[quote=@Blizz] I am seven shades of confused [/quote] After that comment, I feared I was in the wrong area and should make a quick retreat. >_> I have a habit to get excited over stuff and oddly scare off people easily since I reply a bit faster than many. [quote=@Skallagrim] [@Fallenreaper] all good questions. The easiest and most honest answer is simply that the MV is a huge sanbox that requires everyone to build. Fights are ever present, however fights are only to advance characters through conflict. There are many none fighting opportunities in any arena MV. It is a question those not familiar with arena MV's often ask. The requirement is that the players have to agree on certain "hubs" for such interactions. People mistakenly think all we do is fight. No we actively try to work a story into our fights. The NoW and WoTW are examples of this. Melon and I through very organic contact have developed a quasi-mythos between some of his characters and the Dreamers. Khan is advancing the Angar-Rylla who actively hunt the Dreamers. Like any good MV it requires active players pursuing story threads with other players.[/quote] I appreciate the answer and mentioning the sandbox bit helps some. I was worried for while I might seemed rude or too energetic for the MV, which in that case I just need to be told to tone it down. I understood the fight to overcome conflict, but I wasn't sure if it was like what Lyzan did with Insanity Isle or not. I liked that method a lot as it combined rping and arena for me, into a smooth flow by having a purely story thread with links leading into the arena whenever a fight broke out. Granted, I never got to test my mute Onix out before he went MIA but I still had fun. He was the one that helped reveal that some arena fighters strive for more than just victory and bragging rights. That even a lost fight is worth playing if you both learn from it and have fun challenging each other, that's the only reason worth. Mainly is to push each other's creativity and have fun doing it. [quote=@Skallagrim]The NoW connects to all worlds. There are other methods of course. The biggest thing is defining the vision for the MV. [/quote] I see, now I'm curious about those other methods. [quote=@Rilla] He's doing it so he can gather more information that can appear on his characters to make them the ultimate dreamer killing machine. ;D xD [/quote] I would say he's already done that from what I read in NoW Tourney. >_>
