Posting my thoughts separately:
So it looks like they're trying something new here with these limited time quests with the larger 24-player pools and easy weapon drops. Will these work? The game certainly needs new content between the big releases but recycled areas and mobs+bosses likely won't be engaging for most people.
The game is doing real poorly in terms of Steam players lately; player count usualy hovers around 2K. There's likely at least another 1K online from other platforms at any given moment.
I'll credit the dev team for making the biggest 180 degree turn since Kvaris; its enough to give you whiplash! We've gone from farming for ★7 Kaizaar weapons for 6 months, having to earn bages for the budget option ★7 Kaizarr Mk I., and the ocassional decent event weapons to easily ★8 obtainable *everywhere*. I certainly like that better. I imagine either the Global player count plunge has really spooked them or they have data and/or feedback regarding how difficult it is for new players to catch up. Or maybe its both.
Reminder that we are now in February so today's news matches the roadmap. In March we can expect the Spring Event to return. I've reposted it below.
