It was fun watching streamers play and give opinions. It was surreal to be able to watch people play after 4 years of waiting.
Glad that it was surprisingly positive.
Even tho its an early buggy mess, its to be expected and its some of the most fun I've had in the last 15 years of gaming. Cant wait to see this game improve as time goes on
Did you jam to Spoon in the background?
It was a massive Ddos attack someone decided we were having way to much fun
My biggest concern is another DDoS attack. It's evident that if they get attacked again nobody will be able to log in, unless they do some major changes or throw away money at extra servers to mitigate the number of requests. DDoS hurt small companies the most, unfortunately.
Rewarding dickhead behaviours is not cool. I'm also mixed on the XP debts. I think it will lead to more caution in the regular player vs the yolos.
Yeah no they gotta get rid of xp debt, the fact that they actually put in effort to add something like that into the game is extremely concerning. I don't want to have to pull like a grandpa because ppl are scared of dying, the grind is already boring enough as it is.
Who the fuck D-Dos attacks an A-2? Lmao. Someone has too much time on their hands.
I didnβt mind the grinding mobs at all. I built a 2h cleric using a spellsword that was absolutely deleting mobs, instant smiting mobs in melee that turns my burning procs into conflags which modifies my condemned spell to a 4s stun into an instant cast judgement that I dumped my divine favor into was a blast. I love the combos of the classes and the fact that I could grind endlessly just bc the classes felt so good and the combat felt smooth is a testament in itself. Looking forward to more
XP lost on death, all you do is grind mobs. Itβs maplestory, they made maplestory π
DdoS Probably from a salty teenager yet again who got banned in the Discord, same thing happened to Club Penguin Journey recently
It felt like a real world of a real MMORPG, despite the bare bones nature of it. Can't wait for next weekend.
This game seems to be the WoW Classic+ Blizzard could never deliver.
You may be No1, but you're someone to me.
I grew tired of the "after 8 years" and "less content than Alpha 1" people.
I got tired of saying "Kickstarter was *7* years ago" and "Do you think they just DELETED years of work?"
… Overall it was great for an Alpha Test. I've been doing them since Merdian59 and Ultima Online. Likely well over 200 games and 350 applications.
You KNOW "someone" is running scared somewhere OR super angry, when you get a DDOS with 290Million hits.
So many that the three edge protectors, including Cloudflare, couldn't protect them from 23 million of hits!
This morning Steven announced they think they had a solution. Not bad, 1/4 of a business day to solve? Maybe.
looking at that footage it seems Tanks are really a necessity, like they should be. How are they at pvp tho? Would like to make one but are they just walking around in pvp?
I tried getting on and it said my permission was denied and they never fixed the issue so I'm still living vicariously thru youπ’π
for an alpha I think its looking pretty good so far. Can't wait to test the other classes
