Before i start with my thoughts i need to say i started back then with The Life After. Then i played 2238. And so i came to Reloaded. I wasnt never such a active player like others. Not in Forum and not in TC.
With starting season 3 i think there are some pros and cons.
Pros:1.) beginner friendly
2.) many quests, jobs and activitys
3.) XP lost after level 24
4.) all Merchants buy everything, some with penalty
5.) no hex
6.) new weapons
Cons:1.) no loot
2.) to less reason for PvP
3.) changes in TC
4.) static XP in caravan
One day i was also a noob in TLA. And it wasnt easy to get out of the spawn or to level up alone. And yes, it was mostly anoying than i get killed and lost all my stuff. But it was ok because it was allways exiting to do anything. And this was verry different from other online games. But since the wipe i really miss the exiting. I allways know nothing unforeseen will happen.
I think a good balance between beginner friendly and fun from older days will be a little change in no loot. Till level 24 you dont loose anything if you get killed. After level 24 you only loose XP. And now the change: After level 30 you can get looted too. I am sure all players who reached level 30 like the game and dont have a really problem to loose their gear.
I also like the idea out of a other thread to earn some XPs for PK. But maybe only in TC.
I think the reason to change TC was to made it more fair for all factions. Now every faction with required amount of members can take a town and benefit from the lockers and the XP every 5 minutes. But i dont like the new changes in TC. Because i think its boring. There is not really a reason for a other faction to defend a town. You only own the town as long as you are in there. Everything what happen after the TC doesnt really matter. Exept for the statistic of town domination. But thats only a statistic. And so TC is now much or less PvE (or like allready said PvM). In my opinion the old system was much more better.
From a certain level there is no incentive to do some caravan. Its only nice until level 40 or so.
For now it all looks like it takes a verry long time to get a high level char. Exept for all players who dont have a real life...
But what i really like is no more hex. Finally you can have a usefull HtH char. Also for some PvP actions.
Sorry, but after all i can say Reloaded is now more like World of Warcraft. Its all save and friendly. And you mainly fight against critters. Only the forum is still harsh as allways...
And sorry for my Kraut english
