The Titanic posted:It's not "I want to do stupid, mundane things in a video game." Otherwise they would go nuts for a Tower of Babel puzzle with physics or something silly. It's "I want to do stupid, mundane tasks and be appreciated for it." This is a good post, but I want to point out that absolutely no one appreciates the low-level scrub who's reducing the city's rat population My experience is mainly with MUDs, so it might be different in your Worlds of Warcraft or your Final Fantasies or whatever

For example in the Darksun-themed Armageddon MUD you could get OOC accolades for playing a filthy, diseased scavenger well, even while IC the fancy nobels spit on you. I doubt RP MMOs will ever happen though.

Facebook Aunt posted:It's not just space. Illfonic's failed lovecraftian RPG Revival had similar things. Which was even more hilarious, because to be lovecraftian it was supposed to be a low magic medieval-ish setting. So people were sperging about things like 'will bathing or not bathing have an in game effect?' so once a week your character would need to go wash to avoid a stinky status effect. Or "if you have a horse and stable, will you have to shovel out the manure to keep your pretty pretty pony happy and healthy?" So that some people could RP being a freelance stable boy or something who would muck out rich people's stalls for them. And guess who is in the comments defending away: Lethality. http://massivelyop.com/2016/03/24/revivals-development-has-been-indefinitely-suspended/

Well in the MUD where I was a low-level scrub reducing the city's rat population, roleplay was mandatory. Also the only worthwhile attack my character had was his poisonous bite. I carried around a blackjack of ale and took a big swig after every kill: "Gets the taste out of my mouth." But long story short, I made no friends among the noble poopsockers I guess I could have eventually leveled up enough to graduate from ratcatching, but it turns out that roleplaying as an untouchable isn't really much fun

The Titanic posted:To most people this is boring poo poo, but to them it's literally the most important parts of the game. To me it seems to defeat the purpose of escapism if you're escaping into the exact same nightmare you're trying to get away from. If the point of fantasy is to give into imagination to let anything happen, it seems a terrible waste of effort if all you can imagine is the same dull grind you experience every day -- except you are now in Maybe I'm the one with the lack of imagination

I wonder how many would play as the silent lone-wolf that plays by their own rules? I bet that's a rare character archetype. Re: people insisting on boring poo poo - I'm pretty sure the reason some people want this is because of their magic 'immersion' (because waiting 15 minutes for a cargo ship to be loaded/unloaded is SO REALISTIC). I guarantee you that even the most stoic supporter of this will be sick of it after waiting 15 minutes for their cargo to be unloaded for the 3957th time, though.

It's just Star Citizen fans are so hosed in the brain that if God Emperor Roberts told them that they should abandon food and subsist on eating their own faeces, they'd get straight to working out the best way to harvest their new diet. It's pretty much a "Chris said it, so it's real/true/worth it/the best thing ever!" thing.

DarkRefreshment posted:I will concede the point that Chris may not be a liar IF we acknowledge, as with the 3.0 by the end of 2016, he is incompetent. If you see the laundry list of all the poo poo that has to be done to get 3.0 even 50% out, there is no way that an intelligent game designer, nay head of the company, could look at that and say "Yep a month or so now looks legit". Something has to explain the gross misses of dates and deliverables. Being a month or two off; sure I'll accept that. Stating incorrect dates over and over again with the knowledge that he has to have of where things are? Give me a break. whynotboth.gif Incompetence and lying are inextricably bound together in my experience. The incompetent will _always_ lie to cover mistakes.

Then again he appears to have a project management style that is completely disconnected from reality. Its because its fake and meant to appeal to goondom [/quote] It's not really fake it's just the Jennison letter attributed to different people. I.e. even if it's not technically true (if these things weren't actually said by insiders) it's still functionally true because its not saying anything that wasn't said in the Jennison letter and there's no reason to doubt anything in the letter isn't true.

The Titanic posted:On the topic of mundane tasks.. I'm with you 95% but I think the escapism aspect is why some of them want mundane tasks and don't care if they're appreciated for it. Some mundanity adds to the realism which adds to the escapism. And there's also people that like having some kind of busy work to do when they feel like logging in and doing something but don't feel like dragon slaying or whatever. Stuff like baking in EQ1 and decorating your house in every MMO would fall into these categories.

With all these bombers and stealth bombers being sold at a much larger amount than capital ships, aren't all those special cap pilots in for a paddling? Obviously I've taken the liberty to assume that the game is coming out. But I wonder if any of the Capital Whales know they are really hosed since there are going to be a shitload more bombers than caps when the game starts.

We are an initiated group here though. I seriously doubt that if a random gamer stumbled onto (or just heard about and went to RSI's website) Star Citizen they would pickup on even a fraction of the red flags we all take as a given.
