After fighting in 6 wars, I foresee a big rebalance incoming
1) Point capture pretty much comes down to "who has the most tanky dudes in heavy armor /w 2 handed hammers" and "who has the most healers in tanky heavy armor". People are starting to figure out this meta and it's so OP to the point that it almost feels like a liability if you dont run it
2) Defenders have a fairly large disadvantage - they cannot rebuild their cannons or repeaters once they die. Now that people have figured out the wars a bit more, the meta is usually attackers drop a fuckton of cannons at the start and focus fire the fort cannons, while musket squads snipe the gunners. The defenders usually can't repair this fast enough and it is extremely easy to just knock out the enemy cannons permanently. However, the attackers can continue to just buy more repeaters/cannons and use them to support point pushes
3) There is pretty much no cooldown on wars - its extremely easy to basically keep a zone in a permanent state of war
It basically just feels like whoever has the biggest death ball with repeaters sniping the healer backlines wins
I wouldn't be half surprised if heavy armor gets a big nerf to magical defenses, that would make it much easier to counter heavy armor deathballs with magic AOE. I could also see them raising the cost of attacker cannons so you can't just easily buy a fuckton right at the start and blow up the fort defenses in seconds, or giving the defenders a chance to rebuild their defenses

I figured out my solution to the mana potion problem. Just run boars for a bit and you get so many god damn drops. It'll absolutely get nerfed eventually, but I've got quite a few now.
I've had to spend a lot of time there leveling weapons, because I'm dying constantly trying to quest now. There are too few people running them, too high a mob density, and too high a spawn rate.
So any quest that requires me to collect chests, kill a boss type mob, or interact with something deep in the zone has resulted in me dying. Normal kill quests are the only ones that aren't a shit show.

He is working on one dark log at a time. It's painstaking labor.

Weird because it's just set to spawn that fast, it's not "repeatedly chain spawning" anything, they coded it that way.

I agree, but you know how these things usually go. It's the players fault for abusing it, not the developers fault for coding it that way.

Considering how poorly thought out the game is, I am not at all surprised they don't know how their own game works. I got sent out to do a single quest...which was a 5 minute walk. I was full of undead (YAWN) that spawned so quickly they dog piled me. How is it an exploit simply trying to get to a quest objective? As a bonus, the quest was in two parts, so I had to beat my way to the other spot. When I arrived, I found that I couldn't complete the quest because the final objective as a mob that took off most of my health in two hits. About 15 minutes down the tube with no benefit at all.
All this was after I got sent to another area...that was 8 levels below my level...another 6 minute walk wasted.
This game needs another rework and another year or so in the oven. Polish ain't going to put shine on this turd.
