Text of the page (random words):
s taking them on an adventure and perhaps in the distance kit and kerisa are already there sitting and fishing glancing over their shoulders with amused expressions at the ruckus it s not a go slay the dragons image at all but a simple picture that reflects the humanity of a toon that s not counting the pirate and other costumes people can transform into courtesy of holiday events well i m not a fan of most country music and hip hop commands my attention in a way that distracts from anything i m working on so i rarely listen to either although i will say that cardwyn s nickname in raids is now primarily cardy b and because of that i now point out that the b stands for battle rez oh for pete s sake i do love my wife and family so don t go there i have two now the vixen set which features the spider mage robe and an out dating set which has card wearing an evening gown i should make one with a full tier set even having helm and cloak on just so i can look like a mage and drum up some consumables and or portals business i can t remember who said it but a friend in classic mentioned to me about a month ago that when they wear a full t2 set they get a lot more business posted by redbeard at 2 10 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels art mmos music musings rpgs friday april 2 2021 so that s how we looked okay i still haven t figured out how to post the video like you can with youtube and i blame poor tools by blogger here but here s a link to our k t kill as streamed by mirsh it s also nice to know i m not the only one who curses while raiding good thing the kids are much older or i d go crazy trying to censor myself but somewhere i think my grandfather would be proud of me for cursing as much as i do i ve always wondered how i sound in raids in discord and now i know you can hear me at the tail end just before the kill saying we ve got him we ve got him i can t help but confess that i was focusing on where i was on the screen hoping that i don t look too much like an idiot i can t stream because if i did you d see my head was on a swivel constantly looking for those banshees as they bore down on us and it s not a lot of fun once you hit phase 2 and you re trying desperately to conserve as much mana as you can for sheeping while wanding and pacing out your potion consumption a quick story about my grandfather during ww2 he and several other people in his division were promoted to corporal as they all stood in line a captain marched up and down saying i made you and i can break you my grandfather never one for tact piped up and cracked if that s the way you feel about it you can shove it up your ass my grandfather was busted back down to private quicker than you can say wtf eta fixed the link whoops posted by redbeard at 3 26 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels naxxramas raid wow classic thursday april 1 2021 give the people what they want if you get a chance go listen to the kinks album of the same name as this title you won t be disappointed mmos by necessity are a limited slice of an invented world as much detail a dev team can put into a game world there are going to be gaps some are massive such as the lack of religion being prominent as a divisive element and some are more subtle such as the lack of music and the arts in people s lives i was thinking of this when i read bhagpuss post about how the guild wars 2 devs tried to artificially create player hubs when the players had organically established their own hubs it s a good post and well worth reading and as you ll see my really short tl dr doesn t scratch the surface of its detail i don t play gw2 enough to comment on that specific mmo but it did give me fuel for thought concerning other mmos the most prominent of mmos world of warcraft has the recurring theme of conflict between orcs and humans at its center this is artificially propped up by blizzard even though the most popular expansions bc legion wrath all center around the two factions joining together against a common threat expansions or portions of them that emphasize the conflict tend to not be as well received however blizz keeps pushing the conflict because it s the core of the game or something although if you asked me what the core of wow was it s that old gods are bad and the source of all evil hp lovecraft rules still it also seems that blizz attempts to do the same thing that gw2 has been guilty of which is to create a new player hub for each expac or in the case of cataclysm an artificial attempt to re establish the faction capitals as the primary hubs in the game it s not like arenanet and blizzard are the only guilty ones here standing stone has created new hubs with each expac in lotro and bioware the same in swtor to an extent i can understand the need to create central hubs in new territories and they become the hub of activity for each expac but at the same time there s no reason in a fantasy or science fiction mmo that you can t just have a gamified way of allowing players to simply return to the hub of their choice and bounce back and forth from wherever the front is i guess my whole point is that instead of observing what the players are doing and trying to change behavior by artificial means why not let the players do their own thing i do realize that there is a game out there that does just that and it s called eve online but eve takes the give players the latitude to do what they want and opens up to an anything goes environment that sort of game isn t for everybody eve is definitely not for the faint of heart from giphy com and yet looking over how blizzard has implemented wow from expac to expac i can t help but think that blizz has lost a lot of what made the original vanilla or classic implementation of the game so great you can wander around and make your own way without being railroaded into a specific path that doesn t mean that people haven t figured out optimal paths for everything there s a reason why boosting services are so popular in classic but to experience endgame content you aren t limited to a very specfic path to experience naxx you don t have to have gone through aq40 for example and vice versa about the only limitation those two have is that you have to have at least gotten a decent amount of t2 gear from bwl and even then it s not a strict requirement i m living proof of that sorry couldn t resist some games however you can t not have various hubs with the events of the war of the ring as a backdrop lotro can t avoid having hubs in various locales and swtor has hubs on each planet you visit as a necessity since traipsing across the galaxy is not a simple thing but an azeroth or tyria they have no such limitations it s all up to the devs to observe the players and reinforce their preferences rather than trying to redirect them because artificial redirection doesn t always go well this is merely an observation not an indictment many of the longest running conflicts over the centuries have been fueled by religion so the absence of those types of conflicts in mmos do tend to stand out and as many conflicts are driven by religion an equal or greater number use religion as an excuse for something else such as albigensian crusade which was merely an excuse of the northern french nobles to invade languedoc in the south of france battle for azeroth as the primary example although the complaints about that expac are much much more than just artificially creating conflict besides you always have your ship to hang out in posted by redbeard at 7 45 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to
