Alpha Video 4- Quests and Battle

[Duelle]

Let me open with this, in case others missed it: 4-second global cooldown.

There, you see? I say "being a Guild Leader", you say "video gaming?? Lolz."

How normal is it to play MMOs again, to society? Remember the circus show that is the VGAs.

Depends. I've mentioned WoW to people, and I've gotten reactions ranging from "I tried it once" to "awesome. what server do you play on?". Sure you can mention Senator Santiaga--I mean, Senator Colleen Lachowicz, who was attacked during her campaign for playing WoW...except the attack failed and instead rallied the WoW fanbase to support her. She even won the election. There is a cultural shift taking place, believe it or not.

PS: Yes, the US Senate has an orc in its fold. =P

You have done exactly same thing with the majority of your post...everyone is entitled to their point of view...good, bad or indifferent...we all want something...we all want everyone else to see things our way...you have your wants and we have ours...

My way: solution that works for everyone in the way they want
Preypacer's way: solution that works for him, but doesn't work for everyone else

Nah dude, my point of view is objectively better and not wrong.

Toggle is not an answer. Its at best a token gesture that only isolates and ostracises people who use it. There should be difficult quests without the need to reduce it to a shopping list of the apocalypse.

Difficult quests can involve more than just fighting mechanics. If you want the major part of game lore reduced to a blend of "fov" activities then this game won't have much for people to invest in. The name only goes so far.

Please, enlighten me.

In what ways can a quest be made difficult, besides fighting mechanics?

[Chardrizard]

Jumping Puzzle, which people are probably too stupid to figure out especially along the earth-binded community.

[Wolfie]

No no, let him/her answer. I want to follow that argument out to its logical conclusion.

1. Minigames such as Parley with various difficulty levels for the opponents.
2. Involving crafting/ mining help in the instanced area. Or use the system for a related activity.
3. "Advancing wall of doom" where you run from a hazard. Or hell, environmental traps.
4. Interesting Failure conditions./ escorts that you translate for using the auto translator.
5. Echo is the animus. Synchonize the past with the npcs to get clues.

Out of all of these, which are trivialized by having map markers and a checklist telling you what's the next step in the quest?
