What Stories Players Are Allowed To Tell and How They Feel While They Tell Them
Hello! This discussion is about what characters fantasy game players like to play as and some issues moving from theatre of the mind to visual representations and in-game interactions. Storytelling and fantasy roleplaying as the heroes and heroines of those stories is deeply engrained in nearly every human culture. The way… -
Re: PvP balancing done right - by blizzard
This one reminds me to once again ask if one has time to discuss our lord and MMORPG Saviour the Tactical Point Gauge. (This isn't a response to you, George, I know you have nothing to prove). FFXI does not have much PvP, but if we reference just the idea that a class needs to do more damage in PvE but not outside of it,… -
[Wall of Text Disclaimer] Beyond the what... why?
So a lot of the inputs we get are 'what' related. What can we do? What things can we see in Ashes and so on. However, if I think back to any of my favorite MMOs, which also are still active after many years, I think of the 'why' I liked them not the 'what' I was able to do there. The 'why' that justified, why I was… -
Re: Recipe-less cooking with food as a soft requirement
As a large fan of food having meaningful effects in MMOs, I disagree with basically all of the 'Cooking Skill' section, and as usual, consider the other two sections 'basically part of any MMO that has actual cooking in it' anyway. It takes all of the fun OUT of cooking, for me, and as someone who quite enjoys cooking irl… -
Season Pass: Giant Pile of Gushing Praise #2
Let me preface by saying that my position in life allows me to know exactly what all the devs were talking about and how they achieved everything, terminology, etc, therefore this post is not really about 'how cool it is' exactly. I want to congratulate the team from the bottom of my heart for having the vision, the… -
Re: The corruption system and multi boxing.
I went to every website I could find that was selling gold in any game, and worked out who the company was behind it - most companies sell their products on 3 or 4 sites, as it gives them coverage. A lot of players won't use a website that is being spammed in the chat of the game they are playing, and sellers know it. They… -
Re: 2021 AoC Concerns
Ashes does have something for nearly everyone, the crafter, the gatherer, the raider and the pvper. That doesn't mean it's going to line up with each individual person's preferences in each area. The pvper might want full loot drop, consequence free at all times pvp, not happening in Ashes. The raider might want every raid… -
Re: Bard Desires Compilation and Analysis/Conversion
I really like that you managed to find a system that pretty much fits all the bard desires together. I can't quite picture your schema as vividly as I think you see it, but I can definitely see hints of flexibility - especially in Cadence and I love the idea of thematic states of combat. To address your questions:* Number… -
Re: Can't shake this feeling
I think the combat we've seen so far is very basic in their animation talent and I do hope to see a massive improvement and I know there will be for the animations so far has been pre-alpha. PAX will give us a better idea of what to expect but remember * PAX combat is fixed to the 4 Primary archetypes Mage, Tank, Cleric… -
