Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[GoatOfWar]

You take 8 months off, buy all the new gear off the market board. Do the 1 weeks worth on content and maybe the whopping 4 savage raids for gear that doesn't matter, lol.

The raid tier is actually already dead lol

That’s the worst thing about the current drought, we are ripping each others heads off arguing about the content drought now; we are still between 6.4 and 6.5, the 6.5-7.0 gap is pretty much a flat year, and we already know what the content is gonna be in 6.5 and it isn’t much

Imagine how people will be in April next year with no content for 6 months and no substantial content since Anabeisos/EO launched 18 months ago

You are assuming this will be the case...which it wont be. There will be content in between...the earlier patch cycle dates show that to be true. Go back and look at past cycles, what came in and when.

There wont be a 6 month gap in between patches, Super.

We already know the patch cycle to a T

6.5 late September/October- most of the rest of the story, last dungeon, trial and alliance raid
6.55 January- last V/C dungeon, tiny bit more story
7.0 late summer

So by April it will be 6 months since 6.5 (I barely even count 6.55 as a patch here compared to 5.55 that gave us Zadnor or 4.55 which gave us hydatos) and about 4 months till 7.0, if you are super generous and call 6.55 a patch it’ll still be 7 months from 6.55 to 7.0 and at the time of 6.5 releasing it’ll be 4.5-5 months since 6.4

So yes there will be periods of 6 months between patches and what is being offered between now and 7.0 is frankly embarrassing

I think October 3rd is the date of 6.5 going off of the live letter announcement for part 2. I believe V/C and crafter/gatherer relic are 6.51 this time and battle and whatever else the 6.55 so this patch layout is a little different. Comparing to other X.5 patches there isn’t really much difference outside of the other 2 expansions having the exploration zone and relic being tied to them. Granted that did artificially inflate playtime though so il give you that and also you wrote late summer it’s just summer for now it could be whenever in there so don’t make something up that we don’t know.

For me personally there is so much I want to play I’m glad 14 isn’t going to fight for my time in that regard till Dawntrail lol but I obviously wish people had the avenues of engagement for the long term.

The Dawntrail waiting room is probably gonna be the most trying era of modern XIV. ~8 months, hope you all have something planned to occupy you because I sure as hell don't.

Are you just talking about FFXIV, or in General?
Either way, I think Im pretty set.

Since I dont religiously play FFXIV and ALL of its content, I got plenty to do and catchup on.

Then there is IRL stuff to do.
Take a lil break to try out some other games. Come back for the patch updates....yeah I think time will fly by for me personally.

Thats just me though.

And hey, if they got some good rewards, Ill look foreword to the next Moogletrove event as well.
I liked this one, grinded out 330 for lots of things.

Eh, I don't think the wait between 6.55 and 7.0 will be any worse than the wait between 5.55 and 6.0. Was almost 7 months from the end of ShB till EW launching and going by a January 6.55 release and assuming July release of DT will be a similar wait.

I honestly agree, the best answer is to unsub for almost a year until about a week until DT drops and take a few hours to knock out all of patch 6.5 and 6.55 content.

And what big chunky and grindy piece of content did 5.55 release

You can personally not like field content but by 6.0 70% of level 80 characters had access to Zadnor, in EW the equivalent is another C/V dungeon

Hell dalriada alone is basically equivalent to what we will get in 6.55

Im still going to be playing off and on. I play in bursts anyway so I dont burn myself out.
Im gonna keep up and all of that and just do some content I havent done yet. Then...idk, maybe ill have between 60-90 days of downtime before DT drops. Depending on things, and if I didnt already play the other games I wanna play.
