So Brel Hard and Artist release at the same time which means we need at least 6 whole weeks until Artists are done farmng Brel Normal. Which means we can start doing Brel Hard earliest in June. I guess this is kinda how Summoner fans feel. This is for rant feel free to drop your frustrations.

I wish they stopped releasing classes and raids at the same time.
There is nothing important happening on March, Artist should have at worse released in March.
So that we could get Brel gear and move on Hard in April.
This is atrocious having to go through 3 different raids[not counting clown, hes optional] as soon as possible to gear up the character we have been waiting for a year.
We better get that 1460 express or honing buff[copium] with that kind of release cadence.
Cuase then those artist player will have to swipe to boost up thier ilvl in order to play those raid quickly.

Made a whole write up in another thread about it and the time issues that KR is currently complaining about as well, figure I’ll just cross post it and if people wanna read it than can.
The post:
We have spreadsheets, check lists, scheduling raid times, dailies. This all circles back to what KR is complaining about, its not content or lack of its “time” there’s not enough time to get things done on a day by day basis if you run a roster of any size bigger then 2. And then you are still expected to get horizontal content done? PvP? Anything that isn’t already on our checklists? The realization of the time investment is sitting in on many many people. It’s not just NA, EU, or SA even KR is feeling the pressure of time. They have an extra abyss each week as well.
Everything takes time, from sitting in lobbies waiting for supports to actually doing the fight to scheduling when you and your group can get together for 2 hours of uninterrupted time to actually do a raid or a couple. I’d wager most players playing this game are in their 20’s to early 30’s they have jobs, friends, some have families to take care of. They want to play because they enjoy the game, its world, its combat, and its features. But if they’re required to dedicated 4 hours to just doing homework each day before they can even play raids with their friends what’s the point?
My group alone has 2 people with families, one with an odd work schedule, another in medical so he can be unreliable, and another unemployed. One can buy their way due to success and no qualms about whaling, the unemployed one can only spend unhealthy time to keep up with the group and the married ones try to find any time they can to just do chores so we can all sit and raid a little bit in the evening. We enjoy the game, but time just is against us.
I’ll likely be slowing down significantly, as Artist was my thread to hold out for and my target goal. At this point there’s zero reason to save and hold and there’s a strong chance I’ll fade out of the game alongside many others that are quitting for their own reasons, whether that be due to waiting for brel and finishing an already nerfed into the ground raid or their class has gone so hopelessly far away that it’s not even worth playing or even because they’re just sick of being spit on by a company that clearly doesn’t care.
AGS won’t respond to any thread about the Roadmap until after the Holidays, they’ve posted their piece left the office and will come back after we all go at each others throats and beat the living hell out of each other over whether there should or shouldn’t be censorship, how the game should’ve been handled or what the best time to release X class or X raid would’ve been. They don’t care. As long as their player numbers are up you’re just another digit to them. SG doesn’t care AGS doesn’t care the streamers don’t care they aren’t your friend its simply business.

That’s the thing, you can swipe all you want and you won’t be able to do the new raid anyway. This roadmap makes no sense
lol fomo much?
Yeah, this seems like a very weird choice.
Why pack everything into one month? Why not give artist for the anniversary so we have something to do and can have her ready for Brel Hard when it releases?
I think many people are just unaware that you cannot swipe past brel, its physically impossible you must spend 20 weeks of time maximum in gates 1-2 to get further. Theres a reason the population sharply drops in KR even after brelshaza tier. The time and investment is astronomical. The players you have there are players you retain, not try to win back after they left. Once they lose a player, especially a bleeding edge one, they won’t come back. Even if they do come back they won’t stay, they’ll make their class power pass it a bit fuck around in a deska or kunga close the game and never look back. I’ve only ever seen 2 games reliable do the “bring players back thing” and that’s WoW and FF14. Since each patch is a full “reset” of sorts, you basically start at square one day one even with the guy thats been playing for 3 years.

stop asking if content comes… they said April so one BIG content patch as always NOT SPLIT
Laughs in Summoner main…
Different models. WoW was (at the time) based on sub revenue so they wanted to retain players for a long time. Games like this are based on FOMO so they squeeze harder and harder until players are dry, then will have a new MMO waiting for them to repeat the cycle.

But…How can I fomo the class at all? Like the idea of fomo worked for everything pre-brel. After brel its a time lock. Theres no “swiping” that can be done to bypass the 10-20 week requirement to move past brel. Brel hard is +24 on all Valtan / Vykas pieces, flat out if you’re gonna swipe we’re talking 5 digit figures here easily. At the bare minimum a Feburary release would allow people who saved and some who swiped to at the very least have time to actually get this support ready for brel HM. Look at the current state of PF and now we’re saying its fine to dual release the raid and class again?
The sprint is over, the marathon and homework begins. You can no longer just “swipe” and play a new class with your main group. If your “main” or desired class isn’t in the game yet your done. It’s over. You will not be able to play Artist with your main group, You will not play Aeromancer with your main group, You will not be able to bring a new class to relevant content for 10-20 weeks. Thats it. There’s no swiping that can be done flat out.

Because the people in charge are looney toons
it makes zero sense to release a new class as the same time with a “new raid”. How can people main this new class then ? People are waiting months now for artist and they cant even do 1 or 2 moths brelshaza hard because ure basicly useless as lvl 50 new created charakter.
Worst decision ever to release a NEW class as the same time with new raid content.
Do you think that after their track record with New World and Lost Ark that players will play blue protocol? I don’t think so.
Oh, they will still play it. I’m on the side just watching/laughing while it’s all crumbling down a couple of months after release.
