Amazon fresh delivers to my area now, no more going to the grocery store for me.

I'm just being a sourpuss because Imperian is the kind of game I can play (in a fashion) while working, that's something that interests me, but team combat in a MUD makes me want to slam my head on the wall. So much spam. Maybe I should go back to…

Really, no one uses nightmare so it could be taken out, and maybe stupidity could be disabled in retardation. This game could still benefit from things that a player can lose control over but I guess it's not going to happen.

That's weird cause in the weeks I've been back, I've only seen an arena spar once every couple days and the only duels I even know of were the ones with me in them. The 1v1 game may not be very appealing.

Having to choose between curing and attacking within a 2-second window is why those things would get people killed...Well OK guys, I trust that you are on top of this and that Imperian will have a 1v1 game again some time withi…I guess I'm done, I haven't got a lot else to say. If you can't even conceive of a way to make 1v1 appealing to yourself, don't stand in the way of people who would make 1v1 work for some of us.I realize how classleads work, that's why I made this thread. I'm pointing out how we need RNG and other such factors to make 1v1 work, instead of having a linear pay-to-win game, and you guys are like "we will vote down your ideas" combined with "…I'm totally right to say that if this game were so good, the people in here defending its current form would probably do 1v1 combat.(Quote) I've been fighting and testing things a lot, these personal attacks are just a crutch for people who don't want to put forward any ideas of their own because they haven't got any.Right, and you think that a game doesn't need to have people playing it to be good.If you're such a big proponent of 1v1, and think it can be done under the current model, why don't you post up some ideas instead of making pers…The problem is that spammy walls of text was never a good medium for a team combat game, but now IRE is stuck with it because people who didn't like randomness, timers, fundamental input changes like aeon and retardation, they have pretty much kille…(Quote) So you have no idea, maybe you don't even expect or want to see 1v1 combat in Imperian.Einstein quote: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a difference result.What are you going to do to make linear 1v1 interesting and have replayability? Make Hunter even more complicated? Make some…
(Quote) So how would you make a good 1v1 game? The linear model has failed in 1v1. There are less people doing 1v1 now than there used to be, despite the lack of a need for a system.Jeremy doesn't need to ma…Just to point out the obvious, if combat in Imperian was so great, there should be people who do 1v1 combat regularly just for the enjoyment that they get out of 1v1 combat.There used to be people like that, there aren't anymor…(Quote) Nice try but you're obviously conflating reflex with reaction, they aren't the same thing. The only reason to have a unique reaction in Imperian currently is if you didn't manage your facts well.People wer…I know it's not exclusively a PvP game, but that was the original intent behind Imperian, that it would be more PvP-oriented than other IRE games.I think the player base has shrunk because a fighter used to be someone who stand…Personally I never needed an admin to start an event for me and a lot of people used to play for the PvP. Imperian was supposed to be the PvP mud. I read a manga some days ago where the main character is a manga writer, he keeps getting letters fr…Imperian has clearly been losing players and the spreadsheet scions are all like, it's not the fault of our policies, the game has been getting better, let's nerf limb damage and take out random afflictions, obviously those people all quit because w…(Quote) In real life we sometimes ascribe randomness to things which aren't random. "I think the Lakers have a 70% chance to win" or "I think this stock has a 70% chance to go up in value." In reality of course, it's not a 70% chance b…OK so...Let's imagine we're playing chess and you take someone's piece. Because they spent more money than you, they can reverse it, instead of them losing their piece, you lose your piece.(Quote) Exactly. Now I will blow your mind: without any random factors, there will always be a single best taint modifier to use on a specific target at a specific time. Now imagine if instead of hasten for 40% and instant for 60%, yo…(Quote) Life has taught me that luck is, quite often, a skill.

Juran's proposed solution is makes no sense unless he wants to be able to tank limb damage and limb damage is not a stronger mechanic than taint generation.Something no one has r…Just to clear the water since Ahkan has released enough ink by now:1. Taint doesn't diminish over time unless it's being used or the timer clears.2. No one sits at 100% taint without using it unless they have a goo…(Quote) And Juran's proposed solution would be useless against your definition of kiting, since the person is right there and can hit them when they see them starting the channeled healing effect, which would presumably stop that skill …If there's a non-limb damage class that can't counter kiting (summoner not being such a class) then that class could receive an upgrade to its mobility game without having to change something that isn't broken.
