The age of MMOs are over. All they seem to be are huge grinders with no skill needed to play. Bring back the action RPGs. Then we talk.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:36:57 UTC from web-
@dragonnamedred Amen to that. But that won't happen on a near future. The "gaming" public right now has no skill, and wants those kind of things to play.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:38:56 UTC from web -
@dragonnamedred Not really. It's definatly worse but, I'm mainly anti-grind and an avid online game player and I can safely say there's a few decent non-grindy games.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:38:56 UTC from web-
@minti Lineage 2 and MU were good grinding games. Lineage could make you drop the game with the late levels experience tables, on a x300 server, a level 81 mob when you were 79 raised ~0.01% of your experience bar.

@nerthos i remember this in my ragnarok time
Friday, 04-May-12 00:41:54 UTC from web -
@nerthos Haha I remember days like that. I use to play grindy games where I'd spend weeks straight killing stuff to get from level 40 to 41. x_x Blah. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 00:43:08 UTC from web-
@minti I liked MU, because there was no balance. All modern MMOs are balanced so one player can't be more powerful than the rest, and that's why I stopped playing. I wtill have a custom WoW 3.35 server where you can actaully become OP, though.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:45:06 UTC from web-
@nerthos Most modern games are balanced so that classes are equal, the crap about players not being OP is bullcrap once you hit end game status. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 00:49:42 UTC from web-
@minti ever played RFonline? THAT is balance
Friday, 04-May-12 00:50:41 UTC from web-
@mushi Wow that game looks pay-to-win D:
Friday, 04-May-12 00:53:07 UTC from web-
@minti never played WoW, but on RF you dont level up your statuses, you get them by using attacking, deffending and stuff. Anyone can max all the statuses. And you can also change your job as many times as you want
Friday, 04-May-12 00:55:29 UTC from web-
@mushi The one game I use to like was like that. There was no level cap either so, yeah. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 00:56:23 UTC from web-
@minti that is a cool concept, but it makes every one be the same thing
Friday, 04-May-12 00:59:56 UTC from web-
@mushi No classes, wide varaity of skills that can be chained into other skills, no level cap, action-based battle system (rather than taking turns hitting eachother). The only problem was that the game was really newbie unfriendly, you had to get to about level 500 before people took you seriously. And it took several billion gold and like 4,000 levels to unlock all skills available in the game. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 01:01:43 UTC from web-
@minti Oh and the game is filled with hackers (I use to be one xD) and the people hosting it suck and only care about taking your money.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:02:54 UTC from web-
@minti You made me remember Gunz.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:06:01 UTC from web-
@nerthos The duel ?

@nerthos ... And then there's GunZ. XD I R TEH PROEST AT KSTYLE I WILL TBF U 2 DETH LUL
Friday, 04-May-12 01:07:01 UTC from web-
@minti Hehe, best thing is that most of the ones who say that suck.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:08:56 UTC from web-
@nerthos It's funny cause, I actually could TBF. xD TOOK FOREVER TO LEARN.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:09:50 UTC from web-
@minti It's been so long my fingers probably an't do that stuff anymore.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:11:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Lol same. This was forever ago. xD Back before when monk-style was all the rage.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:12:43 UTC from web-
@minti I want to play multiplayer games again but there's no good players now T.T the internet is full of idiots.

@minti rf's max level was 45 when i played. I dont like to make all the chars the same thing. My favorite thing on ragnarök was the lot of classes the games has, but them the official server became a bot nest
Friday, 04-May-12 01:03:43 UTC from web-
@mushi I'm trying to say that every character is different in their own way, each person has their own way of fighting and such. xD Like, the skills are split into 5 different "classes" but you're not restricted to only one class so you could combine them into epic combos and stuff. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 01:04:38 UTC from web-
@minti just dumping this because you mad me think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItxeFoAM8a0

@minti that is what is cool, raganrok has 15 final classes withi dozens of intermediary one, each one with several different buildings. And making the job changing test is rewarding

@minti Even at end game, you can't face an army of players now. In MU you could fight 100 other players if you managed to get enough power. And in Lineage 2, with PK grinding, raid boss equip, etc; you could just stand casting stuff and watching the entire server fall before you. In wow it's possible at mid levels, at level 45-53 I coud enter a flag room in BG and kill six players alone, but once you reach the late levels, that doesn't happen.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:53:51 UTC from web-
@nerthos Lol in some of the games I played there was ways to stack your equipment and skill buffs so you were basically untouchable in PVP and PVE. I love doing that. xD
Friday, 04-May-12 00:54:57 UTC from web-
@minti Yup. Lineage 2 style. It's the whole fun of an online game.

