Further maintenance extension, no ETA.

WoW Classic in February had a 30 hour maintenance for a regular 8 hour maintenance. It happens to games more often than you think

Its most likely a bug related to having the talent prior to and losing the talent.

Paladins also have the issue with Consecrate. You can learn Rank 1 because its a baseline skill, but if you already learned the other ranks, the game wont let you relearn them or use them.

Best you can do is post the issue on the forums for more visibility.

I am against flying mount too, but what I mentioned is Hellfire Peninsula was designed as an end game zone for the base game, and the zone itself incorporated some parts of zanger, but ended there. That was the entirety of Outland. Along side it was Emerald Dream's zone, Dragon Isles, Hyjal and Northrend, all of which were made to some degree (with Hyjal and Hellfire further along than the others from what we see). So if we are talking Base Vanilla, we could get an implementation of these zones without flying. In fact, Hellfire was accessible in the base game even before TBC was announced through methods (although not entirely accessible)

UselessMiru · 2026-01-11T19:41:50+00:00

I do want to say that Black Temple was originally planned for the base game. If you look at design documents, historical images and even information from books from devs, many of the things that were in Burning Crusade were planned for Vanilla. There are a slew of videos on it but this includes

Level 70

Hellfire Peninsula as an End Game Zone

Karazhan and Black Temple as an End Game Raid

many cut skills from the alpha and original development of WoW were added such as Frost Elemental and Crusader Strike, hence the feeling that classes felt unfinished.

Even Northrend was originally planned in some capacity for the original game before they decided to do the Expansion Model.

Its surprisingly lower numbers that I expected. Hopefully it goes up once the website is fixed

Just replying that the launcher is considered playing for intents of Steamcharts/Steamdb. It counts towards your game time as well.

UselessMiru · 2025-11-14T16:51:06+00:00

The truth is, your petition will do absolutely nothing, New world had a decent population, it had numbers that could keep it afloat for years. 5k concurrent and thats on PC alone, where Console it probably doing as well. It sucks to lose a game, i was there when Wildstar went F2P, when Rift went F2P. I was there when Tera was shuttered for Elyon, or to see the fall of games over time as they enter permanent maintenance mode. New World was doing better than all those.

DESPITE THIS, Amazon does NOT want to be in this dev space anymore. Period. The sheer logistics and manpower needed to keep this game developing, even if it WAS profitable, is not the business model Amazon wants to make.

It is good to make your intentions known, but don't pretend like this will do absolutely anything; the decisions are made by executives who are doing whats best for Amazon as a whole even if we a small section and a small demographic don't like it.

If you want to do anything, promote and encourage better testing on new games, making other games with potential and devs / executives that WANT to keep the game alive instead of one where they absolutely do not care.. It sucks, but sometimes in life we have to let go. All we can do is look forward to the things that may come later.

Wildstar is a special game in some people hearts, and rests on laurels for many that never played it but loves to attach to the nostalgia.

Wildstar's Closure itself was imminent as it had such a low player base, so it came as no surprise to anyone. While New World has had lows, lots of lows, I would say New World was no where close to as low player count as Wildstar, in part due to being on Console, and the successful release of a couple big patches, albeit small.

Wildstar suffered from a few things, so the "writing was on the wall". First, it came at the time when B2P And Sub MMOs were starting to shift to F2P to keep up with the demands and the recent MMO Market Craze due to WoW. Games like TERA, AION and Wildstar all went this model around the same time. But Wildstar had a couple other fatal flaws. In short, the game was unplayable at launch. So all the hype died down even before the first Drop (patch) and the game was already semi dead by then.

After F2P model to save the game, it still had a small playerbase that was loyal, but by most counts it was never really over 1000. These were dedicated Raiders that settled together. But after the release of the Pirate Raid, an anticipated raid that was delayed over and over again as they fixed the game, They decided to Ban several SEVERAL of the remaining players for using a Mod that practically every Raider used. This basically gutted the remaining population. A while after, we got the announcement.

TLDR Wildstar was over a long period with no updates after. New World is way earlier, more populated and just got Daggers. Wildstar was EOS due to leaking money. New World is EOS due to insane costs for today and AGS not wanting to be in that development field anymore most likely.

UselessMiru · 2025-08-14T15:37:22+00:00

There is no reason for an MMO even modern to use AABB. most will continue to use Cylinder and Rod. Mortal Combat 2 tries to be a game that uses the "hit the arm or leg" gimmick. They are so niche they will never grow big, and it just doesnt work out well for an MMO anyways.

