Yeah, item level was in WoW from day one, but it took until Wrath of the Lich King for the modding community to come up with Gearscore, a nerd superiority tool as detailed above. WotLK came out in 2008.

monkeytek posted:as a senior manager of a public company if I ever caught a junior developer describing their goals for what the company will do in a product, while using their company issued account on a company website I'd fire their rear end. This guy will get promoted though? He’s obviously a proto Christ Robots, asspulling dreams and weaving impossibilities into them, until literally no one can tell if what he’s saying is a real achievable aim of the company; or one of the trillion things like cocktail making or wormhole discovering that got randomly mentioned in an elevator to a janitors uncle once, and is now quoted as canon by the faithful.

Uh, so because other games have had 12 year developments, SC needs to be in development for 24 years in total? This means that if SC had started development at the same time as Privateer 2 it would be releasing right now.

G0RF posted:It’s true — I’m sure Chris will be buoyed by massive sales for FFVII: Part I and draw parallels. “Much like my vision for Squadron 42 — a cinematic masterpiece too grand for just one game.” It’s going to be even more meta: SC is going to be the development they did along the way. When the actual game releases in twenty years time, it’ll be a sequel to itself. Star Citizen 2: This Time, It’s Playable!

I don’t know anything about game development, but I think a lot of large game companies could make a large scale MMO in five years, then bang out a single player space ship game in three years.

That excuse would be valid if there were multiple (or even one) loops that worked fine, and this was an outlier. Every single aspect of the whole enterprise has multiple issues on every level though, as if every project was utterly incomprehensible bullshit until the last button press made it all magically work.

Anticheese posted:Wait do the prison sentences only tick down if you're logged in? Harsh consequences are something we all desire, remember. Don’t forget, a backer once explicitly asked for rape to be added to the game. “Nothing too graphic, just a short cutscene to depict your character being sexually defiled” was his original pitch. He meant when you get boarded by pirates, but this gameplay loop could very easily be added to the prison scenario. Make the guards romancable, while we’re spitballing. The possibilities are endless!

Yeah , they said “what can we actually do with the assets we have?” and the answer was “lock people in a featureless cave”. Some junior probably said “poo poo, that sounds like prison lol” and he got promoted to lead gameplay designer.
