This. God, this is my biggest issue with the pacing in HW and why I like the newer xpacs over it because while the pacing is still not so great, it's better than "everyone is singing Kumbaya around the campfire now, holding hands, after 1000 years of being at war with each other " The way that things were handled post-SB in trying to get things on the track to being better was a lot more believable than what happened in HW. I like HW, it was great, but two patches in, in-game maybe a month or two, and "oh yeah we're friends now!!!" was just absolute crap. 3.1 up until the end of 3.3 was pretty meh for me because of that. I was much more interested in 3.4 and 3.5 and like the 4.0 leadup a lot more than the weak 3.x patches that came before.

The Garleans I get. The whole schtick with going into their lands wasn't to invade but help and show that "hey despite all the atrocities you committed against us, we're gonna come in and be nice because we'd prefer to move past all of that assuming you don't try the same crap again" so showing them the mercy they didn't show others was kind of a passive aggressive frick you... but I also just wanted to throw the old rich people into a lake somewhere after seeing how nice they were living compared to the people in Tertium lol. I know my reaction to the guy going WELL I'M NOT GONNA THANK YOU!!!! was "k, well, have fun walking back on your own I guess, bye" until he got dressed down by Jullus.

Nah, we don't have 7 spinoffs in 10 years scattered in different timelines + a mobile game that seems unrelated until oh, actually, this is a huge prequel, before getting to the next numbered patch... and we don't need a spreadsheet to tell us what the actual timeline is, it's pretty straightforward. Plus we don't get attractions attacks or Donald refusing to heal us and just casting Thunder repeatedly, I'd call that a plus!
