Guild Wars 2

So the new feature Patch has a new leveling system and have to say it was unnecessary to do so. Going to discuss the new personal story update and leveling system.
The ability to just get a weapon item and gradually learn new attacks by simply using the weapon over time worked great for the flow of gameplay.

1. This allowed the new players to test out their newly acquired weapon and at the same time learning how the game works.

2. This taught new players that every weapon skill was crucial in a fight and also taught them when it was good to use these skills.

3. This allowed players to move more freely in the world and feel like they are accomplishing something. Having it locked to your level is more restrained and feels less of an accomplishment and more of a requirement.

Now with personal story if it is going to be locked to level ten at the very least bring this lock down to level 5. Having the story locked to level 10 just halts your immersion. At the beginning of the game you make your character and do a quick story introduction. Then the game gives you a quick heart mission and you are back to getting into the story. Having the game halt your story to level ten feels less apart of the game and more of a mechanic that unlocks at level ten. It feels more of a chore then it does being apart of a grander story. personally I preferred the old way of getting a personal story since the flow felt natural.

One last thing is gamers are not as slow in learning a game as you think. It doesn’t require holding their hand. when learning to play a game it is about being immersed into the world without being told what you are doing. Show don’t Tell. A charater learns when they experiment, and finds out new things by discovering it themselves. Yes it’s okay to give hints to help out a new player, and yes it’s okay to help them understand the gameplay, but it does not need to be locked to require that player to understand the game. The more open the game is, the more the player feels like they have a choice in the game.

Any other things that I may have missed please post. And thank you

The removal of the “fear” storyline and the unnecessary mixing up of chapter 7 & 8 of the personal story with all its inconsistencies just makes me want to shake my head.

What were they thinking?

What were they thinking?

Probably is because that content wasnt good for the China version. Just take in consideration that the Great Fear story line involve dead people you are directly responsable and probably atached, remember the fate of some norn.

And yeah, they shipped us the Chinesse version…

The great fear storyline involved dead people? yeah, it did….so does the whole continent of orr which is literally crawling with dead people. But they didn’t cut out that part did they? If they can keep orr in the china-version with all its zombies and dead people, I’m sure there is no reason to cut out the “fear”-part.

Read the complete sentence…. Didnt want to put spoilers, im refering to Apatia and Tonn deaths.

Then explain to me why china wants to censor dead people you’re attached to opposed to dead people who you’re not attached to.

You can spoiler all you want. Those storylines are gone afterall.

Sorry, you are right in the spoiler part, just hoping it come back again, still i edited my post. The China version sensures great part of the gore, etc… having a history that makes the player feel responsable for the dead, connect them and put a real sad ends as Apatia can be too much for the China polices, so getting a specific rate of age for the gam e could be more difficult.

Example of Chinas situation in gaming:

“At the youth’s home, police found a rope. Additionally, police found some online games on the youth’s phone with bloody scenes, and have hence extrapolated that the youth may have been imitating video games and fallen by accident.”

So if this is because of China then can’t we have it so that it is just censored in that country and not the rest? I really enjoy these character choices.

Been trying to complete the personal story to start season 2 and this has also happened. Trahearne freezes at the second alter and the dialogue goes to return to Fort Trinity. Defeated all platforms, but Center platform nothing happens. Tried it 5 times now and with different people. Hope it gets fixed soon. Can’t wait to continue the story.
