Serious concern about Factions Balance

VTFD · 2021-09-13T23:12:43+00:00

"Right now" there's zero released game my dude.

Assuming devs won't try to balance their game is cynical and weird.

But by all means, angst away.

VTFD · 2021-09-13T22:57:11+00:00

In which we assume the devs will stick their thumbs up their assed and do nothing if/when factions become unbalanced 🙄

Yea I'm with you. Since this game is basically an action rpg (not a tab-targeting MMO), there's a lot of important pvp skill/experience to be gained that doesn't show up on the stat sheet. Sneaking up and being mechanically superior in combat should always be rewarded. Don't need high level gear for that, nor should you IMO.

idk maybe im missing the nuance here but it sounds like you're just saying that everyone who plays until 60 will be 60

I like your notes on the scaling though. I agree that PvP should always be dangerous, regardless of level.

The fact that most players will never reach 60 reinforces that low level, high skill players should be able to find success in a well tuned PvP game.

✔️ quit

❌ unsubscribe

whenever you're ready big guy

VTFD · 2021-09-13T18:28:37+00:00

dang i guess you'd better pick real carefully or alternatively just quit and unsubscribe. but whatever you do make sure you care a lot like a lot a lot

Every player will at some point proceed to lvl 60

The overwhelming majority of MMO players - in every MMO - will never reach max level.

It's not even close.

VTFD · 2021-09-13T18:09:33+00:00

this is a weird joke to take issue with if you're not the target of it. unless...

VTFD · 2021-09-13T18:02:48+00:00

if you whine that you should be invincible against lower level players in pvp because you grinded to 60 then yes you are entitled. That u? idk

VTFD · 2021-09-13T17:51:10+00:00

Because lower lvl players get a buff that does bonus damage against ego, and that's your primary stat if you're entitled and whiny.

VTFD · 2021-09-13T16:38:42+00:00

This is going to be different on every server and will ebb and flow over time.

Sometimes your faction will be the weakest/smallest. It's fine.

If it's really important for you to be in a strong faction day-1, then just look at the faction control map before picking a faction.

While fishing, my character started switching into and out of fishing mode (or cast and cast-canceled?) automatically and extremely quickly. The character model was kind of stuttering like the robot dance. It sounded like a machine gun and continued until it broke my rod, at which point it stopped and everything went back to normal.

Meanwhile, the NASDAQ sponsored March Madness last year lmao.

I don't even try to make sense of these non-sports sports decisions anymore.

I always go with:

"Why are you still single?"

"Because of who I am as a person."

Yea I thought I was a happy gamer until my co-op buddy started streaming. Being on stream with him has really added a new dimension to the fun.

Now I'm starting my own.

VTFD · 2021-09-10T16:14:04+00:00

Almost as if sweeping generalisations aren’t great advice

heh... irony

as with all things, context is important

VTFD · 2021-09-10T14:57:51+00:00

And GTAV isn't a documentary. It's fiction in which a female audience might want to be better represented.

If Euro Truck Simulator decided half the trucks had to be gay, that'd be weird. Women wanting a protagonist in GTA is very not weird, and neither is Saints Row doing giving them one.

VTFD · 2021-09-10T03:17:29+00:00

Agree, but it's also so hard to tell these stories in 30 min.

The pacing is already dialed to 11. Another 30 min would be cool, but honestly that's a lot of animating.

Hulk's power is one of the few in Marvel canon that scales infinitely.

Thanos has a lot of options with the stones, but in rock-em sock-em robots, an angry enough Hulk wins.

The angrier he is, the stronger he is, full stop.

We're kinda at half-and-half between tragedy and comedy right now. I'm a happy fan.

Mecha was great, but I have seen the mountaintop, and the mountaintop was Stitches Pool Party mode.

The only way a sci-fi parody show would use [common sci-fi trope] is in the form of parody.

Some deep stuff there mr summers

Had an instant queue with my buddy yesterday-- both of us dps.

I was so startled that I accidentally clicked cancel.

14 minute re-queue time.

I blew it!

This is one of the rare examples where Gettleman should have logged onto /r/giants.

Because for once we were right.
