Field operations in 7.25? Again I think the biggest mistake is not capitalizing on field operation content early for casual players to keep people engaged. And if the 24 man savage rewards are bad like criterion last expansion, then you will have a big problem.

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

I've no idea either.

The best time to actually start the Field Operation would be 7.0.5. That specific piece of content tackles several parts of the casual-midcore-hardcore spectrum, but above all, it is content with a long shelf life. They could even add one zone each even patch, which seems to be the good middle term between too few (Bozja) and too many (Eureka).

"Oh we can't get this because 7.0 is the whole MSQ." I see this a lot lately in similar threads here and on reddit, and this is such a skewed point because you can literally be done with the whole MSQ in a bit over a week of play going very slowly. Not only that, but the MSQ is not repeatable content. And add to the injury that despite the writing being good or not, the MSQ practical execution and pacing is really poorly made.

I just disagree on the opinion of “just do it and don’t complain” (overexaggerated in this case of me).
Yes it is possible to find those people and yes it is possible to clear but you can have the most relaxed group in existence savage would still be a commitment even those 2 hours on weekend, 8 people must have time or the want to do it, you have to know the fight and it will always be annoying for some with those bullcrap bodychecks.
Others are also just not interested in harder content, others again only play with their spouse and so on.
Doesn’t have anything to do with being unable to find friends in this game.

Don’t misunderstand me I am happy for the raiders.
I am not casual, I tend more into midcore with extremes (because I don’t like savage) but
Endwalker had extremes, savage, ultimates and criterion as content for raiders.
For me the wait is till field content arrives because I am not motivated enough to do an extreme 99 times just because mount drop rates are abysmal.
DT has the same and even more now and no the patches after that will also have extremes and savage, another ultimate, criterion and probably another chaotic raid.
Again I am not against raiders being happy but I personally think that raids seem to be the only thing lately where the effort goes into.

Savage tends more into hardcore in my eyes, midcore would be extremes and field content (like the duels) but that’s different from person to person so whatever.

I don’t think that they only throw a little bone to raiders outside of the massive amount of other content for other players.
Raiders are the group that gets at least the same amount of content regularly and now even more.
The only other thing with the same constant is the MSQ and the normal content.

An MMO isn’t just raiding though but lives also of other things.
Updates to the gold saucer, an honest update to ocean fishing or other content to engage the community In interacting with each other outside of raids.
THATS my problem with it all.

That's odd, I thought I was the one triggering you here, seeing how you keep replying. Little snowflake is so insecure that the only thing it has to do in life is trying to bait on internet forums.

Well bait used to be better, as they say.

Indeed, apparently that silly person thinks that messaging in a public forum when I felt rather non-plussed is apparently triggering and a basis for proof, which in itself could be triggering but is an actual hoot. Interesting that all their dotish posts centre around other peoples discontent and opinions and they can't cope with differing opinions it is simply laughable and absurd.

Ho, I forgot to point, more ressources allocated to rework old dungeons... I hoped this would end with 6.55, so now they could concentrate on new content, but no.

[PercibelTheren]

You said “no chance for other people to complete” as if the discords are gatekeeping the content when they just want to help

Asking for a discord is not a high bar to ask for some level of cooperation with others

I guess I can understand that some people just don't want to have to use a third party communication app.

Personally, I'm just annoyed that the different activities and information seem to be scattered over dozens of different Discord servers. It's awfully inconvenient.

[BabyYoda]

the content would be not bad if the development schedule is 3.5 months .. but 4.5 is too much..

I am quitting until 7.3 bozja maybe.. playing granblue relink until I see meaningful changes

thats a big problem of the current internet in general thats noticeable. Discord is where information goes to die, it is not indexed, not persistent, and a linear chat, not a good way to store and publish information like a wiki would be.
Plus, yes, every Discord server (rightfully) tries to be a community, and you can only join so many communities with the time you have.

This one is baffling to me, honestly. I would assume they would want to push out field operations as soon as possible because it's a massive time sink, especially for people who only play every now and then. I'm not sure why they're holding off until casual players will have lost interest because there's no content for them to do.

they have obviously drunk the koolaid that says "hardcore raiders keep games afloat" or "pvprs keep games afloat" take your pick.

they dont even bother making jobs fun any more but. "wait until 8.0" is getting old, and I doubt there will be many left to look forward to that....
