Meaningless Battles...

[Dzian]

I always had the feeling that our Wol is weak, and cant do shit w/o the power of friendship..x)

I dunno I mean we can take on entire armies and win single handedly, we can squish monsters like bugs. Ye those same monsters can tear and entire regiment of the maelstrom finest elites to shreds. They can't even scratch us though. Even if we fight 10 times as many of them single handedly..

Honestly it ruins the story with how powerful the player is. Dire peril world is doomed there is no hope. But along we come and save the day without even raising a finger or breaking a sweat..

Even the unwinnable battles. Like zenos. Oh okay he's big strong and powerful. The rematch against this guy is gonna be tough. But then you suddenly squish him like a bug... what gives....

Ruins the story and atmosphere. Hard won fights are never hard won.

We haven't had that many truly solo victories against the major antagonists, though. We've almost always been accompanied by other players or NPCs. We've been "scratched" on many occasions. We may be powerful, but not so powerful that we're able to stand alone against anything.

A villain's last minute escape doesn't get to me as much as when the antagonist doesn't just kill us when they have the chance. Yes, we've got the plot armor but it would be nice to have more of our own escapes believable.

The same poster, or another with a very similar face, was accusing quite a number of posters of being chatbots in a previous thread.

Simple logic test: How long has coherent AI text generation been a thing? How long has the poster been posting?

And how quickly can you discredit someone if all you need to do is say "you sound like a chatbot" and others believe you rather than forming their own opinion of the other person?

I'm not worried. They're here for drama by their own admission. Tossing them the occasional bone helps cut into their daily post limit (at least on that particular account, who knows how many of their other accounts aren't banned at the moment).

I don't come here to be popular or liked. I'm here to discuss a game I enjoy regardless of the flaws, which are frequently present in most MMORPGs. If some of my opinions are unpopular, then they're unpopular. I'm at least willing to defend my reasoning and point out where I see potential weaknesses.

It's just a shame that a few of the forum regulars are here to stir up trouble instead of discussing the game and that the moderators allow it to happen.
