First off; disclaimer…the issues with invisible items and critters and other bugs have been reported on and I’m only targeting the stuff that is working.
1)challenges. LOVE THEM! Talk about driving me to play. Gawd, I never realized how much a tool I am at completing tasks. But just overall great thing and gives a sense of accomplishment over jumping around and running from inventory chest to inventory chest for 30 minutes.
- Events. OK I literally ran into my first event at the obelisk @ the bridge of betrayer. I was just planning on running some challenges and seeing how my undead legionnaire pet goes at some low lever stuff and boom. Getting attacked by 2X8ft tall dudes in wizard gear right after load screen. The stupid screen is fluctuating in darkness which is annoying but sets a more horror mood in the fight which triggered me to understand this is an event…that I’m not remotely prepared for. Then the 3 skull comes in and starts going at us. My poor limited supply legionnaire took one for the team and died. But it did give me the chance to take this big ugly down. All in all impressions was that of fun. I figured it was going to hurt since I didn’t have anything prepped but good time and a feeling of real risk was there.
3)Character getting bumped. OMFG. I am loving this. Actually going in the unnamed city by myself and doing things without thinking I am doomed. I am an agility build and I swear the AI on these guys go dumb because I can run circles around them in terms of reactions. haven’t taken on the RM yet but looking forward to it.
All in all, I don’t think the fixes will be that hard to get done and hopefully resolved today. But with the assumption these fixes are done, great experiences so far.
