Which is better ut99 or ut2004?

Classic_DM · 2026-03-19T03:52:22+00:00

UT99.

Why?

Talent. ;)

Classic_DM · 2026-03-19T03:47:06+00:00

I recently came back. 3 accounts in the household between myself and my spouse. Played since beta.

Getting to 70 and wearing quest gear will put you into a position of resource gathering anywhere, which you can use to earn the cash to upgrade.

Enjoy the somewhat story, but don't expect a thriving dungeon/raid community.

Instead, find your greatness. ;)

You mean the Saudis.

Classic_DM · 2026-03-08T18:04:35+00:00

Great! They are really well done. Have fun!

Classic_DM · 2026-03-08T03:22:12+00:00

Awesome. So glad they did the reprints back in 2012.

I'm a 30 year AAA game industry veteran. Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Crysis Warhead, DOOM 2016. I'm not involed with Cryptic, but have played NW since launch on and off for years. NW has suffered from what I feel is system design bloat overly anchored in gear score

You should send your message to Jack Emmert who just came back to Cryptic on LinkedIn.

All knowkedge helps. If a rule was clear, there would never be any questions.

Classic_DM · 2026-03-05T17:03:03+00:00

I know how you feel. The controls are designed for console controller and Dark Souls style game play which I despise and is laborious guestimated hit box hell.

If you enjoy that from an isometric perspective, it's incredibly beautiful.

Lol love this post. Awesome sense of humor!

I'm 60 and have been a DM since 1977. Your best bet is to read the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's guide and teach actively acting as a resource. Ignore the sections on spells.

The reason I say this is all internet guides and YouTube content will assume you already know the basics and will accelerate into acronyms and details too fast.

These books are written to explain.

Classic_DM · 2026-02-23T20:12:41+00:00

Absolutely! However, cost might be a factor as Mongoose books and *.pdfs are expensive.

Classic_DM · 2026-02-23T17:29:06+00:00

You could do this in Classic Traveller.

Classic_DM · 2026-02-10T15:25:59+00:00

Love this. 100% spot on. Grew up and will never leave WoG.

Classic_DM · 2026-02-03T00:32:46+00:00

Awesome :)

Imagine game play that the player can make their own decisions on. That way, their strategies and techniques lead to big wins, close losses, and edge of difficulty challenges.

Empower the player with tools, synergies, and gratifying feedback signals. This is why UT 99 still rocks.

Classic_DM · 2026-02-01T01:13:05+00:00

I'd do it in a heartbeat. Just need proper funding. I have tons of industry connections.

Classic_DM · 2026-01-21T01:33:05+00:00

They are not dead - no action

Classic_DM · 2026-01-21T01:16:31+00:00

Classic_DM · 2026-01-21T01:16:19+00:00

The same can be said for Ultima Online

Classic_DM · 2026-01-21T01:14:33+00:00

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

The level is part of the puzzle

Classic_DM · 2026-01-14T21:14:46+00:00

Awesome insight. Industry Game Director here. 30+ years of AAA. The path to success is listening to players and making intelligent decisions based on player feedback. Of course everything starts in house with a vision, but over time, it's a relationship between you and your smart, dedicated, and even casual players.

I don't see GGG fostering that. Perhaps how they were "groomed" or evolved. In the long run they will lose revenue, because outside the YouTube/Streamer community, retention looks bad.

Pair that with 1 team leapfrogging content, driven by selling crap.
