Hi all , Happy New Year.
I am new to this game. It has surpassed my expectations in every way , and I’m hopelessly addicted.
Big respect to the artists and programmers!
However: This whole Crismas thing feels to me really forced. It is jarring to see these silly boxes dotted around pristine fantasy landscapes. There is one whichever way you look, apparently, and some are just too close to waypoints. Once I was just standing inside a seemingly safe area (inside a fort) working on my inventory when some idiot openend a box and then ran off and i had to stop what i was doing and fight for my life. . .
The game is overwhelming for beginners and we DONT NEED THIS STUFF.
The enemies that come out of the boxes ar unbalanced and lethal if you’re playing solo and don’t have experience and high level gear. The rewards just plain suck – ugly socks?
After dying and then spending 15 minutes trying to kill these cheap toy dolls with their cheap shots, I get Ugly Socks???
On my first few hours in the game, I went to Lion’s Arch to see what the fuss is all about , as I cannot remove the message on the top right of my screen constantly reminding me of a holiday i don’t care about. So there was some Toymaker thing I could check out.
I naively went in only to be quickly killed by some black blurry stuff. The worse came after, I could not see how to leave that horrible toy area and get back to my homeworld. As new player , this wasn’t a welcome feeling.
So here’s hoping that this event will go away , forever. Those boxes all over the map are an eyesore.
At least let us remove the reminder on the top right of the screen PLEASE!
Thanks
