Free item creation and respec Skills and Points at any time by a simple cube recipe. There was even a Dupe-recipe for SP a few patches earlier on the Cubelist stating "This is an online game and people have no morals" - GOD I loved this black humor! Also the Mod features didn't hold back to troll/challenge it's Players from the Start (Volrath the Vile,Witches, etc.) and in response to this nasty crap you waste some time to think of making another OP build to hunt down those monster mobs. Hell, I EVEN hat no problem using Teleport and Identifiy scrolls again and revealed every f****** map. Great time!
True tbh. When I think about the times I remember having the most fun I think about XIV-XV chaos season...
Something I also really miss is the SPEED. Run speed. When Ring of Disengagement was low key the best ring lol.
Kinda get why everything was adjusted over the years, but it was still more fun with broken stuff everywhere.
Also no annoying fetchquests in a2/a3 was nice.
Of course a lot of stuff in Sigma is good (Yshari boss split is good, QoL is good, 4 tier > 6 imo, new content, new skills, 1 hand casters more viable now etc etc) but there was something really nice about that time compared to nowadays. Community was more dynamic too, but I don't follow discord so I may be wrong about that one.
Maybe it's just nostalgia and I have gotten old.
