Let’s start with the disclaimers:
I play on PS5
I play PvE
I have been in the game since July 4, 2018
These are my thoughts on Ch3
I had already built a bar in the main base in preparation. I learned the skill before aquiring the bartender so I added the bar itself, and went off to run a purge.
During the purge, in which I aquired a rather attractive young lady to run my establishment, I had the opportunity to test the “new” combat that everyone is up in arms about. I had suspected, based on what was said, and the infamous Wak video, that nothing would change. And, there were no changes. PS4/5 players have always had to turn with the left stick before attacking. I was actually surprised PC worked the way it did. It just seems wrong. Anyway, combat was pretty fun as it has been.
I like being able to dismantle the legendary stuff I don’t want. I like that the bench will not let you put anything in it that can’t be dismantled.
I do like that I can once again repair my Godbreaker boots.
The bar got a few customers over time. There weren’t any I could hire yet.
Now, the raid castle. I can’t say anything about it, since we haven’t been able to do it yet. There is a gigantic build right in front, so trebuchets can’t be placed to hit the door. The lag and stuttering are too bad to even stay in the area very long. Yes, I do know that several players have reported it. Nothing has been done yet.
The new Aesir set looks nice. The Aesir ceiling bug is not fixed, despite what the patch notes say.
Overall, it was a satisfying experience. It just did not have the WOW factor.
