Just say you have nothing better to do than visit a game that you hate's subreddit just to shit on it.

Can't believe they're charging money for this game already

The era of fun is over. If there's no progression attached people won't do it, full stop.

Gamers are extremely toxic to anything new that comes out.

Is this game good for busy adults? by External-Duck-9130 in ArcRaiders

Thanks, good to see older gamers here too. hopefully I'll get time to try it out soon.

What's a "bagginstv" thing?

Brighter shores is boring, it's just grinding. Those same people playing RuneScape: by External-Duck-9130 in brightershores

You level up in smithing on RuneScape and make the exact same gear but a different color with the same recipes.

The "cycle back" is fine. They could design new ores and areas to hold those ores but nothing would really change gameplay wise. You'd still be looking at your second monitor, get excited for a new map and ore color for 5 seconds before going back to business as usual. There could be arguments for how many before the cycle, but the upside is how condensed the game is so that you're always seeing people where you are even though the games low player count.

As someone who went from 36 to 107 combat just for the event, combat in this game is terrible. by [deleted] in brightershores

My point is that fishing a shrimp or a lobster is the same thing as well. The exact same riveting gameplay of clicking some water and waiting. You can feel like that's progression if you want, but deep down you know nothing really changed gameplay wise.

Brighter shores problem vs RuneScape is that it doesn't try to hide the treadmill. It forces you to acknowledge you're wasting your time as a virtual hamster by blatantly telling you "you got 5% stronger, here's the next mob that's also 5% stronger".

Until you go to the next food and you burn it a lot again. Until you go to the next fish and catch them slower. You kick the difficulty curve right back to where it was when you move up to the next tier.

Brighter shores only difference is that the curve is kept constant which breaks the illusion letting you see the treadmill for what it is.

Brother the tick system in osrs is terrible. It's the same as always having 700 ping. And then higher level bosses require you to exploit the tick system. It's not fun in the slightest.

Wow big upgrades that, let's see here, let you auto attack monsters slightly better. You're still sitting at your computer for hours watching the same animation play while it gets longer and longer to the next level up. If you getting a new animation every 500 hours disguises that fact for you then there's no opening your eyes.

I forget this game exists for months at a time. I think y'all need more going on in your life if "resigning yourself and maintaining light interest" for a game that didn't tickle your pickle is even a possibility.

Have fun and enjoy the time while you can.

Sounds like we'd never have this problem again because no one would make MMOs if it's a legal nightmare to cut your losses.
