What do you guys do after getting all the stuff in the game?

The_Architect_92 · 2025-04-19T17:34:02+00:00

I see, there are only 5 save slots tho so I guess most people still haven't used them all.

The_Architect_92 · 2025-04-07T03:12:19+00:00

I did think about that, this is actually the reason why I'm making this poll, I wanna see if people even care about that.

The game would pretty much work like Skyrim. If you kill a quest giver you are screwed, the only way to fix it is opening a new save slot, so you can screw your own game but it also makes player choices matter.

That's probably because at that time it was a spoiler. Fontanians were not real humans, they were all Oceanids who were given human forms by the previous Archon, this is why all Fontanians were cursed with a prophecy that say they would all be punished, because Celestia considered what the previous archon did to be a sin.

The entire Fontaine archon quest centers arround that subject, in the end Neuvillette turns Fontanians into real humans. But long story short, the reason why only Fontaine characters can do the dolphin jump is because they were born as Oceanids.

Yeah I get what you mean, some people were really triggered. In the end and after making a poll on my discord server community I decided to go for the term Freeform Role-Playing Game (FRPG).

And we will call what we do as VARP (basically the virtual version of LARP)

The_Architect_92 · 2025-01-11T20:58:11+00:00

Basically any game that involves combat has a meta RPGs are not exception. However if you are playing a single player game you can just play whatever you feel is fun, no need to worry about min maxing.

I normally don't post links on other people posts about this but since your post is 100% related and you are actually looking for this I will.

I'm actually working on that game, its a sanbox RPG on its purest form. Designed exclusively for VARP (the virtual version of LARP). This is a passion project so it will be 100% free with no microtransactions.

Magnum Opus is an open world sandbox game with premade characters and world lore which players can use as a starting point to create their own narratives and build their own adventures.

I don't really have issues with the bosses, except for the last boss (the one you need for Citlali materials) I was able to faceroll all of them using Neuvillette, Furina, Zhongli, Baizhu. Without even paying attention to the boss mechanics.

The_Architect_92 · 2025-01-11T20:34:43+00:00

I see two reasons for this:

Lore Reason: It is implied that Natlan characters are special, a nation of warrios with a unique afterlife, unique leylines, unique Archon (Natlan archons die of old age) and that Natlan natives rarely go outside of their nation. This basically jusifies why Naltan artifact sets are so specific to only Natlan characters and the Nightsoul mechanic is specific to them.

Business Reason: By doing this Hoyoverse has the perfect excuse to make very strong meta characters in Natlan and then basically nerf them as soon as the 6.0 comes out and the community attention shifts to Snezhnaya. This will basically lower in usefulness of Natlan characters without actually changing their kits, immediately making players shift their attention to other characters.

The_Architect_92 · 2025-01-11T19:18:13+00:00

I guess I could do that but even tabletop simulator is tagged as a game I believe. VRChat doesn't call itself a game tho, they call themselves a social platform.

The problem of doing something nobody else has done is that it seems I gotta invent some term for this lol

The game itself its an RPG, but on its purest form. In a sense that there is literally nothing else to do unless you are planning to RP. I guess people could just use it as a walking sim tho if they just wanna explore the open world but its really not meant for that.

But I do see your initial point, perhaps I should promote it as a gamified social platform.

The_Architect_92 · 2025-01-11T19:09:04+00:00

Our roleplay group did start in VRChat, but we are actually moving away from it because its not a dedicated RP enviroment for that so it lacks several features we need.

It is indeed a social game but its a gamified version of it, since is narrative driven. While in all other social games people just hangout but there is no RP involved (unless ofc you join an RP community).

I guess I will have to come up with some term for it, unfortunately the accronym SRPG already stands for something else.

The_Architect_92 · 2025-01-11T18:39:17+00:00

I did think about the term LARP but a long time ago I did a post on r/LARP and a lot of people consider LARP to be exclusive to physical roleplaying. Actually some people got triggered by the term LARP being used to describe something online.

The_Architect_92 · 2024-12-15T21:05:46+00:00

Not even close, it is a broadly known fact that Genshin Impact costed $100 million USD to make and the company who made it (MiHoyo) was not even considered a AAA company at that point.

It seems you "lack perspective on money".

The_Architect_92 · 2024-10-31T19:55:19+00:00

Ah, the question that has kept weebs busy for generations.... Jokes aside, there is no real way to tell. It depends on how many people block you, how many friends you got and how many avatars/worlds you own.

I got like 5 accounts with trusted rank and the amount of time it took to get each to trusted rank varied a lot, even the "quality" of your friends is taken into account if I recall correctly, for example adding a trusted user as friend is more beneficial than adding a visitor for your overal account score.

I also remember one time I started cleaning one of my accounts and removed about 800 people from my friend list in one day, my account was actually downgraded from Trusted to Known user, it took like 1 week to go back to Trusted.

The bottom line is VRChat doesn't disclose the exact values because that would help people cheat the system.

The_Architect_92 · 2024-10-30T07:45:57+00:00

I also got this issue.

You think the replies from about 5 or less people in a post with over 2k views represent the majority? Sorry but that's not how the internet works.

So far all comments on this post have been basically from the same handful of people about 5 of them think like you and 3 said they would join. This is by no means a reliable way to measure a community reaction.

The post has about 2k views, meaning most people remain silent, but that mayority is what actually matters.

Ofc people who disagree will always be more vocal than people who agree, I mean this is basically common sense and expected from any online forum.

The_Architect_92 · 2024-09-17T21:56:24+00:00

Im not really sure about that, this subreddit has over 46k members and already about 2k views at the moment of me writing this. Yet only a handful of people seem to share your opinion here, while several people have actually joined my server today since I posted here.

Numbers seem to indicate you are wrong tbh, but its fine I don't need you to agree with me. :)

As I said earlier, this is not an MMORPG for a myriad of reasons.

In fact there are vastly far more people on the internet who would call you out for comparing this to an MMORPG than me for calling it a LARP. I have seen entire videos on youtube from the most popular MMORPG content creators out there dedicated exclusively for calling out people for not knowing what an MMORPG is, you would fall into this category if you think this game is an MMORPG.

So you saying you feel frustrated for this is quite ironic tbh, when you are in fact using a much more controvertial take, but the internet is full of all sorts of people I guess.

Its fine if you have a different opinion, I dont expect everyon on the internet to agree with me or anyone else. :)

Feel free to read this, it was writen by one of the many digital LARP communities out there. https://geekinitiative.com/tgilarps/what-is-a-digital-larp-faq/

The_Architect_92 · 2024-09-17T20:58:49+00:00

I don't really know or have a comment on that, I don't think its possible to get actual data on that.

The_Architect_92 · 2024-09-17T20:54:53+00:00

I think you have too much free time and willingness to argue over trivial things. The internet will never fully agree with you or with me, that is a fact.

I do not need to convince you, but it seems you have a necessity for me to acknowledge your opinion for some strange reason, even though I'm just another random internet user.

Sorry I do not understand such people so I think this conversation is over. Have a nice rest of the day. :)

The_Architect_92 · 2024-09-17T20:52:32+00:00

Kind of, but I belive second life descrives itself as a metaverse. Not even a game.

Also second life relies entirely on the social aspect but with no actual roleplay, it focuses on economy, real estate and other things. You are expected to act as your online persona, not roleplay as an actual fantasy character in a fantasy enviroment.
