SE, no effort anywhere lately.

Lackluster patch content. You know it's bad when people are excited for deep dungeons because there's nothing else to do. Crit & variant dungeons were a flop. Island Sanctuary is still a 5 minute get in, get out content when you consider how many people just use the Discord for workshop recs.
Recycles /eat emotes for the past couple events, new /dance emote doesn't even loop.

This game isn't in maint. mode but it sure feels like it is.

But are you still having fun?

I'll take loaded questions for 50 dollars, Alex.

What Rao said lol.

I RP and do crafting so there's my fun. I don't think it changes anything of what I said in the OP. You do you though with stupid questions like these.

I mean yeah, its minimum effort and people just rush to buy anything they put out, no matter how mediocre it is and how lazy it is, as long as people keep buying, they'll keep making mediocre content, be it on the mog shop or in the game.

Some of it feels like that, some of it feels like that general feeling I keep getting that co-op PvE is on its way out and honestly I wish it wasn't because that means a future that's either lonely or filled with an exclusive diet of PvP, which has never been much of a big calling for me (outside of old school board and card games, and that one time I was lucky my friends and I all played Unreal Tournament at the time - yes I'm dating myself - anyways).

Apparently C&V dungeons didn't have enough rewards (I'm still finishing up 6.0, so I haven't had a chance to try them myself and it sounds iffy if I will get to outside of Solo Variant, lol) - but as we know, that's a notoriously fussy thing to balance from a design standpoint.

Deep Dungeons always have a certain draw if only because it's about the only part of the game that has a few teeth left while still being variable enough that you get to use your noggin instead of it being a fiesta of "just paint by numbers from the influencer videos unless you're a world prog grade player yourself" like most PvE feels like now (almost like, why are we even playing the game anymore instead of just watching streamers do it? Not like you can really do it much differently without losing, unlike traditional RPGs. And if you point out that's a flaw, the hardcore people will say they won't feel challenged if it's not that strict. No wonder most casual folks seem more into Venue RP now). But their flaw is that they tend to demand marathon sessions most folks of the interested bent no longer have.

It might just be multiplayer gaming as we knew it that's played out, and the modern shifts seem like they mainly benefit influencers and fans rather than veteran gamers. And while I suppose SE could do otherwise, would it bring in the money they're expected to?

Yesn't.

[Amarande]

Yesn't.

LOL that's about the size of it. There's usually just enough stuff that you like to make you not want to give up on the game altogether, while not quite enough stuff to make you really happy with the game (and enough of a feeling like "this seems like could be so much better, but ..." that you can't help but write what's practically a regular column on GD at this point about the topic ...).
