Sorry but I don't really play much, mainly afk for pirate event. However, thought I'd post anyways because this is a pretty big update. I don't think I'll be interested in EO again like I was for some time. That big rollback and of course botting/lack of real moderation made me take a huge step away.
Grinded my ass off to get to 94 just to be passed up by bots. It's tiring. This is not news I know, it's now typical and ridiculous that it's consider the norm now. We just have to deal with it because Vult refuses to do anything serious about it because "this is a test".
As some of you know, I have been tempted a few times to bot myself but just could not bring myself to do it. I have even had people offer me help doing it. So it's not like I don't know how, it just doesn't feel right to me. There is no excuse, period. What's even worse is the ones that do it but deny it. We're not stupid, if you are botting, most people know you are doing it. It's just hilarious.
At the end of the day though, this is just a game, in the testing phase that will eventually be wiped(it will have to be if it's gonna be officially released ever) so I'll just chill and play the way I wanna play and do my best to ignore Vult's weak moderation. Yes Shadow Guild is a start but far too late really. We've already lost a ton of players that I'm not sure if they'd ever come back now.
So, there's an update in the works. Looks to be quite decent, though it's unclear exactly when release is for it and if class skills will be done with this particular update or what.
Meh, for myself, I'm playing but only casually right now, at least till class skills come. I play other games in the meantime. There's still a lot missing from this version of EO and it saddens me but here I am. As usual, I wish we had more.
I hope everyone is doing well.
So, two new modes are being introduced soon-ish? Not sure why, but here we are. No, I will not be doing them myself. More power to those that wish to do them.
Yet another content update without key elements. He can keep on adding more areas, more mobs and bosses, keep messing with the lighting system so players feel like things are actually getting accomplished but he's just putting on new bandaids at this point.
Not sure what's going on exactly but this is quite strange.
I've heard it could be a bankbob glitch where you get more eons back than what you put in and also heard it was players passing eons and items etc. to other characters because they were afraid of the botting reset Vult has planned soon. A least from screenshots I have seen, that is what I assume he meant.
Only time will tell if he actually goes through with it. I have my doubts.
So, from what I am hearing Vult did NOT ban anyone, he threatened with bans, that part was indeed correct, however, he never banned anyone, the server host banned one player. I just wanted to clear that up for people. So that was my bad.
Thank you for the clarification Danny.
Well, it seems the ip bans were indeed a real thing and not just a bluff . A few players actually got banned, I will not list them here as I don't know the full amount. Vult is not playing around anymore and has showed how serious he is. Now if we can just get more bow range, classes with skills etc. and get this game moving in the right direction.
So it seems Vult is cracking down finally and has given out ip ban warnings to quite a few players. They will be prompted upon login with a warning, then they are gone if another issue arises from them.
I'm shocked, wasn't sure if the rumors were true or not but this is a pleasant surprise. Keep it up Vult.
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.
We shall see.
From Aengie(Aug 31st):
This weekend : Maps , Weapons , Bosses , Npc's ,Quests Etc. 🙂
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.
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.
