No, I wouldn't have left, but the current state of Elemental in PvE or PvP annoys the hell out of me. You're still going to have to be more specific for me to give a proper answer that'll satisfy you.

No. That answer was fine.

Significant gameplay is limited to what is in development. Atm, outposts are flavour of the month and, although not a PvP fan, I look forward to this significant change.

Outpopsts were not intended as PvP solely. A Guild would be selected on its fame rating and could acquire outposts in various ways. It would then defend it against environmental foes or possibly other guilds. It depends very much on what methodology was required from here as to the enjoyment.

If there was a reasonable strategy element (not just charge through the front gate killing anything that moves) then I would probably be happy. There isn't any point of elaborating on the various strategies as they are likely to get the same notice as most other suggestions. Its a wait & see situation.

I still think that those changes are necessary and long overdue but Nevrax must come out with new stuff or content regularly to keep people interested.

I think your right on this. that is why i think they should give us some new STUFF every once in a while to keep us from getting bored and leaving the game. I've been playing since open beta 2003 and not much has changed.

As I suspected, explains why you think the changes are good mate. They don't affect you, exept maybe when you die because the healer you are tanking for is too weak to keep you alive.

They do affect me.

Now I may manage to actually get a hit in during treks.
Now I won't be useless when some interesting, story-based PvP comes around.
Remember, there were more tweaks than just to the magic too.

It IS needed.

You think i get an ele hit in on treks ? Probably you get more hits in then me
I allready started to train 2H melee again.

But i still hope nerf is the last option. How about high degrade in coma and a ress timer ?

Every trek relies on someone staying fresh, Jyudas, just in case. I hate breaking a sweat so I always hang around at the back trying to keep everyone to a respectable pace and it seems to work well

I'm still wondering about Alyssah's cotton buds, but ...

... what I want for Xmas is more colour!

Beige, purple, green or turquoise in Basic and Fine is .. okay .. only red and blue in Choice, Excellent and Supreme is atrocious! (black and white do NOT count as colours ) Each piece of clothing has only two colours that a crafter can pick - the primary is governed by the major ingredients, the accent is governed by the quality grade. Wouldn't it be great to be able to influence the accent with your materials and allow the quality grade only to affect the pattern style and shininess ?
