MMO player archetypes

Which one are you ?
http://www.mmogames.com/gamearticles...acter-classes/
I know I am the jerk lol. I do get annoyed after 3 wipes in a farm party :P

Aww, I was expecting there to be some manner of test. Meh. I picture myself as the 'Voice of Reason' but that's not one of the listed archtypes.

Append: Oh wow, that's jerk, they hid the quiz in a tiny little link hidden in a sentence.

Every Append: Wow, seems I'm a "Dragonborn"... even if I've never tanked a day in my life.

Guess id be a Guardian :P

I got "The Mom" on the quiz

Im more of the *mom* I guess , but I get picked last or never lol .

"The Guardian" I've run across so many of these people, but never until now did I actually think of them as an personality Archetype.

Nice to see Jerks getting some positive recognition, I know so many of these types get dismissed because of their condescending attitude but are actually very very good.

Though I don't know how others would feel about me, I'd say I'm probably a mute.

Good read! I recognize several of my FC guys as a mixture of two of the types.

Found the quiz, love the Pokemon song for the last question. I got "The Guardian", which is good because that's actually the intent of the FC in the first place.

The Muse picture is so funny because of the way it describes that type of player lol.

I end up getting guardian.

It seem that I'm a The Guardian type player.m:) Cool.

None of them apply to me, sad. Oh well.

I consider myself a Mute more than the others, but the test found me to be Dragonborn. Although the Million Dollar Man title can also sorta fit for me, as I always aim to make money in games.

So many guardians . Are you guys being honest with yourself?

The Guardian.
Saw that coming though. I try to impart advice on newbies all the time and I try to be as patient as possible with people, unless they are being rude. I also love helping out friends that are new to the game. Gogo Ifrit story runs!

I got Mom.
hmmm I guess it fits pretty well.

Cool Guardian. ^^ Guess I did start out as a Tank then switched to DPS. I like joining people when they need help too. I'm surprised I didn't end up with Mute. I don't talk much.

I don't think there are enough questions. I got Goku, but I hate pvp. Mute or Achievement hunter would be a better fit.

Also the muse description cracked me up. tease-ticles lol

I took the Quiz and I am a Dragonborn.

I got Mom, which is true once I'm comfortable in the FC/guild. Until then, I'm "Mute".

I took the test twice, because there were two answers I could validly give to the last question.

I got "Guardian" and "Mom".

I got the Guardian archetype. Honestly that's not quite accurate given how I play and behave. I'm more a middle of the road mutt on that one. I'd say 45% Guardian, 45% Jerk, and 10% Dragonborn.

I suppose I'm a Dragonborn. Not a tank, but kinda funny really cause of the whole dragon slayer thing...

According to the quiz im a Mom.

But i consider myself as 50% muse, 5% MOE, and maybe 45% jerk, since this part of the jerk paragraph is TOTALLY true for me T^T :

" With that said, these people are not all bad—they just lack patience. In fact, they will most likely have your back when you gain their respect. Jerks are also masters of healing, perhaps even better than Moms, and the only reason why they don’t get picked first is because they’re giant assholes."

The idea of gamer archetypes is a very old one, though. Here's a quiz for one of the old classics: https://www.gamerdna.com/quizzes/bar...sychology/take

I got Explorer 80%, Achiever 60%, Socializer 53%, Killer 7%.

Quiz is way too short to be definitive :)

Nothing in there for "The Crafter" specialists, as just one example...

I'm a Guardian Carpenter. Fear the Saw!

if using both tests listed (and my own for fun added type system) "Solo" Guardian Adventurer

I ended up being the Team Mom. I usually play a Healer on my main character, so that isn't surprising all that much. Though I have been asked to join a Jenova Server Guild by a friend of mine and to play a Thaumaturge on that server, so we shall see how much Momming I do there.

I'm a huge combination. I'm not very involved in my guild so that part doesn't really apply, but I'm a mixture of Mom, Mute, and Dragonborn. I'm almost always a Healer. I try to calm a situation before things escalate. I've gotten more than a few people who were strangers a week beforehand to completely open up about serious stuff in their life.

I don't participate in voice chat. I had a mic once, a Turtle Beach I bought for my PS3 but used for my PC. One of the earpieces broke after a 1 foot fall, and when I tried to epoxy it back on, the other one broke just by holding it. So I tossed it and haven't bought a new one. I often listen in though, and when I'm doing hard content that is new to me with a good group who has done it before, a simple call out is enough for me to get it, and I learn after the first or second time seeing a mechanic.

As for the Dragonborn part, well I'm by no means the best player, but rarely is a wipe my fault. I may cause a wipe when I'm learning something, for example I wiped twice in T5 my first time before learning it. But once I know the content, I rarely get hit. I don't run with statics in anything so I PUG a lot of stuff, and I'm usually one of the better ones at dodging and managing the mechanics.

This archetype thing is fun! It didn't seem terribly though through for all of it but in general it was pretty good!

I'm a Yes Man! Sounds about right bahah.

I took the quiz and I got Dragonborn.

HAH

HAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*gasp*

I got Mom, but none of these really clicked with my personality. If I could mix Mom with Jerk somehow that would fit more.

I took the quiz and got Guardian. Yes I was honest, with the options given. Though I know perfectly well that I don't even belong in that category.

Sadly a lot of the choices there aren't really helpful which bottlenecks you into a category you probably don't belong to but you're placed there by force even if you're being as honest as possible.

I am the Mute Mom. I enjoy healing and helping but in silence.

Guardian on first try and then Dragonborn? I can deal with that. I mean, I'm not so good that I *consider* myself a Dragonborn, but the description kind of reminded me of my first Titan run. I'd guess my bad connection was contagious since everybody seemed to be lagging up, so I was the last one left. Somehow, maybe I was just lucky, I won the fight. Even though everybody was groaning about how they could've done more, I felt like they all deserved equal congratulations for at least helping get him down so somebody could deal the last few strikes...but I was a tank, so the last few strikes were a couple thousand instead of three. I'd consider myself more like a guardian though...maybe 80% mute, 15% guardian, and 5% dragonborn.

Like when I joined ARR in early access. I stick by my words, which were "All I want to do is help people, that's why I chose gladiator."

I was a Goku >_>;

take a guess :D

which is so true, except for the fact i am geared for pve, but ONLY play pvp in this game.

I knew I was a Mom before I even saw the quiz. The quiz only confirmed it (even if it's hardly a comprehensive quiz).

Mute Role Model that absolutely DESPISES having to lead or tank. Not sure how the hell that works... >.>

I'd say I'm somewhere between guardian and dragonborn. I usually catch combat mechanics quickly and I enjoy helping newer people, but I just like playing the game and meeting good people.

I got "The Mom." Haha.
