Depends on how p2w it'll be, but I'd bet probably half a million+

[wooden herald]

4-5 probably

[gritty moon]

I'll never fault someone for making money on that even if I think the game was hot garbage

[viral wagon]

yeah, you would lol

[gritty moon]

Why would I? People gotta eat

[calm saddle]

Apparently NW was around a million, so no way Aion 2 is more. Basically any mmo after WoW has paled in comparison when it comes to population sizes, I think FFXIV has been the closest and it was still no contest.

[south lynx]

ashes is def not a good game to stream but fuck me do i have fun playing this weird thing

[viral wagon]

you'd get pissed off, start shit, lose your shit more, ignore them, click all their messages, and then cope about it later

[gritty moon]

Over someone making money on a video game? No that's not happening

[viral wagon]

yeah, you would

[gritty moon]

Nope I don't care about it

I do sometimes that's the wonderful thing about the feature if I don't want to look at you it's gone

[viral wagon]

imagine thinking you're trolling anyone but yourself if you're using block/ignore on Discord 🤣

yeah yeah, yap some more while you click every one of my messages to read and respond

[gritty moon]

Features exist for a reason sorry you're not capable of using them

[grizzled widget]

FFXIV was definitely more popular than retail WoW during 5.0 and 6.0 ... but nowadays definitely not lol

Classic WoW is probably still more popular than retail though

🧂 Salt News Network: The Mayor of Nowhere 🧂

After weeks of criticism for being an inactive Mayor and rigging elections, @gleaming blade decided to make a spectacle of himself yet again.

In a desperate flex, he waltzed into the REAL Shol Phase 3 Community Discord just long enough to type:

“Just here for a screenshot of yappers, adios tho ty.”

…and then immediately left the server. That’s right—showed up, dropped a one-liner, and rage quit.

But the humiliation didn’t stop there. Almost instantly after leaving, Srixun rejoined on his alt account, PCMastaMan — an alias already infamous for his more “unsavory” behavior.

So, after being roasted for poor leadership, he responded by creeping back into the community under a burner account. Talk about embarrassing.

The REAL Shol Phase 3 server continues to thrive with guild leaders cooperating and working together, while Srixun’s antics just confirm what everyone already knew: when the heat’s on, he hides behind alts. 🧂

[viral wagon]

the discord that has like 500 users? That shit is more cringe than SNN

[gleaming blade]

Hmm? I just got kudos for mayorship what is the desperation saying now?

Nothing I said there was incorrent sir. 8) try harder. cope more. Have the day you deserve.

[reef crater]

Would have been fine, because no one batted an eye or cared. Just makes for more memes.

But then you joined on your burner account thinking no one knew who it was 🤣

The funny part is the irony of the posturing like you dont care, followed by the creeping back in to peek. Classic haha

[viral wagon]

I don't need help with Joe. Thanks though Schnozzlord 😍

[gleaming blade]

Burner account? May have. i dont know. I've got like 12 discord accounts. lol.

it's called trolling you goofy ass NA zoomer

[south lynx]

Plus i gotta get my bard to 25, then my tank to 25 then my summoner to 25 when it comes out

@grizzled widget gods speed, i have too many hours in that game... @gleaming blade unfortuantely found out today.

[fervent hound]

We did not write this and this is not one of our writer fyi. This was denied after the Polar/Aura ban went up.

[gleaming blade]

WAY TOO MANY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE WITH OVER 120k HOURS IN A GAME ;P

I have 68k hours in WoW, Srix just made 120 up

[viral wagon]

so like 7 years of your life has been WoW? My condolences

None of those games are old enough for someone to have 14 years of playtime

Not using discord at all is the true meta

[viral wagon]

There are people who buy Discord accounts just to have an old join date etc for alts too

[south lynx]

I work from home, stream 4-5 days a week, and judge/play TCG competitively... whats grass

[fervent hound]

Judging/playing TCG is more human interaction than half this games population

Bobby Flay being a reference that someone in their 30s to 40s would know, primarily NA. Idk how popular he was outside of NA

Bobby youre really bad at this.

[grizzled widget]

sick burn, dude. maybe you should help them with their writing? you've got real potential, bro. don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[viral wagon]

Bobby so shit he's making me close to complimenting SNN

[reef crater]

I would be, if i was trying to be good at something 🤷‍♂️

[gleaming blade]

That actually makes alot of sense.

[fervent hound]

You can talk about any guilds besides these two and really any content that’s related to the game that’s not mud slinging guild. That’s the entire ban. And it’s because both guilds and supporters for both went too far south that it was just stupid. There’s like 700 guilds in game and they are all doing shit. It’s not that hard to write about stuff.

Or as @grizzled nexus would say get good

[grizzled nexus]

woah dude youre so creative and inspiring, you know what i should lift the ban right now and let people continue to post non stop about polar and aura even though both guilds are dead

hey degens, i know some of you are smart, has it been confirmed phys attack speed affects animations or just charge up abilities

[drifting herald]

I have a feeling it only effects the ability numbers not the animations

Could test with an auto attack different weapons

[grizzled magnet]

Whatever mara says, the opposite is usually correct

[prisma hull]

just confirmed it, the official wiki cant be wrong right??

[grizzled widget]

Speed affects animations and has done so since phase 1

[gleaming blade]

So I have it on good Authority that BobbyFlay is Kaiser. Will this be his 5th banned account in this discord? lol

[quasi river]

"we datamined server names so we know a freshstart is coming"
shit man me too here are the server names

[undone pike]

Dev bias clearly !!! no one has wiki access 🤣

[oblique fossil]

I think there's a high likelihood. We know they are dropping the price. Spending on ads. However I think a fresh start 2 months after p3 launch is a catacslymiclly bad choice

[gritty moon]

aoc chat going a week without talking about polar challenge - difficulty level impossible

[oblique fossil]

Im not "talking" about Polar dimwit. I'm talking about them having info

[shadow shoal]

[oblique fossil]

Phase 5, I believe.

[gritty moon]

interesting, wonder how that argument would fair in a court of law

[shadow shoal]

Where Glowies-led Bard update?

[oblique fossil]

Ask me when the skill point and class overhauls come. Steven said aggressive date is December. But prop next milestone big update after Harbingers

I have a build I'm running this phase but I'm gatekeeping. Idk bardash will prob spoil it because we were dueling

[oblique fossil]

There's a difference between bitching and crying about Polar all day. And me reporting on information shared by them. Sorry you don't understand. It's probably cuz ur in BBC wolves

[gritty moon]

thats not what i said though is it, i said talking about them (which what you're doing definitely falls under)

[oblique fossil]

Ok 👍. I don't care. You can leave the salt channel if you wanna cry about it. I hear lothria chat is the perfect place for you.

