Thread: Aigis Game Design Review

So? The point is that there's compensation of sorts of you lose. What I called it is irrelevant. Actually, I never called it a reward, when I used that word I was speaking about an issue I had with this game where you don't get anything on defeat. What you get on DMM isn't a reward (I had in mind something like partial XP/Gold gain, or maybe some of the items), but it's still nice to have part of the cost refunded.

Does sound like the DMM version doesn't have one of the major issues that the Nutaku version had for me (no rewards on defeat), so that makes me more interested in switching.

Anyway, I'll have to devote some time to everything I did like about Aigis, as well as my own ideas for what I'd do if I were designing stuff for this or a similar game. Kinda fun to think up unit ideas for Aigis...

Yeah you did

I stand by what I meant, but I don't care about trying to explain it anymore, and you are devoting way too much time to a confusion over word usage. It's derailing the topic, and I'd rather get back to what this thread is about.



On which note, I'll have to write a list of things I would hypothetically have suggested for Aigis itself, were the option available. faketurtle, do you have any ideas for what sort of game you'd like to design, or are you currently just gathering ideas and focusing on what made Aigis good?

I've been back playing on DMM and I agree that it's nice to not shell out the full amount if you loose a match. It also helps smooth out the aggravation if you loose connection or experience any other technical difficulties that force you to forfeit the match.

If you got more time allotment per day then loosing full cost would be a none issue. But Aigis was designed around a twice per day concept. Which I prefer because it's a pain the fucking ass having to log in every other hour to use up your time allotment in order to keep up.

My main issue was that you were flippant with the words: reward, refund, and compensation. These words don't mean the same thing.

This is part of the review of the thread. People will agree or disagree. I disagree with you in the first place over that word you used. That's it. We are having a conversation not an argument over these topics.

I agree it is a nice feature for Aigis

In addition, I wish Nutaku Aigis had the stam overflow like DMM Aigis.

You had watch your stam when you about to lvl up

And my issues is that you're taking my words to mean something I didn't mean. I said one of my issues was that you didn't get anything on failure on Nutaku. On DMM you get things back, so I don't care about the "no rewards" problem as much - thus, "it lacks one of the issues I had." I never said it was a reward, I said that one of the issues I had wasn't an issue. So essentially, we've both has to spend several posts over you misunderstanding my words. I understand perfectly well what it is, and have said so previously, so I'm not really sure what the point of this conversation is.

I normally would have just ignored all that, because what word I used doesn't really matter to me or to the point I was trying to make... but I really dislike being misunderstood. Personal irritant of mine. Hard for me to let things like that go.

I don't care if you have a personal irritant or not. I'm trying to discuss the faults with your review especially with the reward part.

dont take it the wrong way guys , but this is honestly a pointless argument. It;s the equivalent of tomato or tomanto debate

I'll stop then. Sorry about that.
