With World of Warcraft Season of Discovery dropping soon, game producer dashes hopes of supply box XP farmers
Getting the edge via a World of Warcraft XP grind is a practice as old as the game itself, and with a new phase coming to World of Warcraft: Classic’s Season of Discovery, folks have been brainstorming ways of earning a chunky initial bump in progress as soon as the new content is released. However, thanks to a Tweet from one of the game’s producers, their plans and hopes for a headstart have been dashed.
The focus of this situation: Waylaid Supplies. These boxes drop from any and all enemies and chests you can find right now in Season of Discovery, and provide some XP and reputation when handed in to a specific NPC in capital cities across Azeroth. They can also be filled with specific items allocated to the supply box as you acquire them, increasing the XP and reputation gains at the cost of the time and money it takes to do so. With this is mind, the plans of grinders were simple – stock up on as many filled-up supplies as possible, then hand them in as soon as the next phase drops and a new level cap is implemented.
It’s at this point producer Josh Greenfield swoops in to put a damper on things. Responding to a user on Twitter who raised concerns around the matter, he wrote the following: “The previous level band’s crates just don’t give XP once you are 25 or above. The new crates you’ll find on higher level mobs/chests/etc starting on thursday give you experience. Stacking the current crates won’t be much benefit (past rep, if you still need it).
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Producer Calls Open World ‘the New Format to Proceed From’
Not even Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida can put down Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
It seems that even Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida just can’t put down The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
One of the universal problems that comes from playing a very good game is that it’s just too hard to put the controller down. “Just one more level, just one more dungeon, just one more go,” you tell yourself, even though you know you need to take the rubbish out because it’s collection day tomorrow and you’ve been putting it off. The Switch certainly makes that harder, as it puts the controller and console in hand together – and it seems like this is evening causing problems for Yoshi P, who joined the most recent Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer with his eyes glued to his Switch.
As shared in a clip by aitaikimochi on Twitter, as Yoshi-P walks into the frame and sits in his chair, you can see him holding the Zelda-themed OLED (thanks, GamesRadar). As he takes a seat, global community producer Toshio Murouchi said that it “seems like his heart’s not in it today…” which honestly, what a mood. Some fans translated the conversation between the two in the FF14 Discord, and according to them, Yoshida said he bought both the game and the console in Shinjuku, where he got some “interesting comments.”
The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Producer Eiji Aonuma Has Beaten The Game 20 Times
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom producer Eiji Aonuma has beaten the new game 20 times, and claimed that he is still discovering new stuff.
In a new interview published by Nintendo (via IGN), Aonuma advised that the game is more fun when you take frequent detours. Aonuma wanted to dissuade players from rushing to the ending, instead taking the time to explore side-paths. He said, “When testing the game, I sometimes needed to rush ahead to clear the story, but later on, as I started to go off on side paths, I realized…it’s a whole different game!”
He emphasized that the fusion abilities are key to this sense of discovery. Aonuma stated, “Even when sticking things together, there are so many different combinations that even I don’t know all of them. I even discovered something new the other day while shooting the gameplay demonstration video.”
