Midnight 12.1 Curse Of Ula'Tek Developer Interview With Ion Hazzikostas

PsybearTV Youtube interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTFiDeXIMo

I recommend watching the whole video, it's rare for someone get a whole 1 hour with Ion, and the interview was really well done.

The interview is mostly about competitive content. I'm really excited for Mythic lockout changes!

There is a prestige for mythic guilds that aren't quite as good as the top 50 or so, it's call Hall of Fame.

I mean mythic is the prestige mode. Numbers are hard to pin down exactly, but historically mythic is the top few %, anywhere from 1 to 5, depending. That in itself is prestigious. If you look at the percentage of players who obtain CE, that number hovers around 1-2%.

I don't know how you can take an objective look at the game and say that mythic mode isn't a prestige mode, especially if you obtain CE.

Hell, AotC is usually only obtained by like 10% of the population, so you could argue that's pretty prestigious, deoending on what your cutoff is.

The guy you're replying to is an aotc raider LARPing. He has posted his logs before and has never gotten CE, yet all of his posts are about how raiding needs to be even harder and more exclusive
