    Am i weird when i say i want that if necessary Years later -> Sir Steven and his mighty Crew include and involve the scratched Node-Stage again ?

    Like scratching a whole Node-Stage (Town or City) helps in making the Nodes quicker. They don't have to design so many looks for every single Node, right ?

    But i hope the Nodes are not halfway made to a Joke now. Maybe this is just my fears talking here.

    ITs not for everyone, a creative decision. The issue for mmos is that they require a massive playerbase financially so from a design standpoint im happy its made as a design decision that isn't based on board meetings which attempt to attract the lowest common denominator consumer for cash flow.

    Reading through this thread is giving me flashbacks to the first days of new world.
    It was sold in previews/announcements as a lawless/high stakes/high reward PvP MMO.
    Terribly unskilled and lazy people complained about being killed and thingsbeing to hard, to which there were no end of people who jumped in to try and make the issue as bad as possible.
    Without putting hardly any effort at all into it the whole project flipped upside down and went in the complete opposite direction.ddvm4iifd5bi.png

    Yea they removed staggering and dumbed down the combat system because mmo players never played or were willing to learn souls-like or esque or whatever mechanics. Stagger was good, it made combat consequential, emphasis on attack dodge, startup frames, ending frames, were rewarding and fun and challenging. People wanted more brain soothe content and it blew.

    I always took the game isn't going to be for everyone as just a way to say its OK if you don't like it. Intrepid is definitely making a game that a lot of people have wanted, and wish to play. You can never make everyone happy, just ask Blizzard. Remember a lot of people hated how they changed WoW so much so they re-released the original game because that many people wanted that kind of game. I'm not worried about the audience Intrepid is going after. If you really don't like that it is group-centric, or PVX or just isn't easy enough then go play one of the other many games that meet all those other criteria. Steven is making something unique and interesting and I can't wait for it to be finished and I make my character for the last time.
