Also I can only pretend to hate KMMO's since they seem to be the only ones I'm interested in as of late.


This guy goes in depth with housing, lot more on his channel.

I hope there is an alpha buy in so that I can laugh at the people stupid enough to buy in to a KMMO alpha all over again.

Yeah, it would be easier to just quit the genre if I was so worried about "the state of the game" a month in and ended up skipping launch because of it. poo poo, if we did that, we'd never end up playing any.

New videos. First one is an overview of the games world.

The size is pretty impressive. We know that the markets are based on regions and not global and that materials can be more common in some areas than others so it would be interesting to see how local markets shape up given the size of the world and the limited player weight capacity. Apparently you can send NPCs to cart mats you own to other markets or you can do it yourself but run the risk of getting attacked by player bandits.

Second video is about some of the mini games in it. Looks like you can milk cows, grab sheep, clean chimneys, be the pied piper (Sorry bob, just rats not children), and blow up rocks among other things.

I often wait to start playing games for the reasons you are talking about. However playing at launch isn't about racing other players. It is about sharing the first time experience playing a game with your friends who are also going through it for their first time too. I think it's okay to not place much value in that but a lot of people do.

Its almost required for certain game because if someone miss the first wave of players then leveling is a lonely experience with no one around. Lucky games are starting to get into the megaserver concept so that areas are always populated (especially low level areas) so I feel like the rush to be with the wave is not really that big deal any more.

Archeage was my first experience with collision detection in an MMO and after experiencing it I really don't see the appeal unless you're a griefer. Sad to see it's going to be in this game as well.

Exp and/or partial item loss at death. Potentially dropping all equipment that is not soulbound.

Dungeons will be not be instanced.

No instant teleportation or flying.

Collision detection, body blocking for all NPC's and PC's

I could be mistaken but I believe some of that information is old and has changed since the last closed beta or so. it is not that strict anymore.

Having it be after level 30 is even worse, to be honest. It's that much more time to get invested in your character before someone who poopsocked ruins you, and as recent MMOs have shown, just being in goon squad both makes you a bigger target and doesn't provide the protection it used to because none of us poopsock like we used to when we were in college or high school.

The game currently has channels just like TERA. So if you want to avoid the majority of the open world pvp it may not be hard. All that you have to do is switch to a low population Channel. This assumes that we are allowed to switch channels.

Also I read that the level where the PvP stuff starts at level 50 now. Still you are correct. This is not going to be acceptable for everybody. I personally think that it would be wise for the item loss to be restricted to items of a certain quality or at least decrease the chances of losing a rare item to something very low. If this were to happen then the item loss would be pretty similar to a repair cost but I do realize that it would still feel different. I would prefer that item loss not be a part of the game at all but I'm willing to explore and see how strict it is. It could end up being one of those things that sounds a whole lot worse on paper than how it actually feels while playing the game.

The servers use dynamic channels, so after the initial rush dont expect there to be more than the base one. Just like what happened during the closed beta events.

e- The biggest caveat is that there just isnt any instanced content in the game, so after the grace period you wont have any means of leveling that completely removes you from the possibility of being brutally murdered.

I can't wait to see this become another trainwreck of an MMO ripe for people getting very upset. Who needs to grief when you can watch MMO's die over and over again?

I will probably play it for a bit before giving away all my stuff to a new character only to watch them die and quit because they just lost all of the good poo poo i've given them.

I still think this game has a better chance than archage for the simple reason that you should have known that archage was crap given the korean state of the game while this one is still pretty unknown and could go either way. It could be potentially worse than archage, but they'd have to try really hard to get to that point.

I didn't enjoy ArcheAge because of it's old mmo combat mechanics, it was still a "Pick target, hit skill button" thing. Once I started playing action mmos like TERA or Neverwinter I found it hard to go back to the old mechanics.
