The Las Vegas Fanfest, our first of three, will be taking place this Friday! Kicking off with a 1.5 hour long keynote at 10AM PDT, we can expect buckets of new announcements related to patch 6.5 and beyond....
This would be awesome, but I can’t imagine it happening due to the ripple effects of some players controlling a separate character in the narrative. Old content wouldn’t make sense and new content would have to create multiple instances of dialogue any time a relationship or past event is mentioned with the player. I don’t think it’s impossible, but it does limit what they can do and adds more work to the pile.
But if they did do it, I would love it if veteran players got a prompt to recreate their character (as if using a fantasia) and then when they went to meet with the scions, Derplander would be their old WoL.
6.45 is going to have our next Criterion dungeon. The last time around we had some kind of interesting mechanics, so I’m looking forward to the next one. Any thoughts on stuff we might see?
With any luck, some decent rewards and a little more balanced difficulty. I enjoyed the Variant Dungeon but there was really no reason to come back after you cleared the endings. I stepped into the Criterion version and got railed by the first boss pretty hard too. I didn’t expect such a massive difficulty spike, and that wasn’t even the Savage version. It would be nice if there was a glamour set and a hairstyle in there, or even a lootbox system like PotD.
Treasure Hunts are awesome, and you can seriously make bank doing them. The RNG keeps things interesting, and there’s a lot of moments of hype. I don’t have a lot of time to play these days, but when I do, I’m always down for some maps.
I think historically that an expansion name and teaser trailer come from the first Fan Fest of the year, but I’m not 100% sure… what sorts of announcements do you want to see?
I’m hoping for a few more details regarding the lighting update and QoL changes. They said they’re working on implementing features from popular 3rd-party add-ons, and I know thousands of console players would absolutely go nuts with hype if they announce that they’re even considering implementing chat bubbles.
So for the longest time my character has been a male highlander Hyur. I made him to kinda look like me. I usually tank in DF, and would receive a middling amount of commendations after a run....
Since the portrait addition, having a good-looking character and cool/fun portrait are the best ways to farm commendations. I actually like that, because when playing an MMO expressing myself is more fun to me than the gameplay.
Not that I can talk. I main healer, so I’ve got nearly twice as many comms as I have instances run.
It feels like it’s been so much longer. A lot has happened in both real life and the game since then.
Shadowbringers was my favorite narrative experience in any game I’ve ever played. The music, the lore, the characters. I’ve never cried more in a single day than I did during patch 5.3. It was a really special experience.
I’ve been playing on and off very casually since 2.0. These days I pretty much just log on after new patch releases to do the content. Between them, I ocassionally hop on to mess with glamours, run dailies, and chat with the FC mates who aren’t in Discord.
My wife and I actually met through this game back in 2016, so it’s got a special place in my heart.
What new things are you hoping will be announced this Friday?

Treasure dungeons are a riot! (pawb.social)
Cleared The Shifting Oubliettes of Lyhe Ghiah with a group of four, hitting every single exclamation mark (though two were secret sweeper trolls)!...
Fan Fest is in three weeks, what are you hoping for?

Did a race change...and have been blown away by the comms

Happy Shadowbringers 4th Anniversary! (possumpat.io)
Bringing the shadow and the light! ✨
What kind of players are in this community?
I’m interested in what kind of people hang around in here since the community is so small and so new....
