Thread: My own thoughts on 7.3 patch (Spoiler)

I also really have enjoyed 7.3 so far!

I just completed the story Trial this morning along with the dungeon. Due to work I still need to wrap up the MSQ tonight and probably unlock the 24 man this weekend.

I found the writing to be much better along with the scene direction. I personally enjoy the cast as I love Sphene and all my favorite Scions were here. I could of course do without any Wuk Lamat or the child, but overall their presence was fine to me. I even brought Wuk Lamat with me in the dungeon, since I felt she was a much better a character in 7.3 who didn't annoy me, and it made sense for the story. Normally I avoided her at all costs until 7.3. Learning the fate of Krile's parents was really nice, if sad. I am happy with the dialogue option I had chosen for it.

The MSQ had some emotional moments and I even found the dungeon emotional in how we were battling the memories of people who lived that were not necessarily evil - I could feel a bit of what Sphene was probably feeling in the dungeon. The after-trial cutscene was also really great. The Scions appeared useful and competent, Sphene & Wuk Lamat got key moments to shine as story leads but ultimately the WoL alone stood tall and stood above the entire cast as I like and as I feel is earned given our role in this epic tale.

I appreciated the efforts to add puzzles and also better directed cutscenes were people do more than stand motionless. The dungeon mechanics were also fun my first time and it also took me a few tries to understand what was happening during Boss 2 (I didn't realize we have to kill the heater thing for a few tries).

I feel we are going in a better direction after my great disappointment with 7.0 and indifference towards 7.1.
