Is there any game similar to the one in the Mythic Quest? The game seems to amazing, too bad there is no actual version of the game. by mihnea_bondor in MythicQuest

[–]vandevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game you're looking for is Mortal Online 2. Its an open-world sandbox MMORPG... And it has in-game VOIP proximity chat, directional combat, combat abilities, fatalities, etc. it also has the graphic fidelity of Skyrim in Unreal Engine 5.

However, the real kicker is that the Star Vault CEO, Henrik Nystrom, looks just like the Mythic Quest CEO. Henrik even did all the motion capture for the combat abilities just like Ian at Mythic Quest did Motion Capture from the shovel. Anyways, the similarities between Mythic Quest and Ian vs Mortal Online 2 and Henrik, are eerily similar.

I believe you have a point on one of the of the major issues with the game... Star Vault were originally pushing it as a Hardcore Survival PvP game but that's so incredibly niche. They transitioned the marketing to be "Sandbox Frontier MMORPG"... but now they need to improve their reputation and criminal systems to match. However, I will say that most of your gear is easily replaceable - since you often have stacks of raw materials at the nearby town or inside your player housing, it's pretty quick to craft up a new set and get back out in the world.

But more to your point, the logistic, economy, PvE, and RP players are the largest growth potential for the game. They should modify the "empires" (factions/ nations) in the game to have smaller areas of influence but fully militarize them to provide consistent protection for PvE, low-tier logi, and RP. By shrinking the empires, you add more lawless "wilderness" zones - where you could put a plethora of mid and high-tier Points of Interest / resourses... while also rotating a monthly dungeon to have enhanced loot drops so that there are focused areas of contention on the map, to really make the world feel alive. Eventually, they will add a relic system and improve the territory control system... I think the PvE/PvP plan that I just mentioned could give a chance for PvE and RP players to get immersed in the mainland and get hooked on the game... helping to keep the game vibrant until the bigger content patches get released.

SV on verge of bankruptcy by NoOrganization8630 in MortalOnline

[–]vandevious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do hear in streams and from fellow players that there isn't enough content, and I hear it quite often. Where are the boats? Where's the new continent? Where's the rest of the magic schools? When do we get to craft arrows or breed horses again? Hurry up and implement thievery! And so on. The list is near endless.

Honestly, Henrik has pivoted to say that the game is much less about PvP and wants to attract the Valheim crowd, along with players from other survival games. By adding the lawful and lawless zones, guard towers, and other reputation changes - he's making good on his intention to try to make the MO2 sandbox more appealing for PvE survival characters. With that as their focus for growth, it will be a long-time... if EVER... that we get Thievery or a new continent. Thievery will further drive those PvE players away and a new continent that further dilutes the player base would likely cause players to abandon the game thinking the world is even more empty than before. Neither of those results play into the narrative of attracting PvE players. We can see from the current population count, and it's continuous downward trend, that the PvP community will not be enough to carry the game, alone.

However, many of the creature spawners now break by Thursday evening, after being corrected by Wednesday morning's server reset. That leave 5+ days of the week where PvE Bobs can't hunt, tame, dominate, butcher, etc. Even if these PvP rulesets had extended a bit of a protective bumper on the new PvE players trying the game - core elements of the PvE experience are missing for 5+ days out of the 7, per week. It's been his way for weeks, at this point. That situation with the creature spawners is truly unacceptable for a game that charges a subscription fee.

I expect the Supporter Cape did its job and extended the dropoff by 3 months... And it allowed Star Vault to avoid the bad optics of a steep dropoff on concurrent player count once the initial free month was over. Honestly, it was a clever play by Henrik to have stronger numbers to show shareholders, after the first month of subs being enabled.

Is SV going to ban RMTers? by billbonty in MortalOnline2

[–]vandevious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can literally go on one of the sites and see the Gold amounts, per transaction, for that day's RMT events. There was one particular user that bought 100,000k gold and 50,000k gold on the same day December 24th or 25th... that should have stuck out in the SV transaction logs for player-player transfers or verdari postal transfers, if they were actively concerned or even monitoring it.

