Rokien's new thread on Hamlet Defense

[Sephrick]

I said alot more than "it was a year ago". If I remember correctly I said enough to warrant 20,000 views, 700+ responses, several hundred likes and developer attention. I can link you this information if you don't believe me (I'm willing to bet you do though, as I can copy and paste some of your tirades that you went through during said discussion).

I do agree, unfortunately SE is trying to guide this game to the a purely instanced content grinder. I have made it apparent that we as a playerbase want more than just instances. The Rep's said they the dev team will be looking at what I posted, so who knows? Maybe we might see more than just an instanced piece of garbage.

I was unaware that 159 qualified as "several hundred." Approximately 1% of the population is clearly "the playerbase" though, right?

This is why most people get agitated. No one is saying "no open content at all evar." But people like you troll along and immediately call instances "garbage" months before 2.0 is out and insist they'll be the death of the game.

Like I said in your thread, I do want HNMs and open world events. I want Hamlet Defense in 2.0 to be more like campaign. I, just like that 80% from the second players poll, just don't want to deal with the claim wars again.

But what Hamlet Defense currently is is a symptom of the current server and engine design. If they didn't put it in an instance there's be a flood of posts with people complaining they're getting killed by or NPCs and objects are being wiped by mobs no one can see.

Did you ever play FFXI? Do you remember the beseiged events. SE can't do open raids. The lag is KILLER. I want to be able to see the mob attacking me

Yup. Nothing was worse in Besiged than dying to Mijin Gakure spam from mobs you didn't know we're around you.

If it being instanced allows for coordinated tactics and gameplay we can actually respond to then so be it.

Fun yes, Annoying as hell because you could see crap.. Bigger Yes!.. Large Scale content is only good.. if you can see everything around you.. or else whats the point? Instanced for Large Scale content I agree on ( unless 2.0 engine allows for 100+ players to be visible) then yes go Non-Instanced.

Don't get me wrong I love Campaign and Besieged.. but not knowing where anything was= Started to lose gradually play that content.

How bout you wait to see how it is actually implemented, play it, and then whine about it.

You seem to have forgotten who started the thread. This is the guy that makes polls to remove features that haven't even been implemented yet.

I try not to visit the forums unless I'm looking for something in particular, so I wasn't aware lol. Probably should have been on notice though with the OP's necessity to place his name in the title.

Thanks Rokien, you actually hit it right smack on the nail for this one.

we would probably be stuck with a bunch of crappy roaming NM's I doubt the primal battles could be the way they are in an open area since they require a small area to be effective, just think if everyone was able to out run hellfire, momento, etc.

You've never heard of zone-wide attacks or King Vinegarroon, have you?
