We had the pleasure of interviewing, Community Relations Manager, Kevin - Q-3PO - O Hara. In this Q/A we covered the state of the game, balance issues, and where the game is going content wise. Here is a snippet:
Tark Will we be seeing more diverse quest/theme parks? Currently the majority of missions are: go to point a, kill lair rinse repeat. Will we get more diversity? What are your plans to address this?
Q-3PO: Definitely. The simple "terminal" missions serve their purpose (short session play) and we have enough of them to do that. Based on feedback, we've added several more of types of mission terminals (Artisan, Entertainer, Explorer). Going forward we are focusing our efforts on more diverse missions like the ones you see on some of the static NPCs or in the Themeparks. The trick is to make ways of them being worth more to the player. Multileg quests sound more interesting but the convenience of the terminals makes it hard to wean players away from them. We're working on ways to entice the players to go the more interesting missions. This will involve better rewards and better information on where to find them.
