Are the Marleybone dungeons difficult or different?

Ahoy Pirates,

I've noticed something on the message boards not long ago that the dungeons in Marleybone ruined the game. I don't think so at all. It's difficult but its still in the test realm and Kingsisle has plenty of time to change anything they want. This is why they have a test realm for Pirate101 and Wizard101, so players can test the game out for any bugs and ask for suggestions. The title of this post is asking you, are the dungeons difficult or different? Well I will answer and say both. The dungeons are difficult because they take a lengthy amount of time to complete. I'm a Witchdoctor so I don't think the enemies in the dungeons are hard to fight. The dungeons in Marleybone are different, as a wizard I'm not used to these dungeons, there were quite a lot of them when trying to enter Marleybone and finally making it. I don't think anyone should quit because something in the test realm (that's been out a few days), is difficult though. You have to wait, as Kindly Katherine said in a response I've read on this message board post, Kingsisle has listened to the players.

 

I've been leveling through the dungeons in Marleybone, like one of the dungeons as pictured above, I had to fight at least 50 Armada Troops/Battle Angels all the way through the last dungeon. One time I died and I had to fight Bishop again and go through the dungeon again because I was too late (was caught in a battle), the next time I had to fight Bishop again and died and I had to go back to the dungeon and I'm glad I made it in time, I finally defeat him the second time. These dungeons take a very long time to complete, I will not lie. I believe in Kingsisle though, they always listen to their players and fix anything that needs to be fixed. They are the best game team I know and I know they will fix this. I am not complaining at all though because I know they will fix this as soon as possible. Since there are players telling Kingsisle that there's something wrong with these dungeons, they will know. Pirate101's the best game I've ever played online and I know it has a bright future ahead. Don't worry so much :) I'm not done with this post just yet... Look below to see what I think they should and shouldn't change about the Mooshu and Marleybone dungeons.

Change:

• Difficulty- I don't know if this dungeon is hard or not, I believe witchdoctors are very strong like storm wizards, but what I've been hearing from the community, maybe you should change the difficulty by now allowing so many Armada Troops & Battle Angels into combat. I noticed that there are a lot of enemies that appear during combat and that could make it difficult for Pirates. 
• Time- These dungeons took forever to complete, I was in for about 4-5 hours trying to complete all of the dungeons so I wouldn't have to later. That is a very long time for dungeons one after another. I do believe you should have dungeons though since it is Marleybone. If you're a wizard you should remember that Marleybone on Wizard101 had quite a few dungeons.. One you were caught in... 

Keep:

• Detail- I love ALL of the detail about Marleybone, I love the quest-line, music, everything. I admit I even love part of the dungeons because parts of it is very interesting and funny! Please keep the detail of the dungeons and Marleybone. 
• Bishop- Even though I don't like that I had to defeat him four times when I could have only defeated him two times, I really do think Bishop makes a great addition to the dungeons. I believe it's going to prepare us for the harder bosses during the end of Marleybone and throughout Aquila!

If you stayed this long, you love reading. I really do thank you all for staying and reading! I don't want to see any of ye quitting the game. It's a great game and the creators of the game are great. Like I said many times during this post, they always listen to their players and that's why they are in my words, the best and my favorite game team! I hope you give them time to work this situation out. Well I'm going to end the post now.. thanks again for reading and I hope you're not to tired from reading. :D Until next time, See ye around the Spiral.

Idea Post: Level 100 Gear!

Hello Wizards!

Don't worry this post won't be rant, more like an idea. Every world you level through, you see the difficulty level also rising. For the past few years I was thinking that the new spells Wizard101 was adding for each new world update was too weak for the next world. I found out today that what I thought before wasn't true at all. Its the gear.. I wear level 58-68 level gear and my fire wizard is Level 83. Here's another warning, this isn't a rant.. Usually at the end of each world, we could farm for a great piece of gear, even in Waterworks at the time you could get pretty nice gear. As time moves on you need new gear to prepare yourself for the next new world. Imagine wearing wizard city gear in Dragonspyre. That's exactly how I feel about wearing Celestia gear in Azteca. There's new gear but only for wizards who buy a lot of crowns or those who like crafting. I haven't seen one nice gear for everyone since Celestia and the Waterworks. Please, for the next new world add gear that everyone can farm for, it would be a lot of fun to farm again for nice gear. Now, here's my idea for Wizard101, I'm not going to make a gear for every single school that would take forever!

Level 100 Gear

• My Gear Idea- After leveling through the world to gear your pets, spells or whatever Wizard101's going to release next. It would be nice to have one last boss, lets say Morganthe, you have to defeat her before she does something that will destroy the entire spiral. After defeating her you can only receive one peace of gear from her (A robe for your school- it drops so you have to be lucky). You'll have to find the other gear throughout the new world by farming different bosses. After you collect all of your gear, you'll find out it looks kind of like Merle Ambrose's gear! Moon and Stars all over the gear, you can also dye your gear. This gear will be good enough for all of the schools throughout  the next major world release and maybe the one after that! Of course girls get a different set of gear and will be made just for them. The gear won't be exactly like Merle Ambrose's gear, but it'll be just as awesome! We're not headmaster yet, we still have a very long time to go if we do make headmaster!

I've been wanting the headmaster gear for a very long time, since Merle is our headmaster, in my idea we will not get a crystal ball or his staff, we will only get gear similar to his. This is only an idea from myself it will not happen. I hope KI is reading this post though, I would still love new gear that will help us through each new world. Even if it's just once every 20 levels, that would still be nice! If you want Kingsisle to release worlds very fast, you need to ask yourself this, Am I focusing on the world release, or the world itself? I am focusing on the world itself, you should tell by this post and many other posts I've made about World Release. I'm noticing Kingsisle hasn't released a test realm in the Wizard101 Test yet, they are listening :) Thank you Kingsisle, I love all of the detail in a world (like the ones you released on Pirate101), please keep doing this! Okay I'm done, I'm pretty sure most of you are tired from reading, if you made it this far, Thank you for reading. :)
