Thoughts on RoF

[Elric]

Brief summary of my thoughts on RoF now that NDA has been lifted. It's late, I"m tired, so apologies if the writing isn't the best.

2 tiers in both group and raid game.

Currency continued, vendors selling gear for both group and raid.

Zones I thought looked decent overall, but the raid zone NToV looked meh. That one has 13 dragons, 12 "supposedly" easier but we'll see on the tuning, 13th endgame difficulty.

Progression events that I saw actually were rather fun. Still emotes to worry about however.

New agro system is neat, can see how you compare to others in group, also the tank who has agro on the mob.

No idea on the new baz/barter system. Didn't do any grouping/questing, so no idea there.


Overall I liked it, with new spells/AA's (updated ones go live right away) coming out possibly next spring, should be a fun expansion.

Oh, possibly a new zone/tier of gear coming with the new spells/AA's down the road.

Last I saw there was only raid currency (not group) and for t1 RoF it was equivalent to how t2 VoA was (price vs how fast you earned it) while t2 RoF was equivalent to how t4 VoA was (same price vs earn speed)

Sorry Riou, I didn't check the vendors, I just noticed currency had been awarded on raids. Was told that there was a group vendor for gear.

Any upgrades to Slay Undead or still stagnant?

Any word on spells? I know there are no new lines, but I wondered if they tweaked any? Casting times, or in the case of Rejuvilating Steel, a complete overhaul?

Regarding spells Aristo was open to ideas but with the time he had no major changes happened for any class.

There were issues with the Healing spells we have, but some got a last minute tweak the rest are promised post release.

Slay could use an innate 2% boom effect, for 10x dmg.
And a 10% innate cripple effect.

Why not?

I don't play anymore but the new number on the HoT looks very nifty and light line finally got some deserved love.
