Your thoughts on the Alien Oasis?

[Aerospacegod]

1. There isn't an alien in it? I though maybe at least put it on a spaceship?
2. The minions/bosses are way to easy.
3. Haven't seen more than a couple items that even compare with Lost items.

Day 1 = not thrilled(hopefully they will make some fixes)

[KingFu]

1. Part two will have aliens. Egypt and Aliens relate to each other.
2. Bosses are easy if you gang up, I think we are used to frogmar but Seth compared to Zeke, Seth wins. Seth is the hardest boss, second being Anubis. Anubis compared to Zeke, about equal.
3. The items could use some work. If you get the right drops, they have great stats!

Day 1= Fairly satisfied, rather this than nothing!

1) This is Part One.
2) From what I know of your playstyle you are pretty hardcore... how do other people feel about the mob difficulty?
3) I don't think you seen near all the items

Day 1 is day 1. You know how we work... give it a chance to evolve.

My group was mostly less than lvl 30 and we did fine which shouldn't be. The blue dudes mostly just stand there and die. Granted their archers but move around or something.

Khafra Cloth of the Owl -props for whoever designed that one

I agree it seems too easy, but I was playing in good groups. Still even a good group should be challenged a bit more I think. My pinks are all level 37, 39, and mostly 41. That seems very strange. I like it overall though, nice look to maps and gear. A couple of tweaks and it will be great I think. I have been having really bad lag though. Is it just due to a spike in users online, or the new campaign, or are new campaigns going to be even less 1s- gen-device-friendly

[Justg]

Lots of optimizations are coming in 1.3, hopefully it will bring 1st gen devices a bit of pep.

[Aerospacegod]

yea died several times with 3000ping today

[Kingofthebear]

Maybe I just came from a good group, but the drop rate is fantastic. I came out of one run with 4 pinks, and a bunch of purps and greens.

[Aerospacegod]

found 2 pinks going through the whole campaign but they arent great

I think i've seen all the items. Only the level 41 items are worth it. Dex character items are decent, but for a Str or Int user, the new items aren't even worth putting the extra points into str or int.

A good example would be a weapon where i have to go up to 127 str to use it. I may as well stay at 112 str with my armor (in reality 106ish) and put the point into dex. I'll end up with more damage that way. The only weapon that is a dps improvement is the pharaoh sword, but even if its a dps improvement, it reality is just 3 low end higher and 1 top end damage higher. Its not worth it at all. Same goes for a mage helm i just got. Needed like 125 int and the only improvement is 1 armor. I may as well stick with 112 int and put more points into dex.

Honestly Justg, the only improvements in weaponry are for archers, or the level 41 gear. Granted this is only what i've seen, but it seems like i've pretty much seen everything. And i don't even want to talk about the new Skeller Crunch expansion on this thread...

[Dizko]

Az, only archer gear I've seen that is good is some wing shield and a talon that Nicooooooo is farming for right now.

Agree with you on the rest.

[Aerospacegod]

My group got 3 pinks on 1 boss, then 2 on the next. That's seems overkill, at this rate I'll have every pink there is in a week.

Its always either too many or not enough. Seems like the percentages will always not satisfy some people. I'm not saying that to be combative mind you, i'm saying i think it should go back to the system of bosses only dropping one item at a time, and perhaps hard bosses would always drop purples or pinks.

just my two cents.

[Aerospacegod]

Seems pretty obvious they have a different drop system for alien than existed in lost...just saying I like to old one. Pinks should be at least relatively rare. I dont mind good items having real gold value of 50-100k each, we have plenty.

Instead people are stacking elixers and spending 8k per 5mins of game play.

Level 40 archer here : Trogs, in regards to your questions:

1. There isn't an alien in it? I though maybe at least put it on a spaceship?
2. The minions/bosses are way to easy.
3. Haven't seen more than a couple items that even compare with Lost items.

IMO:
1. Didnt really bother me, was more concerned about grinding.
2. The mobs are easy depending on your group, I ran an amazing team most of the day, so in the right hands, it isnt a problem. Id say the swamp was harder. Make sure you have a tank for Seth.
3. I have 20+ pinks, fully suited archer pinks for below and above 40 as well as for my warriors and enchantress. Grind AO maps 5 and 6 for uber drops.

Hope that helped a little.

Its not a different system, its a different % chance.
And as for items being worth 50-100k, well i can't say i know anyone who spent 100k on an item. At first i was all about items being expensive, but then the devs actually nerfed how much cash was given to players when they sold trash items. Yes many of us have lots of money, but its actually a small percentage of players who are actually willing to buy items when we can just farm or trade for them instead. I suspect it will stay like this until an auction house is available.

Regardless though, as long as the expansions start off with players getting lots of pinks, even if they nerf the drop rate, serious players aren't gonna spend cash on them. I mean i pretty much have an entire level 41 armor and weapon set ready to go, im just missing a chest piece.

Az what plate you missing? For what class? I have so many idk what to do with i could could drop one to you for crazy cheap if your interested.

sent you a pm trogz

[Theremin]

I'm glad to see they have released new content. I'm really excited about that, but so far, all I've won is stuff I can't use. I saw that they had a server restart while I was leveling, and that they were attempting to address the issue of item drops beyond the current level cap, and shortly thereafter I won a pink staff which has a level 43 item equip restriction, which is a shame because I'd like to have those stats on the staff sooner than later, if you catch my drift...

I'm wondering if it's possible for the devs to change the item level equip restrictions on these items... Hrm...
