I dont think ishgard restoration was thought out very well...

[Paddycakes]

I'm coming into ishgard restoration two patches late at this point and i overall have no effect on what happens within the restoration. Its just turn in items that show no progress and it feels bad. Why isnt there a way for people to have their own set superficial progress on the restoration like building a statue?.

Some of the threads ive read are where many people are left out of the fates that want to participate in building the firmament but due to crowding or time issues they cant participate. Things like these special fates should happen with as much frequency as a boss fate, multiple times a day, to ensure others get to participate

Secondly why has the competitive crafting season been closed this long? There should always be a season running, make it like a season per month so people can atleast try their hand competitive crafting instead of just having some arbitrary time limit on content.

IMO, it should have been handled like Doma. And if indeed it eventually becomes a housing ward, I’d say it should be gated behind that progress (so didn’t bother with event, can’t buy a house).


But that is exactly why it is not personal like Doma: it absolutely is housing and per player progress would have locked people out of housing. Nobody is going to progress that story months later if there is no house to be had at the end.

No reason to have any competitions in crafting as long as the items are so easy to make that bots can just make them 24/7.

I’m expecting the next stage will be in 5.3 and the reason it’s kind of stalled right now is the unexpected delay of that patch throwing off the planned timeline.

Yeah I also vastly preferred Doma, but I can tell they tried something new to satisfy those competitive obsessed people, and they definitely did play it al lot. But I did the first round, like one hour of the second and quit. I wouldn't say it "wasn't implemented well", it just doesn't suit me as a player.

Is there any doubt it is becoming a housing ward?

Well that would be a big slap in the face to have it gated; so when you finish you find there are no houses left. That is assuming it would be using the current housing system, any newcomer would be SOL.

I would be all for a gated system if at the end you were guaranteed a house, perhaps using a new fully instanced system.

I wish it would be anyone who got to top 12 can take the house he owns to there for free. i dont think people would agree though , and eh im just glad that i got a house and not a cottage, can just go there once people leave ishgard for whatever new housing they add after it.

While I don't like missing fates and I still think it should have been done better: Part of a MMO-world is that the world can change due to actions of the players, even if you don't participate. If you missed an global event it still happend because others did it. I like that more and it feels more naturale then what WoW did with their layers.

If you're not a fan of content that's only "temporarily available" I'll bet you're real thrilled for the Unreal Trials.

As an idea and concept on paper its good but it comes down to people just miss out and want a do over. Take wow classic for example and the gates of ahn'qiraj, the gate opening event was one of the more important parts of wow that people wanted to experience again. So much so that wow classic was made a reality. Its just not smart to one and done events in mmos
