v.171 – Masteria Through Time Update Preview

I was so looking forward to the Masteria update before this reveal that it's a blockbuster. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoy doing blockbusters, it works well as narrative content, I guess, but they're generally isolated from the rest of the game, like with Black Heaven and Heroes of Maple, it's through some NPC/Portal in the conference hall, and you can't experience it with other people. It's not bad, it's just not the direction I was hoping they'd go with for Masteria, I just want good, old fashioned quests and new areas to explore. It's true that this doesn't necessarily mean we won't get that, but we probably aren't going to. Judging from the other blockbusters, we'll get little more than a new area that serves as little more than a training ground and a new boss.

It might be better than I expected, but for now, I'm rather disappointed with how things are turning out with Masteria.

This image looks familiar. Anyone remember where it's from?

It's in the Jett tutorial, but I don't think that's where I know it from.
