so clothing and armor have health bars now and can be killed?
and toferio you shouldnt say anything about bad spelling seriously
Why is that, enlighten me. Is that a swing at my own spelling? If so, you should realize there's a difference in quality expectations between a random forum poster and an official announcement, the later should be double checked before it's posted.

or you could just not give a frick... id understand if it was a proper typo but when youre expecting a swedish guy to differentiate between dying and dyeing youre being a bit douche
and yes it was a swing at your own spelling.. and just incase you ask, no im not going to find direct quotes you can find them yourself

You are both right and both wrong:
I don't care what language you speak but if you are making an official announcement from your company in English, it really shows your lack of proffessionalism if you can't be bothered to spell check. That being said....
It is kinda douchey to knitpick about spelling and play the spelling nazi card if your own spelling isn't the best...
Just my 2 cents...
A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true...

I don't necessarily expect Swedish people to understand the difference between dyeing and dying, I do expect a company to double check their announcement. I have to agree however, it's a minor thing. The result is funny nonetheless thou.
I'd also counter that it's as much of a douche move to take a swing at my spelling but avoid providing any concrete examples. You bring it up, you dig it up.
And so the hype begins. Another "revolutionary" patch, sorry, expansion, promoted as the turning point for MO, the patch that will finally make the game complete, etc.
I love how they keep making all these unrealistic promises, like "AI never before seen in an MMO". Given their track record I think I'll wait and see about that. Besides, they already have an AI never before seen in an MMO; floating mobs, invisible mobs, rocket pigs and wisents that eat you up so that you have to fight them from inside!
ROFL... I was going to say the same thing.
I mean... before you launch your second so-called expansion, shouldn't you at least finish your first so-called expansion? I mean, wasn't the gene system the revolutionary feature never before seen in an MMO from DAWN? How's that working out?
And how about the big territory control system? Nice and hyped... and then quickly realized to be a dud.
Anyone who starts to buy into the hype about his after all the other broken and unfilfilled promises... well.. I don't know what to say to you. IMHO it's just yet another attempt to dangle another carrot in fron't of a desperate playerbase to get them to continue to extend their subscriptions for another undetermined period of time until the game will finally be "fixed".
SV needs to stop over promising and under delivering. Until such time the company has ZERO credibility.

<cgi701> Henrik: what about the local business , there will be local auction houses or something like it ? (I hate the /say trading)
<HenrikNystrom> there will be no local auto acution
<HenrikNystrom> its all manual trade, we want player interaction
<HenrikNystrom> thou you can hire a vendor to start sell for you as well
<HenrikNystrom> but player interaction is needed to get going
<HenrikNystrom> I lack that in todays mmos
<HenrikNystrom> one of the best things in UO
<HenrikNystrom> player interaction
The lack of AH is even a selling point in their original power point iirc. Guess trade brokers are exactly what an auction house is, hopefully local.
I am also curious.. is the expansion name the big thing Henrick meant to announce, hyped by Theia to be something completely "new and unexpected"? I mean, he said it is something he worked on, while everything in the expansion is team effort and was known about before it was announced today.. I think something else is coming.
OnT: I wonder how well the hype machine will work this time around. Can't be that many people left taking SV's word for it when it comes to all these awesome, revolutionary features supposedly fixing the game once and for all.
Sure, the usual die-hards are jizzing all over the official forums but those guys would swallow anything Henrik fed them, so that doesn't really mean anything. I think most regular, sane players are pretty fed up of empty words and probably won't get very excited about anything but tangible, playable, stable results.
But ofc that may be wishful thinking on my part. Some parts of the MO fanbase never cease to amaze me.

Ive been working on Tindrem, you can see a screenshot from it as well.
Everything moving forward nicely
Thanks

I'd think at this point it comes down to if they can practice what they preach.
If you consider keeping the current subs going until patch as the hype machine working well, then i guess it will work pretty well. i don't see it doing much more than that though, not untill it's patched and working
Those are actually very cool features they are promising.
Thank you! Lovely to see a positive comment!
Yes, damn straight they are very cool features. I've been talking about them here for a little while now - it's lovely to finally see so much hard work that's been going on for such a long time finally announced.
It will be even better when it's released.
TC will be meaningful with taxation - and an awful lot of missing 'fluff' will go in.
So I think it;'s been a good day. I know we're getting negative comments here - but we'll press on as always and try to deliver something unique for our playerbase. Looking at the MO forums there's an awful lot of excitiment.
I note that some of the suggestions from regular posters here are appearing in the next expansion.

This is outstanding news. The systems listed in the announcement really are some of the ones that are most important, and needed to be worked on or added the most. As long as they are able to release it with a reasonable degree of quality, it'll improve the game a lot.

Agreed! So the Testing Team's role is going to be key. Looking forward to starting testing in earnest! And I think this is outstanding news too - personally very excited to see this.

The problem is quite simple. SV has a pattern of over promising and under delivering. Just look at your response. You used the word "will" 3 times in 2 sentences...
I mean.. none of this stuff is in game. The wonderful Gene system which was the big hyping point of the last expansion sounded great too. But that hasn't been implemented yet either... Start to deliver on promises and then talk about how good the game actually IS instead of making promise number 100 that the game will get better in the future.

Well since I have access to SV coders and direct visibility of progres and you don't slapshot I'm pretty comfortable with that. That was an in-game shot of Tindrem you know... despite the suggestion it was a mock-up. Funny.

I don't necessarily expect Swedish people to understand the difference between dyeing and dying, I do expect a company to double check their announcement. I have to agree however, it's a minor thing. The result is funny nonetheless thou.
I'd also counter that it's as much of a douche move to take a swing at my spelling but avoid providing any concrete examples. You bring it up, you dig it up.
please excuse me if not a frick is given.
a simple thing like spellcheck will not understand the difference between dying and dyeing so that is pretty much irrelevant. i think most of you are sad for coming on this forum while you want nothing to do with the game other than to bash it but picking on something as irrelevant as that is just beyond ridiculous
Someone needs to save all of this someplace so that when Theia comes back and says none of this was ever promised or said to be in the expac again we have proof lol.
In any case, will have my popcorn ready.... if history teaches anything, MO's new expac will bring some interesting forum posts lol.
Wait....... I'm actually confused. Did SV just host a disussion about the direction the game is going and one of the things said was that the game will be going in a direction more akin to skyrim just the other day?
Then this Expac is announced and Theia stated it's been in the works or has been planned for awhile already....
Doesn't that mean that what ever the devs and players discussed recently will have little to no effect on the direction MO takes seeing as they have already chosen a direction prior to discussing it with the players?
I'm confused as I stated earlier. Was this a talk like the UO devs have with the player base where the community can actually contribute to the direction the game takes or was this more of a ...... Q&A that had 0 impact?

Agreed! That 2H Greatsword cuts both ways tho!!!
In my experience..... thats simply not true for MO lol! But I give you points for being so optimistic given the current situation of the company you work for. Take pride in what you do, even if your cleaning toilets.
Has anyone else noticed that the same couple of people repeatedly make negative and sarcastic comments about Mortal Online? I mean once or twice is critisism. Some of these people are just trolling.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!

Delighted to see how excited everyone is! And nice to see so many features that have been under construction for a long time are coming together now!
Hope you all enjoy the new features! We're really looking forward to it too!
