Out of all of the streamers to get hosted by Summit, glad it was you. Keep it up, big man. If I ever return to MO2, I'll try to find you since I still owe you for the backstab in the dungeon when it was released. 😂😂
Thank you for making the this video, it reminds me of all the reasons I have continued to sink hours into this game and the one of a kind experience it provides. No other game creates the level of comradery you feel after winning a fight against all odds. If anyone reading is a fan of the medieval fantasy genre as well as hardcore survival games, definitely give it a shot. Cheers mate.
@@overlordttvi2064 the grind for clading up (leveling) is pretty much the same as other mmos where you go around and just kill things and do task either gathering or killing things, but leveling skills which is way more important just level just by using them. EX- say your leveling swords you just smack things, leveling blocking you just block thing, defensive stance just get smacked, want to wear heavy armor throw it on til your character can wear it properly. farming materials (mining, hunting) is a bit of a grind but it drives the player market and it really isnt to bad
@@ICBM9087 Ya sounds like a Classical MMO thing. And it is also PvP where you lose things,Casual Players wont have fun 😁 I did my part on MMOs and got a nice amount of experience. I wish it came out 5-7 years ego 🙏 I was playing Dark and Darker similar to this but not a MMO like Escape from Tarkov but Elder Scroll Style.
@@overlordttvi2064 My advice is if you start playing just join a guild, it will exponentially increase the rate at which you learn things and accomplish things.
There is actually another game where you need to make spreadsheets to find out effects for example for cooking... it's called Wurm Online. But it will be hard to compare those two games, since MO2 is pretty action combat and large scale combat themed and Wurm is more about changing the land, building your place and crafting. And graphics are probably more in line with MO1. Anyway, great video! I enjoyed the summary. Makes me want to play more, even though I'm not much into PvP xD
Weirdly enough, starting new characters and getting the first points allocated felt so much better than maxing out my build. It felt really good when I could craft heavy armor for myself for the first time. Wearing it into the fab sewers I felt unbeatable, only to promptly get curbstomped by a group of players xD
Currently doing my first Veela fighter build and going through this with crafting. Still in haven but you have assholes who will kites like 12 bandits and run past you for them all to slaughter you immediately.
I always admire players for the passion of the niche MMOs. Remember when I was looking for another MMO after playing Wurm Online for 2 years and I found MO2 in development, I signed in for the beta test, was talking with developers and then lost interest because of New World, which I had a lot of fun playing
Yeah having playing new world since beta quit 5 months ago and glad I did seeing that new open beta with target lock and aim assist never looking back. All that being said I just started three days ago you are doing ur self a disservice not playing this game the world is great character building is fun and combat is fun as hell. Time to kill on this game isn’t to fast but not to slow.
I've got less than a month in game. I haven't even left Haven yet. But some thoughts. 1. I sucked at blocking. So I wanted to go into a direction where it didn't seem so necessary. So I was looking at magic. Haven does allow you to explore this, but the magic options are extremely limited. And with no access to Scribbing, you aren't going to add more spells to your spell book. Magic class in this game seems to be learn the basics and then head to the main land so you can actually do it. So if magic seeming to be so limited, I went with archery. Something so simple yet so complex. You have two types of bows Recurve or Decurve. Then three subtypes. Short Bow. Long bow. or Asymetric bow. You then have a choice to use one material or two materials to make the bow. All total I think I had to dump around 500 profession points just to make all the bows. And I've heard that there are some other books you have to learn to make some very intense bows. 2. Crafting is insane. I made many cooking items and almost all of it was uneatable. I'm pretty sure there are probably entire Excel workbooks on recipes that have good results if you have the appropriate skills. But to be honest, you probably are better off putting those points into something else unless you really want to cook as a source of income. 3. Leveling up skills is a true grind. Going back to bows, to level every category and subcategory of bow to 100 I had to craft close to 1200 bows. 4. Think outside of the box when it comes to crafting. Resources you wouldn't expect to be used in crafting can be used. Just like raw food for your pets can be both obvious and not so obvious food sources. 5. Skills are primary and secondary. Secondary skills are free to level up but tend to be roadblocked at whatever level the associated primary skill is set to. And primary skills do cost points to level. A one to one ratio. And you have a very finite number of points. And trust me when I say it seems like a lot, but once you start reading books you realize you don't have enough points for squat. Someone told me it is possible to be a jack of all trades in this game. You can dump just 30 points in all your primary skills to learn the bare minimum. But even if this is true I'd not recommend it. Otherwise nothing you will craft will be very good. Nobody will want to buy it and you sure as hell won't want to use it. 6. Pets. I've got four pets. Two horses. A wolf. And a chicken. Yes, I tamed a chicken to see what the end result is. The chicken was surprisingly very tricky to tame. Even when the game states it is below my level and I'll gain no experience from the effort. But to use multiple animals you have to put some serious points into the domestication. To the point where you will be sacrificing other skills just to tame pets and use multiple animals. And yeah, I do suspect some animals are probably outside of the limits the average player has for "animal points" without dedicating skill points to the cause. 