Yea I think thats one of the main challenges they'll face. How do you have raid progression while keeping gear relatively flat. I can think of some example ideas but its definitely a challenge. They've also said it won't be entirely flat, just significantly flatter than classic->retail was.
It could be the secondary lighting option. I don't know how they do it in this game, but for most that's spooling up extra threads to voxelize the world around you and then do rough bounced lighting. Similar to old quake 2 radiosity that used to take days to do on a simple level.
Does that place have better designed quests? As in, no quests that require rare-ish spawn mobs with low drop rates, or quests with high numbers of low drop rate items, etc.? Because, if you're saying this here, I imagine -everyone- is going to go to Riverlands.
So because the questing here is after 30 it wasn't tested and it not part of the rested xp add on so no one is here. I don't have to fight others for quest mobs like I did the entire time in STV. There are 100s of quests and the music/ scenery is nice. Highly recommend
Spoken working like Radio Diaries from Bioshock is like Chef's Kiss. It's remarkable how good it is.
I made a dwarf shaman and played like an hour or 2 and got up to 10. Was still pretty damn crowded, must be insane at 28-40.
Yes. There's a general male narrator, but the NPC voices are both sex/race differentiated. It's quite good. Trolls actually talk with troll slang, orcs have the gravel to their voice, etc.
