They have to suspend sales again because the game is too successful for their servers.
Endwalker has a 92/9.5 metacritic score.

Yet again, it’s my civic duty to remind you all that this is coming from the same guy who bought Fallout 76 n turned its thread into an adventure diary to inform us all about shit like how he had to eat crayons because he couldn’t figure out how to milk a deathclaw and whatnot.
Before you shit on the big tiddie animu waifus you need to find Jesus, and repent for your sins.

“Fallout 76 was better than…”, what else is there to say? It’s not like you need to be a fucking psychiatrist to diagnosis this shit as some fucked up mental disorder. The dude needs professional help. Fast.

Eh. Meh.
The gameplay gets weaker every expansion. If the experience for a beginner progressing through those early dungeons was bad in Shadowbringers, it's even worse now. Everything just melts, it went from "there's way less challenge than before" to "there's no challenge". Then you hit the magic level 81 dungeon and suddenly need to know what your buttons do.
MSQ's gameplay was even worse than usual. An escort quest or two isn't bad, but the entire expansion was littered with them. And generally I felt I didn't take my weapon out that often. Let me play please, and not just in instanced fights.
The jobs feel good though, I'm glad the pointless meters got removed from Black Mage and Dragoon.
Without spoiling too much, Shadowbringers had a really good story, and fleshed out the Scions and Ascians as actual characters.
And I know there were the 'rona restrictions and everything. But Endwalker mostly fell flat for me. Wasn't feeling it.
I got what they were going for, but the execution often wasn't that great. Too hamfisted, too nostalgia driven. And I know this was the expansion that "had to" wrap up many of the storylines, Garleans and Ascians, but the pacing was often just too fast.
It really was more like Stormblood. Too many places with their own big stories, without focus. Going to Sharlayan should have been huge, but it's two areas you're in for just a couple of hours, and Garlemald was even worse. These are places we've heard about and have remained relevant since level 5 or something, such a disappointment.
One exception was the level 85-87-ish? area. Clearly made with love, where you could see it was focused on by everyone in the dev team, and took its time making you feel part of it. That was great from start to finish.
I give it a "you can't buy it, and they gave me 21 extra days to congest the servers further" out of 10.

i've played a bit of this and all it does is remind me that mmos are a shitty genre. awkward controls and ui for no reason, always. it's just weird.
I would buy a single player adaptation of this game. Cut out all the shitty random quests and padding, and while you gonna still get the mmo style main quests, it'd be worth it because i legiy thought it has the best art direction and music

I play PSO2 and going to this game just makes me wonder why it couldn't be more like that. The mechanics don't even need to change much, I just want a control scheme that feels natural and intuitive. Mouse buttons to attack, always mouse-look, no clicking on shit in the world, etc. I don't know if there's a magic setting I missed, but with the defaults it's like trying to play an action game inside a strategy game. Which I guess is what world of warcraft was trolololololo

In the last producer live cast, they announced that they'll make the main story quest up the the latest expansion de facto solo content by expanding the "trust system" (NPC group members) to all story dungeons. So if you want to experience the story part of the game in a single player experience, you will be able to in the next couple of patches.
Anyone still playing? Got a few Codex members to play with new chars on Twintania. Would be cool to get a Codex Free Company going.

New patch was predictably... "okay". 5/10. Not an inspiring start. Will see where the next one goes.
