[dev1031] Truly "Hardcore-friendly" NMs. Make us HUNT them.

You're clearly referencing and quoting my post.

Sorry to burst a rather self centered bubble, but I'm referencing to a load of timewasting-supporting and supposedly "hardcore" threads popped up recently

In any case, this thread isn't about lottery spawns, so you may want to go discuss about it in your own thread. It'd be less off topic at the very least.

I think 20-30 spawn sites which are varied enough to encourage exploration is the best way to go, this way they could also stop any bottleneck area's or roadside spawns from ganking low ranking players.

Another solution would be to have the current NM's randomly spawn in one another's locations, so even if you are camping the area you don't know what your guna get, this would at least stop people camping specific NM's and items.

The problem with that is that it brings camping back into the picture, and with camping, it brings overcamping back. Overcamping turns everything into another timesink.

I wouldn't worry about bottleneck areas (the non-aggressive toggle solves that) and even less about roadside areas. If you're on a roadside open area and aren't up to fight, you simply leave the road and walk around the NM. I'm sure even the most newbie-ish players can do just that, especially with the new aggro icons.

Whatever, Abriael. Your the one with the self-centered bubble, your posts are laden with condescension and you shoot down nearly every idea anyone has with negativity. "The thrill of the hunt" is clearly taken from my post.

I don't know if you noticed, but you're clearly off topic. If you feel vengeful about me criticizing your "idea" (because a discussion forum is all about that, you know?), maybe you could try actually contributing to this thread with actual in-topic discussion, instead of going off topic. As I did with yours.
Criticism = discussion != negativity.


Besides, the "thrill of the hunt" expression has been used multiple times, by multiple people, in the last few days. I didn't know you had the expression copyrighted

Ugh...whatever.

Great idea Abriael! This is exactly what I've been talking about when I encourage people to think outside the box and propose new game play mechanics that are interesting and fun!

[Abriael]

Oh like the system from the present and the past, where you grabbed a page to hunt nms, that would be kinda cool, they'd probably make it a leve though :/ or a quest which you also are limited to 16 with. I like the page concept, but they don't have to add fields of valor which pre gimped fields of valor is basically like leves haha

They already have this actually. It's the faction leve NMs.
