What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

I wouldn't mind the specifics if you have them written down somewhere.



I felt this way about ShB as well. I let it go though. The MSQ certainly needs more gameplay (outside of dungeons/trials) across the board. They also need to condense the MSQ into less walking around and talking to xyz.

EW made it worse because you *have* to talk to xyz people while an npc was accompanying you in some quests. You can't teleport or use mounts because the npc will lose track of you and then you'll have to start from the begining with them.

While I don't think they need to get rid of the feature since it's nice to see what some of the npcs have to say, I don't think it should be mandatory to complete a quest.

Certainly not in the way it's been implemented.

Also, I'll say, although some people may have not liked it, I was glad they went with trusts for a trial. Mainly so they can section this off as the option for people who struggle with normal trial levels of difficulty/want more breathing room to take in the surroundings, and make the normal DF modes a bit less braindead.

I like it simply because it made sense. Imagine running the 87 dungeon for your first time through df instead of trusts; disgusting.

I honestly don't mind leisurely running around to get to new a location. I even liked escorting missions. It's the run to this person > then run to that person > then run back to the previous person > etc etc that aggravates me.

Just teleport me around or something. Streamline it all together into one quest. It's so moot to make us run to someone for them to have 2 seconds of dialog then run off.

Your activity stagnates the better your group is, the better geared they are because they take less damage, and the better you are. It's bad design, plain and simple. I should not get punished to wear out my 1 Key because I'm getting better at the game. I had to replace my keyboard once already and I only started at the tail end of Shadowbringers (so a year of gameplay). I can't even imagine those healers that have been playing longer than that. Honestly.

I started as healer coming from WoW and this was my first complaint. Especially as AST.

The worst of it was I started zoning out. I was so bored pushing 2 > 1 > 1 > 1 > 1 > 1 that my mind would linger. I stopped paying attention to health bars, mechanics, everything. I became a worse player over time.
