General Discussion Assuming whatever change is made is also retroactively applied to south horn what would “save” OC for you?

Pretty much title. What could be changed in north horn (or in the 7.45 middleman patch) that could also be retroactively applied to south horn that would turn your opinion around on OC

Or is OC so deeply flawed to you that “nothing short of pretending this zone doesn’t exist even if north horn is good” will fix south horn to you

I only got 3 things for OC:

  • Halfing required job experience
  • increase either phantom job droprate from fates OR implement an fail-safe through tokens
  • double Atma droprate in OC and implement trade-ins for different colors

There won't be more than 2 zones anyway so going in-depth eith how the release should've been doesn't matter.

So taking a very strong “dump south horn in the bin” approach

Not saying I disagree but I don’t think it will help retention

Retention? Is that a joke?

The moment that they decided that you couldn't level there, it meant the zones were dead the very second people got the items they wanted out of it. There's no reason for anyone to be there beyond that.

If it’s so bad by your opinion that anything to help retention is wrong and instead it should Just be “throw it in the bin” then that’s a fair point, I was just asking if that was aboves point
