Do you think that the game modes should be renamed?

[Zetsumei]

With recent discussions about the naming of the game modes, I just wondered what you guys think. (This is in no way an official poll or anything just something I wonder about myself).

Do you think that the game modes should be renamed:
Yes - Classic needs to be renamed
Yes - Realism needs to be renamed
Yes - Classic and Realism need to be renamed
No - I think the names are fine
Indifferent - I don't care about the name

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yes, they should have been renamed, but quite honestly it should have been a long time ago.

At this time, its mostly pointless.

 

[Clowndoe]

I'm indifferent in the sense that I just couldn't choose and now regret having voted that option. I honestly can't decide if it's important enough that they should be fixed or left as-is to not further confusion.

Eh, I think it's too late now. It would only confuse/frustrate the playerbase even more. And this is a playerbase that loves to be frustrated.

what i know exactly is that "realism" must be renamed. Because this is not a "realism", its just not realistic. There is another game mode which is much more realistic by all parameters. Also mode description must be changed

 

[VietViking]

Changing the name of Realism doesn't make much sense to me because it was just cause unnecessary confusion to the current Realism player base, because to them they've already played that mode for so long and will scramble to find out which new name is the game mode they were playing. Just a classic name change wouldn't do this and could potentially attract new players if it sounds more appealing.

I know renaming them won't work out,but maybe add something to them.Like this:
Action(Beginner)
Realism(Standard)
Classic(Advanced)

great idea

I'm all for a name change for both, especially Classic, however since Yosh has specifically said it's not going to happen, this is purely a philosophical discussion.

The best bet for a way to rename Classic would be for Admins to name their servers in a more enticing manner. "(Clan name) BadAss HardcoreTastic mode Server" for example.....

 

[Kleist]

A rename coulndn

 

[Cwivey]

I chose indifferent because I play on whatever servers that run well and feel right for me.


To avoid confusion about potential names though guys, I would avoid using existing names for different modes. So Classic shouldn't be called Realism etc. And avoid being demeaning to the guys that play the other modes.

I don't think it will help anymore but I voted yes for classic and realism.
what I really wish, is that we could vote to just have one mode and just all deal with it.

 

[Clowndoe]

I figured it out:

You invert the names, servers keep the realism tag but they're actually playing classic gameplay. People don't notice, and boom! 24/7 full classic servers.

 

[Andreson]

No, I'm fine with the names.

 

[LordKhaine]

This.

The current names don't really make any sense. But it's what people are used to and too late to go back and change it.

Actually Classic is the most accurate name for the game mode at the moment, its just not very enticing or exciting.

 

[Blitzk.-Bob]

"Classic" is fine for the game mode, it's not realistic nor authentic, it's just closer to the RO1 gameplay.

 

[Moskeeto]

"Classic" is fine for the game mode, it's not realistic nor authentic, it's just closer to the RO1 gameplay.

I agree. Though if we were going for a name change, I would go for "Beginner, Standard, Tactical".

 

[Kowalczyk]

I really have mixed feelings about what the new names should be, but like several people have said, at this point, it won't make much difference and may cause confusion.

But ... how about the kind of names you get in the single player skill levels, so if we name them according to the kind of players we might expect, we might have:

Action ---Recruits
Realism---Veterans
Classic----Heroes

I know! Realism isnt really less difficult than Classic, but Realism is for more experienced players, and Classic just would sound epic!

 

[Proud_God]

Ideally, Realism and Classic wouls share the same core gamplay. The only difference between these modes would then be the progression system. Then the modes could be renamed to:
Realism - Progressive (replaces current Realism)
Realism - Standard (replaces current Classic)

Defining this shared core gameplay is the real task ofcourse.
