Agree with treesong needed more on old school aspects explained: trinity and slower leveling. Disagree on this - he was pretty specific in one of the videos: instances are for when they want a story dungeon. Otherwise non instanced.
Yes, they're placeholder. The primary goal was to start building the game right away, develop a working combat prototype, etc.Brad, the in game screenshots use 100% placeholder art i assume? You should probably make that clear on the KS page, some guys are already complaining about the "horrible gfx"
That GPS things looks to be more of a way to see what NPCs are in your general vacinity, doesnt appear to be a map, more like a radar.
Whats with all the anti-boat/water events? I think it sounds frikkin cool. I will however admit, I wasn't a huge fan of KK. I just went in enough to get my epic drop and never went back haha. But if $6.7 gets me boats I'm hoping he hits it eventually.
And someone who likes instances heard that instancing will be used for important content, and over world dungeons will be used as fluff to get there. Whatever you can say of Brad? He's obviously been pitching ideas for a while, he's good at it. I've had a lot of practice in this particular area
, luring in capital is a specific skill; we can smell our own.
Mainly because no one has ever done it right. Not even close. Water content pretty much always sucks. Ships, islands, sailing etc is all good stuff, but underwater zones can blow me.
GW2 tried soooo hard to get it right even to the point of giving underwater breathing, super fast swimming, crystal clear underwater vision and OP underwater abilities. But it was still a hassle. There's just nothing that underwater combat brings to the table.
I think he did a fine job of simply explaining the game without getting into the weeds Day 1 of the KS.