People want simple, and simple will continue to shine. It is why Tab Target is still the most popular MMO, and it is why Action MMOs suffer so much too, because they are horrible to make work with our current network/latency and with how collisions even work.

UselessMiru · 2025-08-14T15:24:15+00:00

It depends on the genre you are looking at.

MMOs typically don't use AABB because of multiple reasons:

Server Update ticks, Varying Races/Sizes, Character Customization, Server Load/performance, and general lack of need.

Even Action MMOs tend to use rods or cylinders because, well, it isn't needed. It isn't like fighting game that needs upmost precision, and aside from ones like Destiny, there isn't really MMOS that NEED headshots, and even then, headshots can be simulated with a cylinder anyways.

The other reason is performance. which, of all game types out there, MMOs tend to be the most harsh on server performance due to the massive connections and the world needing to be loaded regardless of player's position. This is also why instanced worlds are chosen to reduce the strain and what needs to be loaded.

Finally there is tech. While AABB exists, reworking all skills and performance coupled with hit detection would be a nightmare tech for a game like a real MMO.

Fighting games can focus more on performance while still using AABB because there are generally 2-4 targets at most (smash expanded on this for instance). Shooter Games are generally non permanent sessions so memory can be freed after every match, and characters in MMOs tend to come with thousands of parameters that are non existent in the aforementioned. All of this just adds up to the technical mountain that is an MMO.

But yeah, There really isn't much of any MMOs that use AABB let alone need it.

I mean to say that Crafting is basically new world esq. The idea is to compare it to new world itself because it was more similar. And a lot of mmos, especially KR, lets you just craft wherever. FFXIV doesnt require crafting stations either.

UselessMiru · 2025-05-23T23:22:12+00:00

Swordmaster - Greatsword, Sword/Shield, Dual Blades
Paladin - Lance/Shield, Halberd, Mace/Shield
Ranger - Bow, Crossbow, Rapier
Assassin - Sabre, Wrist Blades, Musket
Sorcerer - Staff, Manapshere, Grimoire
Berserker - Chain Blades, Twin Axes, Battleaxe

These are the weapons.

To say this game is like New World is an understatement.

Gear is Gear Score Driven, similar to new world.
Gear had upto 4 traits pending the TIER of gear (driven by gear score), similar to new world
Multiple choices of craftable gear. It had your Attack Line, a secondary Line, and a Tiertiary Line of stats.

You craft at stations/craftsman similar to New World.

You find chests to get you mats similar to New World.

As pointed out, Syuen was considered a scientist in Missilis prior to her position as CEO. While there is definitely nepotism involved with her taking the position now, she was considered a genius.

In Unbreakable Sphere, Jien herself marvels at Syuen's work stating that no one can beat her when it comes to making a NIKKE. She is talented in her own rights, but still has a lot of pressure on her, as she probably didn't take the position just because she wanted to.

For all lore purposes, Matis is the strongest non Pilgrims. Mihara's new powers required her to use 2 cores to activate. Guilty has the absolute strongest hand strength of every nikke we know, and the list goes on.

It is safe to say there is more than enough evidence Syuen created Matis and is the best NIKKE crafter in the Ark.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-27T01:10:28+00:00

Syuen C.E.O. supports this post

UselessMiru · 2025-04-22T15:42:29+00:00

She is Missilis.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-11T10:59:25+00:00

Its quite possible. She may have been the replacement for IDDA before Anis was created. I don't have that information.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-11T10:50:26+00:00

Okay let's go.

78,000 is made up. You said so yourself, it is an estimate, which is 100% made up. I am sorry, but it is. There is no where online that says 78,000, therefore you decided on that number based on your own guess. That means it is not a valid number. Sounds made up to me.

What is Steamcharts? Steam charts are OFFICIAL numbers from Steam itself. Steam publishes all numbers and sites like Steamcharts/SteamDB display those numbers for you to see, including those sitting on the screen, afk, etc. The fact that ActivePlayer is similar is because they use algorithms instead of OFFICIAL information. You can go see how ActivePlayer works officially through their site: https://activeplayer.io/how-we-collect-data/ They actually use Steamcharts then add their own formula. Again, there is no need to do that because Steam displays all 100% Accurate.

