I must admit, entering this game as a solo player is very difficult even if you join a guild, its much better to enter the game with a friend because youll be amazed how much just a team of 2 can do despite the risks of dying. Or..unless you luck out and meet the right ppl within a guild, the game can be very fun and helpful. Also, being in a guild has its benefits but at the end of the day, youll still need to do things solo sometimes or in a pair or just willing to do it cuz guild members cant always be there to help

[@CommanderStove]

You should have played it when Spiritism was a thing. Two Spiritist stream sniped a guy for 18 hours one time. Had him on the brink of tears. For those that do not know Spiritism is like playing a completely different game. You are able to go through a portal, become dead, roam the dead realm where normally you cant see the living. However Spiritism has a spell that allows you to see the living in this realm. So you can create a portal, come out, shoot someone with laser beam, kill them, then go back through the portal. You come out of the portal with 10 health and are naked, but you always make sure to time it when the person is in trouble with PVE/AFK etc. You get to choose when you attack and the other person has no idea you are there. The bad part was the books for spiritism were gated behind two hard bosses which most in the game could never do even with guilds. So you had these spirit gods roaming the world killing everyone playing a hack and slash full loot game. Its just as crazy and nuts as it sounds. I think they recently took out the spell that allows spiritism to see the living in the dead world to fix how broken it was. Because the game was so broken and probably still is spiritist could also solo the two bosses required for the books. They would open a portal, go through, shoot boss, jump back through portal. Coding was so poor that the boss never had time to react nor regened health. So if you had 1 good spiritist he could get friends books or even sell on market/ebay.

I put around 120 hours into this game. It was very enjoyable in the begining, especially on the tutorial island. But then you get to the mainland and realize theres no much to do. The world feels so empty whilst being huge. It actually made me depressed on how empty the game felt. It has a lot of potential if they added more things to do aside from pvp such as more dungeons, bosses, and loot to obtain.

[@alreawon1212]

True. This game needs more enemies like bandits around the world, more points of interest. There's too much empty land. And it's very rough game for solo players. You can't do anything if few players attack you. Numbers win, not skill. I think it's a problem in most open world PvP games unless it's designed in a really good way. I could only abide 450 hours in this game as a solo player.

[@Eventide215]

It's a great game. I also got mine gifted to me. The only thing is, as said in the video, if you're soloing it's a horrible time. This is a game where you *need* to be in a guild or group to deter people from murdering you. The issue currently is there's little to no guards in the game even in lawful places. To the point it's like the second you leave town you're in a lawless wasteland. That coupled with the veteran players being bored and just murdering lesser equipped people creates such a toxic environment that most new players leave Haven, get murdered, and just quit.

[@CandysChannel]

@@Eventide215 Is it possible to join a guild to get help even before starting the game?

A very fair assessment. I played for a few months on release and encountered everything that you have mentioned. I would have hoped that things would have improved by now.

I would recommend the game though to anyone because they may just find that the game is something that they would enjoy, but it is a very niche game.

The lack of resets is what kills it for me, just like Conan. I want to enjoy a game like this, but coming into a server where, in the case of Conan, not only is one faction geared to the teeth, but damn near rules the entire server, always kills it for me. I'm a solo player, due to my own schedule, and utter distaste of people, so, just going in with a group of friends is a bit rough.

[@SilentNecrosis]

Well... there's not a single guild that just owns the map. Honestly not even really possible given the scale.

[@mynameisawesomeman]

Remember, players come but also go. Even big established guilds can get bored and move on. This brings them effectively out of the picture, and allows others to compete. That said, as another poster here said, the map is so big, that's it's really hard to dominate the whole thing.

Gear is consumable in this game. It's always changing hands or dura cycles it out of the game. putting together a full steel set is no big deal or if you know where to go you can simply farm up a bit of reptile

You sound just like me lol that’s my problem as well

[@Eventide215]

Your gripe with Conan is your own fault really. When browsing for a server you can see how 'old' the server is. If you're joining something that's been around for a while you know what you're getting into. Complaining about that is just showing your ignorance. As for MO2, a reset isn't necessary whatsoever. If you're a solo player the game is going to be much harder for you, but still playable. Just get yourself established and get some kind of word of mouth. If people start to recognize you, they will change how they feel about murdering you.

The thing with this game is that it relies completely on players for the content. There are no traditional quests like in most MMO's and hardly any story or lore. Its almost like a medieval fantasy "create your own adventure" tool. So if you can find a fun group of people it sure has its moments, but then again, that can be said for almost anything in life. It looks great though, the map is really big and immersive and I love the fact you dont get an ingame map that shows your position so you can get really lost and it forces you to learn and navigate through landmarks, like rivers, mountains and towns etc.

