I started in beta, played to about C5. Came back the other day to try out the game again and it has left a sour taste in my mouth. It went from what I considered a classy (albeit grindy) pvp centric MMO into... I don't even know what to call it.
It all started with the security pin. I don't want to talk about it, but please for the sake of sanity, drop it. Drop gameguard while you're at it, it obviously doesn't slow down the botting, just annoys the crap out of people trying to multi-box.
Then the awakening system. Entire sections of the map are utterly useless, entire classes serve no purpose, there is literally no gameplay below lvl 85. It's just a quick romp through a bunch of areas of the map, few days here and there and before you know it you're at 85. That's 85 levels of fluffy garbage. Why are there even level 40 raidbosses anymore?
Add on the mentor/adventure guide buffs. Another tool to just skip through these levels as fast you can. Also makes any pre awakening buffer a waste of time.
Karma. I was told after killing some bots (good job gameguard) that my -200,000 rep is near to get rid of. I should reroll completely at level 45 (goodbye sin eater quest?). What a completely stupid mechanic. I can't even comprehend who thought that would be a good idea. Might as well just not allow PK'ing under a certain level.
Bot's/RMT. It's bad. I thought it was bad before, it's really bad now. Half the toons I saw running around were bots. That's going to kill your F2P game in a jiffy.
These are just my observations while getting to mid 40ish levels. I don't really feel like going on, because if that's what I've spotted in 2 or so days of playing, I can see how bad it's going to get as I keep going.
My suggestions then (since it is a suggestion forum).
-Slow down the early game again. It doesn't have to go to pre-GoD grind, but at least let players create content in those levels. Let them ease into the L2 world and create conflict or explore areas that are relevant to their gameplay.
-Drop security pin and gameguard. It's brutal.
-Rebalance classes to bring back some of 'useless' classes (here's looking at you overlord :cool: )
-Sin eater quest. Bring it back or add a different alternative to dealing with karma. I shouldn't have to start a new character just cause I ransacked some bots.
-Crack down on bots/rmt hard. It's only hurting your income stream, I honestly don't see why you wouldn't.
