cool beanz

Thanks for the update. I think a lot of the playerbase would like to see more frequent updates, even if they don't contain much information at all. I think it would help keep a more positive vibe around the forum if there was a monthly update.

I kind of think it will end up being better than expected. They could have thrown their hands up and launched with 60% of the goals done and piddled out bug fixes lazily for the next years. It seems more to me that the delay with an absolute insistence that the project is not on hold or shut down means they can see it taking shape. If they didn't care anymore we'd be playing a half done mess or the website would be down by now.

The only RA I care about is purge. If it's on a 30 minute timer, I won't be playing. Tiered purge with lower cool down as the rank goes up is the #1 think that is needed above all else imo. Hope it goes live with this.

Or, they could have removed the Tajendi quest giver, or the portal, and restarted the server. That would have removed 95% of the custom things on Uthgard and probably would have taken two days to code.

Instead, cliff beetle pathing became a priority, then old RAs, then SI, then Keep bonuses, then...

Staff policy is as little custom solutions as possible, so you will get old RAs in their original state.

As it should be i'd say. Having custom Old RAs is a nonsense.

You mean changing purge to be on a different timer than 30 mins?

Yes, read what Becopeland wrote few posts ago. In my opinion, Uth 2.0 should have original Old RAs, like they have been back in the past, so I wouldn't like to have any customization like Purge without its 30 mins timer, tiered Purge (= purge 1,2 3) etc.

Oh i i see now, well they are implementing old ra's, and no where has any dev or gm talked about custom making some of them. So let the people whine etc, I like the challenge with having it on a 30 min timer, because now you will have to ask your self, if it is really necessary to burn everytime you get mezzed rooted or whatever, makes things more interesting xD

I fully agree with you!

If Genesis is anything to go by then it's more about beeing able to purge slam or stun (in 1vs1). With the infiltrator having dragonfang and beeing able to spec dodger, you may aswell type /release while you're stunned if your purge is down. And ofcourse to a lesser extent the same goes for slam. The reaver with the Levithian style is just ridicules there.

People get nostalgic when thinking about old RA's, but forget back then the population was 3x more then it will be here. Halve of the population was somewhat clueless, didnt run fully templated, max buffs (with pots) etc. Nowadays people will do anything to win (or not too loose).

It gets old pretty fast to get stunned for 8/9 seconds, without beeing able todo anything.

We are keen on stopping cross realming and reinstating realm pride. It will be possible to switch realms on your account but this comes with a significant wait until your account changes realm.

And what will we do, when in frontiers only will be mids, hibs or albs and nothing to kill? Will we stay roaming for hours? On uthgard 1.0 was fun. If only where mids roaming, we could log in hib or alb and had instant action. With this we will have frontiers empty most of the time . Remember that most of players are pvers.
Stupid idea remove this.
