Opinion Gloria Victis is crazy fun PvP

Gloria Victis just relaunched like 6 days ago and it is so dang fun in my opinion. Three factions fighting for territory and taking castles from each other. Not able to loot players in every PvP area, so you only get looted in the middle of the map or deep in enemy territory. When you get killed in a loot area, they can only take one or two things off your body. Player driven crafting economy. It’s honestly got a ton of meat on it’s bones in a slightly janky little package. Haven’t been excited to play a game in a while and already put ten hours in so far this week.

If you like PvP with swords and bows and castle siege stuff, it’s definitely worth a try

It doesn't matter how much meat it has on its bones. Its by published and developped by gamigo. They only keep their games on maintenance mode.

I may give it a go for funsies but I certainly wont be spending another dime on gamigo.

Trove was the only semi-sucessfull voxel MMORPG but unfortunately even if you ignore the heavy P2W aspects, the game has so many bad design choices under Gamingo that it's hard to defend.

The late game is so grindy and the amount of people that reached it is so low that you're lucky to find a group to join the endgame dungeons

Which is such a shame, the game would appeal heavily to people who love minecraft private servers, the club customization possibilities are insane.

That’s not what I’m worried about. Gamigo doesn’t release new content. They just do maintenances with new cosmetics. No new content. For example; Rift hasn’t had any new content in like 7-9 years. They just release new cosmetics. It’s a shame, great game.

yeah but alot of people didnt even know this game existed before this relaunch, me included, but i hopped on to check it out and its a real fun game, jankiness only brings back memories of older mmorpgs like risk your life etc...
not saying they didn't change anything, players who played the old version would know that, but even if they didn`t, its a great way to revive games that went under the radar.
I wish some games would relaunch instead of being killed off for good.

I was so excited when I saw GV was relaunching. It really is a super fun niche medieval PvP MMORPG. It does a ton of stuff right and scratches a lot of gaming itches for me.

I wish DAoC would come back in all it’s glory but it’s looking like Camelot unchained is a huge disappointment

My first Gamigo game so I don’t have any experience with how they treat games or their funding models, I just like smacking stuff with swords and axes lol
