My friend and I joined a game called Rift. We’re loving it! It’s a great way to feel like you’re still meeting each other even while the lockdown is going on. Her character is called Yawe (left) and mine is called Vena (right)

Rift is ruining my life again

Trion: please let me spellcheck this expansion’s primary questline’s dialog for you. Please additionally let me formatting-check this expansion’s primary quest-line’s dialog for you. Do you see that unnecessary and internally-inconsistent hyphen I put there Trion do you see how weird and awkward it looks and do you know how many times this expansion’s primary questline’s dialog does stuff like that Trion.

Please let me chronology-check this expansion’s primary questline’s dialog Trion. Please let me fix it so your party members do not refer by name to a character you don’t meet until the end of the quest, during the quest.

Please let me sanity-check this expansion’s primary questline’s dialog for you Trion. Please let me take out the conversation where we learn that the players’ unicorn mounts are miserable and frightened sentient creatures, lost far from their home dimension and mentally “diminished.”

Trion please. Trion. I am dying. It’s not because that sheep one-shotted me this time (I also think you should make that sheep go away please Trion), it’s because you ruined unicorns Trion. They're a horror story now and the player is the horror and if you were trying to make me feel glad that I never got a unicorn then congratulations Trion because YOU SUCCEEDED.

No Trion listen. Weird mounts do not NEED a canon explanation, in much the same way that LOGGING OFF does not need one. It is a generally-accepted CONVENTION that gameplay-facilitating things including BUT NOT LIMITED TO crafting professions, resurrection, and mounts are bricked into the fourth wall, and as such are invisible to MMO NPCs unless they’re breaking it. YOU DID NOT NEED TO HURT UNICORNS IN THIS SPECIFIC FASHION TRION VIDEO GAME COMPANY.

Also, the Pink-Haired Battle Pope can apparently see my horse made of stars that I’m riding while she runs gamely alongside me. So I feel rude riding my stupid space horse now.

#rift #rift mmo #rift game #also there's a joke from 2013 Tumblr memes in there that probably should not be in there #relatively few people reading that dialog are going to know what shyla is talking about #I agree that she uses tumblr Shyla definitely uses tumblr but like #you'd might as well have tasuil say 'this. is. HAILOL!!!!!!'#if you're gonna afflict us with old memes use ones with wider recognition

hey frank, why the long face?

Well, let's see what you're asking for, so I can answer it in whatever context I can.

In game, I feel like most of the time there is an undercurrent of "let's be honest, nobody likes or cares about the players (or the world they create) and they are just doing this because they don't know any other way to spend their time"

This isn't true and can't be; I do like the players (and I like the world they create)

My interest is in writing good stories, for myself. If I could not write good stories, I'd either stop writing at all or start writing bad stories (if I couldn't write bad, I'd stop being able to write at all). This isn't a very charitable view of the world, and while I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like the player characters (for various reasons), it's not a universal experience for everyone, and I don't think it's an important thing to understand in order to play the game or to read my fic

But I've also been in a situation where a lot of people have tried to discourage me, and have done it in a tone that seemed to be saying "if you don't like it, it's just too hard, it's a really hard game, it's difficult to understand the characters and the world, you'll only enjoy it if you just give up"

Which was annoying, but I can't really object to it. I'm not saying that the player characters (or the setting) are hard to grasp (I'm still trying to get my bearings and the story is still not 100% clear to me), but if it was clear they were easy to grasp, I'd quit. "This is a really hard game" was, after all, one of the few pieces of legitimate advice I received on how to play it in the past, when I thought it sounded great but I was scared of it because of the complexity of its interface.

I'm also not sure if it's "that the players don't like it" or "that most of the people don't like it" or "that the players and the people don't like it." Like, I have read people writing fics for months that don't seem to understand the game very well (I've only seen one of them so far that actually seemed to like it, and I think she was a special case, so I'd be surprised if most of the fics I see are bad), and these people write really good stories which are way too advanced for me. And it's not clear what I'm supposed to say about that, to most people, except "they're writing good stories for themselves, I guess."

Achilles debridement surgery number 2 scheduled for Valentine's Day 😲

I'm still playing Rift and I'm back on discord so y'all hit me up the next few months since I'll be completely house bound this time. No driving for up to 2 months 😭

Rift is a free to play MMORPG for pc if anyone is interested in giving it a try. You can find me on Wolfsbane server as Amalexia, Gorjuss, Silvhen or Elevane if you give it a try and want some help or have questions.
