No surprise here. Yahtzee always boast about himself being an oldschool PC gaming masterrace type of gamer, but in the end of the day, his favourite games are action games, and doesn't like oldschool stuff.
maybe if you only started playing mm after 6 came out... the system would be less stupidly gamey if it allowed higher tier trainers to also train one (or all) tier below their own, but the way it currently exists, which i assume is also how it looks in the 6-9 trilogy, is just bad.
I was going to agree with you until I read Eyeball's post again. He's not complaining about the trainer system or where the trainers are but about the fact you cannot raise the skill above those soft caps until after you get Expert. And THAT did not exist in 6-8, where you could keep pumping points (and benefitting from the skill) even though you didn't get the extra advantage from the skill promotion until you found the trainer. I would have preferred if they kept it the same here too, especially since as I complained earlier all of ten skills cannot be trained to expert until after arbitrary plot points are passed (not to mention how many Master/GM are gated in Karthal, which is pretty much late-game content). MM7 did this too, and I didn't like it there either despite being able to spend the points - it's worse in MMX.
it is a stupid arbitrary design decision that makes little sense (to me). why can a teacher only teach you on a certain level and not the closely related level below it? it's about the same kind of stupid as having class promotions and certain gm trainers cut off by story events. (fuck you freemage promo)
makes sense for one or two, not all of them... and we aren't talking basics, we're talking master taught by gm trainer.
Those are four games: 6, 7, 8, 9.
possibly an oversight as it happens to very few doors and they do not retrigger any banter when you revisit the location while the doors with normal banter will play some banter again when you reload the map, even if the door is already open. they might have placed triggers for that banter manually and overlooked a few...
I haven't done it yet, but apparently it has a very nice trick- people are saying 'use the mouse to look around'.
