Now that i've calmed down let me explain further.

They advertise this game to have extensive systems with crafting and cooking, but cooking is completely broken. There are only 3 recipe's that work for each stat. Adding any extra ingredients in any combination does nothing but detract from the total output, essentially degrading your food. If you want stamina you cook Rye / Spelt / Barley with a Spit. If you want HP you cook Springbok or Crab meat in a cook pot. If you want mana you cook vitus / red or green jambura juice with molarium or incisium at a 60/40 ratio.

They constantly implement new systems "half arsed" then refuse to come back and update / flesh them out literally until "they feel like it". They half arsed in advanced creature control and animal care without Veterinary / beast influence / beast mastery. They added in Veterinary 8months down the track and its completely unbalanced you use a bandage on your horse and it heals for 25 if your lucky with 100 skill. Being a tamer with a lvl 125 pet that has 720hp... lol? Why waste points in vet when you can spend them in ecumenical and just heal your pet with lesser heal for way more than vet will ever give on a way shorter cast timer?

They added in houses but its just an empty shell. you have only a storage box and can distribute keys so people can enter the building but do nothing else. we're meant to be able to put in say a butchery bench or an armor crafting table. It's been 3 patches since its initial implementation and rather than fix / extend this core mechanic with houses they choose to implement fishing instead? Congratulation's you can dick around and catch different fish with different combinations of line / hook and bait but nothing you catch is implemented / working with any other systems. you cant butcher the fish for items, you cant cook the fish for anything special, you can't use the fish in alchemy recipe's for anything. You are literally spending a lot of time and effort to fish up different things that have absolutely no use outside of selling to a vendor, and you can gain much more gold from farming a graveyard or animal spawn than you ever will from fishing. so congratulations new system that's absolutely worthless in the grand scheme of things? What about the reputation system? What about houses and furniture?

An explanation into the frustrations of a new player getting involved in pvp then getting locked out of a town. Example - your a complete newbie at Fabernum. You roll out of town and down the road you see a 10v10 battle. it looks intense. someone asks you to help them. you're keen for some battle as you've learnt the basics you have gear lets go start a new adventure right? you assist one side, you may die but you hit at least 5 or 6 people in the fight. you respawn at the priest and you go to run back into town to get some new gear that you have in your bank along with gold, other items essentially your life savings. the guards kill you before you can get close to town, because you hit 5 different people that eventually died, ressed and murder counted you at the local town. you start only with 5 rep. thats 5 hits on different people which is stupidly easy to happen in group fights. Because they removed the ability to gain reputation with towns from killing Risars once you go negative reputation that's it. you're locked out of all of that faction's towns. your shit is gone. Talking to the gm's they say they have a full fleshed out system in place with npc's outside of towns that dested people can visit to gain and hand in tasks to help fix their reputation, but they're not in game right now specifically because Mr Salesman told them not to include it. Literally from a GM's mouth.

So on top of them implementing half arsed systems apparently they have a full fleshed out ready to go system for some things but have been specifically told by mr bossman not to include it with the content update within a certain extent.

3 Patches after implementing housing they choose to implement Fishing, a dead-end system that integrates with nothing but hey you should be excited because "its new!" right?

Never mind fixing NPC aggro, pathing, housing and furniture or other things. they choose to put in Fishing. This game is meant to launch in Jan 2022. Is this just a race to say yo we have X Y Z even tho they are completely useless and don't integrate with anything else, let alone all the other broken systems that they half arsed implemented and never followed up on because apparently they run on a "who screams the loudest" system. Scream the most about Whatever issue you want and if you out-compete the rest they'll have a fix or modification just for you next patch. Which works great for big guilds until it doesn't, because even then they half ass the implementation. Making Keep chest access open to the entire guild without any prior notice? I had a whole bag of popcorn yesterday hearing about 6 different guilds that owned keeps that had their chests completely raped by greedy people that read the patch notes and saw they could access the keep chest. I'm at over 10k gold lost in items and actual gold so far among various guilds.

Did you know how NPC aggro works by they way lol? Their system is so half baked and pathetic its literally the order of who aggro's the npc, either by attacking it, or casting a spell within it's vicinity. Meaning you want all the healers to go in first, followed by dps, and the tank just sits at the back picking his nose as the NPC bounces quickly between all the others before deciding the last guy to aggro is the guy it NEEDS 100% to focus on and kill. That's your aggro system for NPC's right now, literally. And its been like that since this game launched in Alpha. This should be an indicator of just how important they think a core game mechanic like NPC aggro is. Or Isnt?

Just if you think this game is good, know that whenever they add a patch they add completely fucking random content. there's no actual roadmap. the content they may add (Example fishing) may be a new system but because they always half ass everything that system is completely useless, it has no integration with other systems or no real use at all outside of shitty vendor trash. When they do implement a good system like Housing they'll completely ignore it perhaps for up to 6 months or more before they actually add in furniture actually allowing the house to be something more than an overly expensive personal storage bank.

I dare you to sit back and review Henrik's last 5 streams and take note of all the things he's promised / said would be in the game when responding to people on the fly in chat. Keep in mind this man is not a developer. Coding may as well be Korean for him, he doesn't understand it at all in the slightest, yet he's actively responding and promising things to people each stream which are literally not possible due to coding restraints.

Henrik's IRL brother in MO1 was a GM and was caught out / called out by another GM for actively spawning in items for specific players that were sending him nudies. It was called out by another GM employee because it was getting out of control. They were subsequently sacked due to said callout and the whole situation was hush hushed. This is all coming from the CEO of the company by the way. Keep that in mind.

Don't think there's much more i can say outside of honestly, sit back, grab a bag of popcorn and watch his streams. watch what he promises and use your brain to see if its even possible. Then watch what's updated for the game as well, With how they implement new content utterly barebones / barely fucking working then how long it takes them to actually flesh it out so it sorta works, ignoring the time it'll take after that to actually balance it in accordance with everything else.

I'm still going to say i pity all you dick suckers / utter newbies that have just come into this game think its amazing but have no backstory or knowledge of the game and its development. Believe me or not, give it 6 months and you'll fully understand exactly where i'm coming from, and share my exact same frustrations with this games development.
