CEO Reviews Pirates of the Burning Seas
The CEO of Pirates of the Burning Seas just left an awesome review of his game on the Mystic Worlds blog. This is a fascinating read. It gives you the insights on how the CEO of PotBS feels about his game.
Most interesting to me are the technological challenges he cites. I am not too technical so sometimes I do not understand the technological obstacles that developers face. The CEO describes why they had to instance ship to ship combat and sword play. I hate this aspect of the game, but at least I know why they did it now.
I also enjoyed reading about the future changes PotBS is making to its combat system. They are making swashbuckling more difficult so that players learn more about the combat system. There has been a complaint that swashbuckling was too easy until higher levels. And that the lower levels did not teach you to use this system. I am glad to see that Pirates of the Burning Seas is changing this.
Will I play PotBS? Probably not. I just started playing Tabula Rasa and can't wait to play Warhammer Online.
