Hildibrand content cut to ONE quest

[sindriiisgaming]

so hildibrand is now cut to just 1 quest? After all the complaints about no content they keep promising us more stuff and cutting it back more and more. what is going on at SE...? are they bankrupt or something. where is our sub money going?! like i have been looking forward to this since DT released and all i get is 1 quest?

I mean it's, what? 1 quest down from 2. It isn't really that significant. 1 quest or 2 quests it honestly doesn't matter since once they are done, that is it... They are done.

Always found Hildibrand kinda meh.

then thats a 50% reduction in content ;/ for the people who actually wanted to do this this is kinda not okay.

That is how they have been getting us though. They just shave things off little by little until there is practically nothing left. And sometimes there just is nothing left and things are forgotten.

And while I agree that Hildi is very meh, he has been since they reintroduced him in 2.0, 1.0 Hildi was peak, it is a sign of a much bigger problem this game has been suffering for years now and should be called out.

I mean, was, yes, at this point it's just meh and resources I think they could use better elsewhere, granted that's just my opinion. But regardless there has never really been a solid precedent set around Hildibrand, e.g., it isn't unheard of to do 1 Hildibrand quest in a patch as they have done so before, and in the case of Shadowbringers, I don't think we had any.

I just don't really view it as 'cut content' as such, because quests and such are shifted and moved around all the time. Most people just don't really notice them.

The "Doesn't bother me so I don't see the problem" attitude is why this game is becoming a shell of what it was. We should not be tolerating their bare minimum efforts, we bankroll the company.

Nobody said anything about it not affecting me, I just don't think it matters whether it is 1 quest or 2 quests ultimately as they have no replay value, nor do they really add anything aside comedic effect. they would still be trying to tell the same story regardless of whether it is 1, 2, 3 or 4 quests, I just think it is meh content with very little substance, and I am going to call it that, am I going to do it? Probably as it is likely going to have achievements and rewards tied to it.

My biggest problem is that number of quests for content is not really an easy measurement of 'cut content' as quests are shifted around and moved all the time, and not all quests are as equally as substantive so there is that. You could say the exact same about looking at quests in purely a numeric perspective, since it is concerned with purely the number of quests, rather than the actual substance and delivery of the quests themselves, which frankly the developers have fallen flat on for many many years.

Shall we start talking about 'cut quests' from the main scenario too. because this one had 100, Endwalker had 108, and OMG ShB had 106... This is why I see it as a fairly pointless perspective.

Edit: We can talk about "Why this game is becoming a shell of what it was", but the reality of this is looking at content in a numeric perspective, especially quests, is exactly a contributory factor to this issue, which clearly OP seems concerned that it was cut to ONE quest, rather than whether the quest was actually good or not.

Amount of quests is not a useful stat. How about amount of tasks and cutscenes across said quests? Sometimes a quest is just 1 task and a bit of dialogue and sometimes it's 50 tasks and lots of extended cutscenes.

Haha guys they are just reducing dungeons per patch by 1 right it's no big deal... Haha now they are doing only 1 dungeon per patch? It's just because of covid though right... Surely endwalker is just them getting their footing back and we will be back to multiple dungeons per patch with dawntrail!!
