Regarding the jobs feeling simplified, I'm hoping that they're gearing up for a specialisation tree for when we cap at 99 so like for example a level 99 scholar might be able to choose between the two fairies, do a little questline then unlock new talents and skills. Dunno if I'm on the money here, but it might be interesting and fun to have more variety, choice or expressions within a Job.
Regarding the void quests and 6.1 MSQ familiar scenes, they were tackling two different things. MSQ was all about testing a way to survive travelling to the thirteenth while the void quests are about gathering data to eventually restore the thirteenth. Until the MSQ progresses from saving the dragon to saving the world there is no reason to bring the Void quests into the MSQ. On the flip side, the MSQ should advance the Void Questline once the talisman is finished but they would allow the First crew to take more readings and speed up their research so I will be disappointed if there is no new Void Quest after 6.2 MSQ.
As far as how to converge the two stories, all is really needed is the caster role quest to have a basic foundation on what they were doing. May be a big ask right now, but any new caster they add will be able to do the role quest right from the start. Which is why I have locked in a caster for 7.0, melee using scouting gear if there is a second.
My game is always muted so I never noticed the sound bug actually
2:07:22 Anyone with a link to what Rook is talking about because I would to read that a race was created just make "the furry community" happy, I know Rook is a little bat shit insane sometimes but that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
