Taking the first steps in virtual gaming reality, a beginner always encounters difficulties. Some people get confused in the control buttons, others do not understand how the character’s abilities work, others cannot adequately communicate with teammates due to a simple misunderstanding of slang. When mastering MMORPGs, a person will always end up in a situation where he will need the help of a more experienced player. However, sometimes in response to the cherished: "Well, I am now," you can hear the strange: "I farm." What does it mean? Should I be offended by such a refusal?
The meaning of the phrase "I farm." What is it and what is better to use
First of all, it is worth noting that this expression has the same meaning in all existing games. Regardless of whether a person masters the colorful BNS or wins the champion title in DotA, the meaning of the expression will not change. “Farmly” - what is it all the same? In plain language, this is nothing but earning the internal currency of the game by killing monsters and raising the coveted drop from their bodies. It is worth noting that in MMORPG farm it is not so much filling the wallet with gold as filling the inventory with things that can be sold at auction or in the shop of any merchant. This also includes rare coins, medals, everything that cannot be bought for money, but is very necessary for crafting or buying special armor and weapons. In this case, the execution of tasks can be called pharmacy, in return for which they give the aforementioned gifts.
What is farm for?
From the first paragraph of the article, we can draw a simple conclusion: this is necessary to gain an advantage over other players. In games of the MMORPG genre, a person does not always strive for this goal, others find pleasure in communicating with co-guilds or in performing story assignments. Best of all, the trend of increasing benefits is traced in the famous MOVA. When playing Dota, a person must come across a phrase from a teammate: "I farm." What does this mean in this case and why is it so important? To win in Dota, you need to put together a lot of factors: the ability to play, knowledge of the abilities of the characters, the choice of strong heroes who interact well with each other, and, of course, mutual understanding in the team. If we consider a situation where both competing teams have all of this, then the one whose Keri is better to farm will win. The quick receipt of key artifacts gives an advantage in an equal situation, and, if used correctly, the outcome of the battle will be a foregone conclusion.
How to farm fast?
To answer this question, you need to look at your hero, at his abilities and ask yourself: how can they be used effectively? In "DotA" not every player can safely say: "In this match I farm." What does it mean? And why does this happen? In addition to the ability to correctly apply aoe abilities for quick farming, it is important to be able to effectively earn gold even at the lining stage: the secret of the line won is in the maximum number of finished enemy creeps. The next factor is the player’s ability to understand the situation in the game. If he competes in a team with which he has the ability to maintain voice communication in Skype, the process of climbing to victory is simplified. But often the player practices alone. To understand where it is better to farm, it is enough to analyze the information coming from the minimap and from teammates. If it is clearly visible that the enemy heroes are concentrated at the top, you should move to the lower part, where no one will interrupt the process of earning gold.
Newbie Mistakes
Farm is a huge responsibility. A big mistake is an attempt to participate in fights with the team if the character has not yet been purchased with a minimum number of key artifacts: it is still difficult to win the battle this way. With a high degree of probability, the enemy will only strengthen his advantage. If a person sees that his team does not understand how to behave in this situation, in no case should he repeat their wrong actions. It will be more correct to continue to farm, to engage in split-push, taking part only in those fights where it is guaranteed that you can earn gold and survive. In the case of MMORPGs, the situation does not change much. A person who has not dressed the character in suitable armor is unlikely to be able to successfully pass with the dungeon team, and certainly is not able to participate in massive or single-player pvp battles.
So is it worth it to be offended by the refusal of help if a person is busy with the farm?
If we are talking about "DotA" or any other MOBA, a teammate should make a complaint if he had the opportunity to save you and not be harmed at the same time, but he did not. Dying along with a sluggish person, he would only take a step closer to the victory of the enemy. In MMORPG, everything depends only on the player and his relationship with the one he asked for help. Here the situation does not always put the gamer in a position where he cannot refuse to farm without any consequences.
