We have no particular day in mind, if you have a preferred day in mind, let us know.

Greetings Reapers, I've got some good news. Grummz, the main man himself, would like to schedule a time for when he will be on Discord. We are calling it, Chief Chat. It's going to be an hour long conversation, where he discusses his thoughts on a specific part of Em-8ER. For this very first...

Oh yes definitely! It's one of those things that has to "fit in" with the rest of the game, or be fully optional, but definitely.

Yes of course. Exactly like I said, supplemental vs forefront. Knowing when, what, where and how to place the peaks and valleys is important. And it's based largely on the audience you are trying to please. That's what pacing deals with. Also, putting effort into doing some set of features you...

Keep in mind when we talk about "most commonly", there will always be those who fall outside of that. Myself for example. I don't need progression systems to put a hundred+ hours into a PVE game as long as the combat is fun. I'm not typical in that regard. Thing is, if making a shooter game...

That's not what I recall reading from people for the most part. Most commonly, the people who didn't want their gear to break were not looking for other people to buy their gear indefinitely. While the people who wanted to keep selling their gear indefinitely, were more open to gear breaking...

Yes, this is more or less accurate. If the wrong type of power boots were included into the game, they would cease to be optional. In the most general sense of them all being a trade of resource for power, those options can indeed lead to the same general end. Balancing resource in and out is...

Of that, you can be certain. :D

I do not even buy in to your above premise. I have already addressed this assertion. I will not again. I can see how, if you ignore that I am speaking from my stance of what-creates-what, and view my words through your stance on what-creates-what, you heard the stuff about" The original...

I'd rather just let this go. However, if we are to continue and you insist that my original argument is what you state above, please quote the part where I said that.

Just let it be please. I'm going to go ahead and bow out of this discussion. Catch you later.

Maybe I have not been speaking plainly enough. @Sn0wfIak3 Yes, your idea about temporary power enhancement from consumables could be good for the economy and be part of the solution to power creep for a game. It is a good idea.

All evidence to the contrary.

Wait. How can that mean I'm wrong when I never argued otherwise? Seriously, what is it you think we were debating about?

Oh man I haven't thought about those old jokes in a long time. That's back when I was on my crusade to get some melee attacks added into firefall. And yes I do laugh. Mostly over the defeated corpses of my enemies....mwahahaha. ;)

One of my top ten favorite anime right there.

The question of which systems are most cost effective to create is a complex one in itself. I will leave that to another time.

You don't need to "back down". If you only look closer to what I have said, we arent exactly on different sides of the issue as it may seem to some. Yes. There are way's to design a system in which consumables are good for the economy as well as playing a part in staving off power creep. Your...

No, it's not even close to the stupidest idea out there because it's a good idea. And Yes I understand it. My first response to you when you presented the idea was- I only then went on to expand on the many ways where such a system might exist on some form. It's all good my friend.

Snowflake, please hear me. I'm not criticizing your idea, I like your idea. I never said it was bad, I said it was good. I don't know what else I can say on that front. My last several posts were not attempts to argue against your idea, in fact they weren't even discussing your idea at all. I'm...
