you need good roles in everything to enjoy the game. Do you even play the game ? ever heard about gate keeping ?
Look , I ain’t greedy, I only expect fair game play / system. If they can make this game pay 2 play, get rid of all the gambling , honing, incentives that causes players to fomo… i’ll be more than happy to pay a box price on top of monthly sub…
But no, LA isn’t designed that way. The game in a nutshell is predatory in my opinion and promotes players to fomo
This I can agree with…
why do you think some people throw in thousands of even 10s of thousands of dollars in this game ? sure that may be disposable income for them. Not judging at all, but there is gotta be an incentive in game system which promotes that amount of spending ? Why do you think some game have whales, some doesn’t ?
But then you would have even less competent players in your lobbies. How are they going to learn to play that alt properly if you just do their content on your other alt more suitable for that raid?
There were moments when I wanted to be able to skip doing Vykas on my Sorc, but in the end, I’m glad I couldn’t. It made me get better on that Sorc.
Man you knew from the start this game is not buy to play but a free 2 play game.
As for gatekeeping it’s usually because everyone wants to be in as much juiced up lobbies as possible while they themselves are not juiced up granted sometimes it is also due to a class as I play a Reaper I know all about it yet I still managed to clear Brel Hard Mode first week…
I’ll give you an example what happened to me yesterday, I am a swiper got a really juiced up Reaper maybe even best juiced reaper on EU and after finishing up all my weeklies I felt like going in and helping community for Argos, Valtan, etc… So I see 3 lobbies one of them is a lonely scouter guy with a much lower ilvl than the players in other two lobbies so I join his to solo carry and help the guy, but guess what his lobby starts filling up so freaking fast and he himself starts to deny and gatekeep players so I call him out and leave his lobby, if every player acts as an example of how they wish the community to be than we wouldn’t have this problem but unfortunately the players themselves are the problem for gatekeeping not AGS and not SG, majority of players want it easy or simply don’t understand the game and just follow the echo from some streamer that said a certain class is bad etc…
It’s once a week, why does it matter to be efficient? The goal is to have fun, not to be OH HIS MESSING up. why not, dam his messing up we can teach him now with all of our free time?
The word competent is a by product of how lousy the raiding game is right now. THAT YOU NEED 10x11 gems 5x3+! 90 quality+ know every mech on day one of Brel. Like that needs to go, that idea needs to die with that boomer class of players and ideology.
The word fun isn’t there anymore. If you need competent players go play league find out your rank. And play a competitive game. That measures you competency.
And on top of that people dont wana play with mates. So this gatekeep story etc its a player deicision.
MMO Pubing in a Nutshell.
So by your definition a F2P game has to be predatory in nature ? that applies to every F2P game you say ?
ANd again , you instead of looking at the game flaw , you blame the players for behaving how a game core is designed to promote / allow such behavior from the player. Maybe you should watch Asmon video above. I will quote what Asmon said “Players are like water, water only flows in the direction and path that has been created for the water in the first place. That path creation meaning the game design”
I don’t know what to tell you. Efficiency is one way to play this game. The other is min-maxing. The other is casual, fun-time playing.
But trying to satisfy all of them in a same raid is bound to be impossible. Unless a rehearsal mode with better rewards are added, which would reward progression pieces for crafting weapons but in a much slower pace than normal and hard ones, as well as a mentor system with benefits for helping others learn the raid or at least carry them so they get the feel for the battle.
Yes and by reducing it, to just one character. Why does it matter? You’ll never feel that pressure again right? OH I have to do 30, well now if you do 3? What pressure is there. None. You actually have more time to relax, and enjoy.
That was his idea and many others ideas to reduce burnout and the ideology that you need to be efficient. Guess what it is the correct answer.
If I didn’t ahve to do 6 HM brels, I would be way happier. I would do more teaching raids with my friends and guildies. But nop, I spend so much time per 1-6 that my week goes by without any interaction with any one other than my static which are burning out getting frustrated with wiping.
WoW did it… it is called LFR or Mythic + . Some people think these are the worst thing that ever came to WoW. I beg to differ.
You can stay casual, have fun, chill, and progress . Sure, some players are lazy, or just want to relax, let them… give them that option, why not ? It is not taking anything away from the hardcore.
Not to mention Mythic + is actually really fun and challenging when it gets to higher tiers. Still a lot more forgiving than heroic / mythic raid though.
If I was able to only do 3 raids per week right now, when I’m used to doing 15-16, I would go crazy and probably quit.
If that was the initial design ,I guess i’d be looking forward to those 3 raids every week and wouldn’t mind some wiping the floor. It would be expected since we have much less attempts to learn the raid.
It literally wouldn’t be the same game.
But if on TOP OF THE CURRENT SITUATION rehearsal modes are made, then that’s super fine by me. Sounds great!
No one said you couldnt do 15-16. The idea is you collect the gold on one character. Who said you couldn’t? Can you not do 50+ raids on your +7-8-9-10 ults? You can literally right now you can. Nothing stops you from further raiding. But just because you like to raid X times doesn’t mean the majority like its.
You mean, doing the Valtan 6x times on your main instead of one time on every alt? I don’t get it?
The idea is you collect all your raid gold and materials on one character correct? That doesn’t limit you from doing raids on other alts currently. It’s just like how it is now. You finish your top 6x3 correct? But your 7th and 8th alt you can still play them. It’s just in this version your 6x3 is now 1x3, and your 7th becomes your second alt+
It’s simply more efficient, and you have a TON of time now to play the game. RAID ALL YOU want now without feeling pressured after your 1x3. Everything after your 1x3 is just fun with your friends or guilds or strangers.
Basically noone would be doing those raids on their alts if they wouldn’t earn rewards for them. Their alts would be relegated to daillies. And suddenly the daillies would be too little instead of too much because you wouldn’t have anything to do in the game.
Because it’s irrational to expect people to play for no rewards. Look at what happened to rehearsal modes. 2-3 lobbies per week per clown and 0 for Brelshaza rehearsal, and that’s not for nothing, but for mayhem and phantom marks which give decent rewards in the shop, LOL.
Well that’s their time they can do w.e, but people would still raid because of the lack of content. But it’s not about those who like to grind, its about keeping more players so you can grind. Whats the point of you grinding in a dead game? Your just wasting your life and time. And people need to understand this. You said the exact same thing veterans in BDO and TERA said. They’re both dead now.
The problem is that SG would rather kill themselves and their children than reduce dailies and weeklies. I don’t think this will ever change unfortunately.
Same question to you, because the game would drop dead immediately if that would be implemented. The only thing keeping it alive is 1 account playing the same shit on 6+ characters. Nothing else.
you are probably, right. There are players that are so dedicated , and used to these type of grind that really enjoys LA the way it is. Even now, SG knows that. I can say for sure that I am not part of that group lol.
So, if SG decides to change some of the fundamental aspect of the game, that could really backfire in a already burning situation/.
