Why are you throwing away this game
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2013 4:43 pmIt isn't a secret what needs to be done to make this game a success; just make it more like hnh, and add witchcraft etc.
1) Server wipes on large patches are an absolute necessity. Having characters exist with unreachable stats due to mechanic changes is a HUGE turn off for many players.
2) Speed up the game pace. From crop times, to amount of collecting needed to be done, to movement speeds, etc. and get rid of the awkward movement (though it isn't as bad as many say imo). Stop making certain skills very inaccessible to more casual players (aka crime skills etc.).
3) Gluttony is stupid and boring. Everyone aknowledges this, so why is it not changed.
4) Why are there 3 servers with < 70 people on each. Merge them all into one so at least once in a blue moon you can meet another player.
5) Introduce real danger into the game. The most dangerous thing right now is misjudging swimming distance. Allow all animals be able to kill players, and nerf the lower tier ones to something manageable for fresh characters. KO by grasshopper should not be a reasonable thing.
6) Honestly with these four changes which could probably be implemented in a few weeks time (assuming decent time commitment etc.) and relaunch the open beta (aka hnh world launch) and you would likely have a decent enough initial boost to bring this game from the dead. If you end up giving up on this game it would be a goddamn shame, as I and many others still see the potential that it has.
