The storyline and cutscenes are much better now and more coherent. Leveling up seems much faster than it was AND loot you get is better than it was for completing the MSQ.
Also and this is big IMO the mini bosses you encounter as you level up drop their rares much easier, so far I have been able to get a couple named rares to drop from them in under 5 kills where before you might have to farm them for hours which was stupid because by the time those rares dropped you would out level them if you didn't bother with farming them which made all these low leveled rare items useless.
Oh and like my son said OMG they finally added a basic feature like swimming!
The loot being better might be attributed to updated loot tables, but also the loot biasing they added back with Rise of the Angry Earth. Things have gotten much, much more relevant from mob drops and chests, at least.
No its not the loot bias I was there since day one and I have over 2k hours in the game and the loot drop rates still sucked arse in RIse of A.
They increased the loot drop rate, dunno about endgame though, for these lower leveled mini bosses. Getting good loot is now super easy as you level and getting your GS up is easy compared to before. I mean my GS is almost 600 and I'm only lv 53 right now and just doing the MSQ and haven't farmed anything.
They tweaked gear rewards and drop rates to be far better no doubt about it.

i tried it yesterday and it's really not hooking me. Also don't remember it being as graphically ugly as it is. Looks like a much older MMO than i remembered it to be honestly. Don't think it will hook me in.
If you're on PC, try turning off FSR, which is now on by default. FSR makes this game look like it's been smeared with vasoline.
What's FSR? I can't find it in the options?
Settings. Video. Resolution Scaling. Its FSR or OFF. Turn it off!
I've been playing, and I have to say I am having a blast. My brother and a few of his friends have also returned and are loving it.
Honestly this is how the game should have been at launch; it would have retained a huge chunk of the original players if it had been. Here is hoping AGS can actually do it right this time and maybe/hopefully pull an FFXIV of sorts.
