Prediction Thread: Melee abilities will be the second most successful patch Mortal has ever had.

[Teknique]

Seems the games combat is now thursars spamming 2h maul abilities and trading hits. So much fun... Chikaboom!

So you mean nothing changed?

None of the core combat issues and balance problems were addressed. Cheese weapons and battle tactics are still rampant. Now we just have an even lower time to kill with abilities that one shot people for no stamina cost. As much as the melee system is toxic, the true toxic part of the game is rat mages. They were buffed again with this patch. Hailstone and Ember are doing 30~40 damage on players and 60~70 on pet that has a 0.5 second cast time. Lightning and tower shields aren't nerfed either.

The only thing they didn't need to touch or change, the melee combat, has now been butchered by the great Neb which of course has no idea whatsoever about the melee combat and implemented weapon abilities that not only make no sense damage or speed wise, but are literally unparriable. Good Job at destroying the last fun and skill based thing left in the game. Mage is now more skill based than foot fighter. The whole melee combat system is now about adrenaline buildup and ability spam, absolute garbage that has no place in a directional melee based combat. Great Patch btw!!! Not like half the game is also pissed off at the rep change and tagmatons literally griefing kranesh everyday...

I'll take that bet

btw @fartbox I am playing now. If you could send me some money that would be nice. 500 gold is fair, I think.

Wonder if this will still happen? I was looking at the numbers, and it's kinda crazy how trash the pop has been since sub haha. I didn't realize how bad it was. I know the server can only hold 2k people, but I'd like to see the game like... 1k avg and 15-1700 peak.

I don't see how that's possible, and I feel like this is kind of sad considering that the game was on big sale (game for the cost of 1 month sub.) It's definitely a boost FOR NOW, but I really feel like things are gonna band back if they don't make it more accessible. Making a game for all the sweaties is sooo dumb.

So, will we approach 1500 OR will we go back to 5-600? Double or nothing?

hi @fartbox I was reading your calling MOFOs dimwits or something. It is tough to argue theory in a lot of cases, but there are rare situations where someone says something and you can actually judge it by what happens.

I think your PoV that people here are too stupid is why the devs left is wrong. The people here are very rigid. This is like "MO1" in a lot of ways. Sure, people are unhinged, but a lot of lesser people got trolled out of here or gave up. This forum is unironically more hardcore than MO2 in its current state.

It seems, to me, like the devs coming back here would be a good idea. Abandoning your official forums is generally a bad look, unless you make another one. <3
