• • Is it possible to revamp EvE's skill-system into a third-person view game?

  • You could just say you couldn't change armor unless you were at an inn.  Or you could say changing armor takes 30 seconds per piece of armor... unless you're at an inn, which is kind of already built into wow with the 30 second cooldown on abilities of items with abilities, so you can go from archer to a tank but you can't do anything for 30 seconds.  Or you could take advantage of being able to change armor anywhere and assign weights to your stuff in inventory and have weight be a speed penalty that way part of your tactics could be the ability to change armor if needed but at the expense of speed.  Also maybe your gear could make you an industrial ship and your armor would just be lots of backpacks and pocket space and other armor that increases your speed so you could haul a lot but have paper thin armor, maybe that would be another welcome "class" on raids to haul loot and other peoples change of armor so they wouldn't be bogged down by the weight.

    If WoW wasn't such a success maybe the new MMO's would be willing to try this type of stuff.

• • Is it possible to revamp EvE's skill-system into a third-person view game?

  • There's not really any difference between putting armor on your ship and putting armor on your avatar in WoW, just that in Eve you can only do it in the station.

    When stuff like the Gnome Death ray has an ability tied into it (and pvp trinkets) the code is already there in WoW.  Now just eliminate all trained spells and instead make other items provide them, like your staff has a heal spell or fire spell, or a ring gives you a spell, or a dagger gives you backstab or a 2H mace gives you overpower.   Now you got yourself a classless system fantasy avatar game that works very similar to EVE.

• • Warcraft: again more players on line

  • I tried 4 boxing once so I have 4 accounts. I think I may just get scrolls of resurrection once every 23 days so I can play for free 10 out of every 23 days.  No idea why I'd want to though I hate TBC, I leveled 15 levels above 60 on two accounts and 6 new characters to 42 since the expansion so obviously I prefer the older content, only one of those 6 leveled to 20 in the ghostlands since that zone sucks as hard as the rest of TBC.

• • Blizzard wins one

  • Well I guess that means I'm not going to buy boxes anymore since I'm not really buying anything.

    The force is strong with this one....

     

    Anyway, I played WoW since 1 week after release and enjoyed every moment of it up until the dailies came out.  After grinding so many dailies until my eyes bled, I decided that it was time to look for something else.  I miss my ingame friends, but resubbing is not worth it for me. 

    Eventually WoW will go by the wayside, long time from now probably, but still it will happen.  Carthage fell, Rome fell, it took years but it did happen.  WoW is in decline in my opinion, they will get some people back with the expansion, but after all is said and done, they will realize that it is just the same old thing, new continent, new levels and new spells. 

    The standard MMO formula needs a boost, I cannot think of any games coming soon that may be that boost, but I sit by waiting patiently.  Until then I will be in the World of Telon.

     

     

     

    Man if you ever wanted justification in calling a game crack it's dailies.  Oh crap I have to work in 1 hour and I have to squeeze my dailies in I hope not too late to work.  Or you're about to go to bed and you're like oh nuts I forgot to do my dailies, then you go to bed a couple hours later.  Only other time I ever brought this up I was made fun of but really what is an addiction, something you have to do at certain intervals of time usually at the detriment of your health or work or something like that.