Gets new updates, the elemental magic school just got added for example. And the fact that there is only one big server on one big open map means there are always plenty of people around in all the towns. Sure its not for everyone but even as a solo player there is stuff to do like gathering and crafting, or explore the map and hunt creatures, try out different builds with weapons and spells etc. Its actually pretty good to be honest and as long as you dont take more stuff with you than you can afford to lose the pvp is alright. The roads in and out the major towns can be dangerous but once your out in the wilds most people actually are mostly pretty friendly.

I have a ton of good memories in the game and it can be so much fun, yet you can pretty much forget about seeing certain places if you do not have a large group of people that you play with and usually, you need to play like they want you to play and keep track of politics.

[@lucasvieira1717]

The truth is... every open full loot pvp often attracts the most cancerous type of playerbase -> Those who group up to gank and harass low level players for the sake of "lulz". This kind of game needs to improve its mechanics to make new players experience or solo players experience bearable, otherwise it will be nothing more than a niche game destined to fail. Albion was successful in this area. However, EVE couldn't because even "early game decent content" can only be found in places guarded by gankers at the very gate.

[@finegamingconnoisseur]

Nice to see Haven relatively empty compared to the mainland, all this while I thought most players were on Haven. There are several hundred instances of Haven if I recall correctly, though you can instantly teleport to other instances if your friends are on a different instance. Once on the mainland however, there are no instances and the real game begins. Thanks for this video, gave me good laughs here and there. Hope you're having fun. Feel free to add my character Leorias to your friends list if you need someone to tame a horse, craft a spear, Tindremic Guard armour or shield. I'm a solo player myself, it can be hard at times but not as difficult once you've gotten things up and running and can be quite rewarding. Also, all those players in town looking at you after you emerged from the Fabernum sewers was likely due to the gear owner you stole from telling his friends and guildmates about you. The game's one character system means your actions stay with you long after your criminal status wears off. Those players who heard about you will now remember what you did.

Great video, and it totally hits the nail on the head. As a veteran of Mortal Online 1, I can say with certainty MO2 feels unfinished because it is far from being done. The developer promises the same content from the first game, plus more, and they are far from delivering on the initial content. I highly recommend anyone into MMOs (full loot and not) to check out MO2.. but not until it has all of the content MO1 had. Right now the game is mostly full of veteran players building up for the expected increase in population as the developer slowly adds content. If the developer pulls it off (and I personally feel they will), this game will be one of a kind and worth the time investment. The biggest issue this game will face when it is ready is if enough people have been turned away from trying it too early or not. Honestly, the game should be an early access game on steam right now.

Mo2 is lit; the drama and stories that will unfold between guilds when we actually get territory control should be amazing … it’s a hard game to keep your friends playing but joining a guild is addictive , as you will soon find yourself only playing MO if you join a guild but alone you will most likely quit very quickly . In MO1 we had a long + rich history of all sorts of wars , drama, espionage and sieges in game and on message boards (which was half the fun , recounting battles and seeing who was willing to lie to cover up their loss and help their hubris) until MO1 was “abandoned” for lack of a better term and the forums were wiped due to a number of eff ups on star vaults side (indie devs should always protect their games with trusted anti cheat and should never link account databases with real life info like SV did) . This game and it’s genre definitely has potential to be the future of mainstream gaming (or at least bigger than the small niche it fills now) the question is how do they get the normies interested in these types of games when they can’t just press a button to respawn with all their gear , without ruining the original vision of the game ; which ultimately makes it so gritty and addictive.

nice vid man. I've been playing mo2 for a few weeks. It's super janky on par with an alpha game but with enough content to keep you busy for 1000+ hrs. This game is best played with friends whether they are you guild mates or just friends you make by spending time in towns.

[@archonwarrior9146]

The game itself is not as bad as it may seem at times when you play it. I played MO2 for about 300+ Hours with a very small group of friends, simply because soloing from the beginning requires you to be a masochist, and we avoided PvP as much as it was possible. The "Problem" with the game is the core idea of an hardcore open world full loot pvp focussed game that is set in a persistent world. Even within the first week after lanch you could feel the snowballing of zerg guilds just running down everything because they have more people and thus resetting the progress of others while rarely dying themself. Immagine playing LoL, but instead of games taking 30-45 Minutes at best its just one continuous game. Those who play the most or with the largest group (admittedly you at least need some amout of skill even with large groups) just snowball out of control and new players will never even have a chance to get to the same level, except for when they join them. As sad as it is, because the game would have been a massive success as an PvE focussed game with limited consensual PvP, MO2 will just vanish in the abyss of failed games exactly like its predecessor MO1... which is literally just the same game but with bad graphics.

