You're on the JP data center, highly doubt it's dead there but you're probably not going in peak times, is my guess.Quote:

Of course bozja and eureka aren't as busy when they are current, they were your busy content at their expansions level cap not for EWs level cap. Now they are there for the glams and story, just like all old content.Quote:

I'm more mad about the relic designs themselves than it being tomes. The NIN and MNK weapons did a 180 on tone and now don't fit in my glams at all. I liked it better in ShB when the first glow step didn't compromise the base weapon.
EW is undoubtably having a content problem, although I think it is a little silly that people are already declaring it a dead patch when they haven't tried Eureka Orthos. It seems to have some new mechanics so at least try that first before saying there's a content drought.
"But I already know that I don't like deep dungeons" You do realize other people would have said the same things about Bozja/Eureka style content?
I do agree that Island sanctuary ultimately being a "copy the workshop schedule from discord" simulator sucks, although I do not think the content was a complete waste since getting my island fully developed was a relaxing little grind and the rewards have been good overall. -

I like deep dungeon and criterion (at least conceptually) but they just don't have the staying power of an exploratory foray like Eureka and Bozja. Criterion flopped because you don't really bother doing it past the first week of clears. Its a shame they can't do both.

03-08-2023, 03:02 AMAmarandeYeah, maybe publishers taking cues from mainstream social media at least is no longer the way to go, especially given the quality of interactions that tend to take place in Zuckerland, Twitter, and TikTok ... Do we really want that to be the defining point of 2020s society?Quote:

Agreed, especially now that FATEs have already been given so much importance in the last couple expansions (imagine the hell that ShB/EW crafting would be if the FATEs are all swarmed by relic grinders? Or being a new character and struggling to find even the 6 FATEs in a zone with enough left in them to get Gold for the riding maps, let alone the 60 more you need to Gold to unlock all the goodies? And IIRC, FATE based Relic steps have ALSO usually required you to get Gold to get credit, so people can't afford to go easy for each other, either!)Quote:

Look at Shadowbringer? first step was similar to what you did now with the current relic, so I don't get your point.
On top of that, you got the new Deep Dungeon as well as a new Beast tribe.... if neither of that content cater to you, then it is unfortunate for you, however all content is not just everyones cup of tea that is, and you got to respect it is not always me me me meee me me!! Kind of way. -
