I want to re-install PS2 and see all the new changes but then I remember they banned my fucking account over my credit card being cancelled do to fraud. No email asking for new cc info for my monthly sub, just a "fuck you, you're banned" email and of course customer support gave zero fucks. All that money and station cash just gone.
Who is this Cam, he sounds awesome?
Ohhh my goddd brooo let me wrap you up in snuggly wool and feed you cookies because you are just such a special little thing! The world owes you snuggles!
i've never played WoW in my life, and I guarantee you don't have a single thought on how best to compromise instanced versus non instanced dungeons.
You could also just do a system with a few contested names in the zone and the rest have keys for doors only your group can go through, or summoning items.
To expand on this, Valve is currently selling compendiums for the International 3. It's basically an in game book you buy for like $10. The International Prize Pool is increased by $2.50 for every Compendium that people buy and there are also goals that when reached provide compendium owners with cosmetic type gifts. As of right now, the the prize pool is $2,746,532 with the final stretch goal is $3,200,000. Being that the international is next week I don't see that one being met. That's a shitload of money they made off of basically nothing.
there is no compromise. You can't get a little bit pregnant. Since the advent of instanced content, I don't ever in my MMO playing life recall ever thinking to myself "wow! this is amazing, if EQ only had this it would have been so much better"
A system where, say, 90% of a dungeon is uninstanced but there are two rare spawn named mobs and the only way to get to said named mobs is by finding the keys to their "instances"? You find the keys off of roaming named at 100% drop rate and .2% drop rate off random trash? Then once you have the key you go into your own instance of their room but it could be a placeholder instead of the named and once it's defeated you get ported back to the other side of the door and have to start farming again? I could get behind that. Especially if the keys only drop off of trash in a small vicinity around their "instance" door and it's highly contested. So your group can decide to farmed the contested named throughout the dungeon or try to farm these highly contested keys.
im picturing this concept within the crypt in Seb. The 4 skele named can drop the instance piece to get into Emps room. But I mean the point of instancing, it seems anyways, is to allow multiple groups of players to experience the same content. So i guess that'd have to be considered.
Considering it had instances content before wow even released there's a good reason you never thought that.
