Poor people who write story

Igozorus · January 23

Just thought about these people at Kabam who write story for every monthly quest and who wrote all the rest of the story for the game. How are they? Do they pour their soul into it?
I imagine not many people read it... I used to when I started, like for a few weeks or so and never more. I doubt many people read the story for the quests...

So just interested to know, how much of the time the team spend on the story side of the game? Are they passionate about it?
I just thought of them as "poor", because if they pour their hearts into it and nobody reads it... I felt sad for them

Some of us read all the dialogue and enjoy doing so. I’m sure we’re a minority, but we exist

Act 8 lore was fire tho, I liked reading through it

I always accidentally skip the dialogue without thinking. I used to read it all the time. I miss reading it.

I literally will just do 1 run of TB EQ for the story most months

We have jack black at home is a really cool guy. Wish we saw him more

I always read the story on my first pass through content. When I accidentally skip it, I’ll fully close the app just to refresh it and get a chance to see it.

Hopefully he doesn't get discouraged to write. I read and enjoy the stories of the EQs

They don't work for free. The writers might not be millionaires but no need to call them poor.

If they're freelance, it's one of many thankless gigs writing copy no one reads, but with some silly Marvel IP to make it more fun than, say, spec scripts for CSI: Bumf*** or Buzzfeed lists. As long as the check clears and they're not replaced by AI, it's a job.

I read the story, once, then I skip it for every other pass.

The writing is mostly top notch work.

Never ever read the story except few dialogues here and there. It's not that interesting either . It's also a complete waste of time because people anyways spend lot of time playing the game.

Anyone who has been reading them for years is either unemployed who has lotta free time or a total marvel freak .

Yikes. It takes a couple extra minutes to read it and some people like stories in their games

Even if you think it’s a waste of time, that whole unemployed comment is so out of pocket

Indeed we do. We are facing imminent extinction, but we're still clinging on

Congrats, you've just posted one of the most annoying and obnoxious comments I've ever seen.

You’re not a lot of fun, are you?

Such a short post, but you were able to be wrong in it so much

Even if you don’t care about the plot, since it’s generally an excuse for superbeings punching each other in the face repeatedly, there are some hilarious quotes thrown in. Like Mysterio’s absolutely brutal line here.

This was actually so funny when I originally saw it, that I made it a sticker on Discord.

I spent more time watching the spinny "I don't feel like loading yet" icon and it's friend, the "nah bro, it's not me it's you" connection dropout than I ever have reading the dialogue.

Given you've nearly caught up to my post count, with 3 years less time on the forum I think you're either unemployed, have a lot of free time or you're a total marvel freak.

Not surprised about this horrible take. People harshly judge others for simple things that harms no one.

I read the main Story closely, that one's a banger.

SQ I used to read until I noticed a pattern. Either way you will end up fighting the new champ, so depending on their standing:

Villain - this new champ has some evil plot, kick their butt to stop them

Hero - they are either possessed, lost sight of who's friend or not, or they just wanna test your strength.

Mercenary - something between the previous two.

So it is enough to read the first dialogue and then the boss ones.

I personally read all of the story , makes the gameplay more immersive and if I'm being honest the story team does a pretty good job on them

You forgot another one
The Hero you're fighting is ACTUALLY an adaptoid, scrull or some evil variant

Simple guide on how to farm disagrees on forum by Rohit_316.

Horrible take bro, You can't label something entirely waste/trash when someone's entire paycheck revolves around that.

Poor people who write story
