View Full Version : So is it shit?

Anyone care to rub out a review on this fucking thing based on preliminary experience? We all know a dog the minute we see it, when it has no hope of success, regardless of how little is "enabled".

How much fun is the game in its current, hacked up, state? How enthusiastic were you about MO before beta? How enthusiastic are you now?

It's tough to say so soon if it's a game we should be gearing up for... but is it one to really watch closely? If it's either super awesome, or super shit, the answer should be no.

MO? what MO?? From what i understand its gonna be a while until its a real game. The current beta is actually like alpha but then again i am not in it so i have no idea i am just filling up some time till the real alphabeta testers come along and share the truth with us.

well i dont have mortal kombat so its only appropriate i get the first post in this thread.

the game seems extremely buggy and i hear only like 100 ppl can log in at once despite all the betas they sold lol.

i watched goobles play it on a video stream and the graphics look better than niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger but the world is empty like niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger.

the combat looked kind of better than niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger because there was like realistic delays but i only saw a fistfight because they only have 1 type of weapon made and when i saw it, it equipped backwards like the model had just been added

dicks everywhere.

the game has kind of cool ragdoll physics unlike niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger. and ppls bodies can be manipulated after theyve died. goobles made a niggerniggerniggerniggernigger guy so everyone kept trying to punch him and he ended up fist fighted this guy to death. afterwards he was able to kick his legs around and stick his foot into his butthole. im not sure if this is ok or not.

summary: if niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger and mortal kombat had a baby it might be a good game

edit: fucking durthar..

It's too early to say whether or not the game is going to be shit, but from what I've played so far in beta, I'd say the game has the potential to be good fun.

I've probably killed over 100 players, a dozen decapitations or so - http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5157/decap.png -, and I think the game's melee is pretty good fun, when not lagging. I had some good 1v1 fights with other players, just after server-up, before the game starts lagging.

Graphically, the game is very nice and will undoubtedly get better when more assets are implemented - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u251S_VseAE

I think the game has promise, but it's a bit too early to say whether or not it'll be a 'good' game, at release, given that the game is currently only 1/10th the file size that the developers say the full thing is.

I think it's gonna be awesome. Minus all the bugs that are to be expected the core elements they have at the moment are very promising.

The combat still needs tweaking but has some very nice features. Like when you unsheath, you start walking, so you can't just run around people hack and slashing them. You can off course sprint with your weapon unsheathed but this drains stamina quite fast (stamina drains and regens alot quicker than in niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger).

The graphics are incredible in many respects such as the draw distance is absoloutly huge. It makes the world seem to epic and there are always huge snow capped mountains in the background and the sky looks amazing. All the textures close up do look pretty meh though, but i haven't botherd tweaking my ini to change any settings as they haven't made the menu in game to do that yet.

And yeah the world is empty but i know they have alot of features disabled at this stage of beta and just what to be testing the bare basics really. So will have to wait a while to see what happens with that.

its still server issues right now. nobody can really say anything since 4 minute playtimes of lag don't let you do much.


When it comes down to it, I'm thinking by block C we'll know if its shat or not because even with the server problems in block A... 4 minutes is enough to see almost everything offered to you in block A.

I can tell you one thing. The ai in MO is smarter than DF. It fought back. :rolleyes:



how enthusiastic was i before beta? skeptical, uzik got all pissy because he said i talked shit on the game or some garbage

how enthusiastic am i right now after/during beta? still skeptical... until they release a patch with more we don't even know if there 'is' actually more

From the little gameplay experience I've got:

I've not yet been able to craft anything, because of server errors, I have not got my first weapon and I have not talked to an NPC (since I was spawn miles from a city or in the lake of sausages).

The game currently has a lot of bugs. Since this is early beta/alpha though, I think it's OK to say that these bugs might be fixed. Not a lot of things are enabled, right now we can pretty much just walk around, hit each other, find bugs and occasionally kill a mob (and apparently craft and gather stuff as well).

The controls are god damn awful, but that's because they haven't enabled key remapping yet (God I hope they do soon). Because of this, navigating menus and the game itself becomes a pain in the ass.

The environments are really fucking awesome, I actually found a forest which was actually an forest. I ran into the forest, spun around and all of sudden I had no fucking idea of where I was. I had to run around for awhile to find something I could climb up on to see above the trees. They also have some problems with this though... As the view is pretty much "You can see everything, just like you can in real life", it feels kind of odd when you run on an empty field and all of a sudden trees just starts popping up before you. I mean, I can see that tiny river on that mountain fucking miles away but I can't see the huge fucking tree some 100 meters in front of me.

