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

The Pictomancer balance issue. In that one niche Ultimate fight? The balance issue where in every other bit of content its close to the other casters too? That balance issue? Could it be that FRU is the thing that isn't balanced?

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

...what? Did you even play Dawntrail? The Ascians had nothing to do with anything in the MSQ.

They haven't been present in the MSQ since 6.0. If they show up in the future, fine, but you made it sound like part of why DT's story was so boring and predictable was because of the Ascians showing up, when that isn't the case. We haven't seen them in the story for three years now.

On the surface, no... but........... did we find out what happened to all of them and what their mission was?

now an honest question have you been paying attention to the story overall at all and how they operated? Did you even remember how Hades masterminded everything?

Valid for @HyperiusUltima as well. So short sighted..

He has a point. Ascians were by no means even INVOLVED with Dawntrail whatsoever. The only thing that we have is just Azem's Relic I assumed and we haven't even been explained to what it does yet other than travel between shards - WHICH WE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE.

Oo
Healers and Ranged Physical, still screwed up and complety forgotten.
half of the magical screwed up or completly forgotten.
1 melee screwed up, 1 made braindead at 7.0, another one one patch later and another one 3 patch later.
Tank are never been this OP
1 job just completly OP.

So hmmm... Where is jobs ok?
DT is the worse we ever got jobs wise.

I'm not expecting anything out of this writing team. Dawntrail is over writing-wise, it can't be salvaged. Best thing they can do is take a knee and start writing on 8.0, just wrap up and make the rest of Dawntrail as inoffensive to worldbuilding and lore as possible.

But let's complete the bingo card of what they COULD do to ruin it.

- Include Ascians and spam Emetts music at you and flashbacks for nostalgia brownies, maybe flashback to Emett or Venat's face to really drive it in.
- Resurrect the "good sphene" AI-part. Instead of the actual body in stasis-Sphene I hope they are going for.
- Make Wuk Lamat a scion
- Mention Dynamis ever again and shoehorn it back into being the deus ex machina travesty it is for the writers
- Resurrect all the "memories" in the last zone, in some asspull "happy ending for all" just like how they resurrected the dead planets population to have a coffeeshop in Ultima Thule in the beast tribe quests, sullying anykind of drama from the planets destroying themselves in the induced despair by Meteion.
- PLAY SMILE ever again
- Make any Scion call Wuk Lamat "Lamateeeee" again, as if she's their family.

I ADORE the Ancients and the Ascians and even I would be pissed if they pulled some crap like that. It would be rubbing salt in the wound at this point.

The content drought is extremely concerning considering this is not only a live service game but one of the only SUBBED games still operating
