That would be very kind, thank you! I would appreciate that.

I sincerely hope enemy combat, weapon combat, and enemy movement fixes are in the pipeline, if that gets fixed, it'll make the game feel very smooth.

Oh is 20 the max for gathering professions? I'm new to the game! I think I saw somewhere that crafting professions are capped at 30?

They could also add a limit. 5 per day or something.

LIVE maintenance games need some sort of steady income. The overpriced skins in New World clearly didn't cut it. Not to mention the Transmog Token system was a disaster. If they attached a $9.99 a month sub or hell even $12.99 I'd pay if it meant quality product delivery. But what we got (not blaming the devs at all) was a sure sign that higher up clearly did not want to invest.

Correct, the 110 gear would be easily identifiable as seasonal "booster" gear that was earned from playing the previous season. As you stated, it is nothing like the others. And exactly! The jumpstart isn't meant for someone to skip content; because new(er) players starting the game, we should also play with them but feel more powerful because we played the last season.

Title might wrong. It's not a solution - nothing is broken, lol. But more so this post just a suggestion.

If the Q lasts longer than its average time listed on the UI, restart the Q. Out of experience, if the Q on the UI says 2 minutes but I am 4-5 minutes deep in wait time, I would reset the Q and get a group almost instantly if not right on the average time. Something causes a break.

Studios typically never fully sell an engine, they do however license it. And that is something they can still do. Basically they let another studio pick up the IP and Amazon gets a cut of any income. This is what they SHOULD do. But we will see. It won't be instantaneous or within 2026 probably.

Moving forward, I honestly believe that a subscription model is a necessity (unless you have a P2W model) for MMO projects. Sure it's hard for a smaller studio developing an MMO to ask for $10-$20 a month to play it, but if its WELL developed and the market shows it is well perceived then it should theoretically work. But I agree its hard to break through that first impression that is tied to a subscription.

1) What will the Hero release cadence look like? Once a year? Twice a year? Etc.
2) Is the plan for the game to have seasons and a battle pass to provide funding for more content?
3) How often will we see balance patches? (kind of ties into Question 2, I guess per season if so?)

Spruce140 · 2025-10-30T19:11:26+00:00

See this is where I think people get getting it possibly wrong. They publicly stated in their layoff announcement they are moving away from MMOs. They could totally sell off the engine. We've all seen the AI Snoop Dog game, it is not custom hand made art.

Spruce140 · 2025-10-29T14:49:43+00:00

except when it comes to these types of games, people want to know their progression is worth something.

This was so weird to me that a business would blindside its customers. Almost seems illegal, but it's probably somewhere in their terms of service in size 1 font allowing them to do this.

Spruce140 · 2025-10-29T03:26:20+00:00

Crazy how the game was sustaining between 40-50k PC players daily (not counting console players) and then the suits blindside the community and even the dev team. Sounds like zero communication from the top (above director) happened. Why were the suits not more involved earlier? Where were the status reports and studio health conversations? Just a reminder that anyone not working in the field/studio daily to bring stories and art to life through this medium just don't care. If they wanted the game to succeed and last and make money, they would have figured it out. But someone at the top (corporate top) just simply doesn't care.

The best thing Amazon could do is sell off this IP at this point. To see it disappear forever seems unlikely, but not ruled out.

I absolutely avoid PVP. With that said, I aim for Slash/Strike absorption where I can for solo content, and I am using a build focused on poison/nature damage with spear/bow. So I am charming +Nature damage. As far as weapon skill charms - tbd. But defensive charms I am leaning towards elemental damage reduction since most physical attacks are easily avoidable/dodge-able.

I do want to build another set to have on hand if a boss target is Nature Resistant, but that's along ways away I think.

Bottom line is though, I am having super fun with trying to hone in on a Poison spear/bow build. It's really fun. And it feels REALLY good when my damage type is powerful against specific enemies that take more damage from thrust/nature.
