JonReb · 26th June 2009, 14:34

Awesome review.. my heart can't stop beating.

Murata · 26th June 2009, 14:43

As if I wasn't privately leaked any info.

Slann · 26th June 2009, 14:44

Thats great, btw you could post some screenshots :P

Kushaja · 26th June 2009, 14:51

Excellent review Lachrymose! Thank you for keeping our hopes up, and thanks the dev team for being honest and straightforward with the community

(ass-licking is important sometimes)

And that isnt anywhere long enough if a system is not even in place in the game. If you think of range/magic and melee...then range/magic just getting introduced...will need more than 3 to 4 months to test and be playable.

i share the same concerns.. there is still a lot that has gone untested, and i do worry that 3-4 months may not be enough time to get it perfect. only time will tell...

Cool

Nicely written.

Huggmuth · 26th June 2009, 15:12

Freaken'ly awesome!

Wolfhammer · 26th June 2009, 15:12

Well ty Mats for allowing that out..

And ty to Lach for a nicely written piece..

Extremely excited about the bunny hop/circle strafe info... YESSS!!

REALLY excited about the crafting possibilities even if its just via the NPC right now...

Excellent !!

Y'Berion · 26th June 2009, 15:12

Looking good!

Amarll · 26th June 2009, 15:48

Amazing read, I can't thank Lachrymose enough, or even Mats for taking the time to write it up and post it.

In all honesty, while I am usually cynical and prolly improperly rude, I can't wait for the game and it seems as if the devs are doing everything that they promised. This is nice and refreshing at the same time to see the devs creating the game in their eyes and not in a cash cow's eyes. It is also very refreshing to actually see that a community actually has some say in what we want to be in the game, and that our words hold atleast some weight; while not needed at all because the devs have hit this right on the noggen. GJ to all of you.

I am very happy with the way this game is turning out.

NizeGuy · 26th June 2009, 16:01

OMGZ!

I'm so excited

Akai · 26th June 2009, 16:02

Nice review - 3 days seems like such a long time right now

Mauricius · 26th June 2009, 16:22

Thanks for the good review it's getting me more excited to play MO.

Benny Hinn · 26th June 2009, 16:36

The character development/crafting system sounds good.

But all we can do is hope a so-called prediction system exists and actually works.

Personally, when I play a game and my hits have even a slight tendency not to register: it ruins the game for me.

Otiumin · 26th June 2009, 16:50

Tease!! Thanks for the review, it only fuels my anticipation that much more however. Not sure if I can take much more... still so long to go.... must... maintain...nudity..pvp.. arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh

You mean 10, if you are the one of the 2000 chosen to begin the first beta phase on the 6 july.

I know its hard to heard

Bruin · 26th June 2009, 16:59

Nice, it doesn't sound like there's big issues with it at all right now. It sounds like they have some things to balance, as all games do, but it's not like other games where whole systems aren't functioning correctly.

Can't wait to preorder, and hopefully get in Beta.

No matter how much work the other parts of the game still need. This one thing already fills me with anticipacion.

However I do hope, the prediction system and pings in general wont be such a big problem. Connection problems and lag are already annoying in games like multiplayer shooters, but in an MMO the consequences of an lag in the wrong moment can be much more severe. In an shooter you would cuss and then simply wait for your respawn.

Mas · 26th June 2009, 17:38

CANT WAIT..awesome review.

Neutral · 26th June 2009, 18:08

News like this is always refreshing. Can't wait for the store to open

Honorzeal · 26th June 2009, 18:37

This just made me all the more excited for MO. A big thanks to the Devs and Lachrymose!

Bennyboy · 26th June 2009, 18:39

This will be just one word, Epic!

atome · 26th June 2009, 18:59

Again, well written and provides fans with lots of promise and reasons to get excited.

tomasmoore · 26th June 2009, 19:03

Jesus christ this is looking better and better.

Xen · 26th June 2009, 19:28

wait, so you coudl apply real life to making a bow in game? I think I jsut creamed my pants. Game sounds awesome, can't wait to get in and play.

Uncron · 26th June 2009, 20:06

Very nice, thanks.

Nehemia · 26th June 2009, 20:22

Lachrymose, I love you. Even though those are beta impressions, you reviewed the game accordingly, also addressing some problems it has at the moment.

Great review, props for that.

I especially was happy to hear about being able to get lost if you are not mindful of where you are headed. Immersion is a key feature I personally look for in games and it sounds like SV has got it right.

So looking forward to this game!

aye, this review just confirms my thinking that this game will be awesome.

Pyrot · 26th June 2009, 21:06

hell ya im stoked for this now

If devs want to make game somehow realistic wepons wont be ballanced. In real world there are kind of weapons that have adventage on certain kinds, but/and disadventage to other kidns of wepons. If you know what i mean.

cant wait to see this! >_< jesus i just want to play it! now!

peace

Cyndane Vadin · 26th June 2009, 21:45

Hey Mats, check the date of the post on the main website, its wrong.

It sais 05-06-25 :/

Amarok01 · 26th June 2009, 21:59

Very nice review, thank you

Burninator · 26th June 2009, 22:03

Wow this game just looks more and more amazing every time I read something new about it!

Isn't this a definition of balance?
Anyway, as annoying as i may sound, don't become overhyped. First try it out, then start worshipping Mats and the team.

Conrad · 27th June 2009, 00:28

Cant wait!!!!!!!

Enxx · 27th June 2009, 00:38

I dont want to sound too negative or hateful, especially since you all reacted so positively on the review and this being my first post... But this (and the other one) review feels like being written by marketing, not by a player/tester. It is so formal and eloquent, and incredibly well structured, it is clearly written by a professional.

It definetly is jizz in my pants material, i am very happy a different MMORPG is soon to be relaased and everything ive read is absolutely awesome, but i cant help feeling decieved. Not to mention being fearful of hype, we have seen many times now that hype can do more damage than good, and a recent game not unlike MO has shown that in spectacular fashion.
