    Sometimes it's nice to pretend that things happen, but this doesn't help make them happen. Looking at their work over the last 2-3 years, I really don't see where they could ever find the required time and skills to produce a new expansion that is worthy of this name.

    I do not say that a level 60 will not be here, in fact it is legitimate and logical to think that there will be someday, but I imagine it well far away and much poorer of new maps and new monsters than the last solid expansion (Qaizah) was.

    I fear rather it will be a as-lowcost-as-possible fallback, yet another extreme grinding predominantly in existing or otherwise recycled maps that will require the accumulation of tons of something for the sole purpose of making us increase in experience (they already have abundantly recourse to tiers and wisdom only to lengthen the broth, now it's up to the levels, not much else remains to draw on it seems to me). As you unlock an experience level (56) you will be able to upgrade existing items (61) just adding a modest (lol) amount of glyphs in order to make permanent the transition to the new level.

    That's all accordingly to my personal outlook for this game. Then I will be delighted to be wrong and to surprise myself positively. But I don't think so. In any case, it is and remains mere speculation to imagine now what the next environment might be, seen as the game is passing in recent years. Anyway you are free to put your time in whatever you want.

    Has anyone actually tested 5 pieces sewers set?
    If yes please make a video for it, I would also like to know if the 4 pieces bonus does crit, and what the 5 piece bonus is like iow if its worth it at all.

    I wish there was a way to "Hate" your post. Not because you said anything wrong, but because what you say is probably right on the mark. I was never a fan of the sewer event because of the maps. They are dull, dreary, and depressing. I realize this is subjective but if that is their idea of an expansion, I will probably stop playing the game. I could tolerate it as an event for a couple of weeks but there is no way I'm going to spend the bulk of my free time, playing this game in that type of a setting. I understand being cheap and lazy and recycling maps but that would be the straw that breaks this camel's back.

    It's an event, it will maybe become frequent as dragan but that's not a new extension.

    Wanting to widen the discussion a bit, I see two rather blocking factors for what is the desirable development of the game:

    1) the current environments and scenarios often refer to real contexts (as the sewers) which, as such, are limited in number. Once you have used mountains, forests, deserts, and whatever else surrounds you, you should necessarily switch to fantasy contexts that, as such, require a much greater creative and productive effort. And the costs / times go in proportion.

    2) the artificial intelligence with which monsters and bosses are animated is non-existent, given that they move according to predefined patterns and always reproducing the same attack sequences, without any ability for example in dodging. This is perhaps an even worse defect, given that any map you develop becomes old also due to the fact that there is no variety in the behavior of the opponents who are stupid like zombies.

    All this might seem off-topic and instead unfortunately it is tremendously in-topic, whatever the release you're talking about. And it will be more and more in the future, because the players will get used to games with behavior patterns that are much more varied and fun, and will struggle more and more to get lost in a game like this.

    From all this we return to the meaning - if there ever was one - of my previous post. Who certainly did not want to be destructive to those who still manage to preserve a healthy and goliardic enthusiasm, but only invite all of us to open the eyes a little to the reality of things without deluding too much.

    Yea, thats right. In my opinion it would be cool to see the dark world where monsters came from. Someone heard that the Cult is planning something, so the Mages made portal to this world to fight against them. Also there you can learn some ancient powers like transmog which requies powerful magic and etc.. this content would be amazing

    Just an idea that sounds good

    So today the chain of new quests was fixed, so we all could proceed :) Boy, that was quick! Wish all the bugs were dealt with so quickly :)

    I clicked on one of the stone bags that we received from the quests, but to my surprise - nothing happened :( I received no stones :(
    But anyway, I like that introduction to Sargon :)

    Not this year.

    @trakilaki slightly off topic but I have to ask was rangers able to do armor break to bosses with EA prior to r214?
