Major Changes to Smart Injection System - What Do You Think?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, it's about time we reveal our new plans for our Smart
Injection System (SIS).
With the changes in Cataclysm, quests have become much more connected
like a web, as well as becoming much more linear. Over the past few
weeks, we've realized that what worked BEFORE might not be the best
solution for the way the game is NOW.
So we put our lab coats on and went back to the drawing board. :-)
And this is the direction we've decided to go with SIS.
Instead of chaining each individual quest together, which we believe
to be overkill in the current state of the game, we're exploring
separating the guides into individual quest hubs, where possible.
This should make the process of jumping into the guide at ANY level
much easier and less time consuming.
We've separated the guides so that each guide section starts fresh.
You don't need any pre-requisite quests to unlock the quests in each
individual guides section.
So, for example, let's say you're level 52 and you've never used our
guides before, or you've been running dungeons for 25 levels because
you're insane. :-P
Instead of trying to piece your character into the guide quest-by-quest,
SIS will now decide which guide section is perfect for your character.
So, with your level 52 character, SIS would would immediately determine
that the level 51-54 guide section is perfect for your character, boom.
Upon selecting the 51-54 guide section, it will look at which quests
you've already completed in the past, and start you off at the first
incomplete quest in that guide section. Since the guides are split
in this certain way, you should not become stuck from the guide skipping
any pre-quests at all, because each guide section does not require
pre-quests.
So immediately, without any delay, you're on track and questing,
completing objectives appropriate for your level. Then, once you've
reached the minimum level requirement for the next guide section, the
guide will have you turn in your current quests and immediately move
to the next guide section. This should make the leveling experience
feel much more smooth and natural.
You may be thinking, "what about the quests I've collected and haven't
turned in because the guide skipped the steps to complete them?"
No fear, with this new overhaul of SIS, we're adding a feature to the
guide that will recommend you abandon guide quests that are no longer
needed for your character. This will prevent your quest log from
becoming clogged with obsolete and uncompleted quests. :-)
All of this combined should give you a much more enjoyable leveling
experience, without any erratic traveling in the process.
We're aiming to have this new version of SIS released within the next
week or two.
And on that note, whoa! This post ended being much longer than we
anticipated, but we wanted to fill you in on what we're doing and
what's going on.
Please comment in this thread and let us know what you think of this
new SIS overhaul. Do you think it will make the guide easier to use?
Let us know your thoughts, we'd really appreciate it!
Stay tuned. Take care.
