Thread: Patch 8.0 - How long is too long to wait?

The patch cycles already feel long enough, if they came out and said it will be end of 2027 that they will release the expansion I would consider just stopping playing until closer to expansion release, if it’s still of any interest to me of course.

The fact it’s only coming in the final patch kinda sucks, but if they had actually shown us pretty much anything about the job, let us know what the issues were and how they intend to address them, even just like a basic concept of what to expect lol

Yeah we haven’t gotten so much as a tease of what the job will look like, how it will play, what the job icon will be or even any artwork!

But one of the things that really bugs me is that I’ve been capped on Poetics all expansion. I could have been using those, over the patches, getting tome gear sets for every 10 levels of BST. But we don’t even know what gear category it’s going to fall into.

Yeah, given how long it’s been since it was announced it’s honestly kinda crazy that we’ve had literally nothing about it. As you say we don’t even know what kind of gear category it’ll fall under. Even if we took the ‘most likely option’ with it as some kind of melee dps, is it striking/maiming? Or maybe it’ll end up being a phys ranged. We have absolutely no idea because they’d told us nothing lol.

I think it’s worth mentioning as well that things like that can actually ‘incentivise’ the wait. Like if we knew more about Beastmaster we could start working towards like getting gear for it whatever like you say. And thus someone who might have felt they had nothing much to do could’ve at least engaged themselves with ‘preparing as fully as possible’ for when it does arrive. I mean, not to say that suddenly the game would be full of content if they instantly gave us all the info, but like it’s much harder to justify sticking around when you either have no idea of what’s coming (BST) or what’s coming is so predictable you know exactly what it’ll be ahead of time and there’s mostly no prep required (I.E dungeons)

Anything later than January 2027 IMO.

The game just really needs more things to do between patches.

Amount of people complaining in this thread about lack of content, who don't even interact with some of the main content of the game. No wonder SE doesn't listen when there is all these "no content" moaners, who don't even play the main content of the game.

And that main content is... what exactly? Because for me there really is nothing left to do, even the MSQ fell off hard during Shadowbringers and everyone is always telling me Endwalker and Dawntrail suck anyway, so why even bother with the story anymore?

I don't think they actually know what that main content is.. Nor do I really think they are in a position to try and lecture people about "Playing the main content".

I don't even think they realize what complaints most people are actually making for that matter. . .
