Text of the page (random words):
at were less optional tbc controversially required revered reputation later lowered to honored with four separate factions for access to heroic dungeons which were then required to complete quests for access to raid content more significantly wow s first three expansions pushed the use of daily quest based soloable rep grinds as a way to gate access to enchantment options for specific armor slots head shoulders the latter change mattered because unlike gear that you will eventually replace the rewards were not skippable everyone had to complete the relevant daily quest grind or they would be unable to enchant their gear late in the wrath era and continuing with cataclysm blizzard decided to make these items account bound this alleviated portions of the problem but you still had to grind each daily quest faction once per account why now blizzard elected to remove head enchants from the game entirely rather than continue this trend and or re introducing them elsewhere high end shoulder enchants are also gone from rep vendors and are now produced with the inscription profession unfortunately blizzard created other issues to replace these pandaria expands justice and valor points beyond the traditional group content of past expansions and blizzard opted to use rep restrictions to gate access to this gear in years past this would have been relatively optional but the dungeon finder has made item level checks mandatory this became especially prohibitive for players needing to get multiple characters up to par spreading the entry level gear amongst four factions does not seem terribly consistent with the design of removing enchantments from vendors to make them more optional on one hand it seems unlikely that the changes go far further than the immediate problem by accident the effects on players grinding rep on a single character are significant at a time when blizzard was pushing to make the rewards for getting to exalted less significant and more cosmetic based on the scope of the fix perhaps blizzard felt the length of the rep grind ladder was a deterrent especially with increased numbers of reps in pandaria that said it seems counterproductive to reduce the amount of repeatable content in the game for people who like repeating daily quests solely to fix an avoidable issue with gear vendors perhaps the daily quest isn t going over as well as blizzard had hoped but that too is a weird and potentially troubling circumstance with all of the investment they made in daily quests this expansion posted by green armadillo at 10 42 pm 1 comments labels business models pvd wow thursday october 4 2012 rise of the project gorgon as has been reported at various fine news and blog outlets project gorgon has hit kickstarter i ve been tracking this project via the blog of its creator for over a year now and the effort is fascinating in how transparent the development process has been as i mentioned last week i have some concerns about the planned business model but to some extent these fall into the kickstarter claims not to be a store camp the plan is for a sandboxy quirky creative world where a class named dark geologist barely failed to make the cut and players must learn to die in creative ways if they wish to become a necromancer who may or may not also be a werewolf i m not clear on what happens if you combine the two this project is on kickstarter precisely because it s not the sort of thing that s making it to stores these days it s going to be interesting to see where this project shakes out they are aiming at a sizeable sum when viewed in terms of the numbers of small contributors they would need to hit the mark but working in their favor is the fact that the project is unique enough that it s hard to put an objective value on it between respect for what they re trying to do and general enjoyment that i ve gotten as a reader of elder game over the years i m definitely rooting for them edit aside despite having been a reader of both blogs for years now i somehow never realized that eric s wife was secretly real name signed at bottom of blog mania of petopia fame any of you who have ever played a hunter in wow or simply been curious about all the pets they can tame are probably familiar with her work posted by green armadillo at 9 24 pm 5 comments labels business models pvd wednesday october 3 2012 eight years nothing learned i haven t been tracking pandaria that closely but today s blue posts strike me as an obvious did they really not see that coming issue for some reason the current pve justice point tier obtained by puggable 5 man content and others was offering item level 450 gear while the pvp honor tier obtained via battlegrounds was offering item level 464 gear blizzard somehow thought that the pvp secondary stats on the pvp gear would make it unfavorable for use in pve but having it be an entire tier higher in base stats was apparently more than enough to offset this and thus players were farming battlegrounds or even converting their justice points into honor points at a large loss to buy pvp gear instead blizzard will now be normalizing all the items into the middle of the road and adding some extra pvp stats to the pvp items to offset the lost stats i wonder what it was that made this so hard to foresee the cardinal rule of mmo incentive design from the last eight years and i ve seen ghostcrawler acknowledge this is that you cannot change player preferences with incentives but you can and will change player behavior putting gear that is otherwise difficult to obtain on a pvp vendor is one of the most common ways to screw this one up i recognize the desire to have the incentives be desirable to all players but the impact of getting this particular one wrong is too great posted by green armadillo at 7 16 am 2 comments labels pvd pvp wow newer posts older posts home subscribe to comments atom subscribe subscribe to pvd about player
