[R#184-T#185] Some impressions
I did a little Testrun on Vedeena and I didn't know where to post that. Feel free to move the thread. Here are the things that striked me.
1.)
Spawning in the Canyon works and I like the new environement. (Although I didn't find a YOS). Good job!
But:
2.)
Mr. Jones is spawning there too. A newbie cannot do the quest and will search for hours, if he is not lucky enough to find the help-chat fast.
3.)
The first character I spoke with (guard) showed only an empty text-box, what gives a really bad impression for beginners. To create immersion and a good gaming-experience we really need more funny, exciting npcs in the beginner areas, which tell background-stories and give hints, what the player can and should do. They should give directions where he can meet other players. Instead, a new player is left alone. The same problem in OZ1 when you start as a crahn-member (at least you took the old OZ-appas...nice!)
4.)
The caves look all the same. Reused content was always and is a showstopper for neocron. When you add the chaos caves you see, that there is only 1! type of caves in the whole big canyons. So boring :(
5.)
The mobs in the TG-Canyon-Caves are no challenge for newbies. They were not able damage me in the highest level (3). Btw. The level-descriptions are pointless. Nearly identical mobs in every cave.
6.)
I couldn't get any missions at the term for the mobs in the caves.
--> Step in the right direction, but still a lot to do. Thx for your work NC-Team!