7. Fishing, swimming, sprinting all primary skills. I had to literally ignore the first two because I needed points in other primary skills. 8. The library is both your greatest friend and your worse enemy. And yes, there is a library in the town of Haven. The tutorial introduces you to reading a book for a skill you may never even use, but neglects to mention there is a whole library on the edge of town. Hell, the tutorial only takes you to two to show you where a quest giver is. Nothing more. Nothing less. They expect you to explore the town completely on your own. I was in game for two weeks before I discovered the library. And the more expensive the book, the longer it will take to read. I think the longest book to complete took me over 3 days give or take. And there are dozens of books. Some you really want aren't available in Haven. 9. Your mic is hot by default. When you are in town, expect to hear random conversations from people near you. Just keep that in mind when you are playing.
Regarding blocking, try click drag setting with lower sensitivity, 50% or lower. The sensitivity can be raised later as you become more comfortable. And remember that your mouse movement is suppose to be in right angles when changing blocking directions, not circular/oval. You may also try keybinding either the overhead/thrust or the right/left directions, instead of using mouse for all 4 directions.
As for skill books, most do not need to be read to finish. Only enough to unlock the child skill you want; remember that when you gain xp in a child skill, its parent skill also gains xp automatically.
@@muddeer5383 Point made. I neglected to say this in my very long winded post. But unlock the parent skill, and then start reading a skill associated directly under the parent. Two for one. But be aware, some subskills do require a specific level to be reached on the parent to unlock the ability to read the book on the sub skill. Sometimes the parent skill has to be level 40. But I think the book warns you before purchase if you aren't high enough in skill to read it.
Glad to see Mortal is getting some eyes. Game has taken up over a year of my life now lol. I'm glad they're pointing new players towards Lordus. This game needs to progress in its core systems which imo is PvP and Sieging. Great things to come!
personally recommend against it if you value your time. the entire experience is very unfriendly towards new players, and you will be griefed quite frequently if(when) someone identifies you as a noob. There's a fun game buried beneath all the bs though if you persist.
@@TwoChinI just got into it, and yes you get griefed, but that's part of the game. And that appears to happen if you are new or not. If you know this in advance, and go into it with the mindset that your gear is not permanent. You will have a good time. But if you are going into it like another MMO, then you won't.
The problem, or blessing, depending how you look at it, is that the experience stands or falls on other players. Being social is super important because the game is dominated by well established groups of players. If you dont partake in this social circuit a very large part of the game simply wont be available to you. Like literally, there are a lot of things you cant do solo or with a small group. But also in terms of protection against grieving, simple knowledge of systems and gameplay and, well, content in general. The only game that currently out that is comparable is Eve Online in my opnion. Yes you can play Eve in the safe zone and grind missions and stuff, but you are experiencing an extremely watered down version of what null sec corps are doing. It is not like WoW where you can just spam Barrens chat with Tank LFG Wailing Caverns and have a good time with people you dont know and get some decent loot. The fact that you need to coordinate anything thats worth while doing with others can be great but it can also be extremely tedious. There is A LOT of downtime, simply waiting for everyone to get there. Usually guild activities are on a schedual, like you have to be somewhere at a specific time else you're out of luck. What im saying is that you have very little control over what you can actually do in the game. You cant just turn your PC on and start playing except very trivial things like gathering resources or hunting some monsters. And even that is hard and extremely risky. Remeber, everyone can just kill you and take your stuff if you just yolo it. So the best way to start Mortal Online 2 is not by starting to play Mortal Online 2. You start out by finding a guild, Discord is a must, and then hope these guys are active, patient with you and have good relations with other guilds. If your guild falls apart after a few weeks or managed to get itself in to trouble and you are pretty much kill on sight.... you are seriously f-ed. Now to someone unfamiliar to the game this might sound like its pretty exciting, but I guarantee you its not because, like I said, youll be excluded from like 90% of things to do. Youll end up like a peasant gathering stuff for others to do all the fun stuff with because there simply isnt anything else for you to do.