Other than trees, some stones and occasionally some grass, the land you walk on is pretty dead actually. For most part it's just green textured ground and it isn't nice to look at either since they only have low-res mood enabled at the moment.

Fighting actually feels like a challenge, since I haven't found the NPC that gives you a weapon though, I've only been able to play boxing matches. Works pretty well I must say, even though the controls are shit right now.

THE SKY IS FUCKING AMAZING, I FIND MYSELF RUNNING AND JUST LOOKING UP BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD.

I like what they did with the whole *you can see yourself* thing. Adds much depth to the game. Seeing your penis while swimming backwards is just awesome. Still needs some work though, but they are getting there.

All around effects are pretty fucking awesome. I love the effects when you die and I love the effects when you are dead in the ether world. The underwater effects is kind of nice as well (still needs some work though).

It's too early to say anything about the game though really, since it's so much they haven't enabled yet. I like the game right now though even through I haven't done anything but running around. When traveling it actually feels like you travel, you come to a new place. If I want to travel to that mountain 5 miles away, I can do that and it feels fucking awesome when I come there.

Still needs to be polished a lot but I see more potential in this than DF (if they can fix everything before the game releases). Right now the servers aren't working properly, so that's the first thing they'll have to fix. Can't wait for them to put in more stuff for us to play with. The game also seems pretty dead at the moment, but I guess that will fix itself with time.

Also: Penis.

You can edit the ini files in the engine\config folder to change your keybindings if you do not like the controls.

Best part so far - apparently crafting a bow has crashed the game and no one is in over the weekend to fix it. That is fine for now, but if they continue to not have some type of 24/7 support, people are gonna get pissed. Get some interns or shit in there.

I made a guess already that they probably don't want interns bashing around in there during the early stages when a /sneeze could crash the game client and/or the server.

Regardless of past experiences, you need to take everything as it is.
I'm not saying we should forget Darkfail altogether, only that MO and niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger are two different games, and MO is still really early. Give it time to show a bit more growth, say BlockC or D, than we'll know for certain how shit it's going to be.

They did have an intern in to restart the servers when they crashed one night but he failed for what ever reason. Sebastian told everyone on IRC and told us all to direct abuse at him. It was good fun.

Everyone who says they are getting the niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger feeling should actually go read the freakin forums. It's going to be nothing like niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger. Even if it fails it will still be a totally different fail to niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger.

It's not compensating for how much the game sucks. It's to tell you what features the game is going to have. Stop being retarded and treating beta 4 months before release as the final game. I've already had more fun than I had in niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger and i've had like 30 min play time.

Atleast the problem isn't that the servers can't handle the number of people. The problem is people keep doing things that crash the server. Obviously this happens less frequently with less peopl in. Hence the cap.

Anyway, doesn't look like DF has made it out of beta yet

My friend who still plays just told me this:

Jon says:
*a lot of problems are happening with niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger xD
*bags are doing strange things
*people can't log in or out
*SG's of guilds are showing up clanless
*people inside towns can go gray without getting hit by zappers
*HAMLETS ARE DISAPPEARING!

*wait, servers are down now :)
*just crashed!

The Beta IRC channel is full more often than the server itself. I have yet to get into either of them.

Anyway, I counted niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger as a complete and unredeemable fail only after it was confirmed that more than 95% of the game was based off of deceit.

Only thing Mortal has been shown to be deceitful of was withholding the cost of the preorders. And that still wasn't lying so much as just being sneaky. - So far..

its 5:30am and i just woke up from this dream.. it all started when i was creeping around town observing various dream-land shrubbery species when i notice a friend of mine has this truck thing.. and he is chasing this niggerniggerniggerniggernigger guy around in it and they are driving all over places they shouldnt be like a getaway chase.. so i jump into this vehicle i manifested from thin air and begin helping him to chase.. we finally run the niggerniggerniggerniggernigger guy off the road and go back to my house.

so everyones laying around and i keep hearing choppers overhead, so i peek from the window every now and then and i just ave this feeling they are looking for me.. and then out of nowhere atnas appears in my room and he has the blanket wrapped around his head all weird and he starts making this "BA BA BA" noise and trying to bite me.. i got pissed and was going to hurt him but decided not to and walked into the living room.. i told my mom atnas was trying to bite me and she said to just deal with it and when hes like that no one can talk any sense to him..

so the choppers are still flying around overhead and i decide to go back to the place where everything was going down, which is like the center of town where i grew up..


im noticing some patches of deep red grass and im thinking to myself "whoa thats neat" when this crowd of niggerniggerniggerniggernigger folk come out of the building and start walking toward me shouting protests and what not.. they are saying things like "GET HIM" and "THATS THE ONE"... so i figure im done in at this point.

then all these police squad cars roll up and they all get out and form a line to start singing DMX-lord give me a sign (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx44uwb3t-c) and everyones carrying on singing it together..

so im just like w/ever if they arent going to arrest me and i go to start walking away when one of them yells "better watch your back fool!" ..but im feeling pretty bad ass at this point so i just keep walking and then the George Thorogood starts playing into the air and i start singing along as i walk back home.

