I healed for them, we did a couple roulettes after while I was on (and I instantly regretted asking to do that, hoo boy those runs were giant messes), then I immediately bounced back off to Elden Ring.

I'm lucky that for the most part, my FC is full of close friends I can talk to outside the game (and who also tend to go on extended breaks during patch lulls, too), so I'm not losing that aspect at least. Just a shame when I genuinely do enjoy most content in this game and absolutely love doing dungeons, but just have zero desire to deal with everything lately. I'm hoping 6.1 reignites the spark somehow, but as things stand right now I'm severely doubting it.

Most of my FC are disappointed with how the housing stuff is gonna go in 6.1. :x We've had one member holding on to a small Shiro house all for the sake of relocating to Ishgard one day, and now even that's been complicated. I, personally, really kind of wanted to move us to that nice Mist large on the hill one day... but with how housing is right now, it's a bit of an impossible dream. I feel like the lottery system will only make it even less viable. Luckily most of us have come to love the Goblet and our little private island, but still.

For me, after how EW was obviously rushed out and the interviews speaking about a ton of rewrites to it before finalizing, I'm not exactly hopeful for any new story arc that we begin in 6.1... and the disappointment with the story has kept me from leveling my WoL alt, who I love and adore and had an absolute blast taking through the story from ARR to ShB. ;~; I miss her, but I just don't really feel a tug to replay EW right now like I did ShB and HW. I don't want to skip it on her either, though, as the entire point of the character was an 'official' WoL to go through the story start to finish on.

Ah well. 3-day weekend from capitalism grind, and I plan to enjoy it on Elden Ring; one of my best friends finally was able to pick it up, and they're a Soulsborne baby like I was, so I can't wait to help them through things like my co-lead helped me when I first got started in it!
