Nordinvasion's aim

[Sir_Eldras]

As a longtime player of NI (with a lvl 52 char. and some alts,) I've all but retired from the mod because of this whole camping Odin grind. I've never had a legendary, and have sunk hundreds of hours in to the mod. The only unique thing my main character owns is a silly/weak donator torch, which I use only because it's like my own personal jokey legendary. I remember when seeing a legendary was awe-inspiring. Now, when I hop on a server, I see countless people decked out in eye-popping amounts of legendary gear. It used to be that a tome or barrel was something that one person owned in the whole mod (Banks *cough* cough*.) Now, every house has multiple of each. The mod didn't get easier, we all did what humans are wired to do, relentlessly pursue the easiest course of action with the most benefit. As a result, we've just learned every *legal* workaround to defeat the mod as quickly as we can.

I would support a full-on reset, hurt feelings be damned. I would also support the prestige idea, as it really may help to alleviate some hurt feelings. Additionally, I would love to see the mod have open field maps w/o camp spots as well, as shielding/camping is BORING (yawn.) What's the point in designing amazing looking maps when they could all essentially be straight funnels into our shield walls?

As I see it, the combo of a full reset, more open maps, and a complete removal of cades/tomes/barrels (flame away... I know) would return the mod to that old feeling of every wave being chaotic, intense, challenging, skill-based, and fun. Getting to prince/Odin/Thor/hell, even through the first respawn wave would mean something again. And, the cherry on top is to LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF LEGENDARIES - PERIOD!! Then, if someone did have a legendary, it could potentially turn the tide of battle.
