I'm done

This will more likely be my last post as I see no point in continuing on for something I no longer play nor have any faith in the future for it. I know I said I'd continue to post, I know and I wanted to but it's hard to watch something that I had high hopes for just get worse(my opinion). I see most players only staying for nostalgia, or they are "known" by others, I am not one of those and will not stay for something I no longer enjoy.

So yes, I am completely done with the game, might hop on only to see how it's going from time to time or talk to friends etc. Unless some miracle happens that makes the game great but I don't see that without an overhaul. 

Thank you to all those that have been supportive, much appreciated.

-Boost: Hp regeneration to 100%
-Npc  : Hp slightly raised
-Minor: Fixes gnomi map
-Candy bandit hp lowered

For those that care

 For those that care if I'm coming back or not, I'm not really sure. The constant level grind and lack of features are the main reasons I no longer play regularly. No, I'm not a narcissist lol. I keep getting asked if I'm coming back or if I'm going to check out this update etc. So my apologies for posts like this.

With this mini core system it might make a good difference, especially when going up against higher level players, so that's kind of a plus. I was against level cap at the start but most mmorpgs have a level cap for a reason and it makes sense. So EO without one is actually pretty bad unless certain systems are put in place to negate that, which I think the mini core system is a start.

Still, there comes a point when someone will be level 100 and most others will be 75 or lower, the level 100 would most likely have most advantages, you simply can not ignore that power imbalance and the mini core system alone won't do much for that issue. Which is why I think the whole "no level cap" is pointless and hypocritical in the long term. Sure you can make the argument that some players will always be more active and have more money, be higher level etc. but most mmorpgs have a level cap, as I mentioned and Vult being the only programmer is no excuse for no cap. 

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what I think honestly, he's gonna do what he sees fit to do. I gotta give him credit for listening to some of the players though, I just find that he listens to the wrong people most of the time. Crybabies seem to always get their way, which is what has happened since the start of the game.

Oh well, I have other things to play, which I have been, so whichever way this game goes, I'll be fine.

Some exciting updates incoming!

 A big update is coming tomorrow. Check the devpost for the full patch notes and such, I didn't list everything.

Mini core system is here and finally it looks like bow/sword balancing will come very soon. Will be nice to have some bow range back. That's not all:

 

• new dungeon, new boss arena
  
• new boss : Stallion
  
• new npc: Core Master
• new weapon
  
• new quest
   
• base max weight increase from 30 to 50
• stat vituality increase from 1 to 2weight per point

No I'm not back and more

I'm not back to regular play, just hopped on to see the event and do the new quests. I won't be doing the event, I'm just not interested in the rewards. It's not a bad event, just not for me but I see the majority excited for it, so more power to you. 

I see that speeding is back, or perhaps it never got fixed like the admins thought. This is based on hearsay but quite a lot of players have stated it so I believe it.

The server lag is much better, even though my ping is still up 50% more, the lag spikes themselves seem more rare. So there are some good things going on.

(Updated)Halloween weekend and more

 According to Aengie, the Halloween event starts this weekend and we'll get stat reset scrolls the following weekend on October 7th. The level cap has been lifted again. 

For more info, please check the devpost

Level 50 is cap

 So there was an actual level cap after all. Way too high in my opinion as I've stated before but better than no cap at all for the content we have. I'm very curious what the next update and cap will be. I'm hoping the Halloween event is good too.

So, the new server

 So the new server was moved from eastern USA to western USA. Not sure this was a good move, should have kept it in eastern USA, as this would have been better for the majority.

My ping at idle has doubled and spikes constantly while moving. I asked a couple other players and it is pretty much the same for them. Maybe it'll get better after a few days. I hear haunted house is pretty bad right now, not enough defense to really take the hits and they move/attack fast. I see a possible re-balance in the very near future for those mobs. Unless of course Vult has plans for new armor with better defensive stats very soon.