Played some year ago... Was interested in alchemy, but it was not fully there yet. Is it time to try again? I also, for a "reason", play solo and want to play my own build...
*joins* *ignores everyone* *makes a cottage* *starts fishing for 85 hrs* god i love medieval sims. *fishing ling zings out into water as two 50 man clans kill each other in the background*
When you're following the way of the Giant Thursar, it's hard to stray. For my alt I tried a magic oriented oghmir huegar... Now I'm running in heavy armor and hitting things with a 2h hammer... with 100 int...
I tried this game once but I just couldn't accept the stationary combat with enemy npc's. It just broke my immersion totally, like am I playing a 3d game with real time combat or a grid based dungeon crawler?
hi, a bunch of people me included have this weird bug were killing any ennemy will make us freeze for a second, i dont see you having this issue 5:00 , have you every experienced it or knows anyhting aobut it by any chance ? nothing on google, no luck on discord neither. thx
I played MO1 and it was a great game, but the number of hours you have to sink in is vast. Also, your character in MO1 could only really specialize in being one thing; if you want to craft as well as fight, well that's a different character. When the desert expansion came out, I made an entirely new character to specialize in horse archery. I never got good at combat, but I only had some hundreds of hours when the majority of the big guilds quit.
Great video that breaks everything down really nicely. Just unfortunately can't look past the subscription model which is so outdated. There is enough subscriptions to worry about in this day in age.
I get that, I just evaluate the amount of entertainment this game gives me every month. 15$ a month for me is plenty of bang for my buck. especially if I compare it to a night out at the movies for two hours of entertainment... it really doesn't compare.
I think this game could become a lot bigger if they allow you to have 1 character free of charge to experience almost the full game once. Then if you want another character or go further then you will need to pay the $15 a month.
they attempted something like that where it was an endless f2p trial where your skills would max out at an effective level of 50 so you could try everything the game had to offer but you were only half as effective as someone who subbed and you could still level skills to 100 but it would stay effective level 50 until you subbed but the game somehow garnered a p2w moniker because of it so they abolished it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can anyone tell me if this game has any similarites the that old MMO Ultima Online? I loved that game over 15 years ago and never found something like it.
games super fun especially if you like games like tarkov or dayz but the character progression is alot more fun and rewarding in mortal than those games, when you start winning outnumbered fights it feels so cool literally no other game like it
Problem I have with MO2 is the lag/desync. If fights were small 3-6 players it's not bad. Start getting past 10 players and the shenanigans begin. Before you say it's hardware problems I run a 4080super, i9-14900 and 64g of ram at 6000
If you die, is it hard to work up to gearing up again? I've always been interested in this, but I feel like I'd just get recked all the time and never have gear, lol.
I play from Philippines with ExitLag and it runs great, if you were to become a tip tier dueler, you may feel a bit disadvantaged, but for 95% of the game there are no issues playing from here.
