Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

[R041]

Do Diadem and Bozja really count as midcore content though?

I guess it depends on where you are with it - But I'd consider them midcore, yeah. If I could do Bozja content in an open world, while also being able to run around, mine, join the critical engagements at my own time, then that'd be perfect.

FATEs and Hunts as we currently have them are just 2 polar worst opposites of Critical Engagements. Not even talking about the Actions you get in these Duties, but just how they're setup and offer actual engaging content.

Edit: I think one of the main issues people have, or at least I have is how sectioned off EVERYTHING is. It's all pocketed away and nothing really feels like a consistent, lived world. It's just separated mini-games that all have really slow activities and menu systems now. At least in other MMOs, when I run around and do content, there's tangential content as well. Here? I don't think I've ever stopped what I was doing to go Gather or Craft something mid-content. Because those are so separated as systems that when I want resources, it's me just basically being a drone for an hour instead of naturally getting them as I wander and do things in the world itself.

When Eureka released, I was so happy that they were testing WORLD systems and we all assumed they were actually going to start using that tech in the game, not wall it off forever. Then they go and do it again, develop more walled content, forever, always walled content.