New server coming

 This was posted by Aengie earlier:

"SERVER MIGRATION INCOMING - A new fully dedicated machine is waiting to take over the load from this overburdened virtual private server. The current server is too cooked and unable to handle even 200+ connections without causing lag issues and trouble to keep 100% speed protection. Please bear with us while we carry out the rushed, unplanned content update + server migration (around this weekend).
 Current minor issue: Trading system might no longer work, please do not trade outside the trade system. The next client has a trading-locked-agree system, and should be working 100% again."

This is great news, as it was badly needed. Supposed to happen at some point this weekend.

I will continue to post

 I wanted to make it clear, I will still keep up with Recharged and post about it. I just don't feel the need to train or sit at bosses all day long. I even hopped on and got a complete Gallop set, hope I spelled that correctly. I mean, I didn't want to be left behind entirely lol. I feel that was a very important set to get, aside from not having much or any accuracy, the stats are great.

When we are able to group in game with classes, more bow range, more balance or other reasons that I find worthy of the grind, then I might start training and or boss farming again like I was. Maybe we'll even get more features added to the game.

I'm sure I'll be left behind level wise quite a bit but I'm not really too concerned about that. I just want the game to be fun and enjoyable.

Damn Vult, really?

 Well, I guess I'm done. I'm taking a break from the game most likely. I will hop on to try this new update but don't really see the point in continuing at current state. Level cap has been completely lifted from my understanding which makes no sense with the content we have. Only one area added with this update, is that correct? Still the same shit. 

I'm not going to go into the same thing I did with my last post, we all know what is missing. I will say, I hate this, I hate it so much. I want to stay, wanted things to get better but it's taking too long for the most simple things. I'll stop there before I start ranting 😂 

If you don't see me in game, I hope you find your own reasons to continue.

So tired of the grind

 I wasn't going to make this post because I didn't really see it as relevant but it certainly is.

I'm so tired of mindlessly grinding thousands of mobs in a game that is already up to level 40 and considered to be mid-game, yet we are still on new player armor, bows still stuck at shitty 1 tile range, no classes, stat reset only on some weekends, no scrolls, pots hard to come by and so many other things wrong and or missing from the game. 

I have to force myself daily to grind or even login some days. If this was a private server I wouldn't be playing it. 

I hit level 37 yesterday, to hit 38 I have to kill 2077 mobs at 270 exp. To hit cap, I'd have to kill over 8000 mobs easily. Think about that for a moment. Not even Conquer Online was this grindy. CO was known as one of the grindiest games you could play back in the day, just to give an idea. If only we had other ways to grind for exp. Exp for crafting, more exp for gathering and mining. There could be so many.

I know I don't have to train or hit cap, no one is making me, I don't mind a good grind, when there is reasons for that grind but there's not much incentive to do it right now in my opinion except for the leaderboard and to compete for boss drops. At 37 I am more than capable to compete until next update and who knows how that's gonna be? More of the same, no doubt about it. Same stupid bow range, noob ass armor and thousands of mobs to grind for hours. The "Endless" loop as I call it. There is a reason the player base has dwindled so much and there's only around 200 max playing. Plus, if you count alts, you could drop 25% off that or so and get closer to the actual real count.

Also, Vult needs to start banning cheaters and exploiters, or at the very least, jail or punish them by taking away exp/eons or something. The latest exploit allowed some players a boost in stats that made it much easier to kill mobs and bosses but I know nothing will be done to those players. It's sickening. It makes everything seem so pointless when cheaters are just let go after us normal players worked our asses off for everything we've got and did it fairly. He shows way too much leniency even at this point in testing.

I've made my mind up, I'll play till next update but if things don't change for the better, I'm out. I just can't continue this as is.

Cap might be 40

 It's looking like cap might be 40. We won't know for 💯 till China or Sword confirm it since Vult and Aengie are quiet on the subject but I'm quite sure it is. 

I think it's ridiculous but what can you do? Safe to say not everyone is gonna hit it this time around.

