Please tell me it's a bad joke. The game is still in pre-alpha phase where nothing works. They seriously want to take such a huge jump from pre-alpha to release? O_O

It has a lot of potential, but this dumb move will ruin all their work on this game. Also they're asking 50€ for a pre-alpha game. O_o

    Yeah i know what you mean, i just hope they are able to sustain the game for a good while after release even if box sales are very low because if it really is basically pre-alpha at release they probably are not going to get much sales unless they fix it up alot quickly.

    Started playing mmorpg's in 1996 and have been hooked ever since. It began with Kingdom of Drakkar, Ultima Online, Everquest, DAoC, WoW...

    Yes, its still in pre-alpha.  Game is going to have a disasterous launch.  I have told all my friends that were interested not to buy it and everyone that already bought it, I explained to them how to get a refund for it.

     

    If you have purchased the game already... GET A REFUND FAST!

     The worse part is:

    New players who don't know anything about the current state of the game will just buy it for 50€. Once they get into the game, most of them will most likely rage quit. This will result in horrible reviews which will hurt the game badly.

    Thats why I recommend anyone that has bought it to get a refund and look at it after launch.

    Just launch the damn game, and slowly patch it up over the year : )

    As long i see that the devs are working, im happy! Of course a perfect game would be the best, but that is nothing we see to often nowdays.

    I heard that tomorrow a new patch will come. I also heard of some kind of surprise for the players (hope we get it then). The problem was that they patched in lots and lots of new stuff just before christmas ... so now they can spend 70% of their time fixing bugs instead of develop new things. So the game will imrpove much faster now than before christmas.

    So, lets see how the game will be after that patch. There will be at least 2 more patches before release, except smaller server fixes.

    This is a reoccurring theme -- there are no such things as miracle patches.

     

    I can understand the need for it though, seeing the state the game is in. I guess I'd hope for it too.

    Actually, Age of Conan released a miracle patch minutes before official launch. It was amazing actually. I doubt Star Vault has the same ace in their sleeve, but just sayin'.

    On the bright side, at least SV isn't promising DX10 on the box.

     I'm gonna give it a go. See, I can play a game with a few issues if its fun.  To all of you people trying to bury it before it even releases I say this: Don't frikkin go into the forums in the pub here or whatever and bitch for innovtion,sandbox, smaller companies to make games, open pvp or anything else that is refreshing. You also dont get to bitch about wow clones or asian grinders since apparently all you will be willing to accept is the same ol shit with polish.

    That's kind of the point people are making. It's not even a game, it's not fun, and there's nothing to do.

     

    Go play Age of Chivalry, I think it has more depth.

    That's a totally unfair statement.  To say that by complaining about a company that has lied repeatedly (see fake tracking numbers to PayPal plus many other instances), has taken money for 6+ months and not delivered a product, does not want to give you a refund, and has no customer support at all, I have somehow magically forgone my rights to support a good company working on an innovative game is silly.

    I never went to see that Dungeons and Dragons movie in the theaters because it was a really, really bad movie.  Does that mean I shouldn't have gone to see the LoTR trillogy?

    This game is so unbelievably fail.  Did they ever change the title on the window the game runs in from "UnrealEngine3" to something that might give one the impression that they have even the slightest idea what they're doing?

    Nope, still says "UnrealEngine3"    This game is going to be a disaster...  :(

    How hard is it to search on "UnrealEngine3" and replace it with "Mortal Online".  Hell they could even search for CreateWindow and hard-code the second parameter ffs.  Between that and no automated server recovery (not even a scheduled task?  really??) I used to just shake my head in amazement.  I was block A but I didn't even think it was worth the 3GB hard disk space.

     

    P.S.  At least tell me the patcher works now, pretty please....

    They are still using the same patcher (they updated it due ot getting a new patch content server which is just as slow)  So the patcher freezes, has really loud music.  Disaster waiting to happen in 2 weeks at launch...  People won't know how bad it is until they see this stress test.  Hopefully less people dont throw their money away once they see how bad it is.

    That's a negative on the patcher -- basically you'll be downloading an entire client for a while to come, because they still haven't gotten the idea of just transmitting the deltas over to you. And since the patcher has limited bandwith, and nobody had the foresight to create a torrent based patcher (even though I basically gave them the code), you are stuck with their broken system.

     

    Oh, and the UnrealEngine3 thing -- I mentioned that too, eons ago. *sigh*

    I don't know if this applies to a bought unreal license, but they might have to have the unreal engine logo on their splash screen. If you download the free version it is mandatory. They must pay homage to the peeps who did the real work :)
