Favorite Game changes since you started playing

Genies

Auto-Path

Hands down the best addition to the game no matter what anyone says. And I am sure anyone who was around before auto-pathing will agree to this sentiment.

Like:
-Tide Quests/Treasure Quests, 1m+ coin and a bunch of exp is awesome.
-Genies
-Item linking
-Fashion Preview
-HP display on mobs

-Kinda half/half on fcc and hyper. Like the fact I can cheaply do a single daily fcc and eventually hit 100 from casual play. Dislike the fact there's little satisfaction in it.
-Half/half on DQ points too, since the whole reason they exist is because we lose a ton of money NPC'ing DQ

Dislike:
-Hands down, BH. Single handedly destroyed the social atmosphere in-game.
-Triple BH. Dunno what they were smoking on that one.
-Jones Blessings, should have been 15atk-15def like anniversary blessing so they don't wreck PvP.
-DQ nerfs
-3* decomp nerfs
-TT nerfs
-TW nerfs
-Packs
-Removal of numbers on hotkey bar
-Duke spam
-Bidding hall and the walls of system messages
-And so on...

I started like the week before it was implemented. Certainly made WQ a lot easier to handle.

Since I started playing? Genies were there when I joined lol... Hm, lemme think.
I love the Goshiki quest chain, Public quests and the new Dragon Point system.

But I really hate Hypers at low lvls. They are fun after 80 in FCC (that's when I started hypering). But low lvl hyper freaks usually become fail players at higher lvls. I recently met a lvl82 Barb who hasn't finished his lvl29 culti saying it was too long and boring... -_- He said he just joined a week ago and hypered his way up... Ugh.

Happy Face things:
1 BH a day Meh, you can stack them if you do it right XD
Marriage Quests Very much agree
Faction Slogans The spacing is very nice, now
TB quest chain This took my sin from 43 to 45 in on sitting
Lochmur quest chain The ring from this is b:dirty
Auto Pathing Nice, but can be a little glitchy...liked auto-ing to things "in another zone"
Item Linking Bit glitchy, especially on extended things (inventory, bank, etc.)


Not Happy Face things:
Packs Good and bad...the tokens are nice
Assassins No big problem here, other than to uber-squishies
Packs See 1st "Packs" answer
Hyper Spamming noobs AGREE. 'Nuff said.
TT Have yet to see TT3-x, but the drop nerf is harsh
Packs again See 1st "Packs" answer
TW (thus eliminating the reason for high levels to even stick around.) Meh, good and bad...prevents easy holding when a large amount of territory is gained, but makes it hard to want to bid
Packs See 1st "Packs" answer

My opinions are in red.

Now for some of my opinions outside of what Born said.

Changes (some good, some bad)

Packs
While packs for endgame gear and such are bad, they are good because of the majority of what comes out of them - tokens of luck. Those alone have driven down prices on things like flawless shards by thousands of coin. However, due to the high demand, gold prices stay in the five hundred thousands, if not five hundred fifty thousand plus.

Hypers
Hypers (and oracles, but not so much) are severely misused in this game. People cash shop right at the beginning and hyper their characters up as high as they can, never learning anything about how to play their character in the process. I believe that a minimum level for use of hypers would be a great idea, but doubt it will ever happen. I personally leveled this character up into the 80s before I even touched hypers, and those ones were given to me. Level 70 would be a valid minimum level, if not even 75 (to correspond with first FC quests).

Marriage Quest
I was so glad when they implemented these. They make the game enjoyable, and give the players some time to spend with their special someone. However, too many of them require the couple to go in seperate directions, or just don't involve actually working together. I think that PWI would be wise to make some MQs that are scaled to level, so that the lowest level of the married player determines which MQs they can get. This would make the process more fun and more challenging, and would make the couple actually work together. (Personally, killing level 39ish mobs just isn't challenging for an 85 barb...b:surrender)

Autopathing Changes
I came when Autopathing was already enabled (if it ever wasn't), but I really don't care much for the recent changes to it. The fact that you can no longer fly to an instance by using a reference point inside that instance is rather annoying, as it requires me to actually locate the instance on the map and alt+click on it (call me lazy if you will, I just hate doing this). I think reverting back to the previous autopathing, with pathing to bosses in instances and such, would be nice (but will probably never happen)

Assassins (and Tideborn in general)
The Assassin class is now the most squishy class in the game. It is extremely hard for them to kite effectively before they get shadow teleport, and even after that their hp is low enough that most bosses will kill them in 1-2 shots. However, they become extremely powerful in PvP endgame. This makes a lot of people hate them (and Force Stealth does seem a tad OP, I know), but they needed a lot of their skills merely to survive pre-5aps. Now, as soon as a sin gets 5aps, they no longer even need a cleric (Bloodpaint heals them just as well). Meanwhile, the psychics try to steal the cleric's job if they go sage, having purify on their Bubble of Life. The only things that the psychic can't do is resurrect, and there are scrolls for that (well, at least once every 15 minutes or so XD). I really don't mind sins in general, 5aps BMs are more who I have a problem with.

Guess I'll stop before I get a HUGE WoT...lol

...too late >.<

I like hugs.

- Xmas event next month make the snowmen in the towns do AOE explosion like Bodybag Infernals from SOT

I'd say spawn Harpy Wraiths instead of snowmen for a change.

Good:
Autopathing. By far the most awesomemest idea ever.
TW change. Go ahead people, hate me for it. I just reckon that one faction getting half a billion coin a week, while great for them, kinda sucks for everyone else.
Item linking. Nifty. Saves me looking up stuff in pwdatabase, and can easily see stuff like gems, refine, random stats, without needing to ask about them all.

Bad:
Genies. Stupid flying little things. Back in my day, when you had a little annoying flying thing it meant you were a baddass high level who'd managed to complete their sage/demon culti.</old>

Well I started in 2007, when leveling was grinding your *** of to the extreme and buy tons of hieros for zhen. I enjoy the BH, FC, Hypers and other things that make leveling more easy. I also like genies and the new weapons and dungeons.
I hate assasins, way too OP.

Hm.
Linking
Being abble to preview fash b:cute
Auto-path.
I guess genies were nice

-A proper find quest window. Before it would just pop up a box with a random quest you had and coords to the npc to start it.
-Item linking
-Preview Fashion
-Genies
-ummmm...Nirvana

Autopathing
1 BH per day
Fashion preview feature
Item linking
HP bars numbered on mobs


Unfortunately the bad far outweighs the good these days. Give us back our old Lunar, FF and most important our old TT. Give us back our 1 BH a day. Put the numbers back on our hotkeys. Fix rubberbanding. Tell the Duke to shut up about packs and put the Bidding Hall on its own channel so we can filter it out. Stop taking away holiday events that are free and fun and just giving us cash shop sales instead. And quit punishing us because people are botting and hacking in another version of the game.

Good:
Auto-pathing.
Genies.
Hp number
Item-linking.
Buff filter.
fixed faction slogan.
fashion-preview ( for fash additct atleast)

Bad:
Packs(can be discusses cos tokens cheap bh, but ruined high mat market - coin)
Tw changes
TT 3-x changes.
3x bh.
Hypers.
Revamped FC.
30% dq reduce ( dq points now tho, so its ok)
