>the difficulty from ultimate comes from complete memorization of where to stand with each itteration of the mechanic and the other to memorise it as well
Is this really how you manage difficulty? No need to think fast or react to things?
When do you consider something to be hard and fair? I always had a difficult time trying to convey what makes something "hard"
>peak difficulty is playing simon says
pffthahahah
the difficulty comes not just with knowing the mechanics, but being able to execute them in rapid succession, with full group coordination, while also having mastered your classes own skills to meet damage checks
>while also having mastered your classes own skills to meet damage checks
damage checks are a joke. You just need to know your rotation to get there. Healers in the other hand actually have to heal that's the only thing why it's hard for them.
this is the best way to out yourself as someone who has never played the game
what a dumb Black person. What you want me to say? Yeah you have to all cordinate to pot in the same window and to alling the 2 min buffs? What a dumb motherfricker.
you can map out the entire fight regarding healing cooldowns if thats your argument. there is no random damage in these encounters. so just like a dps will push a raidbuff at 2min every single time, a healer will push the aoe heal at 1:40 minutes every time
lol
You realize that high level healing is the exact same, right?
No one cares that some shitter stepped into an orange circle in your expert roulette and you had to throw out an extra heal on him and now you think healing is """dynamic""".
"High level healing" is 100% static. You will use the exact same cooldowns/amount of GCD heals for every single mechanic on every attempt, unless as stated in the example above, someone fricks up. Which isn't something that you take into consideration when talking about difficulty because no one gives a shit what happens during prog runs, in a clear everyone will be playing (near) perfectly.
Even the big heal checks of DSR that are Akh Morn in P6/Morn Afah in P6/Akh Morns Edge in P7/Gigas in P7 is 100% static and mapped out beforehand. We literally have a spreadsheet for this shit in my group.
>in a clear everyone will be playing (near) perfectly.
Unrelated to you two argumenting, but I'm so fricking sick of healers having attitude like they're not submissive bawds.
>Blablabla, if you stand in that fire, I'm not gonna heal you and you die!!
Why, fricker? JUST DO YOUR FRICKING JOB!
If I play a caster class, with long casts, and I know if I stand in the fire/voidzone / hazard it'll take roughly 60% of my health, but there are no other raid damage spikes at that time and the tank doesn't need much and the healer has plenty mana? Guess what fricker, I'm standing in that shit. Just shut yer trap and heal me. I don't understand why healers (and tanks) are always the ones who refuse to do their job as much as possible and seem to find glee in the idea of not helping their party. DPS players are min-maxing homosexuals fighting for the meters top spot, but at least they want to do something helpful. No DPS ever refuses to deal damage if the healer doesn't heal them enough.
Because you're a homosexual moron who is making resulting in a net negative when you give yourself a doom or vuln stack. Your single cast is not beneficial when the healer now has to cater to specifically your dumbfrick ass because you take more damage than planned because you couldn't plan your rotation around the fight properly like the monkey you are.
good thing every savage fight since i think promise now hands you a damage down if you stood in shit. DSR does it too and its a nasty as frick damage down.
The words of someone who cant 99 parse and blames it on rng lmao
try missing your hyosho crit 8 times and tell me it is possible to 99
not really, XIV doesn't have tight damage checks
t. moron who hasn't actually done DSR
You have never done DSR
Without LB, the meteors after Death of the Heavens is probably one of the strictest DPS checks in any MMO
And it will be a joke come 6.3 where dungeon gear is on-par with current BiS raid gear, plus better food and pots. Ultimate raiders are a weird minority.
what are you trying to say? that the fight was never hard because some time in the future it will be easier?
holy shit are you funposting or straight up moronic?
All you need to know is the mechanic order and you'll clear. damage check... lol. Even "grey parsers" clear you know.
do you know how parsers work
yeah. do you, b***h?
lets say 10 people clear
each person does 1 less rdps than the last
the last 2 people will be greylets
do you understand how stupid you are now?
yes, obviously. do you think that the spread is that small? you really should look at the damage spread, you can get by on a lot of checks without sweating too much. can you think of even one dps check that has been a problem for prog? no, the issue is just learning the mechanics of the fight in rapid succession
>can you think of even one dps check that has been a problem for prog
brother have you not watched the prog of your own op fight?
