I have none. The current state of the game isn't worth the effort of trying to do any kind of progression.
Before the update actually dropped and I found out how badly they'd messed it up, however, my goal was to actually start enjoying my alts more and to continue having fun doing all content. I enjoyed the combat of Vindi paired with the social aspects. The challenge is gone for all but S3, and S3 Hero at that really, and the power creep to do that area on even my mains? Nah.
If they ever revert some of the changes to make the game more social again and to make it so that even in the best gear Hero S1 can be a challenge for all, and so that S1 Hard is a challenge for a good number of players--and that mode actually gets put back into the game--I'd love to get back into things.
I have multiple +15s and I'll tell you that they don't make those 4 person runs feel any less lonely, hah. I really, really enjoyed doing a Royal Army Polar Bear run and just seeing a large group interacting again. Massively Multiplayer Online, and DevCat has taken that away for most of the battles.
Sorry for the diatribe, I just really am let down that the game has been turned into this when this update had the potential to make the game amazing for both old and new players alike.
This thread is not to argue and fight or to cause issue. I'd simply like to get an idea of how many who frequent the forums or their friends and guildies have left the game or stopped spending money in light of the recent update. Please feel free to give details for your decision as you like.
Please keep this civil. Those with opposing views are free to start your own thread in support of everything wonderful about the update in their opinions.
If possible, please include what, if anything, would cause you to return to the game or start spending again.
I will not spend another dollar until:
1) 6 and 8 player battles are returned as they were.
2) Attack speed is restored. It seems from playing so far that to encourage players to eventually push for +20 the effective speed at each enhance level has been tuned down. Maybe this is unintentional, but with everything else that has happened it definitely does not feel that way and players are rather upset that the effort they've put into increasing that stat counts for less than ever.
3) The unnecessary gear score requirements for the raids are removed. When players with full orange +15 90s don't meet the requirements for Special battles something is very off. Suddenly gating players out of content that they could do regularly before is unfair and only worsens what is becoming a less populated game by the day.
I understand that many players in KR have presented their issues as well, and I'd like to do the same with ours in a clear, concise way. Thanks for the help, everyone.
If you see above those are the default requirements, not any set by the host.
Now I know why in the time I was actually in game I never saw a boat up for that. Really, what the heck is this update about? It's literally doing everything possible to make the game as divisive as possible. Both this and 4 player limits make the game feel less and less like there's any kind of community to play with anymore.
Only furthers my statement, I'm not spending another dollar on Vindi until these changes are rolled back.
I'm with you on that. Aside from this being Fashiondictus, it's pretty annoying not to get the 6 piece bonus on top of having no say in what you're running with. Doesn't surprise me, though, because like 90% of this update it's done half way rather than in a manner that makes sense.
