There are plenty of people who want open world content and have been dissatisfied at this point and yet we're still paying for the game, hoping maybe next patch and our final hope 2.0 will fix things. I know Odin is a promised open world aspect but that's a small one.
Hamlet defense was scheduled for last march and I've been waiting for it since then as an open world content that I can just jump in whenever, something alike to campaign or besieged. I have yet to experience the hamlet defense we actually got but it sounds like every other instance. Not even as good as behest... I'd have had fun with hamlet defense even if it was super laggy. I did those garlean event fights where there was about 20+ people and I didn't lag. I can complain that I didn't see half of the people or what was going on the other side of the small area, but it was still fun and felt like a real battle.
Still I understand if they need to wait till 2.0 till they risk any super cool open world content or large scale battles. But can we get some hints of this soon? Please let us know what's going on for people who want open world. Maybe you can do a good reveal at the E3 showing?!
Lets let the devs know we want to know!
