Since I can't make a poll here in the General forums, I figured I'd ask a few simple questions, and give players an outlet to either sing praises or rant maniacally. After all, having fun on the server is perhaps the most important aspect of why we play here, so:
Are you having fun?
If so, how?
If not, why not?
What do you like/dislike about the update?
On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you currently rate things on the personal fun-o-meter?
Hopefully this doesn't degrade into any unnecessary flamefests, but I feel like these questions need to be asked.
Still, don't be shy, brutal honesty can be cathartic!
In any case, I'll go first.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I having fun?
Occasionally. Things weren't exactly over-the-moon fun for me even before the update, maybe a smidge less now.
If so, how?
Trying out new content and classes is always interesting. I re-rolled my OOBI alt into a cavestalker... he's a total gimp comparatively, but still sort of fun
If not, why not? I was having a hard time finding RP before the update. Less familiar faces now = less RP = less fun. I also don't know how/if a lot of things on my slew of characters work, or are intended to work. Trying to figure all that out is also detracting from my time to find RP. I'm also spending too much time on this damn forum and not enough time IG.
What do you like/dislike about the update?:
Likes: The new sneaking vfx, the new areas, the appearance of some of the spell changes(like bigbys). The animations of some of the new skills(lunge, pommelstrike). I also like that lizard-folk in the cloakwood have seemingly been facerolled into extinction. See what happens when you grind people?!(Those poor talsoi picked the wrong neighborhood to move into). The Ogrillion(yes, there's one IG now).
Dislikes: The(perceived) general angst, and the number of sad-panda players who are frustrated at finding their main characters so drastically changed. The disguise feature. The mechanical changes to some of the new spells(like bigbys, and bards C&C), as well as the wonkiness that accompanies using those new skills(lunge, pommel strike). Encountering less RP. Watching the small army of new characters zinging around the server like angry hornets as they try and figure out their characters and the new mechanics. The idea of RcR'ing just to take skills or new feats that may not function properly, or even affect things one way or another(escape artist).
On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you currently rate things on the personal fun-o-meter? .... 3 or 4, tops. Although, it's been hovering at a steady 3 or 4 since the metaplot ended.
