Hehe, u can't find any better comment than this in this threadOriginally posted by KKrylon
Too bad I can't IP reset the time that I took to read this post.
What kind of comment is this? They are changing a vital part of AO and only the ones that's paying for it can get the advantages. I think it's ok to pay for new breeds, professions, items, playfields but not the fundamental gamemechanics.Originally posted by GoldBlock
Buuhuu to u all that dont want buy it, and want the advantages.. And buuhuu to all the 12 years kids, that cant get mommy to pay for the expansion
I have the money to pay for the expansion, but bla,bla,bla its unfair, so i think it dont want to buy it...lol
When they are changing the gamemechanics you are kind of forced to pay for it, lets say they are changing how many IP points you get each level, the specialization in a skill is the same thing, your will have better knowledge than other players even you have the same breed and profession - that isn't logical.
What I said, we are living in the same world - also Rubi-Ka. I agree with u there, but I don't agree with you about the gamemechanics.Originally posted by Thugdoom
Not living in a world. Paying to play a game.
For instance. Cars have different options. If you pay for the basic model of a car you don't get the options. Is it fair for a person that paid more for the car to have options that i don't have because i didn't pay as much.
YES IT IS
Its called capitalism. welcome to the planet
Lets say, you choose one breed and a specific profession in Shadowland. The normal AO player choose the same breed and profession as you. You have the same breed, profession and all but still are superior of the old AO player - why should it be like this? The skillsystem is your intelligence and your knowlegde.
I really don't get it, why should a Shadowland Player be more intelligent than and normal AO Player? The skillsystem is the character intelligence and an expansion pack shouldn't change this mechanic - everyone should be able to be equal at level 200 if they are the same breed and profession, regardless of what they have paid - items should make the difference and how they balance their IP Points.
Lets say next Expansion Pack will give players 10k more IP points each level, huh? If you think this should be implemented, please go back to kindergarten will you, AO and logical thinking is too advanced...
Same gamemechanic change will happen with Shadowland if they don't implement this in normal AO too...
Knowledge should be dependent on the profession, not what kind of Expansion Pack they have running. Knowlegde/skillsystem is the foundation of the game, without this it wouldn't be any AO.
