Smart and ATG hitting it home here for me.

Eh. I never experienced much of Velious on live, and I was hyped for it here too. Now that I've actually run around in some of Velious (though I've yet to even set foot in Thurg or DN or kill any raid mobs), I'm kinda meh on it. Crystal Caverns is great, Velks isn't bad, SG is goofy but a really cool-looking zone with some puzzles for small groups to figure out, POM is goofy as fuck but pretty cool and entertaining at least in the short run. Outdoor zones seem very bland and boring as a whole. The three factions are a neat idea.

There's solo and duo/trio and group content. There's upgrades for any level of casual or hardcore. There's new places to see and things to kill, etc. Not bad, but not jaw-dropping.


If TOFS key system hadn't been designed as it is, it'd have been cool. If POM had a spot for melees to bind and shorter respawns, it'd have been great. If SG had more loot for groups or was less gimmicky for solo/duo/trio, it'd have been great. No experience with DN yet.
