Coming back after some more time to sit with the update and share even more of my own feedback!
I am LOVING my new lease on campaign. I'm hopeful we can get some of the lag and bugginess restored, but even doing the story lines multiple times so far I'm having such a wonderful time re-reading them, re-seeing all the art work, etc. It's also giving me a reason to move around different areas of campaign, which I didn't usually do before. It keeps things fresh and is giving me a better insight into each area as well as giving me a range of different rewards 🥰
I think it's an excellent idea to wipe the NG+ progress when new chapters release. It will get everyone back on the same starting page, which will inspire new friendly competition that otherwise may not be able to happen, and it will re-unlock the campaign quests for us after we inevitably hit some wall where the battles are just too difficult to keep progressing levels, even slowly!
I am a little bit worried, but not overly so, about the impacts of Campaign charges on Seasonal grinding. I am rarely running out of charges currently, though it happens occasionally and I know some others do more often, but I do more extensive grinding during Seasonal as I'm sure most do. I think if there was never any inconvenience of any kind, it wouldn't be a very effective change for accomplishing the goals it was implemented for, but there's definitely room for tweaking without nullifying the charges entirely. IMO, shortening the recharge timer would be fine but doesn't really incentivize any adjustments to gameplay or exploring the rest of the site, so I'm personally much more in favor of an option that restores charges based on other activities. For seasonal, we have a lot more activities available to us at once, so it would still be faster to recharge even if you don't leave the seasonal activities... but perhaps a small recharge speed boost in combination with some other restore feature?
Those are my personal thoughts at least, but excited to see how you synthesize your future plans for the site with the feedback on the latest update to keep things rolling as we go forward! 💖