This game always seems so interesting but its held back by SUCH SLOW development and frustrating (not fun) gameplay. They make a big hype about 1 new dungeon and it comes SO far apart. Just way too slow in releasing new content. Also the servers mortal online 2 use are not that impressive. Its quite a poor refresh rate and it is only remotely stable because there are barely any players online at a time.... The steam user counts are quite low. Also a sub for this is insane lol. Then the actual gameplay. Its always cool to say "one world, no instances, fun guild systems" until you actually jump in and its a TOTAL zerg fest. You cant do ANYTHING without joining one of like 10 major guilds. You have to zerg everything, there is no "hop in with friends and do a dungeon". Doesn't exist. You need to bring 50 guys with you who all have max tier gear otherwise there is no hope. You will go out of the safe towns for 5 seconds to do a beginner mission and get ganked all the time. Its not fun. Its a cool concept, but its not fun. The only people who play are a very very very tiny hardcore fanboy base.
@@soliitudegaming7275 can't argue with you on thoughts of development speed. I will say on the side of needing to 'zerg': yes the game will be far easier if you join a big guild and sit outside one dungeon, but it's not a necessity as you're implying. A majority of dungeon running itself is small scale, but you will have zergs sieging out out of areas. Regardless of this small scale is well and truly alive for experienced players, and newer players will have to build up their skill and bank if they want to small scale dungeons. This is all, obviously, in my very bias opinion so take that as you will.
I have a small guild and the boys and I hop into do dungeons all the time. 3-5 guys. The new jungle dungeon, Mellisar's vault, sator dungeon etc... never had too many issues tbh.
Can't agree more with OP. this game is not fun for small/solo play, but the mobs (outside of dungeons) are small scale so it's dumb to farm with big groups. Also the time it takes to ready up and travel is brutal. So much time is spent just getting your group ready. And the fact you can't see your friends on a map or indicators ingame sucks, your buddy may be 50 feet away from you who got lost and it takes forever to find them. It would be great if every character could have a beacon skill that shoots a firework or something into the sky, enemies could also see it but at least you could regroup easily. I personally think you should be able to see your friends easier ingame, they should show up on the map. And so should you for that matter, would help new players out like crazy. Also make a teleport system back to town or your house for fucks sake, the travel is horrendous. make it so you cannot teleport with money and maybe half weight or something. Make portals in most to all cities and can port to other cities, where you can only port naked.
stopped playing after the sub introduction, sadly. Miss the game, but life is getting evermore expensive, subs become such a money siphon over the months and years.
@@RTMaster1 It's 15 per month, if I remember correctly. It's not as outlandish as EVE Online's 20, but I can get games like FFXIV for 10, and I'm not willing to sub multiple games + netflix + spotify. So I prioritize, and MO doesn't make the cut usually.
The most overrates overhyped game all year was that dlc and i swear im like the only person who thinks that. Everyone going on about how hard it is lmao i 1shot every boss in the dlc stoned out of my mind, ppl who thinks soulslike gamea are hard crack me the fuck up
I would love to play a game like this. I just don't have the time to put in it. I would love to be in a Merc group for a medieval/fantasy game. I tried new world since it wasn't as punishing to die but, PvP sucked and combat was lame as hell. Just like I hope for star citizen to be done at some point as I'd really like to play as a ground merc that gets hired and dropped in to fight.
@@cfvb6736 To each their own. I personally would rather not have my game diminished by them. I don't want pay for convenience, I don't want pay to win, and even cosmetics that disrupt immersion and could always have been an achievable in game cosmetic. Microtransactions in MMOs defy the core principles of the genre. That's just my opinion.
Subscription fee when the game fully releases, that is a major turn off for me they should just make it free to play with subscription version available. Planetside 2 is a good example. Am interested in the game but cause of the subscription i'll not be getting it unfortunately.
FTP brings in unwanted griefers, trolls, and hackers. The sub keeps those riffraffs and unserious players from ruining the game. SV tried what you suggest in MO1, and they certainly are not going back to that.
Played this in test then when it first dropped. I enjoy solo but this game is not solo friendly unless you are a vet like he said. Thats the only thing that turned me off of it aside from town camping.
Seemed like a really cool game, but $30 + a subscription is steep to try it out. Think I'll just watch some content to get a feel for it. As a filthy mage player I have to see how it goes.
@@ognano420 For WoW or FFIV maybe. This tier of game can't command that kind of subscription with also an up front cost. Checking the player numbers, that fee and the niche of the style of game seems to make it tough for adoption. As someone who works in games for a living, it's wild that it paid off and a very cool project but damn that marketing decision was a gamble.

