New expansion...that's it?

I mean, as people know, I don't really care about cosmetics and such and basically, the only thing you can get from the Wonderland are A and S-Packs? Really? Damn, I'm so glad. Saves me loads of time. Another update I do not have to participate in because its an utter waste of time.

This might come off as rude and I am indeed a bit disappointed about the lack of farmable Astrospira level2 and 3 which I hoped would be available in the Wonderland but welp, it saves me loads of time. Thanks, I guess.

I might be a minority of hardcore progress players but basically everything that doesnt make my chars stronger is completely pointless to me xD what a surprise :D

    I had to go back through the post to really look at the rewards again. All this hype over a new expansion and this is it.The mount dont even look badass enough for me to want it.I guess ill do it for avatar cards. I really was expecting something massive with all that's been going on forums as of late. Seems most of the nowadays forum post are related to f2p/pve content and the state of the game. I think players over all are becoming fed up of the current situation and its showing in game and on forums, anyway players near and far pwi has come to the rescue, go ride their brand new roller coaster in wonderland

    Well, we're also getting the new trials, but we'll have to see if the rewards are worth the time needed to clear them. I'm surprised we haven't had a news post over them yet, but they might be saving the information for later news posts so that we have something to read while waiting for the launch. With that said, new fashion is always good content. mouse-29.gif​​

    No, you can get a bunch of stuff that you apparently don't care about. So no, that's not it. Just because you don't care about them doesn't mean they're not content, bud.

    My goal is for the fashion hence a temporary return plus I'm certain the area will look way nicer than on those screen shots. I'm not too focused on anything but the fashion and the fact it can be earned than bought is pretty nice. If I get card packs on the way well ok bonus....but that Astrid fashion..

    Not that your response made any sense, but we all know you need 10 people to get past reflection.

    The latest expansion also contains new skills (you'll probably forget the "op sin problem" because of barbs and seekers) and renewed faction base with new quests. These quests allow farming r8r2 resources (although I don't know, why anyone in pwi version of game would ever need them) and S-card sets. Just to mention, Wonderland is temporary event, so it might be unavailable some time later (something like museum event).

    Its PWI, what were we expecting?

    They do not listen to the player base so the game doesn't improve, as it hasn't done for years now. Everything is based on making a bigger divide between end games and the rest. Treat the big cash players but ignore the rest.
    I'll give it a 2 weeks maximum till everyone gets bored of this stupid theme park it and it becomes the Chernobyl of PWI with no one there..

    At least they could make it a ghost Park then. With some OP mobs. May be a ghost boss you can't kill cuz it's dead...

    yeah.. not even 2 weeks @valdisman this thing will become a chore.... most definitely. as a forsaken world refugee myself... the carnival inside the game was fun.... then you realize it doesn't actually help you in the long run but just one big time waster. ahem..... how many dh runs need to get lvl 10 glyphs? hahaha

    The Theme Park is already dead. Some people might try it for the lulz and thats it. Nothing even remotely worthwhile in there. Already a complete waste of time.

    PvE and gear progression is still good...the issue is that the theme park does nothing for Gear progression at all and is thus completely useless. Other parts of the update are decent..like skills, Faction Trials and so on, just not the theme park.

    Games need to give player and Incentive to actually run their content...just as most older farming instances like Nirvana...this theme part has none at all. It's a waste of time.

    It's not really a waste of time since you can farm S Packs there.

    Full list of changes here Patch Notes

    The Themepark is meant to be something fun for a wide variety of users :)
    We'll be running some events alongside the theme park opening, so I hope you will participate!

    War Avatar Crafting, Faction overhaul/features added, Faction Base Trials making a return - there's alot more here than just Adventure Kingdom (which is only open during certain occasions anyways).

    I saw we have to wait another 2 weeks before we can enter and have a look. Now that you mention its not a permanent thing to be opend that makes more sense now.

    Thanks for another nuke on the PvE side of game.

    Removing Perfect Stone farming from OHT.. @kalystconquerer#0876 Might aswell just remove all mob drops and PvE basis to this game. I guess with Surtr going is a pretty big sign about where the game is headed..

    Unfortunately the mounts are terrible too. Just a slight rework of existing ones. The whale mount looks 6/10 but then you need to pay to win the other 4 in other to get it.

    The trials is the only good thing about this expansion. I just hope they don't break again and stay broken for another couple years.

    That being said, might spend my note stack and start re-daily play a barb. That massive 90s immunity from all negative status effects at lvl 10.

    Has not been worth the time to pick up any drops outside the primal dungeons, or to a lesser extent, endless universe, for years, DH drops are still worthwhile (until the designers decide to bind all the glyphs).

    On the rare times I did delta, the tears were a nice bonus where I could get some perfect stones, alas no more.

    After a quick look through the cabbage patch notes, I found almost nothing that is to my advantage, even the extra 2 skills are in effect just spirit and money sinks. The swords to plowshares daily is now worthless since squire badges can no longer be exchanged for lvl 1 glyphs.

    Remind me where to get fairy boxes. I have not seen one drop in the last year, so why is the transmutation master now using them as an input?

    Increasing the number of Feral Soul Stars is probably worthless as well, I have evolved all the veno pets I want to, and have all pets at at least lvl 100, I cant afford to get the 2nd 8 (or 10) pet cages so what I have is all I will ever get, consequently I have not needed any Feral Soul Stars for 6 months.

    New mounts are similarly useless to me, I have all my pet cages filled, and possibly 50 pet eggs dispersed around my various alts. Can't afford more cages, same as for veno alt.

    Sources of Mirage Celestones are being removed, not really affecting me until they are removed from the BH rewards, just makes it more difficult to gather the 12 needed to open Warsong if I sell all of my stock for quick teleport money.

    Enough. Summarizing. Again Free to Play players are more disadvantaged, yet another in-game revenue stream has been removed. Maybe I will have to farm materials for ultimate substances in order to complete my rank 9. At over 50k each on Etherblade it is looking more attractive with each update.
