Welcome to the Wizard101 Message Boards

I want to start off by saying that I feel this update was pretty great. Might be an unpopular opinion but this is exactly what everybody was asking for (graphics updates, shadow spells nerfed). I only have one concern. I was watching a livestream a while back and heard them say something like "we try to keep PvP as close to PvE as possible" and I remember thinking that that isn't a little true. For example criticals, a fundamental aspect of hitting. Different from PvP to PvE. Why? I mean I get the initial reasoning but why keep it 2X for PvE? That's not necessary and while I don't care too much I just feel that it should be dropped for the sake of keeping things even throughout. If it is really necessary to have 2X on criticals to progress that must be a balancing issue throughout because at certain levels there's no chance to critical to begin with. Simply lower bosses outgoing damage because that's what makes them so hard to beat. Other things too, like banning spells from PvP. Just take them out of the game. Every spell banned from PvP is totally unecesary and rarely used in PvE. Now with this update the one concern I have is how are people supposed to progress? My brother literally just deleted his death wizard instantly that he has been working on non stop. A challenge is good but this is going to get ridiculous. I think this ties in with the critical system. Lower bosses outgoing. Any other thoughts? Or valid reasoning to why these things are in place?
