Comments
Just to note.... I highlighted the interesting stuff in yellow. They didn't change combat a whole lot, it's basically the same boring system with some tweaks to stamina. No surprising magic changes either, other than stealing names from UO entirely to put some new spells in (just goes to show their whole design ideal lol).
Well folks, this is the patch that was supposed to fix it all. I am kind of chuckling right now about the notes, but any discussion about it is going to be fun.
That's right because UO invented those names and weren't taken from spells from the D&D 1st edition table-top roleplaying game. What's next, you going to say WOW created the mmo genre?
They have not stated the patch notes. If I'm not mistaken, these are the same ones that were posted on the official forums that were proven false and deleted.
While I had read this first before going to the official forums to find out it was fake, I had thought that this would have been a decent start on the long road to ACTUALLY improving this game.

No, everybody borrows obviously -- just that SV borrowed their entire design, and I found it funny that it just echoes in their spell names too. I mean it's just a funny note. At least UO was original in terms of what it offered, so was WOW in a lot of ways, and SV has nothing original and the entire GAME and DESIGN is ripped off from most elements of UO, then some elements of EVE, and some elements of Age of Chivalry.
There's a reason most people say there is no point to the game, and it has mostly to do with the poor design.
Not many improvements here, did they fix the lag, database and desync issue?
What are you talking about... these are posted on the official forums by a developer....

Seems to me that the game been going in the right direction for a while now. You just seem to take the negative view on it all the time.

i`ve seen loads of bullsh*t in these forums (whole mmorpg.com) but this gets special place in my top10.. would be so kind and explain how would you desing a game that makes everythign unique ? (obviously nothing less would be good enough for you)
atleast UO was original ? ..must have been first game you played. ever.
WoW in a lot of ways? oh man now your trolling so hard im sh*tting my pants... then again you might be amazed if someone just offered you yellow colored rock that you havent seen before and called it unique *rolleyes* then i cant blame you for being you.
how many names can you come up for a ball of fire that you shoot to destroy targets. or a spell that shakes earth. if you are what you claim to be some headhoncho in some office somewhere wich i dont believe you would know better than to grasp little things like this to just bash a game that tries to make something what people have been asking for.
Instead of just insulting the other poster, why don't you actually post some points that prove him wrong?
OnTopic:
I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing in those notes at all. I will definitely not be purchasing at launch, this game will need quite a large period of additional development before it is anywhere near what I would personally consider to be worthy of a release.
to kost : because of history. i`ll let you look into it if you care enough.
I find it ok that they borrow from UO.
They just need to remember to stop at AOS as then EA borrowed from Diablo and I doubt we would like that.
:P
Again, I followed this game and preordered it BECAUSE I thought they only 'borrowed' from UO, and still had a design that was their own.
They don't have a base design that ties it all together. It's just a mishmosh of systems from multiple games without any tying design to bring it all together. It's a failure on the design side. I made a car analogy that I liked a while ago, so I won't retype it, but let's just say if you take a Toyota Corolla for gas mileage, an Escalade for interior space, and a Ferrari for power and handling and try to build a car out of the pieces your car will be a big fat piece of crap.
Just like MO.

well, well. once i actually agree with you that they IMO tried to bite a bit too much with some of stuff (its still to be seen because they have delivered what they promised and we all knew what was coming when we signed up, so to say its going as planned).
but could you stil explain bit further than just normal bashing, what is these things they "borrowed and desing of theyr own" you talk about and where was the fault they did wrong?
for now i urge everyone who is able to download stuff from web, this case being mortal online for being in OB FOR FREE to try it themselfs maybe actually read before what this game is supose to be about and what state it is now.
