I havent done even half of what the patch brought - still missing the MSQ after the dungeon, aswell as the Nier-raid and I didnt had time to re-organise my crafters yet.
While not everything is totally to my taste - I dont really like the look of that new PvP-gear, but hey, thats okay, theres other stuff for me to wear! - all in all I'm really happy with what I've seen so far! Sure, I'll need to write new macros for crafting but this also gives me a good reason to clean up my crafting macros and delete all the old ones for good, considering that they wont work anymore.
My static had a lot of fun wiping to Hades yesterday, trying to figure out the mechanics.
The beast-tribe quests promises to be super cute and creepy and I'm loving it!
All this new furniture might actually push me over the edge and make me re-do my house - something I havent done since I bought it 2 years ago. But now, with all those new stuff, I'm really excited to do something different with it!
I also agree with you on the dungeon - such a beautiful place and I really liked this "high fantasy" vibe with those ghostly elves! Not a total fan of the "carry an item out of an AoE"-mechanic, but besides that the boss-fights were fun.
...the forums however are, what they've always been, specially when it comes to patches and added content and the like. You cant please everyone and we should be so honest and acknowledge that in some regards they have a point (mainly eyeing at you, housing...).
Just find comfort in the thought that everyone whos enjoying the game is probably to busy playing it and doesnt has the time to come here and post about that! (People might also be holding back a bit on quest- or raid-discussions to not spoil anything - at least thats what I want to believe... that someone whos enjoying quests wont spoil that on day-one for the rest)
All in all: Been enjoying this patch so far and am really looking forward to our FC-NieR-run this evening! (And thanks for that "orchestrion rolls only require rank 2"-info! I hadnt checked yet, but that means I can actually get them all!)
