You can create a .5 or .7 patch without a timegated/limited time fomo event. You could you know, just put in something that has a long goal that is open to everyone that takes time to complete that doesn’t go away in 5 weeks.
Honestly for the hate it got circes ring from the siren isle was a better event and place than anything in this going away in 5 weeks event. Dasterdly duos and visions are so dumb.
inb4 “What timegating/FOMO are you seeing? I don’t see any and I’ve played this game weekly while maintaining a constant sub for 20 years to make sure I kept up with the timegates and never got hit with the FOMO.”
Haven’t tried Duo’s yet but Horrific Visions is truly horrific. I wasn’t around when it came out so I was kinda excited to experience the past. I also enjoy the old god art and aesthetic. But playing those first couple rounds was awful and ruined the experience.
They could, but then you would still have a huge push back from ultra casuals that would actually have to play to get the rewards.
It’s a lose lose situation for them. No matter which way they go someone will still be upset.
Perfect example is Plunderstorm 1. They even gave weekly bonuses so the people that wanted to slow roll it could get it done…but there was still a huge pushback.
I survived that, got the Tshirt and by the grace of Azura managed to win a single round. This content doesn’t feel as forced and I’m all for PvE stuff unless the PvP is less try hard die hard
They know that, but they can’t do it or more like unable to do it, they run out of idea or more like have no clue on how to create content. So they end up just recycling old content, re-skin old content or make a water down of an old content idea.
Why wouldn’t they? Since DF we’ve gotten “grind some mobs and fill a bar on a timer”-events basically every single patch and minor patch and people claim that they’re having an absolute blast and every new event is absolutely phenomenal.
