The Heralds serve their purpose in telling a player what is happening, but I had this concept when I talked to one of them and they said, “So, you’ve been to Queen Jennah’s Crown Pavilion? I bet that’s a sight to see!”
To that, my character says, “It is.”
Firstly, how bland and unconversational!
Secondly, what if the player could then pick responses to tell the Herald exactly what he thought?
- It was fun, but there were too many people in the lower section for me to concentrate on the Queen’s Gauntlet!
- I killed the same menace seventeen times and he came right back again! Why?
- Queen’s Gauntlet is just too hard.
- It was fun for a while, but I want to go back into the world… where is everyone?
Little responses like these will allow ArenaNet to poll players and let their voices be heard.
