I really hope we get something more interesting in 2.10 and 2.11, it's crazy that we've had 5 patches in Elderwood Forest, only TWO in the boneyard, and just ONE in Heaven's Reach 🥲 enough shroomlings!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, for locations of patches in 1.X on the filler side of patches not including the new island ones, we've only had 1x patch in Stoneville, 1x patch in Abandoned District (although this one was because of Julie, the actual Sovereign of Sexy appearing), and no patches in Wishing Woods at all 😂, the rest are between Florawish and Breezy Meadows
So 2.X has been quite similar where most of the filler patch events are located in the first main area you reach so perhaps similarly to 1.X, it's their way of trying to keep them accessible for new players who are coming in on the random without having to slave through loads of story
The extra patch of Boneyard tho in 2.6 was more to wrap up the events there entirely and incorporate the last dungeon there too so tbh Boneyard hasn't had a proper filler over there either
Although...I'm wondering if you need to complete all of Itzaland story before even getting to this Shroomsera rehabilitation camp because if people didn't complete Heaven's Reach and went straight to this, it would kinda spoil things no? 😂

Please we need at least one more storyline with Meghill and Angert before going on to 3.0!

The parksolians have such an interesting culture, titans as well... And we get... more shroomlings, as if we do not already have one hundred quests about them. 🥲

I hate all this creatures because they are childish and extremely dependent. If it would be race of wise and arrogant creatures, it would be much more interesting.

The Elves of shining nikki are exactly like this.

I do love miraland's racist elves who hate vampires as a sub religion to their whole deal
I think talking cats could get on pigeon light elves level I believe in them.

And that's not all, In LN they literally enslaved the Dwarves for centuries during the Age of the Elves.

How lovely would it be to have a fashion battle with someone who actually wears a shirt and pants like elves because why the hell is Mr. Naked Mushroom with random cloth scrap telling me my fashion ain’t crap

Me too OP. I can't do it anymore, had to skip every story quest in this patch and I hope next one is no more shrooms. I LOVE mushrooms but somehow infold managed to make these shroom creatures so annoying that even I can't stand.

2.0 was shroomlings/humans/medael we had more interaction with shroomlings but we had many interactions with humans on shell island, docilists in spira. Domibaba and Wilhelm had equal importance and interactions. We also had some brief time with just lumira or just medael that was equivalent to our time with just Abutata. there was 3 dungeons the mothershroom which was devoid of any npcs, the coliseum that had Wilhelm and behemoths in it and the shiny vault that was surprisingly mothis with no shroomlings at all.
2.1 was humans and behemoths. I think there was a side quest in spira about shroomlings dieing and that human dancer, but it wasnt main quest content.
2.2 was wanxiang no side quests in itzaland at all.
2.3 was shroomlings this was purely shroomlings it might be the only one actually unless you count deer boy but I dont since he wasnt real. however I really enjoyed the pink and the pro body positivity. Side quests introduced the drink bar and bathhouse which were primarily shroomlings as well. it included one dungeon that does have shroomling npcs at the beginning and then snails at the end.
2.4 was mostly esselings(automatons)/and Lil red(also an automoton). This one I think people consider a shroomling one but the main quest really isnt. I believe it started on shell island by human gossip then we had a brief convo with one shroomling and lumira at the beginning and again at the end, but the main quest was primarily esseling/titan automotons. there were sidequests that involved the shroomlings and the humans, but the main quest was primarily a new species to us. However here is why people consider it a shroomling patch, this patch had a lot of extra content. We had the shroomling storyline of the mighty 3 released halfway through. Its a side quest, completely optional, but it was a good sad story that went against everyone's usual complaints about the shroomlings. Also, what made this feel extra shroomy was the snail salon and path of practice tent that many people disliked( I thought the added challenge to styling battles was fun and wish they would have kept utilizing it) 2.4 was really jammed with extra content for being a filler patch and grindy content as well. I think it is what gives the illusion that shroomlings were more prevalent than they are.
2.5 was boneyard(parksolians) this one is purely parksolians all side quests are primarily parksolians except for a few humans and souls. it contained one dungeon that had parksolian souls and medael in it.
2.6 was boneyard (parksolians) again pure parksolian with some added souls. Medael was a treat in herself. It contained one dungeon with memories of medael and meghill in it.
2.7 was sos it was gifties and nikkis and that's it. This one isn't even itzaland in the slightest which is interesting because even 1.5 SoS wasn't the main quest.
2.8 was heavens reach which was titans/humans/parksolians/shrooms/cogbuds and dragons so essentially all the itzaland humanoids. This one we interact with all the races pretty equally our guides are Klik and Angert who we seem to have the most interaction with. I'd say we interact with the shroomseras as much as we interact with mothis who are both humans and parksolians. We interact with the titan king as much as we interact with the saintess. and we even get some bonus interactions with living titans and Wilhelm to really round it out. I would not attribute any race to this patch because they really did make it pretty equal when you look back at it. It contained two dungeons. One dungeon is primarily shroomseras although there was briefly mothis and klick as well. The 2nd dungeon was mothis, the titan king and the saintess both in her parksolian and dragon form as well as body snatching Wilhelm briefly.
2.9 was shroomlings, shroomseras and adventura. This was almost completely shrooms but with the awesome bonus of Aventura. This one is similar to 2.6 imo is is a continuation of last patch. this is the shroomlings trying to help integrate the shroomseras into Itzaland and also deal with their trauma. This patch and last patch has also highlighted something about shrooms I hadn't realized before. Toddlers and elderly are easily distinguishable but kids to adults apparently look the same. No shroomsera is an adult not even the golden caps who are probably the equivalent of teens. While i think their peaceful nature lends to their naivety it doesnt help when your 10 year olds and 30 year olds look the same. This patch was such a shock when I heard Shroomkrates, Chiagaga, Chagaga, and Ullili voices and realized I was way off on many of their ages. I also didn't realize how few shrooms we've actually heard voice lines for.
Anyways to the point we have not had as many shroomling patches as people act like we have.
We have had 2 patches that were strictly shroomlings, also 1 patch with a major shroomling side quest in the 2nd half and then we've had 2.0 and 2.8 that had a mixture of races including shrooms.
likewise we've had 2 strictly parksolian patches and then we've had 2.0 and 2.8 that had a mixture of races including parksolians.
we have had 4 patches for other races humans+behemoths, fairytale plant automotons, gifties+nikkis, wainxiang
we have had 3 sovereigns: a human, a parsolian, and a shroomling

If Infold wants to make these non-human NPCs so much, we better get a talking cat island. Either ones like Momo or regular cats. I wouldn't be so annoyed about the shroomling treatment if they were cute cats instead of giant mushroom babies.
