Why You Love Island Sanctuary - Anti-Anxiety Joy

It's something to do during downtime.

Collecting the rare animals is fun.

I've been playing since beta. I've done Savage, EX, Unreal, POTD, HoH, crafted, mained 5 jobs, played the world over. Anti-IS folk will call lovers of the game nothing more than filthy casuals, but we're not.

Island Sanctuary calms me down so much.

I've never felt so calm and relaxed and had so much fun just talking with my FC mates while I slowly build up resources and take in how beautiful the scenery is without any aggro.

It's been so wonderful to have spent this last week playing it and I just feel so refocused and energized when I leave the game. I'm so thrilled that this exists.

the literal objective of this thread is to hear from people who like the Island Sanctuary and yet i'm a "snowflake" for calling someone out who can't help but push their negative opinion when no one asked for it? yeah okay.

Freedom of speech, just like some people on the negative threads say they like IS. /shrug

I unlocked it a couple of days ago and have enjoyed it. Collected some rares and built some buildings so far. I also picked out some minions that fit the scenery, like a Clockwork Barrow in the garden and a campfire on the beach.

If you like how relaxing it is, I just don't see much difference between this and going to gather any other items.

I like having minions derping around and snatching up animals. The rest of it is kinda already in the game, except better.

Lmfaoooo.

i love how "FrEeDoM oF sPeEcH" is the first thing you claim to justify being an absolute knob because you can't handle sitting quietly and not interjecting your opinion when it was unwanted and offered nothing of value to the conversation.

A bit of pedantry here but in most nations freedom of speech is protection from governmental censorship. This is a corporate owned and regulated forum and as such there is no freedom of speech whatsoever beyond what SE allows and enforces. SE can and does censor (moderate) the content as in some cases they have a legal responsibility to do so. In the US they are protected under Title 47 section 230 of US Communications Decency Act but in other nations there may not be such legislation and as such are potentially liable for all our sh!tposting.

Island Sanctuary really helps me relax and chill before and after raid. So peaceful there, you don't feel rushed, and you can just take it easy.

No army of bots clipping through the scenery.

There's about a hundred other gathering nodes that fit this requirement. Go check out mithril sand. Peaceful as could be. In fact if you just avoid the endgame legendary nodes you're all set. I'd argue it's even more relaxing because you don't have to run around as much.
