If Starvault had more team members (as they explain in the blogs), they'd probably have some more content for release, but regardless, I'm going to wait on this game.
If you believe skill is spending hours in a preset world with preset conditions and pressing 1 on your keyboard waiting for your cooldown to refresh then you obviously have no idea what skill is.
Don't write off the sandbox model yet WoW kid. Ultima Online, which was one of the first graphical MMOs, was a very successful sandbox MMO which this game strives to model its sandbox like features after. No rules. Just play.
Good one man. The beta argument has been overused since Anarchy Online, it's an argument that has always failed, no game fixed at launch what peeps complained about and what fanboys defended with the Beta argument.
I'll wait for a solid game like TOR, GW2, and Tera, while playin APB till then.
Wow, you're talking about a BETA.. A BETA! To me it seems like you're just very ignorant concerning this stuff. So please, stop making reviews where you act like you know anything about this game, it's silly. You're just making it even harder for Starvault - Way to go! Moron...
@hillehai We like to call people like you fanboys, yes I am here to make it hard for Starvault you know why? So they don't pass off a bad game as a good one and trick consumers into buying it.
I was hoping to see that this game is or will be better than Darkfall, but it seems that I will stick in the Darkfall longer than I thought. That's a shame...
Anyway, money isn't a problem, so I can give it a try after it is fully released.
horrible review. The game is based on UO, which is a perfect sandbox. As well if you wanna deal with grievers you have to make clans, like they did in the Old UO to counter-pks/thieves. The game is based on player interaction, not npc interaction.
I have played this on and off since block D, didnt play for a while and came back today. I know they have just had a major overhaul because of the new Unreal engine, and to help DeSync blah blah blah. But seriously the game was 10x worse than it was 2 months ago, laggier than i have ever seen it, everything turned off, by which i mean NO STORAGE!!!!!! I know were testing, but if theres that little to do what the fuck are we supposed to test. And all this a matter of weeks before release, come on
I remember when they launched that first trailer. Thats when i started to follow it on there website. I love how the history doesn't repeat itself. But i havent played it. It sounds like this game is more of a sim then it is a... game. I have played darkfall and i love that game! Darkfall is awesome. Do u have a darkfall review?
wen i joined this game i saw some gameplay on youtube and i almost shit my pants, it looked so great, i spend like 20 min creating my perfect starting character, and they dropped me in the town and i was lost. I asked a few people, they didnt answer, i asked some other people, and they killed me, and when i died, i had to walk 10 fucking minutes a priest, and another 10 back to the city, and still got no answers
this is such a disappointment for me. we haven't seen a decent sandbox since eve online (which I refuse to play on the basis that I don't want to have to wait 2 days to level a skill up). and the guy is right, this game had such potential by going into a genre that wow couldn't possibly do. I just hope they can deliver when the game is (IF it is) released.
This guys review is pure truth, i am block A also, i dont want any game to fail ( except games made by Funcom ) but the only thing good to say about MO is the graphics are nice looking, nothing else...Darkfall needs alot of changes but its 100x better, and its failing..so MO is failing 100x more.
MO is a giant sandBUG in alpha fase needing competent coders and 1-2-3 more years of work.
My leading question to you is - how do you compare the UO 97 beta where nothing worked and you couldn't do anything to the Mortal Online beta? I walked from Covetus to Trinsic in Jan 98 and it took me 95 minutes. The dungeons were a mess and the monsters jumped half a screen. You'd die from invis. ghouls and Origin almost bankrupted cause they couldn't control the great lag that lasted all to feb. Now the UO fans talk about "Old school" and referring to 2002 UO. Never talk without knowledge.
This game has a structure , there is planty to do in it even tho some content is still missing - you just fail to see that w/o tutorials , npcs that will guide you throu the game.
As for player skills and dull combat i just loled - you must have failed so badly at it if you think that way.There is no xx skills like in other games to use in combat BUT you need to aim your hits , you need to manage your stamina well to kill someone or to not be killed.But for you those things = no skill lol.
I highly doubt you've been following the game longer then everyone who watches this video. This, by common logic, tells me you're an ignorant fucktard. I won't continue, as my big words and grammar would just further confuse you.
Have a nice day, Mr. Hugeeyebrowbeaniehatandglasses
I subscribed, but you need to do an other one. You didnt talk about the melee combat system and this is what i want to hear mainly.
PErsonally, i dont care if its a huge battlefield world, but it had to be fun. I tried the beta and there is really nothing, but like i said, a huge battlefield world is what im looking for.
Do you still play with the starter sword or axe? Those starter weapon give bad 1st impression to the melee combat system. They are too slow. Go near a bank keeper, ask someone to craft you a weapon. Then, you will see how great melee is.
In the mortal online forum, they discuss about combat a lot. The devs are listening and read suggestions made by player. They are working on it and its beta. So maybe one day, it will be perfect. Hopefuly before release.
@MadnessRealm I played it during beta and at launch on a friends account, and at that time it was probably one of the worst MMOs I have ever played in my very existence (no joke) here on earth. IF my buddy still plays I will hop on his account and try it out again.
@Psychronicle Yeah I remember the state of the DarkFall beta. It wasn't the worse I've ever seen but it was bad yeah. But every since December, positives reviews of the gaming have become increasingly more common so I got a little curious when you mentionned DarkFall there for a second.
