Ghost Recon Future Soldier Paratus
My thoughts exactly. I loved the first few GR games, especially multiplayer/co-op. The video looks like a fun game, but it looks more like CoD than GR to me. I'm sure I'll give it a shot but it's...
I want a spell like this in Mortal Online Henrik Nystrom
What I like about Dogmas magic system is that it actually fits our system and design in terms of reading and casting the spells. They also manage to do alot of "effects" without making it wow/guild...
PC - Hailcaster Henrik Nystrom
This have been changed for Awakening. Should be extremely effective vs players or a group of players closely togheter (AOE). And a tiny bit more damage on structures/sieges.
Focus Group Update #7 Paratus
The ocean water isn't finalized on the test server yet, so what you're seeing in that shot isn't as you'll see it on the release of Awakening. I think you'll quite like the new ocean water when we...
Focus Group Update #7 Paratus
The hotbar is the only thing in those shots there that's the old UI, and you might notice there's a flash hotbar on the right side of the screen, too.
Hey Henrik Henrik Nystrom
I didnt say anything about badanges, I thought it was about pots only.
Yes not being able to stack bandages is wrong, and thats a bug currently.
Since a bandage is the same item there is no technical...
Hey Henrik Henrik Nystrom
Stacking potions is nog a bug, it doesnt work like materials in general.
A potion is custom created by a player, just like a crafted sword with its own stats depending on many variables. You cant...

Concerns about awakening Henrik Nystrom

Performance Problem Paratus
Enabling "Enhanced mouse precision" in your launcher settings might help you a bit, but it seems to be an issue with the hardware that won't be COMPLETELY eliminated.
install problem,please help,what's should i do? Paratus
The most common two ways to fix this are:

a) make sure you have plenty of space on both your main system drive as well as the drive you're installing to
b) if you're running Windows with a...

The new UI in Awakening will feature an entirely new keybinding system. :)

We can easily plug in more "seeds" to our launcher for direct downloading of patches but those servers transfer multiple terabytes PER DAY.

Who is less of a douchenozzle wearing an asshat? Paratus
My vote was decided upon this thread being in the wrong forum. ;) Ah, crap, I guess I read the wording of the question wrong. Too late though!
Unable to download mortal online patch Paratus
Why aren't you using the launcher? We fixed the broken CDN server days ago, and each connection (each, not total) can get up to 100mbit from there.
So how has the game been? Paratus
A few days back we had issues with our download servers and they were not working properly. That's long since been fixed, though, and you REALLY should be using the launcher and not a third party...

You should be able to get 50mbit off of our download servers then, even if there's not a single seeding player. If you cannot, then something's wrong.

Bring back the old sword art! Paratus
What you see is a completely different type of blade from the great blade we have right now. I assume it might be back sometime in the future sometime after Awakening.

Yes we have, sometime after awakening.

Average age of a MO player... Henrik Nystrom
with that said, I do think you are somewhat correct though, the avrage age have gone up, especially if we count active players. As the poll slowly shows. Guess we could renew those numbers a bit more...
Average age of a MO player... Henrik Nystrom
correct, it should be 18-20, 21-30, 31-40 :)
Average age of a MO player... Henrik Nystrom
The option says 18-20, 20-30, 30-40 If I am 30, where do I vote? in 20-30 or 30-40 ? :)
