I don’t know. Is the newest endgame boss that has only been killed by a single server in its current form a good benchmark for the health of the game?
It’s been live for 37ish days and it looks like they are continuing to monitor the difficulty. Gelebron/Bloodthorn are much better litmus tests since VR stated Dhiothu was a progression target.
37 days and 1 server has killed it 7 times through mainly brute force with 50-60+ each time while none else have gotten it low hp at all, for a boss that is meant to be done with 25-30 people using mainly strategy it doesn't look great
It can possibly be done with 25-30 players with some of the best gear available. I asked before beta started once about the requirements for this boss and Difinitus said that not even above average players will be enough for this boss. That being said it’s clear that it’s a progression boss as said before, meaning it’s meant for players who’ve already hit the top or near top of previous content and now have this boss to work towards. Good design imo
Epona does not just use “brute force”... they have a lot of very well geared players with full dg (or almost full), just come over and look around
Brute force is not about gear but simply strategy, and Epona does use brute force. If u dont believe ask simply ask those who lead it.
As someone who plays the game nearly since the start, Id not come back to the game. With OTM being rough we might have dropped our standards to believe VR is good but lets admit it, even OTM was better than this. Had better support team, better art team and simply better mindset and creativity, all which dont exist in here anymore. The game looks more hopeless than ever tbh, not specifically my server I still enjoy my server, I think the direction of the game is... well, non-existent. The game seems to go in very aimlessness or at least only one aim, make as much money as u can in it's time left.
Im not here to be negative, but u wanted realistic so I wont sugarcoat u just to avoid another warning/ban like 90% the playerbase here does.
I will be realistic. VR is a small company and can't deal much thing at a time. Bug fixes takes months of not years. Support gives response in weeks. From my view games loses more players than gains. (Can't know 100% ) they don't have art team so we don't see new design of items, areas and bosses they rather bringing old designs. Forums used to be good place but recently threads get locked so often.
This is someone whos actually true with u. None of us wants to tell u not to play as we all gain from more ppl joining, but tbh? U have no good reason to play CH over any other game. At this point CH is nothing more than a social app really.
