my beta feedback
I think the night-day cycle felt a bit wierd indeed. the night can get a bit more events and stuff going on. Although it was usefull to explore the place a bit better.
My personal feedback.
All in all, the vertical element of the map is awesome. I do think that it is a bit too much. Specially the lack of a horizon means that often you don’t even know if you are going up and down. Maybe add a vertical spirit level meter to the game (that can be turned off) to help fix this. It doesn’t have to be big, just something small on the side.
The revenant has great potential. It is a bit wierd being dropped in it at a level 80 map with no experience with the class at all. Although I really like the idea of swapping your utility skills, I do miss the ability to go ranged (played mostly mace/axe). I would suggest to make the utility skills, atleast for one legendary, a bit more focussed on ranged. This so you have an option to go ranged, independant of the weapon you choose.
As for the ambient sounds…
I really really love them….but some of them are a bit too mechanical. I’ll explain this with a real life situation. I used to have a doorbell that had the same sound as a buzzer in a tv show in my country. So every time I watched that show, I used to have a pavlov reaction to go to the door to see who’s there. With the ambient sounds it is a bit the same. It sounds too digital and too loud all the time so you are asking if it something in your home or elsewhere. Specially when you got the headset on. So I really advice to turn them down a bit.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
