The new dt beast tribes are out of touch with players desires.

[Jeeqbit]

I don't think it's out of touch. I am looking forward to the pelupelu and perhaps their relationship with the Yok Huy, as the side quests already started building on.

I think it will be great if we can learn more about the Mamool Ja and further develop their offering to outsiders so they can make money, as the side quests already started building on, and work further on the relationship with the Hrothgar.

If for some reason we don't, I suppose we could work on the state of Living Memory if the MSQ doesn't cover it for some reason.

(pls God no hanu hanu)

I actually would like this but we've already had the Vanu Vanu so I think this wouldn't be a logical direction for them and I think they shouldn't do it because of that. They can cover this in a custom delivery anyway.

Who can seriously say they enjoyed the matanga btd?

I think it was interesting to learn about these beasts I'd previous just killed in Yanxia for fun. Added more depth to them. I think the greater importance of it was helping to rebuild trade and business in Thavnair after the events of the Final Days and Garlemald's fall ruined it.

Who can seriously say the loprits had a good story and not just randomly creating a rave inside the moon.

It wasn't random; it was giving the lopporits a purpose since they no longer had one. I thought it was really good because it got to the very heart of the matter - that they just didn't want to be alone and to have a connection to the people on Etheirys and for them to hear that they exist. They did this via radio. The abundance of services they had created there created not only a "happy" place of belonging for eachother but a collection of services to offer Etheirys.

And of course the Ultima Thule one was great and helped complete its story.

If you thought it was all gag content then you just didn't see the deeper story they were telling with it tbh.

The new dt beast tribes are out of touch with players my desires.

Fixed.

We don’t even know what the tribes will be for sure and what the quests will be and you are already complaining…

Oh and I liked the Akasodra/Matanga quests.

Who are these races for? Who is this story for? Who can seriously say they enjoyed the matanga btd?

I did, the final race was a really fun, and well made cutscene and Trna was a delight to hang out with.

Who can seriously say the loprits had a good story and not just randomly creating a rave inside the moon.

It wasn't just about a rave, it was about giving the loporrits a goal since they had lost that.

Fairies, omicron, moogles and even the arr sahagin had some really solid story's that got me interested. Hell sahagin even lore dump some cool stuff on u

Hold on, you didn't like loporrits but the Moogles are in the list of the ones you like?

Yeah, it is indeed a question of taste, because I couldn't stand the annoying furballs.

Imo, it would be a matter of waiting and seeing. Story-wise DT has been really, really weak, really weak, but luckily, beast tribes are usually treated as completely side stories, so who knows what'll come.

How can the new beast tribes be out of touch with player desires when we don't know what tribes we will be getting yet or what role they will play in the expansion. This feels like dooming about something when we haven't even got any info on the tribes yet. The expansion may have had a rough start with the most mixed reception then even arr had but at least wait until we get all the tribes before claiming the devs are out of touch with player desires.

We don't even known what beast tribes we'll be helping. Also, these type of quests has been changed to Society Quests, which means we might not even be helping any tribes. Considering we got empty towns in Kozama’uka and Heritage Found, I'm fully expecting a reconstruction project to restore the broken stairway in Kozama’uka and to help out Alexandrians and our train buddies in Shaaloani rebuild Yyasulani Station so make travel easier.

[Uncle_Jafar]

At least wait until it’s released before complaining.

[Hallarem]

Beast tribes? Don't you mean Friendly Alliance Happy Friends Of Humanoid Shapes? Or whatever they changed it to for the THIRD time

[MeanDragon]

Wait, have you done them already? How did you get early access? Can I sign up somewhere?

[Asari5]

its the pelupelu, the hanu hanu and the moblins. these are the three they introduced on the three fan fests... these will be the three tribes. do i like them? no. but thats pretty much the pattern

[Xieldras]

I wouldn’t say you are wrong neither you are right.

It’s just preferences in the tone of the beast tribes.

I agree though that DT seems to be too much in the more lighthearted direction.
I also agree that some tribes in EW were too much… normal for me.
The game says that the tribes are just normal people but why then have tribe quests instead of something else for a change.

In the beginning they fleshed out what was normally our enemy.
To this day I adore the Ixal quest line.
The Shb ones were also great because it gave a spin on the beast tribe stuff with the dwarfs / Lalafell.
Nowadays they are just normal side quests with normal people.

Anyway I think there is no right or wrong in this regard but I also wished there was a different approach this time.

The Ixali quests made them my favorites to this day. But it's also that ARR tribes seemed to be more serious in tone, I still remember most of their questlines (sorry to the arkasodara, but you're a forgettable bunch that I haven't capped to this day by how bored I am. Helping them start a food delivery service and hippo racing? Really?). They're now less so about exploring the lore of these tribes, but maybe that's just me.

My predictions are Giants and Mamool Ja (maybe restoration? There was a slight mention in the MSQ about helping them grow more varied crops). Bringing in the HanuHanu would be kind of stupid considering we have the VanuVanu in HW, and I believe they will try to use Beast Tribes we haven't really seen yet. As for the quests themselves, well considering DT's tone so far I expect it to be similar to the MSQ Rites. I do not have high hopes for them being interesting questlines if we reference the writing quality we have for this expansion.
