Well, I saw what they did with WoW classic. It's a disaster.

They promised vanilla experience to players, and then they just took lich king expansion and are deriving vanilla from that. Animations are different, low level gear is different (we saw in demo that gear came with crit rating, this didn't exist in low level vanilla) and if they are building on top of lich king, there is plenty of stuff mechanically that will be different.

They are bringing vanilla lands, but the game is far from vanilla. I predict a huge fail, but we will see.

@Frost people who will play alpha 1, will be those people that have a lots of cash and can afford it. People who can't will wait. Life isn't fair.

At least for pre alpha, people had a chance to earn the access with activity and community effort, and that should imho be rewarded. People that have cash will buy lots of cosmetics in cash shop anyway.

I recently switched to an induction hub, so i'm still getting the hang of it.

I kinda like em this "thin". I put sauce on them, then roll 'em up.
Syrups and Nutella were waiting at the table.

Whats wrong with white window? White means, clean.

Ping issues have to be solved by the people themselves.

So players should move to different country (where server is) or gtfo? lol

Do you understand what ping is? The only way to "solve the ping" is to reduce distance between your location and server location. VPN only helps a tiny bit, but players that are closer to server will ALWAYS have a ping advantage.

This is where global cool down comes in, it doesn't allow players close to server to gain too much advantage by spamming their skills faster. It also makes game more tactical, and less of a button masher.

Global cool down makes game much more fair between players that have smaller and players that have larger ping.

No global cool down = button mashing = player with better ping wins. This makes game essentially NOT skill based anymore, but ping based.

@jetah said in About Pre-alpha disclosure ?:

discord is the worst method because the search is limited and it's impossible to provide proper feedback for the team to look review later.

But it's great for Mike to say to testing community quickly, "hey i found this fish that's stuck in a tree, can anyone verify?", and then Bill and Jenny, can quickly say "Oh yeah I saw that, it's indeed a bug".

And then Joseph fills out bug report to prealpha forum section, because Mike, Bill and Jenny are lazy asses who can only bother to chat on Discord.

Perhaps even a closed discord channel. Quick and easy way to submit feedback and report bugs.

It's never too early to spam F5!

Everything is open world, and PvE raid bosses on PvP planets will be contested and it will be a lot harder to kill them, fighting both bosses and player disturbances.

Giving Arboreus PvE raid bosses would put beast-kin in unfairly advantageous position, easy mode loot, without having to deal with PvP interference.

I played so many MMOs I can't even count them (dozens), but if I had to chose TOP 3 I would set aside as most memorable ones:

Vanilla WoW - my first MMO, the strongest nostalgia, most friends made through the years playing, amazing game until Blizzard nerfed everything down the line with each following expansion.

Allods Online - an amazingly designed game, immense amount of content, great class balance, super fun, best ship combat I have every seen, super fun PvE raids, GvG, open PvP. Just one HUGE minus - it is an IMMENSE P2W. -- (If P2W didn't exist, this right here might have been (overall) the best game ever designed).

The Secret World (ORIGINAL edition) - The best PvE game that ever came out. I'm emphasising PvE part, because PvP was only 3 mini games and that was it. PvE however was the TOP. Best story, most amazing quests, awesome raids, superrior theory crafting, game EXTREMELY based on knowledge and player skills (quite a few players actually quitted due to game being too hard for them). -- (TSW Legends expansion ruined the game completely, and game is currently trash.)

Yeah, you are usually not allowed to even say that you got invited if it's under NDA.

What you could (technically) do, and, on paper, it wouldn't be illegal is to write every day that you didn't get an invite, and when you actually get it, stop writing all together.

However if you do that, you might not get an invite in the first place.

Open Arenas yes.

Dueling is a bit surplus, with arenas available. It's a combat with a safety net, kinda for wimps. But who knows, maybe it gets implemented.

Instanced mini games, no, we will likely not have them. At least not on start. Down the line, who knows, if game is successful and investment is worth it for the devs, maybe.

So lets say you are a PvP player, but want to be good aligned. Then playing a beast-kin is perfect for you.

You can always go to Tartaros, no travelling limits, and have as much PvP as you want. You being shown on map, just gives you more PvP, which you like.

You can also access full Arborues, including safe zones, and full Syndesia, so no travelling limits for you. You can get as much PvP as you want on Syndesia and on Tartaros, and when you want you can grind undisturbed in Arboreus safe zone, and gain wealth without risk, preparing for your PvP ventures.

Game feels a bit catered towards good aligned PvPers if you ask me. But I will leave it to devs to balance it.

@target said in Will the Demons take over the Human world?:

The impression I got is that demons have a buff on their own planet, and when they go to Syndesia, they lose that buff (on Arboreus, they get debuffed on top of that). The exception to this is an eclipse where demons retain their Tartaros buffs when traveling to Syndesia.

This is correct. Also, on Arboreus they can only stay for very short time, and inside a limited zone (they can't venture into safe zones). So travelling to Arboreus will generally be to try to scoop a few resources, in short time frame, before being forcibly ported out. Not much time for PvP there, with an exception of unavoidable PvP when beast-kin will try to annoy you during your gathering (and they surely will).

Those particular "peace loving" beast-kin players, that always complain all the time how they don't want to be disturbed while grinding, will be THE FIRST ONES to go annoy demons who come to gather a few resources on Arboreus with limited grinding time frame available.

On the other hand, beast-kin and humans will have no travelling restrictions on Tartaros, no zones in which they can't venture, and no time limit. Just a few debuffs, and map notification after 1 hour has passed of them being there.

@therippyone there is no chance you are going to detonate 20 enemies "at once", like ever.

Perhaps consecutively, one after another, without dieing, and inside a specific time frame. That has a chance of happening (if you are really good AND in an area with a lots of traffic).

Area with a lots of traffic will also mean, people will defend, and help, so you will not generally have 1vs1 against all 20 of people, specially after the streak has started.

With enough players (members) you could organize yourself in 2 guilds (possibly name them very similar) and, even though you are "officially" designated as 2 guilds, work together as 1 guild.

You can have 2 towns, perhaps not too far from each other, and you would still use discord together, and work in game as one guild.

You would just need to have enough members to pull that off.

Demons will take over everything!
