The Deru' Plan C discussion

[Man0warr]

On live there was never 6-8 guilds capable of killing the endgame content at one time. At best the most populated servers had maybe 3 on the bleeding edge with the rest spread out in past expansions.

Unfortunately, no proposal can fix what's broken with this situation.

Let me ask you why you need to compete on a emulated server of a 14 year old game? Do you not have enough competition in your life? I mean do you want a medal for beating 14 year old content for years on a server with 1k people on it usually? If your enjoy "competing" in p99 i really just feel sad for you.

Because the competition makes the win far better.

Tell me why you need to do anything on a 14 year old game or taking down mobs where the strategy has been PERFECTED over that time and is known by all?


Its not competing against the content that is fun or challenging, its competing against other humans to get to the content that is fun and challenging.

May of us aren't here in search of competition nor challenge. Personally, I play P99 and it's like reading an old book. It is an exercise in nostalgia. Similarly, I do not play Zelda with the intent to dominate its content. I am not running fast as I can through Marioland. I am sitting down and getting reacquainted with an old friend.

The question is: why is this the arena you've selected to feel a sense of accomplishment? Frankly, any victory won on P99 is likely to be a Pyrrhic one.

False premise. It isn't the content that is a challenge its the competition to the content agaisnt other humans.

False premise. It may not be a sense of accomplishment that is felt.

As to why it is an arena I choose to enjoy to spend my time - any answer I give is as valid as your enjoyment of reliving it like an old book as both are personally subjective.

Emphasis mine.

This is why R99 exists. I've even heard you can attack the other humans over there. If you really wanted the challenge of mobilizing, log out in Qeynos every time.

So you're competing, but not for a sense of accomplishment? Are you competing merely to deny others their gratification?

Not sure my mind is limber enough for your mental gymnastics, but feel free to turn some more cartwheels.

And I didn't ask why it's an arena in which you "spend your time". I asked why you find it a suitable outlet for your competitiveness. I can understand why people want to play on Project99, but I can't imagine why anyone would yearn to prove they're the best at playing Project99.