Update: stat reset

 Updated: I really need to start logging in before I make early morning posts 😂 

Stat reset for the weekend is back, at least I heard it was only for the weekend.

I think stat reset may be coming very soon(again), one of the admins asked if stat reset was needed and of course the majority said yes.

So I assume, we will be getting that and I am hoping it will be later today.

To those speeders out there

 If you are going to speed at least own it. I see so many doing it and while it's not as fast as it used to be you can still tell very easily.

So you aren't fooling anyone 😂 I should make a list to embarrass you all.

A few changes

 It almost feels like Vult is reading and taking notes sometimes. If that was the case though, he would put some range back on bow! 😂 

Jokes aside(not joking about bow range), he took away a bit of power from us, now we get 4 per level instead of 5? I think that's right. He also balanced mobs a little, once again trying to get the higher level players away from lower level areas. Nice but we need more spawns. I think the exp rate is about right this time, 250 exp. per is fairly reasonable and middle ground.

What in the hell was he thinking making level cap so high!? It's even higher than we thought, 36 is not the cap! Unless it's glitched again, that was a terrible move. Note, I haven't been on today so not sure if he fixed or changed that. If not, we are in for one hell of a rough ass ride.

Would be nice to see some new armors with higher stats too, especially since mobs still hit like a brick. If you're gonna balance the game correctly, give us some defensive armor so we don't have to go out and sit for ages waiting to be able to use our lousy self heal. I'm not saying make mobs easy as shit but dying in just a few hits is not balance.

The future just might look bright if he can implement a few more changes that help us out.

For new visitors

 For you new visitors that are on mobile, remember I have useful links in the side bar which can only be seen on desktop or full web view. So you have to scroll down and click view web version to see it.

Also, I'd love some feedback if there are any issues with the font or links etc. So don't be shy. You can hit me up in the comments or in game if you want.

Almost but not quite

 Ok, so the level cap is not 34, not even 35 unless it glitched again. For the mobs and areas we have at the moment, this makes absolutely no sense at all. I did around 180k-200k exp. yesterday off 90-125 exp. mobs which I thought was pretty damn good but seeing the cap is not what we expected now makes me exhausted thinking about trying to do this for several levels. 

I know he's trying to slowly get rid of the level cap but we need higher exp. mobs and more areas if he's raising the cap that high. He had it right with the frogs last update and cap set at 32. Yes the exp. per was a little high but it was much better than what we got right now which is way too low. Middle of the road would have been just right I think.

So this update is gonna be a grind your ass off X10 if you wanna hit whatever the cap is. 

It is, what it is though. I don't see as many hitting it this time around unless we don't get another update for quite some time.

Ohhhh well, let the grind begin! I will be trying my best to take it easier than I have been. It gets too damn stressful for me when I rush to cap.

Update Sept. 2nd

 I know you all just love it when I make my update opinion posts 😂 We are finally getting somewhere half decent but nowhere near where we should be. Hear me out. 

Bow range is still shit, some crafts are still ridiculously hard, no good armor updates that give better stats, Octo should drop eons, still no classes or stat reset, no scrolls, we need more INNs and I'm sure there's more I could say about the negatives of the game.

Now the good. Now we at least have a few different bosses scattered around the world, some bosses drop weapons again+the crafting materials, this is great, more options the better I say, because we all like to play differently. We are finally starting to get more training areas for higher levels and slowly but surely seeing more cosmetic items.

Now my thoughts on the direction he's trying to go.

Vult is trying to use the excuse for the money drain by focusing on real life but this is a mistake, EO is not real life, we want and we are here to escape real life, so that is a mute point/argument. I understand that money drains are necessary so give us the old pot prices, or scrolls or something similarly useful. Then he goes on to make another excuse that he's trying to follow other mmos but other mmos usually do not listen to the minority crybabies that make up 10% of the gaming population. If this continues I believe most players will start to leave. 

Obviously I want to see the game succeed, I just don't have high hopes for it in the long run unless some changes are made.

