Hellooooo, I don't really hang out in this section much, I just read what your posting most of the time, but I have a question really, and I'll start out with talking a little bit about myself. I'm 18 years old, and in about 2 years or so I'll be heading to Arizona for Video Game Design college. Going for lead design.
I can really sit here and point out a million of problems with the path of MMORPG's today, but theres one in particular that I've been talking to my friend about lately. Simply said, lack of new idea's. They keep treadmilling the idea's from mmorpg to mmorpg, so, my friend and me we're talking about dragons, while playing world of warcraft.
It comes to me every game I play, you start out fighting wolves, bears, whatever, orcs, you name it. Stupid creatures, really. Then blah blah, you level up to whatever and you fight "end game dragons" and we we're like well, why do dragons have to be only end game? I really think there can be something cooler than a dragon.
In most games, you fight dragons at the end. Simply put because you feel good enough that your character has advanced that you can slay whatever dragon with whatever weapon or magic. Well, we're going to make all these mean ass monsters, but the question I'm really asking people is --
What could be cooler than a dragon?
Well if I'd reply to my own post, I'd explain a dragon first. A dragon is like a huge dinosaur with wings, an ancient creature who's been around for over thousands of years, that has very strong magical attributes, that on occasion blows fire and whatnot. The reason they are so bad ass is because of their mass and destruction that they can cause. Oh I'm sure you could be like, (well mewtew from pokemon could own a dragon) but I'm really just looking for ancient mythical creatures that could possibly match or beat a dragon.
Anyone have any thoughts? I googled and stuff for it, and I'm gettin stupid **** like, "pakistan protesters throw rocks" and **** ..
