  Such a well written review ... I look forward to leveling up to Polaris and beyond. I had watched a youtube video of someone's graduation and it brought tears to my eyes. It is something every wizard wants to (but doesn't want to) do ... you said it best "bittersweet". I'm excited about the new deck method. I'm sure that will make battles flow better. Thank you for telling us about the new Wizard101 expansion and changes.

  Well done love it can't wait. But I have a wish that they would make a big common skating area, and skates to buy with Gold so everyone can get them. Would be great fun for everyone we could have contests races, dances oh and even ice fishing contests to, in the great outdoors, see you all in Polaris. Love Wizard101

  The deck change is a good one. Questing is too ho hum and very boring.It would feel a lot better if rewards were actually useful.

  Crafting needs an overhaul,too slow and for the most part useless.

  Last thing i noticed were the zones were far too congested with clutter sub zones.It got to the point that i couldn't tell where the heck i was or how to get back to another zone i needed.

  Player customization is long overdue for improvement,needs better/more models...races...better itemization etc etc.

  Also have the Wizards advanced to more starting pips yet to keep up with the games npc's?It was like our Wizards were de-advancing in the wrong direction as npc's were getting more pips while our Wizards remained stagnant.

  Could also use a better reward series like we had back in the Waterworks days,nothing has come close ever since.

  Game could also use some improvement with the pets,as is they are a non necessity and not reliable for combat.One improvement would be to have a definitive way to proc instead of a total random function.I did notice that seems certain weapon attacks can rng proc as well as AOE dmg but nothing ever looks beyond rng.

  Another needed improvement is pip usage.Was frustrating to use odd number spells and always have to use even number pips as likely every Wizard is attaining power pips every turn.

  VERY few ever have full 4 man groups,not a good option to be forced to use cash shop to fill your group with Henchmen.Yes they added a sort of group finder but was not that viable really.IMO Henchmen should be earned and time limited,not a cash shop option.I played both EQ2 and FFXI,we got Henchmen for free via various methods.

  Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

  no mention of the myth spell because of course once again myth is given useless spell functions like stun that nearly all bosses and npc resist. it would be nice if myth was given spells or skills that leveled the playing field. also when teamed (four players) a minion is useless as there is no spot for it (so minions aren't a help to myth in that way) plus every class has decent minions.

  a good skill for wizards would be dodge. other than the lameness foisted upon myth wizards, I cant wait for Polaris.

  Thank you for all the feedback, guys! I'm glad you enjoyed. I really liked questing through Polaris and I'm excited for it to go live!

  that how myth is play and don't like there minion summon then don't play as a myth wizard and ice wizard mostly everything on tank (mostly heath & resist) not every tank wizard use more resist and heath (tank also high damage because belong in the heavy class) so, ice more offense they same as storm but weaker damage except there spell because spell more heavier (not strong) "HEAVIER" means spell hit harder then storm because storm more risk then ice!

  Well Justin Zimmer - I'm afraid I don't agree with you, if I do understand you. There is not much I would want to change about any of the classes. They all pretty much equal out. Because of Ice wizards high resist they are good to be the first in battle. No need for them to tank. Plus they come though in a pinch if the tank is having a bit of trouble for some reason. Ice has some good tricks up their sleeves, not to mentioned they can keep everyone shielded. Ice plays a very important role the way it is.

  Wiz 101 is a fun game but the f2p model is brutal....Its really aggrevating getting quests then running to the area and having it say restricted to paying customers only......
