Lag Patch Video Gameplay - What was actually fixed?

Just made a little short video about 2 hours after the patch came out. Wanted to let everyone know that the game is still full of bugs including a broken AI. We were told the AI pathing was suppose to be fixed a few weeks ago, well it isn't... Remember that most of these bugs have been there for months. It took me 30 minutes of walking around to find 4 sets of mobs, 1 pig, 1 gazelle, 1 horse and 1 wisen.
Just watch the video and you will see for yourself.
Please, no flaming or trolling in this thread...

Thats rather unfortunate, many people had hoped this would be the one.
I win!!! LOL@U
I haven't been playing MO for a long time, but I never experienced the Desynch issue. I did have lag in certain areas though, seemed to be FPS-related since when I turned the graphics down, it worked "fine". Though quite frankly, my PC is much stronger than the "requirements" so the issue must be coming from somewhere else.
That said, since I didn't experience any desynch/major lag that were game breaking, it's the least thing that bothered me. On the other hand, there's a large list of things that needs to be fixed ASAP.
seams they need a better AI server and have to buy one
BestSigEver :P
lol fabernum works better than never before no lag or fps problems. havent killed anything yet
Will log in latter and have a play.
Are you sure you don't work for AV?
You are right though from what I can see. The pathing is messed. pets run around at lightning speed. Animations for chopping wood are showing up after I have run away from the tree. There seem to be more floating animals than ever before. Still getting attacked by animals I can't see. . then I look up and the pig is in a tree far away from me.
Equiping the items was not a problem. . drawing them also seemed to happen right away as compared to before but it seems to have traded off for worse issues. Maybe if the examine the changes they can finally figure this out.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
I'll explain what was fixed. In combat when swinging, blocking or recieving damage, there was at least a 3- 5 second delay before this patch fixed that delay to nothing.
Now when i swing my sword, the domestic pig i swing at takes damage, squeels and attacks me back accordingly. You aren't looking at lag in the video when the creatures are moving. They really are "teleporting" to the correct spot the should be in.
SV has essentially fixed the syncing issue to be playable, combat is now playable but it still has a few wrinkles. SV is aware of this and even tell us in the patch notes that creatures will "teleport" to their correct spot when you client becomes out of sync and re-syncs.
The honest communication of them realizing it still needs work and has their full attention is refreshing if you ask me. The game literally went from, combat is a guessing game to, wow i just split that creature in half with my sword as soon as i clicked my left mouse button.
[Mod Edit]
Will this game be better or worse than DnL ??????
Unfortunately another patch that really doesn't do much of anything. SV, seriously.
Cant help but reminisce on all the hurdles that Aventurine went through with Darkfall, see similarities to challanges with launching a mmorpg, and then them pulling it off with one of the better sandboxy mmorpgs available. Thanks for the information, but it seems like its par for the course for indie studios; not such an alarming thing I guess.
Striving for Silver Stars since Gold is so effeminate.
I love this game!
Rocket pigs, driver deers, flying humans... Menagerie is just impressive!

I actually thought the part of the video where the pig got stuck between the guys legs was pretty cool. It seemed like he was trying to shake it off
Mind you the foot looked like it was part of the players anatomy. . which we should not have to see in a game.. . oh wait. . .
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Darkfall had at least a working game- Admittedly there wasnt much there at the start but what was there worked... MO is so half assed and patched together with duct tape that it really isnt funny...
Averturine is at least a professional and competent company who just promised waaaay too many features and pissed alot of folks off by nixing those features. SV are incapable of making a working patcher after months and are incapable (or uncaring) enough to fix basic game issues.
No. AV pulled it off and turned things around but MO will be unable to do the same- My personal opinion is that MO will either be shut down within a year or go free to play.... Animals still fly around and breathe underwater, Horses still explode and get stuck on bridges, soooooooooooooooo many issues which have been there since day 1 of OB are still there after how many patches? And they ae going to release in less than 2 weeks? =/
Nope. The Hardcore fanboys have essentially said they will sub as an "investment" in the concept- After the first free month I bet they lose half their subs (the non "hardcore" who will demand results for their money) and slowly the fanboys will trickle out- Less money, less development.... What you see now is essentially what the game will be 3,4,6 months down the road.
PLUS, Darkfall may have had some bad work of mouth but NOTHING like this... This has got to be the most trashed game I have ever seen (and rightfully so)-
correct me if im wrong but darkfalls release was delayed 4 years or more?so yes AV do have some time still and its nothing like darkfall,yet atleast.

When DF release was delayed they weren't charging people. . MO is releaseing. I wish they would wait a bit but this is not the case.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
so because sv says so its now your fault not the clients fault, anyways since when do creatures teleport anywhere?

Hmmmm, not sure about 4 years delay but it was a long time.... That is what MO should have done, that is my point. It isnt close to ready right now, people are going to be charged full AAA price for a game and a sub when the product is actually in very early CB state (from what I have witnessed)
If MO would have held off longer there may have been a shot... Also, DF would have totally failed if ANY other hardcore MMO had been in existance at that time. The very fact that they were it really helped them through the rough patch.
Looked like he had a baby?

I bought beta access yes and full game itself gets delayed,no big deal.I cant see the problem here,pretty much every game gets delayed nowadays.
actually I hope that MO gets delayed even more at this point,so i can play in beta for free and they can fix bugs and make game better,and beta testers can share their knowledge and promo that game sametime,here in MMORPG.com is lots of promoers and they seem to find lots of bugs and AV can fix those with their help.

It is already set in stone for them to release the game broken. They started release phase 2 months ago to try and make their investors happy. Now they are rushing it out broken. Just think what would have happened if they kept their launch date back last summer... the game would have basic combat and half the world's textures would still say "beta"
