Siptah seemed to be intended as a PvP paradise with a frequent map wide event to throw chores into the mix. Then complaints rolled in and the event was removed and systems changed. NPCs arrived. difficulty was reduced. new lands were tacked on… and still complaints rolled in.
Now, Siptah seems to be abandoned for the most part.
For my part, I’d really envisioned it as an extended part of the exiles journey that could have been, but wasn’t. It could have been something that was accessed by a random surge grabbing players. it could have been something that was an option after successfully completing the bracelet quest. It could have been something accessed from the disjunction in the ice keep, or a portal in the well of skelos, or by completing a quest for the archivist… then the player fights to survive the trip to reach the tower to return to the exiled map.
It could have been so much more that it has become.
I appreciate the newish environments. I like the vaults and the varied starting locations. I miss the wild surges that used to randomly appear across the map dropping thralls and creatures from the exiled lands.
