The thread is called AutoPlay Button, a hypothetical button that does 95% of everything. Because we play games for only 5% of its value? He said people who are busy should play a feign death class because its like a pause button. Really? Really? | |||

Same as I. I understand this concept perfectly. I have a good friend, who, when he played EQ back in 2001-2004 was an amazing enchanter. Top Raid guilds fought over to get him to join them. Yet, he stopped playing eq and went back to Diablo-2/Balder's Gates. I asked him why. His answer was "No Pause button" | |||

I like most of the changes from Star Lords to Master of Orion, but not every last one. MOST. I don't think that every change in the past 20 years to games has been good. Games are a lot more like art than a machine. Or, they're more like a trend in what clothes we wear than they're like solving for a mathematical equation. The truth is, there's a technical and an intangible side to games. You can improve on the technical side, but the intangible side will always be in the eye of the beholder. In brief: a game can please a lot of people, but it can't please em all. There's no final solution. If I've led anyone here into believing that the things I post here are a final solution, I am sorry. These are my opinions. A few people might agree. Others don't. I am just a player, like you. I like to write these things down.

stormlord,
I agree with most of you say, just wanted to say, useful abilities with a decently long re-use time are good, when the reuse time is manageable. Think - Lay Hands - yes, great ability that can nearly full heal you, but useable once in 2 hours??? I played paladin before, and I ended up NEVER using it cause I kept saving it for that one special moment when it will be truly helpful... while I kept getting killed over and over cause I kept forgetting I even hay LH, cause I always keep telling myself - "no don't use it! save it for emergency!" And when emergency comes, I totally forget that I actually have this ability, cause I never use it As a person who just recently played WoW, I am also not a fan of a button-mash-fest. yes I like pro-active ability use combat, but not to the point where MMO becomes Diablo 1 where you had to keep clicking the mouse to keep shooting To me, is true balance in somewhere in the middle between the 2. Lay hands would have better if would heal for decent enough amount, but be re-use able once in say 15 min, rather than 2 hours. Some goes for rangers Weaponshield disc - yes uber, but when? Once in 2 hours for 30 seconds? I would prefer if it would only half as good, but actually useable every 10-15 min instead. So not just when go a raid once a day, but more close to casual groping WoW/EQ2, on other hand could have benefited in its encounter were a bit longer, where your good spells have a cool down of say 2-3 min, rather than 15-20 sec, so you can only use your good spells once per fight, rather than BOOM-boom-BOOM-boom-BOOM-combat over (where BOOM is your good nuke and boom is the spam nuke) EQ2 system, while also a bit too fast paced, little bit better, where you WANT to use different spells in order to complete your "combo circle" Disclaimer: i am only talking about how combat system works, how easy or how hard the game is not a subject of discussion here. But as stormlord pointed out, I agree that problem with EQ is not that its "too hard", but rather than "it has to few choices to pick from to beat it" On the topic of "talking while in group". When I played a bard, the first and ONLY thing I ever told my group was "DO NOT TALK TO ME!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
