This thread is ridiculous!

This is valid. You don't want anything to be different when playing in a tournament. Even a change in resolution, or a new mouse pad with a different texture, can be a distraction. Dumping changes on tournament players before they can get used to them was pretty unfair.Those things may seem minor from a developer's standpoint but they are huge (massive!) in the tourney community where knowing the quirks can be the competitive advantage that gives you the game.
I don't even get a toe wet, much less submerse myself. I've never even posted on the WoW forums once. They're like Myth forums, but with a lower average IQ and literally millions more wankers, so no thanks. As for the changes that Blizzard makes, some annoy me - but I quickly get used to them, just like everyone else does.all this dismal talk of the worst part of myth's history being played out repeatedly over and over every few months on WoW makes me wonder why you, of all people, continue to submerse yourself in it over and over again??
I don't know if it's always that simple, Renwood. If you asked your artist friend what seperates high art over mediocrity, I bet he or she will list sophistication as one of the most important attributes.The masses will ALLWAYS accept mediocrity over high art.
A great artist told me that years ago.
Not sure what game you were watching, but you never roll dice for combat in WoW. All combat related random number generation is handled behind the scenes, exactly the way it is in Myth. The only time you ever do any sort of "dice rolling" is when you're in a group with other players and an item drops that more than one person wants. You can then "roll" a computer generated random integer as a fair way to determine which player gets to keep it.Renwood TWA wrote:...gameplay style of motherfucking DICE ROLLING COMBAT makes me puke inside my mouth and swollow it every time i watch it in action.
We had dice back in the day because we NEEDED THEM....Now we have SUPER COMPUTERS so we DONT need to roll dice anymore!
