Island Sanctuary Appreciation Thread

It certainly looks interesting, and I look forward to hearing more about it.

That said, I would caution against getting too excited this early, as we barely know anything about it. All we have is some concept art, and a very general description of the basic idea. There are a lot of things we don't know, what sort of activities it will have, whether it will have a player house, or even whether it will be out in 6.0 (As opposed to having to wait for a later patch).

"Euthanize your creature and collect rewards from it."

WTF

I hope we don't get that

To be fair, XI never forces you to use that option. I always opt to send the creature back to wild instead.

I was upset when the tutorial lamb died to introduce that system though.

it will probably be heavily time gated so you'll stay subbed.

This is my take as well. What we've seen/heard so far seems promising, but it's been so little. I'm interested but even saying cautiously optimistic might be placing too much weight on it given how little we know so far.

Pretty sure that's not going to be the case. It's being described as something to do when you're already logged into the game with some time to spare (such as while you're waiting in a Duty Finder queue) and not something you'd want go out of your way to log in to do.

If there's any sort of annoying time gating involved, players will just ignore it and it will end up a waste of development time that could have gone toward developing more engaging content that actually would have helped keep players subscribed longer.

We get to raise a farm but do we get to raise animals?
If so, Beastmaster sidequest confirmed, albeit in a roundabout manner. x)

I'd be down for some stardew valley type of game or Harvest moon island sanctuary and build upwards. It's about time the WoL is getting some Rest and relaxation after saving the world to a peaceful life.
