Wasn’t the original version of Toto-Rak from 1.0 open world? Like it was really just a place for old school MMO monster grinding treadmill? Could swear that was part of why even in the old map, there were pathways that seemed like they went somewhere but a bit of rubble would block it off from going further.

Not to say that 1.0 didn't have open world "dungeons" for grinding spots, just that Toto-Rak wasn't one of them.

 That's the original Toto-rak added in patch 1.18. You had a list of objectives for some particular loot, though the only thing you HAD to do was collect the appropriate protocells to open the way to one of the bosses. All of them were a giant diremite like Graffias (and named for a star in the Scorpius constellation). 2.0's Toto-rak blocked off portions of the map (though you could still find the remains of some of the chests).

Volkova III posted:The same way you pronounce it when it's spelled "harbor". Color is colour, endeavor is endeavour. Not complicated. My dad's from England, made some business trips there over the years, and as a result a decent number of the sci-fi/fantasy books in his collection were regional editions. I happily learned to read from those books without knowing it was a thing. One time in early elementary school I wrote the word armor and sat there staring at it. I knew it was correct, but I also knew there should be a u in there. Just quietly having an existential crisis in the middle of a spelling test. It was something like 5 years later that I learned about them properly, I'd kept quiet that whole time thinking there was something wrong with me. I mean, there is, but not that.

New toto is pleasant but has a 'map modder found the tilesets' vibe to it, if that's understandable.

I do sorta wish we had dungeons in the fashion of 1.x totorak/aurum vale/dzemael as an optional content pillar like deep dungeon and variants. Neither really scratches the itch I have - variants come close but I'm not a big fan of how they lock you into a route after making a choice.

If they gave you the whole place to play around in and intersecting paths, but randomized the objectives, that might work. The issue with old-time MMO dungeon design is still visible in today's WoW, where people will find any weird little glitch in the level geometry to try and speedrun it and force everyone into doing that.

This... isn't terribly relevant to the overall conversation at hand...

Bruceski posted:Yeah, but it's fun. True! I've been told that I pronounce either and neither in a more UK fashion despite being born and raised in America my whole life. I use an I sound rather than E. I have no idea why I do this other than it just feels right to me. Honestly not sure which region that's actually appropriate to, honestly. I was homeschooled my entire life so I still mispronounce a lot of words just because I'd only ever read them and not heard them used. I'm also pleasantly inebriated, which is lending itself to this rambling mess

super sweet best pal posted:The gimmick of not having an AoE callout was great. Taught players the importance of reading the castbar. They actually do this before Coincounter with the Chimera in Cutter's Cry, and it's arguably a more thorough tutorial since it has on-screen text prompts and visible post-cast effects that give you an approximate idea of where to stand the next time it goes off. I think giving him telegraphs was probably for the best for the sole reason that they reuse that cyclops model and its attacks a lot, and only one or two of them actually have end-of-cast telegraphs, so softballing it with the first one players encounter is ideal.
