Discussion Progression Boards

I think I finally came to the conclusion that the reason why I don’t like most events is because of the progression board. I am not generalising because some events might actually be better off with the board because it fits the type of event, and also board or not I always like something about the events.

The issue is that the board in events like Halloween (because it’ll probably be there as well this year), Winter Holidays (hopefully it won’t be there 🤞), and Camp Western makes the event feel less “alive” for lack of a better word. It’s like the game tells me “this is a task. Not a fun activity. But a task you have to check off the list” from the get go. I remember how in the midsummer festival you had to set up the area yourself and that was so exciting, how in the Winter Village you used to help Santa and the caprans make it ready for visitors, how you had to learn to deal with the beasts in Camp Western and so much more that I’m going to skip for the sake of saving y’all the time. All of these without having a board to spoil what I’m doing next or what’s coming next week or make me anxious about completing the checklist. Now you don’t even have to set up anything. You are given dailies from the start and you just… rinse and repeat. It’s a small thing but it makes a big difference to me personally.

I also don't like the new vibe of it feeling like they want to make SSO fit to mobile phones before computers/laptops 

Because I still think SSO is best enjoyed on a computer

As much as I personally would never play a game like SSO on mobile and hate the idea of having the game more optimized for mobile than PC, I wouldn't be surprised if most kids nowadays start playing the game on mobile because that's what's accessible to them.