Tell us more about the crafting.

Crafting: A mystery.

First, you need to go get some material, I have managed to find wood and some sort of stone.

The stone, you can then refine to get different material (you can't make anything with the stone, so you have to refine it) by taking it to the refine master guy. He then gives you the refined material (I've got Nyx, Pig Iron, Silver and Gold).

When you have your material, you take them to the crafter guy. He then asks you (pretend you want to make an weapon now), which kind of sword handle you want. I choosed 2h Sword.

You then choose the material for said handle, I chosed Pig Iron (it doesn't say how much it takes, so you must go through the whole creation step before it tells you if you have enough/if you need more). You then choose a secondary "support material" (which can be the same material).

After this you are done with the handle and you move on to the blade. Here you can choose what kind of blade you want (examples are: Dagger blade 1, Short sword 3 and etc). I choose Great Blade. After you've done this you chose a material for the blade.

And then you click done, and whola, your new weapon is in your backpack.

Intresting fact: This system is completely text based. There is no picture which shows how the weapon will look or how said "dagger blade 1" looks like, you just have to experiment with it. If you don't know if "Pig Iron" is good for a blade, the only way to find out is to make a blade with that material.

Intresting fact2: You can put together pretty much anything made of anything. You can pretty much make a dagger handle made out of firmwood with a Axe blade made of gold on top, this is pretty fun.

Intresting fact3: Some steps have "how much material do you want to use". This confuses me because the scale is between "0.0000" and "1.0000", however "0.5770" doesn't actually mean 5770 of chosen material. It's more like "how much of the blade do you want to make with this material". Still doesn't say how much though, so you just have to get more material if it shows you're missing something when you're done.

Omley Boozebeard
07-27-2009, 02:58 PM
Yeah. I'm assuming it will be different by release. I hope it atleast tells you how much material you need and I personally thinka picture would be nice.

07-27-2009, 03:01 PM
So I could make a 2handed dagger? I could make a 2handed DAGGER?
This is awesome. Awesome like the golden Deagle in CODpiece4 only moreso and less gay.
I'd never make any kind of weapon out of pig iron though, but as it seems to work just fine for chopping people into arms, I say crafting sounds cool!

Atnas
07-27-2009, 03:33 PM

Crafting sounds pretty neat, very open ended. My only worry with it is that there will be definitive materials/combos that are superior and everyone will use. I take it they have fixed the servers?

The servers are in a fluctuating state according to IRC. Sebastian seems to be getting frustrated because alot of tasks are crashing the server and they are ahving a hard time getting the good info from the beta testers.

Crafting was said to be rather plain as the minigame for it has not been completed yet. But I am hoping out of the millions of combos, there is more than one good option.

See, that's the flaw; developers thinking that unqualified, unprofessional 'beta testers' from the Internets, will be somehow equivalent with QA certified testers who have years of experience in testing and documenting computer games.

The only reason an mmo should use 'beta testers' from the Internets, is to use them as guinea pigs, set loose in the mmo cage, with various experiments set up, and logging systems, to document what happens; stress testing too, of course.

Last week, before the new client, it was 100 cap. Then for the weekend it was going to be 800 cap. Problem is, the server was down all weekend.

Now IRC says no cap, dunno how many are play or if they are, because I'm at work, fuck work. Not that I'd blow off my job to run play this yet.

Currently Surly, to me, yes, it's complete shit. Because I have gone through the character creator dozens of times without creating a character. They have fucked up thinking, game server can be down, but you'll still log in to character creation because login server is up. No good way to know if the game server is down or up, so you try to make a character, nothing happens so you can assume the game server is down. At least now with beta IRC you can find out for sure.

It looks good.
The crafting variables will be cool, though I agree with previous comments that there will end up being certain templates people will use.
Combat might be cool, based on what I've seen other people do or I have heard of, yeah, it should be good.
Anything else, hard to say since it's not in the game yet...

