Guild Wars 2

First of all:
Thank you ArenaNet for the great nerve of difficulty in world 2.

When I first started playing world 2 I was like: “Oh okay.. if that’s the difficulty of world 2. How are they supposed to top it in world 3 and world 4.”

The Super Adventure Box tries to emulate the classic games we – or at least some of us – used to play. It’s usual – for classic games especially – to have an increasing difficulty the further you get. In SAB World 2 before the patch it felt like the change of difficulty from world 1 to world 2 was too big. With this patch world 2 seems to have a much better difficulty. Now I hope you won’t make World 3 too difficult to not match to the increase of difficulty from World 2 to 4.

I also hope the Super Adventure Box will stay open forever once Moto finished the game. I know many people “Ugh Super Adventure Box sucks, it has nothing to do with Guild Wars” but I’d really love to look into it every now and then enjoying a classic adventure.

The idea of having a flute that lets you learn and play several songs with effect is really awesome.

Those songs are extremely useful. Back when the secret song didn’t exist it felt like a pain to find the secrets. Having the secrets attached to achievements was horrible. Now that the flute with the secret song exists those achievements are pretty fair.

I’m not a fan of kaizo Mario so I really didn’t enjoy the hardmode except a few places (for example World 2-3: the first half). At first I imagined hardmode to be something like:

- less heal item drop
- no heal items in shops
- losing twice the health (e.g. poison water ticks 1 heart and monkeys that hit you take 2 hearts)
- more enemies
- increased difficulty in jumping passages
- removing certain npc’s or objects (e.g. some of the crocodiles in World 2-1)

I really enjoy playing the Super Adventure Box and I hope more great content as well as a bonus world maybe? (yeah, a 5th secret world would be really awesome)

Edit: Coming to think about the flute. It would be nice to find an upgrade in the later game (ocarina? xDD) with which you can play more than 3 notes and learn songs that uses more than 3 notes.

Good example would be The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: where you first be able to play an ocarina having to learn songs that use 5 notes (up down left right, a)
