Snip

I actually completely agree with you, I was just throwing LoV out there as something that we are getting that we can look forward to. In my eyes the game completely lacks Midcore content, which is a shame because it used to be quite good at it, during 2.0 the midcore content was finish your zenith and beat the HM primals, which was great preparation for coil, and was enough (for 3 months) for the masses to do as "difficult" (titan) content. My main issue is that bismark and ravana didn't last 4 weeks, let alone 5 months, had they been viable content for the duration of the patch, things would have been fine.

A suggestion I have is to dramatically increase the amount of valued "non gear upgrade" rewards to keep content relevant. add minions, mounts, titles, or idk, something crazy like housing items to the primals, to coil, to CT, anything that adds longevity to these pieces of content and makes more relevant content without making more content. Kirin was great because it made all ex primals from 2.1-2.4 relevant content again, and players actively participated in this old content and made 2.5's 5 month patch cycle a lot easier for me, its even gotten to the point where people might be running 2.x Ex primals more than HW Ex primals, which is a hilarious, and rather sad thought
