New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

Oh noes, you have to have friends to defeat beings who can revive constantly. They make it a point throughout the story that you need more than yourself to defeat the trials you face, why are you surprised?

Don't really know why I bothered to reply, you will just ignore anything that you don't agree with anyways.

Because it doesn't make sense in the story given?

Unless you know, the Immortal being whose probably lived longer then you and I combined was kind enough to leave the portal open for a couple hours to let me set up a plan and call people inside =)

Time freezes between sections of quests. It kind of has to, or else you would be forced immediately into situations you aren't prepared for. It does this in most games.

That is how a story should be, with a chance to fail completely and the story should change base on your failing. You shouldn't always "win" everything, that just makes a bad story.

One of the reasons I think games like this are failing, are people just have so much time to preplan and prepare for events ahead. Life doesn't always give you a test or pretest you can study before taking on its challenges and its unfair.

This is one thing that makes the story boring+predictable.

In Everquest 1, do you think many people were prepared for some of the older world changing events in the game? NO! You had to go do them now! If you failed to do them your game changed for the better or worse. The developers didn't stop time for you to sit and plan, you had to learn the strategies of the fight at the time it was released or you failed.

That is what made good stories. That is why such things and older games are still talked about today, because they were truley epic.

These days time stops and people just sit and watch youtube videos to tell them how to complete the test.

stuff.

and games like that wouldnt cut it these days.

Would you prefer to be forced into the instance and then have to wait an undetermined amount of time for the 7 other people to join?

No, I would prefer to be forced into the instance, and if I failed I failed entirely and the world changes because of my failure. Some times I shouldn't mess with things I don't understand and the game teaches me that through my failures and mistakes.

I would of prefered having to fight it alone, and possibly failing. Then having to find a way to get back inside with help.

Now THAT would have been a good story.

Just feeding you here, but for someone who is pro solo - you sure took on that challenge with a lot of schs. Seems like you need friends to win fights.
