Ok, i will start it, but please feel free to add your concerns and comments, maybe we can persuade the Devs for the next Mod to make it really unique again, with new dungeons, reworked classes, new skirmishes and new maps for the PVPers.
While i like the story of ToEE, like many DnD addicts, i have mixed feelings towards this Mod, but sadly more negative.
1. Invoking is useless for the player, good for company. I mean common, who is online nearly all the day, just to be able to benefit from this kind of invoking. Now multiply this on more toons.
2. Difficulty scaling failed.
3. Didn't go through all classes, but currently the SW Temp tree does under perform, way too much. We all knew, that life steal nerf would cut deep into this class.
4. Recycled content again! While i like the new monsters i get dizzy eyes from running 20+ times over an over the same circle shaped grotto. The places 90% recycled, i got the laugh to see the throne room, where normally Jareth Grim sits and now he shares it with more, what a nice chap he is. LOL If i was to come to my weekend PnP DnD party over and over again with such heavily recycled content, the guys would throw all DnD rule books at my head. LOL
5. Game mechanics. I will try to quote a guy from zone chat today, he said, this mod is simply an up scaled Mob fest, where you only need lots of Radiants in all defensive slots for more HP, cause the Mobs hit so hard.
6. Leadership nerf and no quests from Neverember. Is someone happy now about it, that we got less AD from invoking and less AD from daily quests.
The people, who hailed this nonsense, didn't see the wood from the tree, namely that for many months we will not get any decent amount of AD income, which can only be compensated by heavy funding. Good for the company, but bad for us.
There should have been a sweet spot, where it would have been good for both of us, but it was missed.
Just to tell the officials as a feedback, in guild we were only 5-6 people, the others either didn't log in or they came and went. Some are waiting a week or two for a patch, that must come, some are unhappy...

