Ahh, that sweet hit of dopamine. Consciously or not, it’s something that we chase in our MMORPG journeys. There’s nothing quite like the rush you get when you pull off a strong combo, down a powerful boss, or pull your group out of the fire (that it was standing in, of course).
Yet different types of players get their dopamine injection from various activities. Today I wanted to narrow it down to two core activities that we perform in MMOs: healing and killing. Which gives you more of a rush? Does it happen often or is it under certain circumstances only?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
