Well here's the thing... For years people have been told by some of the people actually posting in this thread that there was no money/interest in a game like this and to stop derailing threads.. Now its centralized and those same people want to come here and basically say the same shit they used to bitch at the old school player about..it's not just a difference in opinion with some.. It's a whole gaming philosophy.
Well we still don't know about the interest and money part. This is a really small sample size but should be interesting. Those people concentrating here now always did derail threads and now that someone is attacking their precious they are seeing what it's like. The main problem is that it's possible to actually like different kinds of games with different target audiences. The industry needs more damn diversity. The more successful games that there are the better for all of us no matter what type of game you like.
You're right.. They do need diversity.. That's why people want this to be an EQ/VG hybrid.. So with that comes some expected features.. It should look more like those game than the new games or even wow.. Which I always disagrees wow and EQ were not close to me..
I'd be happier with that than with FD probably. I'm sure my inability to accept it also reflects on my dislike of the boredom of single pulls. I always found the GIANT CLUSTERFUCK INCOMING GOGO TEAM ENCHANTER pulls to be more entertaining.
I don't think FD should be as accurate as it was.. I just think it's something that needs to be revisited for situational pulling.. Like I said earlier.. A dungeon should be changing and challenging groups at every turn.. You should never have the perfect group class wise for an entire dungeon. I want our classes to have tools that we can use when we hit a wall inside a dungeon.. Plan a, b and c that is thought of by group input.. Mezz won't work? Ok let's try FD... FD failing? Let's try root and OT add..
Thus my wait for more twitter followers comment. Info about the game hasn't spread that far into the wider MMO community.
Seriously. I do not hate twitter, facebook, myspace, google+, whatever gets your dick hard... But I like to keep my gaming habits my dirty little secret and pretend like I don't like shit like this IRL. I am immediately turned off by anything related to any game that forces me to login with facebook, like this page, get your friend to like you liking this page that you liked, give us the name, phone number, and physical address of every person you've ever known who might have electricity so we can market to them, etc etc.
There isn't even a game to dislike right now. So how could I appear to not like "anything about the design, mechanics, or principles of the game" on a game that doesn't even exist? We were discussing old mechanics used in Everquest. This game isn't Everquest. Which seems to be something you are confused by. Until there is concrete information available on Pantheon then discussing any and ALL game mechanics is fair game. This happens with every single new MMO that gets announced and people are not going to stop being critical of developers, or their games just because you happen to be excited for this one.
I don't like when they offer in game rewards for using social media as well. Titles, and cosmetics because you friended them on facebook is lame.
lol These are the same people who are currently playing the TESO beta weekend as I type this yelling IT'S BETA as both the excuse for every single flaw in the game and the reason why they should never be mentioned.
That's cool. I got no problems with that response. But the whole, "fuck you, fuck that, eat shit and die" stuff......lets keep that in the political forums. I totally respect your point of view in regards to MMO's and look forward to any opinion you have. In the end, were all gamers here. That's why I joined the FOH forums in the first place.
Oh blah blah I'm so hurt. You tried to bully a poster out of the thread. I'm going to put you, or anyone else who does that shit, right in their place every single time. So don't cry sweet prince.
I don't even care who knows what game I'm playing but I also abhor anytime anything wants me to start connecting shit to social media. Make it an option if you must, but allow me to disable it easily (Preferably disable it by default)
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I don't disagree so much in the end result as I do in the implementation because it's just ultra retarded when I think about it haha. Maybe monks being bad ass ninja mofos can do some sweet ninja kick every 30 seconds that breaks a mobs leg and slows it super super super slow so that it gets to group way after the rest. For a long pull he can further split it up by breaking more legs. Something like that would just seem more SANE (though of course you'll have the fun moments when the monk break's a snake's legs. that'll teach them to kick)
Ha I'm moving on. This is a lot of energy for a class I don't play. My big point is there needs to be lots of utility options that the game is designed around.
Even when the APIs are dead simple, its just not something you want developer time/resources going into either. Just about anything else would be more useful. Even as someone who uses Twitter/FB for other reasons - people literally ignore all that spam from games, unless they write bots to respond/answer, and this isn't that style of game (Farmvile, etc). The feature just has no redeeming value. No one is gonna look at your ding level 99 spam and answer back.
