I can't believe I forgot to mention how awesome this is. The exp gain to time investment is excellent and I've been queuing it every day on my DPS.

I wish I could add positive points, but I'm very disappointed with 4.1. The main story made everyone act like idiots to enable conflict, and tried to redeem the secondmost least likable character in SB. The squadron update is pointless; it's just another beta test of features with no real application for players. We're just testing their AI for them. Shinryu is tuned more for savage players, and doesn't seem to be done as much as susano or lakshimi. Royal city is good, but tiring, and they still made the only worthwhile rewards once per week. Come on, at least let us get multiple pieces of gear from it. The beast tribes...look, by now many of us have done 4-7 of them, we can't keep doing the same stuff over and over again. Especially since you HAVE to do the BST tribes every day to make progress.

About all that's good is a feast 4v4 practice mode finally, and the QoL stuff. But there really isn't much to do that you weren't doing before or weren't tired of before.

Best parts of 4.1 for me are Raid Roulette and Beast Tribes.
All that XP for my few remaining DPS classes is just phenomenal and Raid Roulette also gets my Wonder Tails done so much quicker since before I typically avoided the CT raids for lack of motivation.

Royal City is alright, I guess, albeit a bit trying on the nerves when you watch half the alliance crushed under towers or some such nonsense for the 10th time.
Shitryu can crawl back into the aether it came from. I'd like to see add phase but god if I can even see Diamond Dust before any PF I've been in ends up wiping and that was only when I was healing; if I DPS or Tank, we barely make it past 1st Hellfire/Judgement Bolt.
Haven't touched Squardons since I severely outlevel everything they can do that I don't see the point in it. I'll just continue sending them out as glorified retainers that bring me scrips if it's all the same to everyone.
