Nostalgia for those years, our youthful years in dreams. Two months ago, I went back to my dreams, looking for memories of the past. During this time, I felt a lot of changes that gave me a new perspective on the game.
First of all, I found that the general environment in the game seemed to be too utilitarian, with everyone revolving around how to quickly swipe money. This was a bit of a disappointment for me, as the atmosphere had gone against the original intent of the game. Even more unacceptable, some players are reluctant to even use equipment that slightly affects the efficiency of spawning, such as centering sets. In their eyes, an increase in a cast action is enough to make them feel like a burden.
In addition, I found that players in the game seem to be too focused on the earnings of point cards and in-game currency. They are always calculating their inputs and outputs, just as seriously as they are working in real life. This made me feel a little frustrated, because this attitude had taken away the original fun of the game.
On top of that, the game lacks a good matchmaking system, which leads to an increasingly serious conflict between efficiency and non-efficiency parties. Not only did this affect the gaming experience, but it also led many players to choose a single-player mission, join a fixed team, or become a five-player player. This situation made me think that if planning could do something about it, such as balancing the attributes of equipment and improving the matchmaking mechanic, it might be able to change that.
Overall, although Fantasy Journey to the West still has a large number of loyal players, it is undeniable that this game is no longer what it used to be. For those players who miss the fantasy of the past, we may not be able to get back the initial touch, but at least we can stick to our original intention and enjoy the fun brought by the game. And for those players who are still persevering, I want to say: as long as there is love in our hearts, Fantasy Westward Journey will always be our spiritual home.
