MMORPG - FATE Discussion

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...TE.html/page/1

MMORPG.com discussing fate and similar dynamic content.

Whilst it doesn't exactly bring anything new to the table, MMORPG is certainly aiding in promoting ARR (something we can all agree is a good thing).

Personally I get excited when I see ARR being discussed with keen enthusiam on popular gaming websites.

I'm glad they mentioned the part about behests. Behests were pretty crappy like most the rest of launch FFXIV but they basically were an implementation of the same kind of content and gameplay function - spontaneous content that anyone can join in on.

The Garlean invasions in V1 were pretty much FATE too.

I think a lot of people simply assume guild wars 2 invented dynamic events because they don't know any better. Gw2 did polish them a lot, as the article states, but it in no way invented dynamic events. This brings back memories of a certain article which used a headline along the lines of "final guild fantasy wars XIV-2"

Some people are simply redundant.

I think Warhammer Online was the first and then Rift did it.. and then GW2.

I think that's the order of which games have Dynamic Events

Let's not forget Campaign battles, or Besieged. They were stationary, but essentially the same thing.

I was thinking about this whole FATE thing, and when was the first time I truly saw something like this in an MMO.

This is going way back (for me) FFXI before the PS2 release. There was an event with Twinkling Treants in the zones that everyone could attack and we were promised something amazing if we defeated them all on the server. The spawned for a few minutes in one area, and then disappeared.

In the end we got the outpost warp NPCs at the garisons ^_^

FATE has been around for a long time in the mmo world, I just think it wasn't given the same amount of attention until Warhammer introduced the public quests.

Someone needs to share this somewhere else.. ;)

People keep saying ARR's dynamic events were ripped straight from GW2, but then again that's coming from people who only played 2 online games their entire gaming life. Which is FFXI and FFXIV xD

lol good point it does share some things in common with GW2 but what I love is FFXIV ARR didn't take it as a main source of leveling like GW2... GW2 just over did it and it was tacky hopefully FF14 has a decent balance since it has a questing system o.o/

I got to 19 on Gw2 and I haven't played it since and I got the game late December right before Christmas.

It's an okay game, but I also think it was very overrated, but that's beside the point.
