I thought the patch contained a nice mix of levels to appeal to. Time Temple for the higher levels, Elin Forest for the middle levels, and Agent Quests for the low & mid leveled.
Personally I think the quests to access the next map in Time Temple are great. There has always been a lot of drama about people useing hs mules or hb mules etc, and in Time Temple you just can't (unless they are high enough lvl to do the quest in which case they are leaching mules and that makes everything more diffucult.) Also this will assist that less people will be hacking at pink bean. Ture a hacker could go through and hack 999 of every monster to do the quests, but it would take him awhile and there's a good change they would be caught before they made it to pink bean.
I haven't tried Elin Forest so I don't have any comments there.
The agent quests have their good and bad points. Frequently Agents don't tell you were to go exactly or what to expect your drop from so I'm often pretty unsure what to expect since it's not like the Agents have been here in the past so we could observe their location. Sometimes they tell you to go get an item from pq, but then apparently you can't get the item from all pqs so they mean specific ones but don't say so.
Personally I'm not particularly excited about speding say 5 hours to obtain an untradable item that expires. And I'm not any more excited to spend 50 hours to obtain an untradable item that doesn't expire. The stuff does have good stats for those who never scroll their equips, but for those of us who have scrolled equipment these quests just spend a lot of time to obtain something that will be impossible to scroll well enough to match your current equipments anyway (and they take long enough to obain perminant ones that you can't obtain enough of them to ensure a scrolling success). I think it's nice the ear pieces are tradable and I think the rest of the stuff should be tradable also. This assists the poor class by giving them something to sell and it assists the rich class by offering them the opertunity to purchase and scroll items to potentially make a good item.
I have found that on a low level character some of the Agent quests give pretty good experience, so that is a nice point about them.
And naturally I find your 2x schedule very appealing. It's nice that it's spread throught out the day so everyone can have a chance at it.
I liked the rest of the medals being added. It would be even nicer if the quests all worked (like Veteran Hunter and Veteran Explorer).
