And everything thats again wrong with mmos and mmo player mentality. Right up to the crappy ass design that pretty much says "Hey good job beating everything else, now we're just gonna throw skill out the window and throw something stupidily large at you! You know the kind of thing you need to be obscenely high leveled, or the perfect class (b rank Bil kills my 56 newman figunner in 3 hits) or you may as well not bother!"
Tried it twice tonight on B with friends and pretty much decided on the spot I'm not ever bothering with that waste of time anymore. All it is besides poor design is a tool for powergamers to speed rush through their levels and classes to the end. Which pretty much defeats the purpose of playing mmos anyway. As it's not about the end, it's not about xp/time ratios, its not about grinding the same mometastic map over and over, well if you can grind on it being the proper class, and it's not about getting to the top fast as possible. Unless you're playing WoW anyway.
And that's what gets me, Bruce's reeks of WoW design, it's a fricking raid dungeon done mini style. That kind of stuff doesn't need to be in PSU in the slightest. Anything that gives that kind of reward that fast if you have the right classes is just gonna make people level faster and bitch more when they get to the top looking for something else to do. and pretty much demeans the point of having a good class level, when all we need to do now is sit in there 24/7 and be max in a week. Who needs to actually take the time to reach a goal anymore, and have the sastisfaction of knowing the effort you put in paid off finally. When there's the best grind map out there to rush through that silly game I thought we were playing to enjoy, not reach the non exsistant end of by treating it as job #2.
Stupidest thing ever added, PSU would be a lot better off without this, and I hope future updates do without more places like this. There's a difference beween a challenge (which Bruce isn't) and just fricking cheap shots (which Bruce is) where the only way to beat the powergamer design of boss Bils is to powergame right back. All the skill and cordination in the world meaning jack **** when you're one shotted by a lucky spin.
But I'm sure the powergamers will love it *sigh* more power to them, if they want to treat PSU like a job let them, I'd rather have fun with my game time. And finding two copernias on a Mad creatures A run beats wasting the same amount of time in Bruce's anyday.
