If eq was any slower paced , it'd be a crossword puzzle

People need to get clear in this thread.

The camping and level grind is one aspect of this beast.

Raiding is another. And that is the goal, and the problem.

Two different parts of the game. This clip shows what raiding has come down to in current games. I was doing eq2 until this stupid boss with a light up floor and you had to step on certain colors and I realized: this is only going to get worse. I am likely not dead from a heart attack because of that wise choice. So the baby mode p99 and tlp's fill the void(monster).

That's why everyone is scratching their head about how to make a true sandbox. Because online gaming today, if you like to be competitive, is a room full of people shaving a few months off their life from sheer stress levels. Unless these are all zen masters too.

I used to joke and call raiding in WoW “dance dance revolution”

Stand here, now stand there, now hop on one foot…

If it was DDR where u and ur partners had to stand on an actual dance pad to beat the bosses it would be good for u

its just sheer autism and psychosis

skinner box google it

The guys selling these games are idiots tho because their skinner box pscyhology degree game mechs are actually killing their genre

(world building and exploration... exposition thru discovering new npcs and areas with lore driblets everywhere)

that isn't something the devs are good at anymore tho, Ion is a #s guy he's not very touchy feely or deep. He got into compci cuz binary is easier to understand for him then Jesus

The best MMO will be some kind of sneaky way of bringing you to Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior through some kind of epic adventure where you and your character are redeemed through suffering and compassion. Understanding, and glory to the commandments and G-d and his creation.

Then you will not need an MMO anymroe because you will be in his loving embrace!

That would definitely be interesting watching the in-game sweaties get IRL sweaty and ultimately be unable to raid due to not being able to physically keep up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Was pretty fun using the PS2 DDR mat to play games that were totally not meant to be played with it.

You know what I'm talking about.

The thrill of that ... I'm sorry. Not deep for me.

Hard to imagine what kind of competitive online game could exist today, that doesn't turn into dance dance revolution. People who talk about "skill" are kind of misled imo.

EQ was an alternate world for a while that included an excellent competitive end game. A hell of a lot of the skill pertained to being able to do this and not destroy your life, tbh. Many were lost along the way. I step over their bodies with no regrets.

See, that's not skill. That's being a bit off.

Being an insomniac never felt so good as it did in 1999.
