hi
im back to play like 2 or 3 moths ago, and i can say 2 o 3 things about the herald of light update and the previous update
1- adena income: adena for low lvl players(new or comeback ppl) is a joke, exalted weapons and armor are okay(jewlery are miss here), but, if you want to go farm some areas like crisis, alligator, or make castilla, you need more equipment, and to get that...you need to spend like 2 or 3kkk adena. but at 105 + lvl you reach at least 100kk, and half of that goes on SS or BSS, making then hard to get better gear to farm.
2- mobs and drop: this topic is the worst you make, i make crisis and i can say the difference its insane, a tank die from 5 hits, a archer from 3(with exalted set), when previusly i can farm the entire spot, plus...when i finish the zone, i get like 5 or 6 boxes per char...and now i get with a bit of luck 1 or 2, even if the boxes are a joke.
i make castilla 105 with a yull and i die 2 times cause mobs literally hit me even with ue and are so hard to kill too
3- maybe the update is ok for high lvl toons or ppl who have gear already, but for new/comeback ppl, its too hard to enjoy the game when the only way to progress is based on spend insane amounts of money on store and theres no other ways to get better items or get an adena income(like elcyums)
