I would love to see an integrated forum type system in-game, perhaps in replacement of the News panel, with a communication system between players/factions and a location for up to date info on rules and lore.
Probably incredibly hard to do, but it would be amazing to have essentially "forums in-game."
It would be awesome , though probably we won't ever see it happen.
I can imagine the amount of work it would cost would be immense.
Also if not done really thoroughly I think it would go at the cost of a important chunck of the RP and fun.
The forum RP is a great thing and very enjoyable in my opinion,
It really gives that extra dimension and takes the game far beyond it's intended ways.
So personally I have to disagree that there is too much dependence on the forums,
I see it as another medium to play the same game.
About it getting too complicated,
In my experience its fun to unravel the puzzle piece by piece,
asif you are not intended to see the big picture at all
, but rather slowly evolve and intergrate into the storyline.
You find out little by little , who is who , why faction A does that , and what faction B does in respond,
the multitude of characters you encounter , the ability to see them evolve and do their own thing, etc.
It's a whole universe waiting to be discovered.
Hence the name Discovery.
I think....
The combat aspect is very difficult , I agree.
It takes years of practice to become as good as some of the players are,
at the same time It helps in fight when you have the mindset, not only is there always someone better then me, there must always be someone worse then me too xD
And it shouldn't matter who is best in fighting!
It's not about getting the most kills or being totally badass all the time,
getting your character to successfully run to safety after meeting a stronger opponent can be a victory too,
dying in a spectacular way can even be great fun.
also, practice really does help , at least it gives confidence , and everybody can drop that lucky mine ,
or that lucky razor.
If you find yourself killed by the same person/faction time and time again , simply pm about it , maybe in worst case avoid them for a while , ask for tips , or even increase your activity with said person(s).
I have learned that there's always a solution:)
