. Asheron's Call. It had like 6 pve servers and 1 full loot pvp...

Yah I see your point. Same time you gotta take in to account, right now, the server holds PvP, PvE, and crafters. With a non-pvp server, human nature tells me all the non-pvp players will migrate off the pvp server. And that's the biggest drawback for me.

Eh, I doubt it would steal dev time. They already have the tech to spin up alternate servers and turning off pvp (haven), and whatever content they produce can easily be pushed to both servers. I do think it would split the playerbase though and I'm not sure that's worth the cost. At the same...

Yeah kinda makes all the work they did on the queue "issue" a bit pointless. Not to say they should've ignored it but at the same time... I dont shovel my driveway if it's going to 50 degrees the next day.

Final fantasy 11 figured this out 20+ years ago. Let players make different builds they can swap to on the same character. Just put a cooldown on it and require using a priest. Having a system that doesn't allow for experimentation or simply punishes you because your build isn't as fun/viable...

Limit the amount of arrows people can carry to 50ish Still retains it's power, but limits the ability to cheese PvE and has a risk/reward in PvP.

I dont have a skin in this fight, but I always found the ability to carry 500+ arrows kind of silly. I wonder if SV limited it to 25 or 50 arrows, MA would be a bit more balanced as they couldn't endlessly fling arrows. I get it would be a bit of a nerf to pure archery builds but, leaning...

You say that as if their current plan won't allow that. Thats exactly what is going to happen

Certainly not an ideal situation. Not sure its even going to solve things. Players aren't going to be thrilled feeling like they are forced to play the handicapped instances or sit in a queue.

Sarducaa. The Wardaki Monks have unfinished business

This needs to be stickied by a mod in the announcements section

Hey Seb. Yeah makes sense. I do prefer the buy+sub model. Release is generally the biggest exposure point, especially for a game with no marketing. Would imagine they'd want to attract as many as possible out of the gate but maybe they prefer a steady trickle vs a mass influx.

This makes my brain hurt. If he is open to making Haven f2p at any point, why wouldn't it be at launch?

The 1 house per account made sense when housing spots were pre-set and limited in number. If they are going to have free placement again, there shouldn't be a hard cap. Design the system in a way that it's naturally limiting, not arbitrarily.

I'd imagine keeping MO1 servers up during initial development was far more detrimental to MO2 then it would be post launch. Even then I'm not understanding this pervasive assumption that MO1 in maintenance mode takes anything away from MO2.

If MO2 actually releases in January, that'll be almost 3 years since it was announced. So for 3 years they've been paying to keep the servers up for MO1 even though they effectively killed it by stating MO1 gets shut down when MO2 goes live. Any costs they've incurred would've been mitigated by...

It might be a good compromise to add an optional mini-game to mining/chopping. One that won't increase overall yield for the node, but simply speeds up the process. So for instance if it normally takes 4 mins to deplete a node, maybe it could take 3 mins to deplete if you hit a "sweet spot" for...

If I'm understanding the mechanics, once a group engages the queen the room is blocked off. That is effectively an instance if no other group can enter the room or interfere. Keep gates is a terrible analogy, nothing alike.