(Edited) Update this weekend

Update this weekend now confirmed. I hear it's supposed to be a big one. Rumor has it some crafts will be changing, Moonmurks expanded and a new boss. I saw the short video Aengie posted in discord of what looks to be a cave with greenery like foliage of some type. It could be the expanded part for Moonmurks but I highly doubt it, it looks more like a new area with room for mobs and possibly a boss. That is what I'm hoping for. I could see it being a Gnoll cave or even Reaper maybe. It's way too early for it to be dragons or anything like that.

We shall see.

From Aengie(Aug 31st):

This weekend : Maps , Weapons , Bosses , Npc's ,Quests Etc. 🙂

Wish I had more

 What to say? There isn't much to say unfortunately, the progress is just terrible for those who play often. It's fine for casual players right now, or is it? I'm not a casual myself, I like to get things done. For players like me, we have to realize this is still the testing phase, the very beginning of it really, so patience is a must. When you think about it, Endless never actually went out of the testing phase, it was always in Alpha, yes Alpha, not Beta.

For those thinking Endless Recharged will be different, I sure hope so, I really do but to be 100% honest with you, I don't see it ever being fully released as a full fledged game, at least not without Vult reaching out for some help, which I do not see him doing. I know I'm not exactly preaching sunshine and rainbows when I talk about the game and it usually comes off very negatively in nature but I mean well, I just have to tell it like it is in my own opinion. I don't like to sugar coat anything.

This is starting to feel like old EO again; I remember when I used to blog, it was much like this. I would usually make posts about waiting for updates or I'd talk about in game drama because we were bored as shit waiting for an update lol. We just need more info more frequently about the game. I know the Devpost was a good start but we need more, maybe not spoilers but they could give us more than what they are doing. Give us an approximate timeline or roadmap, give us reasons why, shows us teasers here and there, something.

As the title states, I wish I had more to give you all. I'm tired of making these types of posts.

Can't wrap my mind around it

 I don't understand why Recharged is worse than some private servers. Some private servers have aoe weapons/spells, pets, classes that work, player commands, auto events, plenty of training and farming areas. The list goes on.

Also why is the whisper feature so messed up when it worked perfectly fine before? So many things worked well then all of a sudden we get what we have now. I know I should have started out this kind of post way back when Recharged first hit but better later than never. I just don't understand.

I know we're dealing with a new client and all but it seems like it's becoming more trouble than it's worth. I mean, as I stated, a lot of private servers have implemented lots of cool features, is Vult actually that bad compared to these people that run these private servers? Vult couldn't keep the old features and make them work?

I want to make one thing clear, in no way am I saying programming or dealing with a community is easy or that anyone can do it. I'm just confused, as I have been since the start of this server. As always, we'll just have to wait and see how this comes together.

The latest update

 I know what you're thinking but this was a little better update than the last few, even though I think the EXP you got from frogs and the quests were a bit too much this time. Yes, I said it, too much. Literally everyone is now able to level up faster and most likely hit cap in just an few days than anytime up to this point from the start of the server. I guess that's just how it goes though huh? I'm not gonna cry about it and good for them.

Still waiting for bow range to be back to normal or at least a few tiles, sorry but it's just stupid having bow shoot near like it is now, just plain stupid! We need better self heals if pots/pot crafting is gonna be so rough. I'm gonna stop ranting right there, no need to go over the same shit as I have been. 

Good that we have a feedback channel in discord now, that should help out a lot.

Just hope Vult and Aengie actually listen to some of it.

Endless Online devpost

 If interested, everyone should check out the EO devpost that Aengie just mentioned. Kind of gives you a glimpse of what happened and what's going on (in short) with Recharged.

Eo devpost

A few links fixed, sorry

 Had a few links not working on the sidebar, should all be fixed now. Sorry about the confusion.

New update incoming

 Looks like we might get another update this weekend, not sure exactly when. From Aengie:

Upcoming 0.4.4 patchNOTES

skyworld completion (part 2)
moonmurks new map (part 1)
unlimited* stat reset weekend

volatile state reset item will dissapear after the weekend to review the feedback and result of various builds.

thanks for playing EO !

