Have you ever played a regular tabletop game? I'm talking dice and character sheets? You ever try to play a game where the GM has this big plotline with twists, secret plots, espionage, and NPC character interaction? Have you seen how pissed she gets when you disregard all of this and decide to attack a castle because you can use the gold in there to buy a huge army?Originally posted by Shamx
Wow Bionitrous
It is so wonderful to see that you can speak for Funcom and tell the rest of us un-enlightened what we can do to affect the story!
Bull****. GMs are game masters, and can control NPCs as well. So can ARKs who are in the Events department. Remember, there is an actual employee that handles events.Originally posted by Shamx
As a matter of fact Funcom doesn't even run events those are done by the ARK's (volunteer players) and even those aren't included in the "story" most of the time.
And it is so wonderful that you share with us your infinite wisdom that you feel left out from the people who have been in an event.Originally posted by Shamx
It is wonderful to see that soemone thinks that they can actually affect anything in the game when it is painfully clear to the rest of the community that nothing we do does affect the story in one direction or another, short of a blurb.
Gee, imagine that. All I thought PvP was for was for those useless titles.Originally posted by Shamx
There is no battle between the factions, there is simply a convient way to PVP. There is no political influence or even statesmanship (the original outline for Crats).
Right, because we know that everyone is in an absolute rush to get to 200.Originally posted by Shamx
There is barely anyway to level in the game short of missions, since funcom is painfully aware of how fast they are losing their subscription base, so they turn up the level curve more and more.
You mean the story-based mission that everyone can do just like you can and affect the whole universe by completing it? I think I saw it in Rome, and completed it 15 times already. [QUOTE]Originally posted by ShamxOriginally posted by Shamx
This is not roleplaying to any degree, where is the story based missions that the community has to complete to affect the story?
[B]Who ever said WE SHOULD WRITE OUR OWN Story? Where should I go to trigger an advantage for clans or omni for that matter ?Before or after the bloodthirsty activists kill them for their Ph4t l3wtz?Originally posted by Shamx
Where's the NPC (either GM run or AI?) That I talk to to trigger some key happening?Well, lessee.. that spawn that everyone else can kill, and put their name in the headlines as well?Originally posted by Shamx
Where's the Questing? What can my guild do that would affect anyhting other than going and killing some unique spawn?
And story-based guilds that a player can join is...bad...Originally posted by Shamx
The story in this game is Theatre (Funcom says is RPG) The rest of the game is a level contest, and a item camping lag fest. I say that Funcom hasn't made a step in the right direction, I am glad you are happy to play a movie from a website and call it Roleplaying.
