Much has changed since I last logged in, apart from the graphic revamp. Level cap got substantially higher and I must say to those people who manage to grind their way up to the cap after perhaps hundreds or even thousands of hours, you sure got that willpower.
First thing I saw when I logged back in a week ago for the first time was some dude on a horse, but wait...some dude on a horse? Apparently they have horses now. Then I saw another dude swing past me with...a pair of wings? What the heck? Then some level 200 rogue standing there with a set of armor with a name so long I couldn't remember any of it. The massive amount of content really overwhelmed me to the point that I feel like a total newbie once again. I found myself asking questions that are usually associated with...newbies
- How did you get that awesome looking banshee blade thingy?
- What are hunter remains?
- What are bounties? Are they worth it? What's with all those different kinds of bounties?
- What is that bracelet of whatever and where did you get it? I think the answer was some boss I never ever heard of
- What is X? How did you get Y? What the Z is going on?!
I actually ran into a good friend of mine and he kindly gave me a banshee blade for free, that weird dance animation when holding the blade was really awkward, kinda hilarious. I tried it on a crookback scrounger and the blade proc one hit him. Too op OTM plz nerf
Some "newbie" questions I still have now
- Is Gelebron (hope I spelled it correctly) the new Mordy? Did Danu beat him yet?
- Did OTM tweaked the xp req for levels so it's easier (even a tiny bit) to level up? Or is it still a painful grind even with xp elixers? (don't have any xp elixers in my case, at least for now, so I guess the term should be agony?)
- China Clan? I saw it on baidu forums, I am Chinese American so I do know substantial Chinese, what are they up to?
- Is a Mage with a shield still feasible? Shieldy and I go way back, would be a pity if Shield Mages are no longer a thing :c
I'm sure I will have a lot to learn, now that level cap is so high I don't even know what it is (220? 230? 240? 250?). I might not be as active as before when I was hardcore, as I still gotta find that sweet balance between CH and other things, but if you happened to see me in game, feel free to say hi. I will try to keep the duel request spamming to a minimum and try to motivate myself to grind my way to a higher level.
