Wait that's what PoE is minus the MMO features.

They made a 2 act ARPG, then 3 acts, then 4 acts, then 10 acts.

That would be interesting for a MMO. Make one zone with great mechanics and an expansion plan, go from there.

Asherons Call was basically this model and it was amazing to have monthly patches with new content every month.

While you fags were out playing EQ, I was heeding Asheron's Call.

If you saw a mountain in the distance, you could climb it.

Monthly storyline and content updates.

Truly open world.

Amazing game.

You fuckin bet I had one of those hides in the early days before they 'fixed' them lol
I also had PPGSA. The good old days. I actually had it later on DT because the duping bug, my brother and I reckoned that they would ban the dupers so we concocted a plan. We found where they were doing it near Al Jalima in the desert from someone in our allegiance. So my brother would run by when they were logging in and out to do it. They would wait a minute after seeing him, then would figure he was gone. So then I would run by and loot the duped container before they could switch accounts to their throwaway mule acct. Took us like 7 tries for different people but finally found someone duping PPGSA. We had to do it twice so the guy must have thought he was screwing up the dupe because we kept taking them lol.

Anyway IIRC they banned a bunch of accounts and tried to clean it up as much as possible but because we picked it up off the ground and didn't get traded it they didn't have a record and never removed it from our accounts lol.

Yeah, exactly. Show me a game with a good combat/gameplay loop. Show me you can get that done.

Only then do you get a ton of money to develop a whole world of content around it.
The problem is that the people controlling the money wouldn't know a good gameplay loop if it punched them in the fronthole.

This is what WoW did. They started with one zone in pre-alpha (Elwynn Forest) and polished the fuck out of it before moving on to make anything else.

There's a segment about 18 minutes in that goes through everyone that's left Blizzard. STOP GIVING THESE FUCKS MONEY. I tend to think Kaplan was way more responsible for WoW than Alex Afrasiabi, but I'd rather Alex play grabass with a 1000 interns and buy that game than the goyslop that Blizzard is churning out now. This isn't Blizzard.

At least when you sink money into an actual gacha game you're getting some sort of virtual goods in exchange. Spending money on a gacha simulator to get virtual virtual goods seems beyond absurd.

Pretty much all liberal white women. That makes so much sense.
That's not the dev team, though. That is most of the women who work at the office during women's day in 2016.

Who needs critical thinking when you can lap up the narrative? The fact that Lanx posted it should be enough by itself to make you do a double think.

Just the idea that their dev team would be that small when they're a fucking monolith is silly. Go look at any of the credits for their last few games and you will see tons of men in all but especially technical positions.

I mean it's Ubisoft garbage so half dozen of one six of another.
