Too bad they didn't just make it a classic server with minor tweaks to give melee a chance vs casters. Providing something as simple as Fungi Tunics would have balanced things.

In an attempt to balance classes they made so many custom changes that every class is too strong except for 2-3 that were completely left out. To even stand a chance now you gotta pick an OP class and sit there and die 100x until you have a chance against people with kunark/velious loot during a classic era server. Once you are on even ground you fight in towns forever?

I don't understand how they could have missed the mark this much when they have made so many servers already.

What? I've been playing since launch and still don't have half of every possible "bis" item from the lvp merchant, nor pve item drops.

I disagree.

Every class seems viable to me since the level 50 cap. I'll admit druids and shamans are lacking in the heal department, and melee are still strong, but in group/"mass" fights the fights are a lot of back and forth and are never a total sweep of imbalance.

Server is still fast paced and high action fun.

There's ways to go about doing that. This wasn't one of them.

Glad some prospects made a power play and exposed the scummy bias for using an in-game quest.
when staff fucks over elf-sim

might as well go play RL

I would rather have the server be classic teams server. I don't like custom content outside of things like translocators, bind npcs, tweaking to resists/melee damage. The custom items and content built around cities are negatives to me, obviously some people like it because they are putting in a lot of hours.

Saying every class is viable is a long shot. There are plenty of examples of how several classes are broken and some have way too many added benefits. Mage/knights are way out of whack. Yes, a shaman is viable because they need to make potions. Enchanters are viable because they can dispel. Necros are viable because their life tap can land and they have pets. These are things they can perform well but it is a very limited compared to what the class is supposed to play like.

Interested to see how cities play out now that evil aren't stuck with the hardest city to defend.

My paladin has 800 points and is just now starting to run out of stuff to buy. I'm top 15 and have not been very casual so I don't think the pvp shop is a problem.

With planar gear, bot and plane of sky there will be plenty of places to find group pvp. Though I think the 50 bracket will be the end of the road for solo players as all the pve is 100% group required.

All in all the city system needs tweaks, melee hit rate is redic, channelling need work. Jury is still out on itemization as we wait for additional unlocks.
