I just like being "home" even if it is not necessary.<br />Additionally when I need a bank, TP or crafting station I usally go to Rata Sum aswell, at a cost of 3 silver if need be. Everything is nicely structured, gotta love it.Keidotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-62130913122229387732012-09-28T16:45:34.634-05:002012-09-28T16:45:34.634-05:00Yes, moments of respite are important to storytell...Yes, moments of respite are important to storytelling, game pacing and even just the basic psychological and physical needs of the players. All-action, all the time can be a conscious choice to ratchet tension, but we really do needs places to step and feel at home. If nothing else, it gives us a connection to the game, as we feel "at home" in those places. That's a good way to keep people playing, and happy with your game.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-29794426496512175272012-09-28T07:27:49.710-05:002012-09-28T07:27:49.710-05:00In addition to that, GW2 cities are often not safe...In addition to that, GW2 cities are often not safe spots. They get attacked and if you just stood around there afk you might get killed. I love that. The world feels more alive if the "threat" doesn't stop at the border of every city. Then again, it's hard to call anything a "base" in GW2 besides the 6 big cities. All the other villages lack some stuff like TP access, bank or specific vendors (e.g. kits for karma).Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.com
