For a lot of people, patch day for their favorite MMOs is a bit like a miniature gift, a whole bunch of new content to be devoured. But… well, content is not all equal. People do not simply tip over a plate and let all of it slough into their mouths, just as most of the world chooses meals based on more robust metrics than simple caloric and nutritional efficiency. If efficient sustenance were all we needed, we would eat nutrient paste.
So the question today is about priority. For me, because of my job, new patch day is about putting my hands on as much as possible as quickly as possible so I have a chance to talk about all of it. For other people new patch day means getting the newest cosmetic items as quickly as possible. Others want to see as much story as possible as soon as possible, with rewards or farming or whatever being secondary. So what do you prioritize in an MMO on patch day?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