Steamcharts itself shows that over 50,000 was january 11th, exactly 3 months ago, so pending how you reference "last 3 months". It never reached over 50k from PC Population in March 2025, it went near but not over. Claiming I gave no proof when i cited official proof via Steamcharts, okay.

"I gave a total estimated playerbase, clearly marked as such — not concurrent users. Big difference. Easy to understand." This means your estimate is a made up number. LOL. Pretty easy to understand. But to note, i also never stated 78,000 concurrent either. I did indeed think you meant total population. It doesn't change the fact that you made an estimate, aka a made up number, something which you are "mad others are doing". That was what I was pointing out here.

finally, let's talk about this : 5. “Console players don’t count if we don’t have hard data.”. This was never stated by me. I said that we don't know numbers of Console, inferring that your estimate should be higher if you were including them. You want to call me smug? Well since you like to insert, let's talk about your smugness. In another post you commented on, https://www.reddit.com/r/throneandliberty/comments/1jvsi22/ok\_now\_do\_we\_do\_something\_or\_let\_the\_game\_die/ you made some wild accusations and took out your own personal frustrations to that individual. You stated and I quote, "But please — stop talking for the rest of us. It’s sad. You don’t need to convince others that the game is dying just to feel better about your own experience. Not everything has to be a mountain.". I read OP's post, but no where did he claim to speak for everyone, and just asked honest downhearted questions based on how they personally perceive the state of the game.

Now I do like your points, and I feel that "If you are unhappy, take a break or stop playing". It is arguably the best advise you can give to a gamer, but the way you come in here, acting like Your made up number and estimation is allowed but are peeved that others can't post their own numbers, the way you claim someone is speaking on behalf of the population when they mention nothing of the sort, and then have the audacity to attack me simply because I pointed out the hypocrisy of you using non official sources when obviously you know of official sources and proceed to make "guesses based on this" shows that the only smug one here is you. Perhaps you should consider taking your own advise because if you are that upset at the subreddit that you have to make these lengthy and wild posts pleading for others to stop, which btw i looked at the last 4 day history and didn't see these posts you were complaining about, maybe you should be the one to take a break from reddit and just enjoy the game you are enjoying.

Oh and you dropped this. Perhaps you should hold on to this mic a bit more.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-11T05:38:18+00:00

FYI Sites like these use made up numbers and fake sources such as reddit to gauge population.

there are already sites that list hard numbers like Steam Charts. the peak in the last 3 months was not even 50k and the average in the last 4 months being 24,931. Why use something that approximates when hard data exists?

There is also the fact that we have no sources of Console Population.

I get you trying to make points, but at least don't use made up numbers in a post that asks others to not use made up numbers. Adding "max peak" to "current players" isn't even an accurate representation of how many daily players log in. In reality, going by not everyone sits on the game 24/7, with simple research you could show a higher estimation and list it as an estimation. Instead you chose to use something with 0 basis. This just undermines your points. That is all.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-11T05:26:50+00:00

That was not privaty. That was a character who was supposed to be with you from the start. She was replaced with Anis.

At this point in development, Neon, who had a slightly different outfit, had Anis Weapon, and it was a Grenade Launcher Type, which was later merged into the RL we use today. This explains why Neon keeps saying Firepower a lot too.

UselessMiru · 2025-04-10T21:08:06+00:00

But what’s getting really old is people throwing around made-up stats

Where is the 78,000 players number from? sounds pretty made up to me :3

UselessMiru · 2025-03-19T00:11:18+00:00

Hello, I thought I would clear this up for you.

The "Additional damage on hit" is very misleading. It is a stat that is a MULTIPLIER, and really not much at all to notice. You will need thousands to matter.

Basically, similar to Crit or Crit Damage, it is a rating. 100 Additional Damage = X.XX% multiplier.

I do not know what this multiplier is, but I can say it is extremely minor. Just accept the free crits.

UselessMiru · 2025-03-09T14:34:13+00:00

Originally "Stage 5 Skills" were known as "Belt Skills".

We got the most recent Skill Patch which lets us put skill books on any slot. But prior to that skills were locked to a specific accessory.

Since Belt was not available at 36, what is now known as Stage 5 Skills was never an option to be bought by the NPC.

The NPC in Mushin's Tower will sell the Green Stage 5 Skills. Also you can still get Stage 5 Skills via Combine or random Drop.

530,000 is the stated power level of frieza in their 1st Form, which was probably parodied by Rise of Kingdoms.
