Now, with the new trait system we are only able to use the trait system at lv30 and throwing 5 points at a time into a trait line.
This new thingy was implemented to so that “spending traits will be much easier for new players to understand” and wouldn’t “wind up with a less effective build”. Lets not forget that with this patch, we are able to reset traits points on the go. This allows newbies to easily alter their traits after messing up their current configuration.
Even if new players do mess up their trait lines and have an ineffective build, doesnt the free resets of trait points suffice to fix it? The hardest part of that would be locating the hero panel and I am sure that is something you should already know at lv10(previous trait system). I feel that there really isn’t a need to condense the trait system to the lv30 mark. The free and instant trait reset should already cover newbies messing their trait lines up.
The condensing of the trait system does not help newbies understand the trait system better, it kills the UNDERSTANDING of it and forces you to make right decisions at the expense of everyone that already knows how to use it. Players see the one new trait point as an indication of progress, nerfing PvE won’t give players the satisfaction of leveling and using that one trait point. The only reason I made it to lv 24 with my warrior is because of the personal story line which I am able to continue with once every two levels due to having a level disadvantage. This makes the other half a much painful process and having that one trait point really relieves me off this agony.
What I am saying, is that the only bad part (or only that I’ve experienced thus far) of the new trait system would be condensing the trait points to be usable at lv30.
What I want and hope other players do want, is to give us back the old system that we would start traiting at lv10. Everything else can remain the same. (probably)
For those getting kittened and all, we should consider this. There will always be features we do not enjoy and features we do enjoy, we should view Anet’s success in patches through —-—> Number of features we enjoy/Total no. of features.
Example by me:
Pros
1.Free trait resets on the go.
2.New traits(I do find some useful)
3.Earning traits
Cons:
1.Traiting at 30.
That is 3/4, all in all Anet did well.
