Now that I can type properly again... here are my thoughts!
• Do you find the background lore, NPC emotes, quest background stories etc. engaging or entertaining, or don't really care much either way?
I enjoyed the way you brought the lore together in the zones. Would be cool to see you bring the same type of lore or even new gods into the lore of EZ!
I'd love another side fight like how Tunare was setup.. maybe with a different god.
• Is there any mechanic that we've used previously that you would, or would not like to see repeated?
Tunare style fight was great, maybe with new spells / mechanics. A mechanic I'd love to see is adding a reason for healers to "cure".. make a debuff that can only be cured by a new line of spells that only healer classes get. Not a fan of huge AOE dots that hit all characters ect that you just heal through.
One nasty debuff that needs to be cured or you spawn something bad ect.. or if the full duration goes it AOEs around them ect. (a lot of this SPA exist and would be awesome on EZ!) Preferably not spammed to overwhelm someone with only 1 or 2 healer types though.. but maybe scales with the number of characters fighting?
In short.. I loved Tunare and it was a very cool idea and I'd love to see it expanded upon as another side boss with a cooldown to kill!
• Feelings on bane weapons?
HATE the idea of Bane weapons HATE HATE HATE.. however!!! We have useless aug slots of the Ultimate weapon.. maybe change the ultimate click augment slot to a "Bane slot". Have an augment we need to farm in a zone to add bane damage to a weapon. Could maybe even script the boss to be immune to magic unless the caster has a bane augment in their weapon.
• Aside from the content, what would you like to see 'fixed' as part of this Tier? Example I've heard: Item effects are not very useful/being re-used. But it's open ended, whatever you'd like to see done better in some way, or fixed.
Ultimate click augment slot from above.. would love it changed to something useful or unique like the bane augment idea! Or have it as a multi-purpose slot.. can fit bane augs or something new.
Add click nukes to older tier ranged items for casters so they work their way up to the newer ones. (VP click / Halloween) These items really make a caster shine from their instant damage. Casters feel janky till they get one of these items. Dont really know what section to put this in.. but feels off for casters.
• Since this post will probably get people's attention, is there anything currently broken or janky that you feel needs to be addressed? (completely separate from the Tier).
Pet bag seems janky to have to put an item into it before zoning, would be nice to have item on cursor and do like a #setpetweapon1 ect and it saves a variable to data bucket so you don't have to keep placing items in it.
Spell descriptions to show the proper info.. this is way down on the list of priority because MQ shows what they do. But would be nice to match the spellfile to the dbstr_us file so new spells show the correct info.
