So I came back after a long long absence. Game is obviously completely different. All my levels meant nothing, all my equpiment was useless, my money more or less worthless, recipes deleted, crafting mats obsolete - it basically is a kind of "Lineage 3" that has little in common with the game it once was.
The map is useless except the few areas that were designed to be the only viable ones per level range. Mounts, runspeed etc. doesn't matter because everyone just teleports.
Well, I digress. Anyway, apart from seemingly NO content except "kill a bazillion mobs to proceed" left, are there even any quests apart from the ones that they shove into your face at every login? First it is the Gludio NPC from 1-85, then the Aden one from 85-99, then the Heine one onwards with the exalted line. ALL of which consist of nothing but "kill x mobs at this location".
Are there any OTHER quests? I found none. I came back with my highest level at 89, now I leveled all my old chars to between 103 and 105 and I have basically spent 3 weeks in the same 3 areas because there simply is nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. Am I missing something? I tried the old seed areas which are deserted and quests gone. I was at giants cave which is deserted and quests gone. The mobs there were harder, gave less xp and didn't count for the ONE questline they are giving you. Is this really all that is left?
To be honest, this game now feels like "Lineage 2 afk-leveling simulator pro" where the main work you do is tweak your macro to farm the same mobs in the same place without dying while you sleep. Is there anything coming from 105 onwards except "kill x mobs at x location because we wont let you do anything else"?
