Predictions for OC/FT Live Letter

[Gurgeh]

Clearly its still bounding around in my head.
We want them to do new content, but when they do we get mad, so what then?

Well I realise the answer is simple, you just don't get to do any new content, until or unless you have done new casual content that all can access.
If you can then afford a hard version of said new content only then do you get to go ahead.

Because I know what's coming later. "When they do innovate you get mad!"
Well when that innovation is a savage content that is inaccessible and so might as well not exist, well... duh!
Well when that innovation is a reskinned Deep Dungeon, without a casual static (oxymoron) that you can only do 1/3 of, and the innovation is a Savage end instance, that's not accessible and so might as well not exist, well... duh!

Its too early to say that it the DD instance will be savage, and require true savage progging. But noone should be surprised if the benefit of the doubt is no longer available, and we'll wait for proof to the contrary rather than the other way around.
M1-4 (without OP gear) are prof that challenging midcore is possible.
CE's are proof that challenging midcore is possible. (but you cant then say "thats your lot now, we did a better job of CE's, and so we're taking away 'the set piece'" like Bozja Castrum)

But you really need to make sure your casual content is engaging. (Like CE's were) and not braindead, like a lot of it has become. Your casual does not consider itself to be the same as the solo plater who wants zero resistance, and just wants to read the quest dialog, and probably just as happy to solo, enjoys just pressing X in fates be they battle or gathering.

You mean like the entirety of occult crescent except that one singular thing named forked tower? Like we can all agree that all the CEs, the fates, the chests and the gold farm are all casual content, right?

And the fucktons of glamour from there are a force to be reckoned with.
