    That's true, but I was mostly referring to games that I've see that were trying to do their own thing; not be a remake.

    Well I agree, but that's irrelevant to whether or not indie devs try to do something new.

    Gear resets are a great idea if you are making a mass-appeal game where your main focus is bringing in new players or old-coming-back players. it's perfect for games like WOW. I dislike the practice myself, but again it's context.

    DDO did this. It lessened the problems because instead of AAs you just "remorted" and started all over again with the same character but more points. Te same problems still persist in that design but not as pronounced.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The one, biggest complaint I have about levels is that it invalidates your content permanently. Once you out level content, it's done. Even when you mentor down in levels, you're just re-doing content for a friend. You personally are not enjoying the content (but you may be enjoying your...

    Kickstarter games are about innovation. Because if they don't do something different or don't bring something new to the table, they will never get funded (unless there are some deep pocketed Brad fans out there). Go look at all the interesting things being made by indies, check out No Man's...

    300M dollar games are probably going to be the games that do the least amount of different things. See Wildstar.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    It's all about context. This game is aiming for a niche crowd so the standard tropes of Aaa MMO design kind of get thrown out the window. When I get on my laptop I'll read and reply to tags giant post.

    As for your list of what levels allows you to do can easily be done in any other number of ways. It's not my fault you have no imagination. Zelda's progression system was accumulation of items and hearts. Zelda didn't have levels. You don't even have to assign gear values for ilevel. What if...

    I'm pretty sure Brad isn't going to jump in and make a game based on old ideas and just put a new skin on things. Giving someone millions of dollars doesn't help you with ideas. Just look at TESO.

    The only modern game that has come out in the last 6 years is GW2. The rest are old tired iterations of the same thing (WOW). You could easily of taken out levels in that game and plot character progression based on map completion in some fashion. GW2 was a step in the right direction in a lot...

    No I didn't. My current favorite dream character class system would either be something like Path of Exile (I love that system). Or something combining LOL/DOTA/RIFT and POE. Essentially your character starts off with a basic "map" of points (smaller POE map). Then you earn via epic quests...

    A lot of customization? I want a decent class system that gives the player interesting choices to make while the character progresses. That doesn't take a lot of monumental resources. Lacking levels only takes some imagination and good game design. Sticking with levels is just boring. It doesn't...

    Instancing: Depends on the game. If the world is big enough to spread people out and you have multiple areas of efficiency, you can do it. If you have popular spots, all you're going to be dealing with is assholes with autohotkey scripting mob targets (assuming tagging mechanic). If you run a...

    I wanted to mess around with Yorick last night in some normals with a few friends. I think there were three of us an the two unknowns called top/mid on me. So I say fuck you Yorick jungle. I fucking carried the game, lol. I don't know how I went 7/2/7 to start the game, but I did. Fucking Yorick.

    The whole class system in this game is pretty lackluster. They combat system is pretty fun, the quest system is pretty great (if you like that kind of gameplay), the world is really well made and good looking. Things are really well written etc. The way classes are designed and the way the...

    Engine demos really don't matter at all because there is no network code being shown in them. It's all done on a single PC. Engines typically don't matter at all, it's what you do with them. I wish them good luck. I look forward to seeing someone do something different.

    It's almost comical how I can't win a single ranked game. Two games where we win lane but when ya get to the group fight everyone starts wandering around. Though it's pretty amazing watching a guy like Nightblue3 (Challenger guy) go from Bronze to Plat 1 in like a week only losing 5 games or...
