Island Sanctuary at Max Rank should give you something for Cosmic Exploration

[DamianFatale]

If they are going to discontinue the Island Sanctuaries major updates, they should give you a reward for maxing it out, which could be used in the Cosmic Exploration.

Obviously, it wouldn't be anything that isn't cosmetic. Some thoughts on what it could be:

- Island Sanctuary inspired cosmetic skins for buildings.

- Unlocked Island Sanctuary landmarks for landmark spots.

- A small landmark thing in a unique spot separate from other landmarks, that could be toggled. Perhaps some kind of statue commemorating completion of the island sanctuary. It could also serve as a "trophy system" showing off various achievements from the game. Imagine if you could pick different statues displaying unique achievements.

I.e. Defeated an ultimate raid, so you get its statue in your statue spot. Completed Island Sanctuary. Completed the Bozja storyline. Beat Eurekas secret raid. Completed the Doman restoration. etc.


Things that are purely decorative, but would be an incentive to show off having your island sanctuary finished. ;3

No thanks. Island Sanctuary hasn't been good since the patch it got introduced, everything they ever added was more of the most boring side of the system.

Having it directly affect any other systems would be horrid.

They don't usually link prior expansion systems to the new ones. I doubt it's going to end up any different.

People misunderstanding my thread. I never said that it had to be something beneficial to the cosmic exploration. I just want that to have something cosmetic linked to the island sanctuary, for those who took the time to do it. Anyone can go back and complete it if they desire to. There would be nothing stopping you.

Would be cool to be acknowledged In the upcoming version if they basically aren’t going to update Island Sanctuary any longer. I want the progress I made to matter in some meaningful cosmetic way, though preferably optional. Y’all are just unable to grasp my point, and look silly In the process.

We could make the same arguments about Eureka and Bozja. Where is the recognition in other content that I grinded all the way to level 60 in Eureka and to max rank in Bozja?

we technically got that in the form of glamour, mounts and emotes that we unlocked along the way. At best things that we can hope for is any returning NPC recognising us in some one off line if we did other stuff

We got mounts and glamour from Island Sanctuary too.

You're not building a town in that content. There is no player driven progress in a constructed biome.

Unlocking the different sections is slightly. But you've edited your post to reflect it anyway.

There is no guarantee that Cosmic Exploration will be personal progress, because it could be like the Firmament since it is going to be more social. It remains to be seen whether the progress even is something you only see on your character or whether everyone sees it like how the Firmament became.

So far it seems like we will get seasons similar to the Firmament, except instead of building different sections we visit different planets. Unless they make us progress through these seasons like Bozja and Eureka areas so that we can still experience them further into the expansion.

I hope it's personal dictated growth but community dictated maximum growth. So when the content is fresh you can't hit rank 2 until the community busts that cap open, which will take substantial resources (like firmament did); however, YOUR zone is rank 1 until you complete the transition. If you're doing this content live, you'll transition as a community, if you're doing it late, you'll get the whole story smoothly and orderly.

There also might be phased sections too, if that's possible, such that we're all working together but my choices might not be yours- at least in specific areas. Little bit like how in WoW the farm is in the zone and is phased to you. Maybe for example we all work together to build a tavern but I choose to place Stevie Bevie instead of the community top pick McWonderCluck. You pick the Firmament Blacksmith and I pick Jeweler. Etc. Which could provide differences, as an.. RPG.. :O (to that expansion would be the 'easy' choice, but it might be neat if it was like to that expansion and any level 3 FATE zone).
