Is DT over yet

7.3 was very satisfying for me, personally. Wuk Lamat and Sphene still got their "big damn moment" (which is fair to do for the plot built up and they do have genuine fans) but there were so many signs of attention and care put into this patch.

We weren't stuck experiencing everything through Wuk, they only put 20 seconds of Smile into a cutscene for one moment, they had puzzles, it was a lot of story, cutscenes were chock full of specially tailored animations.

Wuk Lamat and Sphene are now sitting on their thrones with satisfying conclusions and we're left to move on to the next big thing.

The Winterers do intrigue me. Why was Calyx supported by an Ascian when his plan didn't line up with the Convocation? Why are they trying to achieve immortality by any means necessary?

I'm already theorizing maybe they're trying to beat the inevitable heat-death. That was really the only one we couldn't help with toughing it out and finding meaning. A team of villains trying make a way for people to endure beyond the eternal winter.

I really enjoyed the story at first with the investigation and the special instance with the mini puzzles. The vibe was here, the mood was good.
After that though, we were back to shounen writing and cringy lines. And an epilogue that seemed to never end zzZzzz

Can't wait too move on from this xpac... when is 8.0... /cry

I really hope the devs can move on from the tome gear grind...
the awful story
the boring game as a whole...

Dawntrail had some hiccups (especially during early 7.0) storywise, but the later MSQ, and the post patch MSQ has been as good, if not better, than what we had in other expansions.
7.3 was stellar, the

puzzle section

was amazing, for instance, and very innovative.

Well... its not convulsive them, could be pulling a KH and having someone else wearing the robes. As for 8.0, I dont have high hopes, considering theyre already having issues getting things done, there is just too massive a list of changes/fixes folks want see, to really address at this point... Theyd really have to pull something out of their asses, do some massive hiring or bring in another branch of SE.

[RedLolly]

Didn't they literally say they want to move away from the Ascians? I am believing I heard something like that during Fanfest or Live Letters.

Just the opposite, actually. They reminded us we haven't actually dealt with them all.

You are the hero we all needed.

Balance has been restored to the plot.

Wait, are you suggesting devoting an entire season of Game of Thrones to how best to have fun roasting marshmallows and singing kumbaya at summer camp with your besties might not be totally in keeping with the themes and caliber of the genre? Le gasp!

I think this image alone has more symbolic impact than the entire expansion. Dispelling the blissful naivety of childish things may not be pretty, but it is necessary if we are to grow. Bravo!

The amount of people I saw desecrate the wuk corpse with various emotes was a funny way to end the MSQ