The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

2. Lifesteal and regen change - I dont like them. Regen is almost useless now and life steal is going to either overheal me or not heal me at all.
3. Invocation change is bad. Enough topics about that.
4. I really like alchemy change - always liked that and been crafting lvl 20 potions even when they were gone after death. New lvl 25 potions that persist through death are just awesome.
5. Minsc and Boo!
- Better than feared.
- Worse than hoped for.
- Minsc is ridiculously over the top...
...to be continued.
First of all, it is to difficult. These are NORMAL leveling trash mobs. This should be doable with NORMAL gear. Even with allomost TWICE the IL of casual players I die, if the mobs get near to me.
For some reason i have lags, whenever there are some players or mobs arround. It is worst in HEs. One time I triggered a HE, lag and dead. I was not able to dodge once or use one power.
With stable servers this could be fun for BIS or near BIS players. As it is, it is a insult for everyone, especialy for casual players.
b.. if your trying to do the lvl 70s at low 60s, you will need to have some skill and gear, they are much harder, but fun., unfortunately, its not at all rewarding, as you get the same crappy exp anyways.
c.. invoking.. meh, ya its a nerf, no 2 ways about it for most players, but whatever.
d.. Paladin, its fun.. just missing a sword..
e... lvl experience, I knew this on preview already, its a tad , boring, with repeating quests and recycled content. They cut way to far back on experience per quests, they should at least double or triple it.
you can easily solo lvls near you with item level 1500.. you can easily do lvl 70 content with item level 2-2200 or so. You WILL have a hard time (near impossible) to solo elites in like IWD with it though.
but like I said, its not like you have to do it.
Learn to adjust to the new play style. Dailies are harder now as it suppose to be done when you are at level 70, this bump to 70 when you are not level 70 is to give you a chance to do those dailies before you hit level 70.
The hourly quests to level up is pretty boring concept.
Overall, I am happy with this mod. They given us a lot of things that were quite nice.
1.) New main-hand artifact weapon that has access to all at-will types.
2.) Less AD generation to reduce inflation
3.) Increase pve difficulty
4.) Celestial coins no longer disappear if you forget to invoke or go on vacation
5.) New feats
6.) Non-augment pets are quite useful now when summoned so augment pets are not always BiS as summoned pets.
Will be interesting to try out the dungeons. Slowly, this game is becoming more group oriented which gives purpose for guilds. People have gotten so used to soloing because the mobs were too easy. Now they can still solo, but it will be harder. It can become easier if they learned to group up. Hopefully they add a true raid soon where we choose who to bring to the fight.
although you can solo most of the quest in the new areas. The HE are nice and harder then normal mobs.
there's some bugs to fix but other then that it's good!
We are always recruiting mature, family-friendly, helpful and courteous people www.guildmedieval.com
I only die once in the crab HE to revive a player and if I keep playing in my lvl I dont think I will have problems
I do more damage now they unnerf a couple of things(they shouldn't have nerf in first place)
repetitive yeah,but its new.I can still solo some of the HE's
LS and REG. I dont feel that I need them that much,as long if I can keep moving and use my powers in the right time I will survive
in PVE
I don't quite get the remarks I read about the difficulty. The new content is very doable solo, and the old endgame is now lvl 70, so I suppose it will be manageable also when my characters will be level 70 with a bit of lvl 70 stuff on them ...
So overall, in the end I think it will be a nice mod. It would just have been better with a bit more polish and with the old endgame content (Sharandar, Dread Ring, IWD, Well of Dragons) not accessible before level 65 or so : i.e. Sharandar 65, DR 66, IWD 67 and WoD 68.
Enorla, Oh so devoted cleric.
Was hoping for a couple quests here and there for 8000 exp, not dozens for half the normal amount.
I have noticed the new Leadership-Times.
How did i notice?
Because i have a F****** JOB!!!!!
14 Hours? 16 Hours?!?!
They might as well have set them to 24 Hrs for all i care, because when the Job runs out, i am either at work, or sleeping.
With 12 Hrs i could set the Jobs twice a day.
If they think i´m going to throw more of my hard earned money at them just for the off chance to get a hero, which saves 50% time (and makes it 12 Hrs instead of 16. Jea 50% of 16 is indeed 12. I hope that was calculated by the CHILD of one of their Devs),
THEY ARE SORELY MISTAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
issues i have are
invoking -reall 5 hour to compeate this need to be cut in 1/2
lag -all zones are so laggy your lucky if you can survive it
quests -wow no quest lines at all just repeat the same 10 quests over and over and over and over agin
new zones-all zones are reworked old zones nothing new
conter - nothing new here either
life steal - ok i understand the reasoning behind this but it would have been better to make this a steep curve rather than a prock now it might as well be a boon
pve gear sets- ok what were you thinking with the new stat curves we need the gear to run epics to get the gear you made all pve gear locked behind new curancy but pve gear can be bought day 1 with old curancy
this game is now complety unplayable be 50% of the people out there all the casual players
The Scourge Warlock took the biigest shot in the face withe the Life-Steal proc AND Tyrannical Threat now splashes half as much damage as before. TT & Dreadtheft being the primary offensive tool the class.
Other thing is a money greed to a point, where it is disgusting.
And the biggest threat for me is, i am losing my friends, who are willing to play this "thing". Still they don't get it...

Where is the problem? When a task completes, it waits for you to collect its result, you dont have to collect it in a given timeframe.
At present, I cannot see myself investing anymore time to learn the areas and monsters, let alone spending any money to Zen up, only to be a one hit kill. It was bad enough before with server lag to see my usual dance of destruction interrupted and winding up near death in a blink, but now if anything interferes with that dance, you're looking for another healing kit in your inventory. At least this wasn't as totally a gear driven system.
Very disappointing.
I had no problems healing with potions during combat. Felt my characters were at least as strong, maybe stronger that before. Finding stuff I'm supposed to find was harder than fighting thru the numerous baddies of various types. What I find odd is that I keep finding "green" equipment (weapons, armor, etc.) that is better (on average) than the purple stuff I've already got (not to mention the blue stuff).
As for the new praying procedure, it's generous for those of us who play a lot, but makes it hard to keep multiple characters maxed with free stuff. (I used to try to rotate thru my 4 characters every 60 minutes or so.)
Wasn't able to get into the game until about 2:12 pm PDT yesterday. No problems today until tonight at about 9:10 pm PDT, when I couldn't get in because of Arc having some kind of errors. Hope it's fixed by tomorrow night.
I wish they had a glossary to explain some of their terms -- even worse here with some of the abbreviations you guys use. And when I hit J to see what quests I have signed up for, it'd be nice if it'd tell me what areas they are in.
Both games are FTP.
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
Still, hiring some new environment artists not to give us the same old maps 50 times would be a good idea imo.
