<p>This is just my humble opinion, but I feel that there are several things that SOE should do before they even start working on the next expansion.</p><p>1. Revamp the old world/dof.2. Revamp the visuals on spells/combat arts.</p><p>Number one is mainly in refernce to Everfrost and Lavastorm, two of the most barrens zones you will ever find. Both are seriously lacking easy to get, non-repeatable quests. This does not make sense as both have sort of base areas... EF has the docks/the area before where the behemoths are. Lavastorm has the shrine of thunder and the area right before the temple. Both of these zones need a complete rehauling as far as quests go so as to give people a reason to go there other than discovery/harvesting/hq's.</p><p>The quest series in the Enchanted lands seems rather... unfinished. We help raise funds for a museum and that's it... what about sending us out to help reclaim the enchanted lands... kill lamia, dryads and gobbies. There's so much untapped potential in this zone.</p><p>Zek, on the other hand is just about perfect, minus one thing. The random dungeons that pop up in various places are just...trash. Bad exp, and bad, if any loot.</p><p>DoF is just well... decent as far as quests go, but zones like the Cache and and the Sanctatorium are trash. The Cache has upwards of 6-7 nameds... and you'd be lucky to come out with a single legendary piece, let alone a master. The sanct is just as bad... lots of mobs to wade through with a good amount of nameds that drop trash treasured.</p><p>Now I move onto the combat art/spell animations... these are in utter need of a revamp... My pally is the perfect example of why they need it. At 41, all his melee attacks minus his aoe, kick and shield attack all use the same animation. (that's FOUR attacks using the same animation) My ranger has it really bad... every ranged art uses the same animation as my auto attack. Not to mention that three of his melee arts use the same animation.</p><p>Casting animations are worse, as there are what, three? The basic point, the flail around, and the dbz move. Most particle effects are heavily recyled... and ice comet is just pathetic. SNOWBALL OF DOOOOOOOM!</p><p>So please, fix these things before you go about and make a new expansion.</p>
