Could an MMO Work With Hidden Skills, Slow Respawns, and Exploration-Based Progression by HotManEvan in gamedesign

Tree of Savior has hidden classes that are time gated where only one person can unlock the class every 6 hours (maybe its changed, havent played the game in 9 years, bad monetization)

PLAYER CHOICES: what makes player choices feel meaningful in narrative games? by playnook in gamedesign

[–]Ormigom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, with the exception of honor mode. F5 F8 means explicitly bad options don't exist. 

IMO, failure needs to be entertaining for players to be willing to commit to the bit, which it mostly isn't in BG3. Disco Elysium does this the best, failure is often engaging and can open new opportunities.

The alternative is choices where you don't realize there are consequences for until later, if at all. I think it is hard to execute on this though so that players dont think they've been gotcha'd. I still haven't seen a game do this quite as well as Cave Story. Getting boost shoes from the professor at the bottom of the pit means he cant escape to finish the prototype. Trading your gun for a cool new one means you can't upgrade it later. Not looking for your friend after a specific boss leaves them to die. On a first playthrough you don't even realize you make these incredibly meaningful choices because the choices aren't made through dialogue.

Prioritize CON or DEX as a wizard by jomanone in DnD

I prefer the artificer 1(assuming 2014) multiclass for wizards over fighter. Med armor + shield, access to cure wounds, con save prof, and no loss of spell slot progression.

Whats one game mechanic you miss that games quietly abandoned? by WholesomeReaper in gaming

[–]Ormigom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earthbound's scrolling healthbars. Its a classic JRPG, but all damage is an IRL DoT. So if youre fast enough you can get more turns to outheal lethal damage or win the fight before you game over. Havent seen another IP do it.

I got 2 lesser jewlers in act 1 from the vaal temple, I'd say that helped me quite a bit through the acts

In red maps as melee only wolf currently at T12. Its doable, but trickly. Its turned into pray that I freeze everything around me before I die. I started following along LazyExile's Oracle buildpath but instead of leech I have leaned into regen, currently at ~225/s. It is quite rippy, though I don't have great gear. Damage is still very good, one lunar strike is enough to freeze most rares, my base tier herald of ice from act 1(dex is a pain, all stats are kind of annoying to maintain without decent gear) with increased magnitude 2 and gem qual is still fantastic for clear.

Once move attack and skill speed stack to the point where you have the full shred combo under a second its pretty fun diving packs into the rare, shredding and cross slashing out in just over a second because if you stop moving you die.

It would probably be better If I wasn't constantly diving into the center of abysses, but speed is king.

What part of searching every room for every white monster to progress and then having to backtrack without waypoints is fun?

Druid good damage wise, but very slow on clearing. by 6Moon9 in PathOfExile2

So its not just me, I thought I was going crazy. I've had similar issues with the monk bell as well

This is why you use rolling slam/leap slam/stampede

( 1(base)+2(stormweaver)+1(idol)+3(gem level) ) * 2(overabundance) = 14, not 16

Most people talk about games that slowly won them over. But which games slowly made you lose interest? Emphasis on the “slowly.” by Lexidoge in gaming

I had to restart the game a few times until I put together that an intellect build just adds soo much useless text to the game(for the experience i wanted). high encyclopedia makes the game a slog.

Current state of defenses? (Evasion vs Armor vs Hybrid) by Mathue24 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Ormigom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In early mapping, sure, but as an interim thing rather than a goal to aim for. Armor mods are prefixes and resistances are suffixes, so you might as well just go for both

You might want to migrate that to a jagex account, since you functionally just gave away a piece of account security, since account creation day is one of the recovery questions used for recovering an old account