@minti I used to play FFXI, man that was one grindy game. The amusing thing was that when it was first released a major selling point was that it *wasn't* grindy compared to its only competition Everquest. This quickly changed after WoW hit.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:46:54 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel WoW was good at first, you could spend a mnth trying to get one tier piece, then WotLK came, and it killed the genre T.T

@nibz 90% of the players right now can't finish Ahn'Quiraj at level 80.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:51:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yes, I played until Cataclysm was released. Quit there. Knew that it would ruin the game. And I remember Ahn'Quiraj. My guild beat it day it came out on Vanilla. When WoTLK came out most of my guildmates left. :c
Friday, 04-May-12 00:53:31 UTC from web-
@nibz >Day it came out on vanilla. That's BS, on vanilla you needed to do a server wide quest to open the gates, and it wasn't possible to beat the raid with the equipment released at that time. The raid was finished after the next patch, by overgeared players.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:55:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Figure of speech. I forgot about the quest, I meant that we were about the 2nd or 3rd people to beat it earliest as possible. I haven't played the game in a while, so I don't remember much about the raids and what not.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:58:26 UTC from web-
@nibz The quest was so awesome. One of the scepter pieces was so fun to obtain. The blue dragon quest, with the 500 pound chicken...

@nibz If you have a 3.35 client, I have a server on my computer xD
Friday, 04-May-12 00:56:57 UTC from web-
@nerthos Naw, I got a new computer recently and I don't feel like downloading a client again.
Friday, 04-May-12 00:59:25 UTC from web-
@nibz You don't copy the stuff from your old disks when you change computers? I am disappoint.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:01:59 UTC from web-
@nerthos I do, just games that I want and I will play. WoW bored me after years of playing it. I'm looking forward to Gw2.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:03:50 UTC from web-
@nibz Wow is fun to play as an admin.

@conventrix average gamer bro

@conventrix I hate anyone who thinks it is easy to shoot anyone... Even with pepperspray... and this is hard for me to say because I hate the word "hate"

@conventrix ew, realism
Friday, 04-May-12 01:13:29 UTC from web -
@conventrix to be honest I dont like COD much at all, I know that the war portraid there is far diffrent then what you relly do over seas
Friday, 04-May-12 01:13:29 UTC from web -
@conventrix Which I thought was the reason we have video games in the first place, to get away from how boring real life is!
Friday, 04-May-12 01:15:47 UTC from web -
@conventrix I think the Onion did a review of that. The campaign was 10000 hours of standing in a desert, with a bonus mission of fixing Humvees.

@mushi I'm farsighted. Best GPU in the world doesn't mean a thing without glasses (which I forget a lot).
Friday, 04-May-12 01:20:07 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves anyway, they are thinking of closing the sever late in this year
Friday, 04-May-12 01:22:09 UTC from web -
@eaglehooves I heared that when they come with multi-complex ( no glasses required ) 3D monitor's TV's it is a possibility to make pre-adjustments so you wont need your glasses anymore... not sure if that is true
Friday, 04-May-12 01:22:10 UTC from web-

@mushi Hell yeah, it is. At least, until you level up the "Bearded weirdo in the woods" skills suite.
Friday, 04-May-12 01:19:06 UTC from web-

Friday, 04-May-12 01:19:55 UTC from web-

Friday, 04-May-12 01:23:13 UTC from web-
@mushi Yes. Cabal is the creator, so in RDN he precedes any god.

Friday, 04-May-12 01:18:40 UTC from web -
@conventrix Wow, you actually said meters ? I thought the US military only thought yard's and football fields *shrug*... But yea, when standing anything over 400 metres becomes a NIGHTMARE... Almost compareable to threading a needle with 1 eye closed IMHO... so frustrating and it takes too darn long... going prone only helps, it removes your feet as part of the aiming equasion... .... but the most important thing here... FORGET ABOUT FULL AUTO

@conventrix >Implying "camping" isn't the way to gunfight.

@conventrix haha "camping" more like strategy
Friday, 04-May-12 01:21:31 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 the idea of camping only exists in video games. in said vidya gaemz balance only occurs when everyone is sticking their neck out inviting stray fire into their skulls. Finding strategic points in which you are safe in and can safely strike from without blowing your cover kills game balance, but it's how battles are won. By not dying for your side but making the other poor sob die for his

Friday, 04-May-12 01:29:15 UTC from web -
@conventrix When it has burst modus * whips out leatherman PST2 * it can have full auto... but doing such a thing on a gun you need to turn in at the end of your tour is like pinning a note to your jacket reading "I took a dump in the seargent's shoes" ... and you might be better off with the note example even

Friday, 04-May-12 01:50:05 UTC from web -
@conventrix Yeap... Which is sort of how I am allowed to even HAVE all the gun parts needed to construct ( or... reconstruct ) a FN P90... All the possible restrictable parts in the locker at the PD ( technically as "parts" or "replacement parts" for a P226 ... Yay loopholes... also dumb bureaucrats *shrug* ... "I dunno, teaching gun-control agencies about guns might be a waste of money" ... >_<
