Island sanctuary doesn't feel right.

[Jengo_Gonar]

Hello guys!

I just wanted to ask: is it my isle or it is an isle for the mammets?

I didn't see the live letter so, I kind of expected it to be a sanctuary for me to just get there and relax. Instead I get "you, fleshling minion! Go get us stuff so we can work!" Like, nah... no my thing. I rather Administrate those things than having them to administrate what I do.

Also it is rather not convenient to get there: yes I know it is not hard to talk to an npc so they create the instance for me, but couldn't it be just an item to use too?

Tataru promised me a paradise, the mammets just want me to work for them. Well, I guess my island will stay wild until the mammets decide to work by themselves, lol.

Well, that was my ranting.

Good day!

Rank up your island. You will understand later xD

It's a small factory to produce the currency for the rewards vendor. Nothing more. Once you're fully ranked you never even need to leave the base camp area.

I think that's the point, however. Its backwards. Its an island for mammets. Think about it. After you bust your rump collecting for all the facilities they're back at your home base having a party, hanging out in the tree house. Try getting rid of them so you can enjoy your hot tub. You can't. They're like a bad rash.

Only after you wear yourself out for them, they take pity on you and decide to help you gather.

Once you have a buffer of 100 of each material, all animals and fully upgraded structures, you can just use the Granary to get everything. The mammets make it more casual-friendly because you can pay them to maintain it for you if you can't login every day, or you can do it yourself.

Well, the Island was advertised as "Your own personal Island for relaxing and easy content"
What we got was "Tataru's Mammet sweatshop where you have to manage it for her"

Not sure if the devs are just that out of touch but Island Sanctuary is the biggest example of this game missing the mark I've seen in a long while.

One can certainly make the Island your own personal nightmare by trying to obtain everything in the shortest period of time.

Or, one can take time, play around with the easy content. Having spent the first six months after starting the game in hotels with 'iffy' Internet, crafting and gathering was a quiet way of spending the evening during the week, with actual 'dungeon instance' gameplay relegated to the weekends. The Island is pretty reminiscent of those days.

One does not have to become a billionaire for the Island to hold interest. I've seen a number of comments about the lack of "content". Content that was rushed through based on Fear of Missing Out, it looks to me.

While you will get kicked out if you go AFK, you can log out on the island and find yourself back there when you log back in. You also get kicked out of dungeons after a certain period of time. An instance is an instance is an instance ...

Plus, it's a pretty nice place to go and watch a sunset on an otherwise off day in-game.

The issue isn't speed or difficulty, it's that the end result of the tasks you're working on don't feel satisfying.

We were told to expect a slow-paced setting on a farm. We got a factory and a whole lot of mammets in hi-vis vests and hard hats, occupying every building and ruining the mood, doubly so when they keep talking about how good it is to cut down the trees and how much they hate nature on this wild natural island I would have preferred to keep in its starting state. (Still build stuff of course, but more eco-resort than factory town.)

The farm part itself feels neglected, too. I've said before, the animals should be kept in varied environments that suit them, with shelter and food, not dumped out on an empty field.

I did take my time and got everything at my own pace (or everything that I wanted, anyways). Doesn't change the fact that it's a right click simulator on par with Cookie Clicker. It definitely felt more like a chore to me than anything else after a while, and overall, it's just super... lacking.

Before you/anyone says I rushed, I really didn't lol. It took me weeks to even get to rank 10, and I picked it up whenever I felt like it. I'm not really grinding it out other than every couple of weeks.

And as for it being my "personal island", there's really nothing personal about it at all. You can't customize it, can't play your own music (unless it's bugged, whenever I tried to set a song it would reset to the default island music whenever I would come back in next time). Once you max out everything, actually going *into* the island is more or less not needed. There's nothing really.. personal or relaxing about it, IMO.

What does that have to do with anything I said?

The Island is unrewarding if you do it in a week or a month, you do not get to add any of your own personal touch to it, you go to it to manage Tataru's mammet sweatshop, and then you leave.

What was advertised was not what was delivered.
