Party Combos?

[Cleaf]

Praising changes is one-dimensional thinking. They can be good but also bad. Culture don't stop progress, culture change with people. There are a lot of good things in every culture to deserve protection.

Don't worry about me.

I've gotten used to the fact that I will not be able to gain the trust of everyone here, and especially that I will not always share their opinion (I disagree with 'Aion is a Korean game, made for Koreans'). I will continue telling you the way we see things, but that's ultimately all I can do.

Thanks for the consideration though, @Altwight. Paid for it or not, lively discussions can be a frustrating business.

Thanks for the consideration though, @Altwight. Paid for it or not, flaming can be a frustrating business.

It's not even flaming, I don't see anything in my 2 posts on this thread that is purposely aggressive or made up, which is afaik the definition of flaming.

I'd consider them accurate and genuine concerns from people who are going to end up busting lots of money and time into the game. Not that much to ask for a bit more factual commentary and a little less fluff imo =/

I changed my wording. It's getting rather late, and I'm starting to notice typos all over the place in my posts!

About that you're looking for factual commentary... I'm currently giving you all that I can, and all that's possible given the circumstances. What you probably refer to as "fluff" is just the way I enjoy writing.

Again, it wasn't the culture. Religion or to be more accurate the church stopped the progress for hundred of years.

Then again, isn't religion and therefore the church a part of many, if not any (related to religion, not the church) culture/s?

ffxi type skillchains would be amazing. along with magic burst!

[rainman187]

ffxi chains idd was a nice feature. What would be sweet aswell is, with some inspiration from fighting games, if u could make ur own combos with using skills well timed and in a specific order. Probably needs a lot of thinking thru tho to be implementable in different aspects, and for every class/role in the game.

Maybe a bit OT but had to ventilate my thoughts.

cheers!

Its somewhat surprising how a discussion about party combos derailed into a discussion about culture...

But hey, that might indicate people on AS like to think hard (too hard maybe?)!

...

Although i'd be happy to jump on the discussion train anytime, i'm afraid i don't have the time to do so (exam tomorrow; so gonna fail blah :/ ).

However i noticed some of you kinda use a 'wrong' definition of culture, atleast wrong in the light of the current consensus...

So i'll give you the definition straight from my textbook of sociology (by prof. dr. John Vincke)!

culture= "The whole of common meanings we give to the behaviour of another and ourselves. It is the answer for the demands that physical environments pose to human societies, and thus gives form to human, physical action. Culture composes everything that humanity has acquired in the flow of time: values, standards, knowledge, ideas, techniques, material products and objects of art."

(dutch "Het geheel van gemeenschappelijke betekenissen die we aan het gedrag van een ander en aan ons eigen gedrag geven. Het antwoord op de overlevingseisen die fysische omgevingen stellen aan menselijke samenlevingen en zo het menselijke, lichamelijke handelen vorm geeft. Cultuur omvat alles wat door de mens in de loop der tijden werd verworven: waarden, normen, kennis, idee?n, technieken, materi?le producten en kunstvoorwerpen")

I included that for dutch-speakers who speak better english than myself, i tried to translate as literally as possible.
There are ofcourse different versions i'm sure, but before any discussion can be meaningful, you must agree on a common definition

So... let that sink in for a bit...

Oh, and maybe its a good idea to continue the discussion elsewhere... Like in another forum

Would be a nice feature to have party combos, maybe it's an idea they'll consider later down the line.

I have to agree Party Combos would be a nice feature.
