Re: My opinion and hopes for the flying system as a AH fan.

Presumably they're trainable because they'll be Gliding Mounts, rather than Flying Mounts.

Change character apperance after creation?

Is this at all possible, or will be possible? Heard mixed mentions of it, I'd like to adjust the character I've created but also not keen to reset from lvl 10.

It's pretty darn shite. And looks terrible.

they're better now without that initial gradient border. but somewhat difficult to navigate. I have been away for a week and i wasn't exactly trawling through the forum so hopefully reorienting shouldn't be a huge chore.

We currently don't really even get the one we choose. We look different to other people than we do to ourselves.

Re: Designing the Rogue to be less about stealth

I personally like true stealth on a rogue. A rogue that is lacking in stealth capabilities doesn't live up to the fantasy for me. I believe most people think of stealth/invisibility when they think of a rogue. Shimmer stealth is a bad idea imo. It would be too close to the ranger and over time, anyone who plays the game long enough will have no issues locating the rogue. I believe a good way of balancing the rogue is simply by giving some classes ways to reveal stealth like very wide aoe like caltrops, mage light, and evil hunter. These were all in eso and I found it to be good for dealing with rogues. If you reduce the ability for a rogue to successfully engage from stealth then what's the point of playing one? I think they fill a certain class fantasy and that's ok. If they give you too much trouble then counter build.

Steven is ok with friends resetting corruption.

I wanted this to go to the feedback section for alpha two,but I couldn't figure out how to make a post there. If a mod wants to pull this topic down there it be great,thanks.

First off, I am very much enjoying the game so far despite it being in alpha. My Issue comes from this discord conversation a youtuber's video brought to my attention. So basically, Someone can PK you. Than that person goes red. At that point you just call a guild member over to kill you it removes the red flag,and the lost items the guild member picks up,and hands back. This sounds like a broken system, yet Steven says its OK. I'm just a single player voicing my opinion. If this is intended you won't be seeing me subscribe to this game at launch, despite me enjoying the alpha so far. Again, I'm leaving my feedback to let the devs know some people are not OK with this,and will pass on this game because of that. Hopefully the devs see this is a issue,and makes adjustments. That is my hope. Good day!

They will not. Because they've known about this issue for years and then literally saw this issue in practice during the entirety of A2. And they've done not just nothing to address this, but, as you point out, are completely fine with it.

Steven's stance on the losing side of this interaction is "losers must suffer".

Re: Suggestion: Penal Labor & Node Work Camps – Enhancing the Corruption Loop

This would solve so many issues and prevent the red from respawning and running back until they drop their weapon. Having reds do some sort of city board to escape would cause bounty hunters for that city too. Sounds like a win win to me. Excellent idea!

Re: Suggestion: Penal Labor & Node Work Camps – Enhancing the Corruption Loop

I personally think that archeage did it best with the court system, illegal farms, and judgement upon death. it was such a nicer system and created great moments socially. Make the prison sentence a bit more fun to play and it would be great. The ultimate goal of the corruption system is to reduce the amount of malicious encounters with other players. Well, they cant encounter anyone maliciously on a prison island shackled to a ball and chain. Do the crime do the time. Letting people just die and be ready to go out and cause problems immediately after is just not good.

There are so many ways to reduce or completely make null the current system. namely the fact that once you hit max level exp debt is pretty worthless. Sure you get some stat dampening, but you need a ton of exp debt before that seems to matter at all. And who cares? solo players are not going around attacking people and going corrupt. Its large groups that can easily go help grind of exp debt and remake gear lost that benefit most from the current corruption system.

Polar for example went and indiscriminately attacked anyone running packs to seahook a few days ago when it hit village stage. They made over 400g in profits. If anyone in their group went red who cares? thats enough to buy plenty of gear or materials to reimburse their gear. THATS ASSUMING THEY EVEN DIE. Because lets face it, if 40 dudes kill someone running a pack and one guy goes corrupt, they can either get away and kill them theirself for the easy gear secure or just flat out do it there. Exp debt is a joke to these people.
