NPC Missions and My hungover insight for the Day

Tigercha · July 2006

After reading these questions and answers on NPC missions in games, and the fact that my head already hurts, I thought I would give my view on NPC quests and the Shiny Pixel rewards ingame.

I dont need an NPC standing by a hut to dish out the mission, ------NPC says----- " Go kill 50 Juba's, and I will give you a Sword", Ho mate kill your own fucking juba's you spaz and stick the fucking sword up your fucking arse I am busy, I got to swim across that there lake with me mates, down that ramp, and do all this whilst naked, and only 1 self heal.

I belong to a guild, we have TS we have beer in our fridges, we got cat's we go guild hunting, Brain Bashing/ cabbage slapping or boss hunting or just Voor Trekking, talking on TS, taking the piss and chugging a few beers, we dont make much XP most of the time, but there is a time and place for grinding if you need too,

do really dont need to be lvl 250 next week, there are many many hours too grind, but not enough hours when the entire guild is online together.

I learned my leason in SWG's I had a sandbox, it had minimal missions, it had bug's and I complained like the rest, the towns were laggy, the combat is unbalanced, the content is minimal and wank, I learned my lesson, they , CU'ed the game and then that was it, they blew out most of the complexity that made it interesting and fucked it up, I was Amazed, so for 18 months I tried all the usual crap games, Wow, DaOC, Eve.

Nowadays I vote with my pounds, if the game is kak, I remove my subscription, loads of games are not for me, but this open ended, sandbox world suits me fine, NPC dont give me missions, I dont care anymore, the war for the OP's are one sided, the populations are imbalanced, do I give a shit, NO, why, coz the guild and I can go out get pissed and kill stuff and have a laugh, and isnt that what a game should be, having fun with like minded people I mean it is a MMO, you should be messing around with loads of people, not standing in a field on your own killing some rat related crap for 5 hours at a time and then deluding your self that the sparkly blue pixels the NPC gave you as a reward was somehow worth it, you might as well have taken a tooth brush and painted the outside of your house becase that in reality would be more rewarding, that the mantalitly of these games in the main, if someone told you to cut an entire football pitch with a pair of nail clippers and he would give you 2 pound would you, NOT A FUCKING CHANCE, but you will sit in your chair day after day on your own playing in a virtual world in an isolated spot for hour upon hour clicking your left mouse button.

If I could be arsed I would stick on a poll, but my head hurts and I cannot cannot think of a question I actually give a shit about right now.
