With Murkmire the content we've know about for a while is winding down. But all MMORPGs evolve, and while it's more "safe" and efficient to just re-skin mechanics and retread storylines, new things (or at least meaningful variations) can keep things from getting stale.





What's your quick-read pitch for new content?

    To get the ball rolling...

    A zone (DLC or Chapter) where some part of the story is experienced differently depending on your alliance. Overall, the end result and most of it is the same, but you contribute in different ways, perhaps even to contributing to a problem that comes up for the zone.

    Generic example: DC players are asked (tricked) into getting some item. AD players are asked to find a way into some lost or forbidden area. EP players are asked to escort someone with an item to a forbidden area. On your playthrough, you wouldn't know what the other alliances are asked to do, just your part. Later you find out it was part of a scheme to trick adventurers into helping with something awful, and since you contributed you have to help set it right. No need to mention the other "phases" in detail or that such and such alliance was involved, just that "adventurers like you" helped with getting and using the item to unleash... something bad or dangerous.

    Fun way to tell the story, rewards (but doesn't require) doing the playthrough on multiple characters.

    Using the Alliances in that way for storytelling is kinda nifty.

    I dont have any thoughts though. All i want is moar land to explore.

    id like to see something along the lines of a large scale group or even everyone in a zone content

    Like floors of a tower type deal that everyone has to come together to beat and unlock the next lvl O.o

    possible battle spire themed

    Come together at all once or each making a contribution on their own or in small groups?

    I would like to see a DLC storyline starting off on the five companions especially on the 5th companion that was never found.

    Also a DLC with The Bard College where it describes a new skill line of abilities or passives.

    A new Arena (monsters and beasts Arena) where you fight against beast and monsters on a solo level of gameplay just like Maelstrom Arena but one on one no adds involved. Plus I would love to see 30 levels of fighting monsters and beasts for the Arena.

    Gardening and Farming as a new Skill line.

    Not familiar with that, hear the name/basic plot of the anime but not the detail

    A farm (even if represented by a small garden) would be nice.
