6.5 dissapointment

[Rikizza]

Hi, am i the only one that feels like this patch was smaller than usual? I used like 2 hours to Get it all done. I cant remember that the other patches were like that.
So little content. Im running out of things to do thats so sad bc i really like this game and wanna play it alot.

No, not really. Did you skip all the cutscenes, sidequests, the alliance raid, ex farm and Island Sanctuary ranking? I'm still farming pvp as well.

[Rikizza]

I didnt skip any cutscenes, i have done alliance raid questline, and Main questline, i think pvp is a bit boring and didnt like the rewards this time so i wont be doing a lot of that. i read the patch notes and couldnt find any more content apart from that stuff. What sidequests are you talking about?

Are we really calling the 5-10m it takes to do IS content? Unless you want to sell your soul and manually grind out the levels, there's not much there to do.

As far as ex farm goes, doing them on patch isn't for everyone unless you like the pain of getting 100 PF groups together and 50/50 chance of even clearing it. Doing it when it's not current is faster and more efficient to get mount totems.

It still takes more a lot more than a week to complete unless you stocked up on 2 weeks worth of experience from the workshop and manually grind them out.

It can be but is still content that was not done. There is also unreal that, while old content, is still fun. It feels like people are better at it now than in the past but that is probably the abundance of self-heals, abilities and extra mit like usual and red mages.

We can certainly argue "there isn't much midcore content" for people who don't do raid content, but otherwise there are still these things that keep other people busy for longer than 2 hours.

What sidequests are you talking about?

The alliance raid is actually a side quest. There is also the Custom Delivery story. The other one I was thinking of was Tataru's Grand Endeavor but that isn't until 6.55 actually, so we'll have to wait for that.

Been like that for a while now, maybe you didn't realized it because you had content from previous expansion to do before, but yes we don't get much things to do, would be ok if we had one major patch every 2 months (half of a patch every month) but sadly it's not the case.

Oh, Yea that makes sense. This is kind of sad imo. Dont other mmos have much more content added regularly? I feel like ffxiv is being left behind

A daily that takes 5-10m unless you want to no life it.

A weekly.

If you want to grind them for hours, yes.

Alliance raid story can be done in an hour or two even without skipping cutscenes. Custom Deliveries is a weekly.


So, all we really got that can be done for daily consistent rewards and doesn't involve a spreadsheet is...new season of pvp?

And if the daily were from field content people would call that content. Let's not be obtuse. It's simply a matter of what that daily happens to be not that it exists at all.
