wankgate | 155: i need to purell my brain

i feel you, anon. personally i still am interested but that fucking faq page certainly gave me pause, as well as took a good chunk of my time to read. i was all psyched to go wild on the tdm before work yesterday, but after all the info i needed to read only ended up with time for a top level.

i'm still interested i'm just worried about how much wiggle room this will leave players for fleshing out what they want to do in game. it's like you might as well make a cheat sheet so you don't fuck something up before you post since your characters comes in with a lot of the knowledge on the info pages.

i'm really interested in the dungeon crawling aspect of the game. i'm not interested for this to end up being unmanageable for the mods based on just the sheer amount of game mechanics they have in place.

i want to invest but i've been burned twice already by CDC and Each.

you do know that there is only two pages of "paperwork" right? you have regular ac, only special cause you need at least one job thread, and then the cleared dungeon form.

literally everything else they are leaving up to the honor system and you are free to do as much or as little with it as you want as long as you don't go against common sense. like, literally don't make a ring that can shoot lasers. that's all they write. you don't HAVE to synthesis new items. you don't HAVE TO make detailed training regimes. you don't even have to go into a dungeon if you'd rather do jobs/quests.

it's actually a very loose game where you can do what you want instead of the strict regimes of cdc for example.

nothing about their very detailed info pages gives the impression of "doing what you want". it means you have to sift through a mountain of information every time you want to reference something just to make sure it's consistent.

i realize there are only a few start up pages but generally speaking you're supposed to read over everything when you join a game so..no.

well we know the mods are already whiteknighting their bloated micromanaged game, that's enough for me to walk away

isn't this the equivalent of "hi ___"? or do you have proof the mods are in this thread

LOL....

oh my god this is the fist time i have been called out as someone else. hint: i'm not in any games i'm just a lurker that was interested in getting back on the rp horse with this game.

that faq page. as soon as I saw that, it was just like "nope. aw hell nope."

there's a lot to read but im not sure how the faq is overwhelming. isnt it just standard game policy stuff and some general world info

most faqs yeah. did you not see the amount of subheaders in the link list on this one though? yeesh. like, i get being thorough but all i could think was holy crap that's a lot of repeated "back to top" links on that page. (not saying i dislike the back to top link, it did make navigating the page easier, but the point is that on this faq, it's a necessity).

i did, yeah, but the answers weren't long or anything. they could probably have stood to fold some of the questions into a single question if the number of questions is the problem. but even now i just looked over it again and to me it seems like standard 'how does x work,' 'when does y happen?' and 'can i do z' stuff.

not arguing that the game is light reading, infowise, though. a lot of it i kind of skipped over and filed under 'uh i'll look it up when it comes up.'

eh thinking back on it too, i think the fact that my computer was being a slow bastard where scrolling through anything longer than 3 paragraphs was an experience did make reading through that page seem more tedious than usual. they definitely could benefit from condensing some subcategories too, though during actual gameplay it may indeed prove useful to have everything broken down and linked; there were definitely some things i ended up skipping as well but that i will probably need to reference at some point down the line. like i said in my op, i am still looking forward to playing here, just seeing every little subheader linked in a sizable list was unexpected at first.
