Nueva carte de los de MO.

Mortal Online Newsletter November - Free days added for old customers!

A few weeks have passed now since the deployment of the "Epic patch", the biggest milestone so far in Mortal Online's development and the differences are staggering.
With this new core in place we are striding forward in the development at an even faster pace than before, constantly improving both the game world and the mechanics while at the same time working on new and exciting features.

However, due to a problem in one of the systems we experienced issues with the latest patches and some before that. Causing frustration on both the player's side as well as on our's. This mistake should not have happend and it should not have happend to take so long to find and eliminate it. We want to apologize to our fans and customers and at the same time want to ensure them that with this specific issue found and new patching-procedures in place we are looking forward to delivering the quality that you can expect.

Of course actions speak louder than words, so in order to reimburse our customers for the grief the latest patches might have caused we are adding 7 days of additional gametime to each active account today. And in order to give customers who are not subscribed at the moment the chance to check out the new engine build and the new content, we are adding 7 days to every customer who bought any of the game versions earlier and does not have an active subscription at the moment.

We know that some people out there are still "on the fence" when it comes to Mortal Online, so as a little incentive for both new customers and our loyal fan-base we are offering you a special deal for the next 7 days:

If you buy 1 month of game time you get an additional 5 days.
If you buy 3 months of game time you get an additional 20 days.
If you buy 6 months of game time you get an additional 50 days.

Look forward to more content and events! See you ingame.

forcem #276 Nov '10

kranick #277 Nov '10

FrankyEsp #278 Nov '10

No se le puede matar, no tiene vida, y cuando le pegas es transparente. Se dice que cuando se apague la vela, el bicho bajara.

FrankyEsp #282 Nov '10

Ostias melannen, que estilazo.

SIRSANCHO #283 Nov '10

Arena de Tindrem activada para poder hacer torneos, hoy la hemos visto, y uffffff una pasada!

GaRoU #284 Nov '10

Uy sí, ahora mismo es un sitio donde simplemente todo el mundo se puede matar y punto. Un trabajo de programación enorme...

B

[Borrado] #285 Nov '10

Ya te digo, no vida en el Mortal por falta de contenido, quejandose de que solo hay PVP sin ningun sentido, y te meten un sitio donde pegarte....que grandes son los de SV, que vision de mercado!

GaRoU #286 Nov '10

Creo que se deben estar dejando los huevos en un parche gordo y más vale que no la cagen (de bugs), sino el Mortal no pasa de navidades.

Bueno, y si no están preparando nada gordo y siguen con el ritmo actual de NADA (desde el Epic patch no hay nada nuevo) sigue sin pasar de navidades....futuro muy negro le veo yo.

kranick #287 Nov '10

no veas garou pasas de que te guste mucho el juego a que no te guste nada tio, miratelo porque no es normal xDD te acuerdas de esa frase

bueno al tema, la arena tiene un fallo gordo y es que pierdes el loot dentro de la arena WTF para que coño quieres ir a pelear si pierdes el loot y te lo quitan ya no puedes volver a pelear eso es una cosa que no me mola

besitos y caramelos

kranick

forcem #288 Nov '10

a garou lleva sin gustarle el juego ya un par de meses xD

kranick #289 Nov '10

eso no quita que no le gustara antes xDD y esa frase ya se yo porque la digo

forcem #290 Nov '10

hombre ya se porque dices la frase ¬¬

porcierto ha pasdo ya mas de un mes desde #117 asinque na... seguimos esperando

kranick #291 Nov '10

naaa es una broma xDD y si ciertamente tienen que ponerese las pilas yaaaaaaa y como dice garou el parche tiene que ser tocho y con contenido porque si no chungo

GaRoU #292 Nov '10

Una cosa es trollear en una beta, otra cosa es cuando estás pagando...no me compares situaciones please.

Lo que me pasa es lo que le ha pasado a mucha gente. Estuvimos muuuucho tiempo de beta, donde ahí podías justificar muchos errores y demás...con la release creo que la mayoría seguíamos como en la beta (tanto como que no hubo ningún cambio de la última beta a la release...). Pero hay un momento que te das cuenta de que estás pagando cada mes un dinero por un juego que tiene demasiados errores.

B

[Borrado] #293 Nov '10

#292 Y si vieras que la empresa tiene una manera de trabajar muy buena no pasaria nada, pero claro, ves como esta el juego y ves como trabaja StarVault y se te quitan las ganas de renovar.

Ojala se le ilumine algo al padre de Henryk y resurja el Mortal de sus cenizas.

Preparing the content patch:

Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.

Notice of DirectX update:
Make sure you are running the latest version DirectX to avoid issues.

------ ADDITIONS AND CHANGES ------

General:

Player prediction movement and movement latency improved. (Should improve overall performance in large scale battles)
Fabernum guard zone slightly increased.

It is now possible to set a custom graze radius when issuing the pet command graze.
Radius can be set from 5 to 30 meters. Default if no radius is set is 7.5 meters.
Example: "graze 15" will set the pet to graze in the current area with 15 meters in radius.
The higher the graze areas for pets are, the better their loyalty is kept.

Things are happening! Players have reported an increase in Risar activity. It seems that Risar troops are moving from Herabalter to Gabaria. Reports were posted on the official forums about a Risar Lord and his warband getting attacked by players near "Cave Camp".

It also seems that in the yearly Raffle of Caerus, Bastilus the Usurer was picked from the blessed Urn of Fickleness. (GZ from the Dev team!)
Reports of the happy occasion can be found here. According to the ancient Tindremic rites the Raffle will continue till the end of what we call December.
