A Fresh Start: The New Player Experience in Guild Wars 2
Sorry in advance if i am not giving good feedback.
I am posting because of my thoughs on making a new character since the recent(Aug.) feature pack update.
I have made 12+ new characters since I first bought Guild Wars 2 and I have 3 copies of the game(one for my friend). The experience of making a new character has been enjoyable every time, sometimes I will want to level quickly sometimes I will take my time, but since “The New Player Experience” that has not been the case.
After making so many characters I would like to be able to disable the constant reminders about things like how to move or click a waypoint after I’ve died. It also seems that a lot of content was taken away from me since now we only get 1 weapon skill at a time, no second hand weapon till leveling, no underwater, and no downed skills. When I first read the update it made sense that this many different things could cause confusion but I’m a casual gamer and I had no issues with it(I am well aware that everyone is different, but i am really a mediocre player at best). When I bought the game for a friend who was not a gamer at all, it did take him some time but he didn’t have difficulty enjoying the game from the start. I think most people who wants to play a MMO would not have been overwhelmed at the previous structuring.
So what I would like to see is reverting back to the old system, though since that will probably not happen, alternatively having at least the ability to turn off the help/reminders completely would be nice.
If this is redundant of other posts i am sorry searching for a similar topic yielded no results for me.
Update: Changing my update it seems(unless I’m missing something) they undid the forcing you to next part of you personal story. Yay for that.
Well I have just started and made a few Characters and Like you say the messages about how to do things gets old real fast… I think there needs to be a UI option to turn hints off account wide….
