Rowsdower Power!

This week we discuss bans for zombie goats, demonic Rowsdowers, how to pronounce “Ziost,” and how Archeage gets even grindier! Welcome to Casual Core Radio, where we talk about MMOs and we’re not trying to double-jump long gaps in MMOs that don’t have double jump, we just like to fall into canyons. A lot.

If I Were a Dev

What 5 unique concepts would you totally steal from other games?

JOE:

  1. SWTOR’s companion system
  2. WildStar’s instanced housing
  3. TSW’s ability wheel (just smaller)
  4. WoW’s roll-free group finder loot.
  5. WoW/TSW realm malleability

DREW:

  1. LOTRO’s mounted combat
  2. Naval combat from Assassin’s Creed IV
  3. Skill trees from SWTOR/WoW (I love hybrids)
  4. Banks from SWTOR
  5. Trial system in Archeage

CARLA:

  1. Fighting abilities from Ultima Online (drink potions while shooting bow, throwing explosion potions blowing up other explosion potions)
  2. LOTRO housing taxes payments a year in advance (and housing escrow which holds your stuff until you come back)
  3. Crafting from SWG (intricacy, detailed, go out and find iron in ground, take core samples, mine it, empty mining drill etc)
  4. SWG and UO NPC shop vendors that you set up to sell your stuff
  5. UO’s transportation system (recall runes, mark it in a book). Could mark it wherever you want.

Screenshot_2014-02-23_13_11_55_705030108This week we talk a LOT about SWTOR, make a lot of TSW references, and try to get in as much off-topic ranty-ness as two people can reasonably fit in one podcast. Welcome to Casual Core Radio, where we talk about MMOs and we grind like it’s 1999!
