This week has become the first week since Beta that I really just have run out of things I am interested to do. Not too bad considering the amount of time the content has lasted me.
The problem I have run into is the only content that pushes me to play well has a lock out on it and I can't help others in it. This week was the second time I beat Twintania and after she was downed I was left asking myself what to do in game now?
I enjoy leveling battle classes and so I have already leveled them all. I hate crafting and so I could force myself to do it but why would I do that if I do not like it. I leveled Miner but I found myself falling asleep over and over leaving me to believe gathering just isn't my thing in this game.
I often ask my FC if they need help with anything and volunteer for that but find I am not needed much of the time. I wish I could help people in need of a coil group because it would be fun and truly helpful, but I can't even enter the area.
The things I can do or help with are no longer a challenge. There is nothing in the open world to make me feel a sense of danger or adventure, leaving me parked at a crystal semi AFK until I see somebody asking for help. There are no instances left that make me try outside of coil. My main and secondary job out gear the things with no lock out to the point I can do dumb stuff that I shouldn't be able to but it does not matter because my gear makes it ok. Joining shouts to help people with relics or dungeons is just repetitive but I still do it to do something, anything. Even if they have no clue what is going on, it doesn’t make the content hard it is just makes it slower. Because I can’t help on harder content that I would really make a difference in for people I don’t get that warm feeling of I am glad I helped. I can carry groups in most non-lock out content enough to trivializing the content for them which makes it feel empty. I am not saying this to brag or complain. I am saying this because while I am not the kind of person to say there is nothing to do. The place I would really be helpful I cannot help and the rest of the game is just silly easy to the point I don’t have to think. Thinking being what makes things fun for me.
I Hope in patches to come we will start seeing content where helping people actually means something other than you just filled a slot so they could do a run. I want to be able to help people who actually need help to get through the content like coil.
I hope we are past the tutorial phase of the game and now challenge and danger are the new goal. I enjoy the game and the people I meet but at the moment everything is just too temporary for the speed I am seeing content being added and I cant help were help is actually needed.
