Warhammers major problem, the players.

2008-11-20 21:45:36 by syncaine in Hardcore Casual
 
...players are simply not playing it correctly Now before you go and post a dont blame the players comment, relax and keep reading. On paper, everything in WAR works. In execution, each piece also works on its own. Scenarios are a noticeable improvement over WoW battlegrounds, PQs are a clever new way to implement PvE, and RvR is a ton of fun...

Is it the players fault this time?

2008-10-24 18:03:54 by Keen in Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog
 
...players, coming together to do battle against the enemy realm NOT just for the sake of doing battle but for a purpose. RvR, how I see it, does not exist.

Should MMO players be able to freely choose the appearence of their characters, or should they have to earn it?

2008-09-03 07:29:00 by Hektor in MMOdus Operandi
 
...players wear ANY armour in the 'appearence' slots, because you can't have a Warrior who looks like a mage. Not only does it makes no sense that someone's able to hide plate armour under cloth robes, but it's game unbalancing in PvP. When I was playing my WoW rogue, I would deal with a Warrior and a Mage differently in the battlegrounds...

...players that have had the most direct impact on the game are, of course, the people actually running it. Blizzard Entertainment's jump from RTS developer to MMOG powerhouse seems like a no-brainer in retrospect, thanks largely to the people behind the project. Rob Pardo , for example, was a Designer on the Warcraft II , StarCraft , and Diablo...

Do the most active players shape the opinion of the rest?

2008-01-29 08:12:55 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...players matter because they influence who buys and plays the game. The players who spend the most time in the game, the raiders, are supposedly also the guild leaders, the bloggers, the forum commenters, and so on. The theory is that if Blizzard wouldn't cater towards them, wouldn't spend more development time on their need than their number...
