I've been using directly negative adjectives like "bad" or "unsatisfying."
This, and the higher interest rates also mean that capital isn't "free" anymore and so their horizons before taking profits from any given investment have to be shorter to make the same amount they used to make.
This reminds me of the art style found on modern Magic the Gathering cards- maybe this would make a nice Plains land art for a set with the proper theming.
Except that time they unironically drop the f-slur... 🙊 but their hearts are clearly in the right place.
It's still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn't even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn't work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.
Isn't this just World of Warcraft? It's practically a co-op ARPG at this point.
In my Call of Cthulhu campaign, a character received a cathartic, romantic love letter from his long-distance sweetheart NPC. And then the PC was killed in one shot by a sniper in the next episode before being able to write back.
It's a lot. The dice are cruel sometimes in high-lethality systems but it's made a great tragedy for the other party members- they have to share the bad news when they get back to town, and that's some juicy horror/drama roleplaying.
Miserable game design for something that is trying to get players to come back every few months for content releases. "You can't play the new hero until you grind for it until you burn out or pay" is just not a compelling pitch to get people to resume playing your game.
It's only going to get worse over time as the proportion of premium characters grows... 😐
Great idea! I subscribed.
- The Bioshock series supports a spellcasting-based play style with a decent skill tree.
- CONTROL also involves a lot of eldritch force powers in its combat sequences
- I know you didn't really want sidescrollers or top-downs but Noita and Magicka are pretty great at delivering on the creativity of mage combat and scratch this itch for me.
