  • @Dale_Perf you don't run 8 man I suppose. It's not as bad as soloing, but the RPs can be extremely good while they can also be really bad, depends on the performance of the group. The issue is not for the top groups, it's to help the newer…
  • @Dale_Perf that's how drafts are made now. The issue is the timer when it is time to redraft. And I wonder where you took inspiration for the GvG command and reward. Having people show their locations through a /8v8 or /gvg command would be aweso…
  • @Dale_Perf Yes and no. There are some that like the smaller scale fights. However, right now you get zero RPs if you get rolled by a better 8 man. The likelyhood of an average/bad 8 man on killing one player from a good 8 man is relatively zero. …
  • @xuu There are a couple things, one is encouraging groups to unstick the zergs with some kind of GvG incentive. Just so that even if you aren't necessarily competitive and get rolled by stronger groups, you still get RPs and a reward for trying. At …
  • I like : OF overall size (much smaller than NF) OF porting limited to a single portal keep (instead of porting/boating all over the map) OF travel routes OF purple guards ripping people apart OF no water fights OF RAs RUT in general (longer ti…

  • yeah man remove qbinds from the game. I was also considering selling my car at home to buy a horse.
  • @Kroko It's tough to judge what would happen. I think the best way for BS to approach these kind of requests is to experiment, and right now with the Covid situation they have the highest pop playing since the last 2-3 years. They should take adv…
  • @Mahvash I am not offended, text isn't the best way to discuss. What I mean is that "classic" already exists for the population that like this kind of game, which I'd estimate as 30% of the potential player base. So like Shay keeps saying,…
  • Hmm I didn't spec my BD in BA for the healing pets... more for the "shoot on the move" archer pets. BA was nerfed because it was stupid, mainly by nerfing the dread lord back to yellow con. Now, you want the Dread Lord back to OJ con and have …
  • @Mahvash How long since you've actively played the game? Between not being updated on class changes and then concluding that classic is the solution there is a bit of a gap. As an example, you mention your SB. Did you spec any MoS? They change…
  • I'm starting to think that Brut only has access to a computer when he's drunk. @Koe very philisophical, thank you.
  • I don't understand how people can catch your skald? You have max speed + plenty of getaway tools. And I don't get how you won't get blapped on classic? You'll just sit mezzed longer than now.
  • There is no logical reason why BS wouldn't let people multi-box. They can adjust the buffing so that buffbots aren't possible in RvR though to even out the playing field. But again, people saying "I will sub 17 accounts if it is classic" make me …
  • @Esel that's the point. Let's say you wentnto see investors and said "hey guys, I have this amazing product idea. It already exists and it's free, but we'll charge 15$ per month for users tongrt exactly the same experience, it's going to be awesome"…
  • Classic is a waste of time
  • People would think that the covid is the biggest plague of our times, but having vocal conspiracy theorists is the actual plague. If you can't back stuff up with facts and proof, you are a worthless human being Sleepwell is obviously troll…
  • As lng as they don't do a si + housing server and have something unique that server should have good pop. I wonder who would pay for something you can get for free.
  • @Jusva PMing her on discord will most likely get the fastest response. But what you describe is cross realming in my opinion.
  • Yeah it's a tough one. Smallman in this game is pointless. There is nothing you can do that makes it worthwhile, unless you manage to find the more casual oriented groups (Asatruar, Pale Horse, etc.) running around with 8-10, then you can take th…
  • But to be fair, I don't see what you could give the Armsman that wouldn't be giving for the sake of giving. Been playing my arms all week (in an alb hybrid) and tbh, it's fun. I don't feel I'm missing out on anything compared to Hero. I don't hav…
  • @Amp_Phetamine I disagree with you that you shouldn't consider the loyalty cloak when discussing the armsman. That cloak, on a peeling class, is ridiculous. There is a chance not 100% of armsman will get it, but it's a huge tool. The R5, i…
  • @Koe you obviously didn't understand my post, not sure why you are all upset about it. By the way why are you getting cranked up? I merely explained in more detail Enk's point of view. If you feel like getting Aug Dex 7 to get a 0.02-0.05 faste…
  • @Kroko I think he meant it more in the sense that hitting breakpoints past 350 won't win you fights, as Koe is suggesting.
