Summary0007317: Reintroduce region tiers
DescriptionThere's been some discussion on the fora the last few days about reintroducing region tier, so that instead of all regions' difficulty scaling with CP the continent would start out containing regions of tiers one-five and they would remain stable over time.

It seems like, now that tiers don't have an infinite progression, regions tiers wouldn't interfere with the huge improvements to the feel of the game that have come since they were removed, but they could bring back some more of the feeling of gradually expanding into a dangerous world that the game had back in pre-continent days. It might also help to deal with the treadmill sensation that some players have complained of recently.

Anyway there was a fair bit of argument and discussion about this idea in the thread, most of it not mine, so I link to the thread here: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,10414.15.html

Tegga originally suggested the idea, but most of the discussion starts on page two of the thread.

I hereby state my desire to see this happen.

I also have a really good feeling about combining the wind mechanic with the tier of an area. It seems like a natural fit. Wind is a very dynamic element, and doesn't feel weird to have it change for whatever reason.

This, mixed with the migration concept, would be an organic way of explaining why the monsters "tier up" when you raise the CP.

It's not that everything got stronger, it's that the strong things moved closer.
