Meh, only been playing 4 months give or take ... took me 4 weeks to see prince for the first time... and boy oh boy did it feel like an accomplishment, but for the last month or longer, i have been to the prince countless times and killed him, which makes it feel hollow... more difficulty makes the game sooo much more worth the 60 or so deaths to get to the prince just once.
Now Odin, first time i got to him was about 7 weeks ago and we killed him, and that was at the time the proudest moment of mine in this game... but shortly after that, is when i noticed that prince and Odin were now an everyday thing, happening once or twice a day for Odin, and several times a day for the prince... and this is without map hopping for outskirts etc... i ultimately got bored with shieldwalling, and the grinding, and how Simple the game had become... getting to prince with 1 commando with gold shields, and maybe a sniper, with the other 14, were just tier two... with usually 12 or so still alive for prince, it became ridiculous.
Now the maps:
1, if the maps hadn't been updated i would expect about 20-30% possibly more of the dedicated players leaving until next patch - for good...which would seriously damage the advancement of leeching low levels, and also the Donations that help keep the servers running... would you rather have a challenge in a game, or a game with possibly 5-6 servers running?
2, the only map i can see why people would moan is outskirts, yes it is now terribly hard to win on with randoms/ on hard, but thats life, things change, and not always for the better... FUS and mountians pass, in my opinion still have massive potential in them, as to being the 'best' maps in the game.
3, legendary drops became commonplace, which was crippling their status as 'legendary' and would have threatened to have made them notched down to 'Rare', causing less people to be dedicated to killing prince and odin, driving yet more people out of the game.
Sorry if im off topic or w.e, but just wanted to add my two pence to this immature fuss over ' NI being ruined due to bad maps' the only thing ruining the game is people crying over this update that in my opinion saved the game, like a lazy spoilt child, who isn't aloud a Mcdonalds until they tidy their room.
Would you want to be a popstar/ actor if it paid just as well as a 9 to 5 office job...? - If something in life is easy, its not worth doing.
