Right now i’m having a lot of fun with the BETA and playing more than in the past years. The awesome changes made the game interesting again.
The first big change, in my view, was to drop the attributes from specializations and made them about gameplay. Now i can get the traits i love without having to ditch my stat build, that made a lot more room for customization, even if Zerker builds are still dominant.
The maguuma jungle is a blast and the story is way more enjoyable than season 1 or the main story-line quests. This is because the new companions are more present than the “Mentors” of Destiny Edge.
Even so we need more info about them for the sake of new players and old ones. Maybe more cutscenes or even a comic book would do nice.
The bad things that are still in the game, only god knows why:
Some skills are still pointless, even some called Elite are just there as an racial filler and need a rework as a racial passive, for not ruining the balance.
By the way who uses their racial in first place? They just don’t have anything good to offer.
But the problem is not only in the Races, all the classes have some useless skills or ones that are not good to be picked. I’m telling this since i hit 30 with my first toon 3 years ago. The Elites are too dumb to be called that and some even don’t share the classes traits.
Warrior’s Stances ( Long Cds, short duration and no traits) , Guardian’s Spirit weapons ( they don’t do anything good), Necro pets and transformations (ok plague form is a great CC). Those are the ones i play and i find odd how in 3 years those meh skills are still meh lol.
Oh and by the way Dragonhunters is lame =/ Sorry. The other are great, tempest is kinda meh, but is ok.
The game need a serious rework or even be scraped out of the game ( Yes i’m talking about you Rampage)
