So what exactly is there to Do this patch?

[SeriousPan]

I've run the new Alliance Raid like... 24 times? Does the Casting Top even fuckin' exist? I don't think it does. Is this the long term content they were hoping to get me to do...? The monsters.

[Supersnow845]

If content locust is an apt description of someone who’s spent more than half the time they have been playing this game not actually playing this game I don’t want to know what a non content locust is

So I’ll bear this title for you all

[Supersnow845]

Alliance raid glams
Collecting mounts and minions
Do some hunt trains to upgrade your gear
pvp series
new extreme
new unreal
new crafting
new gathering
go collect triple triad cards to get a cool mount
collect mgp for the mounts
go clear criterion savage or ultimate fights
try solo-ing deep dungeons
there's so much more content to do even if you don't enjoy crafting&gathering you have lots of battle content to do

Old content
Old content
Old content
PVP
one new fight
Old content
Crafting isn’t new content it’s the same thing every time with no divergence
Gathering isn’t new content it’s the same thing every time with no divergence
Old content
Old content
Old content

WOW what a patch

[Supersnow845]

why are you playing an mmo if you don't enjoy content at all?
or do you want the devs to add content that you won't do so you have a reason to complain on the forums

Or shock horror I’ve done old content when it was current

[Supersnow845]

It's fine that you don't like certain content like savage or hunts or treasure maps, but you can't say that there's no content to do or that you've done everything

When I say old content I mean I’ve done it

I’ve done almost every savage fight that’s ever existed and I do treasure hunts all the time

I don’t know how to make this clearer for you

Is it so unfathomable that players may be on content, especially if they have been playing this game for a long time already?


Also, in this thread, we are specifically discussing duties that were added in this very patch. To condense your list to things added in this patch, it would be:

- Do some hunt trains to upgrade your gear (this is not drop in content, you have to wait for spawns.)
- pvp series (hit or miss with this update, very controversial changes)
- new extreme (apparently, the fight takes a couple of hours to learn, and after that, its a 12-15 minute thing)
- new unreal (if you have played during Stormblood, you may have already technically cleared this, I know I have)

the only thing on that list that could, potentially, offer long term motivation would be PVP due to the nature of PVP (Crystal Conflict is pretty fun, after all), and the Ex Mount Grind (at least until you have 99 totems). But asking every player not interested in progging Savage or Ultimate to bridge the wait until 7.2 with this list of content is, lets be honest here, a tad bit too optimistic.
Unreal was made with players that joined in later in mind, so they could re-experience raids as they were on content. Its not exactly new stuff for veterans.

PvP would easily carry this game for me through content drought if it actually had any long term things to go for.

This Season might be fairly active due the mixing of regional player pools and all the new changes, but the same old problem remains. Not to mention Wolf Mark/Trophy Crystal shops are very lackluster compared to almost any other shop options so you can't really make bank by grinding PvP either.

I checked their achievments and it shows that they have 12775 points, if that means players are "on content", sure buddy.

They have the achievements, they've done the content. Nothing was said was a lie. You may be a completionist, but not everyone is, not everyone considers mindless busywork content.

[Reinha]

I like how the same person is both a content locust and has not done enough achievements, apparently. The problem is clearly that players have completed too much and too little content at the same time, and not the fact that this patch launched with one new extreme trial as the repeatable PvE content. Which drops tokens you can't buy the mount with.

I don’t feel the need to get every achievement for a piece of content before I move on. Just because I haven’t got the 20,000 accursed horde achievement doesn’t mean I didn’t give deep dungeons a good crack. Just because I didnt get every big fish achievement doesn’t mean I didn’t give fishing a good crack

I do content as much as I have fun with it (isn’t that what people who defend the games content always say) and that doesn’t always lead to every achievement. The only content I seek out achievements is field content because I truly love field content

If anyone wants to comb my achievement list I have nothing to hide, I’ve given a solid crack to every piece of content I’ve mentioned
