It would be fun to have an mmo's factions change over time based off events and junk.
...I'm probably just going to reinvent EVE again won't I?
It would actually be neat to be able to change factions, build rep, destroy rep, etc.
It would be cool if WoW upended their dynamic and had races switch sides, but since that would effectively break up guilds/seperate player characters from bank alts its unfeasible.
Really, they should just do away with the factions not being able to group. That hold over from old faction based gameplay is so mechanically stupid these days in a multiplayer game.
Exactly. Honestly one thing that was really stupid with WoW's success is all the MMO's that later came after it that set up specific "You guys vs you guys" faction systems.
At least in Star Trek they ended the War and you can group with Klingons and Romulans.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
blizzard only knows one story to write, and they literally do it over and over.
Have some pure person get corrupted by evil, and then the reprocussions of it. Repeat ad infinitum. They did it for starcraft/2/2's expansions/diablo 3/3's expansions as well. every story is the exact fucking same. Watch reaper in overwatch is going to be mcrees son who got corrupted, I guarantee it.

Diablo (King Leoric/Prince Albrecht), Diablo II (the protagonist from Diablo 1), Diablo III (Leah), etc., etc.
actually fuck it i just want another World In Conflict game
it remains one of the best games i've ever played in terms of gameplay, story telling, having alec fucking baldwin narrating it and BITCHIN ARTILLERY STRIKES
The NHS in Scotland basically requires doctors using their own device to use an NHS hosted VM session, because they can sensibly exercise absolute control over it, and helpfully creates a consistent universal setup which makes it easy to write step by step instructions for things
However it creates its own issues which are difficult to resolve when talking to someone with only the haziest grasp of the concept of virtual machines and the desktop metaphor (given that there are two, but one is inside a window)
This is a pretty common BYOD strategy.
And yeah the communication difficulty is just like you describe
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
I broke a security rule when I made one of my programs
it records passwords for everyone not an administrator/high level office person
so when the weird lpn says she forgot her password I can just tell her what it is instead of resetting it every 12 days
congratulations you've made ludious's brain explode
I'm not particularly proud of having to do that, but the opposite end of the equation is I'd have to go to her and walk her through it every 12 fucking days.
So I'd rather just do a quick DB lookup and go "oh yeah it's 'beaniebabies4ever'"
You should store it hashed, then separately crack the passwords so you can do that, as an exercise in the futility of passwords for the general populace

And like. I get it. It can add a real thematic quality to your PvP offerings. That's great. But the problem is that modern multiplayer game design has matured and the best offerings in that genre now, IMO, are the ones that make it as easy as possible for you to play with your friends or with as many people as possible.
And this means zippo to folks that play it like a single player game. And that's fine. We don't want to go backwards to 100% forced grouping like EQ days. But whenever new MMOs come out with a hard stop faction system I just groan. I mean, just look at PA player communities in these games as they try to figure out which side all the folks who want to play with each other will be on. It gets silly.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
mass effect 2 came out during the bush administration
how is there not a "here is all the shit with no hassle" collection for 20 bucks
this is possibly the dumbest thing in the history of the universe

It was good and pure and the scourge corrupted it

I blame Origin.
It's too late for that, we all know now.
This is what our communally inquisitive nature hath wrought... Are you not entertained?
