As many people who've been around the game for a while have noticed, the Windhome patch brought a lot of great new content, but a lot of gameplay elements were 'left behind'. EME has shown willingness to fix this as exemplified by their daily dungeon updates - so there's a few more areas that could definitely be improved and brought back up to current content levels. Here's a few of the ones I think would be fairly easy to fix and would be welcomed by most players.

1) Add challenge letters and intrusions to the WH dungeons. These provide extra Challenge & Reward to people grinding the dungeons and I was surprised they were never implemented after skyship.
2) A new daily gem dungeon at level 70 zone -OR- implement the Step Difficulty system in the old ones to provide extra challenge / better loot. Another gameplay element seemingly forgotten after Highquarter - These are the main way to gem up your characters and its quite ridiculous that chars with millions of CR are in a level 55 zone with a CR require of 7500.
3) Gear crafting. Star Henge had the best crafting system where it took a fair bit of farming but you would eventually get was you needed. Xanadu crafting was tacked on as a bit of an afterthought and a bit too easy imo being just runes and gold. WH desperately needs this with how streaky drops can be and people hoarding and/or salvaging pieces for evo mats. It shouldn't be easy but it should smooth out the RNG element with there being so many possible pieces to drop with such rough rates.
4) Star Henge title group. These are a bit dated and farming these 120 times each in 'dead content' is a bit much. I'd say raise up the initial quest to like 25, eliminate the 100 quests, and add new 25 quests for the xanadu dungeons. The other option is to just eliminate these altogether and make a new batch for WH as the time didn't feel 'wasted' when we farmed these when Star Henge was endgame so maybe recreating that experience is best, doubly so since the game has become so alt heavy.
5) Charm drops. These are honestly an annoyance and seem to only drop in certain dungeons. Level 1 charms are completely useless after level 30. Combining them is pretty pointless at such low levels. These should just be removed from the later dungeons or have II - IV charms be decently dropable as the dungeon level increases. I believe I've had a rare charm drop in a normal dungeon before but that was a long time ago idk if it's still the case they drop and it seems extremely unlikely drop if it does.

Any others you guys can think of or have any thoughts?

Agreed. I don't like getting blasted by Adele after she's run 500 marathons across the universe, or getting firebombed at the speed of light by a snag on steroids.

It's not even challenging anymore, it's just downright annoying. You guys are making bosses move so damn fast they we barely have time to react to anything and to top it off you can get one shotted if you aren't geared enough to take the hit.

I understand you want our version to be harder than the KR version but this is getting a little too crazy. If you want to make challenging content that's fine, beef up their hp, make them hit harder, but atleast let us be able to react to it and not get duffed in the face within a milisecond of a crack speed boss.

I find it weird that ghost knight takes 1 RP per zone but the others take 3 RP per zone. it makes it hard to farm all the dungeons on one character without dipping into blue RP. Doing one of the new challenger zones 20 times is a whopping 120 RP, leaving us with 30 purple RP left to use. I appreciate the challenger zones having their own 20/20 limits and challenger passes be bought with ultimate souls/action zone coins so we can farm on our mains instead of alts but now RP is a limiting factor for the newer challenger zones.

If it's possible to maybe reduce the cost to 1 RP per zone like ghost knight challenger zone, or maybe let Jingo, the action zone NPC sell rest potions or in the EMP store that'd be great.

Fear on hat (+15 enhancement) disrupts EX moves

+15 enhancement effect for hat (fear) needs to be reworked or removed (fear is the issue here, not increased defense). Especially with the increased speed from the higher difficulties, if you use your EX gauge, the enemy will move at 1000 miles per hour in the opposite direction of you. This means that you can reset the enemy and cause them to do a different move than they were originally going to which can ruin your EX iframe ability and cause you to get hit. Any damaging EX you want to do will be unable to be executed as the enemy will often be too far from you and give you a DPS loss. Even in the case of you using an EX grouping skill, the effect is exactly the opposite as the enemies will have dispersed leaving your grouping skill less effective or having it pull nothing.

Enemies move too quickly at higher difficulties / Poor optimization compromises reaction time

Enemies that are scaled in higher difficulties have all of their stats pumped to the max. Some of these stats are movement speed and attack speed. We as players would like intense fights with a large emphasis on action and reactions but the current fights are hit and miss in this regard. The animations are sped up and this causes some moves from enemies to be almost instantaneous and feel cheap or unsatisfactory to the player. There are usually tells (voice lines, animations, visual effects, rotations/follow ups) that indicate what the enemy will be doing and in the case of Warehouse, most of these aren't prominent. The exception being the very last boss, Don Ruffa who is the most fun fight in the whole dungeon and who feels the most fair. His moves are telegraphed well and it feels rewarding to dodge his attacks and beat him. It's not that we don't like the difficulty of the dungeon it's that the way it is difficult feels cheap and unrewarding when accomplished.

