In Topic: Update Notes for April 30th

02 May 2013 - 02:21 AM

It's good that they continue to make changes and add content, particularly the new stuff for sPvP but I have to admit there really isn't anything in this patch that has me excited.

I'm really not pleased to see what has been a solo-able Living Story require a group dungeon for the conclusion. I didn't like it in the Personal Story and I don't like it here. And I have friends that I can group with, I just think the story and lore should be a personal experience, not a group one. Just as I think you shouldn't be talking to your friends while in a movie theater or having someone reading over shoulder when you read a book.

Also Ride the Lightning nerf. I understand why, that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Ah well, I guess you can't like every patch.

I really enjoy the humor that they've shown so far and the style so I'm keeping my eye on the game.

There are other ideas like their player housing that sound intriguing. And I rather like that the game is starting out with a big mystery around the game world itself which makes for fun speculation.

Of course, the thing that really matters is whether the game is stable and fun.

I never liked GW1 but I do appreciate that it gave Arenanet a success and allowed them to create GW2.

I'm also always interested in seeing new ideas in the MMO genre and the notion of a Kickstarter drive to provide a boost to an aging game is an intriguing one.

Sub-based games have such generous profit margins that even old games can support themselves with an anemic number of players as long as those players were willing to shell out money every month. Non-sub based MMOs are growing in number and they will need other, more creative ways to support themselves. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Also they really needed someone to proof-read that community letter, I just glanced through it and found numerous typos. Ah well, I suppose it's the thought that counts.
