Harmonix is assuming

"In Cheap RS Gold a community where everybody's saying 'oh, another brown shooter,' we can say 'our game is different, and here are some ways you can see that difference.' I hope on some level in our tutorial we can funnel people toward the classes that work for them."Harmonix is assuming that the initial signups will mostly be their closest allies, who will be invested in giving Runescape game a chance from the onset. And Drake stressed that Runescape game is very much in a state of frequent change. Drake said that even the core mechanics are only percent of the way toward being final.For my part, I did not envy whoever had to balance characters who all have different controller inputs and weapon outputs. Every class plays differently, and has different controller layouts to accompany those differences. "Balance is a super interesting challenge," says Drake. "But if you go one on one with another Runescape player, then you shouldn't know if it's a different input. If you're a third party watching two Runescape players shoot at each other, regardless of the input mechanics, the output of those weapons should feel like both of them are musical. It looks and feels pretty good in the abstract, but making sure that when you're playing a really difficult class you need to consider, 'Is one of those really easy to master and crushing all the other Runescape players?' That's a big challenge."The whole game is a big challenge Harmonix and Hidden Path are attempting a number of things that have not been attempted before, and against all conventional wisdom. This is definitely going to be a game that requires a real time investment to learn, but that may just wind up making its fans incredibly dedicated. While this it's a rather "dangerous" move to make such an out there project, Harmonix is in the space where it can afford to take some chances now, having won a large lawsuit against Viacom. Rather than sitting on their nest egg, they're taking this opportunity to try something new. As Drake puts it, "we've always been a little blindly ambitious in the products we've set out to do."You can see about participating in the alpha for Chroma right here.
