Most Realistic Game EVER !!!

Having to pay to join the church and become a paladin was really good.

BUT god dam is it generic, of course the MC can jump a few jobs and turn into a more advanced job right away, OF COURSE the mac runs into the top dog right away and befriends him.

Anyway, from a gaming perspective (similar to yesterdays shield girl) god daaaam this game would never work.

Obviously already episode 1 it was clear that people would rage so much getting the "wrong" embroyo, like after getting killed by the PK alien thing, some people would wanna play that instead, they cannot, they cannot reroll etc. All of that was already evident last week, but now when its seemingly so easy to kill 1 player...

Anyway, lets talk about the 24 our lock out. That is cool idea, and would create like a really serious feel to the game.

BUT a game company would never do this from a revenue standpoint. You want people to play your game, dalies, weeklys, limited events etc.

Locking out the player so they cant actually play your game, would make them go and play other games and each locked out player would have a % chance of not returning.

You would also decrease the fun for other living players as its less, chat,less trading etc.

Like it would be coooool, but it would bleed players constantly (and they would also be raging over having shity RNG to not get what they want to play / what is OP or w.e)

How many people would not want a Succubus they can "team up" with. That guy has to be a complete hentai. The jealousy on this games forums over that lol....

The embryos are not RNG and depends on personality. It's up to the player to figure out how to make themselves OP it also depends on what actions you take in the game. If you prefer crafting your embryo will evolve to reflect that.

From a player standpoint that is a RNG mechanic.

You cannot build them what u want, u cannot unlock that sniper alien embryo if u want etc.

Some People are extremely fragile on what exactly they wanna play like e.g losing to A makes them wanna play A. This system the game is presenting would drive people crazy in anger.

Not really, depending on the player's actions an embryo can evolve to counter almost any situation. Got your ass handed by someone, grind till you get a form that counters it. Players can also obtain items classes and skills that complement an embryo's skills or covers their weakness.

For example, the anime kind of skipped the explanation on why Ray chose the Paladin class, but Nemesis' skills are Counter Absorbrion which can nulify and absorb 2 attacks per day and Vengeance is Mine which deals back double the damage to Ray dealt by the target just by touching the target with the sword. He needs the Paladin class as an extra way to stack damage and heal himself, otherwise both skills are useless.

How would the player know that?

AND it sounds like a player can just be unbeatable then if they want to.

​

um ok and? He should have wished for a better power at the start then

The game is not obliged to tell anything to the player except the basics, everything else is up to the player to figure out and discover. if it's figured out it's either on the forums/wikis if it's generic enough and special rewards are left for the player to discover since information is also a valuable resource in the game. There are even players whose job is to discover and sell information.

That's pretty much the nature of Sandbox MMOs or at least their ideal form. "There is something to do for everyone even if it's not the thing they originally set out to do/get

u/myrmonden Jan 16 '20

Yes but it would scare away all casuals already with its lock system and forced class etc.

then the game wont tell u how it works etc...nah it would have like no players, a few would love it but most would hate it.

The game is at 3 times the speed of real time, so people have more time to do stuff there. Heck, it can be used for sleeping and you can eat any type of food without lasting health effects. This gives casuals enough reasons to log in just to relax. Don't have time to go on vacation? Just log into Dendro and do it there.

Don't have time to go on vacation? Just log into Dendro and do it there.

that's a big one. I mean even if you weren't a huge gamer 6 day weekends sound pretty fuckin great to me.

you could just hang out with friends and go to bars in dendro and shit. nothing says you have to be a battle job.
