6.2 MSQ Story Review

[GeckoMain]

Yeah I agree with most of your points- I also found this patch hard to enjoy because of how conveniently things happened. We just so happened to enter the void in the exact location of zero, and we just so happen to have JUST been given hydaelyns crystal which purifies zero and she just so happens to have the extremely rare power to kill voidsent for good. It just screamed bad righting to me and then zero herself, while kind of cool, is very very edgy and that seems to be a common theme with a lot of characters so it would have been nice to not have someone so dark and edgy.

Agree on the azem crystal comment too- I hate how the very msq has become super solo now, we dont even team up with other real adventurers anymore really we just summon some with our magical crystal- it's unimaginitive and the plots reaching a point where all the main characters feel unkillable and this just adds to it further.

I'm slightly worried as well about what interesting things are left lorewise- with the conclusion of the ascian arc and the 13th seeming to be heading towards being fixed, they're going to be almost entirely depending on the creation of completely new lore and backgrounds to new locations- as we've literally covered almost every bit of lore the game has to offer kind of. This could go either way I suppose- it's just a bit concerning that they seem to be making it up as they go along and relying a bit too much on people loving the scions. I'd like to see the scions removed or put in the background for the next expansion- they need to mix things up a lot to stop it going stale. Overall I still enjoyed the patch, but don't think it holds up well to inspection.

We literally only have Y'shtola with us in terms of actual Scions. I suppose you mean Estinien but he just joined in 6.0

I seriously dont get this criticism at all.
