I made a post about Clear Skies Lore/events and all I thought was wrong with them because I felt PHXL was not up to standards with it. This time I feel they are and just like I talked about what was bad, I want to talk about what is good.

First - The events all make sense. Abnormal amounts of terra aether are flowing, the same aether that makes up our tonics, so we need to make sure theres nothing wrong. Makes sense. The Farslayers still trying to make it to Ramsgate need us to slay terra behemoths because the behemoths are attracted to the terra aether the Farslayers specialize in. Makes sense. We arent dealing with any random artifacts that just showed up one day but every one in game is acting like "What, those? Yeah, just collect them.".

Second - Lore pages push the story forward. So far we only have one lore page this hunt but the tl;dr of it is Xeyla is accepting her knew role as leader of the Farslayers in Ramsgate This pushes the story of the quests and mission hunts we've been given. Its not a random news story from a paper we've never heard about telling us that the portal driver, the thing we used to get to New Ramsgate, is a thing that can open portals and could take us places also Arkan is very smart.

So far the new stuff is structured better and feels connected. Its still just the start of the Hunt Pass so we'll have to wait and see if this keeps up throughout, but for now its all a step in the right direction

Agreed! And this post really got me thinking about our delivery of story and narrative (not always the same thing), too. Thank you!
