A little note to The Forces That Be

Post by Quinasa »

Dear GMs, Devs, Community Managers, and anyone with any say in the technical make-up of the game whatsoever:

This is the message I received when logging in this afternoon: "Your condition today: You had a vision of a golem beating you but you didn't even take a scratch. Maybe you should really try this today?!"

Cute, but probably not what a brand new player to the game should be seeing on his or her first day. Or even really in the first month. I'm not new, obviously, but anyone could get this message. Perhaps, instead of "Maybe you should really try this today?!", it should be changed to something that won't make a n00b go out hunting for golems (because the game totally just prompted them to) just to get owned, and then ragequit?

I'm just sayin'.

Most daily messages are confusing or pointless. This will be resolved with the very big update.

Some of them are very funny, it's true. I'm just thinking from a 'new person' point of view. You know... the kind that logs in and doesn't know how to mine for fish.

"Nargun declares that your eyesight is doing rather well today."

"Today, Nargun thinks you should be feeling better than usual."

I agree, a new person may just ask what a golem is also, yet when I saw it with a relatively new fighter char I thought to myself "yeah....sure!" :lol:
