3.26 Feedback

Hi,



As tradition, my feedback to the last expansion, 3.26 :



T16.5 Originator Maps are a great expansion to the current Endgame; they indeed fulfill their job of filling the gap between T16 and T17, as the Maps can be rolled with Orbs and therefore the difficulty can be fine-tuned.

The new Pinnacle Bosses are superior in terms of animation, combat feeling, and mechanics. I'm sure you can raise the difficulty of them easily, as they only seem to be in training mode at the moment.

Well, the meta shake-up was not big enough, and the power creep is damn real. We need more significant nerfs to existing builds (e.g., Penance Brand), and we need tougher bosses in general .

The Betrayal "Rework" did fail. You can not even call this a rework, as the GUI is the same, the same confusion, and furthermore, the Veiled Items became 100% useless... You definitely missed an opportunity here to make a significant change in how to interact with Betrayal. The only thing that changed was the Mastermind Fight is a Fragment now; all the rest is the same and became even worse.

The Atlas Endgame Tree becomes boring... it's always the same. Every strat needs to pick all "Explicit Modifier" effects—Atlas needs a complete rework; it's by far much less exciting than Idols of the Phrecia League.

To Mercenaries ... there were better League Mechanics already.

Settlers going Core was done very well, but it's somehow mandatory to do it, at least set it up once... I'm not sure if I will like all the upcoming leagues.

Graphic and game performance is as bad as it ever was.

No Heist Rework—should be removed from the game in its current state. (Just run through Blueprints with Speedy Gonzalez and always see the same shit in the Reward Room—until finding the Jackpot—this is no gameplay at all.)

Best in this expansion is the Regex Extension... I think this is the biggest change, which also makes T17 Maps playable now;however , the T17 Maps still feel wrong—the layouts of them suck .

Expedition is complete garbage ... i am sick of it . And i dont want to see all the Symbols on my minimap during mapping ... its not possible in every Strat to block it. Its boring as well.

Wildwood and Sentinels spawn to seldom.



To Sum it up :



Overall the Expansion was quiet ok ... but yeah after 1 Year of no change at all ... it should have even been bigger ... the Core Endgame did not get any update and the Meta Shakeup wasnt signifaicant enough for me.



Cheers



Daniel