- Well, the server seems to have 800 players in it, and I've heard about players getting a good hour or two of gaming, without disconnects.

Thank god. Maybe I'll be able to try it out tonight.


I will add, the mistake the devs really made was allowing so many in so quickly. I suppose if they can get through it fast, with the server crashing so much, and get it fixed, that this will be a good thing. If not, then it is a serious fuck up.

It's definitely going to make them work hard.

Right now, there's errors on the server which makes it crash. The devs goals right now is to sort these out so the server don't crash (I heard this happened even with only 4 people on the server, which means it has nothing to do with how many people that connects).

I also find the "logging in on character screen but still not the game" issue retarded, but devs have said they have acknowledged the problem.

The server won't be up anymore today last I heard, because the devs ended test phase for today, they are now working on a new patch, try again tomorrow (swedish time).

Also I saw a niggerniggerniggerniggernigger Count walking around, tried to kill him but the servers died.

west coast i noe excuse!

But irc is by far the most effective source of server status. It usually goes up around midnight west coast time, and then on and off every ~5 minutes. Sebastian has us test stuff so sometimes the server is only up for a minute because he wants us to stress stuff or find a limit or pinpoint a problem. Im very impressed with the amount of interaction they have with us. I just wish they had a beta forum. Mantis sucks ass, even Drhat agrees.

When they are selling you a beta which is an alpha instead of actualy PAYING you to play it then there's trouble ahead (Meaning they want cash not real testers). Even if it "could" be a good game they might already have financial difficulties and might speed up distribution creating crap.

In b4 you payed for a preorder of the game and not the beta, the beta came as an bonus.

Tharkon fargor
07-29-2009, 12:27 PM
Oh that's just a marketing technique. You're paying for the beta here cause there ain't no real game.
Why ellse would you pre-order a game that hasn't even been reviewed yet if it didn't include the beta?
I never got people who pre-ordered shit anyway. Only point would be if it's significantly cheaper but nowdays it's almost the other way around - cause you do get that sweet beta to, oh boy!

But don't get me wrong, I do know what you mean and in theory you're right but in practise I'm not sure that you are. I guess you could sue if the game doesn't come out. Depends on what contract/liscence you signed up on.
This is a way for them to get cash fast and have people pay them to test their game and as someone mentioned earlier they think that the random internet bloke is as good as a real tester.


PS: Though you do have my thanks. This is a good way to support new companies instead of having them sell their soul to EA or something. It's just that the beta IMO should always be free and the game should be possible to pre-order without it for a smaller sum than it will cost in the store.

Jolle Poker
07-29-2009, 12:45 PM
They have mentioned that they did start preorders early because they didn't have much money left. They hope they'll have a good budget until the game comes out and money starts rolling in on it's own. Also They'll get free beta testers (although the quality of said beta testers vary greatly).

And as you said, this is a small company, which means they don't print out 100000 copies of their game boxes, but a maximum of 10000, which makes the box itself much more expensive. Therefor they wouldn't make much money if they sold it for lower the value of what you could've bought it for in a store. Even through the direct download is much cheaper than the box version, I heard they actually make more money selling those - with less effort. The only reason they offered boxed versions in the first place was because the fans wanted it.

I do understand your concern though, I'm not exactly a fan of it either. But since they have good reasons (good for me anyway) I'm willing to turn a blind eye on it, as long as I can see the beta client evolve in a good direction.

Tharkon fargor
07-29-2009, 12:48 PM
Sounds good! Keep us updated then, as it progresses I might join you in and pre-order aswell if it seems to be going in the right direction. Mostly to support the effort though.

DrHat is a fag. I had an argument with him in which i was forced to give up due to lack of basic understanding of language on his part. He was un able to tell the difference between me qouting him and me just talking. He would keep saying things like "i didn't say that" when i wasn't even fucking qouting him. Also he told me i contradicted my self at one point and i spent 15 minutes trying to get him to point out where, in which time he tried to change the subject multiple times and ended up basically being adament i did but wasn't going to tell me because i wouldn't understand or some stupid shit.

i don't hate on MO's business model. small company, and matching egos are pretty rare. they've been up front an honest about development, which is more than anyone can say for Adventure Time. StarDork is at least trustworthy and has integrity. that, unfortunately, isn't enough to make a game good. but if they fail, it'll be for lack of talent, business management, money, or time... not lying to your customers.

i take a lot of comfort in that... but remain quite skeptical about this game being successful.

Anyone care to rub out a review on this fucking thing based on preliminary experience? We all know a dog the minute we see it, when it has no hope of success, regardless of how little is "enabled".

