u or all ppl talking about real life save it gramps uve been playing old d2 for like how many years from the way u talk and from the trash u sprout is exactly the same as dotard trump what are u a patriot needing courage in a game ppl like u disgusts me and this is why u ppl need to be purged from the net cuz it is ppl like u that makes the net unsafe
And just because you like it, doesn’t mean it’s good, either. Repeat that a few times.
Why would adding a consensual hostility be a bad thing? How does it break PVP?
Correct.
However, by definition griefers in video games cause others grief which is in fact bad.
Well do you like it or do you dislike it or do you not care?
I never said I like it smart guy.
But its part of the game design. Its how the game works. There isnt anything really wrong it it. Either take the steps to reduce your affect by it or stuff it.
Just because the Hostility system isnt a Pvp Flagging system doesnt make it bad. Its just Not a dueling system.
its not being sissy it younger gamers have more manners than u old fossizled bm scrubs
lol and someone actually like tension wow no wonder in america a radical fascist like trump can run president i can see why now just sad
that be nice
Its part of the experience. Take the good with the bad. Its how the system works.
Just because you dont want to experience anything “Bad” doesnt mean it should be removed.
just had a pker in my baalrun. little did he know that my whirlwind barb had an upgraded shadowfang and 1000+ life. Plus it was 7vs1. hopped on his corpse for 2 minutes straight. Thats too much fun. you dont get such scenarios with consensual hostile system. it makes everything sterile and boring.
Holy moly. There is good and bad in life. There is good and bad in video games.
Arguing for positive change to make things better has merit. I prefer advocating to increase the odds of having better experiences where possible.
Removing something just because you dont find it as fun, really doesnt have a lot of merit.
There are steps you can take in game to reduce you being impacted as much by the hostility system.
Either take steps to reduce your “Bad” experience or dont.
But if you arent willing to attempt to reducing via already existing means, then frankly, I dont wana hear you complain about how a system thats working as its designed to, should be changed.
I don’t think you are an old player, I would rather go back to the time when there was only one corpse
You know what else is boring? Having to go back to town and waste a lot of time waiting for some anti-social jerk to leave the game. Or abandoning a great Baal run and spend 30 minutes to find another good one.
And for what? So some no-life can attempt to find some kind of virtual affirmation?
Puh-lese. It’s 2021. D2 is not sacred text. In can be improved upon without damaging it.
Make the PK’s work for their fun, and not have it served to them on a silver platter - one that they take, but other players paid for.
By definition, griefers in video games cause others grief which is in fact bad. It is not my opinion but a widely held belief in the video game community.
I do not advocate for the removal of PvP. It might, however, be nice to make PvP consensual.
Cool, but thats how the game was intentionally designed. Just because something isnt FUN doesnt mean it should be changed or removed. It was designed to be the way it is. Its not a Joy system.
Not everything in a game is designed to bring you Joy. Doesnt mean those systems are bad or wrong.
So, games should not be fun?
then you just communicate with your group and make a password protected game. Or face him 7vs1 on an entrance.
It’s 2021. D2 is not sacred text. In can be improved upon without damaging it.
what you call “improving” could be downproving for everyone else.
True. It is 2021. Designs can change for the better.
“Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.” - Mark Twain
Have you played a horror game? Would you describe them as Joy Simulators?
If you do, I worry about you.
Not all experience in games is designed to being Purely Helpfuly and Enjoyable. Plenty of game systems are designed to make the player struggle more, because over coming struggles is enjoyable for some.
DARK SOULS. Extremely popular, similar Hostility like system. Nothing wrong with it. Hostility systems are still used. They are even core parts of some games.
There are ways to mitigate your impact by the system for users that dont want to engage in it. Use those systems.
No need to change the system, its working as its supposed too.
I have already stated my position about why it is not working well as have others. A system that allows griefiing can be tweaked to make it work better. Please ask Brevik if the system was “supposed” to allow griefing. I bet his answer would be no.
There are systems in place to already reduce the ability for you to be impacted by the hostility system.
I have state it over and over and you just ignore it.
Take The Steps To Reduce its Impact On You.
Its not hard to understand. You want to avoid Griefers, Cool, Good. Then use the game systems that aid you in doing so.
You dont need to “Tweak” it, it already has plenty of safe guards for the player. Closing portals, Showing enemy player on map, audio indicator of hostile.
You just dont like something so you want it changed, without a real good reason. “People USE the System Against Me!” Isnt a reason to change said system.
Take the Steps to reduce likely hood of griefers, Lobby Level Restriction, Full Premade Lobbies, Private and Single Player.
Game has systems in place to reduce in game threat of the PKer(audio on hostile, Red Player Map Marker, closing PKer TPs) and there are systems to help reduce chance of one being able to get in your game.
