Its only relic step 2!

IIRC, Yoshi said that we wouldn't get one for EW due to resource limitations and that we get V/C and Deep Dungeon instead this time. The chances for new dedicated relic zones for the next expansion aren't looking bad. (was said in one the the past live letters). Despite the hatred for such content in the forums it apparently was well received by the playerbase.

I just wonder IF it continues the story from the Shb Relic-zones, since its story was said to be continued in the ending screen ^^

due to resource limitations

That is what you say, when you need an excuse or don't wanna hire more devs to update engine or when you don't wanna say "no".

They already have nice zones, but they arent using them for open world activities much, because there is none besides hunting and treasure maps since 2.x.

For me, the good type of content is large scale, but has the option to fail e.g.

• Baldesion Arsenal type Raids (56 players)
• Diadem Emergency Mission (72 players)
• Deep Dungeon (for more than 4 players)

Emergency Mission doesn't exist anymore (how sad to be the dev of that little nice trial and then it gets removed for eternity lol...).
BA and Delubrum Raids are mostly gated behind Discord groups (at least EU/NA) and can't really be seen as accessible when you have to organize groups 2 weeks in advance, and additionally has very specific entry requirements and only 1time rewards...

Or have some deep dungeon content but largescale. Multiple groups starting on the same map, having to advance higher floors, reunite for boss fights, solve riddles, having to use cc... While being in speedcompetition with other servers. Add server wide buffs as reward for each stage unlocked and repeat the cycle every few months.

But you all know what we get, 1 dungeon and 1 trial and 5 mainstory quests and something for the roleplayers (not sure if they even still need stuff, they have mods for that).
And content that is either too easy or directly needs longterm/organized commitment.

Where is the casual to midcore largscale world content? Worldbosses that exist are a joke, because rezzes are unlimited.

But well, there are other games.

If you collected the field records, they actually spoil the ending completely and say what happens far into the future.