Nothing in FFXIV requires minmaxxing except week 1 clears which is literally doing content below the designed ilvl. You can make plenty of mistakes in your rotation in Ultimate and still clear because only a death will frick you and sometimes you can afford even that.
im sorry that you are incapable of clearing stuff week 1. its actually really fun
and since you ignored my last reply, people were lb3'ing both estinien and the eyes because they thought the dps check was impossible otherwise
until they got good, stopped dying and stopped having any damage down including rez weakness
>can you think of even one dps check that has been a problem for prog
dps check wasn't the issue, their dying to MECHANICS was doing it.
buddy if they die to enrage then I'd argue theres a dps check there and they are failing it. but whatever you are one of those so I'd rather not waste my time with you
Only time I ever tried my group refused to pentameld, it was fricking awful. Advertised as a week 1 clear on E4S, and despite getting stuck on 1-2% wipes on Titan, there were 5 people in the raid who refused to pentameld meaning we were down like a couple thousand stats across the entire raid
Ah yes those week 2 clearers who just breezed through eyes because they had uh... 24 more crit/det on their weapon.
Why is it always people who don't even understand how ultimate works that make these comments?
That's why I prefer WoW. The Idea to increase raid difficulty merely by removing visual indicators for void zones, and forcing a raid player to remember every voice line / boss movement to move out of dangerous zones before they even exist is not a fun game that has you reacting to what is happening, It's an annoying exercise in memory games.
I'd rater have a voidzone that lasts long enough for me to move out of, provided I didn't stand in an absurd place before or had no reaction time, than one I have to remember will spawn at exactly X moment in this fight.
WoW raids felt like interesting fights, FFXIV raids felt like dances you need to learn.
Every other aspect of FFXIV felt better tho. Specially being able to play all classes on a single character, that concept makes my dick hard to this day and I would literally sub to WoW again if they did that.
Yeah, too bad wow raids are just about doing what the automated addons tell you to do lol.
Even the world first races need programmers to create new addons as the fights go on.
WoW raiding is a massive joke nowadays.
The addons aren't really needed. Some gays overdo it with these tinyauras for every single thing, but the addons hardly tell you what to do. They tell you which abilities are upcoming and some people have added an instruction to that upcoming warning. "Breath incoming, move to X" etc. It honestly helps, because 6 hours of progress raiding is actually mentally exhausting. I used to play Truck simulator and other "boring games" to wind down after a difficult raid night.
The Idea that the addons play for you is completely false. There had been one addon, that used the ability to draw on your screen to actually tell you exactly where to move during a fight, and Blizzard destroyed that via API changes pretty quickly.
>The addons aren't really needed
The devs have confirmed that a lot of boss battles are literally unplayable without addons.
The world first raiders won't touch a single raid without addons.
You as the casual player, will not be allowed into mythic without a certain ammount of addons.
The game literally breaks without addons and even ION ADMITS THIS YOU FRICKING MORON.
>If you're a casual raider
>you will not be allowed in the highest difficulty raid without prep.
Yeah you see what happened here? You're equating casual raiders who can do raidfinder and normal mode perfectly fine without tons of addons, or even just with a simple deadly boss mods if they want, to literal 0.001% world first guilds, and mythic raids which are the highest possible difficulty.
Yes, if you want to do hardcore progressive raiding, you will need addons.
But I was disputing the fact that all wow raids are just "follow the addons play on autopilot", the addons tell you what is coming up and to be ready. That is all that is required even for Mythic raids.
Some individuals like to go FULLY overboard with powerauras that are way too handholdy, but these are really personal preference. A shit guild is way more likely to require them then a top tier progress guild.
you have no idea of what you are talking about
I did progressraiding for many years. Obviously no world firsts to my name, but still we had fun. Some people in my guild used WeakAuras/PowerAuras for fights and it was encouraged, but I never did because 99% of the time the auras just said the same shit my bossmod was already telling me, so what's the point? Only exception were occasional fights where Blizzard did bullshit that was almost impossible to communicate quickly, like forcing you to quickly run towards specific other players or some other bullshit like forcing the entire raid to split up into very specific groups, based on a debuff you're getting at the same moment as you have to do it.
Yeah, those require mods, but again, that's hardcore mythic content. You can't decry that it's not "casual friendly" when it's literally the highest difficulty.
Ah, well maybe that happens to some people. As I had a progress raiding guild, I never did much PUG raiding except with some alts, and the few times I joined random groups, and the few times I joined a pug, and asked: "Hey, you need to check achievements or something?" They just said: "Nah, you're from [Guild], I know you're good". So shit like that would just never have happened to me, thanks to server guild prestige alone.
> A shit guild is way more likely to require them then a top tier progress guild.
thats what I was referring to. liquid literally had a team in charge of coding their weak auras as they progged sanctum
>Coding.
You literally just put [insert aura ID] then: do thing.
If you can use microsoft excel you can make auras.
Dude you can't even do fricking Heroic because people will check your addons with their own addons, and the moment there is a wipe you will be the first one they will blame and kick. That is IF they even allowed you to raid with them.
