Get Ready to Par-laayyyyyyyyyy!

[Magnesium02]

From 2.3 Patch Notes:

Upon completing the side story quest A case of Indecency, players will unlock the Parley mini-game.

1.0 flashbacks!

For those that don't know, Parlay was a minigame we HAD to complete in order to talk with some NPCs and gain their favour/ability to bargain with them. It was like this strange mix of Match, Connect-4 and Bejeweled - see Parley. Some people hated it cause the difficulty scaled with level and if you went into the parley on a lvl 50 you would get beaten easily. Some people hated it cause it made no sense and they thought it was a waste of time.

I know... I'm shaking my head here... :P

I'm more intrigued as to what the other minigames apparently coming in the patch will be like.

At least this time we wont be trying to stop Ifrit's summoning by talking about the rise of the price of cotton.

Those lizards couldn't believe how cheap I'm selling my cotton and bought it in bulk...with their fire crystals.

[Archadius]

At least it's returned just as an optional mini-game and not a mandatory requirement.

This is how i Parlay with beastmen :

People hated Parley in 1.0 because the animations were incredibly slow. Also, cause they refused to use their brain to learn a simple minigame like that.

I think this about sums it up.

And the idea of talking about mining/crafts/gladiators/whatever with someone to untemper them while a pile of really really angry amal'jaa otherwise ignored you (unless you attacked them) was ridiculous, as was the same thing in order to get information off NPCs.

I fear that's the least ridiculous of illogical decisions SE has made in regards to both story and game mechanics C_C;
