Island sanctuary doesn't feel right.

[Iscah]

I would be happy with customisation on the level of, "here is your cottage, do you want thatched or tiled roof? Which of ten pre-determined objects should be placed in this spot?"

Basically, the degree of customisation we get in building the island layout as it stands, but channelled into a home rather than the factory town we got.

Honestly, I don't hate Island Sanctuary. I even like having some chill, cozy dailies that I can do every day, gives me something to do when I log in. Aesthetically it looks good too.

It just could have been so much better. There's no reason to leave the base camp after you set everything up. There's no personalization. I hate the mammets, I wish I could build everything myself even if it took far longer and each building was done in stages, it'd still be my island. The rewards are good but I actually think they're too fast and for once it's content where the rewards don't need to be the only focus.

It's a nice idea, but it's done so quickly and the end result is so limited at the cost of a lot of developer resources.

Exactly this. I wish in a way it was like dragon quest builders, that way you're still doing a blueprint of a building but you can customize it how you want it and in your own time even if mammets were around to help.

I'm still doing the same, but that doesn't mean it's fun or engaging. For the first few days of the week, it takes me maybe 5 minutes to setup the workshop/granary/animals/garden. The remainder of the week I don't even need to bother visiting as everything is automated. I can't even remember when the last time was that I needed to go out into the island to gather materials.

I really hope they rework the granary/workshop system down the road. Do we really need to have 5 dedicated buildings taking up real estate? Does anyone really visit/hang-out in them outside of the initial building process? I would love to see them somehow condense the functionality of both the workshop & granary into a single location, along with moving all the mammets/storefront there as well. Then they could introduce more recreational building types for us to choose from for the remaining locations. And having just a few basic options for our cabin would be great as well.

Kinda burned out on the island pretty fast once I realized it was a "Sanctuary" like how old train companies and mining corporations in the US advertised their company towns as "the working man's home."
Even out in the middle of nowhere, with no worldly dangers or threats to safety, I am haunted by the leech, the omnipresent vampire that is Capitalism.

Edit: Considering the terminology, would it be called "Uldahism" or "Tataruism" instead of "Capitalism."
Edit2: Perhaps even "Rowenaism."

Wouldn't be surprise in a couple expansion Tataru will be the latest member of the syndicate.

Hello guys!

I just wanted to ask: is it my isle or it is an isle for the mammets?

I didn't see the live letter so, I kind of expected it to be a sanctuary for me to just get there and relax. Instead I get "you, fleshling minion! Go get us stuff so we can work!" Like, nah... no my thing. I rather Administrate those things than having them to administrate what I do.

Also it is rather not convenient to get there: yes I know it is not hard to talk to an npc so they create the instance for me, but couldn't it be just an item to use too?

Tataru promised me a paradise, the mammets just want me to work for them. Well, I guess my island will stay wild until the mammets decide to work by themselves, lol.

Well, that was my ranting.

Good day!

It's a filler.

I'm someone who's been taking it ever so slowly. Really just doing it in between queues, not dedicating specific time to it. Nor am I looking up guides. I'm feeling a problem where I'm not really told what's the next step? Like, I guess that's how they want it, to not push you into a path. And yet, I'd like any sort of clue within the game itself. To be told each time by the Pathfinder that "I need a team, tools and cowries!" doesn't explain much. So far it's been through ranking up... but IDK. I'm rank 7 and still clueless on all those cool perks people keep talking about.

Maybe that's the beauty of discovery they want us to feel. To rank up, and be astonished at the toys we finally unlock. But... rank 7 is kinda high, right?

That's really all there is to it. Rank up, and you can make some new or additional things. Make them all for free exp, then grind out the rest until you rank up. Rinse and repeat. Rank 10 is the final one.

Thanks. I thought there were some things like "automation" but I guess they were referring to upgraded Granaries. Speaking of which... what do those upgraded versions do? I'm saving up materials for those and don't know what to aim for first. Granary II? Workshop II? Or are they not as worthwhile so I can rank up to be able to get Clams (to make the Boiling Bathhouse)?
