There are times when an mmo gamer is sent into a towering rage due to a major change in the game that they normally play. It could be their favorite class getting unexpectedly nerfed or that a particular legendary suit of gear that they spent months grinding to get is now rendered obsolete by the latest armor to be released. Yet there are times when a minor change occurs within a game that initially doesn't register upon a person's radar. While that change may appear insignificant upon the surface, it could have profound consequences in the long run. Such a case happened recently in Guild Wars 2.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃
