    Eh, fair point. Still feel sorry for Thordan, SE should've done some kind of (harder) ilevel sync years ago.
    While on that subject, they also should've made it so you can't go in without job stones past Haukke. At least not while using DF, feel free to keep it in if you're in a full premade.
    Sorry for the tangent, had a Thaumaturge in Alliance Roulette yesterday

    Some of that may be adjustments for the AI but some I think are also just that many early mechanics had very obscure tells and were very unlike content we see now. Yoshi-P even mentioned that briefly in the last Live Letter, how Halatali doesn't look much like dungeons currently. A lot of things I noticed they changed were implementing mechanic triggers we see constantly much later that this earlier content was missing so sprouts would recognize those triggers in more current content. I don't think it's all for the AI. Some of it is just standardization.
    Could be, could just be me being a slighty grumpy fellow who felt the early dungeons were streamlined too much.

    Some kind of personal touch on the duty personnel would be nice. Being able to name them (within reason), have them chatter, grow, feel defeated if they get downed/there's a wipe, exultant over learning new skills. Embrace the full RP side of it.
    I loved the personal takes the scions had in ShB and up - and Ktisis was just a hoot to run through with trust - they should have the nameless trusts in the early levels more like that.

    Unless they already are? Haven't used them so I might just be spouting nonsense out of my rear.