[gritty moon]

if you didnt care you wouldnt have said anything in response to me in the first place now would you? you took it as a personal assault on your point when it was about the entirety of everything above you. "dimwit"

polar still around or did they exploit thier way off this phase?

then we'd truly be in hell

[calm saddle]

Polar "won the phase" and "moved on to greener pvp pastures" while preparing for a "fresh start" in 3.5 launch

[grizzled widget]

3.5 is pure cope lol

[gritty moon]

only people calling it 3.5 are you people wipe doesnt mean its 3.5

[grizzled widget]

Wiping in November is also pointless

[gritty moon]

fresh start hype

[grizzled widget]

There is literally zero point in wiping until they can sort out their backend issues causing instability issues every time they push a patch

[void plaza]

its not 3.5 is 2.7 get it right

[gritty moon]

would be more accurate, 3.0 was suppose to have summoner

[earnest garden]

2.75, with hookers, but no blow.

[grizzled widget]

Else we will just be here again in January with people asking for yet another wipe because the economy is fucked because of some other dupe or exploit

[calm saddle]

guys if you keep arguing we're gonna close down 3.5 and go back to the drawing board in alpha 1, don't test us...

[drowsy furnace]

So you're saying they are still cooking?

won? by duping and exploiting thier gear and gold... for the 4th time?

[calm saddle]

proof?

[grizzled widget]

They’ve literally said nothing about there being a wipe, lol. And wiping between two MMOs expansions and WoW Midnight prepatch will result in a dead phase 3.5

[gritty moon]

He can't read, he's obsessed with the word wipe when we're saying FRESH START HYPE

[vague vortex]

proof? you a polar member or live under a rock?

[grizzled widget]

The interest just isn’t there in the larger mmo community for a fresh start or wipe

[calm saddle]

so....no proof then, yes?

[gritty moon]

aint nobody playing midnight

[grizzled widget]

THAT is cope

[vague vortex]

the pictures.. the videos... the bans/suspensions in p1...p2...2,5....p3....

[gritty moon]

the player base wont be able to h andle the game without addons

[calm saddle]

Do you mean the checks notes like 3 Polar guys that got reset for the caravan crate stacking?

[old vault]

Banning people for finding exploits in an alpha is still wild to me

[gritty moon]

it was the public outcry from the people that made them act on it tbh

[old vault]

And it's still wild

[gritty moon]

same reason why we have spin ups on wars now; people cant handle pvp in a pvx game

[calm saddle]

There was less of a "ban for finding exploits" and more of a "ban for finding and actively utilizing exploits"

[old vault]

What difference does it make in a test

Might as well collect as much data on how to replicate it so they can fix it for 2050 launch

[calm saddle]

The people who wanna take a test seriously regardless and think repeat offenders should be punished accordingly when they think they're above the rules

[vague vortex]

i legit have a video of polar using the water mage/hunter water exploit/bug. reported it. was told it wasnt a bug or exploit... then the next patch the patch notes said FIXED THE WATER MOVEMENT BUG THAT ALLOWED MAGES AND HUNTERS HOP THROUGH THE WATER AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

[calm saddle]

Tms a small brain idiot but it doesn't take rocket science to think, hmm, maybe you shouldn't be able to stack 30 crates on one caravan....but instead he did just that and then allcalled his guild to defend his caravan so Supple couldn't raid it and find the truth

[gritty moon]

no you should be able to stack 50

[grizzled widget]

Finding exploits is one thing. Abusing them is another.

[calm saddle]

obviously you agree with this since you've been trying to join Polar for weeks now

[gritty moon]

oh ya?

[vague vortex]

true but to polar. just cause they find a bug. and are told not to use it again.. they werent actually told it was a game abuse by a admin so its okay to use it till they fix it

[calm saddle]

Spend every day deepthroating and eventually people are gonna realize you're looking for a prize for your deepthroating, mr Leshrac

[viral wagon]

them not dodging main server so they can get server first is a huge improvement; shout out Eranikus crew. Be nice

[gritty moon]

are you assuming I'm like you or something?

[grizzled widget]

It really isn’t that complicated. Make a bug report and not continue to do it.

The fact that they don’t publish these things in public channels is evidence enough for you to know.

[calm saddle]

If that's what it takes, sure we can go with that

I'm proud of you for being willing to fess up your love for daddy Tm, Leshrac, that took courage 🙏

[gritty moon]

I mean it says more about what you people do in your daily life if you think this is behavior born from a want to join a guild. Some people just think differently than you do :)

[vague vortex]

i had a few of them tell me when the crate expolit happened. " we werent told personally by admins that we couldnt stuff crates inside other crates"... even though they made a post not to do it.. they werent told personally so it wasnt abuse

[calm saddle]

The freak attempts his redirects but the truth now lays in the open from his earlier attempt at a redirect, truly checkmated

[old vault]

Reprimanding the people who are finding and replicating/"abusing" those bugs consistently for you during a testing phase where nothing matters anyways is silly

[gritty moon]

if you say so lol

[grizzled widget]

You don’t need a handwritten letter from Steven to know if something is a bug or not. And it’s impressive there’s one guild in particular who is conveniently involved in many of these accusations

[gritty moon]

if i wanted to join polar i wouldve joined them by now

[vague vortex]

one guild... over 4 phases... constant account bans and suspensions

[grizzled widget]

Abusing bugs to the point where it ruins the enjoyment of the test for everyone else when none of this matters is also silly

[calm saddle]

Sure Leshrac sure, I too support your fanfiction, one day Tm will let you in 🙏

[gritty moon]

are you actually this stupid?

[grizzled widget]

Honestly, probably. The number of people I’ve seen repping Polar who flunked out of other guilds is crazy lol

[vague vortex]

not even the fun. the data for eco testing, so we need another wipe to test the eco.... but they will just dupe again and exploit

[gritty moon]

I mean fed has no criteria

[grizzled widget]

Polar really do take just about anyone by the looks of it

[inner prawn]

Of course he can be a zergling in Polar

[calm saddle]

no no guys, Polar still won't let him in yet, his deepthroating continues

[grizzled widget]

Like the number of third string players in the main Polar raids is WILD lol. I know the game has shrunk a bit but holy fuck have some standards

[gritty moon]

none of the guild have standards really

just say you're a crafter and welcome aboard

[inner prawn]

It's all a numbers game and who has the biggest zerg. There is no skill or depth to this game.

