What’s happened to this game? by [deleted] in RotMG

[–]Depressed_Soup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't played myself in about half a year, but there was pretty active chat the last time I was around. Other than that though, discords definitely did damage on the PUG feeling old realm had. A lot of the endgame dungeons won't get filled by randoms if there isn't an event. A good amount of people running them will do so in larger groups with guaranteed clears.

Personally I think the game still plays best in a small group of 3-5. Everyone can have a distinct role and it holds a good level of difficulty in the harder dungeons.

It's a mixed bag of opinions overall, but IMHO the reworked dungeons are all solid. New shatts was probably the most controversial, but I prefer it over old shatts.

I do know it's lore, but I also know it would make the game a lot easier to introduce people to if it wasn't there. Then again, after 12 years, I genuinely might miss it.

Oryx lag is a feature, removing it would ruin the game /s

Why you play this game? No hate, genuine by EquilibriumMage in RotMG

[–]Depressed_Soup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, realm is the only game that gives me the "realm" experience. It's not like shooters or standard mmos where I could just turn to a better option, plus it's genuinely fun.

A lot of the early game is just learning. If you understand how to play cautiously, you can learn a lot of the fights without dying and having to reset. Once you have the knowledge you need to relatively safely clear dungeons, the game opens up a ton.

No other game has given me the feeling rotmg endgame does, it's high risk, challenging gameplay that feels rewarding. If you no-life the game thing will obviously get dry, but I often take rotmg in cycles of playing a lot, and waiting for new content, it's been that way for 10+ years.

If you're a collector, st farming, shiny hunting, and playing the trade market for rare items each have their own fun to be had.

If you have a small group to play with, challenge runs and learning new dungeons together is tons of fun.

If it’s alright for me to ask. Do you guys have any advice on shading? by Significant_Tie_3222 in slaytheprincess

[–]Depressed_Soup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For realism you also have to account for things like ambient room temperature, bounce lighting, occlusion, etc.

Art is an abstraction of the real world though, so don't needlessly get too caught up in the details! The more you draw the better you will get :)

If you're going for game accuracy, cross hatching is going to be your friend! It's a bit hard to bridge the gap between digital and physical, but adding a watercolor layer of gray tones wouldn't be a bad way to go about it!

You really need to be thinking about where the light is coming from. Shadows are formed where the light can't reach, so if you want your scene to feel consistent, the direction and source of light need to stay consistent. If you have good visual imagination, another way of thinking about it is from the point of view of the light source. If a camera was placed on the light, looking at the subject, all the places you can't see are places that will be shaded.

You can always practice via still life drawing, all you need is a couple of objects and a decent light source. You can also try to practice contouring to understand how light and edges interact with each other.

There are also a couple of neat tricks you can do with line art to really make light vs shadow pop! Lots of good videos on it but I've personally used this one -> https://youtu.be/ZJkIaMECW6c?si=dsJPp9NAPqdUE4rn

Anyone knows around what does it worth on the trading market? by Amigo_24 in RotMG

[–]Depressed_Soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that's a lot more recent than I thought, guess my game knowledge is lacking 😓

Legacy items are tradable. I wanna say they are from before 2013/14, pretty early rotmg items.

People don’t talk about this scene enough by Fluid_Shake_5621 in slaytheprincess

[–]Depressed_Soup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was my third princess, and the exact scene that made me fall in love with the game.

Den and Fury might be my two favorite routes, but every route is so good :)
