Thread: 6.2...thats it?

6.2 brings something new of value to do every week. Whether that be savage raids or just the weekly weapon token from the normal version of 8th circle. New extreme trial. Entirely new gear tier - so there's a point to capping tomestones weekly. Island Sanctuary.

If your "thing" is the gear treadmill, every even number patch is huge and gives you something to do for months.

Well that's just blatantly incorrect. We'll have Savage next week, and then nothing until 6.25 comes out 2 months from now. And I find it rather convenient that they hold back the rest of the 6.2 content until half way through the sub period between main patches...

All this fuss over 15$ / month. A sub here is probably the least expensive thing people got going. If it's that much of a problem, something needs to be sorted out in their life.

This is true. You can never please everyone. Imo the patch so far (since we haven't got all yet) seems pretty solid.

Oh so the whole argumenet boils down to "I wanna play an MMO only 1 month a year" which....
1- is not how MMOs work
2- if everybody was like you they'd have failed financially 9 years ago

MMOs give you content in a way to keep you playing all year around and always subbed/logging (yes, mmos without a sub do the same, they even have login rewards to keep you logging every single day). If you wanna burn huge amounts of content all at once and then leave, maybe offline games are more your thing.

YoshiP begs to differ.

Yoshida "It's alright not to play it everyday. Since it's just a game, you can stop forcing yourself if it's hard on you to keep that up. Rather, it'll just pile up unnecessary stress if you limit yourself into playing just that one game since there are so many other games out there. So, do come back and play it to your heart's content when the major patch kicks in, then stop it to play other games before you got burnt out, and then come back for another major patch. This will actually make me happier, and in the end, I think this is the best solution I can answer for keeping your motivation up for the game."

You can sub once per major patch like Yoshi-P suggests even though some things are released in 6.25. Just do it in 6.3, it's side content anyways. They are not going to design things to be as convenient as possible for people who only sub for 3 months out of a year.

Oh of course, people keep bringing up that quote for whatever
Yoshi-P never said:we're only gonna do an update a year, with all the content dumped at once, so you only need to play once a year. Content patches are made so to keep people engaged and spread the content out. Housing timers also make it so that people stay subbed.
Otherwise they could just sell expansions, put the whole expansion there without doing any other patch, and make people only play 1 month every few years and done. Lovely, eh?
Taking breaks is very different from asking the game to drop all content at once instead of requiring you to be subbed for more thna one month at a time.

You completely missed the point.
