Hey all,

My thought on this update? *sniff sniff* — <smells like a money grab>.

Let’s start with the stupidest thing ever — ancients. YAIE (Yet Another Item Enhancement) option meant to extort LC. We already had epic rolls, then shards (which I have used). Why would I toss my level 10 items in hopes of an ancient, and then what shards would I use to upgrade the ancient? I already trashed my older epic gear in order to get shards. Now am I supposed to have waited in order to try to combine them into ancients? It’s barely even new within the realm of YAIEs! It’s just another layer that once again adds nothing to gameplay or strategy (unless you count “open your wallet” as a stellar strategic tactic).

New Caves — seemed pretty easy, but I did have all my birds at 70 mastery before this update. I was able to two-bird all caves (including the final boss in last cave) and still get three stars. I did use the piggie helpers as available (so, six times), but I don’t think I would have needed them. Pretty easy to get to level 80 in experience with 20 xp-doubler potions and slogging through the caves with health potions and rage cake. I used Samurai and Marksmen on the first new cave, and then Wizard and Seadog on the last one.

As for everything else, not much to say. Larger leaderboards are interesting but not that big of a deal, I don’t play the Arena, and there’s no other new content. So it is back to grinding mastery (which is slightly cheaper, it would appear) if I even want to bother. Everything else “new” is just more of the same, and looks entirely like a money-grab. So much for this “version 2” of Epic being some grand new enterprise…

Thanks,
