This story is really underwhelming - it's opened to mixed reviews.

The story has such a lengthy trip and it's exhausting to do it all back to back, just so you get into new areas and unlock different things. I'm pretty sure it would alleviate some of the issues and burnout syndrome, if SE wouldn't lock us out from important features.

Things that come to my mind:

- Flying (Aether currents)
- Expert Roulette
- Equipment exchange in hub city
- Rowenas house of splendor

There is a similar article on Kotaku where the author straight up admits to not even having played it yet.

I mean...it's Kotaku. Why are you reading that ****, anyway lol

Lvl 99 now and why does literally everybody else get to be a cool character except for the WoL?

Why does the old robo knight we have known for 5 minutes get a more epic and badass saviour moment than we do?

Totally agree.

I wish he had been with us longer. I really enjoyed his character. His voice acting was sublime and he was such a charismatic and fun character. Of course they wanted to do a Hauchefaunt moment with him. It's unsurprising they'd use him for cannon fodder.

"Oh SHOCK, some people don't like a character that other people DO like! I simply can't understand! How can you not like something if others do???"

The fact that this is so mind-boggeling to her is wild. How does she cope with people having different opinions in daily life?

It's a classic forum trope. "I don't understand," she said, after hundreds of people explain exactly why they dislike a character. It's a veiled way to call other people stupid for their opinion rather than just expressing a different one.

Fourth Zone....First look, Southwestern United States, Wild West...This may sound crazy and haven't even started questing there yet but the first look alone made the theme for me and that made the zone already considerably better from a first glance.

Why couldn't they have done this with the first 3????

I mean, they did. The rest of Tural is just pre-colonisation South America. They just scrambled the geography a bit.

It's hard to explain but that's not what I meant. The first two zones especially were completely lacking a theme outside of "hey, people live here".

They do look generic, because that biome has been done to death, including in WoW. The far west is a novel concept in fantasy MMOs I guess.

It's kind of silly I know but the moment I laid eyes on the fourth zone it just instantly connected better than the first three especially the first two and you're absolutely right on the other part too. The biome has been done to death though I will grant them that the zones are still quite beautiful and they did the variation quite well.

It's just...Yeah.
