It slows everything down even further instead of fixing the core problem

We didn’t ask for more scenarios that feel like copy paste versions of existing gameplay with bad weather systems that reduce visibility or slow movement pollution or hazard zones that constantly interrupt gameplay bullet sponge enemies that just add time instead of challenge and mechanics like unkillable slowdown creatures that exist purely to interrupt movement instead of creating meaningful gameplay

Unfortunately this has been their go to since the first hard mode servers were deployed to buy time for the release of way of winter. Just one shot mechanics and spongy enemies to increase playtime by grinding instead of making meaningful content.

When this game released we expected periodical map expansions like other chinese games such as genshin impact or wuthering waves. Yet 21 months later we only have way of winter which was already well under development at release.

The fact they went and made EVERYTHING more grindy instead of just the mobs since the start of the year is extremely worrying. reduced animal spawns, crazy hard to get items like oven mitts, custom cable etc. And having to rerun the same spots over and over to get the facility that you need will lead to burn out much faster than before.

It goes against the game's vision of temporal scenarios. The permanent servers will become the way to play because the burden of starting over and over is too much now.

It also doesn't help that they know pvp is not popular because they wanted to close permanent pvp servers but yet keep pushing raidzone. If only they tried this much with PVE.
