I think he's just being a realist. Almost everyone here drooling over CRs and how hard it used to be expecting that in EQn are sorely going to be disappointed.
There's a particularly distressing disconnect here - what older EQ veterans would like to see, and what will actually be in the game. I would personally love to see a penalty associated with death akin to the kind we saw in early EQ, but as it stands, we can't even reasonably pretend to know whether or not it'll be that way. And if the last six years of MMO's are any indication, our little nostalgia parade is woefully unlikely.I think people can expect something less casual than say rifts death penalty. I actually do expect a CR to some extent. I doubt it will be like EQ1 but death will be felt.
you're denseIts a deluded thought to believe a harsh death penalty will make you enjoy a game, more.
Not really. Some people like to suffer actual consequences when they fuck up; it makes ultimate success all the more satisfying, therefore increasing enjoyment of the game for those who are patient/skilled enough to succeed. It's not even conjecture - see: Demon's Souls, Dark Souls.Its a deluded thought to believe a harsh death penalty will make you enjoy a game, more.
And can't read...you're dense
Which is the truth. EQ:N will come out and the Death Penalty will not be anywhere close to what EQ 1 had. The genre has changed. For the better or worse is of personal opinion.And if the last six years of MMO's are any indication, our little nostalgia parade is woefully unlikely.
Oh, Ive read why having a fear of death makes the game better. I just dont follow it, and apparently, game developers dont either. Think back for a second about how fun it was in EQ for a Warrior that just wiped on a raid target.you're dense
Because it wouldn't suit his obtuse argument, that's why.Wait?! What??
Why can't the warrior just be rezzed again?
because the game is much more fun if instead of dying you're just invincible and nothing can kill you or even hurt you and you can reach max level in under an hour and you don't even have to move because the dungeon will just come to you and all the loot you could ever want will drop on the very first mob that you kill with absolutely no chance of failing. wouldn't that be a fun game for you, daidraco? fucking retards...Wait?! What??
Why can't the warrior just be rezzed again?
i agree. i don't have near the time that i had over 10 years ago, but i really don't believe a game made today should cater to me (or anyone in my demographic). i'd love to play a game that was slower paced, that took longer to level and to experience and had harsh death penalties and open dungeons and all the other stuff the original EQ had. no, i wouldn't be able to play it 10 hours a day anymore, but i sure as shit would enjoy the free time i did have to play it a lot more than any game that is currently available. smed said that he scrapped the first two versions of EQN because of how similar it was to WoW, so i'm hoping that means a return to their EQ roots, but i doubt it. what we'll probably get is a game that smed "thinks" is unique and fresh but is just a regurgitation of 3 or 4 other MMO's, none of them which is EQ.I'm still thinking about that retard scenario lol..
I won't scream if EQN doesn't live up to my expectations. Ill prob just not play it. And continue to not play games because there isn't anything out there for me. I'm the opposite of what a lot of the casual gamers pretend to be. I actually am busy and have a shit load going on. Fun stuff of course..
I don't play 3 games at a time for 2-3 hours a day and gain all kinds of achievements in game to pretend like I accomplished something. That's actually not fun for me. I don't need that instant gratification. I'm perfectly happy with a slower paced game that requires a bit more attention to detail.
Better than coming off like a dick like your prior post?^ That post didn't come out sounding snobbish or condescending at all! .