[grizzled widget]

Honestly true

[gritty moon]

crafting isnt even hard

[proud night]

At the 8v8 level its so painfully obvious who has hands and who doesn't

[gritty moon]

https://tenor.com/view/sooner-or-later-it-all-falls-apart-jack-monroe-chloe-decker-lauren-german-lucifer-gif-18408439

[inner prawn]

Hands or not it's just a zerg game if you want skill based combat play New World unfortunately.

[gritty moon]

i watched that last night, aint no skill in a 3 button mmo

if you want skill based combat you play street fighter

[inner prawn]

You are dumb if you think New World doesnt have skill based combat cause that's the only real MMO unfortunately that gear doesnt carry you.

[gritty moon]

if its a real mmo why did it die

[viral wagon]

does he actually believe any guild wants him? He cannot even hit 25 on a rogue over 5 months into the phase

[proud night]

Nw is souls like combat with training wheels its so horribly boring and tedious to play in feels like wet sand

[gritty moon]

why would I hit 25 when ive done 25 on the ptr?

[viral wagon]

Timmy's strongest soldier soon? Prayge

[gritty moon]

sorry i don't care about leveling in an alpha test when ptr testing exists :)

[viral wagon]

"I don't care about actually playing but will cope that popping a scroll on PTR will fool anyone. I totally can get into guilds, and FED totally didn't boot me. Trust me, bro" is all I'm seeing

[inner prawn]

Every MMO dies. I'm not saying NW is a good game but it has the best PVP combat in any game besides BDO and Archeage.

[calm saddle]

One day Timmy will let him in, I believe in Leshrac, the deepthroating will succeed 🙏

[inner prawn]

TNL has better combat than AoC.

[calm saddle]

I loved tnl combat, just a test to see who had the most flash waves

[steel plover]

tnl combat was so good

[flat furnace]

RuneScape is a 1 button MMO and still had skilled pvp.

[steel plover]

leshrac been riding polar's dick since the beginning of this phase hes really good at it he says its cuz he hates aura and supple but he literally defends polar every single time even against ppl that ARE NOT aura or supple, keep riding it king one day tmugsy is gonna thank you

[inner prawn]

Yea it's super weird

[violet lintel]

I’m still SO impressed people will test alpha and call it a game.

What are you onnnnnn??

u want me to explain what an ea is?

[violet lintel]

Nah, definitions are boring and obvious. I want you to explain how AoC is EA

@sharp citrus seems to agree, care to explain the “game” that is AoC currently?

p sure like every game almost in the last 5 years launches fully but calls their game EA XD

[bitter salmon]

Calling an ambulance and the mental hospital, clearly you are a sick otter with brain problems!

[violet lintel]

Access to what though, a game?

Please tell me you also have convinced yourself AoC is a game currently

[flat furnace]

Yes but not because of popcorn

[viral wagon]

If you call your game launch 'early access' you can dodge a lot of criticism. Doubly so when you falsely call it an Alpha

[bitter salmon]

Nah eating popcorn just shows it.

[flat furnace]

I try not to get hung up on labels since they aren't really important

[violet lintel]

Sounds like a bunch of hot air from the regular yappers, but no explanation of their whine. It’s stale popcorn, but it do still be smackin

I bought $100 entry tier 3 alpha thing days ago

[violet lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/avenida-brasil-carminha-adriana-esteves-tv-show-grave-gif-17098646

[sharp citrus]

Im testing the game, but im not really making a difference at this point so. I’m playing the game

[violet lintel]

And, roughly speaking, how complete would you assess the game is at this time, 80%? 50%?

[calm saddle]

Guys ur forgetting to always ignore purple names, life is easier when you don't feed into their copium over spending 5k on the game

[sharp citrus]

Complete in the sense of day 1 release, I obviously can’t tell just yet, but being an MMO I’d say about 20% maybe 30

[inner prawn]

Bro thinks Steven is gonna give him a cut of the scam.

[violet lintel]

[flat furnace]

Oh no not another one

[violet lintel]

I’m pointing out that folks buying in to “test an alpha” are convincing themselves that it’s a game rather than a testing environment. Claiming the “game” doesn’t have depth or strategy, and the humor found within this great mystery

[inner prawn]

Buying into early access

[sharp citrus]

I think it’s pretty fun so far and promising. I’m only a day in to the alpha and I gotta admit, all the videos shitting on it don’t do it justice. They burnt themselves out on a game that’s not a game it’s the testing period.

[violet lintel]

Bless this man ^

[sharp citrus]

But man the testing period is pretty fun so far. Gives me mmorpg anime vibes from the people I’ve met.

[violet lintel]

I love my Brazilian brothers and sisters

[sharp citrus]

The one thing I will say, I hope they add flying mounts available to more people. Maybe a 90 minute cooldown if they die or you unmount back to ur inventory

But still being a end tier item rare enough to feel like an achievement

[violet lintel]

Last I remember hearing, there will be roughly 12-15 flying mounts max

[fervent hound]

Life is simpler when you just assume all of them have severe mental illness

[bitter salmon]

They have said they want flying mounts to be super rare, and they do want to introduce "gliding" mounts at some point.

LF Delirium rats that are bitch made and running from the war, 1s rewards cuz rats aint worth shit

[wooden herald]

there is supposed to be 15 castles. iirc. that's 15 flyers right there

85 nodes, 15 castles. so maybe 6-7 t5 nodes. then the temporary flyers(rare)

[sharp citrus]

Yeah fk it I guess that’d be cool too. Just wish we could fly around

[mental tusk]

I think the island poi node whatever gets one too

[violet lintel]

15 castles eh?

Guild castles are one thing I was talking about flying mounts

[flat furnace]

Well there are also permanent flyers and temporary flyers

[violet lintel]

Isn’t it funny how they haven’t actually left, they just changed names?

