Game Design I'm Copying Nova.

As a person who has two really fuckin tanky classes (20k+hp max def shaman/ with poision at 24k) and a mage at 19.5k hp at 20k meteors and 70 agl, TCC is way to hard. the platforming stage is ass. Im not kidding. I have yet to go thru with a party and not have 1 or more players die. The wings section is actually broken en since it dosent tell you that the only way to reset the one min kicking timer is killing minibosses (yw) and even at the end there are little to no rewards rn. I feel like the CT expected the players to have the raid buffs from the beginning. With raid buffs too. They are not balanced well rn. As someone else sadi" IF you buff the player and also buff the mobs, its just normal fighting with bigger numbers. However if you buff the player and huck weaker mobs at them, so they feel the diffrence, then fight the boss and think 'wow this is really hard!' then they will see how strong the buffs actually are, and how tought the boss is" <<<<<this is a really good point and needs to be said more. Also I 1000% agree with this post. +1

 

Can you remember when there's important dialogue only above the heads of NPCs? I did my best to only include that for small extra things that shouldn't fill up the chat, if there's anything important only above nametags I'll fix that.

 

Can't remember the name of the quest but when you're with Doan to get your passport in the cinfras airbase. The father gives you the clue of where to go first. I only caught it because I turned around. I was looking at him thinking he'd point me in the right direction. It does look really nice though

 

I'm talking about the HoG ones specifically, since I want to make sure there isn't anything annoying for gameplay in it - I'll see if I can change that one also.

I've made the text for the Acquiring Credentials one show up in chat now, thanks for the feedback!

 

I believe it was with his "Don't let me get hit again" message with the kinda buggy traps. I thought I had infinite tries but sadly no.

Edit: This could have been an issue due to Wynntilis, but I'm not unsure because it's the only time I've noticed it.

 

Hm, that's weird - those should only show up in chat.

 

lmao better then the "rat rat rat rat rat rat" ones

 

Ok so what. Did TCC get easier or did we get better Bc it’s not as hard anymore

 

Everyone gets a free chicken pet, and using that one chicken pet does the exact same amount of damage as 5 Aledar carts. There is nothing you can buy on the store that can increase in any way the amount of damage that you do. I don't understand why you think this is pay-to-win.

how are shops pay-to-win? Anyone can sell stuff on the trade market anyways. The reason that shops are a champion-only feature is because otherwise all of the shop spaces would get taken instantly.

I'm starting to think there's something in your water making you accuse features of being pay-to-win.

 

Was talking about pet task, and not their damage. Which is locked behind a paid rank.

Tol runes at the TCC, Dungeon keys at the forgery, getting to plaster your niche goods right in a spot where you might need them helps them make more sales and lowers the competition they face. Considering you can't see the trademarket from there.

Implying I'm of a lower intelligence is quite rude, but I'll mostly ignore this slight

 

I don't see how the pet tasks are pay-to-win. Yes, they make things more convenient. But they don't give ranked players any sort of advantage over non ranked players.

Based on what you said about shops, it seems like you think that giving ranked players ANYTHING that normal players don't have is pay-to-win, that's not true. Neither shops nor pets give champions any sort of advantage in-game. Having a pet that can put stuff in your bank won't make it any easier to beat The Eye, having a shop that shows what you're selling on the trade market isn't going to give you any advantage in the game.

Pay to win is when the developers of a game sell things that make the game much easier, things that make it easier to win, leveling pets over lvl 20 doesn't do anything like that.

 

If you believe that "winning" is only counted by bosses being beaten then we don't really have anymore to talk about. I consider any advantage that can lead to winning being a part of p2w.

Example: Black Desert Online's premium outfits giving running speed/XP/SP-XP/Vision range/and other benefits.

The pet's task fall under this since if your lootrunning, you can just throw a stack of emeralds into your bank, etc etc. I believe it to be advantage you paid for.

Thanks for your thoughtful replies