Problem is How does Grind Looks in this game?
Its almost identical as other MMOs?

If your guild falls apart after a few weeks or managed to get itself in to trouble and you are pretty much kill on sight.... you are seriously f-ed. Now to someone unfamiliar to the game this might sound like its pretty exciting, but I guarantee you its not because, like I said, youll be excluded from like 90% of things to do. Youll end up like a peasant gathering stuff for others to do all the fun stuff with because there simply isnt anything else for you to do.

Does it require a monthly subscription fee?
Yes, 15 usd
You got my sub, for person who thinks about buying this, I think most informant video. Did you played Mortal Online 1?
Great video, quick and to the point
Played some year ago... Was interested in alchemy, but it was not fully there yet. Is it time to try again?
I also, for a "reason", play solo and want to play my own build...
*joins*
*ignores everyone*
*makes a cottage*
*starts fishing for 85 hrs*
god i love medieval sims. *fishing ling zings out into water as two 50 man clans kill each other in the background*
Even with the problems, no game even compares to MO2. Literally the game so many of us hoped for (albeit not perfect!!!)... Great video.
My thing is, how do you even get the game to run this smoothly.
When you're following the way of the Giant Thursar, it's hard to stray. For my alt I tried a magic oriented oghmir huegar... Now I'm running in heavy armor and hitting things with a 2h hammer... with 100 int...
I tried this game once but I just couldn't accept the stationary combat with enemy npc's. It just broke my immersion totally, like am I playing a 3d game with real time combat or a grid based dungeon crawler?
My guy still playing MO 2. Good on you.
hi, a bunch of people me included have this weird bug were killing any ennemy will make us freeze for a second, i dont see you having this issue 5:00 , have you every experienced it or knows anyhting aobut it by any chance ? nothing on google, no luck on discord neither. thx
No I haven't, I'd probably check in with a veteran player ingame or hit up their website customer help
@@thelordus asked ingame not much, service told us its the first time they hear this, kinda stuck ngl, thx for helping tho
Is your friend an Oghmir tamer footfighter?
I played MO1 and it was a great game, but the number of hours you have to sink in is vast. Also, your character in MO1 could only really specialize in being one thing; if you want to craft as well as fight, well that's a different character. When the desert expansion came out, I made an entirely new character to specialize in horse archery. I never got good at combat, but I only had some hundreds of hours when the majority of the big guilds quit.
I stopped playing cause the small one server; is it still only 3000 players at a time?? anyone answer please?
yeah it breaks above that, but when the world has 2k+ concurrent in it it feels very full
Great video that breaks everything down really nicely. Just unfortunately can't look past the subscription model which is so outdated. There is enough subscriptions to worry about in this day in age.
I get that, I just evaluate the amount of entertainment this game gives me every month. 15$ a month for me is plenty of bang for my buck. especially if I compare it to a night out at the movies for two hours of entertainment... it really doesn't compare.
I think this game could become a lot bigger if they allow you to have 1 character free of charge to experience almost the full game once. Then if you want another character or go further then you will need to pay the $15 a month.
they attempted something like that where it was an endless f2p trial where your skills would max out at an effective level of 50 so you could try everything the game had to offer but you were only half as effective as someone who subbed and you could still level skills to 100 but it would stay effective level 50 until you subbed but the game somehow garnered a p2w moniker because of it so they abolished it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lordus is the ambassador this game needs!
Good video Lordus o/
Can anyone tell me if this game has any similarites the that old MMO Ultima Online? I loved that game over 15 years ago and never found something like it.
It's the spiritual successor of Ultima. It's the CEO Henrik's favourite game
Yeah everyone says 'man this reminds me of UO' 👴
Now this is a video I can send to people interested in the game, fuckin nice
Never played it due to the refusal for US servers. Have they added it?
no I'm sorry to tell you, the talk is they may eventually release another continent with a server based in NA but that's long way off talk
games super fun especially if you like games like tarkov or dayz but the character progression is alot more fun and rewarding in mortal than those games, when you start winning outnumbered fights it feels so cool literally no other game like it
Problem I have with MO2 is the lag/desync. If fights were small 3-6 players it's not bad. Start getting past 10 players and the shenanigans begin. Before you say it's hardware problems I run a 4080super, i9-14900 and 64g of ram at 6000
If you die, is it hard to work up to gearing up again? I've always been interested in this, but I feel like I'd just get recked all the time and never have gear, lol.
