The Eye – 11, again?
It seems like yet another post is going to be used with this title, but what can you do?
The suggestion from the last time was a real squad mission, but other than that no other suggestions or thoughts have been brought up to light yet. Three has answered that they can play tomorrow at 13:00 so a session will take place. The question now which needs a pretty swift answer for better result is; do you have any requests of any kind for this session?
One thing that came to light from extensive discussions yesterday is that some in the group feel like its slow paced and that you doesn’t progress anything not to add that some of you seems to be a little disatisfied with their characters. Are anyone willing to put their opinions and thought out there for the others and to discuss this further?
Any thoughts on any of the matters?
Best Regards,

People dead?
Except the squad mission thingey, its pretty empty at the moment, atleast when it comes in requesting anything specific, thats what I want atleast, a quest of some importance with an chance of maybe getting a promotion.
And about the other question, well I mostly think the pace in the eye has been alittle slow, these cadet and recruit stuff feels pretty basic(which is the point) but its isnt that fun to linger too long at these ranks. I kind of wanna move forward abit faster I guess.
And I guess im not that happy at the moment with my character, it might get better, but I dont wanna switch either, atleast not yet, so I guess I will roll with the one I have at the moment.
Well, since you are playing non remarkable characters you have to do it in this pace. If you want to proceed faster you need to do something remarkable or make great efforts to proceed faster. That’s one alternative.
The other is to change the speed of play. To a much faster instance play instead. Where we might cover a year of events in just a few sessions. This is one of the better alternatives since the first one might risk enormous setbacks and failures.
It’s an old play-style but we’ve done it before and it works the same. It won’t be like training precisely but it will be more event-instance like. This also eliminates the biggest problem you all seem to have now, coming up with something to do when you don’t have an expressed goal.
So what says you?
Well, I guess alternative two would work pretty smooth if people want to do it that is. but I dont know if I wanna speed up things for everything, I just kind of wanna get to the point where you start getting or chance to take quests that is abit more interesting instead of hunting coyotes or finding an random herb peddler.
Personally I’m not dissatisfied with my character, even though I got another one I would like to play.
I don’t think that the pace is slow per se, to use someone’s favorite word, but in the context of us not having that many sessions a week I think the instance thing might be a good idea to get things going.
Instance play is the method we used in AFC where we played some events and then determined what we did the rest of the time or is it something else?
Something else.
I only just noticed the update, it seems my RSS bookmarks refuse to update for some reason.
Anyway, I’m up for the faster instance play you mentioned.
Just to make it clear, I just offered a suggestion to what could be done, not what should be done or what I’ll do.
The question is, do you WANT this or do you still want to try in the same way as before in hope that things will change?
As we discussed yesterday I feel that I kind of lack direction with my character, atleast in the short term and certainly in a long term concrete fashion. This will probably sort itself out if we keep playing but I feel that I need to find Tatsuo a more concrete in game goal to aim for in the Eye. Hopefully I’ll think of something to give more direction soon.
I want to try the instanced play style, nothing prevents us from switching back later right?
No, but it would be good if we doesn’t change play-style all the time.
If its talk about changing play style abit more permanently, then I rather have it as it is now, and hope it gets better instead.
If we change it will be like that for an “arc” or until you gain the freedom you strive for. I won’t change back and forth, that is what I’m saying.
Let’s try the old way for atleast one more session then. Your suggestion doesn’t sound bad to me though.
