module 6th: to be or not to be?

What do I need from NW? I think a few hours of entertainment per day would be a right answer
I was very surprised that module 6 forbid me to go on with my campaigns,
very surprised that module 6 level up the daily 3x encounters (so called 'escarmouches' in french)
to level 70
A level 60 has nothing to play with anymore. I did hope dev will issue a normal mode for level 60
and a elite mode for level 70. Dev does not seems to go this way...
One will probably tell me to farm level 70 for my toons but am I interested to drop all the hardly
obtained purple equipment with all it cost to personalize it and start the same process again?
Until module 7 to start it again? To be or not be? To follow or to quit?

But--- once you do, it really is fun. I am almost certain you will really enjoy the content again and find the game as much if not more fun than you did before.
What number did you intend to type? 9? They seem to release a new module every 6 months, so 2 years from now we'd probably be on module 9 or 10. . . .

I prefer to call it 'nearly suicidal'.

They are however, trying to fix it, but do to how many problems there were.. its a slow process. Im more encouraged now then I was at the start.
Frankly they shouldve not released a mod that broken, it was stated over and over in preview. No other release brought that much issues into the game, I mean there has always been known bugs, but there were SO many that I couldnt even keep track of them in the end, like literally every class has broken feats/powers, every weapon/armour enchant seemed to be not working (in specifically anything to do with additional debuffing/buffing aspects are completely boinked.. still!)
In fact, due to the extreme nature of the bugs, Im still not certain what the true difficulty level of mod 6 is.. I still think WE are making the game harder when we encounter mobs, due to this aspect. In addition there still seems to be something wrong with aspects like combat advantage for mobs.. instead of increasing damage to random mob packs by 20% or something.. it sometimes seems to give them 200%.. just weird stuff like that. Other times, it doesnt seem to be any more harder then normal
If they can fix the bugs, then we can complain about things. Bugs need to be #1 priority.
They said Artifact Gear would be long term equipment, after a half Module later we got a complete new set of “greater artifact gear”.
@Module 6
Module 6 was presented as big new shiny module, which is in my opinion quite the opposite.
We got 4 new areas to level up. The process of level up in these areas is a pain in the *** with vigilance quests that force you to wait till a new set of vigilance quest appear. 3 out of 4 areas are old maps with a simple rework (seriously, I can rework areas in the foundry by myself too and I am done in like a week per map if I would work 8 hours a day on it).
We got a new class, the Oathbound Paladin.
And that’s it. That is the whole Module 6 Content. All the other stuff like new armor, higher ranks for enchantments, new stat curve and level is only a big cash grab for Cryptic/PWE which simply leads to a reset of your gear progress and increased the cost to gear up equally before this module.
The worst in this Module is that we have now fewer Dungeons than before.
Will this happen again? Most likely, maybe in 1 to 2 years if they managed to keep this game alive.
It was sloppy, poorly implemented, and no real warning was given. Many of us spent money "gearing up" for Mod 6, only to find the brand new equipment was made obsolete. And they still haven't cleaned it all up, months later. Too late for a roll-back, too soon (?) to expect things to at least work as intended???
Not necessarily true. I still enjoy the game and play it. But much more muted. I could have done without Module 6. I certainly did not appreciate re-gearing or being forced out of areas I loved to play.
Nerfing Lifesteal and Regen for PVP may have been a good move for PVP--I have no way of knowing. But they were standard elements in PVE, and with the increased difficulty, even more needed. I found Mod 6 to be insulting. More people would agree with me, but they have already left the game.
This is a good point. HR had a few bugs fixed recently and my HR's DPS has nearly doubled based on ACT output. It's still more difficult than Mod 5 but it doesn't feel quite as hopelessly silly anymore.
"But.. I want to be able to do everything in the game even though I'm not at the max level!!"
Oh! That's your problem? Sorry - you're out of luck then... I guess if you're not willing to play the new areas, use the foundry, do PvP or run old quests (if you still have them) then you're out of luck since other than thousands of foundry quests, pvp and levelling areas to get you back to the actual end-game level where you need to be in order to do the campaigns, just like before when the max level was 60, there really isn't anything you can do...... </sarcasm>

It is not unfair. They could have made these three reworked areas interesting.
For example the Blackdagger Ruins/Drowned Shores has at the beginning a quest area which uses two separate mines.
We have two generic tube-like mines with one entrance and two exit (these strangely leads to the same entrance) and only random monster spawn without flair for the sole purpose to kill them for quests and even ALL the props are only there to be gathered for the quests.
A better way would be to generate a bigger map of a mine system that is partial flooded, main tunnels connected smaller tunnels which build up a small maze. At the flooded parts you could dive (not combat, simply travel) and get to a dripstone cave that is connected to the ocean where the enemy has his camp side and is invading the mine system to get control over the area above.
Did we get that what I wrote? NO. We got plain generic ****., there was no small spotlight in the areas, nothing that said “I am maybe an old area but look at this, this is completely new and you cannot find it anywhere else!!!” They didn’t even try. The only thing that was good and nice designed in these areas was the monsters design and by that I mean how they looked not the same generic attacks as always.
