I have to ask here as I was banned for saying that anyone who thought the game was ready to release in June was deluded
So have they added anything to the new beta client that had everything turned off?
I still have some hopes for this game but have been frustrated with the issues it has faced and lack of progress since I bought the beta back in August.
Comments
I logged in yesterday..and saw 2 players at prime time, was walking in the wilds and saw most mobs teleporting and flying ..ill post a youtube video soon..its just a disgrace this game...
It would work if blizzard or ccp got it and started all from scratch...these guys at SV dont have the talent, knolege, money and common sence to pull it ...and no quality standards...comming from nortic countrys id never believe it if i didnt see it...talking about the CE box also
Mortal Online makes you realise just how good Darkfall is even with its faults. Adventurine made that game all themselves and it is still the only MMO that has huge online battles with action FPS style swing your sword combat.
It is just a shame they can't make it racial wars not clan wars.
Anyway, good luck SV, I do hope you manage to sort things out, although I fear that we maybe hearing of a total shut down of this project and refunds of money.
Personally though i will not ask for my money back as I have played many many hours in the open beta.
There is a poll up about whether they will make their release date, so I'd have to say you getting banned is likely to have more to do with how you said it that what you said.

As to adding new content / features, I believe the answer is no they haven't (at least as of Monday).
Yes well I think I said something along the lines of:
"You must be an utter prick if you think the game will be released in June"
And lets be honest you would have to be an utter prick to think it will.
I to wish that they had better luck with this game as many of the ideas i liked alot and was keeping an eye out. I guess time will tell and if the game does go live i think that i will wait a month ot two before investing any money to see what others who are playing the game have to say.
With any luck though they will shoot from half court and pull off a buzzer beater and the game will run ok (i know i know. Im going fo the "my glass is 1/2 full here!)
I assume you didnt beta test?
I win!!! LOL@U
No i didnt. After all the negative posts i just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best for MO
wow either u are lying or the fanboys are lying since they said its fixed but I think I trust u more than the fanboys lol.

I win!!! LOL@U
he. thats funny.
So if I decide to re-install out of sheer curiosity, which city/starting points do i choose that has thievery turned off so I dont have to worry about that shit?
Yep its true man...im a block A tester..Collectors Edition not proud owner...and yesterday for the 10000000time i downloaded the new client because for the 1000000time it doesnt update itself..and now once again it doenst install...you have to run it from the downloaded folder called "client"
And i frapsed the 20 minutes i was ingame...was empty, saw 2 players total, no talking in local chat...mobs fly allover the place and teleport..its insane...
I dont wish a game to go bad..but lets face the facts..MO is a complete mess....and the devs cant do nothing about it..they just cant..
One thing i like about the game..its the art style, graphics..and ambient sounds in most places..it gives a real world feeling , a medievel age...
But optimizations need to be done, bugs tons of bugs cliches etc, needs to fix shadows, view distance is too great..fps goes down alot, and stutter alot, with more then 10ppl fighting it will be a 1frame per second lag feast...
And a game with a seamless world suposed to be a pvp sandbox must be able to have dozens of people in the same screen without degrading performance...
Im not gonna talk about the combat, and some features like thief etc..
I post the small movie when i get home showing the mobs yesterday..and a review of the game with my thoughts soon enough..
So I assume then that the "sync issue is fixed" statement is bullshit?
Not surprised but really looking for a confirmation either way.
My gaming blog
Yes..the sync issue is not solved in fact i saw more desincked and flying mobs yesterday then 1 months ago...
mobs teleporting and flying got nothing to do with desync.....
It's not a desync problem. I see mobs in other games fly and teleport (Pokemon).
Does it really matter? There are still mobs " teleporting and flying."
Whats this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIhlZKdyHyM Sure isnt just a pathing issue.
I win!!! LOL@U
Then whatever it has something to do with it needs to be fixed. I have played alot of MMORPGs and I have never seen this kind of rocket teleporting so no way will "just lag" suffice as an explanation.
My gaming blog
its not lag. but its not desync. was just stating that for those who think they know what desync is. its not that.
an example for desync would be if you stand in town, then run to the wild but can still see and chat (without lag) with the people in town even tho your "body" is miles away.
Yeah, don't care really. Mobs teleporting all over the place is not acceptable and calling it something else than desync as an excuse is also not acceptable
My gaming blog
Honestly the mobs was fixed before we went to the new solution (engine update). There is a patch today/tomorrow that is going to adress most of these problems. Lets wait to pass judgement on the game when we see the patch in place.
And I HAVE seen this type of issue before Darkfall had the same problems with mobs walking on water and teleporting around. I have also seen this happen in EQ.
I had friends who were very excited about MO. They made guilds on forum, and said to the rest 'come too' (I said 'no, Ill wait for now'). They even went in close beta. They said they liked it but the game needed some growing more. They were still part of testing.
Months passed, and I heard none of them anymore about MO in any way, and now they're all playing AION and AOC.
I guess theyre not excited anymore about MO.

Almost all features were turn off at the make of the video.
what excuse? its a bug, its just got nothing to do with the desync everyone talking about. of course its not acceptable and they won't release it that way. all I did was stating that it got nothing to do with desync, so if someone tell you "HEY! they didn't fix desync, look the animals are porting around, desync is still there" then you know that they know nothing about it.
I am honestly struggling to think of ANY aspect of the game that is finished, bug free, balanced.. and in a launchable state right now.
Combat- Not a chance.. even Henricks post says that he is looking for balancing feedback on combat after the next patch
Crafting- Lot's of options.. few that are useful.. probably closest to being complate
Magic- No way.. utterly unfinished
Housing- Only basic housing available in numbered slots and even that will still be turned off next patch
Thievery- Totally buggy and exploit prone. I think this skill gets more complaints than any other facet of the game on the MO forums. As per Henrick it will bemain deactivated for the next patch.
Guilds- Won't be in the next patch.. what existed before was rudimentary at best.
Siegewar- Nope.. not in yet.. or anytime soon as far as I know
Guards/Safeareas- Nope.. still "placeholders"
Mapmaking- Nope.. still not in game yet
Dungeons- Nope.. plenty of empty caves though
AI- Horrid... see flying/pigs
Lag/Desync- All the old Desync lssues such as getting attacked by mobs 50 feet away.. invisible mobs.. warping mobs.. still there. Just called lag now.
Religous cults- Nope.. though the Features tab still talks about how you can create temples and destroy those of your god's enemies... not in game...
So.. I honestly ask.. is there any part of the game that is "done" 13 days from launch? Anything that can be pointed to and said.. this is complete and working as intended? As I mentioned above.. I guess crafting comes closest but that's no way near it's final form...
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)
