Now that we have Beta tested Winter Trees here what needs to happen to make it a real zone:

1. Cool down on Blue to Black Trees should be 30 secs for every single tree. So each Tree is it's own grind spot & you don't have to waste your buffs riding around doing nothing trying to find the 1 or 2 trees in the entire zone ready to use.

2. The value of the trash loot needs doubled. Yes doubled.

3. The DP on all the mobs needs reduced by 20% on both easy & hard. (I'm 298 AP this zone is NOT 280 AP & 250AP.)

4. The damage to players when the Pig Explodes needs cut in half.

Do these 4 things and this zone will be very popular even after people have their Flames. It won't be over powered with Trash. Red Orcs will still be much better. But it will make it a fun time sink with silver on par with valencia. With the Flame being the Treasure instead of Map & Compass. As it stands right now this the worst 250+ AP zone in the game. Please take it out of Beta and bring it to a real Zone with these changes.

Sidebar:

The reason why you get such bad feedback from Global Labs is because you are listening to players with Maxed Out Gear eveything so they aren't providing you with a shred of useful feedback. Just an FYI.

Its why you pre-nerfed Drakania into the ground and why all the new Zones are bassically 300+ Ap zones.

Yes everything is easy with 310+AP and Full PENC20 Armor. How is that usefull feedback? Seriously, I want the answer. If I enable God Mode in a video game I can't complain about it being easy. You should nerf Global Labs if you want useful feedback.

An accurate Playtest for Winter Trees on Easy would be the following parameters:

1. Drakiana

2. Level 61

3. Full Pen Tuvala

4. Cron Meal, Priest Buffs, Tarchros Cytsal

5. No Bonus Log AP or DP

6. No Tent Buff

Then you run the test and make sure she can clear the 15 min event spawn.

Then you run the test for 1 hour.

After that you look at the total amount of Trash Loot.

A. What is the total loot.

B. What is the total value of that loot.

C. Does that amount at least match Sulfer Mines?

Adjust accordingly. Simple as. Your new Flagship Class with your extremely well marketed New Expansion should have been lined up perfectly for this on day one.

Feel free to reach out to me privately if you would like a USA based private contractor.

The following image is from Duodecil on global labs. 100% of the information provided to PA from Global Labs is useless for 99% of the players. This is why the entire new Region is unbalanced. Why the New Class scales terrible at endgame after the pre launch nerfs. You acted on bad information because the parameters you set for your playtesting were bad & unrealistic. Garbage In -> Garbage Out that's how playtesting works.