How much fun is the game in its current, hacked up, state? How enthusiastic were you about MO before beta? How enthusiastic are you now?

It's tough to say so soon if it's a game we should be gearing up for... but is it one to really watch closely? If it's either super awesome, or super shit, the answer should be no.

Combat has been fine for me, a few times it gets a bit laggy and silly shit start happening, but most of the time it's fine and altho slower than DF i feel it will be better than the spammy click fest that DF was.

Pros
+ It looks nice even on my aged rig.
+ No name filter. (Rapey is my char)
+ Gathering enough for a sword etc is relatively quick process.

Cons
- I have not found any mobs.
- I cannot craft anything even tho it chews up what i have gathered.
- I have no sound.
- Death animations are limited to a blood explosion, reguardless of what you do to them.
- Cannot loot.
- Hardly any NPCs.
- Shitty low budget interface (worse than DFs)
- Slot based inventory.
- Really early beta feeling to it.

I'd say we just have to wait awhile. I mean, they've said themself they haven't enabled everything yet. If they say they enable a bunch of stuff that turns out to be shit, than I will start bashing them. However, I see no point in doing that right now.

Also, Spinewire's list:


+ It looks nice even on my aged rig.

This is awesome, because it's using the lowest graphic settings right now. Can't wait to see it in with high settings.


- I have not found any mobs.

This is because there's like three places in the entire world that has mobs right now, I heard there weren't even supposed to be that many mob spots in early beta. They'll hopefully add more with time.


- I cannot craft anything even tho it chews up what i have gathered.

They turned it off, because it had something to do with crashing the server (last I heard, right now I'm in the middle of no mans land with limited Internet so I can't really check).


- I have no sound.

Common problem, a bug apparently.


- Cannot loot.

Looting is bugged right now. As they've turned of basically all messages that tells you "you can't do that right now" that means that you'll think it's lag/you can't loot when you try to loot an empty loot bag (most are empty). I've looted several times though, so I know it's working.


- Hardly any NPCs.

Beta.


- Shitty low budget interface (worse than DFs)

Worse than DF? No, nothing is worse than DFs shitty interface, god I hated it.

Still shitty? Yes, it defiantly needs some work and I think we should tell the devs what we feel about it.


- Slot based inventory.

I agree, this sucks ass. Apparently they'll put in some kind of weigh system later though, won't put a defiantly "fuck this" before I see how that works.


- Really early beta feeling to it.

No map is a feature, they intend to have a "map making" skill. No, I don't know how this work.

I agree on the can't rebind anything though, sucks hard. It is however a known bug and will hopefully be fixed next patch.

I don't think the art is so ugly, I agree though it could be much better looking and as I said, if we want something changed now is the time to say it, either on Manti(t)s or IRC (possibly PMs on the forum, but I doubt they'll read those seriously). You can't really say DFs art was much better though.

Next patch is apparently coming today or tomorrow (If I understood what Sebastian said on Manti(t)s).

Also, I know you don't have any other picture of me, because there are no other pictures I haven't taken myself. I've already posted one of those picture... The one with me wearing suit and a katana.

If you behave I might go into camerawhore mode and post some shots of me in wizard robe.

New patch up:

http://www.mortalonline.com/files/beta/Mortal_Beta_Launcher.rar

Above link is for an auto patcher, that will patch your files using an FTP server. This will apparently go online in around 4 hours.

However, you can download the new patch already with the usual torrent:

Don't know if we'll be able to play until Monday though, apparently Seb has the weekend of again.

No NPCs what so ever, also when you press X to get your arms out to fight it does not happen you just get a delay. Can't drag things to your hot bar now either.

A man stole a case of soap from the corner store. The police said he made a clean getaway.

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

I couldn't quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me.

There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'.

A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

Atheists don't solve exponential equations because they don't believe in higher powers.

Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy.

It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it.

My desire to be a dermatologist was only skin deep. I knew I was destined for osteology. I could feel it in my bones.

When William joined the army he disliked the phrase 'fire at will'.

Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

A hungry traveller stops at a monastery and is taken to the kitchens. A brother is frying chips. 'Are you the friar?' he asks. 'No. I'm the chip monk,' he replies.

A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said 'No change yet'.

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine.

Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A-flat minor.

There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils.

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends, but what would be the point?

Doubt it, they did not last weekend. I think they feel the more players online, the harder it is to find the roots of all the crashes so they are not too concerned about the weekends.

However, around block C/D they need to get in shape. If the server is up and holding strong, they can't just skip the weekends.