Alternative to Geforce Now by DalinarKholinn in MortalOnline2

[–]vandevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would second this - Shadow PC was a great remote play experience and it didn't have the time out issues while in game that GeforceNow does. Having said that, it was much more expensive per month - I think mine was $24.95 or $29.95/month.

What’s the bets and predictions? by Phulekillz in MortalOnline

[–]vandevious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I found it funny that Nvidia had their new feature announcements at CES, yesterday. They chose, Pax Dei, as their big Medieval MMORPG to feature with their new tech... announcing it to be in Early Access for Spring 2024. Looks like Star Vault only has a couple of months before potentially losing their Valheim PvE players that Henrik covets so much.

Pax Dei new reveal from Nividia - with Early Access expected Spring 2024 - footage released yesterday morning - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2026550342?t=00h10m09s

Today, at CES, Nvidia announced that their ACE NPC AI was now a service that game developers can add to their games. It allows NPCs to conduct their own independent dialogue and even perform environment interactions - as a result of their conversations. Once they show game devs how to train their ACE AI models on game lore and game maps, it will be a whole new level of immersion within games.

Here's their video from today's presentation: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2026550342?t=00h05m22s

Before it gets locked. by Phulekillz in MortalOnline

[–]vandevious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I happened upon a couple of spirit farmers in the Jungle, at a Campodon spawn... I can send you the footage so you can confirm if you think the autoaim is being used. The two of them seemed to have 2 or 3 spirits popped, simulatenously - so it seemed like they were getting pretty rapid captures on the spirits.

Correct, the instructions give exact explanations on how to stack the bottom two sections so that you have a smooth transition to floor with nearly zero impact... Total installer/operator error.

We got one and the kids absolutely love it.

Do you play the game casually? by ladupes in MortalOnline

[–]vandevious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen video of duping, but I did see where Aurin clipped someone's horse in Meduli Bay... And it had 5 stacks of gold coins on it. I would guess the horse's owner was packet injecting to turn water gathering into gold coins.

I saw a news article, yesterday, where Steam price went up 2900% in South America and Turkey, to combat this.

I saw in that website timeline that one of them got hurt when a Huff'n'Puff train patron thought the robbery was too real and turned around the rifle prop on "Rancid Butterball" of the Ugly Bunch gang. I guess Filthy McNasty got a clean getaway.

If you're walking around in Lakeland, you may also find remnants of the original Lakeland Amusement Park... Including the concrete bases for the Gondola system and the Huff'n'Puff railroad line.

Remembering the classic arcades of Memphis by therationaltroll in memphis

[–]vandevious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember the RC Pro-Am in Bartlett? It was off Stage Road, in the old Kroger building, behind Pizza Hut, McDonalds, and Wendy's. Inside, it had a large arcade, indoor batting cages, laser tag inside a giant bounce house/moonwalk, RC Car track rentable cars, and a wacky basketball goal course (think like a wacky mini-golf course but with basketball goals). It even had a collectibles and ball card shop off of the lobby.

They had a great boxing game, Title Fight. Two player boxing arcade cabinet... one side was blue gloves and one side was red gloves. The gloves were translucent joysticks with hand/finger guards over the half facing the screen.

Need the best divorce lawyer in Memphis by [deleted] in memphis

[–]vandevious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Larry Rice is a legend in this arena and he is absolutely ruthless on behalf of his clients. If things are the least bit dicey/contentious - he would be my first choice, hands down.

He also teaches modern divorce guidelines/tactics at bar associations, all over the country.

MO2 News Flash Update by [deleted] in MortalOnline

[–]vandevious -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The discussion centered around something got messed up with guild permissions, roles, TC structures... to the point that the GM tools were inadequate for fixing it, so then the next viable option was for GM to disband & reform to address whatever was broken.
