Thread: 2.2 has sucked all the fun out of the game...

2.2 honestly I feel was a small step in the right direction for this game, the path is was on was 100% unsustainable longterm for a large segment of the population.

So far pre-2.2 the game has catered to only those with limited time. The weekend warriors. Once mastered the games content took maby 4-5hrs a week to do everything worthwhile in the game. For a hardcore player that 1/7 days worth of playtime.

Long term content and things that are not insta-drop where needed. And I hope SE ignores the so called 90% that is saying how horrible this is... because 95% of the game is already geared to those people. Casual need to stop whining when 100% of everything is not catered to them. Hell the Upgraded relics in general are gimp even when fully upgraded when compared to the BIS piece.

People who hate working for items... do one of the many alternatives this game has....... This is how a mmo should be made content for everyone, not content for the lowest denominator or largest segment of players only.

Now with that said almost everyone I meet hates the relic system. Casuals, midcores, and hardcore alike. The casuals hate it because it requires a huge time sink, many hardcores hate it because the weapon requires work and it is subpar, Other hardcores hate it because it forces us to do FATES which huge segments of the population just hate all together. Midcores are some of everything it seems.


SE needs to revamp longterm content:
1) Make it equivalent to the BIS gear when 100% drops are not garenteed. Make the work worth it.
2) Base some of the goals on guilds. Require more then mindless solo zerg. Longterm goals are more bearable when you are doing them with a guild or friends.
3) Stop making items strait Stat increases.
4) STOP PUTTING CONTENT IN FATES!!!!!!


To the casuals who are flipping out because 5% of the game is not for them. Deal with it and play the other content that was designed for you or quit, stop trying to ruin it for those who want stuff to do after more then 10hrs a week of playtime. Remember Relic Weapons are not any better then stuff that drops from Non-Grind related activities.

- I began crafting an item needed (50 High Quality total) for my new crafting weapon. After I ran out of High Quality resources, I moved on to the Normal Quality resources. To my amazement, I was able to craft
at perhaps a 85% High Quality pass rate. During the process I converted my old tool and melded another one gaining 1 extra craftmanship skill. Went on to attempt to craft up the rest of my non
HQ resources only to have a 2% HQ pass rate. (I did not upgrade my tool enough to change my progress rotation) All i did was fail, fail, fail, fail. I went back a few hours later. Same thing: fail.
Equipped another tool like the one i was using before, and did nothing but pass. I was penalized for having BETTER equipment! This game is fail lmao indeed!!!

Same here.

I honestly don't know how anyone could say 2.2 sucked the fun out of the game? Did SE remove any part of what was fun before? To me, they made old content more accessible for everyone and added content.

And as for the atma fate grind. It seems to me like it was a good idea. (hear me out) Yes, at first, there were swarms of people doing fates for atma so lower lvl people couldn't participate. But the hype is wearing off and many people are done with fates. So higher lvl people doing fates can actually be helpful to others who are leveling. And what about the fates that need to be completed to unlock CT? Most people cannot solo those. And people who have already unlocked CT wouldn't participate in those fates otherwise. So the atma farm is helpful to those that need those fates to unlock CT.

I don't see why you are complaining about the content blockage of Twintania. If you can't kill it--and even with the echo buff now--then you're clearly not ready for the content after, as it doesn't get any easier.

You're not going to have a good time playing alone, and that's the same with all MMO's. There is no respectable MMO I can think of where you can do end game content without a dedicated group.

You obviously haven't done the atma grind, or started myth farming/books. You're trying to give your input on something you haven't done.

I am having more fun than ever before
