Gunslinger comes out on the 9th?

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Wiki Home
 
 
..because people can be expected to know how to play a new skill set before it comes out.
 

 

Hence why I'm saying what I'm saying. They're jumping into the pool without having tested the water. You're given a wiki full of resources, even those that are on these new skills. You're given the chance to learn to play the new skill set before it comes out. But nop. Full head-first dive to the pool of ice cold water.

As for excitement and eagerness, I'm not disallowing them to be. But there comes a point where that excitement gets obnoxious, and constantly asking for release dates is one of those points.

please tell me, how can reading about these skills show me what it's like to play with them.

Since you apparently missed my sarcasm, standard user does not have any outlet to test the gameplay of a new skill, hence they are eager to try it out when it comes. We have no opportunity to play the new skill set before it comes out.

I'm guessing you don't know what "YouTube" is.

And don't worry, your sarcasm wasn't missed.

watching and playing are very different things.

I never said they were the same. But watching achieves what you wanted, getting an idea of what the gameplay is like, learning how to use it, studying the gameplay before it comes out. Oh wait, isn't that what

this was all about?!

 

That was sarcasm, you cannot expect someone to know what it feels like to play a skillset, or really how to properly execute before it's out and they have a chance to try for themselves, and watching only shows you what it looks like, not what it feels like. There is and always will be a huge disconnect between seeing and doing.

You can watch a youtube video 1000 times and watch someone pull off something cool or amazing, but that doesn't tell you what it feels like to pull it off, or how difficult it is in general.

You simply cannot watch something and know how fun it is to do it.

For the last time, yes, I know that was sarcasm.

And again, like I said, I know they're two different things. That does not prevent you from learning about it (the entire point of this?).

 

Because it's the same youtube videos which get people excited and make them want to try it. It just seems like you feel this sentiment of theirs is in error.

Personally, I do feel videos can replace gameplay experience of how skills work IF you have very descriptive text, but that's besides the point. Why are you two talking about it? Not like it will help or harm the wiki or change anything about it, lets just end it here.
