    Should crafting resources be the currency we use?

    Not sure what you are arguing demigan. The idea behind a barter vs common currency is that people trade for what they need with what others need. The resources for both end up leaving the system via being consumed by the crafting. This generally is going to result in the rarest resources having...

    Theory Crafting MMO Roles

    Hey beeman instead of dismantling a response into tiny bits so you can throw an argument at each of them how about you actually just respond to it in full? Because the way you do it angers me and each time makes me think you just want everything to be simple, lack any form of depth, and should...

    Theory Crafting MMO Roles

    I defend the system because it has depth in it. It means that there are more knobs to tweak to get a good balance. It means that you can have a wide range of different weapons yet each of those weapons has a purpose, a role, in a players arsenal besides it shoots different. It allows a variety...

    Which Firefall weapons concepts would you like to see carried to Ember?

    Secondary weapons in Firefall had infinite ammo until the infinite ammo was removed at one point because people were attacking incursions from a range where the turrets spread meant that players could attack the incursion without fear of death. This was also before incursions had shields to...

    Which Firefall weapons concepts would you like to see carried to Ember?

    The only weapon that I would want continued would be the 1.3 Thermal Cannon. Due to its sheer flexible nature that let it work with just about any build you could throw on your frame. Hope I could replicate it in Ember.

    Ember in virtual reality

    I would expect lots of motion sickness and reduced awareness. Also, no guarantee we would have the option of piloting mechs.

    Theory Crafting MMO Roles

    That is why you bring an Anti-Armor option, be it a secondary weapon, grenade, ability, or an anti-armor alt-fire. Its called being prepared. If the person is so wholly unprepared then they should deal with a tough fight and have to look for flaws in the targets defense, because no defense...

    Assault rifles

    Star Wars Republic Commando had an Omni Rifle. It was either in Blaster Rifle, Blaster Sniper Rifle, or Anti-Armor Grenade Launcher. The weapon was modular so changing out a few external parts rerouted the power systems to the correct outputs.

    Should crafting resources be the currency we use?

    Even if there were sentient mobs there would be no guarantee they use a currency (assuming they had one) anywhere near what we use. If they did why we would be part of an invasion force in a war between 2 (or more) governments where we would not even be mining for resources but killing/enslaving...

    Lets talk character resets

    Wipes are expected during things like test builds, ongoing incremental betas, and game release approaching playerbase equalization. This is largely because post release the core of the game should be done, and anything after that should not change core systems too heavily. Except for refinement...

    Hype can lead to disappointment if expectations are not met

    If my memory is correct they have a 16 person team at the moment, however a solid chunk of that team is currently part time/when they are available. Most of which not being called upon at the moment because the concept designs and orthographics are not done to actually begin building anything.

    Monetization/Funding Ideas

    That model is used extensively in China. In addition to pay per hour. It drums up the use of internet and gaming cafe's because they get deals where a person can get the same amount of hours for a lower price (and get a drink with some food while they game).

    2D Navel

    In Highschool DxD's case all the girls know Issei's goal: To Become a Harem King. They compete with each other and tempt him. Though everyone also knows who is the Queen of the harem (Rias) and a general order that girls are going to marry him. They also tempt him because both they and him like...

    Suggestion for Omniframe "Class" System: Combing the Tech Tree with Limitless Choice

    And then you look at Legion... They gutted the kits of the classes and tossed large swaths of the skills into the talent system. So it became "pick these talents for single target" "pick these talents for multi target" "pick these talents to deal with this mechanic" but at the time you could...

    Hype can lead to disappointment if expectations are not met

    At its height with Mark in control, Red5 had 130 employees. Immediately after he left its size cut to less than half and then started bleeding employees at a constant regular rate.

    Suggestion for Omniframe "Class" System: Combing the Tech Tree with Limitless Choice

    Perhaps start a thread asking about that. What non combat things should one be able to do in Ember?

    Hype can lead to disappointment if expectations are not met

    My expectations are always set to the lowest settings. What has me hyped is the thought of exploring a bit of the creative process behind developing a game. I have a tendency to migrate from game to game. When I find a game I like I dig into it, learn the mechanics, learn as much as I can...

    I had hoped Ember would be Free to Play...

    There was a way to get around it in warframe. You could trade cores and mods for platinum from other players then use that to buy the slots.

    2D Navel

    The light novels are so much better then the show. The show was faithful to the light novels up till season 3. Season 3 is when it went down the classic anime divergent plotline bullshit with throwing out core character development events, incorporating later villains into the story during a...
