The Kryptis Skyscale has no tail ...
… which pretty much ruins the skin for me.
I’m pretty much done with SotO.
- Story complete.
- Wizard Tower Teleportation Stone
- Map Completion
- All Masteries unlocked
- Observatory Strike done
I’m only missing a ferw Achievements to get both Map Masteries and the final Strike mission.
Overall impression … mixed bag. Feels rushed (as always) with many bugs, oversights and terrible optimization, especially in Amnytas.
I highly doubt that the SotO maps will see much players in a few weeks. There are a lot places in the game that are both more fun and more rewarding.
The Wiizrad Vault rewards are probably the best part of the expansion. Especially when you are still gearing up your characters with Ascended or even Legendary gear.

That thing is delightfully ugly. I gave it to my sylvari Necromance who enjoys fleshy things.
Rifts are the kind of content that makes me disregard developers just because they’re “professionals”. Shit like that should have them be ashamed of themselves. The story was fine, killing Mabon was the usual cheap death and the game would’ve been better by keeping him around. I liked him, but naturally he was build to be liked to wring a reaction by killing him off. The entire thing was so nonsensical it boggled my mind. Like the entire character cast has been lobotomized to not notice that something is up.
Wizard Vault is…fine? Technically good, but slapping another system in top of the existing ones feels like some advisor told them to do it. Prewviews are shit, you have to click much more and God knows why they nuked the ability to pick and choose. Yeah, yeah. I know. Engagement. Get fucked, play like we tell you to play! …has always worked out great for games.
All in all it’s impressive what they managed to create considerig what they had to work with, but it’s really not so impressive. Their biggest achievement is that they sold Living World back to the player base at full price without anyone giving a shit.

It does. Absolutely. It’s been strongly WoWified since HoT and the introduction of raids and traditional roles, but since the coup it really got to the next level.
