Ugh, it's hard to say.
I love it but I hate it because they took out the minstrel's Piercing Cry scream sound. So now when I do Piercing Cry it's more like Piercing Sigh, which really disappoints me. I am petitioning for the renewal of our minstrel sounds. Also, the font sizes are totally jacked up. When I adjust the floaty names to the size I want, it makes the NPC speech bubbles pop up so big it nearly takes up the entire screen. I also think it's stupid that they turned Node Tracking off when you're mounted.
They conveniently left out all of this in the patch notes.
Other than all that, so far so good. The new area is just what I needed. And having rain is super cool.
