[Toppy]

So um what is new content then? Because raids zones and dungeons is all wow has ever had out side of bg’s and small things like islands/senecio’s, are you waiting for more islands?

Did you not start the game till WoD or something?

Did you not start the game till WoD or something?

They should name this "New SEASON". Not new patch.

The only new CONTENT we actually get is new raid (sadly with tons used assets from Torghast, but tbh, I don't mind THAT) and new dungeon.
+ NOT even unique gear sets! But just reused/colored sets that we ALREADY have in game files ("legendary" items)

Rest is? Beyond pathetic/bad to call a new content.

"1. A New Zone - Korthia, the City of Secrets
2. New Covenant Legendaries
3. New and Revamped PvP Talents
4. New Shards of Domination System
5. Empowered Conduits
6. 10 boss raid - the Sanctum of Domination
7. 8 boss Megadungeon - Tazavesh, the Veiled Market
8. New World Boss: Mor'geth, Tormentor of the Damned in Korthia, the City of Secrets
9. Additional Torghast content, systems, and rewards
10. New Mythic+ Season, with a new affix - Tormented
11. New PvP Season with Adaptable Gear and new rewards
12. New Covenant Campaigns
13. 40 more levels of Renown
14. Unlock Flying
15. New pets, mounts, toys, transmog sets, and secrets
... and much more!"

1. Korthia is about the same size as Mechagon isle WHICH WAS ADDED AS MINI-ZONE NEXT TO NAZJATAR IN ONE PATCH!

2. Like if ANY spec will EVER use them. Maybe 1-2... Rest is worthless. Nothing NEW...

3. Minor tweaks/fixes from season 1. NOT new content.

4. NOT new content. Just corruption 2.0 which works on items ONLY from the raid.

5. LOL.... NOT new content. Just extra grind and chore which VAST MAJORITY OF PLAYERS HATE!

6. New raid = YES, this is new content.

7. New dungeon = YES, this is new content too.

8. 1 mob/world quest is new content? NOT.

9. Theres no new "content" in Torghast (from what I've seen from blue posts). Just a scoreboard which makes it even bigger pain in ass. Still didn't see the rewards. So can't judge on that. But still.... NOT/HALF new content.

10. NOT new content. Just as what I said already= new season.

11. NOT new content. (read above)

12. HALF new content because story is SUPER short.

13. This is added as an "item on the list"? It's NOT new content. It's just weekly reward from number 12.

14. THIS IS DEFINETELY NOT A NEW CONTENT! This is something they should have given us from day 1 of Betalands.

15. This is ALSO NOT NEW CONTENT. This is just a reskinned rng reward-bag from all lines above.

.... LOL.


So, overall- we have:
1 new raid, 1 new dungeon, 1 mini-zone and handful of quests in it.

And it took them ~8 months for this?

IT IS insulting.

[ohwell]

Wow, this was one of the most miserable things I've read today. You understand that I'm not happy about that right?

People who post like spoiled brats usually aren't. You think a child storming off from dinner isn't hungry? Doesn't make them seem any less like a brat though.

You're comparing a .1 patch to a .2 patch, that's your problem. So most of your points are pretty invalid.

There is no difference between "x.1" and "x.2" patch. Both are "mayor" patches, EXPECTED TO HAVE bigger amount of content.

But comparing "x.1" and "x.x.1/2/3/4....." patch is something different.

Example: 3.3 patch and 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3..... =/= 3.2, 3.3......

Actually a .1 patch usually doesn't have as much content as a .2 patch so YES there is a difference. So let's compare it to 8.1 not 8.2 like you're trying if there's no difference.....oh wait it doesn't suit your story.

for reference what exapns would you say have an non insulting amount of content for a similar time frame?

[javierdsv]

Let's be happy we are getting new stuff, better than nothing, right?
Nowhere in the terms of conditions is stated we are paying for new content every time you want it, right?

[Revamp Man]

No one cares about Boreghast. People want to spend less time in there not more. Island expeditions in a fucking tower. We all know what a great success island expeditions were!

And again

They changed the floors from 6 to 5
5-6=-1
One less floor
This means less time in the tower

Also outside of the AP grind islands weren’t being shit on

1 new raid, 1 new dungeon, 1 mini-zone and handful of quests in it.

If something isn't new because it is corruption 2.0 then how is a dungeon not the same old kill boss for loot? That is the problem. You are subjectively deciding what is and is not content based on your feelings rather then what actually is content. Most expansions have added very little if we give it the same treatment that you are giving 9.1.

[uncl55]

Omg this negativity, if you hate SL or 9.1 dont offer you something to play again then DONT! No one is forcing you.
Also what did you expect from x.2 patch? Whole new fucking Arezoth to explore? We got new Dung, Raid, quest Hub + cherry on top that evil thing that you vanilla edge lord thought ruined the game - flying.
If you hate ratail then do yourself a favor and go back to TBC snipe Asmongolds stream, everyone will be better.

They need to speak with their wallets but they think sperging on fan forums is effective

A lot of people speak with their wallets though. There are posts here all the time about people unsubbing but they tend to hang around and see what's going on

[Mendzia]

I really feel like this patch will be crucial for many (still) playing the game.
I am very curious the opinions but not within 1 week when everything is new and shiny but after ~2 months.

[GreenJesus]

Lmao they see people leaving the game in droves and the patch likely isn't fully tested but hey! Release the patch so they can try and drag people back for a month.

They probably saw even Asmongold talking about playing FF14.

[TheRevenantHero]

They probably saw even Asmongold talking about playing FF14.

Asmongold won't be playing FFXIV for too long. The GMs don't deal with toxic people like and he'll likely get banned after being a dick to people.

Those assumptions are as bad as the good expansion - bad expansion theories.

Major patches can come with a lot of content or very limited content regardless of wheter they are .1, .2, .3 or whatever.

Unsubbing then sperging “omg dead game puwlz” is retarded

When is the last .1 patch that came with a new zone?
When is the last .2 patch that didn’t have a new zone?

[Wangming]

Only LFR. The other difficulties are a week or two.

And why those two weeks?