To all the haters, Xeros AKA Psychronicle, AKA my hero <3 made a very good review because he's right! He may be a negative person, but he's right! there's nothing there!!! xD
That was totally spot on. As a fellow fan of MO I agree with pretty much everything you say here. What I don't like about the current fanbase is that no one really addresses these issues. "It's beta!". Yeah, right.
I have only watched 1:57 seconds of your shitty review and I can tell you , no you havn't played since block A. If you had you would know how the game actually works and apparently you do not. If you did you would know thieves cannot take your ore over 500+. You would also specify what kind of ore you are mining. And there is much more to do then just mine. Too much bullshit to be a valid review at only 1:57. Try again when you actually know wtf your talking about.
@TheOuroboros84 hmm looks like the wow children come in full force. This guys review is horrible and for him to claim he was in since before block A is a strait lie.
My re-review is coming out soon. This one was kinda weak and I agree, I'm taking my time with the next one. And I have the 152th Collectors Edition for MO that sold out in like 15 minutes come pre-order. I participated in Block A, B, C, D and stopped playing for a bit and game back for open beta and soon release.
I agree, developers often talk more than they deliver, but actually in the case of Star Vault. Even if it takes some time, they actually come up with some really good solutions, even if their first version of a solution isn't perfect done, but after it's balanced up the result becomes really good.
Even if you notice that an item suddenly disappear, you can expect the thief to run away directly and you will have a problem to catch him anyway if he did that from behind.
So thiefs have to stand behind and first snoop in a position so no one can see the snop animation. They have to choose the right time and spot. Then the thief pilf (steal). When that is done he run away.
You're relying too much on developers, I learned after playing four failed MMOs in a row to take what they say with a grain of salt. The game is getting better, but only by a bit. Actions speak louder than words.
1. You can build houses, bridges, keeps, palisades.
2. Thieving added.
3. Magic added and in the last patch 3 more spells was added.
4. More mobs have been added. And only 1/3 of the mobs are in. Now they can add more because the new AI is in. In other MMO's the AI just do the following when a player come close ... Ignore him or attack. In MO ... the mob can also flee ...
Houses are super expensive at the moment, I believe it's 10,000,000 cuprum, and lots of mats are required. I mean it was fine before, but they fucked with the values. Magic is bugged big time, sometimes you can't even cast/pre-cast spells even with the reagents in your inventory. Mob AI is still retarded. Melee has been improved, but still needs an overhaul. Crafting is the strong point of this game, but we've had times where it would bug and we lose our shit. My re-review is coming soon.
I agree, as Mortal Online is now it is not worth your time or money. However since it's just beta we will see what happens. If your going for Ultima Online 3D gameplay check out Darkfall, it's much better.
I see lots of people ingame having fun. I having lots of fun. But it can't be a game for everyone. It's getting better and better for everypatch. It's lots more stable now and bugs are fixed. More content is now added on each patch.
I wanted to believe this game was gonna be awesome. Just get your money back and play Darkfall. They now have the $1 free trial :) Thanks for the great video :)
Unless someone has max thieving, it will notify you most the time that you've been stolen from. I like to run with my inventory open so I can see if someone stole from me. The Thieving system is broken now, thieves make piss poor money and it comes to solely on luck rather than skill/timing.
Not sure what this 'structure' in EVE is. You mean the 'new player experience' they added last year? EVE has no real content and no guiding except maybe those.
As for stealing,I used to play UO, and stealing really gave the game another dimension. I didn't get the whinning about this(especially from coming from an EVE player). If you don't like being stolen, then kill the person who's stealing from you or mine somewhere else, like remote.
Anyway, I might give MO a try some time in the future.
Spot on review.When I tried this made my character entered world and I was like wtf?You have to run about a mile before you come to anything,then that something turns out to be nothing but some random vendors.
Will check the game out again when released but in it's current state I wouldnt touch it with barge pole.
Awesome review Psychronicle, fanbots will attack you but the current open beta is a disaster. Starvault has no clue what they are doing, 8 months I have been in the beta and its been the worst closed/beta experience I have ever had, this game is complete crap. Good job with this review, really accurate!
The thing that strikes me is that, despite how long you say you've played it for, you don't seem to have done very many things.. You talk about lack of content, but what about the huge crafting system? Building a house? Exploring?
I think, in this game, a guild is almost necessary, because having experienced friends to ask about things/ generally run around with makes the game a lot more fun.
Once you get your gear and attributes and skills up (which takes far less time and grinding than many other MMOs) then PVP becomes amazing. The PVP fights in this game are some of the most intense and exciting things I've ever experienced in a game, and I love it.
Another note on the crafting system, making a suit of armour or a sword is very rewarding, and the number of combinations of materials and designs mean that crafting is almost a game unto itself now.
Heh, I should have specified when its NOT lagging and out of sync (which is rare in towns, but its usually quite good out in the wilderness). Its not really slow, unless you use the starter axe, which isn't intended to be a weapon and has the slowest swing in the game. Seriously, everything else is at least twice as fast. I can't think of anything "broken" about the combat either..
