Some other games offer similar things. When creating a character, you would choose some stuff about what lead your character to where he is now, like "joined the forces, after his family got killed during the war", "was raised in an orphanage and got drafted"... Depending on what you chose, you...

Flawless logic.

I love hard content. Believe me. I want hard content. And skill should matter. But there is one problem. Content has to be somewhat accessible to the player base. If content is hard for the top 10%, it is probably impossible for the bottom 90%. As soon as content becomes easy enough for the top...

How about answering my questions? Why did you not answer them? And don't give me the "but i did answer your questions", because you clearly did not. benefit of forcing to play full platoon: downside of allowing to play with fewer people:

Yeah... this discussion originated in a different thread, where we talked about why it would be useful to put at least some instancing into the game (knowing that MK is not planning it). Some people said some things and then we started arguing about this topic. And since some people keep...

double post RIP

Bonus challenges all great and stuff, but why FORCE people to bring a full platoon? What is the benefit? Why not allow any number of players up to 10, and have the bonus challenges? What would be the downside of that?

Yep. I misread that. Still not a fan of the idea.

"They were allowed to use up to 10, but only needed 5, because they played so well." ABUUUSEEEE!!! It is imba. But we are talking about content in FireFall. More specific: Kanaloa and DoD. Was GW1 beta part of FF? No. Was the GW1 beta Necro class part of FF? No. So what exactly has this GW...

They are not designed to be fought by 5 AVERAGE people. The instance is designed to be challenging for 20 AVERAGE players. That means it will not be challenging for 20 good players. And definitely not for 20 players in the top 1%. I do not go against how the game is designed, when i clear the...

Yes, changing the instance has an impact on everyone who runs the instance. Inside of the instance. Changing an ability has an effect on every single player using the ability, no matter what content they choose to play. It also has an effect on all content in the game. Your logic is flawed...

Why would they do that? Why not simply change the instance instead?

Just like the developers can influence, if the player base becomes active and wants to improve, or if the players are mainly boring zombies who want to get rewarded for everything they do (and also attract more players of a certain type). They can also influence the social behavior of players...

So typical... No it is not abuse. It is "using the own skill in a way that does not directly benefit bad players who would get carried". Nearly every game with instanced content allows this and it is 100% a good thing. Skilled players can clear the content with a smaller group and benefit from...

Looking at the first video you posted... Something similar could be used in Ember to divide skilled players from less skilled players, for certain fights. There could be areas, where the only way to get there would be to rush through an open field, while being shit on with ranged attacks...

I think you are misunderstanding what it is about. Of course, a shooter game requires some kind of skill, to be able to hit a target, but aim is just a small part when it comes to games like FF was. Aim was probably the least relevant part of skill. It was about picking a strong combination of...

Did nobody teach you that repeating the exact same thing will probably not cause people to gain new insights? Actually, i told you a while ago. Here. I also asked you a few questions in order to end the misunderstanding we had there, but you did not answer them for some reason. Yes. You...

So now you are over interpreting my statements as well? Great job m8. Maybe my generalizing statement about stupidity was indeed justified. Learn the meaning of the word "stupid", before calling people names. To answer your rhetorical question: you are the idiot for inventing things that i...

Yes. That is true. If i remember correctly, the main reason why skill (being far above average) would actually matter, would be a reward system that gradually gives a player a higher amount of stuff, depending on how valuable the player's contribution to an event was. While that would reward...

Not really. Everything you used to "refute" my points is either part of the point you are trying to refute, not true, or based on assumptions (which might be true or false). I did not take picks. I simply cut out some stuff WITHOUT CHANGING ANY OF THE MEANING OR CONTEXT in order to make the...