 

So, this update

 Yeah, what to say about this update? Someone pointed out lastnight that I haven't been very fond of the updates thus far and it's 💯 right on the money. We got a new boss that is hard as hell this early in the game, a few quests, not many, surely not enough and only really one new mob. 

No new armors, at least none that matter that could be considered an upgrade from the current meta. Boss weapon drops removed and turned to crafts, I personally don't like that but some do. Most of the crafts now are way too difficult, it's just sad. This will be extreme for new players or those returning. No new training areas for the grinders either, it's 50-some odd exp from level 26 to?

What the hell is Vult thinking? So, yeah it's safe to say I don't like this update. Back to camping bosses and training on and off with every contended 50-something exp mob I can find. Yay, so much fun!

Helpful links and thank you

 There are quite a few useful links on the sidebar, those on mobile unfortunately may not see it, however if you scroll all the way down you can click view web version. I have added some new ones recently that should be helpful, mainly for new comers or returning players.

I'd like to thank all those involved in helping the Recharged community, your efforts are very much appreciated!

Apollo, Sausage, Stubs, Scissors, Vexx, HarryButchers, The Eoradio team and anyone else I may have forgotten!

Feeling stale

 I'm not sure how much longer this can go on like it is. There's just not enough content to enjoy for the hardcore players, or the ones that are on a lot. I know I'm preaching to the choir, we all realize this, yet we keep logging in. I didn't wanna even make this post and I hope I don't have to make too many more but it needs to be stated. We really need another update soon and a big one, so that we have something to do in game. I'm not talking about the casual players, or the ones that have started recently, this goes for those players that get things done fast and don't like to "play around", they take care of business!

Perhaps I'm asking for too much? I'd love to hear opinions on this.

Eoradio is up and running!

 Eoradio is now up and running. If interested in djing or other help, please visit and either use the contact form down at the bottom or get in touch in game with one of the team members.

I'm disappointed, to say the least

I'm just highly disappointed in the way the game is going right now. Seems that everything is being built around crybabies and cheaters. Bow was nerfed because people cried about it being too hard to get kills, updates were delayed several times because of people doing dumb shit on global and people cried about it, parties got taken out because there was a bug or something allowing world wide exp sharing, I can understand fixing it but damn, he did too much. It's just ridiculous now. You can NOT build your game around cry babies and cheaters/exploiters without having way too many compromises.

I'm not saying don't stop cheaters/abusers etc. But he's trying to do too much in my opinion and yes, I realize this is a very basic testing period right now, it doesn't matter. There are going to be way too many issues throughout this game that he's not going to be able to deal with, without help from others. You can NOT please everyone, you can NOT stop all cheaters/exploiters, so this is when you bring in a moderation team or light guides that can jail/temp ban and report serious issues. 

Allow fair Eo gamers to enjoy their grinding with full bow range, full map parties, classes, stat resets and so on without having to worry about being nerfed every update!

Sure I'll still play it but if this kind of thing keeps up, it's just not going to be fun anymore and players will start to go elsewhere.

Rumor of parties coming very soon

 It's rumored that parties are coming very soon. So long as nothing else comes up of course.

So everyone keep your fingers crossed! Parties now would be very good for all of us, as most are a decent level and can do nearly all the content, so a nice even playing field, pretty much.

New level cap

 The new level cap is 26. Yep, you heard that right, 26. Kind of hard to believe I know but it's real. Might be a good thing? Now lots will catch up unless it's increased again very soon. We shall see.

Eoradio coming soon

 My brother Eonx, Jono, Tonedeff and others are bringing back the highly requested Eoradio. It'll be the same as the old site: Eoradio

I'm not sure when they will start but it should be soon, as they are working on it now. I think they are looking for some help too.

Not a bad update, not great.

 So the update isn't too bad, sure it could have been much better and I think everyone was hoping for more. No stats/classes yet and parties still not working. I'm not going to complain because it could have been delayed again.

