Out of touch? PLL

[Sotaris]

They showed a screenshot of a reimagined Castle Zvahl throne room ahead of time, and then the PLL itself showed a screenshot of Lower Jeuno and Prishe on the patch's poster art. That's it.

Well, that's a bit disappointing. I assume they'll show it off in part 2 but still. Feels outdated to show a prerendered jpg as a "teaser". It worked maybe in 2013.

It's incredible how disingenuous the forums still are thinking their small minority voice will warrant addressing anything in a LL. That echo chamber really failing yall. Stay mad.

You must be new here. Always been always will be like that. Same goes to any gated community. Twitter, this forum, reddit.

Forum feedback has never been valued, because it is the minority. Pretty sure with the amount of raid clears this tier, they consider DT engagement a massive success. There is nothing likely needing addressing from a numbers perspective. Not that they EVER would have intended to be like "omg, the forums are complaining, we must address immediately!!!!"

What is your fix? How should they collect feedback? Just cause they don't post here doesn't mean CM are reading reporting back relevant discussions to the development team.
I sound like a shill for stating the obvious.

I hope people who feel lack of joy or frustration are able to find fulfilment elsewhere or reconcile their relationship with the game in a different way.

Unironically, the smartest thing you could have said. If only the forums took this stance to heart, we may actually have some productive conversation instead of harping on every single aspect of the game. With the amount of complaints on these forums, you'd swear there isn't a single redeeming quality of XIV.

Again, stay mad that you and others didn't get their "demands" addressed. Y'all can make good on those I quit posts now while you're at it.

I am a casual player and the direction of travel isn't what I desire but I just do the minimum and play other games which is great fun and I am looking forward to PoE2.

After they changed Scholar significantly i just moved to dps and other roles than i enjoy and just found my happy place and just accepted the game moved on. I would spend more time in 14 with stuff to do but nothing appeals and I just have put myself in my the head space of enjoy the story and the casual content and moved to jobs that I find fun.

It is sad to see people upset about the changes or lack of things they like doing and I get the frustration. I do wish people wouldnt say uninstall or just dismiss others concerns it is dreary, unhelpful and at times can be toxic. I can only suggest as an option to play the game in a way you can still invest some time and that suits your finances as for me when the fun stops i stop and its worked out well as silly games like supermarket simulator has been fun.

Can you please cite my demands or where I am mad.... You are very melodramatic, unpleasant and just silly.

Funny enough, I took a week break from the game. When I picked it back up I had fun. Then when I came to the forum and started reading I became miserable. Maybe time to block the forum from myself. Social media has never been my thing, not sure why I decided to check out the forums. Think this'll be my sign off. Not for the game. But this place.

Isn’t PLL part 1 always introduce new features for a patch and it is until part 2 he will answer player base concerns?
Jump the gun much?

Correct. We didn't even get shown two different content we know we will be getting. The cosmic exploration and that Bermuda Triangle thing they hinted at. Part 1 of most LLs are anemic with information let alone going over or showing things that we weren't already expecting.

[Voidmage]

Its exhausting that so much of content in this game is "circular/rectangular arena with a boss", and nothing more.

Thank god I had no expectations of this hyped up hard Alliance Raid.

They could have made crystal tower in hard, where you have to respect mechanics and add some new ones.
Interesting trash packs or whatever.
Instead it’s just another fight of only a boss, another savage fight disguised as something new.

Also that whole “tehe, we made it savage instead of extreme, whoopsy” is just criterion all over again.
It’s the same as always.
Hardcore raiders get all the fun and midcore keeps starving.
They get savage on release and ultimate plus this one now and in the future more criterion, more ultimates and probably more of this alliance raid stuff.
It’s the only group that matters for them nowadays I think.

It will just be another discord monster and streamer content like I thought.

The only saving grace is that Wuk Lamat wasn’t in the artwork so that gives me hope at least for the future of the story.

My sub runs out in a few days and from what I have seen I don’t think I will resub for 7.1.
Maybe later when there is actual content for me.

I wish the hardcore players and the housing people fun. At least you get something with this patch.

bermuda triangle thing is most likely for 7.2 (probably 7.25) from previous expansions. Cosmic exploration is 6.15 at best. Not sure if it's gonna be there.

What’s the point of holding back long form content for so long

People complained for example that bozja’s grind was too long for the ray’s, maybe that grind would have gone better if it didn’t literally start in 5.55

Sounds like going to the internet in general to be fair, lol.

I'm not sure they would hint at it as early as Chinese Fan Fest or in the most recent interviews if it was to be in 7.2. Especially since we were told about it before Yoshida dropped savage alliance only in the most recent of interviews. As cosmic exploration is to be our next Ishgardian restoration while the Bermuda triangle thing is meant to be our next Bozja.
