So uh, wheres the long lasting content?

[KizuyaKatogami]

1. It's a half patch. We never get substantial content in a half patch. Starting to think you're just a troll or incredibly new to the game and no base of information about the patch schedule. Best of luck!
2. You don't need a house if you're not playing for months on end. Sorry.

????????????? youre calling me a troll when youre literally spouting nonsense. We never get substantial content in a half patch? Wow i guess every single relic content that has come out in a half patch isnt substantial content wow. Please, fact check yourself before spouting ignorance.

"there's nothing to do"

No, there's plenty to do, there just is only a small amount added in an off cycle patch.

If you're not an achievement chaser, I get it, there's no reason to go back and do other stuff.

But I've been playing since 1.0, and there is still a giant backlog of 2.0-6.1 achievements that I am slowly picking away at.

If that's not your jam, then yeah, best to unsub and wait until 6.5 comes out and binge things all at once.

Beast tribes will take about a month to max out. Ameliance custom deliveries will take 150 days. Artificially gatekept? Yes, absolutely, because if it wasn't, people would grind them out in 24 hours and then complain that they ran out of stuff to do and didn't get any sleep.

completely different game design

tf2 is 100% multiplayer and based around short 20 minute matches. the repeatability of the game is astronomical

most people do msq once and thats it

an RPG is a different base game design than that of an MMORPG? outside of it basically being more co-op oriented it's essentially still using the same fundamentals you just have 8 different classes compared to say 4 and yet they can release DLC that lasts longer than FFXIVs expansions on release. and no we aren't gonna count withholding content or timegating as keeping players. PvP rework was a godsend for this expansion. as it actually gave people something like TF2 to do while they wait 8 MONTHS for side content thats long lasting. TF2 despite being simple has short matches that are fun and engaging don't misconstrued that part now "FUN AND ENGAGING". TF2 could have longer matches and still prolly be just as popular cause the game itself is FUN and gives people a reason to keep playing. even if you never touch the cosmetic side of TF2

You can unsub every other month. That's what I usually do, but yes, it does suck-- but also why do you need a house if you're not going to play for 2-6 months+?

Why should you lose something you worked for if you unsub or stop playing? No other game with a housing system works like this, barring ones where the acquisition is PvP based of course.

Rephrasing the question.

You guys keep saying "There's plenty to do". I'd like to ask... Is it enjoyable? Does it take up time and doesn't get done in a single day?
Because even though I take the game slowly and don't try to rush it, it really only offers me enough for 1 week at this point.

There isn't any major-scale content that isn't just "a couple cutscenes for plot, and then the actual gameplay is just opening a window and interacting with the menu". And the little major-scale content we do tend to have tends to get dropped and only be left at its barest of bones as it can. So much could have been done with Eureka and Bozja, but no, let's just make it an area for nothing but FATEs...

Is it enjoyable? Yes, but I can only respond for myself.

But just think, if you were an 'Achievment Hunter' you could unlock such amazing achievments as:

"Clear Delubrum Reginae"
or
"Clear Delubrum Reginae 5 times"
or
"Clear Delubrum Reignae 50 times"

There's also other awesome achievments, such as:

"Successfully complete 10,000 FATEs"

[KizuyaKatogami]

Love the fact how when you call out the content peopel call you a troll but when you give factual evidence contrary to their claim they cry and run away. Amazing community lmao

[Midareyukki]

Is it enjoyable? Yes, but I can only respond for myself.

I guess there's a spectrum? Like "enjoyable in the moment" or "enjoyable because you can go back in and actually explore it a bit better without it being done and over in such a short timespan like the world's most premature one-night stand"...

But eh, good answer either way.

At least they give you something if you endure that slog in PvP, at least when it comes to Seal Rock.

Everything else is just there for achievement sake. "Look, everyone. This person has beaten X content god knows how many times." Some don't even give you a title.
