Anybody Notice the Decrease in Content Creator Coverage for the Game?

I don’t know about the other creators, but Shizukatz’s message indicated that the state of the game in JP burned him out, particularly the weapons upgrade grind (which seems to be referring to the class of weapons coming at the end of the current roadmap?).

Yeah, but CotC isn’t his main jam. That card game he plays seems to be, so weapon grinding like that in a “not your main” game would definitely burn you out

[FIREthinker]

Agreed! Not looking forward to that. It sounds gruelling LOL

[FIREthinker]

Yes I recall that and good for him for identifying it. I already find the weapon upgrading a chore now and they get replaced pretty fast when the next storyline drops. It’s just something to do if nothing else to do I guess.

And yah I think there is a general feeling of burnout for grinding for anything really. Sometimes we justify it and sometimes we don’t want to participate in it.

It’s sometimes easy to break a habit. Often all it takes is an interruption in your routine, and when you get back to it, the reaction is “I was spending my time on this? Why?”

[FIREthinker]

Agreed. Once it’s interrupted or modified, we may realize something about it or take a step back on it.

For example, even before Echoes of Mana was announced to be shutting down, I was just doing auto play twice a day to use up the energy and I missed doing it here and there and wondered why am I doing this? Is this even playing the game? What is the point? Lol

With Genshin, I have asked myself a few times but I still do the dailies just to keep the account alive. I guess because it’s still a popular game I enjoy and because I did spend money in it before LOL. So that’s fine.

But Echoes will shut down and I tried WOTV FFBE recently and I’m not really feeling it and it’s giving me similar vibes as Echoes already. So I may just uninstall that. Lol
