    I'd also like to point out the storyline being really, REALLY lacking.

    They didn't deliver an installment that feels fulfilling to complete, like how it was in Bozja. The whole questline is basically just exploring points of interest and then "Let's wait until we can get to the North Horn to see the actual relevant thing". There's not even a cliffhanger to make me look forward to the next one. Heck, even the Forked Tower ends up being a side-side quest.

    As I write this, I realize it's symptomatic to Dawntrail's side stories. The ones with installments just don't feel complete - The Alliance Raid, for example, parts 1 and 2 does not give the feeling of an achievement at all. Heck, much like the Forked Tower, the raids themselves are just filler, because the fights are nearly pointless, and besides Prishe, none of the bosses there are relevant to the whole thing. Feels like if I'm watching a movie divided by month-long commercials (even patches).

    Forked tower’s lore offerings basically amounting to “tower is guarded by monsters to hide a series of books you can’t even read because it’s in a dead language” is absolutely pathetic

    I guess on the one hand it’s good because it doesn’t disadvantage people who don’t do forked but on the other hand it’s pathetic for those that do

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
