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!

Dev Discussion - Time Dedication
How much time do you think someone should invest in order to become an expert at an MMORPG? What are the differences between an expert player versus a casual player - time commitment, skill, and game knowledge?

Here are some additional thought-starters that might help you with this discussion:
Look... I admire Steven a lot and I really like what he's done with this game... but we really need to have a come to Jesus with him about spatial awareness and keybinds/clicking. There were at least 5 ass pulls in that full video and way to many spell clicks. I don't blame him for getting nuked by the lightning, but it was funny.
It’s a hard balance between wanting to explain/show the game in a way that is friendly to all audiences. If you listen to what I say before the lightning telegraph appears, “you know what we need to show off, that we didn’t show off last time” was in reference to the new resurrection vfx…then right as I said that, I say “oh here we go” because the lightning telegraph was spawning right next to me which, I wanted to kill me xD I also click abilities in order to give less knowledgable viewers the tooltip info.
I am not trying to flex when playing, just trying to show off the game. 😂❤️💪
