This is not a flame thread. This thread's intentions are to *debate* what needs the most attention asap.

Things needing addressed asap, in chronological order:

1. Combat - Mechanics - I've seen Atari games with more impressive combat mechanics than this MMO. Hit ranges, proper hitbox registers, lag generated from combat, collision detection, etc. Looting in water (exploit). Looting of restricted baskets (exploit).

2. Combat - Balance - Weapons, Armor, Stam use, run speeds, etc. PO weapons are OP and should be lootable, different adjustments for different weapons (axes slower/more damage than daggers/fists/etc). Armor should mean something besides good lewt for a naked man. Fists shouldn't be more viable than a weapon.

3. Combat - Skillpoints - There is no real difference between having 0 or 100 in a combat skill.

4. Baskets - Nameable - Baskets should be able to be named. It is nothing more than an annoying chore with lag and other issues when you are trying to find something in a tribe's basket array. Simply naming them would save soooo much time for the player to do a simple task.

5. Stat points - Degrading - Disable stat points from degrading especially since there is no known way to increase its value. No reason to penalize the playerbase that is dealing with the "release" and lag without being able to improve it themselves.

These seem like the most amount of game-breaking problems ive seen that should be easily resolved. Combat MUST be addressed asap, since it is the absolution of everything else to do in game. It drives the economy, adds various amounts of depth to the game, and is the driving force to KEEP PLAYERS IN GAME.

Ive already seen droves of people leave the game with no intent on looking back from various tribes because of the one thing this game lacks - COMBAT. There is nothing left to do in this game (really) besides keep building sand castles. Combat drives all of it even if the hardcore carebear refuses to admit it. The majority of crafting skills are really useless without combat working properly.

This needs addressed IMMEDIATELY, else all that will be left are the hardcore sandcastle builders...and when exactly will they get bored building? Well, I doubt it will be long at all...