I've heard bad things about DFO PvP, but I won't express any opinions because I haven't actually played it myself.
What makes this game the worst is how many people including the devs themselves compare this game and try to make it similar to other games like EVE and UO. That's what kills it. This game should have taken it's own approach. Instead they poorly implemented half a dozen similar mechanics and systems like those of EVE and UO. It's complete crap.
I like the game, not a fan boy just think it's very interesting. Are you not in a guild or have any friends online with you? We are looking forward to building our town! Have you seen the night and day effects? Killer :) I will agree that the combat/magic system is a bit borked but think they can fix that soon enough.
I played this game for 2 days, I think it's great, they have been updating with one patch each day and removed several bugs. Server been up all the time for me. Try hit the play button! :)
Actually there are a lot of things to do in game even now without sieges and any sort of guild territorial control mechanics, it's just lack of any sort of decent tutorial and bad UI that driving people away. Also lag... it is terrible!
this is just a theory, but i believe that the developers want the game to be all players instead of npcs, so people that are standing on shops,quest givers and guards are real players.... well this is just a theory :)
My friend had a go at this game. He said when he got into the game. He had no idea what to do. Walked around aimlessly looking for some sort of starter quest npc for an hour. Then quit. He tried again later that day.. And the server was down.
@Rumil20 It's a pure sandbox game, there MAY be quest givers at the start in launch, however it's very unlikely. Content patch is on the 22nd for beta and I'll report on that.
It's not the lac of coders its the lack of skill the coders have. This game block A and shit you know what everyone else is saying. This game would be great, if they would just grab the skills to code a game like this. I took a look at the coding and there are so many flaws ont he C++ Lang that it isn't even funny. They have notions in the wrong area and everything. I'm pretty sure that theya re either rushing or they need to stick to LUA because its just so flawed.
Hmm, strange review. I have lots to do ingame and I have fun. Well there are some bugs in the game and not all are in but it's still beta and bugs will be fixed. Seriously it's lots of skill in combat. I have played the game longer than all people, since Combat beta.
What I mean by that is, there is nothing to do AT ALL in this game, no objectives or any structure at all, and all that is left for players is PURE love, for the game. Nothing else.
Been playing off and on since Block A. The game is complete shit. Nothing works right and the lag is tremendously awful. It certainly has the potential to own, but at least a year off.
@Whatever4690 The huge empty world is there so you can build something on it... If they added trees and rocks and shit everywhere then were would guilds make cities etc? Yes.. they need to att some grass and some other shit but its mostly empty cuz they want the players to fill it up with cities.
What they REALLY need to do, is to make kick ass AI and make the combat WAAAY MORE FLUID...
Kick ass AI, as in AI raiding towns, expanding, evem building their own villages.
SOmething darkfall promised back in 2003... AI would offer a CRAP load to do, so the only fun thing wouldn't be 'ganking, stealing, griefing,' but it would be fighting off the hordes of goblins or other things!
I mean, hunting in beta right now is getting 5 guys to stand 10 feet infront of a deer and shot it.Yay....
@Mittenn In terms of a structure, I did not play UO, but from what I hear it's no where near what UO did. HOWEVER, the devs said they intend to make this game close to it.
Ya this game has alot of flaws but there is alot to do in this game, pvp is great, building this is fun. Don't listen to this guy it sounds like he went into the game couldnt figure it out ( yes it is very confusing at first) and threw his hands up and made this review. He clams that he has played this a bunch but clearly he doesnt, like saying things like thieves can steal stacks of ore?
Hopefully this next patch will be combat based to improve a lot of the imbalanced and such with the combat. Yes, the weapon arcs are small (its not a problem with the hit boxes, rabbits are supposed to be small, duh), but the PvP is pretty good when theres no lag. Balancing bow damage (compared to its ease of access to noobs) and pet power is the main thing right now.
Gotten tired of the big bugs (pets attacking people inside locked houses, losing house loot from it), but will play post patch
well, isn't it worth buying this game? well give it a chance and suport it for one month. well dont know how much it costs but like 50$ maby? well, I'm not a poor bastard and i have the money, why dont spend them on the game? you want me to save 300 swdish crowns? = 50$ ?
and I have been playing for a long time and had my pilfering and thievery up to 100 and its almost impossible to steal an amount over 350? thievery is actually one of the harder more time consuming skills to get up.... and you seem like way obsessed with EvE why is that? i agree with most of what u say accept for that you act like a complete idiot in this review sorry man but grow up
Ahh, this is disappointing. This video kind of confirmed my fears, and I've been following this game for over a year. Hopefully they can find a way to improve it fast, before and after launch, and it doesn't turn into another AoC.
Well.. I have played from the start of the beta ( grefing ppl, pvping cuz thats why I bought the game. Only for the pvp) I do agree that its pretty much empty ( if your a newb blue guy who wants to rp and run around finding adventures) And that will suck for me.. Cuz there will be less ppl to kill. Lets see what the next content patch on the 22th brings.. Before then I would't judge the ''beta'' and tell ppl not to buy it.
The game is more fun that Darkfall (what isn't?), but it needs a lot of work to compete with the big guys. I think the game will be around for a bit and it may improve. EVE Online was horrid, but unique at launch and now look at it today.
don't make reviews enless it ends in u shooting ur fagget ass and then dieing

