Evil.1580 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I have completed the story, got 100% map completion on 4 maps and got all the mounts.! All 5 of themKilled a couple of legendary bounties here and there and completed some events.Please correct me if I am wrong but aren't the bounties the only thing that people will do once they complete the one-time achievements and the story?If so, how can we even compare the huge EPIC meta events in HoT maps with these legendary bounties that can die in 5-10 mins?Maybe PoF isn't supposed to "kill" HoT maps but I was expecting more epic fights in this "all about content" expansion.Yes, the maps are fantastic, the mounts are fantastic too, bounties are a cool addition, but all these things aren't enough (at least for me) to keep you here for a long time.The expansion miss 1 single thing - EPIC fights (meta events with squads coordination etc.). Chak garnet? DO you see anything similar to this? It was epic and hard. Even the mastery points are way easier than HoT - shame. I remember the Mushroom Queen and a lot more giving a proper challenge. Now you can solo almost everything. Isn't a MMO game about group challenges?The beautiful maps and mounts had so much potential if they could be used in huge METAS, like HoT.P.S. I like the game but I am very disappointed as I was expecting more. And I really hope they add some major changes to these maps very soon, namely meta events.

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 HoT was heavily criticised be cause there were only meta events. But I agree: why not make both things? And why is there no single huge boss battle like Tequatl, Mouth of Mordremoth etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerOnline.3650 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've worked all weekend, not much time for serious gaming. I still have a lot to look forward to.I'll take my time and do things as I encounter or learn of them. No rush. Content should last for a good while. I'll hang out with friends, make some new ones.There's still a lot of HoT for me to finish, skills to learn. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangled Depths is explorable 99% even without the meta event.Verdant Brink is 100% explorable without the meta event.Auric Basin is 99% explorable without the meta event.I don't think there were only meta events. There were parties/trains for strongboxes and mastery points which were hard to kill alone. We can call these legendary bounties in the new expansion. Not to mention that there are so much more achievements and titles in HoT. Some people say this expansion is all about exploration. What are you trying to say, guys? Is it that HoT exploration suck? I still remember the long gliding distances in HoT - across tarir for so many collection achievements and in verdant brink. It is cool when you go to the 2nd layer of verdant brink during the day. Tangled depths is 1 huge labyrinth - imo the name of the perfect map. Tangled depths should have been etalon for a good map in PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalkingwolf.6035 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 There will be Meta Events. There is a thread on reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaltys.7649 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Not sure if I understand the question.I'll do the same as on any other map: complete it with alts, then be done with it. Which is the way I prefer it, since running on the same map every day gets tiresome quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckle Joe.7408 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Geez chill out remember the devs always put stuff via the regular updates... meta events will come, new raids will come... just give it time. FFS it was a $30 bucks expansion, its pretty reasonable the amount of stuff it delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draknar.5748 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So you rushed through all content and are done with the expansion. Do whatever it was you did before the expansion came out. If you're that starved for new content, go play something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddoctor.2738 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was wondering what's the point of commander tags in PoF. Other than "bounty on me!" comments I see no reason for a commander tag.Which is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STIHL.2489 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Well you could always go back to HoT, for the next few months while the rest of the player base slowly works its way tough PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I am not rushing and take my time, but an avid gamer (usually I play 3-4h during work days and 5-10 hours weekends), you are done with the 'content rich expansion' rather fast. I am now on map three and - as I said - I take my time. But even then, there isn't much to do after finishing story. There are no dungeons, no raids, no new races, professions, crafting disciplines etc. If they haven't advertised as 'content heavy' I wouldn't complain, but it's pretty short. Also, I thought the story is like 20-30 hours, not only 5-10h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not even about that. I'm playing casually and have 3 maps 100% done already. By myself. After I get the achieves, whats the point in coming back? Thats what this is about. T6 mats? I can get them in LS3 and core faster. Events and loots? Better events in HoT that require more of a team effort. There's little incentive for replay, unless you're doing map complete on multiple chars, which again is easily soloable. HoT maps are years old and people still run the metas many times a day. Thats what PoF maps are missing. PoF maps dont need to be all meta, but they should have something thats incentive to be on them with other people after you're done the single player experience of exploring and map complete.

DedTreeJig.3245 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The maps are very well done, I am looking forward to exploring everything. It will take some time, especially with all of the relentless, respawning veterans inhabiting the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