At that point what content are you gonna do, normal?? lol, might as well just quit the game in that case and play another game.
If only the classes didn't get turned into a complete joke
I'd agree only if wow wasn't so gear dependent. Watching the sepulcher's RWF and every guild being forced to do 215264517 gear farm runs was less fun than watching randoms doing this ultimate...
>group co-ordination
You mean where each person memorized where to stand
>game where damage meters are shunned knowing anything about damage checks
Peak difficulty is waiting for the ocean fishing bot to finally get the remaining blue fish, and eventually hit 3 million points for the "World-Class Troller" title.
I'll do that but first I have to finish all shb relics before ew ones drop
mmominion bot?
Frick Choir and Marching Band mechanics.
raiding in ffxiv might as well be square dancing, if you want a 'dynamic fight' or whatever then play monster hunter
Monhun boils down to an entire game of setup then two minutes max of execution.
can you wow gays stop constantly seething and make shit threads about this game
But i'm the OP and i actually play the game. Triple legend with DSR in progress.
What are you implying?
>have to properly manage and maximize dps on every role
>have to tard wrangle 7 other people
>game is just stand in not bad it's simple
>properly manage and maximize dps on every role
just one role, yours.
not a hard task in any way in 2016+6 ffxiv, as there is no hard jobs
The Simon says trash is why I never bothered with ultimates.
I just wish there were more mechanics to react or interactive like Nissi on TEA or heck even the fire/ice from UCoB. But so far DSR is:
>you have this buff? Ok stand in this marker or stand in this exact spot from the arena
>3 iterations of the mechanic to memorize. Ok we had number 1? that means we stand in this place and see the mechanic go off
It's just so tiresome....
tbh I thought the mechanic was interacting with the "story" of the raid to actually progress/
>No need to think fast or react to things?
you react to permutations of mechanics which is where the thinking happens, which is usually a personal responsibility on adjusting where you go/what you do. Anyway of course you have a difficult time trying to convey what is difficult about something that you are not doing or you have no experience in.
damn i thought not being able to critize FFXIV on Ganker was a meme.....
There are plenty of people agreeing with you in this thread
>make moronic statement
>people with actual knowledge call you a moron
>WOW CAN'T EVEN CRITICIZE THE GAME
What is this mental illness?
>no you
>people with actual knowledge
lol
lmao
I accept your concession.
>One person disagrees with you
>Have a b***h fit
Frick off back to twitter
TRUE DIFFICULTY IS HAVING TO EXECUTE TICK PERFECT PRAYER FLICKS FOR 2 HOURS STRAIGHT WHILE JUGGLING 10 INSTAKILL ENEMY AGGRO AND TILE PERFECT MOVEMENT WITH FOOD MANAGEMENT.
The real difficulty in these is figuring it out. But now we have guides. It's kind of soulless, but I enjoy understanding and executing the mechanics while gaining insight into why the strats are the way they are.
wow might have addons that play the game for you but at least the raid mechanics have always been more dynamic and chaotic. FFXIV has like 2 variations of a mechanic at most and then just swaps to the one that didn't get picked
>get to level 90 on SAM
>my hotbar is clunky as shit
I don't know what it is, everything just feels so off with no flow to what I'm pressing or where I've put my abilities.
then give it flow, sort everything out again in a way that makes sense for you
>change hotbars
>I'm now down a main button slot even without removing kaiten
What the frick. I don't want to put Shoha/II or Guren/Senei there because they're acquired so fricking late, but now it's just an empty main slot.
I just have skills on my hotbars twice to fill space lol
thats something you'll have to live with
my raijus are on Q and E and they are level 90 skills
confiteor combo is on Q and it is also 90
but I raid way more than anything else so thats how it has to be
Remove that grey kaiten button. There, button bloat solved 🙂
I play crossbar and I put skills tangentially related to skills of other classes in the same spot. It's fun and gives the classes flow.
Yeah, but SAM doesn't have equivalents in some other jobs. Also aside from DRG it's my only melee DPS at 90.
No.
>kaiten still there
bro... You have to let it go...
We're not bending the knee to these moronic devs
SAM bros screeched so hard it made these homosexuals recoil from ruining 2 another jobs for at least one more patch, that's a win
actually the official translation says fundamental changes were postponed to at least next xpac
based, we get to enjoy DRG for one more expansion
>When we publish the 6.2 patch notes, we are also planning to release explanations for job adjustments separately from the patch notes. Our goal is to clearly explain our intentions in their entirety, so please take a look when they’re released. Although we understand that publishing our intentions will not necessarily mean everyone will agree with our job adjustments, but we’d still like to alleviate the current situation where players are completely left in the dark when it comes to changes.
