What is STG planning to do next?
So, after all the thousands of complaints of Nekro as being just another Arcane ring (because it requires a similar arcane component) and this leading to wider thoughts about P2W. I've heard people say "STG labels this game a F2P MMO, but they should label it as a gambling casino game because it's less of an MMO every season". That is true, if you ask the AL community on an honest vote, they will agree.
Don't get us wrong here, I mean the platinum content is what keeps the game alive and what pays for your salaries but there is always another solution out. More of a balance between the F2P/P2W.
The problem here is that most of the 'good' items like the arcanes and the mythics are ALL in or have something to do with GRAND LOCKED CRATES OF THE WATCH. This means there will always be a gap between the poor and the rich, no matter the content within. The rich people are basically your main audience at the moment because the new content rakes in money from them since they want all the new things - lets take the Elondrian event LB for example: Sure, it may give out rewards like a banner and a dovabear to normal players, but it is the people who spend 20-50m or 10k plat (and effort) that make it to the LB. Even the map was clearly meant for Plat grinders since there were only 6 enemies (which you can one hit) and a boss.
The people don't mind having arcanes in Locked crates as it can be something of a goal to make money for and buy from the AH. However, it doesn't mean that ALL items have to be in Locked crates.
A pet like Nekro isn't OP. If you slightly nerf the stats (to say 8% dmg, 8% crit, 20 primary and 15 str, int, dex) and make the quest something completely farmable, then the players would not have these reactions. Sure, the stats may be not as strong as others, but it is still FREELY FARMABLE. But of course this won't happen now since the pet is already released.
So what are STG's new plans? The L41 Mythic Armor and Helm have to be the next priority. I say to make them farmable and not from Locked crates. Or the helm farmable and the armor in locked crates at the very least. And by farmable, I mean completely farmable in elites as super RARE drops. But even if they release the new mythics at this point, the new itemisation system would be a flop because we are already 3/5 into the season and the new gear would be replaced next season (unless the stats are like OP)
Any overall thoughts?
Ps. Excuse the English, I'm giddy
