This patch dropped the ball hard

[RageForOrderX]

It's their job to extend the game, and make it enjoyable. If you're still sub'ed, they've done their job.

This system does a great job of elongating the experience, keeping Alex Savage difficult for a while, and giving many, many players a long road ahead to look forward to.

If I'm done my weeklies - which I think people are grossly underestimating the time it'll take the typical player to finish them - then level your alts, pick up DoH/L. There's more to the game.

What is wrong with you? Don't you know your playing an MMO known for grinds? What the hell is up with you people? Each month gets a patch, every three months a huge patch.

Has there ever been a thank you to SE when it comes to the content that they bring? Don't you guys understand that they have lives too? That they need rest as well?

=( Just give it a rest. Do other jobs, craft, gathering, socialize, help new players clear old content, golden saucer.

=(

Other MMOs? Like what, WoW? With a major patch who only gave twitter integration? how many dungeons has ArenaNet added to GW2 since launch?

Just a month after release SE added 2 raid tiers and a PvP mode, along with 3 different sets of gear and a ton of hotfixes. I wish Blizzard would do that.

Each of wows patches added more content they are added here. Remind me how many bosses Alex has again? Wow adds raids several times the sizes we have here. And 4 modes.

A PvP mode? Im sorry, anyone actually play pvp in this game?

Hotfixes happen more often in WoW then they do here.
Oh lol they finally patched Impulsive Appraisal today. Only took them since the release of HW to do.



They can only release patches as fast as they do here because of how little is in them. This has been the case since 1.0
''we prefer bringing you the patches faster so you wont have to wait so long''- something along those lines was said back then.

Why are they social death traps? Im not sure what you mean here.

Their server probably has an abundance of the type of people that whine at their party for not doing amazing in a dungeon when they are trying to get capped tomes

Ive never really seen many, if any, of these toxic people in my server before so I am not really worried about it

[Jetstream_Fox]

People hit the Cap = Done Farming = Less People Queue'ing for Dungeons = More Queue Time = Other People suffer
The same also goes for the Weekly Lockout for Items.
People get their Weekly Item = Less People Queue'ing = More Queue Time = You know...

It was common that Monday Syrcus Tower Raids were dead, while the next Day when the Reset hitted, you could Insta Queue or had to wait 5 Minutes for it.

This was/is my server to a T. Things were awful, then they got fun and even down right chaotic when they took the lockout off. It was enjoyable, what's not enjoyable is having new content running it, then never touching it for a week.

[Jetstream_Fox]

Wouldnt removing the lockout/cap make it so people stopped queuing after a week or two? The whole point seems to be to make it so people come back week after week. This seems like a good thing.

Umm no. The game allows us to play all classes at once. By having a lockout the game is forcing you to pick a class, main it and gear it first, then gimp everything. When the lockout was off all 3 towers I seen more players run the content because they could get classes geared properly and not worry about being gimpy. The same goes for tome limit, have two classes at 60? Geared about the same because of Law? Great now have fun gimping your secondary because the game restricted how much tomes you get in a week.

I can kinda understand your point for stuff that comes from roulette/DF. Maybe a lockout per job. Sadly for you getting the player base to come back week after week is significantly more important then the status of your alts.

I don't know where to begin with this, it's almost like they didn't learn. Nobody wants a 450 cap limit that takes month to gear toward, subsequently not everyone wants to do the hardest content available to upgrade said gear. With the fact that 190 gear JUST came out 2 weeks ago no one is even fully geared with that yet, the game is too flooded and too restricted in my eyes to be enjoyable. I don't know how anybody else feels, but to me this is a subscription breaker.

umm the easier 24 man coming in 3.1 will mostly likely have tools to upgrade to the strongest gear

Likely? Remember WoD didn't include any upgrade material until it became a weekly even. I know you could hunt for it but that's a huge gamble depending on each server. If they're going to throw out new content this fast, they need to include new ways to make it interesting to get. I honestly don't see how them adding additional ways to gear is even a bad thing.

Phantasy Star Online is still the game that had the biggest expansion pack that I've ever played. The moment they dropped episode 1 and 2 I knew I found one of the greatest games, I've logged more time into that game then any other, I don't even think I've played this game for 1/12 of the time I did PSO.
