Revealed at IGN Live, studio head Collin Johanson gave out some juicy details on the upcoming MMORPG.
As a paid game gw2 has awful monetization, closer to poe and warframe monetization except it’s paid. Hopefully it’s better monetized this time, maybe closer to something like skins only, no paid qol or fomo. But then you compare it to other games like destiny or WoW and its not bad at all, maybe I’m too critical.
Sas@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day ago Yeah the character and bag slots as well as bank tabs really are annoying to have to buy. Granted i bought all i have with in-game gold but it’s still annoying. Inventory management is still the most annoying part of the game. If they’d at least make quest items go to a separate tab without a size limit
Wtf? Genuinely based?
Yet
illi@piefed.social 1 day ago GW2 also doesn’t gave any FOMO stuff (at least not anymore) that I can think of. And only FOMO thing they used to have was the way they were releasing updates - and the content was put back in eventually.
I think there was something called the living world, ages ago, when I did play it.
Regardless of what it was named, it was a time-limited set of story events.To my recollection, it was my first experience with a FOMO-inducing mechanic in a game. It is what caused me to bounce off the game completely and say I want nothing to do with this.
I can understand why such a design choice might be made - the scarcity of it pulls the large portion of the player base all into the same areas and same questlines at the same time. It can make the world feel far more populated. But… So does any new content, if to a lesser degree.

I respect that.