[flat furnace]

Ya vasseling seems to work differently than originally pitched so I don't even know what the max lvl of max nodes is now

[violet lintel]

That’s fair, for being speculation

[wooden herald]

to be fair I don't really give a shit about a wiki with. "so and so said". it's called math and how current vassal chains work and what was expressed at total nodes. which is all speculation

[violet lintel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flat furnace]

If I'm not misremembering all this time later I believe it was originally said that 2 nodes the same size past t2 couldn't be beside each other but now we can have two t4s side by side as long as the vassels go in opposite directions

[wooden herald]

really depends on timing of individual node progress and node destruction

[flat furnace]

Right but that even says near and almost adjacent..... On PTR we had 2 right beside each other at 1 point

[violet lintel]

I would be a hypocrite if I considered even the PTR a direct representation of the game at launch

[flat furnace]

Ya and I suppose those were towns not cities so we still haven't seen wtf happens there

[violet lintel]

I hear ya, and it’s technically possible that could have been the recipe for the neighboring cities

the wiki is as outdated as the gameguard.

i think is to not allow ppl to wardec and finish the war within 5mins epdending on the area

indeed is a weird change and the timer needs to be changed for guild decs

[oblique fossil]

It rewards shit gameplay.

It should be at most 15 minute start up or less

[rough silo]

10min prep you can still kill but no point reward

[bitter salmon]

Warning Timer should be somewhat proportional to length of war and severity of consequences, 5-10 minutes for a guild war, an hour for a node war, two days for a node seige.

They are leveling Korrin. We let them hand in crates before taking the boat down, thats more than enough leniency imo

well now I'm pissed for a whole different reason..... don't let them level korrin we need windansea up

I guess it's fine if korrin goes up as long as shorefoot doesn't

[bitter agate]

I thought Shorefoot was gonna be Vassal from KT, then Brine was the pick

[flat furnace]

nope the only tropics node vasseled was brinebarrell

[bitter agate]

yeah, but I was expecting Shore or Vhalgadim

[flat furnace]

I was expecting intrepid to manually level a couple nodes when it became blatantly obvious that they had achieved 5x the amount of xp needed to pop and they just weren't calculating properly but here we are

[bitter salmon]

Why would the level the nodes when they can instead just have a scrapper bot collect the tears of people in discord and display them on a big display in the office?

[ruby lake]

It is what it is though

[flat furnace]

true but we've had people just walk away from the game in frustration over being told to grind a node or area and then it just doesn't even work and we are left with nothing

it's one thing for it to be bugged and not working..... thats fine it's an alpha and it isn't a new problem. They used to step in and actually fix the problem though and now they seem to have just given up and said fuck it who cares

[earnest garden]

This month is crunch time for nov. I dont expect many patches or handies out.

[ruby lake]

How about leveling a settlement and then getting told that they will
Be focusing settlements closer to the new player experience so you know that the likelihood of them addressing your area is farther out as hopeful requests of the testers to address things are ignored

[earnest garden]

Which in it's self is sad, but.. now I can relax and just fish.

oh I wouldn't expect anything if it was actual work but I know for a fact it's a 2 minute fix that 1 person can just log in and do because we've seen them do it live...... it's as simple as someone flipping a switch in this case or I wouldn't even mention it.

I don't think they even need to take the servers down to do it

We have to update for the most recent 2 percent earned but we are still keeping track of our settlement progress

[rough silo]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009

[ruby lake]

Over a month to level a settlement with the activity falling off because of talks of a wipe means without group effort ashes will fail for the anti group mentality some folks have and the Dev team needs to understand that every time they wipe it means player attrition and the “free data” us testers are doing will be shrinking more and more

Can not wait for the next round of phase 3 pack buy ins because testers are falling off due to resets

😏

[warped mural]

Thank god ive never made my guild work on nodes. Fuck that shit

[ruby lake]

It’s rough but it’s the testing they need to get right

[rough silo]

leveling a node is not meant to be 1 guild effort, specially when your guild cannot rally more than a raid to do thigns in sync.

[ruby lake]

We have more than one guild it’s just showing that ashes is Zerg focused

[rough silo]

Nova leveled halcyon in phase 2 with their peak of 200+ players actively pushing that node.

[warped mural]

Zerg is a relative term. In EVE online u have 200 people ur a small-mid size guild

[rough silo]

There is no solo content in the game for a player and when comes to nodes is 100% not meant to have progress by 50 ppl playing around it.

[ruby lake]

Just trying to use the bait words to stir up some convo hehe

[warped mural]

This game is built for a MUCH larger player pop

[rough silo]

Stop with shenanigans of two servers EU can barely sustain 1 node up LOL

[warped mural]

But they gotta find the balance

Devs just need stop reading discord.

[rough silo]

Forums/Reddit are worse.

[ruby lake]

They do have to find the balance, building for massive population when you can not hold that population of testers currently with talks of wipes and lack of longevity with ashes systems is where the mistakes are coming from.

Relying on sweat feedback bc they are loud is a horrible habit development of games have been going down for many years

[shrewd edge]

Well unfortunately nothing really changes when the node levels up.
The environment gets a bit more difficult but drops stay the same.
Prime example is NA minotaur island. Level 28 1 star minos still drop primarily adept gear.
The environment should scale appropriately. Maybe if they didn't rename items every two weeks loot tables would work right.

[inland crater]

You don’t understand, eu would have a little higher ping if they played on an na server. They need a dead server with good ping.

[rough silo]

[hasty gyro]

Think being able to level a node 0-3 should be extremely viable for any guild of decent size while also moving XP away from grinding mobs or gatherables and more of construction crates for buildings in the city ( Ex: Walls, wells, market, mayoral hall, etc etc) specifically for 0-3. 3-5 settlement levels is when grinding in the ZOIs should come more into effect so that if a singular guild does want to push it, it’s possible, just painful. And encouraging more people to said settlement = grows to 4 and 5 faster

While also hard locking flyers to level 4+ whenever they decide to mess with the settlement system ^^^

[rough silo]

What is a decent size? because avging 20members online for node push is not decent size.

[hasty gyro]

40+ I’d say would be minimum for decent size in my head. I stand by the opinion 0-3 should be more crates than mob grinding/gathering otherwise places like WS/Mira/Joeva/NA will always be funnel points. Guilds like Otter/Emberbeards/Dunhold should be able to viably run crates to whatever node they want to level up if that’s their game loop they choose to go down. After level 3 is when grinding and gathering should be the way to push for the towns/metros

[rough silo]

I mean me and you are saying the same numbers am not just going on details because icba.

