4-5 people isn't a viable population for repopulating anyways. Shit would be more inbred than a Lannister family reunion.

It will be like Battlestar Galactica. All this has happened before, and all this will happen again, and again, and again...

That formula -WAS- replicated back in the day. People forget that pre-WoW, EQ1 was used as the model. FFXI? Hell levels, long voyages/travel times, virtually no soloing. Even shit like Camelot or AO or whatever. The Korean MMOs more or less ran with the same base design back then (and still...

Archeage is probably the closest we came to what Shadowbane tried to do, but unlike Shadowbane, it has a lot more content than "95% of our gameworld is empty fields".

Which makes sense, but it also dilutes how much input any one individual has. Which is fine, but you also want to balance that between the player's ego as well. So for example: Month one of MMO: Town of Derp is attacked by orcs. They are hiring mercs to help defend the town. You are part...

For me, one of the strong suits of FFXIV is the main story quest. Heck, even for SWTOR it was a selling point. When telling a story in a RPG, the best way to get player buy in is to make them part of the story. WoW started this long ago, but SWTOR and then FFXIV really took it to the next...

No, I'd prefer XP from quests. Removing that and rewards doesn't open up avenues of play, it just creates guided mob grinds and for the specific example you gave, there is actually 0 reason to do the quest since nothing (including mob spawns) seems to be tied to the quest itself, at which point...

It came out in one of the updates. They got some OP cloak and the the ability to summon the entire faction to their location, among other things.

It wouldn't have worked in the movie. Ignoring the various other changes that ruled that out (like Saruman dying), it would have fucked with the flow of the movie. ROTK was already clocking in at 3 hours. The only way to fit the shire in would have been to trim lots of other scenes, and even...

You guys clearly don't understand how this works. MK11 has microtranscations and skins to unlock, right? You release some female skins later on that show more skin, people buy them up. EZ money. Even Blizzard has done that. Learn2Capitalism guys lol

I just don't see that being fun except for whoever is the politician. There is no "greater good" in a MMO unless you're slaved to a guild that requires all members funnel resources to a central repository. Good luck getting that kind of commitment outside of a top tier guild / one with a...

The MMO landscape is littered with the corpses of devs that had lofty plans for shit like you described, but never materialized because a) couldn’t get it to work b) no budget c) it wasn’t fun. Plus you have player psychology, so everyone gravitates towards the “best” faction, creating the...

Keep in mind that was born from player requests. Quests in EQ1 were pretty garbage. Spam random keywords at random NPCs and hope you trigger something. Players found step 10 and no one ever found the prior steps. Then it eventually was catalogued online and you followed the steps discovered...

Ya that sucked. I used to use the bridge teleport glitch in the Karanas to save like 60 seconds of running lol

The show runners have mentioned the scouring of the Shire in interviews, so NK is dead. Cersei is coming to fuck up some hobbits.

PVP "Crush n' Conquer" games that can erase weeks or months of work are always going to be niche. Everyone wants to be the wolf, no one wants to be the sheep.

Considering the drug abuse in that city, that probably ends up being the same thing.

Ya, ring events were dogshit. One of the worst changes they made in Velious was when they made Vulak only spawn after a shitty ring event. Thankfully we were more or less done farming Vulak at that point, but it sucked for people who still wanted the odd off item or new recruits.

lol, I forgot about project NPC. That was horrible for noobs. I remember spawning as a fire beetle and I was circle strafing some poor level 1 outside Freeport.

Final line of the show will be "...and here I thought I would only taste giant's milk once!"

BuT tHe WoRlD fEeLs ToO sMaLl!!! Make the journey once? fine. A few times? fine. But by the 100th time, you just want to fucking AFK and literally do anything else except make that stupid trip again.

That wouldn't change much. FFXIV's recent Easter quest was pretty much a puzzle that players had to figure out with virtually no hints in the game. I'm reasonably certain 90% of players just googled the solution and finished it that way. All removing ingame roadmaps does is make players...

Honestly if their goal is to subvert expectations, then I expect Dany to die or not get the throne. Like others have echoed, the death of Jorah and the loss of most of her dothraki and unsullied are going to harden her. In her eyes, anyone who didn't help in the battle of the Night King is in...

In an interview they let slip she was 800 years old, which means she could have lived in Valryia and why she seemed so powerful. I have to think that she was tasked with the singular goal of defending against the dead. Once that task was over, she peaced out like a vampire that just wanted to...

Right, people can have opinions, but probably half the posts here have basically boiled down to “this is how I would written the scene/this is how it should have played out”

They problem with the undead is traditional tactics are completely useless. They have no fear and feel no pain. But while they are fairly "mindless" individually, they also have a necromancer directing their actions. If you figure out a trick, then he figures out the solution and passes it...

The models in 9 were trash. Sonya looks like they glued fucking beachballs to her chest. I honestly like the realism approach in 11 in terms of outfits and models. Not just the women, but the men as well. Gives it a much more cinematic appeal. Anyways, if you like ultra tits, Jade still has...

Are you really surprised? Stealth rogues are fucking OP in PVP combat.

The Melisandre prophecy said Arya would close brown, blue, and green eyes. Walder Frey: Brown, NK: Blue....Cersei green?

Ya, looks like Ghost is alive. From the preview next week, you see him behind Dany when she has a torch to burn the bodies of the dead.

Nah, he'll just use the show as a base and use that to subvert expectations in the book. Then again, that is implying he actually finishes a book lol

They show 2 dragons in the preview for next week, so looks like it lives And ya, RIP House Mormont

Melisandre also knows things from watching the flames. She could have easily known stuff about Arya, including Syrio's teachings to her.

So Ser Friendzone, Ed, Dany's bloodrider (I forget his name), Melisandre, Lyanna Mormont, Theon, Beric as confirmed dead. Did Gilly die? I couldn't tell if the woman that got dragged away when the crypt zombies came to life was her or not. MIA: Ghost? I mean, we don't see him after the...

Mothra dying isn't new. She always lays eggs and the next Mothra will appear later.

Alternatehistoryhub made a video about this, after the director confirmed the Thanos snap removed 50% of all life (not just sentient). He points out that you now have half your lifestock and half your crops vanishing, creating famine issues. Plus half your trees and algae vanish, which causes...

Cap going back in time 100% creates an alternate timeline. Carter was instrumental in early SHIELD's development as its director. Plus you have all her interactions with Howard Stark. Cap in no way could sit back and just let shit unfold and Carter would insta-divorce him or worse if she...
