When literally leveling depends on luck, then yes, it becomes bad.
Here’s an example: the idea of randomised structure locations isn’t bad, but it can’t be too extreme.
Instead of not garuanteeing a spawn at all, there could always be a 100% chance of a structure spawning in an open area, but maybe the only thing that’s randomised is the type of structure. Now that’s a better alternative.
You say this as if the content being added in the future is totally inconceivable, and vetex will blow our minds with what’s going to come. That is nowhere near the case. He literally speaks his mind on the Trello, and he has a clear vision for the game.
…Did you realise that the structure/enemy spawns are based off the currently spawned quests yet?
Excepting those that already need to be there like bosses?
If there’s a quest to do something, that objective will always exist.
Ok so… buff quest rates then? Lol
It’s still new content nontheless? You’re complaining about not having stuff to do when there’s about 2% of the total planned content added.
Put some effort into looking. And actually make sure you’re looking properly. Because on every day’s start the great majority of NPCs are given a quest.
I’m not complaining about the amount of stuff to do at all. You see, I’m not complaining about the what, I’m complaining about the how. The way we level up is bad and unsatisfying.
Because. These. Are. Baby. Quests. Meant. For. Introduction.
Are you ever going to understand the game is still in an early stage?
Yet again, this comes down to luck once more. Luck is not tangible.
A good analogy would be a chocolate chip cookie. The majority is dough, with only a few pieces of chocolate sprinkled on it. This should be the case for WoM. The leveling system should have a revolve around a centred mechanic, which is quests and bandits/dark wizards. For that extra bit of realism, having wandering bosses and randomised type structures is adequate.
Ok, forget about the creativity of the storyline. In fact I’m not talking about the storyline here. It’s just the overall quest system.
Then what the hell is wrong with it?
Every SINGLE RPG has luck incorporated into its main mechanics. Even in games like Pokemon you wouldn’t get a guaranteed encounter every single time you stepped into tall grass.
Game’s boring right now because there ain’t a Smurfs theme to it. If the game was entirely Smurf-themed, it would have a million players per hour
Reiteration of what’s wrong:
All of these issues constitute to a main problem:
Players aren’t satisfied enough when doing a quest.
i mean i could get behind some of your points but you don’t look at the fact that less than 2% of the game’s level cap is complete
don’t get me started on the current world map, look at it, how are you supposed to dump fixed bosses in here at this stage of the game, sure it could be considered in the future but seriously?
oh, oh, and let’s not mention the fact that only 24% of what will most likely be added in the game is complete
and here you are, complaining about storyline being not that much of story and awe when we’re literally only in the prologue of the game’s storyline, randomised npc’s and long walks in quests when the world map isn’t even finished by a quarter
quest spawn rate ideas, i could get behind, but for most of your reasons, i have one word to say to you
patience
Storyline creativity was only a supporting reason as to why the leveling system doesn’t feel progressive enough. I understand that it’s only 2% done, and more ‘story’ chapters will get added.
I’m going to post it again since you ignored it.
I’m not looking for solutions to achieve these things. The problem is that they are mostly centred around random spawns.
If you aren’t looking for solutions, THEN WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
