Yeah no idea. I wish they would post here when they update things etc. Some of us like me do not use discord and the official website is useless.

They don't even announce them in discord in advance. At best it might be 30 minutes. The only thing consistent is that they keep pushing "fixes" that break two other things and thus requires another "fix" the next day. There's a lot of bug reports in the discord so expect some sort of "fix" against next week.

Honestly, the reason i think they didn't announce or put notes for that update was because it was an update to the PVP server and they didn't want to be seen as putting resources into PVP.

Wildddd how you assume so much about the devs and their supposed strategy of smoke & mirrors and lies lmaoo. 🤭🤭🤭

I don't understand why there is such a major push back for dev time spent on a core gameplay design.

IMO:
1) Replace asset store everything with in-house made assets. Do not add more things until what you've got is completely yours, and it's good.
2) Stop developing new classes. Flesh out the current classes.
3) Further develop crafting, PVP mechanics, and general feel of how the game plays.
4) Release actual road maps with measurable and achievable goals.

They need to focus and dial in what they've got and grow from there. Sure, the player base will drop off hard, but they don't really NEED a giant player base. They NEED good content and a foundation to build off of.

PS: Joppa the cleric is lame. Fix it. You said you would.

because for the last 10 years they've been saying, adamantly, that this is not a pvp game, that they will not devote resources to pvp, that this is intentionally a cooperative pve rpg.

and no one is surprised, because VR is incapable of keeping their word, or having a backbone against peer pressure.

these idiots tried to make an MMO into an extraction battle royale.

because pvp is nothing but toxic douche bags who split communities, create strife, and who think it is their RIGHT to exploit and cheat as much as possible for every in game advantage they can.

these are EXACTLY the kinds of players no one wants to play games with. exactly the kinds of gamers mmos have spent 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years getting away from.

the pvp this game offers has no structure, no value, no purpose other than for little boys with little pvpnises to run around and act tough like a lord of the flies fantasy because they have no agency in their real lives.

WDYM? I've only been playing for like two months and I've seen them deliver on many things (e.g. Druid class, PvP, Updated graphics) in that short time. 😲😲😲
