Let me start off with positive feedback. I like everything that was stated in the video. New zone, good. Completely redesigning the new player experience from 1-25 from quests to looks, fantastic. Addressing the war issue, awesome. It’s going in the right direction.
On the other hand, I still did not see world bosses, raids, transmog system, new pvp modes, new opr maps. I’m a huge defender of the game but it is still not enough to keep players long term. I know you guys are working on some of these things but returning players are going to try the new content then leave a week later.
Sad but true. However, this is how it is with MMOs nowadays. The required features in this genre are so numerous that no MMO will ever come out finished again I guess. As long as they deliver these mentioned features over time, the game will become healthy and stable player count wise sooner or later.
We have to keep in mind too that this is just a preview, they arent going to show us everything, who knows what else might come out with this that they didnt show us.
@Zelme@Shadow_Fox Of all the missing features, this game really needs raids or some kind of endgame PVE content. Like even just reworking portals to trigger an open world invasion. Right now, portal hunting is dead
Yeah, I must say the Update looks visually stunning and it’s going to help the game feel fresh again for a bit. But I’m sure that feeling will fade quickly once you load into the same old OPR map that you’ve played for over a year. Going forward we need a massive focus on the repeatable content that people actually do on a daily basis.
New OPR maps and new gamemodes like CTF or TDM would have a big impact on longevity, while the content that Brimstone sands will offer most likely caters more to the seasonal players that jump in for a week and then go back to their main game.
Can’t we just enjoy upcoming big update? it seems to be dope when arrive
and i know there is a lot of things we still want, but it cant be like that, they release big upadte and you guys keep complaining about something there is not still …
@CopeYum thank you for the like, and @Salomon Brimstone Sands is great content but its only 1 week worth of content. Content creators like Dimone Kim who used to cover this game who may be coming back are going to quit again.
Oh, well, I guess I do not care about this creator any way, cause he is flag.
Like @ComfortablyNumb there is plenty others guys to follow, and anyway, I am never following streamers in games, so for me it is not even an argument, sorry.
for em upcoming update, and changes seems great, waiting for upcoming pvp content which will be huge, so be patient, and you will see
Guys remember that on the PTR there was a test on big ass bosses. Not sure what was the end for that, but even someone capped it and uploaded a vod from the PTR
I don’t like expeditions, they are repetitive and you have to only scale ward gear and gemstones, at some point people will start doing them duo-trio as we used to do Lazarus because there was nothing else to do pre-mutations.
Open world is the key, we have a big map, but a poor engine that can’t handle more than 10fps if a bunch of people are ice snowing on the same place. I don’t think open world stuff will happen anytime soon, at least, not without a tremendous performance backfire.
@ComfortablyNumb Thankfully. they gonna revamp the level 1-25 because that was what killed the game for me the first time. You had these tutorial crafting quests that werent tied to the main story, and after that you were told to go here, go there, kill 5 corruptions or kill 10 lost pirates. I quit at level 24, wasnt planning of coming back until my former main game took a direction i didnt like, im level 49 now
GS is PVE, Brimstone Area is PVE, All Creeps and Monsters are PVE… you even have a new Expedition … what are you talking about ? Nothing here for PVP content ! All PVE imho…
There is not a single PVP thing except they are trying to fix shell company wow … and is this what count a PVP feature ? Really ? Wow… what a ****** mentality !
