  3. Well for one time event replay maybe you can have something like a time rift. Great events leave an imprint on the essence (time stream) and so create these rifts or something.

    I'm almost against seasonal stuff as well but at least I know it's still there every now and then.

  4. Yeah, I don't see alpha 2 coming till Spring of next year. They have a ton of stuff to do, BUT we don't know how much other stuff they already have waiting in the wings. I'm guessing/hoping it's a lot. I mean its been years they've had to work on stuff and Margaret has stated they have plenty of stuff they can't show us or choose not too just because they don't want other people stealing their ideas….Great vid as always…have to temper and shut down the scope creep.

  5. Mmmm.. you say you don't like one time event, though node system is basically a whole "one time event" system. It's even more than that, it's a "one time event on one server". If people don't like not being able to see everything, they are not going to like AoC… since the node developpement on their server will not be the same as on the others. Maybe with time they'll experience everything by playing multiple servers or destroying and rebuilding nodes on their server, but it's unlikely. People are literally not going to be able to experience some dungeon because one of the node linked to that dungeon never level up on their server. At least that's how I understood it ?

    One time event can be exceptionnal, even surprise one time event. And yeah, some people are going to miss it… but in the age of streaming and video content, you never really totally miss something, you can always watch it because someone is going to record it.
    I participated in one time event on some mmos… and I missed some one time event aswell… That's one of the beauty of a persistent mmo world : it continues to live while you are not there.

    Yes, I unlogged of dark age of camelot and relogged the next day and all the frontier had changed, there had been a massive attack while I was away, and that's ok.

    Now for the 'rewards' part… I can't really speak much of it since I never cared for nor have I understand why people care about them… cosmetics ? mounts ? achievements ? I just don't understand their appeal. I just don't want 50 people roaming the land with unbeatable gear because they had the chance to be logged on at the random right moment

  7. I like Ken's idea better. I like exploring and learning the game for myself. I like figuring out the most efficient path to gather herbs or how to get to a boss. In game automated systems take away from that. However being able to mark things on my map sounds great, perhaps I could even sell those maps.

  9. I liked the root religion approach. However this WILL turn off all off my friends, but me. I am gonna be the friendly neighbourhood Vek pope/bishop. I need clarification on what is the mayor and what is a temple priest. My friends are even reluctant to settle in a Divine Node.

    Why should one settle in a divine node? It will become the late game equivalent to Mecca, Constantinopel or Rome/Vatican. Why? Because it is the PvE node with a humongus catacomb. "Everybody" will rush to one off the other nodes. Everybody wants an AH, easy acsess to proffesion recipes or do some PvP/Bounty Hunting.

    This means Divine nodes [houses] are easy pickings if you get in early.

    In addition, you could influence what religion you believe should have influence over your world, a peaceful religion or…

    Agnostiscism or Atheism should NOT be encouraged.

  10. I'm really hoping the different subclasses in AoC will play noticeably different from one another.. I get the augments will have some functionality changes. But I really hope that, for example, a Soulbow will play noticeably different from a Strider, and a Falconer, as far as skill priorities, pace, class mechanics etc. I know this is hard to achieve with 8 variations of the same class, but I'd really like to see them pull something closer to WoW's specializations rather than just some passive utility changes (i.e. passive healing on some skills, etc)

  11. So your issue is not that much with One time events but exclusive rewards tied to those events.

    A One time event where there's no item/title or whatever reward tied to it wouldn't be a problem for you right ?
    For exemple, a One time event that would force the whole server to engage in PVP on the whole map and could cause a redistribution of ressources wouldn't be so much of a problem since it wouldn't be giving away exclusive items/titles or anything, it would just be a one time experience for the whole server that wouldn't create exclusivity in the sense of rewards.

  13. i like the idea of adding icons to your own map, makes exploration and immersion in the world better. I had the same idea recently as well 🙂 One time events feels like wasted efforts but rare events are cool. Saying not having a religion having advantages literally makes no sense, it's obviously an opt-in to content.

  15. AoC will feature sieges towards cities so aren't they kinda like one time events? Maybe they will have the same mindset towards occasional one time events, meaning that they will have a week long notice about it before it happens. Randomly popping one timers would be bad.

  18. Your scout idea i think they said libraries will also play a part like that. Also they said they were considering letting us place our own icons on the map. Hypu. Also the religion stuff, you should read the wiki. Alot of the stuff you said you dont think they will do is stuff they said they plan to do

  19. Well, now they can re-earn said achievements in another game, starting over completely. I think wow is doomed as it is so old, so much content gone, so much story and material, gear etc gone. Here you have a chance to start over, be there from the very beginning.

  21. I personally like the idea of earning exclusive items through events. To me there's nothing like coming across someone with a sick limited edition item and just knowing that they've been around for a long time. Also I say this as someone who is by no means a casual player when it comes to mmos. While I might be a little bummed knowing I can no longer get something I think what it brings to the world/ server is 10 times more important. That's just my opinion though.

  23. The issue with one time events to me is the exclusivity of the rewards like you said. What would be a great idea instead of making them one time events, make it a rare time event that happens out of the blue once every 5-8 months or more. That way having these rewards is like having a temporary badge for participation and boasting rights during the time gap of each event all while granting the opportunity and inspiration for the other players to obtain these rewards for themselves.

  24. fomo really is a big deal to a lot of people. also i hope that aoc will be fairly casual friendly because otherwise it will be doomed to be a super niche game.

  25. Nice Comment of Creation Video Narc.
    We can only hope that…. Intrepid decide to cut 80% of the bloated game ideas they have so that this game actually releases.
    Things I would cut include…
    * PvP
    * Automatic City Wide Nodes
    * Extra Classes
    * 80% of the Map
    * Ships
    * Underworld

    Now this is an extreme to really piss people off but I have an explanation for each

    * PvP – Add Traitor Mecanic that lets a few people PK at any given time

    * Automatic City Wide Nodes – Add leveling system to a city that let people add and upgrade specific buildings/roads/walls

    * Extra Classes – Class Combinations are needlessly complicated and can be added years later

    * 80% of the Map – Map is way too big and will feel empty or broken most of the time if they let this go

    * Ships – BDO sets the best example on how to wait to add ships

    * Underworld – This is literally an epic expansion idea
