General Discussion - Bestiary is a complete waste of time - Форум

I play. Capture mobs. Have problem because spider is spider, bear is bear so... new map i capture each two - three each also try to capture all yellow and red. Some of them are kinda harder than i think - so net throw to soon mob break it and enrage. Just kill. Some are softer that they look - dpsing him so he be easier to chat - dies. Fcuk. Sometimes focused its about right, throw net by pressing button beast dies because game didnt recognise button been pressed - fcuk. Dont care about zoo. Went once looked at vendor recipes - nothing is interesting, back to game. Did one the first one because Einhar wanted fo quest now just playing. Bestiary is something extra that i dont have to use but i will in some occasions.	Сообщение de99ial#0161 7 мар. 2018 г., 10:15:01 Цитировать это сообщение
" Kiss_Me_Quick написал: Yes, objectively a waste of time. Every game has some sort of incentive to be played on. This game and it's content is all about progressing your character. Your "FUN" is locked behind content that needs progress. Your progress using Bestiary is close to non-existent compared to the rest of the game. If you would get all your items instantly on hour 1, you wouldn't enjoy the game. If you would have Bestiary level of effort x reward progress throughout the whole game, you wouldn't enjoy the game. This rhetoric of "das dae gaem doe am still haf fun" is flat out stupid. A game has to give you challenges and an incentive for it to be enjoyed. Bestiary provides no real incentive that is aligned with the game's challenges. You are trying to generalize YOUR definition of what a game needs into the word "objectively". If you can't see how wrong that is, or what a total lack of insight/empathy that is, I fear you're more of a troll than I thought. What a game needs for a non-competitive gamer, is to be fun. What YOU find fun and what I find fun can be totally different (and apparently is). But it ALL comes down to fun and enjoyment. You ARE proven wrong in the fact that I AM HAVING FUN, hence the league is NOT a waste of time. " Kiss_Me_Quick написал: You MAY like leveling super slow and you MAY have fun in act 3 at level 40 but it still is objectively a waste of time compared to your available options. No, it's not. It's a waste of time when we talk about efficiency and if your goal is to be fast/high level/beat Shaper and so on. But FAR from everyone has that goal. What is "objectively a waste of time" ALWAYS depend on your personal goal, hence: "waste of time" can NEVER be considered "objectively". Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Phrazz написал: Back in the days, PoE was a very slow game. Today, it's a very fast game and people try to "defend" that . "It's an ARPG, for Gods sake, this new expansion doesn't fit". Why? Is there a clause in some contract that says "ARPG has to be fast as fuck, with minimal interaction with the environment"? I can perfectly understand that some players don't like the league. It's allowed. But just say so. "I don't like it". Using the genre as a reason? Come on. You kill monsters. You craft. You progress. You farm. What exactly doesn't fit the genre? All the content is perfectly avoidable. You do not have to interact with anything. But for (a lot of) players that actually WANT to interact more with the environment instead of running around like chickens only picking up currency, this may be a good addition. Be glad for them. People use the term ARPG a lot when they just mean hack&slash ARPG. Hack&Slash is what it says, this league goes against the main property of a hack&slash ARPG. It's not really about the speed but more the tempo. And teh tempo is heavily disrupted by the core mechanic of the game, but at least you can skip it. Also it's just wording. For most people loving this genre, whatever they call it, this league doesn't fit. Trying to blame it on wording is not the best argument. For many it feels right, luckily, just not for many others. They just can't hit the sweet spot every time. And no I'm not a meta speed kid, I don't liek speed, I love tempo though ;)	Сообщение leto2626#2588 7 мар. 2018 г., 12:51:13 Цитировать это сообщение
