GREETINGS!
It's been a while since I played this game hard-core, And I mean in a way that would allow me to spend countless hours of play-time.
Those were the good ol' days, Making my way thru the clockworks with my favorite band of party members.
Since then, (When SK was still branded as SEGA.) We finally reached end game, And many members started to move-on to other games.
I was fortunate enough to see a Few changes, Nothing major though, One of the changes was the transition from being branded as an Affiliate of
Sega of america, To what I understand are the original creators of this neat game, Grey Havens.
Since that time, I have popped into the game , From time-to-time, To see IF, There were any Major developments.
I frequent the Forums, In hopes of a Major announcement of New exciting adventure that may be added, Yet -
The only thing that is being added to my disappointment, Are items that just peak interest economically, Are they that strapped for cash?
Sure, there was the addition of the pet(s) adventure, And it was rather fun, after that, It's been... MEH.
I can tell you a time when New levels where being added, and they first introduced this game on steam, Which added a HUGE influx of new
Eager Players into this game, ( I think they even had a cross-over with TF2 *cringe*).
Back then the Crown-to adventure ratio was extremely decent, And in my honest opinion, The Energy system that was in place then , was better
Than what it is now.
Sure, Many other players will come forward, And say "Just how easy this game really is", And you're right, It is easy , IF you have the time to
play it.
Currently , It's more about running a few levels, Usually to about just before Tier 3, When I was able to do that before, The earned crowns was
decent, Believe me like at least 10 to 15 K, Now it's barely 2K, That doesn't exactly give any player, At least me , any real replay value.
The biggest deterrent to me , Is having to pay rent , to Be able to have a Place to have a Guild.
There were even rumors, That this game may close it doors , But it seems to be just a rumor.
Don't get me wrong, the game good, Real good, But just to log-in and having to look forward to just PVP, Isn't exactly the thing My heart longs for.
There needs to be , More incentive, More things to do, More Adventure, More excitement, As it stands - Once you reach end game, Then what?
OK , So maybe I'll get to grind my heart out , And attain ALL armors ALL costumes and Maybe ALL Weapons, But there are so many now
That Grinding has become downright Boring.
Unless, Someone knows about something new that is coming, Otherwise It's just old content in a never-ending repetition.
Yeah I know there hasn't been any major updates at all as of at least a year, but that doesn't mean we can do our own self imposed challenges. Try using certain weapon/armor combinations to beat levels, use lower star weapons, do speedruns, etc. There's no limit to your imagination!!