[hasty gyro]

Nah wasn’t arguing was just giving opinion on nodes in hopes devs actually read it after the 10th time I’ve mentioned the 0-3 process lol

Building up a node makes more sense construction crate wise as well rather than grinding enough and out randomly pops tents or an entire village with minimal crates needed like it currently is

[rough silo]

This phase to me still feels like a regress compared to 2.5/2.0. ( 2.5 things were bad )

[hasty gyro]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1307815087716831384/1424492666879742113/aoc_p2.gif

(The fact i’m holding P2 with all its issues on a pedestal is sad)

[rough silo]

Crate system good implementation but 100% safety is/was dumb, hunting is still one of the worst fucking gathering professions that even mentioning makes me wanna hop into a tub with a toaster on, 2 server because EU is a bunch of cry babys over ping but they cannot progress further than 1 node of riverlands, the list goes on ( drops n etc ).

[hollow monolith]

whats wrong with 3k matts to make a wep? and when you have to make it lego you have to hit 10k rocks/trees? Also whats wrong with 0 drops so everyone farms 24/7 and there is 0 friction in the game and its 25g for a guild dec which gold is worth more now?

[hasty gyro]

First time in almost a year I haven’t gotten on Ashe’s in 1-2 weeks Still got my hopium

[hollow monolith]

you dont look forward to gathering?

[rough silo]

Didnt you take a break 2.5 ? We all did in the "end"

[hasty gyro]

Still hopped on now and then to duel/fuck around/ptr

[south lynx]

its ok im leveling a bard in your honor

[hollow monolith]

I know they will fix it in Nov but at least slash the material cost

[hasty gyro]

Was hoping summoner woulda been more fun but it’s just ebt wow warlock. So bard will be my main for p3.1 whenever that drops

[south lynx]

im def still going summoner tbh i have faith it wont feel THAT bad on live

[rough silo]

Waitong on TMX unban huh

[south lynx]

hes been unbanned for a while it was just a 7 day

why are the rings on the wrong side wtf

[south lynx]

Have you not logged in the last couple weeks? Or week? i forget

[earnest canopy]

i havent logged in since early 2.5 lol

[south lynx]

well there you go

[earnest canopy]

i could tell p3 was gonna be ass by the way 2.5 was going lol. letting them cook and hopefully it gets better

[bitter salmon]

So can anyone tell me what number of people it should take to level a node to the various sizes that are described on the wiki?

And if so, can you tell me why dunhold or any of the nodes outside of the riverlands can't be leveled?

Honestly if they are just going to half ass settlement development and mob placement like they have, why are they not just lawless zones?

They are just wasted space right now.

[lapis pike]

In other games I've played, the new zones added to an Alpha aren't typically very good for several months. And those games were a lot less complex than Ashes

Seems to be the approach of many game devs. I'm sure there is good reason for it

[kindred wadi]

@hasty gyro

What’s up

[bitter salmon]

Except they have made the situation worse in the desert at least, I recall 4 out of 6 nodes in the dessert getting to stage 3.

Damnit what did polar do this time?!

[flat furnace]

I heard they were exploiting both albion and wow private servers

[short timber]

I heard they caused a BSOD to all BF6 players!

[lapis pike]

Several times

[rugged apex]

what do you think is the biggest improvement or most fine tuned system intrepid has introduced in the last 12 months

[stable rose]

their reporting players system. their ability to get performance stabilized in a timely manor. actually getting the alpha to a playable/testable state would be the biggest

[covert chasm]

coincidentally, the most hated polar feature

[vague vortex]

ploar so mad most of them are suspended they DDOS the server that they quit cause they "won" the phase already

[mental tusk]

Are you asking for systems while they’re focused on developing content first?!

They’re literally reducing systems so they can easily push out content without so many issues. Why do you think freeholds got deleted?! Tons of bugs and issues that can be put on the back burner but hey let’s ask people’s opinion on stuff that’s not even on their calendars to work on 🤦‍♂️

Them removing metros (I miss metros v.v) was basically a godsend for development speed since they had to create content exponentially per node due to different levels.

But hey I guess that’s only a perspective someone who hasn’t been banned can have. WHERE ARE NEW SYSTEMS?!?

It’s a shame that it’s literally gonna just bounce off his brain rotted sponge in his head rather than actually make any productive perspective shift for his young little melon in his noggin 🤦‍♂️

ya im a victim of winning phase 3 im so upset

bro dont even type to me ur legit not even good enough to talk to me like hello

[rugged apex]

Oh a supple victim, you were brutally shit on the entire phase. I quit the phase after dominating it so badly intrepid had to step in.

Ngl if I was a supple victim after losing 120v30 multiple times I’d find another hobby.

Crazy to ever call yourself a PvP guild when the only tactic was to Zerg and buy gold.

Was ez work tho, prob the worst guild to come to AOC. Gl in Nov tho.

[bitter crow]

low skilled commuinity

[stable rose]

dude you got character wiped. you lost. get outta here

[rugged apex]

Another random victim you guys need to make a club or some shit

[severe quartz]

my vote for best new system is probably the crates that replaced the old ones you bought with glint. I think it’s cool how they looped it in with all the materials systems and the crafting system. craterunning itself sucks and they need to make caravans great again, and they need to rebalance glint’s use in the system. but the general idea of being able to woodchipper mats of various rarities + encourage citizens to trade with noncitizens for good certificates is actually really good for a healthy long term economy.

[bitter crow]

COMPETITIVE GAMING ISNT FOR POLAR PLZ SAVE YOUR GUILD AND START ONLY PVEING ITS A GREAT WAY TO FIND OUT THE MECHANICS AND MOVEMENTS I THINK YOU WILL DO OK

[stable rose]

victim? lmfao i never saw you in game. oh wait cause you got deleted for cheating.

correct. there are no plans for a fresh or a wipe.

were gonna have a fresh wipe for the 500 players that still play ya makes sense

I would think if anything, wipe mid spring. And mega server again. Maybe. Who knows. Maybe tmx has superior knowledge.

[rugged apex]

• marg leak
• they are advertising for the game starting in Nov
• new class
• new massive patch + systems
• this phase was bricked with rampant overlays, rmt, and other various issues.

We’re getting a fresh for sure

[bitter crow]

oh were actually coped up

[rugged apex]

You don’t spend money advertising with out a fresh plus they talked about how they were disappointed with this phase and the Econ / leveling they wanna lock that in asap. Before Beta

[stable rose]

she didn't leak.
yes they're advertising - doesn't mean a new server
new class - yea no new server. rogue didn't.
massive patch + systems? yea that need testing in the current phase. doesn't mean a new server.
this server was bricked by polar cheats

[bitter crow]

all good just shows what a good lil boi mugsy is, such a submissive fella

[rugged apex]

The overlay stuff was really sad. The fact that supple went so fast to cheating was insane to me.