My re-review is coming out soon. This one was kinda weak and I agree, I'm taking my time with the next one. And I have the 152th Collectors Edition for MO that sold out in like 15 minutes come pre-order. I participated in Block A, B, C, D and stopped playing for a bit and game back for open beta and soon release.

I agree, developers often talk more than they deliver, but actually in the case of Star Vault. Even if it takes some time, they actually come up with some really good solutions, even if their first version of a solution isn't perfect done, but after it's balanced up the result becomes really good.
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
Actually the thieving system is not broken.
Even if you notice that an item suddenly disappear, you can expect the thief to run away directly and you will have a problem to catch him anyway if he did that from behind.
So thiefs have to stand behind and first snoop in a position so no one can see the snop animation. They have to choose the right time and spot. Then the thief pilf (steal). When that is done he run away.
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
Things will get balanced.
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
You're relying too much on developers, I learned after playing four failed MMOs in a row to take what they say with a grain of salt. The game is getting better, but only by a bit. Actions speak louder than words.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
This have been added since block A:
1. You can build houses, bridges, keeps, palisades.
2. Thieving added.
3. Magic added and in the last patch 3 more spells was added.
4. More mobs have been added. And only 1/3 of the mobs are in. Now they can add more because the new AI is in. In other MMO's the AI just do the following when a player come close ... Ignore him or attack. In MO ... the mob can also flee ...
5. Better melee.
6. Better GUI.
7. The advance crafting added.
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
Houses are super expensive at the moment, I believe it's 10,000,000 cuprum, and lots of mats are required. I mean it was fine before, but they fucked with the values. Magic is bugged big time, sometimes you can't even cast/pre-cast spells even with the reagents in your inventory. Mob AI is still retarded. Melee has been improved, but still needs an overhaul. Crafting is the strong point of this game, but we've had times where it would bug and we lose our shit. My re-review is coming soon.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
8. Skill book system.
9. 40% more of the continent.
10. Many more weapons to craft.
11. Mounted combat/archery.
12. More NPCs.
13. Day/Night system.
14. The performance and stability has improved lots.
15. and much more ...
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
It has a long way to go, like I said wait for my re-review of the new patch. I'm following MO with my guild and do play it regularly.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
I agree, as Mortal Online is now it is not worth your time or money. However since it's just beta we will see what happens. If your going for Ultima Online 3D gameplay check out Darkfall, it's much better.