  • @Koe Sometimes it's good to discuss in absolute figures, not only in relative. So, if you look at Simon's raw data, for a 2.5 sec spell (one people argue about staying at 362 or going to 398 break point. 2.5 spd breakpoints 362 dex = 1.13 (11…
  • The solution is having two alternative revenue streams. Stream #1, subs. You want to keep a sub, but it has to offer 100% peace of mind. I don't want to make a single Mythril shop purchase if I sub. Stream #2, pay per use type. accessing the g…
  • Patch 1.127 that will integrate some housing updates along with a revamp of the EC account restrictions. Hopefully, they will adjust XP rates and dramatically reduce restrictions.
  • Wow I'm surprised the arms doesn't get evade 1 while hero and war get it, no brainer change to me imo
  • pets are pets, a pet fear will scare pets. You can scare the theurg R5 with cowering bellow if you're quick enough
  • Play Sims
  • @Dogtags Unless you already have 100 characters (10 slots/ywain x 10 ywains), why would you delete the character that owns the house?
  • @Amp_Phetamine I think you are looking at the Armsman strictly from a solo perspective, because right now, they are equivalent to Hero and Warr in a 8 man environment. Snapshot was a nice add-on that I think is all the armsman needed to make it…
  • Who, as a company, with any sort of intelligence, would come up with a product that already exist in the marketplace, and that the main differentiator is that their's is free while yours costs money? Tell me how that makes any sense? Stop aski…
  • You know when in 2020 people get accused of using an unfair advantage because they bought a gaming keyboard and mouse for 50 bucks
  • EC should be an alternative revenue model, bottom line, not a gimped long term "free trial". Remove all restrictions, keep the slow RPs progression. Keep MLs, CLs, cloak, etc a somehwat pita to complete, but offer inexpensive tokens in the MTX st…
  • No that's just how Brut talks.
  • @Cartoan You don't use you Xbow other than when snapshotting. If rooted, doing CL disease is much better. The Armsman isn't miles away from hero/warr imo. Free snapshot gives the arms a unique ability that has it's use. The only thing that the…
  • But why start with OF or NF, when you could do modifications to either one and/or build a new frontier map? By deciding NF or OF, you start by alienating 50% of your playerbase. If they want any kind of success, and differentiate themselves with …
  • @Daelin Is Koe in Asatruar or something to come up with things like that?
  • @Koe you stick your head in the ground thinking enchanters must have OP specs because enchantment chanters don't exist. Did it ever occur to you that enchantment chanters just freakin suck? They are bad, terrible, if you play one you want to dele…

  • @Jorma Yeah I'm not sure if they should allow multi-accounts / bots. It adds a nice dynamic to RvR that killing the buffing class basically wrecks the whole group. Field buffing also adds a challenge to RvR. Also not allowing buff bots forces people…
  • I think people see ToA and have a mental breakdown, just thinking about doing a 6 hour ML3 raid. ML1-10 should be max 2-3 hours total to complete in my opinion, same as a Cursed raid or a Galla/Sisi/Glacier run. Redesign the MLs so that maybe onl…
  • I think people forget that you'll have to pay a sub to play on the new server. So what will make that server special so that people will be enticed to pay a sub for a game that is accessible for free? You can't just do a SI + housing server, the …
  • Realm timers are OK when the pop is 2k+ active players at all times (without bots). Under that, there shouldn't be timers, in my opinion.
  • @Rohan I get your point, but then you are creating even more parallel RvR, so people have even less chance to run into each other while roaming. Add a port and a "zone" and you'll have larger numbers camping it, just like the solo zones. Tbh cu…
  • @Kelteen pop dropped by 50-75% in the first 4-5 months. And the remaining population is already served with exisiting servers, hence my point that there is no point in competing with a similar product that is free while yours is a payed membership.
