The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

I have probably been a whiny little b**** for the past couple hours, but now I'm gonna sit back and analyze everything I've heard over the past few hours into an objective opinion formatted on 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'

The Good
- Beast Units
This is something that could REALLY spice up the game and the entire meta depending on how they implement them.

- Hero Fest and First Summon Tickets
Honesly considered putting this in Bad, but then remembered OBJECTIVE, and frankly a Hero Fest and extra summons can bmnever be a bad thing... right? My only problem is how lazy it feels. But Free Summons are Free Summons.
- Weapon Refinery
Tough to keep Objective, so I will do something odd with skill refinery, it will be in all 3 with an explaination for each. The obvious Ogma, Catria, Est, and Navarre I believe got undisputedly good Refines.
The others are the subjective ones. You could include the Robins in here, as they become good support units. Palla is a tough one though...

The Bad (not really bad, just mid-tier)
- Weapon Refinery
Robins could also be in here depending on your playstyle. Palla as well, but I don't have her here either because I have my own prolems with Triangle Adept.
- Mythic Units
This is another tough one, but I believe this is where they belong. I can't consider them Ugly to the game quite yet, not until we get more info on what they actually do. So for now they are middling.

The Ugly
- Mythic Effects
This one is rough, it could have a big impact on Aether Raids, which scares me. But I also don't think it will be a HUGE impact either. Only time will tell with this one two.

- Weapon Refinery
You could be mad about your specific unit not getting an OPAS refine, and thats kind of why this one has popped up everywhere. I think Palla deserves to be here (I don't even Like Palla) but I think that might be my own bias sliding in on this one.

- Lack of Content
I have seen this EVERYWHERE tonight. I disagree with it mostly. Of course I was expecting a bit more, but I believe there was plenty of content (Whether you like the content will be subjective.)

- The Community
Holy shit. The amount of Toxicity coming out of forms tonight is just absurd. It's one update, there will be more stuff in the future, and give IS time to develop all this stuff, although I'm no saint either. They can't give us everything at the snap of the fingers.

TLDR: No way in Hell I can sum it all up. If you want a shorter read, just read the titles of each category I guess?

Thanks for reading if you axtually managed to read this wall of text :/
Hope you enjoyed, and feel free to tell me what you think.

No change to arena or any other new mode is weak! I think for an update like 3.0 it was a little bit of a letdown, not terrible though. Book 3 will be another slow drip fed experience like book 2 and by the time it concludes no one will care.

Aether Raids just benefits whales, gaining lift depending on a mythic character's merge level.

The only good thing that was added was beast units. This doesn't seem like a sustainable update in terms of content. In the short time that Aether Raids has been out, it could have easily been delayed for 3.0. At least we could say IS added something new.

November was the lowest grossing month for IS, fans aren't happy with the state of the game and I think this update isn't going to help much. I really hope IS has at least a better Christmas event lined this year compared to last year to tide us over.
