As a day 1 ZZZ player, I'm honestly on the verge of uninstalling. A couple days ago, I realized... I just wasn't having fun with the game. It was feeling more like a chore than a fun time, and the dailies felt like a waste of time.
When I was slogging through an event (with unskippable dialogue) on the last day before it ended, I just stopped and asked myself if it was worth it. Did I really want to spend another half hour grinding through an event I didn't want to do for less than 2/3 of a single pull?
Honestly, Orphie could have been a big draw to keep me playing. The whole sentient dragon-headed tail thing is honestly pretty cool, and I feel like they could have done so much with it. But then everything else about her is just kind of... bland. Nothing terrible, but nothing exciting either. And making Magus's combat role be essentially just "talking flamethrower" seems like such a missed opportunity.
I've enjoyed the game for a long time, but I just haven't been feeling it lately. It's unfortunate since it seems like some of the devs really care, but maybe this is just the Hoyo curse.
