At this point, modding is what allows new life to be constantly breathed into a game, such like that with Minecraft, where anyone could have their own skin texture pack for everything, but mods they would share. It was a really good balance, and even more so with space engineers where you just connect to the server and it downloaded the mods to you without you having to do all this extra work!Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080848754284317868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-46535369245805464342015-08-03T11:16:05.248-04:002015-08-03T11:16:05.248-04:00You just made a good friend.You just made a good friend.Tyrannodorkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746521719516726415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-86300101971877335912015-08-03T10:11:30.712-04:002015-08-03T10:11:30.712-04:00Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time!...Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time!Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249690585703986146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-21564491614053873362015-08-02T22:21:40.037-04:002015-08-02T22:21:40.037-04:00I keep forgetting this problem with MMOs and damag...I keep forgetting this problem with MMOs and damage trackers, etc. I don't use them. Since I'm really all about having fun in a game, I'm not worried about top damage, just staying alive long enough to win the battle.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this problem hasn't been solved. If you get rid of numbers, people will use time to figure the best item. I remember something that said that people will even use superstition or see false advantages when there is no difference between something (I can't remember where so I can't confirm this claim).<br /><br />Regularly updated UIs is something I can stand behind.Tyrannodorkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746521719516726415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-19361720194896361182015-08-02T22:15:03.291-04:002015-08-02T22:15:03.291-04:00It is a Guar, and from Morrowind to boot. :DIt is a Guar, and from Morrowind to boot. :DTyrannodorkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746521719516726415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-4024734337227607872015-08-02T17:52:39.887-04:002015-08-02T17:52:39.887-04:00I don't like modding in MMOs.

I much prefer everyone to be on the same playing field, plus some mods change communities for the worse (gear score trackers, for example). <br /><br />That said, most developers need to regularly consider updating their UIs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289459451344261371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597964075683073477.post-2582191425341410072015-08-02T14:28:08.290-04:002015-08-02T14:28:08.290-04:00Hey!
