    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah im not really getting how decreasing the spawn timers is opening up room inside dungeons thus you dont need instancing/sharding. All it does is it 2x the exp rate and 2x the loot. Even more reason to sit and farm the same fucking dungeon for days. Also its fucking stupid to think that all...

    So please explain to the retard how spawn timers are going to help people get into dungeons and solve the dilemma of not enough content.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    LOL how is spawn timers going to stop poopsockers from camping shit for 12 hours? WTF are you even talking about? All its going to do is increase their loot haul, instead of picking everything up they will be trashing 3/4 of it and keeping the good shit. And other players are still at the...

    I guess you could participate in how ever much you wanted. I had plenty of interactions with people in PUGs when I played TLP.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Interaction is still alive and well in EQ prog servers. The thing that killed any sort of interaction was "dungeon finder" and cross realm dungeon finder in WOW. THATS what killed any sort of interaction.

    Mudflation will always be a problem especially in games that do not use the "no drop" tag for most of the items, which im assuming is what this game does. But there are many ways to control mudflation even without the use of "no drop" tags on items. For one instance is the dreaded durability...

    Or you can make less content and instance/shard it, including the popular over world zones, and everyone is happy. Which is what most of us are saying.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah thats fine when everyone is leveling up. But what happens 6 months in when most of your server pop is now fully maxxed on levels and exp is not an issue anymore? Which is what this game will evolve into eventually, finding items instead of exp. Be it 4 months, 6 months, or even a year it...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You also run into the problem of risk vs reward too. So lets say you design content that is in the over world that can be solo friendly, like the proposed long quest chain, etc. How do you balance that vs the dungeon content in rewards? when the dungeon content will be more risky, involve a...

    And once again, all this shit is what? Oh yeah! Its fucking content that needs to be designed, programmed, tested and implemented.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Different games, sure. Same problem though. even more exacerbated today because people are in the know now. Yeah by adding in more content if you dont use instancing, thus again, down to ading in more content to fix the issue. Were all in the modern world now, so is MnM. People that like mmorog...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The problem is that youre denying the PREMIUM content. And why is this good? So the rest of the 1400 can aspire to one day do it too? that shit is bonkers thinking. I really do not understand why the use of instancing or sharding is such a no-no to you purists. Shit EQ does it today with its...

    Meh if it was so special to basically cater to the poopsockers, why did like 80% of the player base leave when wow hit the shelves? Shit, most of the poopsockers left too. I dont understand this whole ideology of only having no life people have access to the best content in the game. It just...

    Yeah pretty much all the good camps in EQ were always camped. In vanilla Guk was camped to shit. I remember my server having lists. And this continued throughout my play time in EQ. Every expansion had 1-2 premium spots that were always camped 24/7. And during that time me being an adult with a...

    All im saying is if they are making an EQ spiritual successor, yeah raids were not a thing for most people playing EQ. If they do add raids they better instance them, same for the dungeons (shards) or else people are gonna be pissed. Who wants a game that is 100% accessible only for those that...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Meh in reality EQ was always about group type content. And thats what the masses mostly engaged in. Raid content in EQ was contested and therefore only available to a small minority of players. Maybe a few expansions in some second tier guild would be allowed access to the scraps of last year or...

    You got ta think, some of these games coming out this year were made in the last 5-6 yrs. So before the "end of woke" thing happened. Im sure its too much to change some of them, too late. Oh well just another $50-100 million or whatever, wasted. Just adds to the proof that no one wants this...

    Get ready for some piano playing on your keyboard. I mean the combat in BDO was great but it took some time and muscle memory for some of those classes with the different combos and shit.

    I think the biggest thing AI can do in the short term is create compelling content, like open world shit and dungeons thats not the typical generated slop thats out there right now. Even if it creates it and its like 80% how much would it take for a couple of devs to go through it and fix it up...

    They way to look at socialism is that at its core it wants to make everyone equal, equality of outcome. Which is against human nature at its core. No one is equal. some are stronger, some are smarter, some are dumber..etc..etc... And the only way they can achieve this is by force. Why force? Its...

    Doubt it since most jobs in US are non union and all those gains are pretty much law of the land now. Like 40 hr work week, OT after 40 hrs, holiday pay. No more children running machines, lol. In fact unions are terrible for the simple fact they promote people not based on meritocracy but...

    Pretty much. Someone that was definitely and obviously not in the position to make the shit happen. Wasted tons of money and 10 yrs of peoples labor to make something that is like 25% done, lol.

    Unions served their purpose at the dawn of the industrial revolution. They gave us the 40 hr work week, they took kids out of the workforce, they gave workers rights that are now pretty much enshrined in every business that hires workers. Now in current time frame they are a detriment to any...

    That just looks like texture from paint roller to me. Honestly thats like 30 min job at most. and anyone can do it. You can texture the paint to match with a bigger pile roller after. Just paint the whole ceiling after texturing the spot a few times with paint before. I would def NOT be hiring...

    LOL a year? shit we go through one of those costco packs in like 5-6 months. Although if you have a lot of women in the house that might be cut down to 2-3 monts ea. Because woman use a shit ton of toilet paper. Yeah, but that stack would last us at least 2+ yrs.

    If fixing this, I would score the spot with some tool, scratch the paper/paint off the spot with a screwdriver or something in some random pattern. Also remove the loose pieces that are not adhered to the ceiling around it. So the same shit does not happen in the future. Think of this as...
