Poll: What do you think of 'Secrets of Faydwer'?Follow

heh...I bought 4 copies for my accounts have yet to step foot in any of the zones.

Sad I was so excited to check them out. But then on the plus side with most folk hunting there all of the old spot in older expaqntions are wide open.

I'll probably do with it what I did with TBS...finally buy it about the time the rumor mill is starting up about the next expansion.

I have never even been to one of the zones although I do own the expansion. To be honest, I don't know many people who have.

Not a druid, but ya, I have earned well over a hundred AAs in this zone on both my Ranger and Cleric. The Drangol Gobbies, and the Shadowmanes are very good camps, with a named that pops often enough in each, that is duo'able.

Great if you like sitting at the same camp for months on end getting faction.Not so good if you are less than OOW geared and have atleast your 2.0 if you are a melee type,as the mobs have tons of hp's.

Seen alot of necro's soloing the goblin camp in Loping.Very effectivly at that.

The game is out of control. Shortest way to put it is they want everyone to look at it before they flush it

You might have a valid point, but I dont see it without more info. What makes you think the game is out of control? Is it the higher level cap than what we started with? Is it the equipment that seems to have more stats on it than my main started with several years ago (just seems that way, not actually true)? What makes you think they are going to flush it? Info please. Not trying to flame you, if thats the impression you get. Just trying to get you to expand on your opinion.

I expected it'd be another hastily thrown-together expansion. Haven't set foot in any of the zones. My cleric is loving the attuneable gear, despite the fact that I hate it. I swear she has stuff that's better than Time gear, that I bought for less than 10k platinum...

Raiding high end, I was disappointed with the expansion. Getting flagged was really the only "hard" part of the expansion.

I didn't purchase the expansion for a few reasons. In past years I have bought downloaded versions of expansions, and was annoyed as to how long it took me to download updates when i switched computers, due to not having the disks. Second I have purchased most of my expansions individually except the first 5 and I got annoyed when I was able to buy my daughter everything I had purchased individually for 29.99 each, I was now able to buy for her, for 19.99 in a bulk pack. This time everything i had plus SOF for 39.99 download only was beyond annoying. I had no use for the other expansions I already owned, and paying 39.99 for one expansion seemed like highway robbery to me. Therefore I went without it. Sooner or later Sony will put out another expansion pack that has 2 or 3 expansions I dont already own, and then I might purchase it. If they had come out with just the SOF expansion for those of us that already owned everything else for say 19.99 or even 29.99 I would have been okay, that is a price I am used to paying, but to force me to pay for expansions that I already have, is not happening here. They still could of put out the bulk expansion to get some new players involved, but to burn the veterans is just wrong....

I am one of the returning players who loved the $40 version taht got me caught up on all the expantions. Had I been a current player at the time I would have hated it.

SoF has some really nice features and some that need improvement.
*I enjoy seeing the old continent, if only for the time that I run through to Loping Planes. Nice to see some of the lore linked back to the old content.

*The multiple factions are fun because they give it a sence of depth, and annoying because almost every camp has a different faction.

*Getting keyed for cryst and such can be a huge investment. If you are like our server there aren't many people willing to help with that kind of stuff.


I think most can agree that the lag is out of control. I run programs that are bigger resource hogs and I dont see that kind of low performence.

I like the story line, and like someone else said, I hated that little SOB Meldrath. I have only been to the expansion one time though. I took my lvl 67 Mage there, and wiped on the first pull, which was really only a test pull to see what kind of damage the mobs were putting out. They killed my lvl 66 Air pet and stomped me before I could even get my gate spell off. This was enough for me to decide to wait a bit before going back. The zones looked good though, and I love the gear I'm seeing for sale in bazaar.
