It's been 5 days since Wings of the Goddess went live.
A few hiccups here and there with the servers accompanied with some emergency maintenance has put a slight dampener on the fun aspect, but nevertheless there seems to be a LOT to be excited about.
SE did it right this time in making the two new jobs easily unlockable; the constant shouts in Whitegate in the first week of TOAU was painful at best. I was able to unlock Dancer within the first hour that the servers went live with WOTG content.
A few things I've observed so far:
- The missions are a little lacking. 2-3 missions on the release date which are all solo-able make for a very short intro to WOTG.
- The overwhelming majority opinion is that Dancer > Scholar as far as new jobs are concerned. This could also just mean Scholar just needs more time to be 'broken' in.
- Campaign is a hit, at least amongst the people I play with. One guy boasted gaining over 20k xp over the weekend from just doing Campaigns, which also accumulate Allied Notes for him; he's got more than enough to be swimming in the new movement speed boots.
- Although there's barely any mission content, the new areas are spectacular, and the new mobs are exciting.
- SE's new windower.. needs work.
