I think there is a misconception about levelling speed and how players view progression in general in classic MMO's and tabletop RPG's. The misconception being that anything other than the progression speed in Embers is somehow modern when Embers is far slower even than classic Everquest. What...
I am not sure if you are aware but Ember's has had a ton of exposure on Youtube. Lazy Peon did a pretty favourable video on it which has over 200k views. It's hard to get more exposure than that but it has had almost zero impact on the population 3 months later.
The MMO ship only hangs around...
There are other MMO's that claim the same thing with audiences saying the same. People playing Shroud and Wurm say it is a spiritual successor to UO or has UO vibes. People playing Gorgon say it is like Asheron's Call. There are others available to play and in development claiming the same. You...
Hard? Who said it was hard? It's time consuming for some, but not hard. I still play P99 EQ where that kind of thing is much more time consuming. My point was about something completely different of which corpse recovery was just an example.
I was looking at the point of corpse/bag recovery itself. Embers Adrift is definitely more lenient in preventing a wipe. Assuming it is not a wipe, a character can be brought back into the fight without fighting your way to your corpse in EQ as well with a res and you also mitigate some XP loss...
Don't be fooled by the "a classic MMO is just not for you" stuff. Maybe try a classic EQ or AC server and you may find that a proper classic MMO experience is for you.
I think inventory space is one of a number of mechanics where the game poses a problem, but doesn't give you an answer to.
One of the main fundamentals of RPG's is character progression and any challenge to overcome generally involves your character journey.
In EA we see a number of challenges...
Stop kidding yourself. You could have worded the post in a much more civil way. It's not even as though the OP was an "oh my god the world is ending" scenario. It was an enquiry. I am sure many players here have played for as long, if not longer, and experienced similar things. I am not sure...
Easy to say that now. You could have just said that in your first response to the OP without all the curfuffle. Not as much fun for you though I guess.
So judging by Undone's post your were effectively arguing against a bug. What the OP was experiencing was not as intended which means the regen rate they were experiencing was not as intended. I imagine you would argue that the intended rate may still not fall in line with this arbitrary...
What you call giving in or converting could also be called looking at the situation and making balance changes based on what they see is happening within the game.
There is a difference between defending a design and just hijacking threads with a strong smegheadish air to your posts. Your...
I am afraid you will find that giving feedback here that falls outside of a very strict line drawn by a minority of players will net you very similar responses.
The irony is that the devs may have actually read your feedback, thought about it and even taken it onboard. Some players can't seem...
So a small % of the total slots which is a million miles away from where EA is. EA has level restriction for tiers but also the weight limit. It's far too restrictive. Having to put stuff from quests and drops in the bank because you can't wear them is just not a fun system.
What games are you refering to out of interest? All of the dozen or so MMO's I have installed let you wear a full set of armour within the level range/tier from level 1 assuming you can get it. So for example in EQ I can fill any slot I have a piece for at level 1. If someone gives me a full set...
Who said anything about "modern" QoL? What is suggested are systems that were the backbone of old school MMO's. I guess you can pick and choose MMO's to fit your argument.
On the topic of teleportation as an example. EQ and UO were both focused on their world. They are still 2 of the best MMO...
You mention old school high investment then say every other game. What games are you talking about?
Ultima Online let you teleport wherever you wanted. In EQ for much of my time playing, a druid goes around picking people up for groups and raids. Or people get a spirit of wolf. Or a wizards...
I don't understand the mind-set behind quality of life = copying every other MMO. We say we want MMO's to be how they used to be and yet systems that those very games introduced to MMO's are classed as dumbing down. I don't get it. Is it that we don't want MMO's to be classic and are looking for...
The key question to ask regarding retention is why are players bouncing off of the game? It's not content really as most are not reaching that point. An even bigger question is why are players who this game seems ideal for bouncing off of it? Lazy Peon's video will no doubt bring in some new...
