i thought heavensward was about to try out something new?

i'm not sure where i read that Yoshi mentioned they are gonna try out something brand new in 3.0. The game looks amazing and all, flying is really nice but....
the meal is missing spicing a lot and its missing the "something new"

I'm already in the daily grind/hunt + seal farm mode on one character.
Usually i like to lvl other jobs but it's exactly the same as 2.0, there is absolutely no difference at all. Progression is the same. Mechanics are the same, the "new jobs" are not as unique as i thought they would be.
The new dungeons : go through a narrow path, have exactly zero choices and kill boss.
Also like 2.0. The story really was good but the rest of the game doesn't offer anything but boring repitition. (and the fact that 2.0 fates let you lvl faster then the one in new areas also is totally idiotic).

give it time. the new raids aren't here yet. plenty of time to learn and master the new skills and jobs.

Wait we already had a gun class, an healer using cards, and one handed sword tank in 2.0?

Sorry I had to say something like this.. Not everything is even out yet, give it time..

well i am gonna give it time ofc. Still im baffled about
1) how hunts are yet again one of the main ways to get/upgrade gear - ppl always did them but hardly anyone really liked them
2) that all the amazing new open world isnt used for anything else but fates and hunts.
3) there is still no big incentive to do anything with friends (unless you want a smooth dungeon run lol) but basicly everything is duable solo or with PUGS.
i was hoping for more things to bond the community or ARR. Not come and go "please inv" Hunts content.

Before hunts came out, I thought it was going to be like Gorgimera able to roam about the map destroying anyone without enough friends to help them.....that would have been awesome.

I completely agree with everything op said except that 2.0 had a good story.

I'm having fun right now because everything is new, but it's only new, not different. Alexander sounds like it'll be bahamut coils with a different name, chances are good the new 24 man will be a CT clone, and that the new relic weapon quest line will follow the same formula as Zodiac. I do have a little hope though because the expansion just released that something different will be released in the near future.

Remember that they are planning another content that might be an alternative to dungeons, they want dungeons to remain the same for casual players but want to add something where you will feel lost. No words on what it is though.

ops lol , i actualyl didnt wanna say that the story in 2.0 was good, my bad, it wasnt, 3.0 was far better. The formating was bad. the also like 2.0 refered to the dungeons.

well that sounds interesting, i didnt read that yet. Let's hope :)

Hunts are terrible and shouldn't even be a thing, aside for vanity gear or something.
