@Gamble said in Increase of isometric perspectives games: What’s the best game you have played with this design? Probably Baldur's Gate II. So much atmosphere! (The lairs of the Beholders, or the Illithids, or the Dark Elves... not to mention the dragon encounters...)

@dragomok said in Why MMO if you like to Solo?: I play MMOs solo for Reson #4: I have no social circle Apparently there are a lot of people who drag parts of their social circle - their friends, acquaintances, colleagues, work buddies, barbers, dog groomers, frenemies, husbands, wives, secret lovers, overt lovers, "it's complicated" paramours, vicars, and fellow FLGS attendants - into multiplayer games they play. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I don't have a social circle. If not for my family, where noone else is interested in video games, I'd be alone as a dog. So whenever I hear some insensitive self-appointed MMO gatekeeper say "hurr durr em-em-ohs are social games you shouldn't play them without a group and the devs should stop catering for carebear casuls like you", I get pretty salty. (Especially since, as I pointed out in Reason #3, MMOs are one of the few games where you can actually meet people.) @Gamble - I hope you feel sufficiently smothered with reasons, mhm? I have a social circle (two players of course are not a circle.), but somehow never in a game that I am playing. I still don't get why people get upset if a solo player is gaming in an mmo. (other mmo-not-solo users are so much social. yeah right. mostly -as far as all the games I have played mmo-teams end up in solo players showing off and a bunch of mindless repeaters that want to shout their opinion. why I have an opinion? as a former military I know there is no 'i' or 'me' in 'team'. ) and to form a team you need players that are not part of a team. and if mmo players would be more social there would be less solo players. so I like the #3 as well.. mmo to meet other players.

@esher i guess it‘s a dimond sword Also we will never see swords on the Item-shop.... but a diamond skin for swords would be maybe cool.

It's definitely a pyramid scheme. But one that adds some drama as well. If your lord is being unresponsive, you can take your chain of vassals and pledge them to someone else. Or you could have your vassals abandon you for a person that is more engaged. The type of reward would really depend on the game mechanics in place. XP, Currency, Boosts, ect. Neverwinter and a few other games have alliance systems. Those allow for greater guild features and guild oriented events. But not the same as a vassal system.

Out of curiosity, what kind of 'bugs' are we talking about there? Could you describe something?
