Review of 6.3 Story Content

I dont know. Maybe im still upset that I didn't enjoy 6.0. We went from shadowbringers to this expansion and im still wondering if the bar was set way too high. I will just wait and see what they decide to do with 7.0. Not to compare to wow but its a great example. The ending of the burning crusade was imprisoning sargeras and before he was imprisoned he stabbed azeroth. Blizzard left that sword there 3 expansions now without explaining the meaning of it or saying what its purpose is. I hope we don't get that same treatment with this expansions unanswered questions

I mean, you are correct in how MrHappy alone isn't a good argument. He's not just a youtuber doing things for views, it is in his best interest to not be critical as possible. Only when it's really necessary to offer feedback and ask for changes, and even then it's only until after it's blown up into a community-wide issue rather than something he comes up with himself. Most of his suggestions before PLD got reworked are specifically stuff I had seen in these forums before he ever made a video on them.

I think the key takeaway people get out of MrHappy's video is how he acknowledges the thread, acknowledges OP, and then he presents his stuff forward. It's not the first time a thread by Aveyond-Dreams is commented on by a notorious youtuber in the community; Zepla did so this last year. It's just that she didn't comment further on it, nor even comment on OP directly. So it's more so the acknowledging of who he was that piled on to what Happy had to say.

Now, my opinion as someone who does have gripes with SE and DOES get critical of the story, I think that while 6.3 is indeed on the weaker side, it's nowhere near the absolute calamity OP is making it to be. It's a quieter patch, there isn't much else to do other than establish Zero and give us some progression. Is she doing leaps and bounds through it? In my opinion, which does differ from what I've seen in other pages, is that it's not really "fast" so much as it's "the only thing going for us". She's the one that we focus on the most, and it took her 3 patches to finally start agreeing to do stuff without pay. Past that, she had always had an itch she didn't quite understand and now, with one memory back, she can start giving it shape.

In other patches I feel like we had more to do. Here, we're establishing Zero and we're establishing Golbez. I DOUBT Golbez is the major antagonist for the next expansion. We'll likely be done with him in 6.5. But there isn't much else, so naturally all the spotlight will be given to Zero and Golbez. And they will need to do stuff rather than be stagnant. We could afford a slower build in previous patches because there was a lot going on. But now, the only thing that we're focusing on is these two. Which is why it's quiet.

As for the characters themselves... eh? Call Zero cliché'd, it's Final Fantasy, that's par for the course. I've honestly seen worse. Call Golbez bland and a rip-off, we just haven't seen enough of him to fully pin down what he's meant to be or represent.

More so that his idea that "everyone hates the game" is him exaggerating. People are critical of the game. People definitely get angry at SE. But people aren't bulldozing this just because they have frustrations.

Is 6.3 a bit weaker and people are critical on it? Maybe. Does that mean it's hated or the worst they've sunk? Girl, we haven't gotten friggin' 3.5 Diadem Weapons, it ain't that bad xD

On the other hand, he does have frustrations, and if you dare go against his view of the game, he thinks you're problematic. When, really, he's the one with an inflexible view of what the game should be and what the franchise does.

It's been a pleasure to log in and see so many people everywhere, partyfinder active, short queues, etc.

Weird type of hate indeed.

Except its not even up for debate, OP feels very strongly that he could have written a better story with each new patch and won’t listen to anyone who does not agree with him or happens to /gasp……actually like parts of the story, so it’s not a discourse, he’s not looking for a conversation, he just wants to show how much “better” HE would have done things.

All in all, it’s narcissistic traits and careful trolling, seeing he also slightly pushes the limits of what can be said on the forum with many statements about female characters that you happen to find in memes online about “nice guys”.

He uses an auto text generator most likely or smoked the first herb he saw on his Island Sanctuary.

Yes he hates it. Not as much as the burger, but 100% feels the animation budget shouldn't have been used on that. And this is before we even get to see what the rest went to in Hildibrand as that's in 6.35. Or the weapon quest line continuation. Cause we do know Geralt looks to be body slamming some poor sod.
