Honestly this is getting a bit off the wall. If a weapon style difference is important to a mechanic in a game, I think you are missing what I was aiming for. Not "differences", more, NEW or Expanded upon and full developed concepts in gaming design…
I remember after Bill put computers in the libraries in Ohio, seeing a kid, 8? 9? Playing Runescape ages ago now. I laughed and I still get the biggest smile remembering that moment. In a library.. and this kid knew and managed to get to Runescape t…
I love that EVE is still going, and how brutally vicious it is led by true life sociopaths like the real world. They are true life characters on the stage, playing to the depths of all that was human nature long before the wheel, now given space shi…

Ok in response to the "I should play D&D Online", I gotta say... I played D&D during the eighties, DM'd a few years in college, and honestly.. what they did for the online game just makes me sad. I…
The French are great at protecting the worker, but.. corporations get away with planetary leeching and enslavement with no fear of wars or deaths, not even prison sentences. What can you do? Well.. maybe say you cant come here unless you agree to.. …
Ok in response to the "I should play D&D Online", I gotta say... I played D&D during the eighties, DM'd a few years in college, and honestly.. what they did for the online game just makes me sad. In all honesty, I disliked Everquest o…
Did the beta because of steam. The usual politics forced storyline, thus a fail, and the rest I had fun with for.. 18 hours. As the Hulk. Tried Iron man, wow were those controls glitchy bad. But buy it? lol.. no. They said wait wait.. 24 hours in, s…

Id love to be able to build my own rng cash shop where devs have to pay me.
Flip the script on them, see how they like it.
Innovative enough?
I think I saw quite a lot of that in Second Life. LOL.
I guess the thing most want is something along the lines of AI behavior depths within the game world.
I suppose you could give them a sort of Maslows Hierarchy of needs to wants. Basic animal intelligences, up to higher tiered cultural drivers to r…

In many ways today it is more about what they leave out than what they put in. Leaving out F2P, loot boxes, new classes which you need to have, P2W and soon would be rather innovative.
But one thing that could to create new forms of…

I think everyone wants to see more done with npc's.It does add a lot of problems adding all that scripted AI but it is most certainly still doable.We don't need nonsense like Ray tracing,we don't need any of those gimmicks that t…

Something I'd like to see in MMOs with open world player owned structures is the arrival of NPCs when you build a town.
The safer/better your town is, the more NPCs come to your shop/tavern/mall/town/etc. Those NPCs contribute t…
I mean honestly.. they show video of it taking SEVERAL MINUTES to beat down a singular mob... by several if not MANY people, and its a bear, or, some npc in the woods. They dont exactly seem intent on making fights all that common. And if people don…
Well, an answer of innovation and necessity to that would be, randomized Ages, Levels, and strengths of weakness' even amongst "Orc Guard" mobs. Including Elemental degrees of variance in resistances.
Then you really wouldnt be coming from a …
I dont do the dailies at Destiny 2 intentionally, I just grab all of those from the NPC's and if I end up doing it, its for a purpose or just random happenstance. I will say, I wouldnt ever have done Gambit or Strike Playlists if it hadnt been for s…

SW:TOR was the unfortunate byproduct of timing and the state of the industry when it was made. Everyone still wanted to make a superstar WoW clone hit. There was a very narrow vision on how these games could and should be made.

I tried liking DCUO. Really did. But engaging? No. There is obviously no real availability there to take past and tailor it to present or new. And for me individually.. I cant stand DC's rainbow nation politics and storyline pressure in games or in …
It cant be coincidence so many people come here to look... thinking all the same thing...
"Please God let there be an MMO worth playing..."
I have to agree with the Iselin too, if someone would just listen to the amazing ideas from the players,…
