Respecting the content is highly important, I feel. I've noticed that even when a character within this great community is crossing a narrow bridge or a fallen pillar they run across it as if it were nothing.
I propose that to increase immersion such situations brought about a new active time event in the form of enforced walking. Perhaps if your character fails to walk in the correct balanced manner they risk falling off and dying? I think it'd be a great way to make duties more engaging and dangerous.

I'm a catgirl, my balance would read 100/100 if we could apply scores. Agility too.
-
11-01-2019, 10:10 PMTheodricThat's a good point. Maybe more agile classes and races can have an enhanced walking speed to cross obstacles more quickly.Quote:

If this means more tightrope walking like the one phase of the final boss of Dhon Mheg, then...
I unironically agree. -
11-01-2019, 10:24 PMGranyalaDude... I've slain Ascians... traveled to other worlds... been half dead... trekked over mountains... do you honestly think that I am afraid of heights and need to stutter step or crawl?!Quote:

A dungeon where there are parts you have to walk else you aggro a slew of ghosts would be cool.
There are parts in Qarn normal and hard where you can avoid aggroing groups by walking or giving enemies a wild berth. I do like stuff like that, but it glosses by most people. -

Please no, no tightrope walking or any slow walking spots. By the time I get across that chasm in Don mheg the fight is usually over.
And imagine having to slow walk the same area several times after a wipe. -
11-01-2019, 11:37 PMTheodricIt'd be a case of taking the scenic route.Quote:

We got people jumping off other people's swords... and you think the Warrior of Light, master of All jobs and trades, Killer of Gods and Deposer of Kings, Dimension crosser, Future seer, who has cheated death thousands of times.... is gonna need to wibble wobble step over a thin bridge?

11-01-2019, 11:59 PMTheodricEven the Warrior of Light has flaws.Quote:

Eh, i could see it applying to our NPC allies, but not the WOL.
I just can't see poor balance being an issue for us.
But i absolutely could see, say, Alphinaud getting tripped up by such things. -

Ya'll realize this is some (really fine) bait, right?

Dohn Mheg?
-
11-02-2019, 06:35 AMViolet_GalaxyWhy stop there? Enforced limited ammunition to MCHs and BRDs and limited heals for the healer! After all, utilizing magic takes lots of time and concentration and any savvy healer will be exhausted! You can't carry all the bullets/arrows in the world you know? Prioritizing your shots and simply running away from the rest is not only ideal but realistic! I hope SE sees this and starts laying the layers in 6.0! :DQuote:

You aren't a real WoL until you sprint jump across Dhon Mheg.

This is probably the least-cleverly disguised bait post I've ever seen. And it didn't work because people took it seriously.

Honestly, I like this idea for the sake of immersion and because there's things like the new dungeon we got where I wanted to genuinely look around before running up to the final boss... And instead the party just sprints on through without even exploring. Devs spend hours/days/weeks on this kinda detail and attention, and it's so we can sprint on through to the next pull or boss. It's just a damn shame :/

That's why you do new dungeons either with friends or with Crystal Exarch Bro.Quote:

My immersion is ruined after the first clear of the dungeon. When I get it through roulette I could care less about the immersive impact it had on me.

I am warrior of light and darkness, Ender of Dragonsong, The great liberator of two nations, saviour of the first, Slayer of eikons, and most importantly, stealer of pants. I am not pleased to only able to walk across while that smartass astrologian teleport across and that handsome but rookie gunbreaker gap close the gap.
Also I forgot how to walk, so yeah, have to run the bridge. -
