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.
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.
The content drought is extremely concerning considering this is not only a live service game but one of the only SUBBED games still operating
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.
I thought the context was that 7.0 sucked and you wanted 7.2 to be a fix to everything that went wrong. In which case I told you it isn't happening. Let me know if I got the context wrong though.
Now if you're upset because I told you something you didn't want to hear, then that's different. But Instead of getting offended at me and telling me I'm the one that doesn't understand you should say something more accurate.

Below we have a transcription of what Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida said at PAX:
- "For some players, like me, I kind of get sleepy because it's so repetitive."
7.2 being a fix for the story. I could give f all about the other stuff since we all know that's set in stone because of the Battle Team's blundering. The only thing I was a little annoyed at was how some people on the forum tend to s***post like it's Reddit, but most threads I want to at least start with some constructive discussion because majority of the time people are going to stare at the first page looking at those responses.I thought the context was that 7.0 sucked and you wanted 7.2 to be a fix to everything that went wrong.
