Hey there!

What in particular are you wondering about that was in a “horrible state”? The actual sorcery spells themselves?
Those haven’t changed, some minor spells like detect resources had the reagent cost removed, but that’s about it as far as spells go.

Sorcery content though has been added in the form of golem crafting (in specialized golem workbenches) and an new “dungeon” where yo get to face Kurak

lets see…
you can get a blood pick in 15 mins into the server, get 60 in 2 hours
you can use detect resources to find the new blood rocknoses.
get thousands of steel and mats in 30 mins in the new dungeon that is easy to do.
get dozens of stacks of tar, steel fire and alchemical base

bats are the same
storm was nerfed, they still do damage to structures, but not one shotting like before.
ice bridge is the same

i think zombies were nerfed as well
summoned demons are useless as ever

meta is still light armor for players and heavy for thralls, nothing has changed.
spider boots and kurak pants give a toon of stamina so people are using that as well
having a mage in your team could be useful specially if the enemy doesn’t have one.

As for weapons, 2h star metal axe, daggers of dagon, khari bow, lemurian axe, lemurian trident are pretty popular.

and of course, the mario bros build that consist in crushing people with double jump and over encumbred.

since bats are a thing, apex base are USELESS. so if you want a base, you should only build in a cave or certain locations.

And now there is a cool golem mechanic that i actually like that consist in creating ̶e̶x̶o̶d̶i̶a̶ a golem with 5 parts with 12-20 k hp it scales depending on the tier of the golem “stone” “iron” “crystal” you can guess what tier is better.
The most interesting, to me is the one that has “lightning rod” and it actually counters the storm! and doesn’t take lighting damage. this is useful for base defense.
Another one is the “lotus burner chest” if you put for example a grey lotus it buffs you 20 % of str and agi weapons and it does stack with potion and food buff so give it to your best pvper!

there are others that does special things, like slowing the ground in an area but i think it also affects you so maybe is not the most useful thing.

3 downsides
1)getting the parts is RNG so is not really farmable in a war.
2)is weak to star metal weapons this is actually pretty good.
3)you cannot heal them/repair them.

overall, i think the game is in a better spot, but i think that still needs adjustment.
i am not really convinced about bats since it reduces the amount of buildable bases to only caves and you don’t really have much counter measures other than arrows that are not exactly easy to land.

and the new dungeon/npc vendors to me, is just stupid how you can pretty much ignore entirely the progression from stone tools to the highest tier in 15 mins and even get absurd amounts of steel, i remember when steel was a little harder to get. now you may even have to throw it.

i guess that this was designed with a pve perspective, idk.

I use Mass Cull for harvesting mats. That’s about it anymore.
