Good evening, Heroes! The server will be coming down at Midnight EST (approximately in 2 hours) for (hopefully) a brief (tm) downtime tonight to bring live many changes! We have been listening to player feedback and continuing our endeavor to make this the best experience it can be! Among the many updates tonight:
- Exp gain from 63-65 is going to be increased. I meant for the difficulty to be raised by 5% and because I suck at non linear geometry, it was raised by 50% (sorry).
- The level requirement on PoTime is being removed. This barrier was stopping friends from enjoying this content together, and since an individual needs to complete the progression to gain access, there was no reason to have this additional barrier. However if you enter Plane of Time under leveled and under geared you probably will have a bad time.
- MANY script/encounter changes and fixes based on bug reports. It is important to note, that while many things are being changed, it is not necessarily that they are bugged- and more so that they are behaving differently than players expect. We have players whose experience spans over two decades- and depending on when you first experienced this content, what guides you follow, and what voices you listen to in Discord, there are many small but important differences.
Moving forward we are trying to either: remove hidden timers, allow for failed encounters to be automatically retried, or update the in game PoP progression guide (Alt + N if you didn't know!) to clue players in on what the expected behavior is here. In most scenarios we will be doing a combination of these things. We also wanted to address expectations around what is considered "Progression" content and what is not in Planes of Power. ie. What will unlock GoD? What are players expected to be able to solo?
GoD unlock will most likely fall around T2 encounters but is still, officially, TBD. It is expected that
most players will be able to solo to T3 in PoP without min maxing. With enough knowledge, AA, gear, and planning. Everything, up to and including Quarm is 100% Duo-able. As always, play the way you want, enjoy this experience- and don't let anyone tell you what is or is not fun
