    I did not bully anyone. I addressed points and tried to have a reasonable discussion. <<<Forum Rules: You agree to not use ad hominem or personal attacks. Any post containing them is subject to editing by the moderators, and may result in a warning. Multiple warnings can result in an...

    If you are not a fan of drama, why do you try to cause it? At least it seems like you are trying, because much (probably most) of your criticism is unjustified. Criticism unjustified. I specifically stated, under which assumption it would be that much. I guess most people can guess that i...

    Long version: Then why do you repeat it? I did not personally attack, or bully anyone. And i did not try to. I addressed what you said. I asked multiple questions and brought up some criticism towards your "agro depending on equipment worn, not depending on damage done" idea. Sadly, you...

    Short version: Great job ignoring all the other things i said and putting the stuff you quoted out of context. Instead of getting triggered, you could address the points i made and show how wrong i am.

    What can Em8er learn from Firefalls' model?

    Now that you mention this, it reminds me of the crates in Amazon. There was a set amount of crates and they were in set locations, all across the map. In order to be able to get to (some of) them, it was necessary to push back the melding in certain areas of the map, so not all crates were...

    Aside from you claiming to know better what i think and why i do things, than i do... Let's play a game. I call it "find the insult". This is what i said. If i had actually insulted you, i would probably have to agree with you, but since that is not the case... It is likely that you expected me...

    I was not mocking you. I simply pointed out that your example was useless, because balance in solo player games is irrelevant for this discussion. If you think that pointing out facts makes me an ass... go figure what is wrong with you. Yeah... it is an example. Examples are supposed to be...

    What can Em8er learn from Firefalls' model?

    Dark Souls is mainly SOLO PvE. Ember is supposed to be MULTIPLAYER PvE. That makes a massive difference. How can you not get that? In dark souls, you run around alone. Enemies are balanced to fight against 1 player. If you play bad, YOU DIED and can not progress any further than you deserve...

    -patching too often is a waste of resources and gets annoying for both parties -if patches are almost exclusively very small, they cause no "hype" experience and do NOT give the perception of (much) improvement (unless they are bugfixes) -when something is patched, it has to be something...

    If i was able to find the answer to my question in the post i quoted, i would probably not have asked the question. So what new information is this repost supposed to give me? I never played URT. What is onslaught? If Onslaught is a game mode in URT and NOT EVEN that one was open world...

    That is exactly what i am worried about. Afaik, there is not a single game out there, that is actually skill based AND a multiplayer AND "real" open world. I have no idea how that would be supposed to work.

    Read pretty much any of my posts. From what i have read and heard so far, it looks like: ("-" flaw, ">>" possible fix) -actual coordinated teamplay will not be properly supported (because of missing necessity) >> instances -armies will be pretty irrelevant >> instances, army exclusive...

    About guilds...

    At some point, people will know. Actual "elite achievements" should not allow to be carried through them, if possible. I remember something similar from WoW (before the cataclysm). Something else was: multiple separated boss enemies, which have to be killed within a few seconds of another, so...

    About guilds...

    There is this thing called "job interview". You are being checked for some attributes and if you pass, you are rewarded with a job. I would assume, that you are familiar with this practice and i would also assume, that you are not against it. However, according to you, the same should not be...

    About guilds...

    It is strange, how people seem to generally see elitism as something negative. It is not. EVERYTHING is based on elitism, in some way or another Maybe most of those who use the word, do not really know what it means. 1. leadership or rule by an elite >>Countries, companies, ..., everything is...

    If the budged would allow it, this is how i would do it: >>>War in the open world >Everybody can participate and gain rewards by participating. >Dying is punished loosely --> respawn in a different location and get a temporary malus >Playing better (having a higher impact) would grant...

    I was editing my post while you quoted it (revoked the changes, since you already had quoted). This is some of what i had added If a fight is not instanced, people can simply respawn and return to battle as often as they like (unless dying causes a significant, stacking malus for a limited time...

    Only for bad players. This goes for PvP and PvE. Instancing is the easiest (and probably the best) way to allow actual coordinated teamplay, actual balance and to implement content that has a real skill requirement. In PvP, it allows to have teams of equal sizes (and balanced skill) play...
