Okay you gotta admit that the game is kinda complete right now. Content needing to be filled is filled mostly, the community isn't sure where are we going with this game at this point and questions of balancing keep popping up with some valid points.
I myself like how DST is right now and it is in a very comfortable position content wise, we basically have all needs met to deal with all challenges. There's nothing more. That's an issue.
What do we do?
Nobody knows at this point. Klei can make DLC world gens if they wanted to and it would be pretty cool. We could have different scenarios, harder more balanced mode for veterans, etc.
But, like, do ya'll think there's nothing more needed for the Constant? Recent gear we were introduced to feels more like endgame reward to finishing the game. Much of it feels very strong and versatile so much that it beats basically most bosses we would encounter often.
I dunno. I feel satisfied with the state of the game. I would enjoy having one or two quirks and things added and changed but nothing more feels necessary. Maybe we need something new and bold from Klei, something different enough to shake up metas and even gameplay loops. Things that would put veterans on toes and have new players engaged and interested more.
That's my little ramble at least.
