#47374, "RE: Anyone else concerned about the arms race CF has become?"
|
I'm split on this.
On one hand, I think a lot of the super powerful characters that have rewards are shrouded in this player-created fear and are not by any means unbeatable. This sickens me. At any given point in time any other character can be dropped by another character. I'm 100% confident of this fact.
I'm going to delicately jump around some active characters and if it's not allowed, by all means IMMs, delete/edit my post accordingly.
An example of player-created fear and hype: When I met Krunk as a no-name elf warrior who had a lifespan of maybe 2 weeks, he had all this hype surrounding him and I expected to get bulldozed. Instead I think we went an even 2-2, all solo. I got him twice, he got me twice.
Krunk's a cool, long lived character of a combo that typically isn't super deadly or super long-lived. I think his rewards are fair, just and are not over-powered. Ditto with most of the other rewards I've seen handed out.
However, on the other hand I do think there are way, way, way more questforms/greater conjie spells/extra whathaveyous around now together than ever. We've had 5 hero shifters with quest forms all living more or less at the same time (give or take a couple of weeks). That's unreal.
I'm not going to touch on the debate of whether or not these forms are overpowered, but instead touch on the fact that they're wearing off in mystique. The first time I saw a quest form I shat my pants. I like that feeling. I like them being a rarity, something above the norm.
I want them around, but I want to be shocked and awed by them again. I want to see a questform and do a doubletake.
