Best Of

It is only a grind if it’s very repetitive. When more systems and quests come online it won’t feel that way.

I would love so much to work for a game company like Intrepid, to shape and bring the world of Verra to life with all kinds of unique places. I truly hope this is planned.

Imagine inns styled like Stormwind, placed in remote corners of the map to offer shelter and rest to traveling adventurers. Mansions, towers filled with monsters and trinkets, chests spawning randomly with various rewards... The game already provides amazing atmospheres, so creating places filled with charm and history would be truly fantastic.

Currently, there's mostly bestiary and humanoids scattered everywhere, but I already really enjoy the points of interest. However, what I would truly love to see in the coming years are RPG elements taking over Verra.

Being able to sit at a tavern table, enjoying a cozy atmosphere... I know many features are being prepared, but bringing back the importance of "RPG" is essential, and it's something that has been lost a lot in recent years.

So yeah, a world shaped with charming places, exploration, ancient ruined cities like the ones we already have, but with furniture and lore. And I would love to be able to create them myself.

I would like to see more rpg elements in the game such as: epic class quests that reward you with special items or advanced spells. For example as a mage in order to learn lightning spells I have to locate a missing master/trainer who is the only known person to use this type of magic, or as a ranger to do a special quest that rewards you with a magical quiver that makes your arrows infinite,or to become a bounty hunter I have to complete an achievement to kill 3 red players first to prove I’m worthy and then I am rewarded with a magical map that shows all red players in the area.Little things like these that add flavor and/or reasons to travel and explore. Can you think of other rpg elements you would like to see? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Dev Discussion - Rogue Archetype

The Development Team wants your thoughts on the new Rogue Archetype! What are your first impressions of the Rogue? Do you have any thoughts or concerns regarding the Rogue? What are your favorite and least favorite aspects of the Rogue so far?

Edit - The team is looking for feedback on the following:

(As you share feedback, please note what level your Rogue is at!)

• General Rogue Feedback - What feels fun, and what doesn’t? Which abilities do you like best, and which abilities do you feel need the most improvement?
• Visual Effects (VFX) and Sound Effects (SFX) - How do you feel about current VFX and SFX for the Rogue archetype? While these are a work in progress, we want to know what you like, and what you don’t.
• Rogue Class Mechanic “Advantage” - How does it feel to generate this resource and spend it to empower abilities?
• Rogue Stealth - How does this feel to use in PvE? How does this feel to use in PvP?
• Dagger Weapon Combos - What do you like about Dagger weapon combos, and what do you feel needs improvement?

Please don't feel limited to the thought-starters above! Feel free to share any thoughts, concerns, or stories regarding gathering with us in this Dev Discussion.

Great job on this list. My favorite idea is allowing gear sets to be crafted past recipe level to make lower level POI sets still viable. To expand I'd like to see them make all POI mob levels match the highest level person in the group and the drops match the level of the person that won it. This would make all POI/mob encounters worth repeating at late stage game play. This also makes all the quests in the game have some meaning after 90% of the player base power levels to 50 ignoring any content. For example, a level 50 player farming grem skins at lionhold would have to fight grems his level making him actually have to compete for the hunted grems with the level 5's out there.

If the overland mobs matched the level of the highest person in the group, let's say that's Level 15, what happens when there's another group there contesting the mob spawns, and their highest person in that separate group is Level 14? The Grem can't be both Level 15 and Level 14.

20 days into the game without reading about the game before or watching youtubes/streams. Friend and I just started playing and this is where I am now. Games to easy imo, we need epic+ to be super rare. 1-50k rate for lego for example. Also the XP needed to level everything from players, weapons, crafts, nodes etc. Everything is at least 100x to LOW , the rates need to go up a lot. But with that said, we need more POI/PVE content to grind on to increase the rates.
Granted I did have to find crafters to make my gear, which took almost just as long as it did to farm the mats to make the gear LOL.
But I still think it should be much much much harder to create even a heroic item let alone a epic/lego item. I want OSRS rates / EQ 1 / SWG . Not WoW raid drop rates.
Just my thoughts.
