I am personally holding out for, if not a return to the continent, then at least some answers that might fill the same niche as a ‘Beyond Elona’ quest chain, but in GW2. I don’t see the opening of Cantha in GW2 happening any time soon if at all, but Elona is much closer and pretty much on the map already. I’d like to know more about what happened there after our characters’ times, plus I know a LOT of players would be more than happy to defeat Palawa Joko after all these years.

Mostly unrelated, but this just reminds me of a friend who was roleplaying (with another mutual friend) in /say in GW2, and realised that her character’s creepiness-bordering-on-abuse was going to get her reported one day if she kept doing it in public channels!

“Can I respec my Path?

Currently? No”

Translation: We know this could go belly-up. We have a fallback position ready and waiting if you come at us with the tar and feathers.

I’m looking forward to WildStar but my overwhelming impression looking at it from outside is that it’s outrageously over-complicated. I’ve played many MMOs that had far more complex systems in beta than they ended up with at launch and I don’t believe I have ever played an MMO whose systems weren’t simplified, often heavily, post-launch.

As a player of many characters in every MMO the exclusivity of the Paths doesn’t bother me but I predict that it’s going to bother the core “Main + 1 Alt” audience a lot and that will lead to either a Path respec or multi-path option in due course.

It’ll be interesting to see how players react. Neverwinter does a simple gating when it comes to gathering: each class archtype (warrior, priest, wizard, rogue) can harvest a certain type of node (dungeoneering, religion, arcane, thievery). Pretty sure they all give the same thing, so it’s just flavor. But at the same time, it annoys me when I run across a node I can’t use, to the point where I start counting the number I find in a given dungeon to see if it’s a “fair” distribution.
How will players feel if there are entire sections of the game they can’t access without a character with the appropriate path?

Path balance is going to be key. It is going to be a tricky tightrope for Carbine to balance making the Path content unique and meaningful, but at the same time giving each Path a fairly equal satisfaction in terms of what they get out of that content. I would hate to see the system “subverted” either by min-maxing (ie. Scientists get buff X which is better than Soldier buff Y) or homogenization (everything being SO equal as to no longer be distinctive.)

NCSoft does not care about the goodwill of its consumers, only about doing things they can present as advantageous to their Korean stockholders.

Incoming money is not the only asset. There’s also the goodwill and pride of having another game in the stable. It might hurt the brand/company more to shut it down than to operate as a small loss.
