They stated that weather would have effects on game play. Examples given were crop yields based on times of season within certain bio-domes. Certain creature types become more available and I imagine that boss creatures are included in that cycle. Also Ice might block passage ways to better areas. They even showed an example of that.
I am interested in the game play as much as the world itself. I have no problem with creating a realist active world that feels alive as long as the game play is at least engaging.

It needed a lot, A LOT of work coming out of A1. It wasnt impossible that could occur but we've all seen this happen a hundred times where something looks subpar early in development and then never gets better. This...actually seems to be getting better?
One thing I felt a year ago was they should promote the environment designer and put him in charge of the UI and combat. That doesnt appear to have happened, hopefully the rest of the game improves to the same degree. I do think there's some interesting things they could do with this system, I hope it's not just fire and forget. Like imagine a quest where the season change goes as rapidly as in this preview and you have to find the weather orb or whatever that is controlling it
Also, the character models seem to have a bit of style and character to them now. Promising that we wont get full uncanny valley EQ2 in 202..2030 come release at this rate

Flavor stuff like that is cool and all, but the core foundation needs to be solid. Most of their recent stuff has all been fluff.

I agree. It is time they start showing and discussing things like the classes, crafting system, and the PvP system beyond just what you can read about. They have yet to showcase anything new in that regard since before A1. Everything has just been footage with no actual substance yet. Yes the game is pretty and seems to have great music and sound quality. Now lets get to the meat of the game.

Their list actually reads a lot like "stuff we always wanted to do at other MMOs, but never had the time."
This goes back to UO where they tried to implement a dynamic Fauna system, but had to cancel it because players just killed everything.

Warhammer was a good game that handled PVP pretty well. Too bad the game sucked donkey balls otherwise.

Environment showcase gave had me comparing it to Guild Wars 2 and BDO, less painterly than GW2 and higher quality than BDO, and the scale of the world seems well done. The running / jogging animation of the Vexx(?) character in the vid was smooth as well, which is a big plus for me. I doubt they've made much progress with combat though, but we'll see eventually.

Warhammers engine was a pile of shit but it was still a lot of fun for about 2 months. If I can get that out of this game it'll be a win for me and that might be the best hope if they keep putting off showing combat

Better than Alpha 1, although clearly still needs work
The idea of adding weight to the different weapon types is good and the combat seems fast paced. One thing that stood out though is some of the special attacks seemed to be weapon agnostic- like he did the bladestorm using daggers, plus that silly looking hammer attack

I did like how the 2 hander dragged on the ground. Combat was surprisingly fast paced. Definitely a major improvement over Alpha 1.
Also, and this has nothing to do with the combat, but the level of detail on the boulders was amazing. Game play matters more but this game will certainly be the best looking MMO when it comes out.

I dont know how I missed this video, but got around to it today. I agree that the attacks still feel off, so Im hoping that the polish and the addition of skills will fill in that semi-apparent looking gap.
Stephen does say that the attacks are agnostic of the weapon or the armor. Brought up New World for reference without saying New World and said he just isnt a fan of that. He wants to look at someone and know what class they are and what they can do with the only variance based off their talents.

I was thinking about something. They have said that there would be a different color version of the same items in the game. Cool. But they could they make NFT with the images and sell them to players? There would know what the hot images are then they could market the images as NFT.

Can you just go back to whatever forum you came from? Like... you're just predictable at this point and that says a lot when you're portraying someone fucking bat shit crazy.