Our fist encounter with them in carph was particularly memorable.

They couldn’t PvP us or war us off the event so they full zerged the spot and had a bunch of members using auto clickers with an auto hotkey scripts.

This was very common in TNL for chest runs but uncommon in ashes up to this point.

We were able to counter it using bards to knock them away but was really disappointing to move that fast to outside the game actions.

The overlay stuff also insane idk how many of them were actually using it but it was Deff passed around unfortunately.

[rugged apex]

Ya just hopefully they can have it done by Nov they have been pretty bad on making dates

[slate current]

Hold up. Do you honestly think that intrepid is going to advertise to new players, and NOT have a fresh start? They're going to have thousands of new players come into a 3+ month old server that had people free farming static rarity nodes with rarity pips that are no longer available to the same new players joining. Intrepid absolutely will not be advertising for new players without a fresh start server. Thinking otherwise is legitimately fucking delusional.

[rugged apex]

GOOD CURRENTLY GANKING

[gusty dawn]

And here we see a polar player in its natural habitat. Come to suckle at the teet of its overlord god king tmx. Notice how it just parrots the unfounded musings of its master.

[brittle bramble]

Hold up. Do you honestly think that intrepid is going to advertise to new players, and NOT have a fresh start? They're going to have thousands of new players come into a 3+ month old server that had people free farming static rarity nodes with rarity pips that are no longer available to the same new players joining. Intrepid absolutely will not be advertising for new players without a fresh start server. Thinking otherwise is legitimately fucking delusional.

[slate current]

I love how I literally ask if somebody thinks intrepid would advertise to new players, in this shit economy, and not fresh start, and pedwin immediately comes in attacking me for my polar tag. I'd ask the same fucking question if I wasn't in polar too. It appears that common sense isn't that fucking common.

[brittle bramble]

common sense isnt amongst these people. one day after they learn to read, they can learn how to read the writing on the wall

[calm saddle]

common sense isn't that common
surprised he gets attacked for having a Polar tag
seemingly forgets most of AoC hates Polar for many reasons, some good, some not
Either way, I think a fresh start both makes sense and doesn't make sense, who knows what they'll do

nah fr imagine bringing up common sense and not reading the fucking room lmao like come on Seetsuma ur usually smarter then this

[brittle bramble]

the sky is blue, go ahead and roast my opinion because of my polar tag. thats about as much sense as your making

[slate current]

Oh I'm not surprised. It's fucking pedwin. Dude can't post 2 things without mentioning his dislike for polar.

[calm saddle]

If you want to demean or diminish the dozen+ various reasons people have to hate Polar, then be my guest, but that doesn't invalidate them either, that just makes you look delusional about your guild's standing in the community

[gusty dawn]

Just callin the trash as I see it ❤️

[calm saddle]

oh yeah Pedwin has serious hate boner and I think he's a bit of a clown for it, but its the hill he dies on

[slate current]

On a serious note though, fresh starts absolutely coming. I just hope that they fix all the economy shit before the fresh start, otherwise it's a pointless server.

[stable rose]

I think they're better off not giving a fresh because then you have a real picture for launch in how players coming in to the game say a year after launch react because the launch servers won't be wiped at all maybe once in a blue moon. They're better off fixing things and doing a fresh or wipe about June next year or half way through p3.

[calm saddle]

You actively still support a GM that had his character deleted for exploiting when he knowingly took advantage of systems he shouldn't of, but yeah go off, your high horse ain't so high either

[brittle bramble]

i could crawl along the earth and still be above you

[gusty dawn]

Real talk, it doesn't make any sense at this juncture to wipe. Do i think a wipe needs to happen? Yea eventually, but not till static rarity is sorted, and probably not till we see how the new fishing system impacts the economy. Otherwise we're just gonna end up right back where we are. So advertising or not, a wipe would be a silly move right now

[calm saddle]

That possibility ended the day you joined Polar because you decided to side with the fuckheads that no one likes and think you're above the hypocrisy and nonsense some of your guys intentionally caused.

[slate current]

I'd normally agree, but there was SO much shit that's broken the economy this phase. Gear drops were removed after very few people had them (this coming from somebody who still has carphin weapons), static rarity was a thing, rarity pips were a thing, crate movement speed was drastically nerfed AFTER thousands benefited from them being faster, tons of gear was crafted before it should have been, or with less mats than they should have been.

[gusty dawn]

Right but we have more things coming in that are just going to break things further. And wiping repeatedly is just going to drive players off more than likely

[calm saddle]

^ part of the issue. Wiping too much when the leveling is a shit experience just makes people not wanna keep releveling. I get that its alpha, but even if they wipe, people are gonna exploit or find stuff to break anyways with the new blood coming in and they're gonna quit anyways? So idk what the best path here is.

[gusty dawn]

Where was it confirmed. If you show me proof I'll respect it. But if it's just the word of tmx I'm gonna clown on you again

[stable rose]

Oh I'm well aware of all the stuff that happened and agree with everythingon the broken economy.
. I'd much rather the devs take their time fixing things and doing it right and not having to wipe or fresh start for the rest of the phase. November is wayy to close of a crunch time for a fresh. Heck new years would be a better date. Let them get data from harbingers first. Then wipe/fresh start or wipe the economy and gear.
Either way I'd rather the devs not burn out this close to Christmas ( I know its a little over 2 months away but in game development it feels closer)

[gusty dawn]

Yea new years would be a solid time for that

[stable rose]

Correct. I only get 2-3 hours a day. If I'm lucky I might get a broken up 5 hours. If they wiped or fresh start servef every, say 3 months, then there'd be no incentive for me to keep testing. And that's only me as a single person, I know a few others thatd rather cone back at beta than go through another level grind

[calm saddle]

Yeah I'm not really committing to aoc again until beta, the leveling sucks

[topaz void]

get better groups to level with frfr

[slate current]

I'd honestly love a fresh start whether they double the exp gains for like 3-4 weeks.

