Unpopular opinion on island sanctuarys.

It is dead end content with no real meaning or progression or lasting impacts on the game.

You go around clicking 1 node at a time for hours on end, Even upgrading your Tools to a higher tier doesn't help gathering.

You fill out your supply sheet for 2 weeks and then visit it once per day to harvest crops, tend to animals and send followers out on missions (Lmao garrisons anyone).

Gameplay wise, some people will enjoy this, i won't deny that. Personally, i find this incredibly boring when there is already a better Gathering/Crafting system in the game tied to actual progression.

Will i continue doing island sanctuary? yes, but only checking it once per day until i get bored of doing even that.

Daily 'Chores' are something i try to escape from in MMO's, The only good thing is i can drop it at any point and not have it affect my characters progression.

Just think of all the time and resources that went into making this.

Instead of instanced housing.

At least the existence of Island Sanctuary proves any "technical limitation" excuses they give regarding instanced housing as total lies.

Except they're not "total lies." You know the whole "I can't get into anything because the server is congested"? Yep. That's a limitation. What they've shown is that they're actually spot on point with the valid reasons they've given for instanced housing being problematic.

You can't seriously compare an island with everything predetermined and 0 customization to housing. I'd put islands more in a similar category to inn rooms and squadron barracks.

Only if your database solution makes COBOL TUB files look good. (I may not be that old but my teachers were).

Regardless I think "lie" is a bit strong. IMO, and yes there's some very strong hopium here, I think IS is a testbed for the tech that will run a future instanced housing implementation.

Well this content is the one single most bad thing they did for this game. Why they invested time in it over instanced houseing that people wanted? It's like yoshi say F you to players. He for years say they can't do it but then here a system that 1 step from being just this. Now if at last this was something relevant to the game. But no it a game in a game. That is so boring I don't think any one even test played. 100% Shure yoshi did not as he don't care.

Speak for yourself. This is my favorite thing that has ever been added to the game.
