Wth happened to listening to the players? The game was just about perfect near the end of the last version.
Is leveling up the other disciple of the land worth it at all now? Really, what use is being able to find trees when I'm a fisherman? What happened to "sweat of brow" and other useful cross-class skills? Please tell me that you unlock them from the guild now or something.
The story doesn't seem on par with 1.0 either, like it was toned down, much like the graphics, the starting tutorial just rushes you through things.
And what is the deal with this butterfly unicorn rainbow happy fun time armor? A HUGE reason I loved 1.0 were the earthy colors, I know you can dye them, but why dye them when you'll just switch them out soon? I swear, just about every piece of equipment I get is some variant of pink.
...I want 1.5 or 1.8, whatever, I want it back....
Edit: ...what happened to the fishing minigame? did they take out the botanist and mining one too? that is what kept me going farming all that time...
Out of curiosity....

If by last version, you meant 1.23 then yeah they listened to OTHER players. Just more people with a different opinions compared to yours. They can't satisfy everyone now can they? I haven't leveled up DoL yet since I'm still going through story and stuffs but different DoL gather different stuffs at different levels for different crafts. Tell me you can honestly fish up a piece of ash wood for your carpentry. Graphics toned down? What are you talking about? I took a look at graphics in 1.0 and it was horrendous compared to this. Dying isn't even that much. The minigame was removed cause many people didn't like it. Again, they listen to players, just not you.

Can't really say I (or anyone in our FC) agrees with you, so maybe it was us they were listening to?

08-31-2013, 12:55 AMTurkeysammichThe graphics have been toned down to let lower end PCs play it. They even said that they were going to dull the graphics down in 2.0 for casual players. You must have had a crappy PC it looked great before they switched to 2.0.Quote:

"Aug 2013" lol no you didn't, so anything you say is invalid. -

I'm glad I chose an EU server, cause my Merican brethren are so fat and lazy that they ruined a perfectly good game, I'm surprised they didn't put in duels or made pvp only servers. -

After having finished the game... the story is much better. No i don't want to go back to copy and pasted terrain and no i don't want to go back to laggy and slow interface menus and the boring 1.0 combat system. The armor in this game is almost a direct copy of armor from 1.0, they just added a few more sets and more dye variety. It's time to get off your nostalgia high horse.

09-02-2013, 01:55 AMTurkeysammichThat's good to know, I was feeling a little depressed about it, depressed about everything...taking out fishing as a class, and for some reason I remember more cut scenes, heck...you can't even die in the story missions, NPCs keep healing you, everything just seems so dumbed down, I feel like everything is just an insult. The copy and paste was when 1.0 first started, toward the end that had been fixed.Quote:

Someone hit the bottom of boredom out of being locked from the game SO HARD that he actually thinks 1.23 and older versions of the game were better on any sense...
We need a psychologist over here.
And change topic's title to "Out of boredom....". -

Really. It is obvious that 2.0 has better graphics. -
09-02-2013, 02:23 AMTurkeysammichMaybe lmao I haven't been able to log into my transferred character in forever, but I'm liking the new Manthra. Graphics aside, it doesn't seem dumbed down to you? gathering is awfully boring and easy now, you just click on something and you get to choose whatever item you want, and you have NPCs "hold your hand" in missions. It just feels like it was remade to fit people who want their rewards as fast as possible with as little effort put in as possible.Quote:

Do you know why they changed the gathering and fishing mini games? PEOPLE COMPLAINED AND VOTED FOR THEM TO CHANGE IT! What do you think the player surveys were for? People complained, SE LISTENED, and now we have people complaining again. They can't please everyone, and when people voted for these changes, they listened and changed what needed to be changed according to the players. People complained the armor is too bland, so they fixed that with the higher level gear like af, vanya, company gear, etc in 1.0. In ARR, they added the ability to dye gear, and offered it in different colours from quests. Graphics are worse then 1.0, but not by a hell of a lot. A Direct X 11 client is in the works. PS4 client will be DX11, and when the PC DX11 client is done it will be released for free. This has been stated numerous times. Really, SE listened to those who voted, and changed what the players wanted to change. Go look at the Player Surveys and see for yourself.
