Unlikely, but please update Kaening

[Bast.7253]

I know this falls outside of the normal development cycle but I sincerely hope we have some updates to create a more lively, eventful, Kaening. 

Larger variety of events, more large scale events, maybe even some adjustments to some of the existing buildings to make them fleshed out with interiors instead of just props. 
Maybe make a section of it a full scale divinity's reach type city hub and more threats and activity outside of that section?

I really think the train idea I proposed could be cool! (The jade cart train we see near the echovald entrance.) 

As it is right now it's mostly jade brotherhood events that all feel the same, neutral jade brotherhood npc's that are there if you WANT to fight them but you have no real reason to that I can see. And a meta that doesn't seem to be all that popular. 

A better telegraphed black-out would also be nice. The flashing lights are really cool but maybe if it were darker and there were more threats looming around the city. Do the netural jade brotherhood npc's all turn to an enemy state when a blackout is occurring in that area?

Are there thieves and bandits randomly mugging you while you're walking along alley ways? Maybe some of this is more difficult to do when you want more safe space for fishing on the canals but I've spent a couple hours just walking around taking in the sights and I feel like there's just so little going on.

Interactable noodle stands, too, please.

[AliamRationem.5172]

Yes, can we please revisit this map with some development resources?  I love the aesthetic, but there's just nothing going on here!  I wish I could go back and play Cantha the way we do with HoT, but it just feels empty and this map is the worst of all.  Can we get some more events and rewards outside of that overly long and unrewarding meta?

We all deserve noodles!

Not sure how it would impact fps and all but perhaps a little more NPCs? The city feels really deserted.

[Randulf.7614]

I’m in favour of anything to bring life and content to the map

[The Greyhawk.9107]

Further proof that EoD should have had about another six months or more of work before being released.

[Jin.8501]

Rip old Kaineng which has this

I approve of your priorities.  Seriously, I want to be able to buy noodles.

One thing they can do is expand New Kaineng into old Kaineng. Since maps are time locked, at the time of EoDs old Kaineng is all ruins, but in the future a small portion of it could be reclaimed/rebuilt. Say 1/8~1/4 of the new map is a new Kaineng expansion and the rest of the map is Ruined Old Kaineng. There could be a meta with the ruined part of the map sends an undead invasion into the reclaimed part and you have to defend it. Then second part of the meta is the reclaimed portion sends troops into the ruined region to find the source of the continued undead assaults, culminating with a boss fight in the old palace with a surviving Zhaitan champion.

I wish the cop station had a bounty board and we could become a bounty hunter for them. Hunting down named gang bosses all around town. Like the bandit leader bosses in kryta!

[lezbefriends.7516]

Remember Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater? New Kaineng is a create-a-park.

That is something that I feel is sorely lacking compared to Path of Fire.

I get that expansions are meant to each have their own contents, but some aspects of Path of Fire, like bounties and mount races could easily transcribe to EoD. Again, why do we have skiffs but no skiff races ? Why do we have a dedicated security faction with none to hunt ?

[Crackmonster.2790]

It's my favorite map, gives me flashbacks to some of the old star wars games like jedi knight. Do would there were better event and more things and reason to be there.

Emphasis added.

Gryphon courses would be awesome in New Kaineng and Echovald.

It's weird that even dailies don't use the new areas. I was hoping to stop seeing daily desert bounty over and over.

The whole of Cantha feels a bit "that'll do".

It's obvious a ton of work went into Cantha. But this has to not be abandoned by the devs like other content which is never revisited. Cantha feels incomplete.

So... New Jade Hoverboard Mastery Track when?

This is a really cool idea!

 

Unfortunately, such an undertaking would draw too much in the way of resources away from turtle, skiff, and fishing pole skin creation. It's a business, you know.

You do know that EoD got its own daily section right?

Every map has its own dailies. It's not the same thing and you know it

The top of the giant building in the centre and the Jade crystal at the entrance are crying out for this

[erapago.4387]

Gryphon and beetle courses are sorely missing.  And all the End of Dragons maps could use bounties.

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

I was hoping for more events and content inside and through buildings. A real city content and interaction experience.

HoT and PoF expansion zones do NOT have their own dailies but are lumped into the generic dailies instead, and people have been complaining about it for ages.

 

I strongly suspect that the complaints are the reason EoD got its own dailies instead of being part of the generic ones, too.
