Guild Wars 2

So. I’ve noticed that some of the Heart Quests have been fine tuned!

Weldone!

for instant, there are 3 changes that I’ve noticed so far in Metrica Province. Which never made sense to me when I was completing them before with my other characters, one was at “The Opticalium” where (before) one have to kill the sparks , get a globe, put then in the storage tank, and we kill another sparks that spawn from it, again and again until we filled up the heart. which in my opinion was, ergh!

{Now} one have to get charged by the sparks and proceed to fill the storage tank with a time limit. ! I like a lot. It made more sense.

And one other with the Blue, Green and Yellow keycards,. nice

I won’t spent any more time here typing, you know what you did ArenaNet. And this is something I think I needed to come here and say my Thank You personally.

THANK YOU

Edit:
By the way, the yellow chat box prompt ! nice! yeah, and that is what the prompt was saying in the title. “You have your own atmosphere, bring it to the storage tank.”

It would appeared that more stuffs have been fine tune! Time to make new character people :P

They also killed off a huge amount of the really fun things to do in lowbie zones.

No more golem chess.

Do not remind me, it is so depressing how they gutted the low level experience.

Metrics say players are dumb, so lets make the content match!

So they took a chess game out….big deal. Many quests were improved. Overall I feel the NPE is a huge improvement. Not everyone agrees with that but the gate does in fact swing both ways. I have leveled 2 characters to level 80 since that patch and have another to level 45. Its really just not as big a deal as some say

many of the hearts have been massively simplified, in my personal opinion, that’s not an improvement.

Interacting with objects to do things was “too complex”, now we dance with cows instead of feed them and we rub corn better instead of water it.

Might just be me, but if metrics say this is the way to go, then MMO players are getting stupider and stupider

It’s not MMO players per say that are getting stupider, it’s the general population. MMO’s are just catering to that ever growing group of people. It sounds bad, but is there an easier person to get money from than someone who is stupid? No surprise gaming companies are realizing that and reacting appropriately.

To me, the idea of rubbing a head of corn takes this game waaay into Mature category :o How could they do such a thing?!

Sure it’s not a big deal. The point though is why? It was just one of those little side-activities that gave the world a feeling of life. Of fun. Of flavor. It was conflicting with nothing. It got in nobody’s way, and gave a little grin to people. Why take it away? Surely the New Player Experience is only lessened by removing something that livens up the world. The NPE is not for you. The NPE is for new players. Wouldn’t a new player be more blown away with GW2 if he stumbled across a little side-game of chess he could participate in, than if it were merely static background? ANet takes away from the game when they take stuff away from the game. Even something as trivial as this. And eventually the little things add up.

Alot of the things started to change after the chinese release and it is really not certain if Anet has alot to say in these matters.

Anet takes care of development. Yes, Ncsoft used to give them alot of freedom and they probably still do however Ncsoft as the publisher in addition to chinese publisher can affect the way Anet directs the game. Gaming publishers take care of the profit department and if they require a game taking a specific direction to make more profit, I don’t hink the devs have so much to say about that.

I do agree that GW2 may attract more people if it became easier to understand however getting rid of the mini-games and some of the more casual details in the early zones is a bit hard to understand as it can’t really affect the gameplay in a negative way.

NCSoft isn’t just the publisher, ANet is a subsidiary of NCSoft, unfortunately.