[calm saddle]

Ain't about the groups, though groups help. Its just the time it takes. Shit drags, man. Leveling pvp is based though, but most people aren't about that life

[stable rose]

Not only that but once you fall behind the main levelling ball even by 2 weeks , its hard to find even a pug group at 10. Granted the poi drop change stuffed the levelling experience as well

[gusty dawn]

@slate current we just gonna leave this hanging in the air? Cmon man. That was me extending an olive branch. Show me you aren't just another tmx fan boy and that you can think for yourself

[calm saddle]

just let me get powerleveled by my 25 friends MAN PLEASE STEVEN MAKE THIS LESS MISERABLE

[stable rose]

If they did that I'd be happy. 3-4 weeks for the first character created. Any other character would be normal xp rate

[gusty dawn]

We all knew about the advertising. So I'd love to see proof of the fresh start that isn't conjecture or frankly illegal. Tbh you could literally be lying and just claiming data mining in an attempt to give credibility where there is none

[topaz void]

instead of talking about when a fresh start isnt happening, when do yall think a wipe will drop

[earnest garden]

Mid spring.

[gusty dawn]

Proof.

[stable rose]

Honest. Wipe when the level cap and secondary archetypes are in. By then economy should be fixed.

Let it all burn now for a better experience later

[slate current]

Logically though. Would you advertise to new players without a new server? Would you come into a new game at level 1 while people have 350+ power and it costs 80+ gold for a single gear piece?

[gusty dawn]

Because you don't have proof.

[slate current]

There's a difference between not having proof, and not incriminating yourself, or others, just to prove that you're right to a single random person on the internet.

Edit: you also ignored my question on logic surrounding the advertising that you yourself admit is happening in November, and an accompanying fresh start server.

So 1. That tells me you are actively protecting, thus supporting a data miner if what you say is true.
2. If you don't post proof we have no reason to believe you.
3. Advertising doesn't mean fresh start and Margaret herself said it doesnt.

Bro. EU literally got a separate server THIS PHASE because all 71 of them asked for it. You're high as hell if you think they aren't doing a fresh start when advertising to brand new players😂

[shy bluff]

If there's gonna be a wipe in Nov they have a lot of things to fix on top of all the new shit they are dropping or we are just gonna end up in the same place we are right now. Needing another wipe lol.

Plus there is a lot of data to be gathered by bringing new players into an already established world/economy (regardless of how fucked it currently is).

Chances are they could be looking at if/how a server can balance and recover after having the economy fucked like it has been.

There will be new content release for those that have already levelled, and it's an opportunity for those players to also craft for and support the new players coming in..
The server has somewhat begun to stabilise in the last week or two now that the rest of players are catching on to just how important the artisan system is to do anything in the game.

We definitely need a wipe/fresh start, but I can't seem it making any improvement over what we have right now. Let Harbingers and summoner drop and run its course for a couple of months then look at a wipe imo

Hello shootingstar

[rugged apex]

Biggest reason for a wipe is testing the initial Econ and fixing static clusters. Currently ppl sitting at 375 power bc of static clusters

[gusty dawn]

Mans literally just hoping for a wipe so his ban will be lifted lol

[rugged apex]

Serious question do you think replying to ppls messages in a negative way does anything?

You just come off as obsessed and sad. Giving off heavy Reddit freak vibes. Don’t worry about replying I blocked you. I hope your life improves fr 🙏🏻

Well be back in Nov get your booster ready!

[glacial crow]

🤓 we won but got banned and reset a week later

share the CS Dms please

[rugged apex]

CS DMs?

[glacial crow]

As fun as this was TMX i have a hot date and a Lambo to drive hope your guild figures it out soon and decides to play the game again night buddy

[topaz void]

We know you want your swipes on the game to be worth it this phase you don’t need to tell us

[grizzled magnet]

TM how do you feel about the fact that srixun is taking a page from the phase 2 playbook and destroying benches in winstead to gatekeep the average player's progress? I recall srix always pretended he was better than that

[rugged apex]

Oh you want my appeal

[rugged apex]

We never actually did that. I just wanted the trade b to stay in azmaran bc we ran our main route through there

But he’s really weird im not surprised by anything he does. I suggest blocking that guy and never interacting with him. He does very weird and imo dangerous things.

[grizzled magnet]

he's kinda unhinged, definitely not good mayor material

[grand cove]

polar won p3 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[shy bluff]

Yeah I totally get that and I'm all for it. That requires them to have static fixed and not keep changing up the drop rates of gear every 2nd week. Or we will be right back where we are now and less people will be back in after the wipe

[grizzled magnet]

I would support a wipe ONLY if static and crafting is fixed. The game in its current state is the worst it has ever been

[rugged apex]

Yea totally agree rarity is a non negotiable fix. I’d like to see an established end game loop as well…

The new patch needs to get up on ptr asap tho or there’s gonna be massive issues

[grizzled magnet]

The fishing loop if implemented correctly will be an excellent start to the endgame pvp loop

[rugged apex]

I really hope they decide to do just one continent and finish/ fill this out and get the game in state it can launch by fall 2026

But that’s prob unlikely

[bitter crow]

Polar doesnt want pvp they want static rariety fixed low skilled guild btw

Ngl you’re both cringe for arguing over winning an alpha test with next to zero functional gameplay systems, lol.

I’ll also leave these here in case you start yapping about us taking phase 2 seriously or some shit.

Your guild has always been fucking cringe yapping in these channels about winning when you just surrender wars when you don’t have people online or just war dec guilds at 4 am, ganking AFKs and crafters, and log off when you get 20 kills.

Look forward to seeing you guys continue to be a laughing stock in November, honestly.

[grizzled widget]

Who likes static rarity spawns

[bitter crow]

you care way to much

[grizzled widget]

About static rarity spawns? I don’t like abusing visual bugs because everyone else does. Kinda ruins the game for me. Honestly haven’t logged in since that became common knowledge

Would rather it just involve hitting rocks or trees and it’s a percentage roll based on your gathering gear/tool stats

I don’t even care if there’s a ton of legendary mats floating around. But the fact that it makes gathering gear basically pointless is incredibly stupid

[oblique fossil]

I honestly think they should stick with the visual cue for uncommon up gatherables. It's kinda fun

[grizzled widget]

I don’t mind a visual cue designating common vs rarity spawns like with daffodils, but legendary spawns being static is actually dumb as fuck

[warped mural]

[grizzled widget]

Sometimes you do just want common mats for fuel

[warped mural]

Your supposed to gather with your eyes closed. Reported

We have since learned that phase 3 has even less content.

