So I watched some vids on youtube and game seems a lot better than the current version?
Is it like a test server with high rates?
Just interested to know and thanks.

What I've heard it's 2.0. Basically it has more crap but they're keeping the current version running too.

It's a different server with some different game play. Like combo system. Shows damage. You can jump. Has some different skills.
I don't know all the details of it, but there's some for you. ^_^

From what I heard, they also made the game extremely easy to play...

faster attacks, jumps, more flashy stuff, combo counter for those who wanna see how big of a combo they can rack up, etc. But the AI is dumbed down so much more than tradational.
I have yet to find a stage that is challenging.. Blood Prince is still somewhat fun to fight against. I think the hardest boss would be the slime mini-boss... you can't easily predict if its a smash or a hit coming =P
Would love to see a boss that has more moves that can switch animations half way to throw you off =P

The bosses are ridiculously easy in XE, bosses attacks look like they are in slow-mo, and they do useless animation after every attack so you have more chances of hitting them.
And a lot of bosses smashes were replaced by normal attacks, which means Fiona can get more counters.

Not to mention that you can avoid 90% of the attacks simply by jumping...

XE Servers were made just so you can make videos of yourself LOOK like you are pwning the original... Also XE is probably better for those who like to solo games.

Thanks for the inputs. But I mean the game does look more complete...
Its great showing the dmg. THe jump is fine from what I see characters arent doing huge leaps just normal jump attacks so makes sense.
Does it also have high rates? If the eng one is making one Im definitely gonna give it a try.
Why this XE even exist at all?
I wish they could somehow combine the 2...

The problem with the Xtreme Edition is the fact that they added in a new mechanic, but did not change any of the enemies' AIs to compensate for it. The problem with that is the fact that all the enemies basically still act as if you can only attack on the ground, so when you decide to jump into the air, you're suddenly out of their programmed capabilities. This in itself makes the game easy already. To make things worse, they added in this combo system that lets you string together infinite combos, which do more and more damage as the combo gauge reaches a higher number. As a result, the enemies die even faster. All this amounts to is a really easy, ultra boring game that requires no strategy whatsoever.
One way to think of this would be like... playing a Devil May Cry game on the easiest possible difficulty ~_~ Which, I'll have to say, takes the fun out of the game.

I'd play it just if I ran out of tokens on both of my main characters and eventually my third.
And the Stamina costs are wayyy lower on XE, since I saw a few videos of a person doing 360 for a good 20+ seconds.

Maybe XE didnt intent to be a "easy mode". It could be good if the AI compensate with it though
If anything its great that you guys get to try it..

You want XE? Play God of War on Very Very Easy Mode and you got it.
