Originally posted by Manmadegod I mean seriously, the puzzle answers unless randomized and even then the answers will be found online at gaming sites... Since they will be found there, the time is more or less wasted for an effect that would be better spent - fine tuning skills, adding other content of varying types that wont get poo'd on by online gaming site walkthroughs or forums... Giving someone tactics is one thing like how to fight a boss, but the players that get that information still have to execute the kill.... That content is better than a puzzle that will be outdated for everyone everywhere when a single person posts the answer to the puzzle... Then all the time spent on the puzzles of this game will be for nothing.... You don't have to execute puzzles, if you have the answers, you have the answers.... I think most people (including myself) would actually consider the solution to the various puzzles spoilers. It's part of the storyline and gameplay experience. Won't it give you much more feel of accomplishment if you solve it yourself?

Originally posted by Ammon777 Erm... Actually, after thinking about it all day today... Yeah, I think I way over-reacted. Puzzles would be okey with me, just as long as it leads to PvP (which interviews tell it will). Sometimes I go a little overboard, lol. I have high hopes for this game and something like this kinda hit me off-guard. But its all good. Stargate Worlds will still PWN. Best. Mood Swing. Everrrrrr.

Yeah, I don't really see the problem with Puzzles. There were plenty of Puzzles in the show, and it'll be different than the normal "Go to point A to Pick up Object B, and then go to Point C to kill NPC D" quests/instances we're always stuck with. I'd love to have puzzles/minigames used to open locked doors or get that Goa'uld device to work.

Originally posted by Ammon777 http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/7816 OMFG !!! Freaking puzzles? I HATE PUZZLES IN GAMES. I was gonna try this game Stargate Worlds because its an awesome show series; but as it stands, I just dont enjoy puzzles in my games. It shows that they really dont have much content in the game if they have to resort to gay puzzles. No thanks, I'm not buying it. Role-playing games dont really need puzzles because they should be immersive in other ways. Ugly puzzles (especially when their difficulty gets worse as you progress) blocking enterance to a zone or (especially) an ability, frankly, annoy the fuck out of me. No thanks. I will not be buying Stargate Worlds now, unfortunately. There are plenty of other MMORPG options that dont have gay puzzles that take the place of lack of content. Upcoming games like, say, Darkfall, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Unleash the Fury, to name a few... This actually makes me pretty angry. Seriously, I do not see much of an audience for content-unlocking puzzles in the MMO crowd. Players want fun, not frustration. Bad move for Stargate Worlds, IMO. I have written them off my list of games to buy, permanently. Dude, Just because puzzles are too hard for your tiny little brain doesnt mean that the rest of us wouldnt like a challange in a game! I mean come on some of the greatest games have puzzles in them Zelda(made the puzzles so popular), All of the damd Resident Evils have puzzles, I bet you play that now dont you!

Someone should of chucked water on your head. i mean how dim are you? Look at life if you hated puzzles soo much then, you should of really killed yourself along time ago. If you think what is happening now is not a puzzle, then you are really borderlining on either joking around or complete stupidtiy. Sorry, it might be harsh, but is the best i could say instead of dancing around the bush.

Just one more thing that excites me about this game. Sure, you can focus on combat and building your character if you want, but having puzzles to solve if you choose is a great feature. I hope they are Zelda-like puzzles.

I see puzzles, if well-implemented, as a welcome addition to gameplay. What bothers me about this article is that the impression I got from Ybarra's earlier comments in the interview suggest that combat will be heavily downplayed in comparison to other MMOs.

If the puzzles were done well i think it would do well in a mmorpg, since if you play real rpgs they have puzzles in and it works well... why cant a mmorpg be the same hmm. :P

I don't see an issue, as some say, as long as they are implimented correctly there shouldn't be a problem. I mean a little challenge to keep your mind sharp is not a bad thing. Heaven forbid we should use our brains heh So I say good for them for placing puzzles. Most RPG games you would see quests and most of them are like puzzles. I think it's a good thing. It's a lot more fun then kill kill kill all the time. Sure Action rocks in a game, but you need a little more than just killing a person or animal in a game.

If it is absolutely unthinkable that a MMO will have you using your brains dont play it. Simple as that. And stop referring to Puzzles as gay. I mean come on. You create a topic and the least you can do is try to act a little credible instead of a little child.

Originally posted by Ammon777 Originally posted by Drefel Of course not, It may hurt our brain cells and you know how precious those are. We shouldn't tax them, who knows they might break! Hey, if you wanna play this sort of game, go play Puzzle Pirates. I dont like Puzzle Pirates. I say again, they shouldnt pollute Stargate Worlds with gay puzzles. Stargate SG-1 is about action. And also about fixing problems in-game. Not stupid puzzles. You fanboys are impossible to reason with. You are blind, dumb idiots that cant think for themselves. Stargate SG-1 team fixed things with other content elements. They didnt do stupid cross-word puzzles to save Earth. They actually did stuff within the gameworld. However, now this reveals that they cant make a simulated world so they wanna make it into Puzzle Pirates. I dont care what you think, I know I wont try it until they have toned down the puzzle elements. If you want to spend two hours on an extremely intricate puzzle that unlocks a high-end skill-set or area, then thats YOUR PROBLEM. I dont want to. Its NOT FUN to me. I would rather PK you while you solve your little puzzle. To me, thats fun. To you, maybe you like to prove to yourself how smart you are. I dont need puzzles to tell me how smart I am, and I also dont think puzzles are fun. Psssh. Basically, I think that they will do some puzzles like in "Davinci's Code" (which ware cool) and also do some others like in "A Tale In the Desert III" (also very cool). If it does involve puzzles, than ATITD is something they should think of (at least the leveling system). Hopefully it will be a combination of the two mention above ;))

I read the article and all I have to say is thank goodness they are going this route. I'd love to see an mmorpg that had good puzzles. It will be even better if they are group puzzles. I can't wait for SGW!

We must be cautious.	6/12/07 5:43:59 AM#37 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Ammon, the reason these guys aren't taking your post seriously is because of the comments like "Because of this i am no longer buying this game!" Thats a pretty immature and blatant statement in its own. You don't like one aspect, so you grill the entire game to the back shelf? Come on now. These puzzles probably won't be like those you find online that are extremely difficult. You won't walk up to some alien tomb and have to play Sudoku for an hour just to get in. They'll be simple puzzles anyone can do with little frustration to add some uniqueness to the game. Think of it like gathering keys to a high level dungeon. Its a task, but it adds to the game and you'll do it to get the 'phat lewt' waiting beyond. Trust me, its not as bad as you think... err won't be. Trust me.

Very negative post I just don't understand the approach by the OP doesn't acheive much. I think I will wait a while to pass judgement... This could be so much fun the scope for variety may kill this game if it isn't managed well... Thats my worry. Not going off on a bender regarding Puzzles.... ________________________________________________________ SWTOR and COS games that could deliver !!
Phaz3 Novice Member Joined: 6/19/07 Posts: 3	6/19/07 11:18:04 AM#39 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Seriously thinking, this puzzle-thing worries me a bit. I can see some really nice applications for it, like when crafting, your skill in some realtime puzzle would determine the quality of the item somewhat. That would be superb. On the other hand, in the missions, if the puzzles are somewhat stagnant and so, the internet will be flooded with the answers - not good. The puzzles need to be integrated to the game very seamlessly and with high quality. Im sincerely hoping they can do that. Sincerely.