There’s prob less than 3-4 decent players in dlrm

Same with eclipse the enveus spin off guilds were a mistake

[pulsar shard]

eclipse was bangin last phase but youre only as good as your last fight right. i just got back so we will see whats up now. I heard @balmy mortar is bangerangington now and pushed my guilds shit in when i was away

[rugged apex]

That would be surprising but I have not kept up with cats at all. This last phase was disappointing for large scale zero guilds wanted to fight us just giga dodge meta

[pulsar shard]

theyd rather have no content than risk losing

[rugged apex]

U hear about why I got deleted ?

[pulsar shard]

vote logoff, gather, logoff, oh siege log off, war dec, log off lol

idk the exact details aside from there being some packs that were boosted or something

• 1:39 PM - Yellow reaches out to Plannindorf about the DR reset
• 1:39 PM - TM reaches out to Roshen to ask if this is intentional, Roshen responds by saying it's a natural part of the process, tm follows up sharing that he made 400g in profit, Roshen said it didn't sound intentional and that he would follow up if they had any additional questions
• 1:53 PM - Our primary dm posts changes made to the crate turnin formula, we conclude while the DR change is likely unintentional, the overall change seems good to offset processing costs
• 1:59 PM - TM reached out to plannin asking about the DR and for Plannin, Plannin responded by saying he'd ask
• 2:06 PM - Yellow reaches out to Plannin corroborating that we thought it over and it seemed like a good change to offset processing

• 2:28 PM - Rival guild members accuse us of launching 216 crates in a single caravan

• 3:10 PM - Rival guild members begin to threaten leaking negative social media posts and unfavorable interviews unless tm is banned
• 3:23 PM - Roshen reaches out and asks TM how to reproduce the crate packing bug, TM joins call to explain it and shows the DR formulas we datamined, and sends them to Roshen directly
• 4:19 PM - POLAR confirmed and TM communicated to Roshen that with turn ins, the DR was going back down
• 5:09 PM - Margaret posts her update in ashes news
• 5:09 PM - No additional crates are sold until the rollback occurs

[pulsar shard]

just who tf cares, play the game, PVP have fun do whatever you do, run your guild and just enjoy the alpha while its here. Give feedback to make it better

[pulsar shard]

leaking social media posts and unfavorable interviews

thats the suss part

[pulsar shard]

STFU dude you are in a mega nutcup carebear ass zerg you twat non factor

[rough silo]

Sorry?

[pulsar shard]

idk why the supple people give a shit, they just got here. go pvp and enjoy

[calm saddle]

Didn't they take Tms caravan and it literally popped out a fuckton of crates like a pinata or something to that effect

[pulsar shard]

"We going ham on socials" so lovely

[rough silo]

Am glad that a conversation that can be 100% private you guys take into public and am just here reading and vibing.

[calm saddle]

Fairly confident I remember ss' being posted like crazy from Supple showing all the crates that dropped

[pulsar shard]

yea cause were not little bitches about it, I too was sick of reading polar being talked about and their members non stop yap, but im not running to threaten the devs about social media impact. If you dont like them then war them, shit on them, make them bleed members from getting shit on and put them down.

[rugged apex]

24 slot epic dragontree caravan

[rough silo]

Am I threating something? huh

[pulsar shard]

i honestly dont give a flying fuck if any of you are exploiting, i will still fight in game, fought enveus and nova ordem all the time over the past year

[rugged apex]

supple literally ruined the game for themselves they were getting completely shit on and removed any chance of them being able to fight back. But tbh as cringe as supple is intrepid should of never taken the bait and thats the scary part

[calm saddle]

Purple is just all about the fights from what I know about you guys, you keep it simple, but most of the game and the populace ain't so simple

[pulsar shard]

no youre just this guy who chimes in on everything yapping but saying nothing

[rough silo]

You really think that?

[pulsar shard]

i think you definitely are part of the peanut gallery yea

[rough silo]

Cool whatever that means.

[pulsar shard]

look it up bin chicken

[rugged apex]

it means you speak about things you dont have to do with or lack knowledge on the subject

[rough silo]

Yea because am the one that sits in the discord instead of playing...

[rugged apex]

Ok I have 5000 hours in AoC do you think you have played more than me?

[pulsar shard]

its actually a racist phrase we commonly use in the USA @rough silo

[ruby lake]

Only 5000 sheesh 😏 😉

[rough silo]

Oh am not comparing myself to the might Mugsy, I only started phase 2 sadly am ranking up to more than 2.5k hours right now....

[rough silo]

Unlike Steven I appreciate your time in the game I just wish you were a little less pick me but it comes with the character so I understand...

[rugged apex]

I think steven appreciates me and my guild as well. But we are often used and abused to make the masses happy.

[rough silo]

I agree with some of your takes and feedback but then again you build the nice fresh "concrete" just to fill it with tar most of the time. Tar is sadly hard to remove...

[pulsar shard]

all these kids are allied, its like vyra phase 1

[rugged apex]

At world bosses it was polar vs supple amnesty ebc it was legit 30v100 I couldn’t believe it

[rough silo]

Hey man if you want pvp all you have to do is throw a dec.

[ruby lake]

Polar as a guild has helped unify and create the world as a political and polarizing atmosphere and honestly I think that is where ashes shines

[slate current]

all i know is that the ddosing didnt start until supple got here (this phase). and it coincidently didnt start until polar started to node war dec aura and supples nodes.

[rough silo]

I mean ppl been breaking into their json files for 2 phases... EAC is garbage...

[slate current]

apparently, you can literally just close eac after ashes launches lol

[rough silo]

Yea nothing new.... This overlay shit aint new either... Shit detecting distance of resources/rarity been here for a while...

[pulsar shard]

who tf cares

[rough silo]

The company "should" care because the avg joe is what fills the game not the sweaty bois like us

[slate current]

its wild to me that games CONTINUE to put critical data client side. tarkov had the same problem with putting all of their loot client side, so cheats had a super easy time finding the loot and marking it in game. it wasnt until they swapped it server side that the cheating reduced drastically.

[pulsar shard]

if you cheat in an alpha youre a mong, devs will continue to update game and prevent these things

[ruby lake]

Let’s have the convo of where rpers help bring life to the server shall we? 😉

[pulsar shard]

there will always be cheaters, every game

[slate current]

people will do anything to get ahead, even in an alpha. its why rmt exists right now lol

[rough silo]

Should just close development till 2026

[pulsar shard]

yea but like, whatever, thats life, thats games. fuck it
