Re: How to get ROR population up.

I am a relatively new player, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. That said, a wipe is an amazing idea. That is how a lot of other online RPGs maintain their players. Path of Exile and Diable 3 are great examples. It also worked extremely well for the Shadowbane emulators. The options are keep...

Thanks. These are clearly not my ideas though. I picked it up from the greatest game developer of all time - Chris Wilson.

Re: New Player Shaman vs. Zealot

Yeah, Shamans are terrible healers. Try reading what you quoted, and then look at that image you posted again, and see if you can figure out what the issue is. I'll give you a hint: using a damage spell to splash heal large groups of people isn't "only healing." Guess you are right.. If w...

Re: The alienation of solo/pug/casual players and it's unintended side-effects

or maybe buff dps tanks? less tanky more damage? There is already a tactic for this. I am kind of new, but my understanding is that DPS tanks taking this tactic will get laughed out of a warband. The trade off just isn't there. It dents your armor and resistances too much to make the 15 percent dam...

Re: The alienation of solo/pug/casual players and it's unintended side-effects

I will post more tomorrow, but I appreciate your detailed response. I am fine with you shitting on the flighty hype beasts type of casuals. That I get. I am less thrilled about devs shitting on dudes who don't want to spend all night listening to necks beards on the spectrum babble on discord.

No, you learn to play newb!

Being serious..... It's not about learning to play, but rather barriers to entry. If you can't understand that, I am not wasting my time anymore.

Re: The alienation of solo/pug/casual players and it's unintended side-effects

This thread has flailed wildly off topic, you guys keep getting baited by the same troll when he makes new accounts too. Please stick to why casual players are bad and shouldn't be listened to as the topic title indicates. I suspect this comment is tongue in cheek, but it's not a good look coming f...

Re: The alienation of solo/pug/casual players and it's unintended side-effects

Removing exp scrolls would mean higher RR players would level out of mid tier scenario at a normal pace, and there would a lot less of what you see in my screenshot. I know you can't perfectly balance the game, but you can maybe use a little bit of lube before railing us casuals. Right now you have ...

Re: The alienation of solo/pug/casual players and it's unintended side-effects

You can get through the tier one scenarios in a day. You could have like 5 hours under your belt when you hit tier 2 scenarios and run into something like this. No one needs to be doing this **** in toddler scenarios for weeks on end (he has). Exp scrolls need to go. I am not looking to get into an ...