Darkfall is a terrible game given that it took almost a decade to make.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
I see lots of people ingame having fun. I having lots of fun. But it can't be a game for everyone. It's getting better and better for everypatch. It's lots more stable now and bugs are fixed. More content is now added on each patch.

If you are out in the field and they steal, kill them?
Basketballbat 1 year ago
@basketballbat you dont know if they are stealing from you a lot of the times
Xcen27 1 year ago
Unless someone has max thieving, it will notify you most the time that you've been stolen from. I like to run with my inventory open so I can see if someone stole from me. The Thieving system is broken now, thieves make piss poor money and it comes to solely on luck rather than skill/timing.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
There is an animation. Are you blind?
Basketballbat 1 year ago
Not sure what this 'structure' in EVE is. You mean the 'new player experience' they added last year? EVE has no real content and no guiding except maybe those.
As for stealing,I used to play UO, and stealing really gave the game another dimension. I didn't get the whinning about this(especially from coming from an EVE player). If you don't like being stolen, then kill the person who's stealing from you or mine somewhere else, like remote.
Anyway, I might give MO a try some time in the future.

Spot on review.When I tried this made my character entered world and I was like wtf?You have to run about a mile before you come to anything,then that something turns out to be nothing but some random vendors.
Will check the game out again when released but in it's current state I wouldnt touch it with barge pole.
coldcut333 1 year ago 2
Awesome review Psychronicle, fanbots will attack you but the current open beta is a disaster. Starvault has no clue what they are doing, 8 months I have been in the beta and its been the worst closed/beta experience I have ever had, this game is complete crap. Good job with this review, really accurate!
inferno3387 1 year ago
This was an interesting review, well delivered.
The thing that strikes me is that, despite how long you say you've played it for, you don't seem to have done very many things.. You talk about lack of content, but what about the huge crafting system? Building a house? Exploring?
I think, in this game, a guild is almost necessary, because having experienced friends to ask about things/ generally run around with makes the game a lot more fun.
ConveX91 1 year ago
-Cont-
Once you get your gear and attributes and skills up (which takes far less time and grinding than many other MMOs) then PVP becomes amazing. The PVP fights in this game are some of the most intense and exciting things I've ever experienced in a game, and I love it.
Another note on the crafting system, making a suit of armour or a sword is very rewarding, and the number of combinations of materials and designs mean that crafting is almost a game unto itself now.
Guh, stupid character limit
ConveX91 1 year ago
If by the best PvP... you mean, slow, laggy, broken, and inferior to REAL PvP games like Darkfall and Dark Age of Camelot, then yes.
SigandGibbs 1 year ago
Heh, I should have specified when its NOT lagging and out of sync (which is rare in towns, but its usually quite good out in the wilderness). Its not really slow, unless you use the starter axe, which isn't intended to be a weapon and has the slowest swing in the game. Seriously, everything else is at least twice as fast. I can't think of anything "broken" about the combat either..
I've heard bad things about DFO PvP, but I won't express any opinions because I haven't actually played it myself.
ConveX91 1 year ago
What makes this game the worst is how many people including the devs themselves compare this game and try to make it similar to other games like EVE and UO. That's what kills it. This game should have taken it's own approach. Instead they poorly implemented half a dozen similar mechanics and systems like those of EVE and UO. It's complete crap.

