Where is all the content?

Well different people have different tastes when it comes to a good story. I wont deny that yes the story does contain what i refer to as plot devices of convenience like time travel, the azem stone and some other but all of the components together fit with the story. I read some people state that basically the story was bad because we are now to believe it was the wol going back in time that started the events and thats impossible. Personally i dont know because im not an expert in time travel but to me it feels like the perfect example of ghe chicken or the egg, what came first. Now personally the whole ordeal in ultima thule i can say made me mad. Why? Because i am not an emotional person so to have some stray tears going down my face, sniffling and even staring blank at the screen a few times made me mad, but in a good way because never have i had such emotional investment in a video game. To say though that the saving of the scions was a given well i wouldnt say it was a given... i was extremely hoping for it but honestly it could have easily not been the case. Just wanted to put some of my thoughts out there

It does need to be taken into account that one world is not one server - it's probably at least 6 servers containing quite specific components and might be several servers more than that in truth. Then you have the data connections, backup facilities, etc. etc. - this is not off the shelf stuff you get from a hosting company.

Takes 10 servers to drive one world according to info given by Yoshi.

You can now add to the list of cut-backs the increasing amount of hats that even for the existing, and by far and large most played, race in the game that used to have no problems with hats, flat out "hide" their ears in this expansion. (And the aforementioned sets that hide tails completely)

Fully expect the usual shilling to dismiss this as a non-issue in the snowball of "non-issue" that is present in Endwalker.

Seems like a troll thread due to the mass amount of information in the original post. Said person doesn't even know how the servers work, and listed rather poor substitutes as an option, showing they didn't know anything about the current infrastructure, which very much debunked their "advice". I even earlier linked a picture of just one row for one server from their data centers when they re-did them. None of the services the OP linked could even match a 100th of the power and connections needed.

Let us go on with how this is just the opening of the expansion, the content being on par with each one so far... Music for example in Edens Gate, remixes of other music.

Just a lot of misinformation due to ignorance in the original post, so seems quite clearly a troll thread.

Eden’s gate had 5 songs. Pandaemonium has 2. There’s more reused gear this expansion than in prior ones, and we don’t even have an 89 dungeon set compared to the x9 sets we’ve gotten in the past.

I'm not sure how that detracts from what I said on how the songs are just remixes in Eden's Gate for a few of them. You get free 89 gear in Sharlayan. Every expansion after heavensward has used reskinned gear. We saw this in ShB, and people complained back then, to then forget it it seems. They complained about it in Stormblood as well.

At least the re-skins we're seeing released they updated the textures on for a few of them. I'm not denying it was done, but it's always been done.

You’re saying how the content is on par with other expansions when that isn’t true. We’ve seen the most reused gear this expansion release than on any other expansion release. This expansion they couldn’t even bother to role swap or make the reused gear dyable. The 89 gear we get is af gear, but that doesn’t warrant missing out on an entire left side gear piece. That’s a loss in content compared to previous expansions. As for the songs it doesn’t change the fact we only got 2 songs for Pandaemonium, with one of them being a remix of the other and the savage version of the 4th fight not even having a song transition.Eden at least had 5 songs, some of them remixes or not and had a song transition for savage.

How can you say that, when the expansion has just come out though? And I'm able to dye the re-used gear, very odd... At least the stuff that used to come from Siren. And yes, there's less music, but we kinda know why on that aspect. I'd rather take quality over quantity especially in that regard.

Honestly, it feels almost just like the need to complain over trivial things, to then neglect the good things that are new. I just find that odd. Plus the earlier misinformation on how servers work, may have shifted my attitude to people just complaining to complain.

Oh so you can dye the level 87 dungeon gear? I’m so happy you were able to solve this problem everyone has had. Just because it’s trivial to you doesn’t mean it’s trivial to others, also what’s the excuse for the music? They have other composers, they’re even credited in the credits of the game. The expansion has just come out yes but i’m comparing to previous expansion releases. Hence why i also compared this raid tier’s music to last expansions first raid tier music. The missing gear set is also still applicable. Personally i’m just not okay with us getting less so far while the company continues to make mass amounts of money.

So, from what I'm finding out, just that dungeon the gear cannot be dyed. Possibly an overlook? What I'd assume at least and nothing really to complain about atm imho. And due to the issues Soken had, while also being the lead music creator for the game, I think your other question is answered fairly simply in that regard. Yes they have other composers, but they tend to follow the lead of Soken to keep to theme etc.

All things that can be fixed later if absolutely needed, especially the fact one dungeon set is undyable atm.

Strange because I thought Ruby Sea was the worst zone I have ever seen in basically any MMO I have ever played. It would be wise to review what is coming in 6.1 before going off on this odd tangent. Radz alone makes every other city in the MMO look small...Sharlyan is very big also compared to crap like Rhalgrs Reach which was needlessly spread out.

6.1 has a new Ultimate, deep dungeon and Island Expeditions, world server visit and the new pvp mode.
