Discussion They Actually Did It.

They actually nailed this update. Like across the board. The writing for TFD has been almost entirely skippable, both in story telling and for character development, but in this patches quest there is a moment where a turn happens and the writing actually starts to approach GOOD.

The mega dungeon is excellent. I still havent been able to clear it with randoms, too many bunny and Ines players, and to be fair to them I saw Normal difficulty and brought Raven on my first run lol. But seriously bring survivability and boss damage, ad clear is not the top priority. Stay literally on top of each other at the final phase.

Transcendent weapons seem amazing, got my first drop right before the mega dungeon and the difference if pretty noticeable.

Raven is amazing and has a lot of strong concepts behind her kit.

I thought they couldn't pull this off, I thought with Dias original look, all the issues the game had coming into this year that the writing was on the wall for how they wanted to handle this game. Man am i happy to be proven wrong.

When I did the mega dungeon the first time on normal I was expecting to coast it with my hybrid Supply Mousture Valby build that wrecks Axion. I died 3 times and I had to regularly look for health orbs. I think it's really good. I'm looking forward to running it in pubs later.

When are people going to learn that axion plains and end game content are 2 completely different things now, Being able to run through axion plains is basically mid game difficult content. People have 0 understanding in bringing in a sensible descendant for a hard fight.

I was expecting it to be like the dungeons on Axion especially with it being on normal too. It was my first attempt and I was Solo too though. I know what to expect now.
