so you're angry that it's not more like WoW's Garrison? Oh well

That's the problem, it IS a garrison.
Just not tied to character progression and that is it's saving grace right now. I can drop it and not care.

I wasnt particularly interested in it once it was announced but i have given it a go. Its OK . I get the appeal , and understand the time gating for building things and crafting items

However the joy started to wane drastically once I first had the ability to create a minion trap only to discover it has a horrendous failure rate for catching animals and that lead to the second thing i dislike about the island due to loosing the few traps i had, having to grind more mats to make more and that the nodes give singular items and I despise this . Ive tried to capture more small pets and i had such a high failure rate I gave up . My total of 4 captured animals is going to stay that way because I hate crappy rng which forces me to go grind mats that give small amounts per node to then make a trap that for me has almost always failed to catch the animal.


I took a break and came back, currently rank 5 . Im building things with no real idea why. I see that the more ranks you get, the same gathering nodes we've been attacking for hours on end will allow further mats to magically appear which isnt exciting . Im tasked with building stuff with no purpose currently other than something to look at , it has a terrible UI , and not being able to see the state of crop or pet moods unless you go directly to the robot helper is a pain in the backside.

Also not being able to keep the mats list on screen for a building/tool whilst youre gathering mats for it is annoying , and being unable to make it a task that appears in the quest list so the mats required are on screen like a normal objective would be is an oversight IMO.
The one thing that did surprise me was the super fast land mount speed . Honestly I thought they were going to make it that god awful slow default speed just to make it time gated even further .

At this point IS is akin to a cheap mobile game brought to life in an MMO. Not all grinds are created equal.

I will participate in this as long as their are semi-desirable rewards. Such as the glamour which I can use for several different ideas, the hairs (that could go with glamours), mounts, minions, decor, etc.. Without that stuff, it is doubtful I will continue to even visit. At best I will just set things to craft.

I still say Tataru tricked us into building a mammet military base for her outside the eyes of the grand companies.

I was not impressed by this content either and short of adding some form of instanced housing to it or at the very least more fun gameplay, I struggle to see a future where many people continually engage with it.
