So how is everyone feeling about Occult Crescent now that it’s been a few days?

I played it day one and after 6 or so hours I had three atma. I took a break because honestly I thought it was quite boring. Nothing you do in there carries over outside of OC so I have no interest in knowledge level or phantom jobs. I just wanted the relic for glam purposes. Today I had a lot of free time and after 12 hours and no atma to show for it I’m just going to sit this relic out. The thing I like about Cosmic Exploration is how you can see your progress, there’s no RNG involved, I don’t know why they didn’t do something similar. How is everyone else feeling about OC?

Its boring. The devs are so out of touch. I don't know what kind of player OC is for.
The content is boring for high-end raiders, and yet its way too grindy to be considered casual.
There's multiple layers of RNG on top of eachother.
They don't explain the overworld chest system which is going to lead a lot of people to grind mindlessly and hit 12 stacks of phantom mastery with 0 Atherspun Gold which means they can't get +2 gear

Its boring.

Not to me.

The devs are so out of touch.

I mean, players cried out for a Field Operation and relic grind on these forums throughout Endwalker. Then Zepla made a video, which gave Yoshi-P the final push to resume adding them. So I'd say their in touch in that particular aspect at least.

I don't know what kind of player OC is for.

People who like Field Operations, large-scale social content and grinds to work on.

The content is boring for high-end raiders

*Certain high-end raiders, maybe? Depends how the individuals' dopamine system works, it seems.

and yet its way too grindy to be considered casual.

I've only gone in there for 2 or 3 hours a day (and skipped some days). A casual player could do that. And I'm nearly done with the CE grinds and have all the Atma... 3 weeks is about all it takes at that pace.