The game is built around the loss. Getting regeared is easy when established.
All good builds are meta?
Apreciate you doing the marketing for SV, as they won't.. Game is really underrated, hope people will find it. Its the shit, respect, ,- Mornir.
Just bought it, very interested probably gonna get my ass kicked but this game seems unique and worth the time.
I hope there will be an SEA server. I would 100% play this.
I play from Philippines with ExitLag and it runs great, if you were to become a tip tier dueler, you may feel a bit disadvantaged, but for 95% of the game there are no issues playing from here.
I wish I had a PC to support this game, it's so great
liked shared commented blazed rolled and smoked
Great intro to the game 👍
First of many I hope 🙏
Really good video that can actually helps new players.
is it still a subscription?
This game always seems so interesting but its held back by SUCH SLOW development and frustrating (not fun) gameplay. They make a big hype about 1 new dungeon and it comes SO far apart. Just way too slow in releasing new content. Also the servers mortal online 2 use are not that impressive. Its quite a poor refresh rate and it is only remotely stable because there are barely any players online at a time.... The steam user counts are quite low. Also a sub for this is insane lol.
Then the actual gameplay. Its always cool to say "one world, no instances, fun guild systems" until you actually jump in and its a TOTAL zerg fest. You cant do ANYTHING without joining one of like 10 major guilds. You have to zerg everything, there is no "hop in with friends and do a dungeon". Doesn't exist. You need to bring 50 guys with you who all have max tier gear otherwise there is no hope.
You will go out of the safe towns for 5 seconds to do a beginner mission and get ganked all the time. Its not fun. Its a cool concept, but its not fun. The only people who play are a very very very tiny hardcore fanboy base.
@@soliitudegaming7275 can't argue with you on thoughts of development speed. I will say on the side of needing to 'zerg': yes the game will be far easier if you join a big guild and sit outside one dungeon, but it's not a necessity as you're implying. A majority of dungeon running itself is small scale, but you will have zergs sieging out out of areas. Regardless of this small scale is well and truly alive for experienced players, and newer players will have to build up their skill and bank if they want to small scale dungeons. This is all, obviously, in my very bias opinion so take that as you will.
I have a small guild and the boys and I hop into do dungeons all the time. 3-5 guys. The new jungle dungeon, Mellisar's vault, sator dungeon etc... never had too many issues tbh.
Can't agree more with OP. this game is not fun for small/solo play, but the mobs (outside of dungeons) are small scale so it's dumb to farm with big groups.
Also the time it takes to ready up and travel is brutal. So much time is spent just getting your group ready. And the fact you can't see your friends on a map or indicators ingame sucks, your buddy may be 50 feet away from you who got lost and it takes forever to find them. It would be great if every character could have a beacon skill that shoots a firework or something into the sky, enemies could also see it but at least you could regroup easily. I personally think you should be able to see your friends easier ingame, they should show up on the map. And so should you for that matter, would help new players out like crazy.
Also make a teleport system back to town or your house for fucks sake, the travel is horrendous. make it so you cannot teleport with money and maybe half weight or something. Make portals in most to all cities and can port to other cities, where you can only port naked.
whos the korean mage again? would love to watch some of that gameplay
@branngoldbeard5211 brann goldbeard
Very cool, thanks for explaining.
did they plan and did the servers implode?
stopped playing after the sub introduction, sadly. Miss the game, but life is getting evermore expensive, subs become such a money siphon over the months and years.
Is it extraordinarily high? In my experience f2p games usually extract much more money from you via mtx
@@RTMaster1 It's 15 per month, if I remember correctly. It's not as outlandish as EVE Online's 20, but I can get games like FFXIV for 10, and I'm not willing to sub multiple games + netflix + spotify. So I prioritize, and MO doesn't make the cut usually.
how populated is server?
