S.
Overall, I'm pretty meh on it.
The balance changes are a part of it, I admit. It's just incredibly frustrating having things -like DoTs- (overly) buffed in one update and nerfed again in the next. A major swing in one direction followed by a swing in the exact opposite direction. It's a good thing I didn't have all my characters sorted out for the previous meta. Still, I spent a decent chunk of time trying to sort out my characters and I *still* haven't fixed some of them.
The zone design itself is okay. There's nothing that really stands out overly much to me. It's a nice enough place and runs reasonably well compared to other locations.
Quests? The main quest was unremarkable. Had one moment that stood out to me (specifically in the part that's unlocked after beating the main story in Northern Elsweyr), but otherwise I was mildly frustrated by some design choices. Including the forced mechanics on the boss fights. That was something that irritated me with Northern Elsweyr itself and it continues here.
For the most part, I also felt the zone quests were unremarkable. There's only one that stood out to me as being any good and that was the one in Black Heights. That's one I'll probably play through again on a different character.
So... Yeah. Overall, pretty meh. I've got everything unlocked for collectibles, so now I just have to upgrade the Dragonguard base. Not sure if I'll actually bother since I have the crafting area unlocked.
