New quest items
Alright so first iteration was complete garbage
next go round was a bit better but i still have some concerns
First off, this was not a Class Balance update, it actually made one of the stronger classes into an extremely good class (Fighter)
Balance updates should go from the bottom up, not from the top down
the 2 classes that needed the help most (Theurgs and Monks) got the most expensive upgrade needed that most people do not have or can afford
so even if there was "balancing" done.... the people that need it the most cannot access it
i've been saying this for a while the reason why the playerbase has been getting smaller and smaller is because the early game is so damn hard to break through, and adding stuff like this discourages players from even trying.... Take Ruin on S1 for example, finally started getting access, gets hyped about beasting, then hits the realization that SoSe is locked behind a potentially 750k - 1m ash wall THEN gets thrown in his face that he can't access the new content
something needs to be done to adjust the early game and make it easier for newer players to thrive
this was not one of those updates
I love you jeff and i love this game, that's why i keep coming back and throwing money at you, but something has to change to allow new players to make a comeback and stick around