1k plus on most of the time and growing.
bro i started this game a week or two ago, fking amazing game so fun T,T
Well done brother .
Forgot to mention the ping advantage in EU compared to NA.
So it's like a Medieval version of Eve online. I'm in..
I just saw you in fabernum bro I was starstruck and forgot I could voice chat or I would've said hi
Indeed Looks Fun but time consuming also!
Remember Time is like unpriced treasure that willnoy come back ❤
Sounds like something i'd love to get into, unfortunately OCE region here. Can't do proper directional combat with such high ping :(
go mage
yes melee will be much harder, but in teamfights you can still be effective - check out j45k on twitch for an example of a high level OCE player x)
Lordus, you looking like Henrik son. :))
Doing gods work!
How do you parry like that
alot of practice
@@thelordus and
Fps version of albion basically?
First time seeing your videos, really easy to listen to! Subbed
Veteran...like it's some kind of meaningful skill and experience.
veteran - definition - a person who has had long experience in a particular field.
you're welcome for me expanding your vocabulary
I finally have an answer to why you haven't played the elden dlc yet >.
The most overrates overhyped game all year was that dlc and i swear im like the only person who thinks that.
Everyone going on about how hard it is lmao i 1shot every boss in the dlc stoned out of my mind, ppl who thinks soulslike gamea are hard crack me the fuck up
Great video!
Reminds me kind of a 3D Ultima Online.
I would love to play a game like this. I just don't have the time to put in it. I would love to be in a Merc group for a medieval/fantasy game. I tried new world since it wasn't as punishing to die but, PvP sucked and combat was lame as hell. Just like I hope for star citizen to be done at some point as I'd really like to play as a ground merc that gets hired and dropped in to fight.
He's the best there ever was or will be
Fire explaination
its the best sandbox mmo and my favorite game, but there is no way i am paying a subscription to play
Either pay the sub or suffer microtransactions, pay for convenience, and pay to win garbage. That's the reality unfortunately.
@@Whisperfallyes better pay to play than pay to win garbage korean/china money hungry gacha game
@@Whisperfall i would rather have microtransactions than have to pay subscription
@@cfvb6736 To each their own. I personally would rather not have my game diminished by them. I don't want pay for convenience, I don't want pay to win, and even cosmetics that disrupt immersion and could always have been an achievable in game cosmetic. Microtransactions in MMOs defy the core principles of the genre. That's just my opinion.
@@Whisperfall its p2w?
Subscription fee when the game fully releases, that is a major turn off for me they should just make it free to play with subscription version available. Planetside 2 is a good example. Am interested in the game but cause of the subscription i'll not be getting it unfortunately.
FTP brings in unwanted griefers, trolls, and hackers. The sub keeps those riffraffs and unserious players from ruining the game. SV tried what you suggest in MO1, and they certainly are not going back to that.
@@muddeer5383 Yeah so 40 bucks per month? Lol no thank you that's honestly outrageous, the game will die because of it.
melee combat looks so rough in this video not gonna lie
Played this in test then when it first dropped. I enjoy solo but this game is not solo friendly unless you are a vet like he said. Thats the only thing that turned me off of it aside from town camping.
Guy's describing how Albion Online used to be before it became an extraction looter.
Looks like Dark and darker! 😅
Mortal Online 2
Seemed like a really cool game, but $30 + a subscription is steep to try it out. Think I'll just watch some content to get a feel for it. As a filthy mage player I have to see how it goes.
Only 15 usd a month for a sub for two characters, pretty average as far as subs go.
@@ognano420 For WoW or FFIV maybe. This tier of game can't command that kind of subscription with also an up front cost. Checking the player numbers, that fee and the niche of the style of game seems to make it tough for adoption. As someone who works in games for a living, it's wild that it paid off and a very cool project but damn that marketing decision was a gamble.
The gameplay is too inconvenient for me, everything takes too long and often ends up being unrewarding.
Best game ever
i thought thats the gaming channel of iratschtv😂
are there feet in game
no. the devs are from europe. only metric system used
Yeah the best kind, Khurite woman feet, our buddy named his stronghold in honor of them.
