But the Looter also had a brief appearance in the nineties when he fought Ben Reilly (at the time replacing Peter as Spider-Man), and in this appearance he forwent meteor gas for using equipment from other super villains, which I thought would be a fun gimmick to lean into.
#Belan the looter series
I've completely reinterpreted his meteor huffing into his StarGOD powered gauntlets, which is about as "cosmic" as my series gets, considering its link to Man-Wolf. But I wanted to get as many Ditko era characters in here as I could, so here he is. He's got a classic Ditko esque design, but his gimmick is just too goofy to take seriously.

He is a classic Ditko era villain, though definitely one of the more forgotten ones.
#Belan the looter crack
The inclusion of insurance and the pixel crack addiction that came with it killed our precious UO.But about that Looter character! In the comics he was, no lie, some dude who huffed gas that came out of meteors to give him super strength. I made quite a name for myself as a disarm thief on the Felluca side of the Atlantic shard and it was a ton of fun.Īge of Shadows is what killed it. This gave rise to iconic characters such as Crazy Joe and Belan the Looter.

You could also loot people in Trammel back in those days.

There was still plenty of risk and challenge to be had and there were still a lot of people running around Felluca. People now had the choice to engage in PVP when they wanted to. On the contrary, UO experienced a subscription boom when Trammel was released. Rant away with your nonsense and poor logic. So to Blizzard and the other 11 million people WOW is anything but a failure but hey lets not let facts get in your way. WOW has no fear, no challenge and no loss and yet it makes way more money then EVE could ever hope to make and has more subs then CCP could ever dream up having. For any online game to succeed there has to be fear, challenge and loss and the satisfaction you get when you beat those and triumph!!!ĭepends on what you call fail. The game become boring and the whole reason of the game PvP (realm combat) was ruined.Īll games that come pre-nerfed to be carebear friendly always fail because there is simply no challenge, There was no fear or challenge to the frontiers only blobs. Subs started declining because you couldn't now get any intel and the only option was to zerg, leading to massive stand offs for hours at a time. So they nerfed stealth so you couldn't be invisible and over night masses of characters lost their role and reason for being there. Carebears fed up of being killed, even though they new the frontiers were not safe started whining. Rogue characters could be invisible on the battlefields, but had to uncloak to attack. The challenge was removed, subs dropped and the game died. This removed most classes and skills, over simplifying the game and gave everyone the option to start as a jedi. Then you *had* to be a jedi to compete in PvP so the NGE was released. Holocrons were issued as a 'gift', Now everybody wanted to be a jedi. The game didn't then have any risk and so no challenge, subs dropped and it died.Ĭarebears wanted to be a jedi and couldn't be bothered to grind, pvp or explore. If any game designer listens to carebears the mmo dies!Ĭarebears whined about getting killed in the unsafe areas so Trammel opened without pvp and everyone left Felluca. I sincerely hope not, but carebears are indeed the MMO cancer, they ruined UO (and every other good MMO in the market, see SWG). Thats exacly what carebears want to do in EvE
#Belan the looter full
The game is god awful now, but a carebears absolutely sweetest heaven, full of opportunities for massive gold-accumulation and nothing to spend it on. Subscriptions dropped off massively and it never recovered. Everyone went mob-killing (ratting) in the best gear (deadspace) instead of basic blacksmithed (t2) gear, no one cared about ore/minerals anymore, etc, etc. In the new world, there was quite literally zero risk, so the economy got completely ****** and inflated. If you stayed in the old world, you got double the resources you did in the new one, but at the same usual risk. One half was the way it was before, the other half was pvp-free. You could steal from people, poison them, etc. The economy was extremely well balanced, pvp was frenetic, twitchy and had an extremely high skill cap. Housing, PKs, full loot, all that good ****. Can someone explain what the **** you are talking about so we can start trolling?
