Media Thoughts On Upcoming Gameplay Features

________________________________

Also, humans tend to subconsciously like the RNG. So even if you say you hate it, that's not totally true

 

wtf is nrg in so dumb sorry

 

im assuming you meant rng basically luck

 

If you mean “like” as in a gambling addict likes slot machines, then yes.

In all seriousness, in some contexts RNG can add to a game. For instance, in Cuphead, since you have to retry many times on your first go to beat a boss, so having some of the boss’ attacks keeps the fight interesting and adds more depth to the boss.

Though MMOs are notorious for using RNG like creating a certain item tier *cough* mythics. It just makes the game more repetitive and grindy.

 

Please, no RNG. The admins have already thrown most of the RNG chances MASSIVELY out of range to the point you're 334 times more likely to get struck by lightning in your life than to find a mythic.

Making actual long content would be far preferable, instead of just throwing enough RNG in to stretch the game out to 2500 hours of gameplay.

 

Cuphead isnt exactly perfect about RNG either. Cala Maria and Beppi are known to be based off luck because you can land yourself in a situation where you simply have to take damage, though I dont consider the latter to be RNG because theres a warning for the rollercoaster coming, even if its a bit subtle. But the former? Yeah, you can position yourself so its less likely to get hit by the eels, but that doesnt change the fact that you can still take unpreventable damage. In the last phase, its a bit better because you can see the stun-projectile coming, but it still has a few issues.

Oh and theres a few other ones, like Djimmi’s cats being harder than his swords and treasure, Honeybottoms’ platforms, Baroness’ cupcake being harder than the other candy minions, etc.


In response to the actual thread, I’m not crazy about RNG, but I’m curious to see what exactly is being added. Mythics is one of the worst ways to do RNG, hopefully its not like that

 

If I had to guess, RNG will probably be associated with some new gameplay feature like fishing (just an estimate based off the fish piston teaser). You fish in X spot, you have a 85% chance to get Y Fish, 14.99% chance to get Z Fish.

When I think about it, RNG could have some positive benefits for the game as long as they're not rage-inducing. Random events that occur around the world (such as swarms) could make gameplay more interesting, although I don't know if that's defined as RNG.

 

I would think so.

 

Third... ed?

 

Oh yeah, fuck those cats too.

 

If they bring swarms back I think that would make up for RtD being cancelled

 

so that would leave a 0.01% chance to get Mythic Tier Fish

 

Don't understand all the hype around swarms, I don't think they really were that good

 

I didn't say it will _only_ contain RNG ._.
There are a few RNG aspects to it, but you can completely ignore those if you so wish.

 

Looks like people hate RNG so much they don't want to see it at all. Some people just don't understand that MMORPGs need to have some RNG aspects.

For all of those who say they don't like "any increasment of RNG in the game" I'd suggest playing chess. They don't have any RNG at all! Only pure skill.

 

So much hate against RNG, but it can be done well, and to be fair I trust jp to not do Mythics 2.0
It'd be cool if a crafting system was added!

 

god damn it not more rng

 

If I remember correctly they gave lots of xp, and maybe loot (don't know for certain about the loot so take that with a grain of salt). Besides that, it was also a fun event that anyone in the server could partake in, and made it feel like you were really a part of the Wynncraft story fighting against the armies of corruption.

But if you're looking at a purely from a "I'm just killing lots of mobs" perspective then yeah, it isn't gonna seem that good.

 

I don't think there was any particular loot increase, although I only participated in one or two before they were removed. But yeah, they were quite fun - although if they do come back, hopefully it's more than just mobs spawning inside a city at predetermined spots.

 

I always just kept dying to lag every time.
