Who else is bored? Same Content and Formula...Was SB a waste of money?

[bswpayton]

people just will trip about anything they are adding new content, super savage, eruka however u spell it, they have said that we will be able to use our squadrans soon I think in 4.1, they also said they were lookin into making more savage style 4 man content for potd all of these things have been confirmed it just didnt come out in 4.0. And lets not blame this all on SE all the time Im sure who nova blasted the msq in probably two days which was the main basis of the whole expansion you know in a story driven game.

And again like someone else has said storm blood is an expansion can the devs really help that the player base chooses to run everything unsync and ignored all other form of content below level 60. One would think that you all these people in here thought they got a brand new game instead of just an expansion

Will savage PotD have new monters or will they resuse Stromblood monters that are reskinned HW monsters which are reskinned ARR monsters? We need to make it that the casuls dont need to learn new ememy patterns/mechanics.

After all casuls, new players and RMT keep the servers running.

OP's question: A definitive "Maybe. It would be, certainly, if there was something better in the genre that wasn't WoW."

Will savage PotD have new monters or will they re.

So it even comes down to the trash mobs now, Yea the devs can not win with this player base. I've stated that yes they should of added maybe one or two extra forms of gameplay. I'd actually be fine if with the new treasure place u could que for it instead of doing the maps. But it really sounds like most people here just want a whole new m mo experience in general

The fanbase of a medium is usually it's worst part.

I was bored before SB. So I took a 3 or 4 month break. Now I'm playing consistently again.

They never said things would change. Pretty sure they said the exact opposite. Yes, they have said things like "we'll be doing something different for the next patch". Pretty sure when they said that, we got treasure maps, PotD, and Aquapolis/Canals. Fluff content.

Yoshi's quote:


This can easily be interpreted as unsub. Who is going to stop for a patch cycle and continue to pay while they aren't playing? Maybe if enough people listen to him, SE will change their minds on the formula. There's also a survey when youunsub. It's not perfect, but you can list running out of things to do as a reason. I did that last time I quit. I agree that SE should really approach expansions and patches differently, but I'm not sure they'll bother unless they see significant drops in revenue/subs.

Does not counter what I said. My point is he does not understand, at least this point if it was said in the last few months, people are tired with doing the SAME FORMULA, so it defeats itself where it says "next major patch" (proof it is not in to reference of what is being complained about here) when said next major patch is just a copy/paste of the last major patch.

Diadem was a disaster, entirely too much effort for little to no reward depending on your RNG. Chocobo Racing, is there even a point to this? Gold Saucer isn't exactly engaging content with interesting rewards. Palace was wildly successful, even if it is just used as a grindfest for leveling alt jobs. Crafting and Gathering are their own little world as far as I'm concerned. I do a bit of both, and for what it is I enjoy it.

I'm not talking about mini-games. I'm talking about end game content and repeating that same content in the same pattern for the next two years which if what we've seen so far is any indication of the remainder of SB, is exactly whats going to happen. I can plan my entire expansion gameplay out right now without even seeing the future patches, because they are going to release the same content in the same pattern again.



Good, I'm glad you're still enjoying yourself. If what they are doing works for you, great. I'm just not enjoying doing the same content with a fresh coat of paint.

I think at this point it is proven people will say no to change.
*10 years from now, a new group of people thinking about quitting due to same formula*
"It has been working for 14 years so why change it?"
*only this neglects the high turnover rate and it works because of new people coming in*

Even if they are "happy" they do not want to make suggestions to make the game better? makes no sense to me.

I'm kinda bored, yes. I feel like SB suffered immensely from not updating content such as Deep Dungeon and Diadem ASAP.

PoTD allowed you to level different classes or gave you tomes if you were capped, and you could gain a weapon from it, so you benefited from it in some form no matter what you did. Diadem gave you good gear (although how it gave said gear left a lot to be desired, as BiS RNG gear is just terrible) and there were millions of different other little things you could gain from it.

You could always gain some sort of reward for doing this content, and any excess tomes could go towards an Anima weapon whether you really wanted one or not. You were always progressing towards something no matter what you did. But now? There's really nothing to do aside from raid or level classes.

We really need uncapped content that offers meaningful rewards, even if those rewards aren't the best. As long as they're still good. And there needs to be more things to spend uncapped tomes on.

I mean they're at the point that they're reskinning NEW dungeon gear already...so...
