You need to make some safe roads

marcb2025

Guys,

You have a spreadout map. I understand there's no fast travel but you need to figure out a way for a lower level toon to be able to move around the map on some basis without getting perma **** by hawks and ravens. Some roads need to be safe to travel between major areas. Make them take twice as long, fine. By the way, These roads seem pretty nice. How were they built and maintained with constant state or bird **** in the air?

And with the way view distance works with the server workers, sometimes a completely empty path suddenly spawns three things in front of you that weren't there a second ago 😆

The roads in the middle of the map are a trap. You're better off just going over the terrain, which is dumb but whatever.

Also, for those stuck in the anvils up north, you know the abandoned portion of the game, go all the way east and hug the mountain range and head south. There are no roads, but the terrain is almost exclusively mob free. it's a long boring run.

I suggest airships or something with central hubs to mitigate running from Qeynos to freeport five times a day. The map is the right size when you're in a region like the anvils. Need to run somewhere ok five to 10 min, crossing the whole map 30 to 45 minutes, dumb. Make the airship take about 15 min to cross the map. Get a nice view of the world. No Insta teleport crap like Plane of knowledge, that does ruin the game.

This is up there with the "dynamic spawning" Mortal Online 2 added where randomly the game would drop an entire pack of unleashable bandits 5 feet in front of you. If you do not have a mount you just die.

as for the roads, I agree they need to adjust either the speed of enemy mobs, the leash range, or add more spacing between their spawns. I've gotten better about maneuvering around them, but you definitely just die multiple times to figure out each mobs special aggro range and lethality. Wide curves around birds and wolves. you can get pretty close to minotaurs and bandits. stuff like that.
