Last time i played was around this time last year. I left cause i was tired of having to spam 205 Fixer LFT in the Pen garden only to do the same exact dungeon over and over again.   I know LE launch since i played, did it add anything interesting to the game ?  Did they add anything you can do solo, i know back last year, soloing at 205 was next to impossible, 200+ SL mobs hit for insane damage, what about LE, did they add something even remotly soloable past 200 ?

    haha
    don't you love the community here?
    Anyway, i was in the same situation as you are, I just returned a month ago from a year ago and not to much has changed.

    the mobs are still unsoloable haha.
    You need to get on Rk-2 though cause RK1's pop is significantly lower than it was before.

    It's easier to make your character and level him because once you level it will automatically suggest what you should spend your skill points on based on your equipment and class etc.

    Same community, a lot more froobs.
    There's always a good population and they've seemed to have added more insurance terminals.

    LE added nothing more than MEchs aparently which to me so far, seem like a gimmick. They just don't do to much, but at least it didn't mess with any of the other game mechanics.

    Hit me up,
    "Deimmos" or "Cromos" on RK-2

    Only those who can't understand the system would use the auto-allocating option, as it is anything but optimal for someone who wants a good build for their character.

    Lemme guess, you're a fr00b.
    LE added:
    PvP battlestation to earn victory points, which can be spent for new OFAB armor/weapons 
    New AI/LE missions to earn AIXP as well as small amounts of VP for those who don't PvP but still want the new goods.
    Mechs/turrets for use in tower wars and battlestation, as well as regular PvP, research skill system to add to your stats and give new perk abilities.
    New storyline quest for those with the SL expansion.
    Optimiztions for the client.
    Hit me up,

    "Deimmos" or "Cromos" on RK-2
    Perhaps you should wait until you have knowledge of the game yourself, before offering to inform others of what to expect.

    i agree with wise i reactivated after long time away and theres so much new content i don't know what to do first most the time. Also if you play free acct. Yeah theres not much new content there but some.
  • BeanchillaBeanchilla Member Posts: 260

    I'm not a froob, and as I said i've just come back a month ago, and I haven't used the mechs in PvP yet.

    Other than that all I said was true.
    And the optimization thing for leveling up is VERY handy when you make a new character.

    Maybe not at the later levels but for sure, as with my new toon, it's known what it's doing.

    Other than that, I don't really like your condescending tone, The mobs in SL are still unsoloable at 200+. RK1 is far less populated. LE did add some new quests except it still is just a rehash of older content, and those missions have little to do with gameplay alterations, which is what the poster asked about.

    And also apparently haven't noticed or been told in a month's time about the battlestation, the AI/LE missions, etc. which are all gameplay affecting content. Psst, if you press "R" ingame , you can do research. I figure I should at least tell you that, just in case you "missed" that too.

    If it works for you, I guess....
    Other than that, I don't really like your condescending tone,
    Gee, that's too bad. And yet, you read my post.
    The mobs in SL are still unsoloable at 200+.
    What you stated in your original post was that mobs were unsoloable, no mention of SL or 200+. Nice save.
     RK1 is far less populated.
    Wouldn't know. never played RK1 in the years I've been playing. I'll take your word for that.
     LE did add some new quests except it still is just a rehash of older content,
    Because something is a continuation of or references to older content, does not make it a "rehash".
     and those missions have little to do with gameplay alterations, which is what the poster asked about.
    Funny, I recall him asking about changes to the game in the year since he's been away, not only "gameplay alterations" (which, by the way, every patch is a "gameplay alteration").

    Hmm :/ i see.. so it's pretty much the same thing... too bad was hoping to get back.... thanks for the answers.

  • BeanchillaBeanchilla Member Posts: 260

    as you can tell by his last post, i did indeed answer his question, and he wasn't really intrested in new missions.

    Continuation of older content, is exactly what a rehash is.

    Just because I don't like your tone doesn't mean im not willing to argue with it.

    I already know about research, and have done personal research.

    The poster wanted to know if the game had changed,
    new missions do not change the game, it's not like someone who played a year ago will return because of new missions.

    As for my SL 200+ comment, I didn't think i needed to mention that, because that is what he asked about.

    Maybe you should read the original posters questions before actually attacking my response.

    So you are trying to get to 200 as a froob ? Hehe good luck, i remember when i played my first character back when the game launch, getting my engi to 200 doing nothing but missions took me a little over 40 days.  And when i say 40 days, it's 40 played days, 960hrs.

  • inmysightsinmysights Member UncommonPosts: 450

    and noone even does that anymore, missions are becoming VERY scarce in the old world cities. most are done in Pen or Inferno nowadays.

    I am so good, I backstabbed your face!

    AO may have expansions, but the gameplay is horrid in terms of server stability, bugged missions, disconnects, latency and synchronization. I guess thats why they have it free to play, because that makes it quite obvious to me, that funcom has no intention of fixing this game, but rather recruiting froobs like me to give you guys someone to play with.
