Time to Quit

[Hyperia]

Looking back, the game kinda ended for me at the end of the 6.0 MSQ. At the time, I didn’t want to believe it but every subsequent patch since then is making it more and more apparent to me. I kept going on, hoping things would get better but they have not and most of my friends no longer login.

This is the first patch in 10 years that I have not bothered to login for patch day to play. I haven’t really played for weeks now. I am holding out hope that 7.0 will be worth the wait but we essentially have no content until May 2024. I’m not considering these 6.x patches significant content as I can finish them in a few hours and then go back to hibernating.

I was hoping the relic would give me some fun but I literally gasped when it was just tomes… I want to play but I can’t hit the login button… I miss my friends but there gone… I really don’t have much reason to play anymore as the current story and experience is no longer a happy and fun escape for me.

For me, it was a bad idea to center an expansion and subsequent patches around endings, depression and darkness. Not exactly the gameplay I want to experience.

Am I quitting? I don’t think so… yet… it’s just, I don’t have a reason to login.
