Thread: 2.0 Leveling

I did when you had 15 people killing a crab that took a few minutes to kill, that was fun.

Out of all those 12 people, I'm the only one that returned to the game after we all quit. Pretty sure none of us considered that fun.

I think I'll stay with the fact that while I don't want AoE fests such as Natalan to exist, please don't make my character feel like a gimped fighter that can't even kill a crab by himself to progress.

They didn't stop because it took 12 people to kill a crap, they quit because there was nothing else, very buggy game.

either way we have new additions and changes each patch, they increasingly become more in depth and worth while. Looking at some of what their hopes are for 2.0 I feel very comfortable in thinking we have nothing to worry about. Yoshi has been doing amazing, along with his team all gunning to see each and every one of us happy. Realistically that can't happen, can't please everyone.. but I think we are looking at something that's going to be pretty close to just that. What little their was in this game from CE release day 1, when I started this game, up till now.. so much has changed and been added that its nice to just take a step back and say "wow". I always had hoped this game would mirror ffxi, a FFXI +1 if you would say, but looking at whats planned I'm happy. Time to sit back and let them do their work, don't look for too many major changes from here on till 2.0 Then the fireworks start!!

Man, come on I mean completely revamping classes, combat, claiming, leves, crafting recipes and crafting abilities while adding dungeons, strongholds, Primal fights, jobs, tons of new armor and weapons, low-level content like the NMs and Shposhae and also fixing a lot of the major basic issues with the game while creating an entirely new version of the game is hardly anything. I mean I could do that in like 4 hours.

After reading all your posts it just seems to be a lot of the same. I recommend patience and understanding... A lot has changed, a lot will change, and all the whining and ******* in the world wont change that =/. Yoshi and his team are amazing, I would dare you to take over and do better from the mess of a game they had to start out with. The game is going in the right direction in my opinion, i don't expect to like everything they decide to do, but I'll be happy. Otherwise why play?? There is a lot of good in the game, and a lot more they can do with it.. how about we wait and see.. i bet you will be surprised!
