Lord/Fredd -> Delta, the new Beta? (7/13/2011 18:46:26)

Almost all of us "older players" can easily all agree that Beta was the best phase so far. In Alpha the game was too young and needed alot of improvement and balancing, and in gamma alot of updates was unnecesary and some even... dumb (Fame..). Gamma was also the period were this gamma took the step from being regulare priced to dam expensive (enhancement more than doubles the price of all items) as many features were added which required lots of varium or buying the 10k pack which gave you the best items (until 2 weeks later). Many good features were also added imo, like varium sellback.
I retired in the middle of gamma, to expensive if you wanted to be among the best, and old items were quickly outclassed. What made me play so much in Beta was that all kind of build could work, even though some of them were better than others. The non-variums also had a fair chance, as there weren't many super-varium-weapons as there is today. I remember being a lv 27 non-varium and beating lots of lv 30's with a super charge build. If a non-varium tried that build now... they would be destroyed in a matter of seconds. I bought the big varium pack (Which gave me Founder + Beta Weapons) not because i really needed it, but because i wanted to support the game! (Even though 10k varium and awesome equipment is nice ^^). As i already had alot of items my 10k lasted VERY long. Almost all people were happy when we entered Gamma. That quickly changed.
As for Delta i am very optimistic. 3 new classes, a new NPC, new weapon pack with 4 EPIC weapons, and a new 2 vs 1 boss is imo the biggest update EVER, and also one of the best. TLM is a bit overpowered (lets face it..) but they can still be countered. Also the credit option for class change is very nice for non-variums or just people who wanna save theirs. The new weapons are not only good, but also plain fun! Being shrunk is one of the funniest things imo, and even though you loses 20 suport it is so fun watching your self being so little. As for now, we have no idea how they are going to nerf TLM (or/and buff the other classes) but the fact that the devs reacts so fast on a mistake is very nice and a good sign.
I think we are facing a better period than gamma, hopefull it will bring back the "spirit" from Beta. Anyway it looks very fun and i am looking forward to any updates they might bring. But what about you? Discuss.