Too much to list here so I'd suggest checking out eomix and the epic guide (scroll to the bottom). Both are great.

Aengie did say stat reset was coming soon but Vult sounded like he still had a ways to go on it, so no idea 😂

Update tomorrow!

 Finally getting an update. Quote from Aengie:

"Incoming 0.4.2 content update this weekend ( 29 July )
Testing new boat system, new maps, new quests, new drops, level cap 22 lifted."

Sounds really good to me! I'm not gonna drop any rumors or speculate. See you all tomorrow!

Sadly, still no news

 Unfortunately there's still nothing new happening on Recharged. I know it's frustrating, I feel you. It looks like players can still speed somehow, though not quite as bad as before. 

Also, I've seen some ghosting and moonlite too, these do not bother me(and yes, I hit f12 as soon as I see them start to do it and it doesn't change). I think ghosting should be a standard feature anyways. It would make things much less annoying with navigation.

So, if I were Vult, I wouldn't worry about these small things. It's coming up on the first month and we are ready for some content and quality of life improvements! So get to that, then continue to work on stopping the major or minor issues, which are few that I am aware of.

Speeding mostly fixed and global filter soon

 So, for the most part, speeding is fixed. Still possible but players that do so end up disconnecting after a few seconds from what I understand. 

Now Vult is working on a global chat filter after all the crap that gets talked about on a daily basis, which I think it's just a waste of time. But hey, it is what it is. 

I hope we get some new content soon, along with parties.

Thank you speeders!

 Well, it seems updates may be on hold so Vult-r can fix the speeding issues. This is what I am hearing. So, thank you speeders, once again you have messed things up for the rest of us. Never fails does it? This time around though, most of you are grown adults now, still doing the same shit you did back when you were teens. Damn, that is just sad. I sure hope we can get past all this and move forward in the future with some updates.

New area(s) this week?

RUMOR!  

I hear we may be getting a new area and boss this week. I heard it's gonna be Octopus but there is a catch; tentacles have to be killed first. That should be interesting, if true. I am not sure where it will be located or anything so we will just have to wait and see.

I sure hope we get more mobs too, because damn, I'm tired of spiders, as I'm sure you all are as well.

And please, bring back parties, holy shit, how long do we have to wait for that?! Also, stat reset and or classes, please get on it. I have heard a few players say they don't really care for stat reset, or that we don't need it. Oh, we need it, believe that! Sigh, so many simple things missing that could make the game that much better, just missing.

One last thing that would be nice, scrolls! I realize the game is small right now and scrolls aren't necessarily needed at the moment but hopefully we get some soon, as the game world opens up more.

Recharged start

 Well, I had quite a lot of request and questions about blogging again. I saw no reason for it honestly but here I go.

Please forgive any bad grammar and mistakes, I haven't blogged in ages! 

So it's coming up on two weeks for Recharged and thus far, it's not too bad. I see Vult wanted to open the game world up slowly to make sure everything worked well.

It was a rough start for sure with crashes, disconnects, lag and the rush was insane with over 400+ players. Vult finally got the game stable after lots of testing over several days. Sadly grouping is disabled, can't wait till that's re-enabled/fixed.

Feels just like old main again with not enough training areas, even with channels it's a rough grind and you can't go to sleep if you wanna hit or stay in that top 100 list. 

You got the usual assholes like always and yes, I'll admit, I have probably been one of those assholes myself a few times trying to fight for mobs/resources. That's typical for EO, as we all know.  You kind of have to be aggressive if you want to get anywhere at all. This will not change unless we get tons of areas with mobs and resources that satisfies all players. I don't believe this is possible due to EO being old and limited, so don't expect it.

I gotta say, it's been nice seeing some of the old players again and then there are some I'd rather not speak of lol.

Overall, it's fairly fun, definitely addicting. I only hope Vult plans to stick with it and update more frequently than he did with old main. Only time can tell.
