    The new player tutorial just following character creation has been rebuilt to better introduce players to the game. Look for a smoother experience, updated environments, refreshed narrative, and more.

    You guys had something good going on, but then decided to blow it, for some reason. Some great things in the update, but also the dreadful return of spam feats, which I can understand the inclusion for a new bounty, but some old bounty getting it too is just... annoying.

    Yes. Moon Touched Gorgon now has a spam feat, because...[insert expletives here].

    Initially, I was happy there weren't any spam feats.

    However, I run a few alts in EG. And I noticed the drop off of people doing the bounty is pretty steep. Unless I run all 8 of my EG toons on reset day, or a day or two after, it gets time consuming to get players to do the bounty again, for no reward. So overall, the feats do help to keep players doing the bounty, now bounties, throughout the week and I can casually play different toons at my leisure.

    What are the classic styles that have been upgraded?
  11. Ryazan Dedicated Player

    IMO the way that they could have fixed it, without potentially annoying players, could have been by giving the Gorgon a special drop and by making an alternative way to complete the mission, which it had already, but in this case it would be by making it more viable by making more Stone adds spawn around the graveyard.

    They should just decrease the amount of adds that you need to kill to 10 or 20 from 100 to exchange the open world bosses if the population is low then problem solved. Both would take 5 min.

    I’ve asked this a few times and never could get an answer.

    Not sure if this has been explained but did they ever say what they are doing with repair bots ?
  15. Eve YouTuber

    Yeah you can choose between a couple things if you consume them:
    Other bots, Omegas or Renown boxes.
  16. Red Wáve Well-Known Player

    Test server yourself or watch videos. We havn't been given a list nor a reason why existing styles was renamed to "classic" instead of new styles just being named "modern".

    They have not said what happens to Repair Bots, but Grip made thread in General. US privelige I guess.
  17. LowFlyingMoon Loyal Player


    That's pretty much what I predicted when people were cheering the lack of bounty count feats when the episode dropped.
    Now, I can't wait for people to immediately start camping at the bounty spots, farming those counts in one day and crying about how much they hate what they are voluntarily doing... :D
