Fast-paced combat en los MMORPG

#3 Error: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn-based_MMORPG

El termino fast-paced es referente al combate y se ha hecho alusion al termino en multitud de casos/juegos.

Es un termino aplicado al combate/accion/reaccion no a una decadencia de calidad en graficos o lo que quiera que hayas insinuado con lo del WAR/RIFT.

#7 Que es precisamente lo que yo digo, repito por si acaso

Fast-paced: el combate es en tiempo real, accion/reaccion instantaneas.

Turn-paced: el combate no es en tiempo real, tienes un tiempo que marca las pautas entre tus acciones y las del contrario.

No se que pintan los graficos aqui.

Una de las primeras cosas que se dijeron sobre el FFXIV (y lo dijo en un comunicado de prensa la propia SE) es que FFXIV seria mas fast-paced que el XI (cosa que luego fue un fail, aunque estan intentando ir por ese camino.)

Creo que teneis un concepto del termino bastantate erroneo sobre lo que realmente significa.

#9 Cito de mmorpg, articulo sobre Rift:

• It makes for a fun, fast paced game. The game play is much faster than WoW.
• The creators of RIFT have done several other things to create a much faster paced game than WoW.

Tengo curiosidad por entender que termino realmente quieres usar StumKrav, o mejor dicho, que entiende tu mente por el concepto (erroneo claro esta) sobre Fast-paced.

#15 Lo que has descrito es precisamente el tipo de combate fast-paced: dinamico, fluido, suave.
Aplica eso a un turn based... no puedes.

Rift es turn based eh?
Wow es turn based eh?
War es turn based eh?
Vindictus es turn based eh?
Dragon nest es turn based eh?

Final Fantasy (que mira por donde pone en la wikipedia que es precisamente todo lo contrario) es fast paced eh?
etc...

Real-time vs. turn-based gameplay

A debate has emerged between fans over real-time and turn-based video games (usually some type of strategy or role-playing game) based on the merits each system.[25][26][27][28][29]
Various arguments are made by proponents. Arguments made in favor of turn-based systems include:
Players are able to plan their moves to a greater degree given the extra time available to them,[30][31][11] allowing game designers to cater to these players by offering additional tactical and gameplay options.[1][32][11] The same options when used in combination with the time-pressures of real-time games, on the other hand, can cause new players to feel overwhelmed.[11]
Games are more fair due to a lack of reliance upon player reflexes.[1] A player with slower reflexes is not at a disadvantage compared to faster players; rather, only the ability to think through and solve the current problem is important.
Games can in theory have better artificial intelligence due to the greater amount of computer processing power available to them.[30][32]
It is more realistic to control multiple units intelligently using this system, as players do not have to divide their attention among multiple independent units all moving simultaneously.[25][30] Likewise, it is easier to keep track of what the enemy is doing at all times since the player is typically informed of every move in advance (not taking into account fog of war).[1]
Arguments made in favor of real-time systems include:
Armies pausing mid-combat to take turns and act in a sequential manner is unrealistic. Real-life combat occurs simultaneously with no side pausing to let the other side move.[27][30]
Thinking (and acting) quickly is part of the strategy[30] and constitutes an additional element of challenge.[1][30]
Real-time systems are viscerally exciting[26][33] and add to players' sense of immersion.[1][33][11] Players feel more like they are really "there" and experiencing game events first-hand.
Turn-based games have too many rules and are difficult to master. [27][33]
Real-time games are more multiplayer-friendly.[11] Sitting around and waiting while other players take their turns can become tiresome,[27][30][11] and can be used as means of retribution against a winning player.
The added element of a shared clock ensures that each situation cannot be reduced to an easily repeatable sequential series of steps. Rather, the reliance upon player timing introduces an element of chaos and ensures that outcomes are highly variable.[11]
