But you need to realize that the context of P2W can vary based on your goals and experience, as well as a balancing factor.<br /><br />For example: GW2 would not be generally considered P2W but getting those legendaries is something you can greatly speed up with money. Also getting Weapon skins, which depends on RNG boxes and then you list that in the auctionhouse for extraneous amount of gold so people will again use money for that because grinding in GW2 is a horrible, horrible experience. Lets not forget they broke their promise with introducing the pink gear. Balancing factor? Low impact in pve/pvp performance<br /><br />How about Eve? People can now fast track into buying titans by injecting skills which they buy with money. Balancing factor? You can still die and lose it all to a newb.<br /><br />And BDO? There's all kinds of controversial shit, including maids, pets, outfits, selling pearl items in store, etc but I've recently returned and I'm swimming in silver with barely any effort and 0 spent in the store. The question is, do you want to be in the top 1% asap? Then open your wallet to get there roughly 25% faster. But once you've done that, you've taken away the opportunity to get there by number crunching. And what's the beauty in that?<br />Balancing factor: It becomes exponentially more difficult to have an edge, which allows people to be relatively competitive without spending cash. Yes, pets are needed. No outfit isnt needed. Take the time and use loyalty points to increase weight. Do the quests to get inventory slots. Fishing is a waste of time and CPU Cycles nowadays. <br /><br />I have made some content for GW2/BDO/ED and most recently, BDO seems to satisfy my immersion + number crunching needs. Thats just my meager opinion.<br /><br />Athrael.netmadkimchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205381985692957427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-4202086436815350022017-02-01T12:25:10.317+01:002017-02-01T12:25:10.317+01:00@Tennyson

There's Stand...Regarding PoE - mostly correct.<br /><br />There's Standard League which has no resets and you don't start over and over. Like everywhere, cool kids always play temporary leagues (those where everyone starts from the beginning and competes to be first, or earn unique items, or whatever), while Standard League is not considered "cool" but I believe most of the playerbase belongs there.<br /><br />Despite that, the world is shared only in "cities" (noncombat areas), and combat areas are instanced. Well, mostly. They sometimes run "gank leagues" where people can join others' instances and attack them. That's irrelevant.<br /><br />But yes, it's Diablo clone (far more advanced one than Diablo itself in terms of game mechanics and economy, though) and it has no direct player interaction apart from trading and forming parties, that's why I formerly said that it is a good game but probably not a good game for an "asociality project".Antzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627061373959554553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-29278175897859870632017-02-01T10:02:32.016+01:002017-02-01T10:02:32.016+01:00Some commenter earlier suggested that that Elite: ...Some commenter earlier suggested that that Elite: Dangerous is in alpha.

- Heroes ...@Gevlon:<br />- PoE: yes, only shared economy<br />- Heroes of the Storm: yes, LoL clone. But there are several difference: the gameplay is slower (way less twitch), there are several map which have different objectives to do. These objectives helps your team tremendously when done. So the game is a bit like: first (and bigger) part of the match: similar to a WoW BG, last phase: team fights. Also you can't feed a player here, because the whole teams gets XP, not just the killing player. Of course maybe these are not enough differences for you.<br /><br />Also based on your recent post there is no reason to evaluate Hearthstone, because (I think) there is no way you can teach / help socials in it.Cathfaernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325992067133743670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-39165275422420951582017-02-01T03:54:13.085+01:002017-02-01T03:54:13.085+01:00Path of Exile can be played solo all the way to th...Path of Exile can be played solo all the way to the end. It's a Diablo clone that does not force you to interact with anyone. PvP was, back when I played, a long time ago, before the Forsaken Masters, apparently full of Shadows with that moving spinning attack that gimped everyone with a bad connection or something because of movement tracking lag. There's no competition to be had in PoE.

And a while ago you posted your "Knights vs Demons" idea. So let me make another suggestion that may suit you perfectly: Shards Online.<br /><br />This is the spiritual successor to Ultima Online. It is developed by the same devs. In Ultima Online you have a large "freeshard" community. Think Nostralus in WoW just more numberous and much more individual (new maps, new skills, new art etc.). Instead of fighting it like Blizzard does, Shards Online embraces this idea. It gives their players the ability to become developers themselves. You get a map editor, a programming toolkit (think RPG Maker) and even access to the LUA database. This way you can make your own shard with your own rules. People need to eat? Do it. People can steal other peoples loot? Do it. People only have on death? Do it.<br /><br />So the developers provide you with graphics and the base of the game. And you can go ahead and out of that create the game you think would be best. AFAIK you are working in the tech industry so this should pose a neat little challenge shouldn't it?<br />Gurkengeleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-1677053666875168962017-01-31T02:46:48.668+01:002017-01-31T02:46:48.668+01:00How about chess?

So you would need a large group of players to try out things because you could not back up your data with statistics like Gevlon did in the LoL project.
