Palace of the Dead (PAX)

I'm honestly being VERY and EXTREMLY skeptical of this new content. The big promising content in the past were always announced as something neat and awesome. But in reality it ended being something simple and brainless.

Alliance raid: You'll all enter these large places where everyone will have to work together to clear it.
Me: Oh sweet, this is going to be awesome. A giant dungeon to run and explore with an alliance! What is that? Crystal tower?! Oh damn, can't wait to climb that tower
Reality: *throws in dungeon timer* Follow path A -> Fight trash in specified closed space -> Keep following Path -> Fight boss -> zone in to the next place....rinse and repeat


Diadem: We'll let you venture the open sky of heavensward on airships. Landing on random generated islands where you can do whatever you want! And find all kinds of hidden treasure and difficult NM's!
Me: Oh sweet! I can see it already, flying around with my FC/party members on our special crafted airship. Floating around in the sky like ffxi airship travel. Running and goofing around on the ship itself. Until we find some islands to explore with god knows what on it! Adventure! Ahoi!!!
Reality: *throws in instance timer* Instanced zone with always the exact same layout. Enjoy your 5 seconds cutscene where you simply are able to stare at said airship. Run around like zombies, killing stuff for said chests to pop. What was that? Adventure? Exploring? Chilling with friends? Hah! Good one, now go farm stuff in a brainless manner like you're always used too.


Yes, I'm still somewhat bitter about that. And I honestly hope, like REALLY hope that I'm so wrong on this new promised content. Because I wouldn't end up being surprised that this promised randomness will be very limited.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Hope I'm very wrong about what I feel it will be, but three years of the same content doesn't speak very well about their job. I'd rather stay negative about the whole thing and be surprised than be positive and hyped and be let down. Again.

You're thinking just like me. I'm also staying negative on it as to not get dissapointed too much if it ends up being bad. And ending up being surprised if it turns out great.

Well. If you have promises in one hand and bullshit in the other. What are you really holding on to?

If the bullshit is better I'm leaning toward it at this point lol..though the promises are sometimes bullshit too.....I'm confused!!!. Idk. I can see the ilvl cap thing happening. I hope it actually feels like a fricken dungeon and not a stroll down a hallway.
