Has anyone else come to the conclusion that New Kaineng is poorly designed? It was obviously designed around mounts and to showcase Jade tech. It was not designed as a living city and is rather shallow in my opinion, if not boring.
Why is it needlessly vertical?
Where are the wide stairs, ramps, and other easy access routes?
Where are the people?
Unless the city was built after Jade tech was developed, why is the whole place designed around it? The city is huge vertically and there is no valid reason anyone would do so. Access is pretty much only available through zip lines and really narrow stairs. How are people to get around. How are building supplies to get from the lower levels to the upper levels. How does a farmer (no farms btw) drive a pair of oxen pulling a cart of goods to market?
This is obviously a modern style city with a lot of real life style ammenities which suggests a large amount of citizens. Look at all the tall buildings, they look like apartments for large numbers of people. The amount of NPCs is really low and combined with the really low player counts it makes the place look dead.
Overall I think New Kaineng is like a lot of EoD. It's flashy and cool looking, but both lack depth.
