You make all these changes on the last patch, benefiting the people that already had all skills 200, now it’s 2x harder for the rest of the people to level their.
Adding to that, you buffed elite areas which makes it impossible for a casual group to farm it and they give 0 watermark items.
3 days farming myrk, mines & reekwater elites & chests, i got barely 1 watermark level, out of 30 different watermarks i got to level, lol you can’t be serious.
Was getting items 596, now the best i seen was 587 in the past 3 days.
Pointless and a waste of time.
Game had potential, but these latests changes are aimed for big companies and zergs and completly turned their backs on the casual player.
No progression means no fun and no point in playing the game at all.
Note for possible new casual players: Don’t waste your time here, they made a game for no-lifes, the casual players can just find another game to play.
For someone that was close to having everything, but now can’t have everything (as fast as they want), yes, this patch was not ideal for you. But saying that the game is no longer enjoyable for anyone and the game is ruined is short sighted.
They can tune things down as easily as they tuned them up. Server mergers will play a big role in improving group play.
People will defend this behaviour. And to those, I ask… why are you defending artificial difficulty? Do you think that is fun?
Just think, they could have put some work in and made the mobs have more mechanics to make them harder but instead they opened their scripts and dialed up some numbers.
You don’t get it.
People took advantage of the previous method, and had smooth sailing to max watermark/skills.
I would like to remind you have different watermark for different armor or weapon.
So if in 1 day you get 3 wm upgrades, means you will spend around 1 year grinding to get to max watermark in all weapons and armors.
If this sounds like reasonable progression, then sure, we’ll agree to disagree.
In my case, my server is VERY low population, and it is hard to make 1 group, let alone get 3/4 groups to raid myrkgard. So we end up having to leash mobs and do all kinds of parkour while dying in the process, to even try open some of the elite chests, to get max 3 levels a day after looting 3 elite areas that are now designed for 20 people.
I understand server merging will most likely resolve this issue, but that is in like what 30 days ?
If I was in a populated server, i’d probably found it easier to get in the bandwagon and loot chest, because going for drops is impossible, having 5 different groups attacking the mobs, chances to even get loot from mobs is close to 0%.
I would expect some progression in a game, even if i can’t put 12 hours a day in it.
Im on one of the most populated servers in the game and barely anyone runs myrk anymore except maybe one or two huge companies. They dont fight anything anymore, they just run through and get some of the chests. Most people die several times and less people run it each day. Even with a group of 50+ it takes forever and you get no loot from 95% of the mobs so its kind of pointless. At least before with groups of 5-10 we could run through some of the content and kill some mobs but now its a money sink with repairs. First day since it launched I have no desire to go back and I removed my positive review
