Update Summarization!
Posted: Sat May 26, 2012 11:55 pm
Well, here's my summary of the update,
Firstly, I love the graphics. New spell Fx's are beautiful! I was not let down when it came to the graphics, excellent work!
Ok, here's the thing. The abilities, two of the quest aren't even completable And I don't know how this wasn't caught during testing. The number one question should be, "does the quest work?" but I guess I'm wrong. And to be honest. The quests are more a nuisance then anything else. For a new ability? I was hoping that there'd be more of a storyline behind each statue. Would have been much more enjoyable.
Next, the arena! I love it! You go into a big arena and use your skills to defeat your foes, but they aren't mobs now, I can kill my friends again
! It's great, Except for when the higher levels go into it. Because at that point there is no fun for lower levels. We walk in, they use a single skill. Then we have to revive. And I think some sort of shop should be incorporated with the pvp rankings.
Then, there is the skills. "skills?" you ask? Well if you aren't level 85+ you probably don't even know there are new skills! Because the quests are geared for higher levels. Very unfair in my opinion. But, having no experience using them I have no clue whether only higher levels having them keeps it balanced or not. But of course! They are dropped from bosses now.. Which is.. Well... different..
Also, we have dueling! I don't understand why there is only 1 dueling area? I mean, shouldnt we duel everywhere? By the time we go to the dueling area you might as well go to the arena. But it can definitely pass the time with enjoyment! Until you go on a losing spree and your rating drops 3 levels and then you rage quit D:< but it's still fun!
NEW ZONE, well.. It's a pain to get there.. And I haven't really been there yet myself. So I can't say much. But from what I've heard you basically have to group up to kill anything. And for every boss you go through 50 res idols. Once again this is what I've heard.. But Im sure everyone wanted a challenge!
Banks! YES! Finally i dont have to buy a million backpack expansions to keep all the valuable items i had! The banker in Farcrag castle is like my new best friend! I absolutely love him! He holds 20 of your items for free! More if you purchase them! What a bro! And while I'm on Farcrag! How beautiful of a city! I love the updated Farcrag! Finally has a main city MMO feel to it!
Almost forgot, jewelry! I love the way it's set up now! Makes much more sense then before! Four ring slots, two bracelet slots, one necklace slot, and one misc slot! Making for a much wider variation of combinations and strategies! Really good Job with the jewelry! Adds a lot to the game!
And how could I forget the mobs, stonevale is ... A nightmare.. I can hardly kill a 2 star boar the same level as me.. I really hope this is getting fixed because being a level 54 I'm practically stuck.. I can hardly kill the mobs my level and for very little exp, and the aggro is unbelievable now. I swear these boars must run marathons judging how fast they dart at me from 50ft away!
And I did forget the fashion! Well, it's mostly pointless! But stuff that looks cool for a lot of money is the way to go! It covers up your equipped armor, and you can purchase rag "fashion" armor! So you look like a homeless person! But underneath it you can have full dragon! How great of a trick is that?!
Finally, the new weapons and armor! It looks gorgeous! I want it! And someone should summarize them for me so I can put it right here! Because I don't have them!
