MSQ Needs Further Condensing

[Iscah]

A better approach, would be, in reality, to simply summarize the MSQ, up until the current expansion in a series of logs, or still-frame cutscenes, and offer a one time boost, like many other MMORPGs.

Again, optional.

The game does not seem to be able to do "optional" like this. Note that the ARR alterations are not optional but have permanently overwritten the original.

Apparently, the game cannot do anything, and the devs, apparently, can't do anything with the game. Why do we discuss anything ever, nothing can be done about anything!

More like "changing the core fame to be completely different is frowned upon" but keep reaching with those arguments. Makes work go faster.

Reaching what? I was actually speaking in general, as it was written.

The length of the msq is clearly a design problem, and the devs have acknowledged it as such with the edits.

I suspect the true purpose of ng+ is to permit a more drastic skip than what we got with the msq edits, but we won’t know until a future expansion is revealed. Long ago back in beta, they acknowledged the msq length would be a concern they’d eventually need to consider, and retiring level ranges might be necessary.

Now that the ascian saga is over, and now that the gigaprimal arc seems to be coming to a close, it may be time to shelf the entire storyline and only introduce players to a new arc. Maybe not this upcoming expansion, but certainly the one after.

A new arc would be a great place to start players fresh, in some way.
