I am really impressed with this release. The Ritki and Vanguard look snappin' and the zone is a blast. I find the new content quite compelling and dig the new pet team ups. Makes soloing with my Def a little more interesting.
The new maps are quite refreshing and are packed with great design work. Good to see some freshness there.
I've only been in one bombing/invasion run - was a blast. Overall GREAT work!! Have to say that post-issue bugs are at a bare minimum this time. Havent been able to do a Pylon?mothership raid yet as I am waiting for the numbers/lag to die down so I can actually be team-effective sans the lag.
Other than echoing the lag issues (which i have gotten used to post release) and the admin messages that desperately need tweaking, I have to say the amount of merits dropped vs the price of the items is not the best trade off.
