Thoughts? Opinions? (post-Day One)

[Jack]

Well, now that we have a day of HA2 under our belt, what do you guys think of it? Any suggestions for new features? Improvements? Any complaints?

I'm all ears!

[bgrugby]

I still disagree with the whole "no more 'view online' and 'view members posts'". I have dial up internet...yes I know I live in the 20th centuary and it takes me a long time to find everything. It pretty much takes me 3 minutes to go from North Castle to Ruto and by then there are 4 new posts. So I say bring those back. That is the only problem I have.

[weienw]

Well, I guess Rugger points out both a good thing and a bad thing. Bad thing: yes, I cannot imagine wading my way through on dialup. Even with Cable internet I get some server lag here and there (where all I need to do is re-click and it usually gets me to the next area).

But the good thing that's pointed out is how HUGE this place is! It's gargantuan! Seriously, I'm already addicted. There's just so much to explore, though it seems like between Rugger, Darilan, and Grenada, a lot of it's been scouted out. Quests are actually pretty hard now, even if you have some tricks up your sleeve. But the size is wonderful. Now I need to start paying more attention to the work Narrator put in, reading things more carefully (i.e. place descriptions, etc.).

Speaking of quests, last night I spent a good deal of time trying to find both the Mayor's Trophy (pile) and the Rito child's toy. Can you tell me just this--do they even exist yet? (Yea, I'm that desperate).

[gorjak]

Well,to find the Link Doll,you have to go to the Flats and search the whole place.It takes patience and luck,my friend.*Laughs*It took me a long time before I accidentally stumbled on it...

[weienw]

Well, admittedly, it was (relatively) a whole lot easier to find when it existed. ^^ Made me happy to see the little thing.

And I assume that the Mayor's Trophies are still unattainable by natural measures at the moment (unnatural measures being to break into shop.php/asdfklaldfas=13 or whatever but that'd be robbery XD. No worries)?

[Jack]

Trophies are NYI. Stop hacking!  :P

Well do to some circumstances I won't be able to participate anymore in the game, so if you want to make Rugger a NPC then go ahead.

I will be able to stay on the forums though so you haven't heard the last of me.  ;D

Whaa? You'd still be more than welcome to stick around even if you only post a few posts a week... keep that in mind?

That would be pretty pointless in my opinion the way people are leveling up. It would be better if my character was a NPC.

*fatherly tone*

Now, Rugger. I'll tell you the same thing I told Crambert yesterday.

Out of the average "fast leveller" who has around 4 TP right now, only 1 of those 4 had anything to do with level. Someone could have 3 TP right now with only 3 posts; assuming they were clever enough to unearth the hidden items. Seriously ((1) "I found your doll, 2), I found your bundle, 3) I found your trophy"))! Posting, to me, while the level up every 50 posts is a good incentive, I find that it's more of an important tool to character creation.

All in all, I don't think that lack of power is too much of a concern. Lack of a multilayered Rugger? Maybe...

Hope you can get some interest on those 2 cents ^^. And you're always welcome to swing by on a quest and lend a blade.

[bgrugby]

Well I just don't have the time to be an active member in the game anymore. So I will just have Rugger be an NPC and show up here and there like Wyndisis.

[gorjak]

Ok...see ya,Rugger!We're(Or maybe,the old members,anyway)gonna miss ya on the game!And finally I have Gorjak make his very first appearance,in the Deku King's presence...

I'll still be around, just an NPC who makes guest apperances and gives out advice  ;D

[Master Goron]

 :'( Now I'm sad...

Show up often, Rugger. If you don't I'll be forced to miss you, and I'll turn into a very crazy gorilla-like beast with 5 arms. And crazy 5-armed gorillas end up in the zoo/circus and no one wants that either. If that happened I would have to wreak havok on the entire world(through the use of massive banana-nukes) which would lead to a time-space continuum collapse therefore ending the existance of everything in existance and I doubt many people want that. So now you can see how your NPC'ing in HA2 affects the future of humanity. In other words, show up as much as you can.

[bgrugby]

Oh boy I better make sure to post often then haha. I think I might post my NPC in Hyrule Castle but I am not sure. But I will have him pop up here and there and of course if you guys are ever in a jam, your favorite Dragoon might show up to help  ;D
