Gates of Discord is refreshing in a lot of ways and has surely offered a bold answer to the question of whether there's room in the game design for challenge at the high end. The new leadership abilities are major features that add broad new dimensions to this already rich tapestry. The instanced zone concept has taken evolutionary steps here as well. The rich detail in the new zones, multitude of new monsters and challenges show that much effort went into Gates of Discord across the board. With such a large number of changes in one expansion, balance issues can turn up that may need to be tuned. The new difficulty and the single group focus of the instanced progression zones may put to the test the long-term player class equilibrium that has been so delicately tuned from expansion to expansion. For a guild to progress to Kod'Taz, for example, members must be flagged through single group expeditions in Vxed and Tipt. These zones really seem to require balanced groups that will put heavy demands on some classes like warriors while make other classes like mages, wizards and rogues in oversupply for the 'DPS' role. Hopefully this potential crimp on group makeup flexibility will not dominate the entire expansion. Being able to enjoy the game at a group level with unconventional group setups has been a great part of the game and we hope to see a place for that in this expansion as well in order to call it a truly great expansion. Will the deeper zones and raids address this? It can take many months for the mysteries of a new expansion to be discovered, but for the player who has played this game for a while, there's a palpable aura in the air -- the risk and challenge are back, the dangerous continent of Taelosia beckons. We are playing with an enthusiasm many of us haven't felt in a long, long time. Hats off.
