This is probably something that needs to stay on Test a LONG time, if that's possible.
I'm really not quite sure how to understand the new way. I definately will opt for corpse or "essence" retrieval and I don't mind losing levels/exp, actually. If I do, then I know I need to get better at something, which presents the necessary challange!
I do have to be careful where I go now, because I don't like to summon my corpse. I like the run/challange, but I don't have groups very often, and when I do, they seem to have to "go" if the going gets rough. So, in that respect, I'm glad for the alters, but not often!!
Another question: 70 hours according to what timer? In game on any toon? In game on THAT toon? RL time? Game time?
This is going to have to be looked at closely, because I'm not sure this is the kind of change that needs to be dealt with just now! I'd vote for making it solid, get the other bugs fixed and then look at the newer content you have waiting in the sidelines. Don't do what EQ2 did and change the rules after the game was just really starting to go well!
And yes, I know that this is Test, so things will change, but that's why I asked to keep it on Test a LONG time!! There are other things that need more review. Let's work on them first, maybe and not worry about changing what people are just really figuring out.
SO...that said, time to get ingame and work it!
