Player "skill" does not equal "hand-eye coordination"

Tadaaaaaaa.You are 100% correct sir.I've been preaching that for years.Good to see someone else bringing this out,i get tired of arguing with people over this.I just mentioned in one of my recent posts how i prefer games that challenge the mental aspect.Nowadays with so many players looking for ultimate machines and super high bandwidth,we need more strategy and tactics in our battle systems,otherwise it's a battle of connection/stability.You might be surprised at the lengths players have been going to overcome there lack of skills. MMo's IMO are lacking in skills ,well frankly there was very little reason to be skillfull with no PvP.I touched on it before,that i felt FFXI battle system lends to the most skilled fighting of any PVE i have ever tested.There were ideas in strategy that left myself and others saying"WOW"didn't know that could be done that way. What's the common skill in PVE's right now?pretty much simple stuff,like are they aggro or are they not.Do they cast magic or are they melee type mob?So the SKILL is pretty much thought based albeit not much thought needed to determine the strategy.The skills in using your class of player are limited as well.They try to incorporate slice/slash/crush/stab into the damage type.Spells are burn/freeze/blow/earthly[root].All this again is just a simple thought based strat used in fighting the mob. The game would have to be PVP and FPS type to really be a skillfull game.The terrain would have to be utilized into the fold as well.Players should have to perform some sorta overall skill challenge each time they want to upgrade there player.Group leadership skills are also a very big factor in success.Youve got 5 melee and no healer,a great leader might be able to bring about sucess.There really is only 2 skills, those of the brain and the hand eye skill[harware and setup can really aid here]using a mouse setting of 8/9 would be dumb if you need a steady hand for snipering...just an example. |