We need a way to make things more difficult without making it impossible to react to. With the way the optimization is now it can eat inputs or make it impossible for you to see an incoming attack. Having a mach 5 jet come at you with a move that you can't possibly see or dodge just doesn't feel great. Emphasis on mechanics instead of high stat values should be encouraged moving forward to avoid this issue.

Lack of tools to keep enemy in AoE moves

A segway from the previous topic of fast moving enemies, certain classes are unable to keep enemies in their damage or in the area they want to do damage to. Some classes just don't have the proper tools to do this and some are inconsistent like Fire Lord's hot tub.

Elemancer versus Frost Mage is a great comparison. They both want to keep an enemy locked down in a specific area, but Frost Mage has a much better toolset for this task. You can freeze the enemy, jolt it, and body block with a 90% damage reduction skill. Elemancer can't bodyblock because they take too much damage, can't jolt the enemy, and can't freeze it in place. Some classes just have difficulty keeping the enemy in place or chasing after them.

As previously stated, the best fix would be to lower enemy damage output and place more emphasis on solid mechanics instead of fast moving enemies.

Bleed or % health damage

In the NA/EU version of Kritika, monsters have very high health pools and large amounts of armor at end game. This creates a situation where regular damage is not as valuable as damage that directly targets a percentage of the monsters total health. It makes fights very unintuitive as you would rather run around and use bleed on a monster instead of directly engaging with them using your damaging skills.

%HP procs are lazy balancing. It feels very bad to have a property on your weapon do a large portion of the monsters health. Enemies should be balanced in regards to damage you deal, not effects that happen as a whole, otherwise enemies just end up with inflated health values for no reason other than to accommodate the %hp procs in order to bring classes in line with each other. In addition to this, it makes the balance around all rogues off. The rogue base kit very strong as it provides you with two methods to bleed the enemy through Quick Jab and Shurikens.

Bleed should be an Assassin specific mechanic, which can be monitored more readily. This would allow the rogue classes to have proper balancing and not make them all much stronger in comparison to others and provide more variety across the classes. Bleeds should also be purged on enemies and it should be noticeable so that Assassins can't just %hp damage and bleed only on the enemy without having to use other skills.

Closing thoughts

As times have progressed we have seen very weak classes get better, which is a great thing. Wolf Guardian went from being one of the worst classes but after her rework, she is now one of the strongest, and has build flexibility, with choices in armor as well as imprints. Valkyrie also went from zero to hero with her rework, and Catspaw saw a noticeable improvement with her rework. This is to be expected as the game gets more advanced and we experience some class powercreep. The older classes need some love and attention in order to meet this same standard that the other classes are achieving. Skill values need to be increased and core mechanics need to be looked at to compensate for some classes. One trick ponies don't feel that fun, and more diversity or creativty should be encouraged. Percent health damage is a big problem that is influencing balance across classes, especially when you consider bleeds.

Some might ask why we should give classes, Doomblade for example, buffs that have been at the top of the meta for a long time and are finally settling down to a lower tier level. While I think that's a reasonable point, you also have to consider how much players invested into those characters and the evolution of content over time. It's not that Doomblade got any weaker it's that the way that content has changed means they can no longer adapt to the challenge in quite the same way. Similarly, there are other classes who are having difficulty adapting to these change in times and it's not that we specifically want to target Doomblade or any other class with these buffs but that players should be able to make intelligent and meaningful decisions to combat current content, not be out of luck because they made a bad choice on character select.

In closing, class balance is very important and needs to be constantly monitored and addressed. If there were no dungeon lockouts or limited entries, you could play with friends as much as you wanted and these balance issues wouldn't be so big of a deal because they could pull some weight if a class was bad. However, because we are restricted to x amount of runs per week in these difficult zones, we must prioritize those classes which can clear it more efficiently and with less effort. There is no encouragement to play a class because someone likes it, but as to how well it does these zones and trades with others each week because that saves the player time and effort. In addition, if a player were to find that they had invested heavily into Etherforce, Costumes, Untransferable Gear, Pet Gems, Emblems, Emblem Sets, Titles, and lots of resurrection stones, they would be unable to switch and adapt to a meta if their class does poorly in content. This ultimately leads to players who are playing low tier classes just quitting the game because the cost and time investment to reboot is too high and they feel it isn't worth it.

The weapon is in dire need of some buffs, i suggest at least adding the human&fey damage that the empress had on it aswell, as it stands it's weaker than Empress & Thermalar based on the situation or type of mob you're fighting.

A suggestion i have is adding the party prosperity drop rate potion to the king piglet pet, the item is great and it encourages and gives people incentive to farm together in a party i see no reason why it shouldn't be a regular feature in the game instead of having it pop up once on an event every now and then.
