I've been thinking about this since Tuesday. The timegate was a bit hard to swallow, but in the end, I agreed that 5 days would seem like nothing. I'm enjoying the scavenger hunts, I'm enjoying visiting previous maps. It's fun, it doesn't require much gold or materials. It's an adventure, which is exactly what I want more of from this game. Less grinding, more exploring. The Skyscale was deliberately advertised as THE BIGGEST thing to come from this episode, and looking back, it feels good to know that it wouldn't require a small amount of effort. Fast forward to yesterday -- 5 days has been stretched to 9, but it's expected to stretch even further, to at least half a month's worth of waiting. Since I have plenty of free time, I can manage it. But why is it such an extreme waiting period? Don't get me wrong -- I understand more than anyone what the intent behind this was. I love the idea of raising my own skyscale so that it feels more personal to me, instead of just being given it off the bat. It feels similar to games I used to play, anyone who knows what "Chao Gardens" are would understand. But I just don't understand why the waiting was linked to real-time days, and not in-game days. It's more time spent waiting than playing. Again, no problems with the scavenger hunts. No problems with the collections. No problems with raising my own personal skyscale. All fun. Waiting for daily reset just to find out there's more than 5 days worth of waiting? Feels like someone's waving a prize in front of my face, and every time I reach out for it, it gets further away.
