Hey,I quitted around when NW came but then i played a bit more on the European server.Now i wanna know how is the game atm.I suppose nirvana isn't used to make money anymore but what about TT,Dq farming?Are there any other ways?
Also,are there new players,or it's mainly old players who create new characters and thus,nobody to quest with.(I heard quests got revamped and stuff).
Is it still pay to win?(Probably it still is,but i thought that with the easier way to get nirvana gear,it should somehow balance out?).
Anything else i'd need to know?New instances or stuff since NW came?Thanks!

Edit: Are aps characters as much needed as they used to be?How is venomancer and how much do the new pets cost?

    Not really, Unless farming something like TT or FW. The new Dragon's Den instance has anti aps buffs on some of the bosses as does the SoT bh boss. PvP wise, aps isn't near as efficient as it used to be. a DPH sin has much better surviviablity than an aps sin.

    Well for me TT drops have been horrible, most time getting 0-1 Green mat from bosses, on multiple chars with different levels, both soloing (squad mode) and squad.
    DQ farming will be pointless if going for DQ rewards as they are phasing that system out soon. Prices for NPCing them will remain, as far as I know, wouldnt put it passed PWI to nerf the coin value tho as the reason they are gettng rid of DQ is due to botting.

    I havent seen any new players, just alts of the old players. New players are mostly turned off from the game when they realize to compete you need to cash shop, or grind your balls off 27 hours a day. So yes, still pay to win. Nirvana gear is easier to get, but so is the rank9 recast, so rank9 still owns nirvana.

    New instances there is one, but from what I hear, you need a really OP squad.
    There is quests but they give a title next to your name thats about it. Other stiff was half ***** released and quests were given but NPCs werent in the game yet. May have changed but I didnt bother to check.

    APS has been some what nurfed. The character hasnt but COA bosses and some other bosses are giving a buff that triggers when melee damage is dealt that reduces melee damage. ie COA event takes an hour now as opposed to 20 minutes before.

    High aps built characters are pretty much useless for all new stuff.

    I beg to differ, I`m 4.0 and still manage to do just fine. Though, my defense is trash and I eat charms like candy.

    They didn't mean literally; more that skills are preferable.

    You joined a guild only a few months ago, thus did not "quit", so one way or another I'm sure you know what's going on already and are just trolling.
