The masteries QQ is ridiculous. Would you rather go back to a leveling system where you can’t do content until you’re level X? The only difference between masteries and a traditional leveling system is that I can choose which zone’s masteries to focus on first rather than having to grind levels on all previous zones first.

Leveling 1-80 wasn’t locked behind group-required meta events, you could do it at your own pace and WHEN YOU CHOSE TO, your progression wasn’t dictated by event timers and the availabiltiy of others to ‘group up’ for the 1990s group-or-die content HOT’s Challenges and metas demand.

So yes, I want to ‘go back’ to normal leveling please.

I must agree, and I was surprised that there’s only one way to get new content which is through HoT. Even Ranger pets have always been spread out everywhere or pets could be found in more then one place, not anymore. This is their first expansion so I’ll give them time.

I know it’s not their intention but this expansion does appear to promote an elitist agenda.

5/10 It’s a place you only go to when you have a lot of extra time. Frustrating when you see an event up and can’t get to it, or you work to get to a waypoint or point of interest and you’re on the wrong level.

I was getting crashed to desktop about every two hours more or less for days. Crashes stopped when I turned the games graphics settings down to best performance, looks terrible but zero crashes.

Don’t care what they call’em, just as long as they fight well on land and underwater.

Is the 64 bit client self updating or does it require users to check for updated versions?

I usually look for the class that has the largest discussion counts in the forums.

We really should be able to keep our pets stored during battle if we want. Necros can do it.

Pets and Teria is almost completely unexplored again. That at least should have all waypoints discovered.

“Insidious” kinda says it all. The title doesn’t say please fix bug. It’s asking for a nerf, not a fix. That tells you something right from the start.

Once I got my elite specs I seldom return to HoT. It’s really perfect for organized guilds, group content that works best for large organized guilds or guilds that do organized runs on content.

As a solo player, when it’s night, you pretty much have to group to get things done. Plus I run into being on the wrong level of the map, or running into a dead end on the map while fighting my way through mobs, or not having enough people to do some timed content.

I don’t enjoy all the frustration so I seldom go there. I pretty much like the old maps and do them nearly everyday.

Necro can have up to five pets out or put them all away or fight without pets completely. Yet they can’t balance Rangers fight with or without one pet.
