I’ll try to keep this breif.
PROS
1. New dungeon.
Probably the coolest dungeon experience i’ve had in any mmo. The collossus (for examp) dungeon feels like i’m playing a different game…completely shadows every previous dungeon in the game and the entire system behind it is amazing. You guys nailed it on the head with this.
2. Cosmetic look of new zone.
Its designed in an art style that is very unique and at the same time very attractive and inspires me to want to explore it. Orr was a unique design that looked ugly, instead of what i assume was supposed to be scary. (personal opinion..art design with coast far better)
3. New zone harder monsters but not over cluttered.
Comparing to Orr again but ya kinda have to. Orr i cant walk two feet with getting zerged…no zerg here but simple fights with monsters feels more challenging and dangerous and thus more exciting.
4. More item drops.
Yes..yes…YES! Got exotic off a boss…has never happend till this patch..must be the patch. I like the bags of crap i’m getting too, may not be a lot but makes a man feel good.
5. New spvp dungeon.
Whoever designed it has the right idea…go back and remake the pirate map. Your spvp maps kept getting less interesting “imo” in beta…then you release this one that blows them all away. How does that happen?
Neutral
New teir items.
So far i havent really seen how these effect my gameplay. While the shift definitly shook up everybody i’m a little bit more opened minded before running to hit the dooms day alarm…unfortunately so far it has NOT effected my game play positively or negatively…so i cant really comment on this one as of yet.
Cons
1. New zone is not engaging and lacks life.
This one is hard to put into few words. But i go there…i feel like i have NO idea whats going on..(i dont beleive in having to read every npc’s dialogue and crap to understand ANYTHING) Not many npc dialogue talking about stuff, feels like few events…..no real sense of danger or mission. A lot of the same monster over and over. Monster things dont seem to be…really doing anything but just attacking stuff. Why cant there be an event where the monsters are escorting a load and we help another npc group intercept it? Why are we always defending people trying to get from point a to point b? sorry….anyway its lacking.
2. New skins from the event are not appealing or popular.
Seriously….did…did you not just see the chainsaw sword, scythe or black shield you just released with the halloween event? I was really excited after seeing those and then these come out and i’m just like. “ahaha thats funny…no really wheres the REAL new skins…..what..really?….oh god”
3. Bugs.
Expected sure…doesnt mean i’m not gonna complain.
Anyway, as you can see theres more positive things on my mind than negative. I think most of MY personal faith in this game was dramaticly increased after seeing the new spvp map and dungeon….tells me you guys are learning and can really take a good idea and take it to the next level…HUGE improvements in what..3 months after release?
Anyway, lets hear what the rest of you kittens have to say. (ya i just typed kitten..knew it’d censor me anyway)
