I told you that race mixing crap is garbage. lul Some people don't want to be a spotted fucking turd monster. I have no idea what a good build is either now but I have a feeling that it's not DW. I've heard that mounted archery is best for pvp and some pve but not sure how true that is.

I saw something about mounted archers. I went with Kallard/Khurite and Tindramene/Sarduccan for a "standard human" build. I also went with 33-35 Str/Dex/Con and left Psy/Int at 25. I'm assuming it's for wizardry, and I plan on doing as little casting as possible.
Did the tutorial. It was straightforward and gave me just enough information without having to belittle me or hold my hand. I'm sure it gets more complex, but from what I've seen thus far, nothing that cannot be figured out. In short, my first impression is "they took UO and made a FPS freeshard from it".

Well it is a UO inspired game and the game is really basic, especially combat. I always built my character around thieving.

How is the lag?

Seems okay so far, but I wouldn't recommend swimming.

That's a good thing than and lul. In that dev video that I wached the dev was talking about just getting around to fixing certain things, things that I remember were broken back at release. Kind of amazing that they've almost done fuck all the whole time and now are just fixing things, adding in stuff, I remember that continent was suppose to come in shortly after release too.

There are some shitty terrain features, like going under the ground and through walls and buildings not actually touching the ground.
I can forgive it, though, 'cause it has that unfinished, shitty UO-like charm. And also because I got nothing else to sink massive amounts of time into.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that stuff is still like that after so long but yea nothing really can be done about it. Watch out what you do in building/dungeon area/s that have multiple floors stacked, or rooms side by side, you can pull rooms of enemies from far away through the walls. Be prepared to run if that happens.

I forgot to mention that in the video that I watched they were talking about how the game will get switched over to a dynamic housing system. Meaning you should be able to put down houses similar to how it was in UO. Right now houses are only buildable in predefined static locations.

I played it last night and thought about it in my freetime today. Only played for like 3 hours and drowned 2-3 times. It reminded me a lot of UO.
Shitty part is that it feels like a beta or a freeshard. I highly doubt this will be a longterm investment, but if it's potentially as fun as I think it might be - with the right folks - I could definitely lose myself in it until the next big thing.

Just had some Brit GY moments in Tindrem. But now I'm just getting two-shotted for murder counts so I'm taking a breather until they leave. Some newbtips:
-Don't go swimming. You can't yet. You'll be carrying too much the first time you jump into water that you'll sink like a rock and drown. Spent 20-30 minutes last night drowning over and over to get my stuff.
-There is a bit of lag, it seems, but I can't tell how bad it is.
-Spears seem to be the go-to weapon for people, from what I've seen. Got range and power it looks like. Haven't seen any archers, yet, at least not in action.
-Crafting seems pretty fucking cool. Tanning human flesh for your weapon grip? If that's possible - and it seems like it is - that's neato.
-Bank all your shit always.
-Search the town for urns.
-Add me. "BrandonV" in game.

It got stealing? Full loot? Open pvp?

Post by dewderonomy on Aug 1, 2015 19:41:06 GMT
All of it, but Stealing only if you're subscribed to cut down on F2P griefers.

The F2P restrictions go way deeper than just restricting Pickpocketing, almost to the point that it gimps your character. As I cannot find anything official on the main shit pile website, try looking up Mortal Online F2P restrictions and start reading.

Post by dewderonomy on Aug 2, 2015 1:23:18 GMT
Skills are limited to 60 for F2P, but not attributes/stats.
Granted, having your skills limited like that is pretty rough, but that's the only limitation I'm seeing thus far outside of housing restrictions (gotta' sub to pay upkeep on a house).
That said, anyone else planning on playing? I've met a few people but I've already hit 60 in most of my skills. I'm getting to the point of considering subbing, myself, if I enjoy myself further.

I have game and client patched, however the activation E-mail is either glacially slow or isn't coming through to me.
