Dev Discussion - Item Drops
What types of items and upgrades do you expect to drop from regular mobs? Do you feel good when regular mobs have a rare chance to drop powerful items?
It's THAT easy ... ... The World of Verra - can NOT function - without PvP. - right ? The Caravans, The Nodes and their Sieges, Piracy/Naval Battles on the Seas, how is all that supposed to function without PvP ?It's certainly an interesting question. One likely without an answer that will please everybody. I enjoyed reading through this thread. It's a conversation that comes up often, so there are plenty of Steven quotables to share here (of which some have made their way here!) My favorite is this: "...One of the defining elements of our world-building approach and being a PvX game is that PvE builds the world and PvP changes the world." - Steven elaborating on this here

For this game. At the end of the day it is an mmorpg so is important to allow massive PvP in which case it essential to create incentives to go all outLooping this comment into the thread; how do you feel expert and casual experience should play a factor in mass PvP?
Azherae;c-443790Read moreAlphaCala;c-443781Vaknar;c-443792I assume this question is being asked because of Asmond talked about it yesterday. I would say simply look at Classic WOW. Its easy to start for new players and gets more complex as you go. Retail WOW made it to hard to start as a new player. Theres a reason im playing Classic and not Retail WOW. Make the combat and play style complex while making the progession of the game simple and easy to understand. That way you wont scare away people 5 years into the game who havent played.Oh, is this a situation where we can watch/link an Asmongold video segment for context, then? Because if we can at least use whatever Asmon was using as the 'definition' of 'expert', we might get somewhere... hopefully I wasn't too far off in all my own stuff.Damokles;c-443777"Expert" is hard to define in my opinion.

"Expert" is hard to define in my opinion. I think that you need to at least dedicate 2-3 hours a day to get gud in any game though. ^^"Expert" can indeed be a subjective term. I think your example of what makes an expert to you is a good example of how we all can interpret this word differently!
