why was hildebrand so short this patch and when is the next one

[Odett]

Professional endgamers must really be fun at parties. Anything that only 10% of the online population can enjoy is considered real content to these jokers.

Do you take every chance you get to insult people who raid, to the point where you have to reach so far and somehow think that the person you quoted represents the raiding community? Why are you so bitter all the time? Did someone hurt you? Would you like a hug?

[Dualblade]

One thing I'd like to point out is the one arguing the most against additional dev time to Hildebrand isn't saying it should go to Raids (though it seems to be one they would enjoy) but to other content with better replayability.

Which is a worthwhile argument, but there is also a good bit of the story, MSQ, class quest, and others, with content that isn't replayable that players also quite enjoy. Certain cases have us wanting to atleast have it show up in some form to do again (Case in point, the Grand Melee that we just got.)

Do I sense a thread in which hardcore raiders are whining that the game isn't all about them again? Huzzah

This thread started because someone wanted MORE Hildebrand and not whining for less/completely cut, and many people commenting support more Hildebrand. The one person "whining" on the other side doesn't even mention raiding much.

I think Hildibrand tried so hard to be funny but he's not funny at all.

The content based around him is also worthless and pointless.

I hope he'll never comeback, unless he's gonna get killed in the last episode of his boring saga.

I would prefer dev. time on something that has REPLAY VALUE, not something than u can skip through in 5mins and NEVER do it again..

You mean like Alexander Gordias/Midas, where the duty can last 5 minutes or less but the only reason they have replay value is because of the bolts and gears you get from them for current non-savage equipment?

Yeah, right.

Yes. Reward is everything these days. If it doesn't have any then why even bother? Midas is relevant content for progression, re-playable and also a very fun tier, so this is actually worthwhile content than Hildebrand which you can't do again unless you do it with an alt.

I doubt a lot of people actually bothered with Hildebrand after getting the rewards like the Manderville Dance or the Gentleman Pose, or bothered with it in the beginning at all.

I'll be fair and say I found his antics amusing in 2.1 and somewhat in 2.2. 2.3 and onwards, however... ergh. When I can see the joke before it's told and when it's repeated three or so times, it's not funny or even amusing.

It's kinda why I wanted him to be a one off thing or something once in a while Hildibrand is a bit of a one trick pony with his humor.

[ArturVernon]

Hildebrand is the most boring content ever. It's just not funny, it's trying so hard to be slapstick and falling into the realms of cringe.

I really hope it will stop or atleast not attach trials to it so it is completely optional. Then Square will how small an amount of people actually enjoy it and put their efforts elsewhere into relevant content

[TheGrimace]

Haters gon' hate. Hildibrand is still gonna be the coolest investigator around, and I'm still gonna enjoy every single bit of content that gets added to his repertoire.

Every.
Single.
Bit.

This is how I feel as well. The problem is that there's a lot of vocal players who claim that it's the best thing ever...and that everything else is 'boring' by comparison. I'm a bigger fan of subtle humour, personally. I don't mind slapstick from time to time but it rapidly becomes obnoxious when it's put forward again and again. I'm also rather troubled by the recent quests involving major lore characters. Keeping Hildibrand as it's own separate bubble is the most efficient path, in my opinion. Letting him affect MSQ material is...dubious and a slippery slope. I left WoW because of how common 'silly' quests became despite them once being subtle and tasteful.
