Thought's I'd make a log on the activities of what I've seen
1. Missions are interesting and more plot driven, you have informative ones like intel on the 4 members of alpha squadron who's modules you picked up in the game (Not yet, but you know), or more sober ones like returning the sword of a dead knight to his grave. Missions are also engaging, and give the game a sense of flow, especially since it leads up to a face off with the snarbolax. Originally ol' Snaryb was just 'another monster' if you played when it was first introduced. Through mission mode, you get a sense of dread like he's a beast killer who's wiping out knights left and right.
2. New art, we officially have another female armor with Agent Kora, perhaps the dream of female characters to play are not that far away for some people. I hate Accessories, but wouldn't mind getting those glasses and headset.
3. Grammar, I was writing stuff down. But it looks like other people beat me to the punch. A good time to correct my own writing at as well.
3. Finally it's proven that if you allow people to abuse a mechanic, they will. Fun fact, the AH has the black chapeu and Fang of Vog with ASI med for a whooping 500k and 1m respectively and people are already walking around with them. How can people afford these items if people just started? Well the test server gives you infinite energy and the supply depot let's you buy equipment for energy. You see where I'm going with this. You literally have people buying thousands of 1* items to sell them for crowns to get a hat. If Three Rings set a trap with the bait being a hat. A quarter of the bloody server willfully jumped into the snare.
It would be amusing if it weren't so pathetic. Also it's a horrifying thought that many of these players who pay for CE would crash the economy in a second if it meant personal profit. But then, that's capitalism.
Going to take a break tonight and go through the missions again to get a better feel for stuff. If you want to put your input here to keep everything clean, that would work
