I'm not really sure I'd want what I'm going to say, but it's a thought I had and I wanted to share...
Yesterday, I found out the game was open while I was at work, so I couldn't play but I could access my skill page and launch new skill learning. And that's what I've done, all afternoon.
This allowed me to advance quite quickly in my skills. I was very glad about it but still...
It means that when the game is open 24/24, we will be able to learn all the skills extremely quickly. Dealing with the skills during the day, dealing with quests and mining to gain giant's favor during the evening and night... Looking at the skill tree, it looks like I could learn all the skills within a month or two. And I think it's a little too fast.
In the one hand, I'm very glad to be able to advance so quickly, but in the other hand, skills and the related quests are a big part of the game for me, and even if I'd be very satisfied to end the skill tree, I'm afraid that the game would lose a part of its interest for me when done with the skills.
I see four ways to avoid that:
- More skills (but a lot more)
- Not being able to launch a new skill learning while not playing (you can learn when not in the game, but you have to enter the world to launch a new one).
- More achievements limitations
- Longer learning times
But maybe it's just a newbie thought. Maybe I don't see all the possibilites of the game after all the learning part...
What do you think?
