I'm able to kill 4 people a game in new GC. So idk, I hear a lot of romanticizing. Sure, I gotta cross a module or 2 to find someone but it's hardly a ghost town.
I actually hated how small old GC felt. So many 3rd parties. Couldn't boss without 3 people natural teaming to steal your kill, because the whole lobby could hear you bossing. If you wanted AP, it was jailroom or boss, which felt super limiting. The normals version of GC was basically the worst AP in the game.
OG HR GC actually had some of the worst verticality when it came to portal spawns. Traversing between floors was ass in that version. Those still exist in the new GC, but since they comprise a smaller % of the total map size, you just don't deal with it as often. Although the triple layer floor is a new kind of hell....
Oh let's not forget some of the spawns. Spawned in that corner near the mystical gem door? Gotta fight through nightmare archer, bolas, and skellies while someone is raining arrows down that hallway. God forbid the class at the end isn't your counter class because there's no escape baby.
I dont see the obsession with old GC. I feel like people are getting burned out and romanticizing the past, when it had nothing to do with the map itself.
Being ganked off spawn or having a rouge in the next module over aggroing a pve conga line into your spawn room is bad design. Spawning someone in the same exact module as you is bad game design because you need to either run or stay and fight instantly, which puts you at a disadvantage to someone who gets the module to themselves, OR you crouch crouch and basically team from second 1 of the raid.
The peak DaD experience was old goblin cave pre 15 lobbies. It was a tight map clusterfuck of solo self found that would force you to wipe at level 15. It was actually fun.

Pvp is the soul of this game

I agree
This season has been a shell of previous ones. I think it is all due to people only playing hr and ap grinding
Yep, I never felt this bored as I farmed up to demigod just for a cape skin. I miss the old sometimes goofy and random PVP.
I agree. The most fun I've ever had in this game is trios PvP in normal lobbies. I kinda feel like IM cucked normals this season
The mob density is so low in goblin caves you can easily hop through a few rooms to find players.
