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

Why are people moaning about the Story, people hating Wuk Lamat and simps for Emet Selch. This expansion is actually better than EW at the same point as we have slightly more content, and the MSQ is literally 1% of the game and is always the same go from A to B and watch cutscene then more cutscenes then the eventual dungeon (and DTs dungeons and trials were bangers). Literally what they need to do now on though is introduce the relic/exploration zone and variant/criterion in a half patch between the Savage and X.1 and huge improvement. But seriously get over the story its fine Wuk just replaced Alphinaud

I feel with an opening like this that you're a dangerous person to try and have an intelligent discussion with, but I'll try anyway. I'm bored.

Spoken like a true WoW player. FF14 has always advertised itself as a story based MMORPG. There's a reason why you have to progress the story to get to the endgame and go from expansion to expansion--level cap isn't sufficient. Solo duties used to be more common in SHB, STB, and HW, in between the "point A to point B". Maybe for you that doesn't matter much, but shockingly, a lot of people who play a story based MMO want the story to be...good. Novel concept, I know.

That's why people are bitching about the story. Because it sucks. Because the pacing is off and the character writing was off, and the plot wasn't something people enjoyed. Someone who views the hours of cutscenes as 1% of the experience probably won't understand that, though.

Also the dungeons are not "bangers". Some of the boss fights are interesting, but the trash pulls are some of the most boring prefabricated, cookie cutter nonsense we've seen. There's not a single one of "those pulls" where you're not sleepwalking through it all. The raid fights are good, I'll give you that. Broken clock is right twice a day, after all.

They do need to do that. And it's a legitimate problem that the hardcore progression chads have gotten multiple releases for their content, while the casuals that still make the bulk of the expansion are still waiting for literally all of this.

I don't know where you've been but Alphinaud had a pretty good character arc that's been entertaining to watch since HW (even if back then it was us enjoying Krile roasting him, and he doesn't come into his own until SHB). Also--you call people out for the story, then make no supporting arguments and go on fifteen different tangents in poorly punctuated Engrish on how they need to stuff the game full of PvE stuff and that will magically fix everything. It's a step in the right direction, but it's irrelevant to your opening statement. Have you even written a High School thesis yet, man?
