” format, heading toward week 3. And so far, I have seen…almost nothing that differentiates it from the seasonal model. There was an extra cutscene at the start, but that may have been more Final Shape-related, but elsewhere? Everything seems identical.
Well, actually, looking ahead it seems like it’s mainly doubling down on seasonal timegating. Some fans hoped this would do the opposite, shedding the week-to-week nature of missions and the story in favor of three “Acts” you could play at your leisure. That’s not how it works. It’s the same weekly cadence as before, as in you do 4-5 steps in the seasonal story to inch it forward, then wait.More weapons being added to current episode pools that will not unlock until future acts.
New artifact perks unlocked which will go above and beyond current ones but again, it’s something you have to wait for rather than the artifact being more fun up front. I get it, it’s a fine line between keeping players engaged and not letting them be over-frustrated by a ready-set-wait story or locked items. And even outside of the timegating, I just think players were hoping for more of a shakeup to seasons than what just appears to be a…longer seasons. Same format, same HELM home base, same all of it.We could all be proven wrong here and the concept may evolve both over the course of this current Echoes episode, but also in the future.
Like it’s…fine, I’ll keep playing, because I’m me. But I do think fans were hoping for something more different and less relying on continued, or even increased, timegating than what we’ve seen so far.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