At least in the future we will know why they do the things that they do.
>At least in the future we will know why they do the things that they do.
Shame people can't be reasoned with
>DRKs didn't want dark arts because it's a button you have to press over and over for no real reason
>They're happy it's gone
>SAM also has a dark arts button, let's remove it
>SAM players scream bloody murder
Their logic is sound, the people they're trying to reason with aren't
Kaiten was dark arts done right. You don't need to press it often. And when you press it/don't press it you definitely felt its effect.
Dark arts was replaced along with the rest of DRK kit as part of a complete rework. Here they just scrapped Kaiten with no suitable replacement, leaving the jobs with something clearly missing. The way they handled these two abilities is not remotely comparable.
even framing it like that doesnt cover the fact that SAMchuds literally never asked for Kaiten to be removed
My biggest issue isn't even kaiten homosexual, it's that they removed KAITEN instead of putting IKKISHOTEN WITH OGI. Like what the frick is the point of that.
They could've done that AND just removed gauge requirement for dashes.
I mean by the instant that they remove kaiten, made midare and ogi always crit, you know they're fricking moronic beyond comprehension
You'd think the devs would ask for player feedback on what changes they would like instead of assuming shit and making them angry
in the cast of dark arts, I saw people wanting it removed or reworked, so for better or worse, they listened to the community
with kaiten, I never saw a single post wanting kaiten to be removed, not one, a few asking for some skills to be combined or remove actual button bloat skills like senei, but never kaiten
they really should ask so they at least have an idea of what players would like and go from there instead of boneheaded shit like removing buttons players liked
you'd never get any change if you just listen to people claiming they're experts at certain jobs
there's morons screaming that they want old SMN back despite an overwhelming amount of people saying they like it
nuSMN is a sleep aid
it may be flashier but its still boring as shit to play
as was old SMN
flashy sleep aid > boring sleep aid
>>DRKs didn't want dark arts because it's a button you have to press over and over for no real reason
>then they add Gunbreaker and Continuation
I fully expect them to remove Continuation in 7.0 because having a clicky, high apm job is what SE seems to hate. I mean look at the newest jobs, Reaper has next to no off GCDS. SE is trying to slow down the average APM of the game for no good reason.
>meanwhile break and bloat AST by taking away Sleeve Draw and making Arcanas terrible again.
Great, so when your job plays like shit you'll know why it got so bad
It won't make it play better but youll feel better knowing exactly what kind of moron is in charge of designing jobs
Their logic of "removing one of the core ability of your job since its inception with no suitable replacement in sight" is not sound logic by any metric
Everyone hates shinten spam
They had one job, replace it with literally anything more interesting, and they fricked it up
You will bow. You will either keep playing or you will change classes and keep playing. Either way, Yoshida has won. Samurai is still one of the top dps so you can't even whine about that.
take teleport and return off then they have their own buttons already
this. we need real difficulty. bosses shouldn't even be killable without extreme gear and class stacking
>bad lips, bad scales, hairstyle reveals scales, ligma rings in her eyes are bright instead of dark.
its easy to make au ra look bad.
indeed. this one is also quite abhorrent
I knew my character would be insulted, but unironically I think that the issues in most au ra characters have to do with color scheme, weird eyes (heterochromia or neon limbal rings) and lack of make-up
ditch the dyke haircut and it might help
I can't help but be into anime and bangs, meaning I only like hime cuts and bob cuts. hime doesn't work on my Xaela.
go back to vg if you wanna keep spamming your ugly lizard
I posted 2 characters once each. its not spam in this thread.
that 2 too many, now because of you other trannoids are coming out of the woodwork like this homosexual right here
Raen are difficult to make look good because their scale colour is meh and clashes with most things. Xaela have more freedom in that regard but also have to be careful. Both are privy to shit decisions like jarring ring colours though.
No, the issue with most lizards is that you're all moronic. They have exclusive rights to the best hairstyle in the game and none of you gays use it
I used it on
though.
Is this modded? I don't remember the make up options allowing dark colors.
That's as dark as normal facepaint. Doesn't look modded at all to me.
that face paint can get that dark, I have a cat with similar usage of that.
vanilla. Might look darker because I use a gshade
I love that hair. Definitely making it hard to swap back for the old short cut I used to have.
Aside from your ugly character, assuming it is yours, is that chestpiece relatively easy to obtain? I know it’s from Ameliance’s custom deliveries rank reward so you can skip that explanation.
It will take you a minimum of 3 weeks but my math might be off. It's the final reward of the questline besides cucking Margitt.
