- Include Ascians and spam Emetts music at you and flashbacks for nostalgia brownies, maybe flashback to Emett or Venat's face to really drive it in.

I ADORE the Ancients and the Ascians and even I would be pissed if they pulled some crap like that. It would be rubbing salt in the wound at this point.

I don't know what you could do to fix the story except kill those two clowns. Their personality is set in stone by now and they are so bad I don't even want to see them grow out of it. Koana should've gotten killed by the dinosaur and the resurrected Sphene should have appeared to Wuk Lamat at night and stabbed her. THAT would have given me hope.

But it's not going to happen. We are talking about a world where a child, Alphinaud, has a disproportionate global influence because he uses you as his weapon. This is akin to Greta Thunberg having real policy-writing power across all G7 nations instead of being a poster child for climate change.

There is no hope. Gameplay on the other hand, maybe.

On the surface, no... but........... did we find out what happened to all of them and what their mission was?

now an honest question have you been paying attention to the story overall at all and how they operated? Did you even remember how Hades masterminded everything?

Valid for @HyperiusUltima as well. So short sighted..

Technically 7.5 is the last patch to save Dawntrail. As that is for when you will have the people who weren't sticking around for most of the expansion potentially coming back and doing content. As at least for those players who only played 7.0, they have five whole large patches of content worth of stuff saved up by comparison.

i SWEAR if the Sol 9 Alexandrians get mind controlled and then find out and are like "Hey... The rulers changed our memories to be subservient! :V" and they rise up and ditch their regulators JUST LIKE THAT......I dunno if i'd be able to get behind any story after that lol

Following corporate interests is his job. That's the very nature of it. Corporate interests is to make a lot of money. Find that balance between high quality content and ways to keep the player subscribed. Sometimes corporate interests and player satisfaction line up. If it were to lower profits to give us a better experience, they'll go with higher profits every time. He's a businessman first.

I've been fine with the story myself. But people are, of course, entitled to their opinions as well. My large FC seems more active now (mid major patch cycle) than I think we were in the 7.1-7.2 timeframe for EW. That's not to say that's how everyone else sees it.

for me, yes. Its the last straw before i give up for good with this Xpac. with MHW on the horizon and something resembling fun gameplay. and with Dt continue to set fire to the lorebooks and make a fool of everything i loved about my WOL.. i cannot endure it anymore. I have made an agreement with my boyfriend that if 7.2 does not deliver a good msq i will stop playing until the very tail end of 7.55 when i will have 2 years of content to do.

Please.. SE.. i don't want to do this.

I wonder if the devs will try to expedite the release of the next grind zone or beastmaster to try to salvage customer interest.

Yeah, I'm waiting out 7.2 as well. My subscription is set to expire in April. I expect to let it unless 7.2 offers me content I'm satisfied in. I haven't unsubbed since the gap between 1.23 and 2.0 but I'm not having fun anymore. The deficit of content is apparent. I'm not gonna continue paying them more money for less to do, Legacy account be damned.

We probably still have two more months until 7.2, huh? That's wild. How's anyone okay with this patch structure?