I like the game, not a fan boy just think it's very interesting. Are you not in a guild or have any friends online with you? We are looking forward to building our town! Have you seen the night and day effects? Killer :) I will agree that the combat/magic system is a bit borked but think they can fix that soon enough.

My friend had a go at this game. He said when he got into the game. He had no idea what to do. Walked around aimlessly looking for some sort of starter quest npc for an hour. Then quit. He tried again later that day.. And the server was down.
So he gave up.

@Rumil20 It's a pure sandbox game, there MAY be quest givers at the start in launch, however it's very unlikely. Content patch is on the 22nd for beta and I'll report on that.

It's not the lac of coders its the lack of skill the coders have. This game block A and shit you know what everyone else is saying. This game would be great, if they would just grab the skills to code a game like this. I took a look at the coding and there are so many flaws ont he C++ Lang that it isn't even funny. They have notions in the wrong area and everything. I'm pretty sure that theya re either rushing or they need to stick to LUA because its just so flawed.
cypherdaboom 1 year ago
Hmm, strange review. I have lots to do ingame and I have fun. Well there are some bugs in the game and not all are in but it's still beta and bugs will be fixed. Seriously it's lots of skill in combat. I have played the game longer than all people, since Combat beta.
Pompelipom33 1 year ago
ok if the game is so EMPTY, then why are there players in the game??? it makes no sense?
what keeps them playing in this empty world?
Baldoxxx4000 1 year ago
Lol their love for the game keeps them playing.
What I mean by that is, there is nothing to do AT ALL in this game, no objectives or any structure at all, and all that is left for players is PURE love, for the game. Nothing else.

Been playing off and on since Block A. The game is complete shit. Nothing works right and the lag is tremendously awful. It certainly has the potential to own, but at least a year off.

@Whatever4690 The huge empty world is there so you can build something on it... If they added trees and rocks and shit everywhere then were would guilds make cities etc? Yes.. they need to att some grass and some other shit but its mostly empty cuz they want the players to fill it up with cities.

What they REALLY need to do, is to make kick ass AI and make the combat WAAAY MORE FLUID...
Kick ass AI, as in AI raiding towns, expanding, evem building their own villages.
SOmething darkfall promised back in 2003... AI would offer a CRAP load to do, so the only fun thing wouldn't be 'ganking, stealing, griefing,' but it would be fighting off the hordes of goblins or other things!
I mean, hunting in beta right now is getting 5 guys to stand 10 feet infront of a deer and shot it.Yay....

Baldoxxx4000 1 year ago
@Baldoxxx4000 It says 'open beta pre-combat patch' review.
Psychronicle 1 year ago
Hopefully this next patch will be combat based to improve a lot of the imbalanced and such with the combat. Yes, the weapon arcs are small (its not a problem with the hit boxes, rabbits are supposed to be small, duh), but the PvP is pretty good when theres no lag. Balancing bow damage (compared to its ease of access to noobs) and pet power is the main thing right now.
Gotten tired of the big bugs (pets attacking people inside locked houses, losing house loot from it), but will play post patch

Well.. I have played from the start of the beta ( grefing ppl, pvping cuz thats why I bought the game. Only for the pvp) I do agree that its pretty much empty ( if your a newb blue guy who wants to rp and run around finding adventures) And that will suck for me.. Cuz there will be less ppl to kill. Lets see what the next content patch on the 22th brings.. Before then I would't judge the ''beta'' and tell ppl not to buy it.
