New Expansion Motivation.

Fellow players,

This thread is for some of the players that wants to 'quit', or are getting 'angry' because of the new expansion recycled stuff and such. I will just try to make you realise that you're wrong to see it that way, and to try and motivate you for the expansion,

I have seen many posts and threads regarding the same issue for most of these players, which is the new content arriving soon, in the Kraken Isles.

''It's exactly the same items, this sucks.''

''It's the demonlords, they look ugly.''

''That's it, i'm leaving Arcane Legends.''

''Why only Rogues get the newest Arcane weapon?''

''Why does the mage have the worse stuff?''

Anyways, try putting yourself as a game designer, then design some new stuff/recycled and post them. Then read these kind of comments about the work you did. Trust me, it's not nice.

Ok, let's see what's coming, and why you shouldn't complain.

- Recycled stuff? Don't worry, since 2010 there is always some recycled stuff, but there is also ALWAYS new stuff coming along with it. You know that StS wants to make us enjoy the game, and have fun. That's their goal. For most of us here, StS did achieve that. They're awesome.

- Unfair for classes? Be patient, maybe you'll even get some better things for the wait and efforts you gave in.

Appart from that, take a look at these:

Honestly. Aren't they the best looking gear so far? Come on, look at them closely. I cannot wait to get my hands on them.
See, that's already a good part of the expansion.

Then, we get pirates to fight, and pirate boats. Come on, that's awesome! YES IT IS!

The best part: MONKEY PET. Isn't that enough for you? A monkey PET! In Arcane Legends! GEEZ that's just PURE AWESOMENESS.


Well, at least I tried but I still got one last point to say,

Let's say, we have this glass of water here (yes, a glass of water :p):


Attachment 24869


As you can see, it's half filled, half empty. (Something/nothing). Now, it's YOUR choice to choose between the positive, or negative.

Take the filled part of the glass = you being positive, enjoying the game, and enjoying what you get instead of complaining or asking for more.
Take the empty part of the glass = you being negative. Enough said.

Fine, i'll stop. I may be annoying, but hey, just trying to give some motivation for some of you.

Great overview, i like what STS is doing.

On a side note, I don't get why people take Insider section photos and post them in general though :/ seems counter active to the idea of that section.

If you replace it with juice, I'll consider.

Kidding aside, come on fellow players! Let's give the expansion a good look before we start being disappointed. Have fuuuun!

I don't care what stuff looks like. My sorcerer has the clever demonologist gear not because it looks good, but because it was the best I could afford. I couldn't care less if gear is recycled as long as it has better stats.

Masked riders are comming to AL!!

Man those outfits would be sick if they were vanity.

And technically... your giant shot glass is only about 1/3 filled with Vodka since it gets wider near the top. :P

Indeed. I hope there will be similar looking Vanity. Like these ones, but in Red with flame effects. Or things like this. I mean, special effects are the best imo.

They will end up as vanity at the expansion after this pirate one.

Please don't reveal that. Now i'm screwed!

I like the glass idea. I'll need to use that for future cases! Back on topic, nice thread.

Thanks for the thread MysticalEagle.

We know that not everyone is going to love everything we do. That is just how it is. I'm sure some don't really groove on those armor sets nor a silly old monkey pet. Making our games is a labor of love and when people rage post complaints, "That sucks! You suck for making it, rawrrr!" it can be pretty hurtful. That's why we'll remove such posts and encourage constructive criticism.

Constructive negative feedback is essential for us and a large part of the reason why we maintain these message forums. If you find something we've done not to you liking, we really want to hear why you feel that way.

Thanks again :)

Well thats how life is, there isn't always going to be positive reviews about something, everyone doesn't like the same thing. Like down here in Brookwood, if someone doesn't like me, I don't beat him up for it, I just walk away and think of how I could make myself better. Its the same here, if people don't like the devs work, I'm sure they'll find a way to make things better and please people:)

My pleasure Sam, as much as I agree with you. Been a long time i'm with you guys, and nope, you never disappointed me, nor most of the oldies. That being said, I did work as a 3D Animation Designer in one of the smallest company you could see, and did a few designs (animals, environments and humans) for a short animated movie. We did show it to our team, and 20% of the team did not like it. Guess what, one of them did say ''No, it sucks''. I didn't appreciate it. Anyways, Hoorah' for tomorrow if it is!

I for some reason recall that same said that the previous end game gear of the last expansion would be made into vanity for the following expansion. I could just be daydreaming but I think not.

Sam when u post something is going to be mythic and explain it's going to be ultra rare and super cool it gets everyone excited. A few days later u post a pic of the mythic item and it looks just the same as something that's already in the game. Is it really that hard to forsee that a lot of people will be disappointed in that? If we are going to have to invest a lot of time and energy to loot the mythic item it seems like you guys should put some time and energy into making it something unique looking that everyone will instantly recognize not just reskinning something you have laying around already. Isn't that what obtaining mythic and arcane objects is all about- being able to show them off in town and having everyone go crazy when they see you have it on? With this helm people will just think we have on demonlord helmets, nothing exciting about that.

I think at one point I suggested that... but it would be awesome of STS decided to do that.

I'd love it if they do actually turn them into Vanity.

I agree with that, I'm not criticizing or anything. I just want to say maybe a little difference visually to the mythic helm might make it better. :)

To be honest, I cannot wait to have the new Sorcerer bundle gear. When you look at the pictures above, your reaction should be the same as mine!

''OMG ME WANT ME WANT''. :p
