    League of Legends: I finally updated the player list in the OP!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Funny you should mention this. Me and a couple of friends started a ranked time a while ago, and we've been struggling to get out of the bronze division, even though we've been playing the game for years now.

    Every time we're eligible to rank up, we get pitted against a team which is trying to rank up to either gold, or a level in gold (if we're lucky). We decimate the teams getting to the final match in our bracket, but when we get there we're always matched up against uneven odds, and stumble down again.

    Exactly. My enemies themselves have sometimes said at the end of the game things like "gold 1 at last" when I'm struggling to get to silver 2. It's bullshit

    Is anyone else fed up with solo que matchmaking system? Frankly, I think it should be reworked in some fashion.

    The description says "you'll be competing against all opponents of your skill level in the League of Legends community". So yeea... In other words, you'll randomly be fighting against platinum players while your team consists of silver players.

    I actually have decent stats in ranked and perform consistently well, but it's a damn lottery about what kind of team I get, and most of the time it doesn't matter at all how well I'm playing. On top of that, I lose more league points from a defeat (-20...-22lp) than what I get when I win (+17...20lp). I've actually mailed a Riot worker about it because my friends haven't experienced the same. How about you people?

    Why don't I hate the old Final Fantasies?

    imagine them speaking out loud and having set emotions in place in CG

    you'd hate it because it actually is cheesy and your brain just let you get away with thinking it wasn't due to imagination

    even if it *wasn't* cheesy the voice acting wouldn't be as good as you wanted it to be, the main reason why anyone thinks most of these newer stories are bad/worse/not just as bad as the old ones

    I'll give you that imagination plays a big part with old games. I like to picture the events in my head as they happen on-screen. But of course, we can only speculate how these games would look and feel if made with modern technology. But most of all my point is that even if technical issues, such as the ones you mentioned (how the characters sound and look), would drag the game down, the storyline itself would still, even by today's standards, be epic as hell and loved by many.

    It's really interesting to think and explore why many like old rpgs more than new ones. I'm one of those people... I never had an SNES as a child and I actually played FF6 first time in 2010 with an emulator. It absolutely blew my mind and drew me in right from the intro. Not before or since then have I played a game that I would call... an adventure rather than a mere game. Now wasn't that a cheesy way of saying it.

    In response to the first post:

    Truthfully, FF4 was sorta cheesy, and so was FF5. By today's standards they do fall short... However, if FF6 was made today, I'd probably hail it as the best RPG ever. I don't think it's nearly as cheesy or as flawed as its predecessors. The plot? Still haven't seen an RPG plot that is as captivating and thought-out.

    norg, thanks for the answer. Separating it into 4 movements was certainly a good choice.

    my personal rule in arranging is that it has to be something that i enjoy creating and would listen to. if it doesn't meet those criteria, why bother? and someday i might have to adjust that tone but for now i've been very lucky that at least 2-3 people enjoy it and that's a very tasty icing on the cake. (:

    I agree 100%. Actually, the only reason I make music is because I enjoy and listen to it myself. Even if no one else listened to it. :D

    the original outline was 74 minutes. we trimmed it down.

    Woah, that's one ambitious piece of music. I'm one of those skeptics who has to hear it to believe that such a colossal song can be enjoyable.

    As a fellow musician, I'm interested to hear the reasoning behind that. Why make one behemoth of a song instead of a bunch of regular ones? Aren't you worried that it's too much asked from people to listen to the whole thing?

    Good OC ReMixes for getting through a break-up?

    A distant&sad, yet warm song that has actually put me to tears called "Anthem of Exile" by JJT is the one I recommend. It has some magic to it, I think... It's a remix of one of my favorite VGM tunes, and even though the organ solo does stray from the sad feel of the rest of the song, the beginning and the end are the parts that still make me emotionally invested.

    Another one that you may want to try out is "Stockholm" by Avaris. If I ever feel like taking a lone walk in the evening, I put it on. It's eerie, sad, distant... You know, everything you'd want in that mindset.

    For my part, FF V is one of my favorite games and soundtracks; however, I have no experience with electronic music. If someone wanted to handle that part, I would be more than happy to come up with the other half.

    I second everything you said. Maybe there's not enough fans of the game and its soundtrack among ocr artists?

    But I don't think Darke would let me try this even if I could, so lol.

    lol this came like lightning out of a clear sky. And well over half of the tracks have been claimed. Oh well, that's SMRPG, all you gotta do is put the name up there and everyone will go "oh yeah, I wants to be a part of that."

    edit: ToN, is there going to be some theme genre-wise with the discs based on different regions? When I read the OP I was like "they're gonna make this a thing" when you explained how the first disc is east-something region, the second one is south etc.
