Out of touch? PLL

[Asari5]

liking it or not isnt really the point in this discussion is it?

hildi is casual content like it or not.

on the other side i am a savage raider but i dont really like savage because of how the mechanics are designed.

and that chaotic alliance raid? (its only one fight btw so its still less than the casual normal alliance raid) you need 24 people for that. there are quite a few people who dont like that content because of that.

and byakko? we already had that fight its not new content.

i guess that means all this stuff doesnt count... we need more savage content, there isnt enough because what we get doesnt count (actually i want more midcore stuff, but this is what you people do)

we get a new extrem trial... but guess what? we already got the normal casual version of that. so its not the midies getting more, its rather like the midies getting it late.

i guess if we split story/quests from casual battle content its a whole other discussion. but i doubt we're ever gonna find a mutual opinion

i consider myself a midcore player and a casual raider... whatever that means since everyone seems to have another definition of that anyway

The MMO market needs more competition outside of brainless pvp pretty korean mmo cashgrab pay to win ones.

WoW and FFXIV can get away with stale murder and people will eat it because theres no other genre equivalent outside of niche competition.

They take too much money to make and maintain, so once these last few holdouts go dark the genre will only exist in the form of private servers.

I saw the actual PLL and I wondered why they only introduced more extreme/savage like content to do. The majority of the playerbase is casual, isn't it?
How can they forget to deliver casual content to do? Did I miss something? What do you think about this?

And are you also very unsatisfied that they had no new information regarding to the graphics update?

If you had to rate the current PPL from 1(worst) to 10(best), what would it be?

I make this thread that people can talk about the newest stuff.

ur literally getting instanced housing. thats as casual happy as it gets

No we're not. It's the same ward housing that auto demolishes in 45 days of not entering and has to be won in the lottery.

Hildibrand was funny to me until it started to mess with the integrity of the lore. And promoted itself from sidequest slapstick into relic quest and more. Because "everyone loves it so much".

Sometimes I wish I was as easily entertained by a set of jingling keys in terms of repetitive lackluster content without proper systems of progression, quest design, class design and gear design and shoddy writing.
Life would be simple.

The content drought has forced me into taking a break, possibly the first major one I have taken since the game came out a decade ago.

Going from 3 months to 4.5 along with 1 new dungeon instead of 3, everything now tied to the MSQ and no side quests anymore. Where is the relic, it used to come out in .1 patches and for the love of… if I get it via tomes again….

I now avoid the expert roulette as I do not want to play the same dungeon for 9 months straight, I can’t do savage as a new parent and my schedule is too iffy to try to clear an ex trial so that leaves me without stuff to do for probably the next year or beyond.

I also play a healer and don’t like to tank or dps so there is that problem, healers are no longer needed anymore…

So.. tldr.. lack of content and being needed means I’m on a break. I’ll logon to keep my house and access to the forms but not adding much more time to my 18,500 hours played until they add more.

It's hard to be too salty about getting 18,500 hours out of a game, to be fair. That's slightly over five hours a day, without missing a single day, for ten full years. That said, I understand that it's sad to see what feels like the end of an era for a game you've enjoyed so long.

I'm not surprised by the PLL; I imagine the 7.1 patch has been in the works since before 7.0 launched, so it was never going to address most player criticism. But I don't expect the rest of the 7.x cycle to, either, for the same reason. Ultimately it's just more stuff to sit in town and queue for, further cementing the fact that the game is more of an arena battle simulator than an MMORPG. It seems like the devs want to do more with the game, but are so locked into the formula and old, dated systems that they're not sure how to break away. I'll go for BiS for the two roles I play, since I like the group I've been playing with, but I have no interest in grinding Ultimates for months (Savage is the perfect difficulty for me), no interest in housing, etc. I'll just keep playing GW2 to get my "running around an open world with other people" fix.

This is why SE doesn't care for what complaints people have. "Taking a break but still subbing" or "being disappointed but keeping my house" is still a big win for them.

is this the new form of "just quit"?

basically you are attempting to silence anyone saying the game isnt perfect. which of course you are entitled to on public forums, but lets not sugarcoat it. you are telling people their opinions dont matter and just to quit.
