MrBones -> War Recap (8/10/2012 7:33:54)
|
This is the end, beautiful friend. Congrats to Cinderella for the 'Doors' reference.
As the war comes to an end, I would like to do a recap on the whole thing. On the overall, I give it a 8/10.
Positive:
- The way the war was designed, the money factor was almost irrevelant. That, to me, is a huge improvement from the last war.
- The huge amount of credits that was gain through the gem drops and the mandatory battle to get to the door. I am sure everybody took advantage of it, especially the non-var folks.
- For the cheevos and rating collector like myself, this war was a gold mine!
- Lot's of new gear and the non-var got their share.
- I liked the new battle system were I could fight 2 npcs with a fellow Exile member. That was awesome to get to know a fellow exile and it was a nice experience. It created bounds and a sense of belonging.
- The level cap raising during the war. Now at first, I wanted to put that in the negative points. We all saw players, from both sides, farming the cave and not fighting the door in order to level up faster. But it also had a very positive side: The last level cap rasing (level 34 from level 33) created a mass of STR TLM rushing to level up and killing the game for weeks. Every level raise see an explosion of the OP built of the moment, jamming everything up. All the pros rushing to get to the cap. With the war, this effect was dilluted considerably.
- Cinderella story telling is creative.
- I liked the fact that you couldn't switched sides once your decision was made. Consequences when you make a choice is always a winner in games and keep the game refreshing.
Negative:
- The war was a bit long. I understand that the game caters to alot of people and everybody wants enough time to play and rank up but the last door was a bit much in my opinion. I have seen many pro players stop fighting when that last door apeared due to the boredom and repetitiveness of the whole process. Maybe too much HP ?
- The Mecachillids AI was questionable to say the least. I am no programming genious but I believe a better job could have been done with that.
I hope you folks enjoy the war like I did. I want to congratulate all the ED staff for a job well done. Please discuss and add some of your positive and negative points if not listed above. I hope there is more positive than negative!
