Finally something to be hyped about

[Jeeqbit]

This is what's actually new. You're welcome.

No, the variant dungeons are also new. It's 3 new difficulty levels. It would have been simpler for them to be named Normal, Extreme and Savage.

Just because we normally get all of the other content I listed, doesn't meant that the content is not new. It is a new dungeon, it is a new set of savage raids and it is a new extreme trial.

What he means is that content that is new to the normal patch cycles. here me out. We already know that we get a new dungeon always tied to the story, a new trial, etc. all we get is the same old things that no one is surprised about them, however adding the savage dungeons that we have been waiting for and after many interviews with streamers we finally getting this after they said they could not "implement" is something new that might help with the down time in major cycle

I know what was meant, but it doesn't change the fact that the content is new. It's not a new content type, but to ignore the fact that it is new artwork, new fights, new models and new level design is unfair. People's complacency and bitterness has caused them to overlook the fact that the content they are used to getting is still new. New content is good.

New dungeon.
New trial.
New variant dungeon.
New criterion dungeon.
New criterion dungeon (savage).
New raids.
New savage raids.
And a lot of other things such as popular quests and a beast tribe.
New relics.

But I have no doubt people on these forums will find a way to say there is less content.

The only new content is the criterion and variant dungeons from the norm patch content to be fair, remains to be seen if these will be challenging/long lasting content however

Island Sanctuaries
New Unreal trial
New PVP Season (probably with new arenas?)

And stack that on top of 6.1 features for the average player that didn't do all of them fully yet.

I dunno if I'd count unreals or a new pvp season as new content really worth caring about tbh, especially without knowing what pvp is going to bring. Counting 6.1 content is just silly, for obvious reasons.



This part is just a general reply. Actual new types of content seem to be mostly all really cool ideas, but I dunno why people are jumping to conclusions when we've not even seen any of it in game. Like savage dungeons is something people have wanted for ages, but nobody has any idea what they think should qualify as savage in four man content. Doomposting or smugposting this early is dumb.

already more than the entirety of ShB

Island Sanctuary seems very extensive. It could be an entirely separate game and sell well on its own.

I am going to be very cautious with Island Sanctuary. It could be an interesting thing to do but I don't know what their goal with it is other than as solo side content with a bit of socialization if you want. Seems like it is meant to be self-contained which may or may not appeal to a lot of players.

Can't judge anything until it's all released. Savage dungeons sound fun though. They haven't really made hard modes of dungeons since HW right? And most of the current "hard" mode dungeons are all super disappointing due to power creep.

To be fair the "Hard" dungeons are hard in name only as a new version of the older dungeon. They were never meant to be difficult content.

I look forward to Island Sanctuary. Seems like an improved version of Ishgard restoration which was fun to do casually. Rewards you can grind at your own pace are nice.
