@Prometheus Honestly, I've been waiting for a game like this since Albion Online flopped.

I'm very excited for a game that gives players FREEDOM. Freedom to be evil, to be good, to steal, to adventure... I want to go "Off the tracks", so to say. I don't want to ride the carousel.

Now.. I'm tight with my money. I don't want to give it away easily.

Two things worry me:

#1 - The handling of the Black Bull/Finland situation, and an obvious cheater/admitted hacker not being dealt with swiftly. It's not even him or his guild per se, but the fact that someone can admit to hacking, and cheating a system, and not instantly be dealt with is unforgiveable. These games don't survive when people are allowed to hack. Banning him and his guild should have been your immediate instinct, and the fact that it's not makes me very hesitant to trust the company with my money. It's the reason I can't really play modern Everquest right now, because the developers have decided that the money they earn from the percentage of botters/cheaters outweighs the people who are bothered (disgusted) by the botters/cheaters. (Basically, more people are botting/cheating, than are actually bothered by the botters/cheaters enough to quit) Overwatch (Blizzard) has taken the exact opposite approach, and bans EVERYONE they suspect of hacking, and sorts the details out at a later date. This keeps the integrity of their game, which is very important.

To put this in a better context, Blizzard is still launching lawsuits and administering ban waves in Diablo 2. Diablo 2 released June 29th, 2000. (Happy birthday D2!)

#2 - I haven't seen enough concrete details about PvP. I want to know more. I'm a PvP player, seduce me with what your offering. I already think I like it, but I want more.

Give this man a pre alpha key.

@gothix said in Why MMO if you like to Solo?:

Group play doesn't (and shouldn't) be about grouping with randoms.

It should be about finding a nice like minded people, that share your play style and virtues, and then making a guild with them. This way you don't depend on "randoms", but rather group up with trusted people, that you know you like, for various adventures.

I agree. I feel like the best way to do this, is to create challenging content. Even in leveling, but particularly in leveling dungeons. Make it so that people should look for help. It creates a natural "I need you" environment which is missing from modern MMO's.

You can be an ass to people in modern MMO's, because you can just replace them, or more likely - requeu and never see them again.

Tons of videos of eXploited online

Possibly the worst group of memers on the interwebs. Beating kids up at internet cafes, posting naked pictures of gamer girls from other clans, stealing peoples homeplots.

Just generally a bad group of people.

And I love playing with them.

In World of Warcraft, shields are pretty much additional armor pieces, that can lessen your chance to be critically struck. (There's more to it for any fellow hardcore WoW nerds, but that's the bare bones without the math)

But in a game like Vermintide, shields are able to completely avoid damage.

I would like to see skill-based shields, that you have to manually block with, or at least can fully block attacks from a particular direction. I don't want to see shields become just another stat-stick.

What do you think?

The faction system shouldn't impact combat mechanics at all.

Either have friendly fire, or don't.

Having one side with friendly fire, and one without is beyond idiotic, even on paper. In practice it will be a mess.

Preferably, turn friendly fire on for everyone. If you shoot your friend in the back by accident (or on purpose), you SHOULD take a hit to your karma. Aim better, scrub.

@sparky eXploited leads from the front! First in, last out!

I know it's still early, but I will say this...

If they keep Demons as "FFA PvP", you're going to have a lot of people re-rolling.

30 percent of the population is not about that life. I promise you.

@gothix Not all cultures are equal.

I don't know enough about Star Trek, particularly the Klingons, but if the Klingons wanted to practice human sacrifice, child-rape, murder, etc.. we'd all agree that was not moral behavior.

Morality is objective. It takes religion to force people to make certain things that are immoral seem moral.

I think the main appeal of Demons for eXploited is the fact that we can kill other demons. No one is safe.

So, in typical fasion, it will be eXploited vs the entire game. The way it should be.

If this sort of mentality appeals to you, you might be one of us.

I'll be streaming it, if you wouldn't mind adding me to the list

People were actually talking about Diablo 4 being announced, and it being a Diablo isometric MMO, similar to Fractured or Torchlight Frontiers.

I was hyped.

Then, they announced a mobile game.

SMH - can't fix whatever is wrong at that company.

This is what they get when they promote the "You think you want it, but you don't" guy to President. Youtube that.

What a joke.

Dark Age of Camelot had an awesome system where you had the option to dye, or enamel your armor different colors, but also place your guilds logo on your shield, or cloak.

To me, this was always cooler than WoWs tabard system. But I think the tabard is a nice option if you have the other things as well.

Trust me when I say there is nothing cooler than seeing your guild getting ready for a battle or a raid, and everyone has their matching color schemes and insignia.

Seems like a great way to customize your characters appearance! I support this.

You could have cash shop skins for different tails, as well.

Humans with tails? I don’t think so.

Nah. They are hyping the sh*t out of it for Blizzcon next week, and they will have a playable demo.

Brack (the new pres) says he deeply regrets the comments he made about it, and wants to deliver the best classic experience possible.

Anyone here excited for it?

Our Fractured guild is going to start there while we wait for this game to be released.

We are going to be playing Classic WoW while we wait for Fractured to release.

If you're interested in playing alongside us, hit me up on our discord or on our website.

The #2 overall guild, and the #1 ranked Demon guild will be adventuring into Classic World of Warcraft, to stay busy while waiting for Fractured.

While there, we're going to get some legendary weapons, high warlord titles, scarab lord, slay Kel'Thuzad... you know, no big deal.

We're recruiting.
