UN: PinkPilgrim - "Do ANY of you know what you're doing?"

[conjecturecycle]

Now don't take this the wrong way or nothing, I'm just trying to be frank here. Because it seems like a whole lot of you haven't played a game like this before. Is this a vocal minority situation or did they just pull names out of hats for this beta?

Because to be honest they aren't paying me enough as "User Moderator" or whatever they put on my paychecks to lead around an entire gaggle of ducklings just so they can idiot proof their game or whatever the logic is here. Again, no offense. I'm sure you're all brilliant at whatever it is you do with the rest of your time.

Anyway I guess I should aughta say that if you have any problems and you don't wanna go straight to the admin, there's me. But I don't know anything more about the game than you, I just maybe know how to play it better and also I can timeout people if they're acting up.

Are we supposed to be offended? You kind of just called us normal.

[conjecturecycle]

Nah, I was calling you incompetent.

No one who's "Normal" would agree to participate in a VR-RPG beta test anyways

i dunno about anyone else here but i get paid to write game guides for a living
they shot me a beta key so i could get a head start
so if you're overwhelmed with answering questions just shoot me a pm and i can try to fill in some gaps

Yeah, there are a lot of MMO newbs here. I've chalked it up to the lottery system.

[conjecturecycle]

I'm just glad that there's at least one other person here who makes sense to be here.

To be honest if I get tired of answering questions I'll just not. I'll just ignore them.
[Why is this guy a moderator.]

[fluorite]

You're right! I've never played a game like this before!

[conjecturecycle]

Normally you do a lottery system among people who chose the enter it. Like, people who already know about this sorta thing.

[conjecturecycle]

Why the heck would you sign up for a beta when you don't even know if you like games like this or how to play them?

[fluorite]

Bragging rights!

[conjecturecycle]

Well then you better figure out how the game works before you start bragging about it, paly

It is a little surprising, isn't it?

Perhaps they think too focused of a testing group wouldn't end up exploring all of whatever it is they're trying to promote and test?

[ 'gamers will just beeline in on progression instead of checking to see if the grass actually smells like grass instead of roses or something.' ]

[fluorite]

Don't worry, I will~ I'm learning how areas work!

[conjecturecycle]

Yeah, like I said, idiot proofing. They've got something pretty groundbreaking here so they wanna cater to the mass market rather than just people already familiar with these games.

That's my theory, anyways.

[conjecturecycle]

Great. Just don't walk off any cliffs or whatever because there's fall damage.

[fluorite]

You can get hurt when you fall here?

[ It makes sense, but now he's just trying to get a reaction out of this guy. ]

[conjecturecycle]

[It will work.]

You ever fallen off a cliff in real life, paly?

[fluorite]

Nope! I usually avoid getting too close to the edge.

[conjecturecycle]

And why do you do that? Same rules apply here, they're trying to make it realistic. Besides all the y'know, magic and all that.

[trashtier]

Pretty sure that's how it worked. Normies just enter these things anyway.

[fluorite]

Why can't we fly instead? That would be more fun. It's not that far of a leap since we have magic.

[conjecturecycle]

I'd say they shoulda put in some sort of tutorial but maybe they're setting them loose to see what they gotta add to it for the full version of the game.

[conjecturecycle]

Probably further up the skill tree that we all are at level one if I had to guess. Or flight would make exploration too easy so they deliberately didn't include it.

[fluorite]

That makes sense. They want us to really experience what it's like to be an adventurer.

[horologia]

They don't tell moderators very much, do they?

[conjecturecycle]

More like it saves them on rendering if they know for sure some areas of the map won't be accessible to players.
