Asset Reuse

Asset reuse isn’t a bad thing. It’s even a good thing. But, I hate it when they reuse icon assets.

I love it when they reuse zones. I love that where we have been and what we have done matters. I love seeing what became of the places we visited. I love that they are efficiently using assets that already exist in a meaningful way.

Vulpera are reskinned goblins, you say? Ok, awesome.

Did you know those are
different things? Which is which?

Oh that mount? It’s just a reskinned blah blah blah. Yeah, maybe, but it dresses up pretty and that’s what matters to me.

But icons. The point of an icon is to let you know visually and quickly what a thing is, what button to push, what to sell, what to keep, and what to use in a recipe. When they are the same, the point is lost.
