I honestly would have tolerated Wuk Lamat existing if the expansion was just fucking this. I wanted to go on an adventure, explore unseen lands. I wanted the same feeling that ARR and Shadowbringers gave me, I wanted to be an outsider to a strange new place and learn about the history of the setting while making a name for myself. I wanted a true reset, and Venat's nonexistence was an excellent chance to do that. I wanted to explore dense forests and jungles like ShB's jungle and the ARR Black Shroud and find my way into strange ruins and remnants of a culture that doesn't exist anymore. I wanted to solve mysteries and unearth ancient treasures.
And I am livid with what we got. The worst part is, I share the exact OPPOSITE opinion of most people in that I was almost okay with the first part of the expansion because if I squinted my eyes I could almost pretend it was at least the setup to the kind of story I wanted to explore. I could believe that once the succession rite was over and we had seen the New World on a surface level, we could have a comfy adventure where we leave Wuk Lamat behind on the throne to explore after learning some secret from Gulool Ja Ja or something. And then the Alexandria shit happens and it's all just boring high tech sci-fi slop and a complete wet fart of an endgame.
I wanted so badly for this to be adventurekino but it failed me harder than anything else. It was nothing like what I wanted, and there will never even be a game resembling what I wanted in general. It makes me sick to think about. We were so close, and yet we have never been further.
