So who is NOT getting Heavensward?!

[SaitoHajime]

Not getting it because of money issues. Which will probably be fixed about ~2 weeks after HW launch, maybe a little less.

And as a tank main, it seems like 2 weeks is a LOT to miss out on. Hope I'm wrong. XD

Lol but you're still getting it >_<

Eventually :P May not have read the OP clearly though....XD

That 2 weeks though D:

I'm still undecided with timing anyway. I'd imagine I'll get it eventually but I am far behind with story content, and from what I understand even getting the expansion doesn't mean I can play until the story is done for. My crafting skills have just recently got to producing hq lv 30 gear. In which I've been making allot of late to fund fc housing which needs to get done sooner then later as all the plots are nearly gone.
So actually my post may be invalid since I will be getting it but likely not for sometime.

Natashio, you are being part of the unwinnable game for a developer.

Make lots of content in the same vein as the original game? People complain there's no new stuff.
Make lots of radically different content? People complain you're not being true to the game's history.
Make too little content? People complain there's nothing to do.
Make too much content? People complain they're overwhelmed.

The way I see it, Heavensward adds a lot of new story, new places to explore, new crafts, new stuff to gather, new raids at endgame, and so on. I'm curious, though; what are YOU hoping it will contain that will make you buy it?

i don't think people would complain about radically differnet content as long as it is an addition to the existing game and its history, its no contradiction in my oppinion,
well "too little content. ofc ppl complain. They pay for it why shouldnt they.

Too much content? (lol)i really doubt that will ever happen, so nobody is going to complain there... id love to see an expansion with overwhelming content...
so far HW does seem like 2.0 with a new lvl cap, flying mounts , same gear treadmill, and airship content that, reading the patchnotes seems like "send the ship instead of the retainer to bring something back".
I really do hope they break out of that pattern, if not then it seems like one of the most boring content updates ive seen in the mmos ive played so far.

they have to get back to creative content with a nice graphic engine around it.... not just graphics then do some half ass cutszenes with 30% voiceacting (never seen that before anywhere on a title of that size), shallow linear content and same systems over and over... but well. let's see, i doubt but i DO hope that im mistaken

I just want off the gear treadmill. Unless they somehow make current FCoB gear matter (increase ilvl and boss stats maybe? Apparently, WoW does something like that), I have no interest. I know people enjoy it, and feel it's the logical next step and that's understandable. It's just too much for me to feel like "Well, here we go again, tomes tomes tomes raid raid raid," while all of a sudden ignoring what I've done before. As long as I can clear T13 before the expansion, I'll feel closure.

I'm happy for anyone that will still enjoy it, but for me, personally that's been the biggest reason I just can't get excited.

oh I only want gear to be able to enter content and then only complete sets b/c they look cool tbh. not for stats at all. like I only farm poetics to get bad ass looking iron works gear. and I dont know if you saw pics of newest ilv gear looks very anime- I HAVE TO HAVE IT

I tend to deal with this by not doing the treadmill.
I have everything at level 50 and instead of grinding everything i just take a casual approach to enjoying content when i feel like it.
My Bard is my main so i can grind that a little if i want to be geared enough for some of the higher content, but i never get too caught up in the maxing.

For this reason the open world content is very important to me, and i do hope the expansion does more with that.
I'd like for there to be some really tough to reach gathering nodes that you have to work around dangerous monsters in deep areas to find.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Natashio is going to be severely disappointed when they realize they will not be able to level to 60 without the expansion.
