The Expansion...Really?

Surely I am not the only one disappointed by the expansion. I stopped playing this game months ago because progress with leveling was painfully slow and boring. No matter the quest nor instance, it was a pain to make any progress. Quests that require you to kill 80 plus number of mobs, bh's that give you about 2 to 5% after turning in at least 3 (not to mention the risk of dying and losing xp), and then there's FF...sighb:sad. Maybe I should just stop complaining and quit the game altogether but my God I got excited when I checked on my friends on this game and saw an expansion was on the horizon...

Of course once the expansion arrived it was an intensely large file that downloaded painfully slow unless you got the manual patches (which I didnt see until after the update was nearly finished). All this effort for content I cant even see b:surrender. I realized you had to be lvl 95 to have access to the new area, skills, gear, etc. Ten levels from the level cap? Why bother? Why not just make it for 100 or 105? Some number that's not practical for people who dont have money to spend on this game for refines and gear, or time to go grinding or go to FF. Maybe if I had a sin friend who could solo all instance in ten minutes but I dont have that, and also its kinda boring. To achieve anything in this game it seems you need to be either considerably wealthy, or dedicated, or have lots of time and patience, or make some nice friends. Wow, kinda sounds like RL too

Seeing the expansion there but inaccessible is an eyesore. I have a beautiful new song to hear and background to see as I load my toon, and then the same old same old. Ive talked to some people about the expansion and they say, "hey its a good motivator to get to 95." I wish that were true but the game hasn't made it any easier to get to 95 -.- and not only that my main which is a psy, seems to have some pretty useless skills from the different factions in the new realm. SO motivation = ZERO, I really wish this was geared toward slightly lower level cap so that itd be practical to increasing the enjoyment of the game. Seems like you only rewarded the power levelers and cash shoppers for their "hard work." No offence to any of you who have made 95 the "hard" way. This is not the change I expected PWI

    If this was the era before Hypers+FF I would agree with you. However, with BH, CoF, and a few FFs a day (among other dalies), its not hard to level at all.

    Thats correct. Certainly you've got at least one or more of the above?

    Its already easy enough as is to reach 95...

    Psychics didnt get a lot of game-changing skills like the others, but their skills are useful nonetheless (instant-heal Ironguard? the ability to protect others by absorbing their damage?)

    This expansion is the best one. Ever. Ijs. And I've been here for 3 years... I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but I can't see how anyone can find this expansion lame. Unless you're a R9+12 hardcore CSer who only plays for PvP <.< Even if you're this kind of person, there's still the new skills to get. Oh, wait, you don't need skills with R9+12...

    Jeezus. Slow leveling? You should play 3 year ago. You would see what is slow leveling. No Bhs, No hypers, no FCC as you know it today. Just never endless grinding to level.

    I much rather do the quests and just enjoy the game. I had all my normal skills maxed out before I even reached 89 culti. Ive finished all my quests and Ive reached 95. This expansion imo is awesome and now I have more to do and explore.

    Wish they would fix avatars. Im not 87 anymore lol

    I suppose im just bored with this game because its not suitable for me personally. You all can do those Hyper FCC and all that junk Im an old school gamer and maybe its just not my taste. Not to mention that I am quite busy with daily life and when I play a game I would like to be able to advance in some way quite rapidly. Reminds me of the "curse of duty." COD has always been a game people can get into because you get in so fast and you just start getting new stuff every moment it seems. Hard to quit that for anything that takes more than 10 minutes to have some fun. Well i guess ill just quit Pwi

    If that's the case, quitting is your best option.

    I say that with zero sarcasm. If it's not suited for you and you aren't enjoying it, there's no point in continuing to play it.

    Normal people when they don't like a game simply don't play it(Or stopped playing if they were).

    PWI players seems to have the urge to QQ in the forums,I wonder what's the point....

    As if the first 84 levels didn't register and once they got to level 85 and heard a "DING! I don't think this game is quite for me?!?!?!!". Amazing.

    You have your words backward. Old school gamer loves grinding, they love having to spend lots of time to be able to achieved something.
    You want everything instant, you're a 2012 gamer. ijs.

    There is a reason that they added it for end game people, its because there was a lack of quests to do end game and now its buffeted by the new influx of quests.

    The skills were to change up and balance the older classes

    The last few updates have focused on lower levels its time that they did a update for end game. This is not to say this update discluded lower levels either they added several lower level quests and a few new things to do. However you must realize that there is already a lot to do at any point before 90, if you are having issues finding things to do then you need to look harder.

    You say you don't like BHs but they only take an hour to set up and run if you don't have an hour to devote to this game your probably playing the wrong game. You don't just pick up a mmo for 20 mins you won't get anything done......... CoD matches take 15 mins but you typically spend well over an hour playing them. Whats the difference?

    These statements are contradictory. Please do some of us real old school gamers a favor, and stop addressing yourself as such.

    I will save you the trouble of leveling to 95 to see the new expansion junk.... you will be 100% disappointed! When you get there sure there is a new area to explore but it is short lived as the quest line can be completed in a few hours. After that you are basically going to have goals that are months away (yet again)

    after you get from that 95 section and finally level to 100 it will be a "I want *insert gear here*" then you will proceed to farm TT and Nirvana 1 billion times because they neglected to add anything new to farm in the game.

    After you've farmed nirvana 1 billion times got your nirvana gear then you're going to want rank 9

    proceed to farm Nirvana 1 billion more times and then you will finally get rank 9... by then you can either finally enjoy the game for the PVP or you will be bored out of your mind and wondering why you wasted so much time on the game.
