Now, as a newer player who has recently joined this server as of August 5th, I currently have no characters in T4 as I do like to enjoy playing a variety of classes. I understand your development choices and direction are currently focused primarily on expanding and fixing issues in T4. As a player who's not there yet, I want to bring these issues to your attention as some of these problems may turn away many new people just joining this server. I only bring up these issues because while T4 is clearly were all the action is and T1 has enough action to keep it going in its current state, T2 and T3 are abysmal and you really end up just suffering through them.
Today I'm only going to bring up one issue that bothers some of us trying to get through T2-3 and that's the amount of EXP, INF and RR that is earned for taking BO's and taking the enemy keep which locks the zone. Currently I feel (I did say opinions) that you earn way too much experience for this. We all like the satisfaction of leveling but isn't that what PvE is for? I mean you gave us x3 EXP for turning in quests in T2-3 so if your concern is leveling, shouldn't you just do a ton of quests which not only award nice amounts of XP but is the best way in game to earn gold. My problem is I really want to max out my INF in each zone getting all those nice purple rewards. Sure in the end they don't really matter, but going into a higher tier with full INF purple rewards would probably be better than being forced to still wear some greens because you out leveled the tier. And sure there is debolster, but I personally don't like to use that. Since you guys recently released the last patch there also seems to be a bug with the Field of Glory buff. I'm getting tons of XP, but my renown rank has fallen behind my actual level and it's steadily falling further behind. Also I noticed while running around in T2 if you don't help in capturing a BO, once you cap the keep and lock the zone, you get no rewards at all. Some of us in the warband were confused as to why after putting in the time and effort for locking a zone we got 0 XP, INF and RR. This I'm assuming is a bug and it may have something to do with the return of the Field of Glory buff.
Also, since the patch where you turned the Arena enemies in IC into hero's IC is regularly causing everyone to crash. This crash bug is no longer exclusive to the Viper Pit.
So this is all I wanted to say this time around and I just wanted to try and open up a dialogue between the developers and the community in general. A place we can talk about things that the community might see differently than those who are deciding on how things should be. I know you guys are very busy with not only your real lives, but also getting this project up and running to your satisfaction. Just wanted to say some things and much like you guys, we also love this game very much which is why we play it with you guys.
