Thread: Is 7.2 the last patch to even save Dawntrail at this point?(SPOILERS AHOY)

Hooray! Everyone is happy!"

It sounds outlandish, but everything about late Endwalker and Dawntrail compared to what came before has been pretty outlandish in how stupid things have gotten, so...

The big thing that grated me a lot was their focus on NOSTALGIA. They ripped XIV a new one in Post-Patch Endwalker with that, and it's basically "insert Trial Series Story here" without any build-up for Dawntrail(mind, that build-up for DT was A SINGULAR PATCH). Also, the bar's in the f***ing ground. I don't know how much more there is to ask at this point because if they go below that, then the game's going to die harder than WoW's BFA did when they screwed up big time.

While I think we need to restore that map cause it was one of the very vew interesting places I do think there need to be consequences.
Cause what we did was so un-WoL and un-Scions due to the author wanting to hamer forward his bad story.

However that means acknowledging that it was a mistake and dumb as it had not yielded any results in regards to dealing with Sphene.
Cause we should have ways to solving the issue or alternatives as WoL and our Archon Scion friends.

There's the issue tho. That idea was, as everything in DT, Wuk Lamat's and we all know the writer is allergic letting her play second fiddle or have flaws.
So by that aloone I think they'll either ignore the zone or just snap it back and everything will be a-okay in Disneyland that is DT yet again.

Seriously this writer is so terrible.

I'm probably going to tune out 7.2 regardless. As soon as it starts going back into "Talk to Wuk Lamat" constantly like 7.0 and 7.1 I'm just zoning out and going on autopilot.

for me overall DT was good.

Classes- ok
fights - OK
MSQ- meh. repetitive and predictable and let me guess.. ASCIANS!!

easy.

Classes 9/10, Fights 10/10, Msq 6.5/10. Final= 8.5

Meh doesn't mean 0 and okay doesn't mean 5.

Fights where partner stacks can be lived solo by dps/healers easily on day 1 objectively makes the fights not a 10/10. The pictomancer balance issue objectively makes classes nowhere near a 9/10.