Honestly such a good video! As someone who’s put a fair bit of time in, explored about 90% of the massive map, and most end game dungeons, there’s something I’d like to add: VoIP is gold in this game. The hilarious role playing and player driven side quests make it. You need to come in expecting to interact openly with other people, otherwise you won’t have fun. Additionally, this is a PVP game first and PVE second. Don’t expect to be able to just farm and merch your way to lots of money. You can, and guilds do, but the game becomes exponentially more fun when you embrace the cold-hearted pvp massacre that is waiting around every corner. Learn to pvp, be ready to fight everyone, and you’ll have a good time

[@Nightweaver1]

Josh Strife Hayes also agrees with you. Not saying you should, but you should totally duel him in this.

Fair Critiques, great video. Welcome to Mortal, you'll be back ;)

[@gustavomolinari7522]

Cool things I find about MO2: 1 - Full loot. It is not about showing your gear or heading straight up to battle. If you die, your gear "dies" too. 2 - One character per steam account. YES, no single player abusing the economy by multiple alts. Everybody will need everybody because no one has the available skill points neither alts to master everything. Making friends matter, one may cook the best meals, another one may be the best weapon crafter, someone you know might be the best horse tamer and so one. No one will do all. 3 - No revealing of opponents. They only appear once you put mouse cursor right on them, so hiding matters, just like show in the video. 4 - Plenty of things to do. 5 - No cosmetics, no monetization, no cash shop. What I don't like: 1 - world feels absolutely empty of everything. Fauna, npcs, enemies, everything. 2 - Steep learning curve. There's no explanation for nothing. If you get ganked on see a mob in game, there's no info about it. There are no levels, stats nothing, it just tells you the name. What that enemy/mob can do is up to you to find out and you'll only know once interaction starts. 3 - Stats are a mess, there's no exact explanation in game how they work. It can be difficult to figure out. 4 - Did I mention empty world? PS: Full loot games require you not to expect much and specially not spend more than you may. Don't get attached to gear, gotta focus on your friends and the fun you may be having.

[@The_Gallowglass]

This is my suggestion to any noob, as someone who played the original Mortal Online: Make friends fast. Get in a clan if possible. Day one in MO1, in Tindrem, I got to talking and ended up having a clan and a good network of contacts. Makes the game more enjoyable when you have people on your side, even if you mostly play solo. Being a solo without any contacts is not going to go well for most people.

[@grymrammsolkbyrt6203]

Good video and worth a Subscribe. For me this pretty much sums up what I thought MO2 would be like, its a shame as if they added more pve and optional pvp it might garner more popularity. But sadly once subscriptions come in i can see the already low player base lower to that of obscurity, here is hoping one day someone manages a good balance of pve/pvp and make a genuinely decent mmo.

[@Eventide215]

That's why they've been looking into other methods beside a subscription. They have realized if they turn that on like 75% of the player base is going to quit. I'd be fine with other forms of monetization.. like small cosmetic pets, cosmetics for your house/stronghold, etc.

I've always wanted to try DayZ but I always hear how absolutely terrible and toxic the community is.. I'd be playing it alone or *possibly* with one friend if I could talk him into it.. so it sounds like it'd just be a miserable time. However, I do love the gameplay and mechanics of DayZ.

[@infinityfabrik]

@@Eventide215 I've played around 1000hrs exclusively solo. The only time I run with people is the people I meet in game. I've made more friends, and had more laughs playing DayZ than anything else I've ever done. Seriously. That reputation is from console, official servers (which are not moderated at all), and DayZ youtubers that do clickbait "Server admin DESTROYS cheater" (LUL) content. Are you going to die? Yes. A lot. But if you play effectively moderated community servers, like the one's I've suggested, you won't be dealing with blatantly toxic people (ie hate speech, etc). The struggle and difficulty of the game is the part of the charm, and what makes git'n gud so rewarding. There are a lot of people that will kill you and take all your loots if they know you're new, BUT there are also just as many people like me that are PUMPED to sherpa new players. It goes on sale all the time. Try it, say hi to people, put yourself out there, die a bunch. I promise, if you play the servers I suggested (except maybe the Zero servers, looking back now it's pretty KOS-y over there. Buncha brutal savages haha), and give it a real chance you will find a lot of laughs and a SUPER welcoming, warm, and supportive community. That's been my experience at least. Either way, love the vids. Keep up the great work!

[@Eventide215]

@@infinityfabrik Another part of my issue is I have pretty bad social anxiety. Which more than likely will get me killed and too nervous to do much lol. I've had similar experiences on Rust. Great game but the community can be.. horrible to say the least. There are some good servers though. Whenever I get jumped by multiple people, or talked to on mic with hate speech and such I suddenly get tons of anxiety and makes me almost quit the game entirely. So what I've been told about DayZ is based on my anxiety. If I could find a group of friends to play it with I'd likely enjoy it though. The issue is nearly all of them just say it's toxic and don't bother to look into it at all.
