Fury's ideas in order of importance...
#1 - Most importantly, The Circle needs an outside Den. To this end, the reasons for the change , RP conversation to make the change feasible and the outside DEN area have already been submitted.
#2 - Allow players to submit new area runs. The this end, a new 10 area run (The Rise of the Lycans) meant to be in the scope of DE & Ely, is all created including all the new exciting creatures. All that is needed is for a DEV to scale the new beasts to fit the areas. No need to reveal any secrets
Also, I would put out a contest and allow the player base to design many of the new gear drops. Of course the DEVs would have the final say.
#3 - I agree that the drop rate seems a little low at times... indeed as the Iron one says... Tis brutal to invest three to four hours of intense gaming to come up empty.
#4 - Up the rate of unique drops.
#5 - Provide some where for us sell all the extra high level gear we find.
Thanks for all you guys do... we love it here
at your service,
Hail Fury
