Thank you SE, i cant even get into my FC zzz

Is this why I am also unable to get into my cottage? If so, it is rather bizarre to link all these features and not provide resources to deal with the server load.

It looks like once you advance enough you can have the mammets take care of things. Unsure just how completely.

Yeah that's a plus thus far. Happy with that.

Now all they gotta do is let you exchange tokens for pure white/jet black dyes.

The sanctuary is really enjoyable. I think I am done with it until tmrw when the 12 hour build time is done on my latest construct.

It feels very much like a lighter version of what Lost Ark offers as its own equivalent to Island Sanctuary. Yet over there not only can you place furniture in Lost Ark's version there's the option to invite and place NPC's that you befriend during the game's story as well.

I hope future patches add more things to do and that more rewards are offered that aren't overly 'cutesy'. Once you're done with the initial introduction it very quickly becomes another gated daily chore with lengthy timers and a steep grind. I was hoping for more opportunities for direct engagement.

Maybe they could add a cave that you descend and fight enemies like in Stardew Valley...?

i hope there's a way to upgrade resource yields because this is hell i've walked into

I was hoping that we can decorate/build everything to our likings, but noooope!
Still the music is nice so far, it's a good place to pass time while waiting for static/friends/que etc.

If it's our very own island why can't we build a house to live in?. Not talking about the huts with mammets in them.


Personally, I expected more of a paradise and it also seems to be a missed opportunity for an extra house (instanced housing), it definitely feels very basic, the beaches are mostly great but we cannot access the entire map which is a pity, being our island in its entirety should allow us to stand everywhere.


I wanted it to be more like "Breath of the Wild" where one can go wherever one can see, sadly not on the Island Sanctuary but I guess SE can always improve it.


The Island Sanctuary could also become a much needed housing alternative with an aetheryte to teleport there directly.

Pretty exciting to me that this is apparently just the start of it. Devs said that they will be adding more onto the Island Sanctuary every other major match. Though as I took the day off from work to play today I can tell you, you cant really no life it as there are timers for building new structures. This is something thats meant to be a daily log in for a half hour, kinda thing.

Devs themselves have directly stated they DO NOT want Islands to be a replacement for housing. Plus they said this is something that will be added onto every other patch. This being the initial release of it, I was expecting it to feel a bit barebones at first.

Everyone knows what they have said already. It's just that we think think they are wrong / misguided / etc.
