this brings up a good point.

if astroids were used for player and guild housing then it could be possible to move said astroids so that a community could be started.

Imagine a guild with 50 members all connected so that they can visit each other!

@thegiorgio

yep do search for translation on the forums, should be a post asking for them.

Why the sub model isn't viable now? What changed? Sure you have the argument "in the past 5 years only one game..." but you are not explaining as to why there was a change.

actually i did have a guess and already posted it maybe you glanced over it. those that were paying for the sub, at the time, were late teens to early twenty year olds. they are now in their upper thirties and forties. There was an outcry by the public that claimed 'they didn't want to pay every month for a game' because they were use to buying NES, Genesis, Dreamcast games with a one off purchase. Asian games started to cross the oceans which brought in a new model, free to play. little did the players know they had hard p2w walls that couldn't be overcome by play time. western developers and publishers looked into those games and saw the income potential and decided to try a version of that. I'm wanting to say LoL was one of the first western/eu developed f2p games, whose success overturned the 'subscription' model.

I believe the sub model came out because developers wanted an income after the initial purchase of the game. IE consoles were 1 off game purchases at the time. publishers wanted constant income and rental model was used.

warframe isn't p2w even if it looks like. 1 there's no pvp. 2 there's a cap with level. 3 there are non-prime weapons that perform better than prime weapons. the prime frames look better. if you played warframe for a few months you'd see how it isn't p2w. I read about it during their KS and ignored it because 'p2w' but played it after it went f2p (they were a sub, btw) and realized it wasn't.

they made 58m in 2016 which isn't bad for a sub game turned f2p. they arent doing too bad for population either. it's a pretty niche game and games aren't really a popularity contest.

if you really want to toss around sizes then LoL would top any game that's existed. most played and highest income. it alone boost about 32m accounts, 4.2m daily players, 1.3m concurrent players. And that was back in 2011, it increased through 2014 then had estimates since then. WoW was the most popular back in the Wrath era and blizzard said 15m accounts existed then.

just rememeber if there was a release date it would be posted on twitter, forums, new section, reddit, and video game websites (like mmorpg.com) would have a press release about it.

Fractured already planned sieges.

read the spotlights! very good information there.

@belwolff

right now it'll be 1 server. when alpha or beta comes along we'll know if they open others. They did mention it would depend on the lag from eu/uk to us.

Seeing a staff with good animation would be awesome.

i'd love to see a staff be used for the casting.

@finland

movies are watched in a 2d screen but we do have 3d options for them.

for VR DS could put the UI in the 3d space as well as trees, towers and anything clipping through the camera to give it a feeling of walking through the world.

@vezin

aww yeeeesss!

@finland

no it isn't. MOVIES are offered in 3d! it can be done it's a question IF the developers WANT to do it.

@gofrit

usually you have to enable a log but producing numbers outside of testing is pretty bad. you'll have groups or guilds that requires specific builds, you'll have people that will be shunned because they aren't using said builds.

there are plenty of ideas, just have to search for them.

@nelchael

and it's magic always works as an explanation when you can't explain things in a game. it's not the answer you are specifically looking for but it does work.

@muker said in Has VR support been looked into?:

@morgalathan -The game will not be on Android and ISO (№5)
I doubt it. And who did for MMO VR?
And with this isometry it makes no sense to do VR

first the platform wasn't asked.
second if they wanted to do VR they could but it wouldn't be a stand up and move around version.

@nelchael

they showed them walking through it first then explained it later.

@fibs

I can see you have no clue how to RP which is how the rest of are viewing this from.

I can imagine me looking at a wall and watching people pass through it. I would believe there's something special there and that it's protected with magic or some science that prevents me from walking through it. I can imagine there would be a spell or method to allow me to enter that space. I can imagine some people could cast an invisibility on themselves and/or group so that they could pass through without others seeing them.

In Stargate there was a race that lived on their own planet. eventually SG1 found the planet and chatted with the locals. SG1 found out they were 700 years old (odd because that would assume their date length was the same as ours) and they were highly intelligent well beyond our own. in some episodes later the people that could walk through walls (mentioned in a previous comment) wanted to meet the 700 year old race and with the iris closed one of the 700yo members came through the door. to us the iris was solid and nothing could pass through it. to the other race it was no different than it being open.

this is why i asked if you had an imagination.

@gofrit

problem with combat logs is people will min-max the best build for activities. this can stop growth. it also performs many read/writes to my SSD which i don't appreciate.

@vespinesoul said in Trying to figure it out:

So what system is this gonna be for? I can’t find it anywhere.

it's posted on the FAQ #5

But also are there any games out there we can compare it too? I love MMOs and am getting pretty excited for this one!

any mmo style isometric game. Ultima Online, Path of Exile, Diablo (series) [even though PoE and D isn't an mmo it'll be similar in a sense].

@fibs

you have no imagination do you.

@mimi

oh, what if schools had bard styles built in.

light could have some restoration
water could have some heal over time or cleanse
fire could be moral or heat vs cold damage
etc.
