If this were not something that they should be proud of, the wiki wouldn't exist! Now, go put it on the wiki, so when people figure it out after uncovering some weird google chat or dead forum post from 11 years ago, or they get so immersed they discover the ONCE SECRET cool SECRETS of everquest, you can roast them because now suddenly apparently these secrets that you once worked so hard to put into the wiki are NOT COOL anymore because everyone knows about them.... ironically pointed out by the guy flooding the wiki with spoilers.
Ironic, for a jedi. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Ok, I should have qualified my statement a bit more: there is
some strategy/tech discussion here also; it's not
pure back-patting. And I do respect strategy/tech discussion!
But at the same time, I respect "cheat discussion" the least out of all such talk. It's like talking about the cool new technique you found to press UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A B A START extra quickly. Like yes, it is cool, and yes, it is part of playing Contra ... but compared to discussions about how to jump better, or how to shoot better, or how to play the game
without cheats better ... talking about how to best use a cheat (that the devs deliberately left in the game for you to use to make the game easier) is in my book the lowest form of "theorycrafting".
You're welcome to disagree that manastones are similar to the Konami code, but as deliberate dev-introduced "ways to make the game easier than intended" they seem fairly analogous to me. Even so though, I
do have significantly more respect for Castle posting about his clever trick than for the majority of posts here. It
is clever and it
is theorycrafting.