NTA but yeah, you just have to do the deliveries for a couple of weeks and then a sidequest in the building it unlocks.
Your character is fine, just some people are super weird. Far better than that first Au'ra which was trash.
>Au'ra
oh shit new race?
Yea, one that genocides yours.
There has never been a good lizard.
It's a damn shame I don't play female characters because I'm clearly better at this than you gays
this is pretty good but anon you are using the face that everyone agrees looks the best for femra.
im glad you attached a pic to illustrate what you said
I think your character is cute anon and I would take her out some time.
I would probably frick her and never contact her again though.
Don't know why you attached that image, but it disappoints me.
>No need to think fast or react to things?
Impossible with AI. Because raiding is categorically analyzed by dozens of groups of 8-10 high-end autists and broken down into a video that describes every working part of the boss fight (of which they are many) and reduces it down to "stand here, do this," every guide you could possibly be looking at is the most reductionist bullshit seen this side of a Ganker argument, the product of days of studying and dying to mechanics so you don't have to, so of course it's going to appear shallow. Such a guide for any other game's hardest bosses fight would be laughably short because there's less moving parts, you personally are in full control of how everything is going to turn out and not somebody else in your group not thinking of how their actions affect yours, and there's no time limit on how much damage you need to have dealt to the boss before it decides that you're playing too slow and badly to proudly say you "beat" the boss because you were good at playing the game.
I want to frick a lalafell
I want to (again)

Go on...
Just really enthusiastic and could actually write, knew the perfect point between too much and not enough. Plus you can bounce them easily in many positions
You can't just say shit like that and not expect some questions
do tell, anon
>Is this really how you manage difficulty? No need to think fast or react to things?
Nobody except pure autists actually like difficulty, that's what the devs understand and why FFXIV is successful.
>The devs understand that nobody actually likes difficulty
>that's why they stacked their raids full of artificial difficulty
????
Like you said, it's artificial. People want the illusion of difficulty so that they can look good and brag in front of others, they don't actually care about difficulty.
I wish this statement was true but FFXIV devs care too much about high difficult content.
>FFXIV devs care too much about high difficult
anon we get four difficult fights that become easier over time through time gated loot once every 8 months and a single gauntlet duty on a currently unknown basis that's mostly made up of recycled assets while the rest of their development time goes to casual stuff like dungeons, crafting systems, relics, msq cutscenes, other experimental stuff like island sanctuary ishgard restoration, etc.
If XIV devs have a bias towards something it is NOT towards difficult content.
and even then the casual stuff is REALLY REAAAALLLY shit like lackluster. So no, you're wrong.
lackluster in what way? They even get higher budget assets like voice acting while higher end content is lucky to get a few voice clips or choreographed cutscenes like in eden.
outside of the story, the casual content is pretty lame. custom deliveries are a good example of a lame thing. absolutely brain dead crafting of items for a simple weekly turn in. then, you have the beast tribes, daily turn ins that you literally cannot lose even if you chose the "wrong" options. dungeons? you mean the piss easy straight line that comes out once every 4 months? wow. really good content
It has to be braindead because the playerbase is braindead. There used to be a time when crafting was difficult but those days are gone.
>crafting was difficult
There's never been a time where crafting wasn't completely solvable with nothing but macro spamming.
This.
Also I fully expect EW to have DRS as the only ultimate of the expansion, just like ShB.
They got away with it once and will again if they can.
thyve been talking about working on the next ulti a lot so that's prob not gonna be the case.
It was the same thing mid ShB they were talking about working on ultimate a lot...
You're not considering the circumstance for that, though. DSR is effectively a ShB ultimate still. 90% of the work for it was done before EW's release, they simply didn't have the time to QC test it so they shelved it for the time being.
So that was 1.9 ults being created during the peak of the pandemic. Now that it's died down a lot, I'm sure they can manage to churn out a single one for EW. I don't think we'd get 2 for EW, though (still considering DSR as an ShB one)
>Also I fully expect EW to have DRS as the only ultimate of the expansion, just like ShB.
>They got away with it once and will again if they can.
I hope
This character is really good, even with bright limbal rings.

Literally just avoid the generals and you'll never see any of this shit.
You legitimately have to go looking for that stuff, only reason I even heard about it is because you homosexuals talk about it.
Didn't all the super high end WoWgay raiders get completely filtered by DSR?
i don't know if echo continued progging it but i don't think they cleared.
MDI is over, they're gonna go back at it soon
Didn't they get filtered by eden forever ago when they first started?
Wowtrannies can't do anything without 200 addons, 5 addons to manage their other addons, 2 bots and a dilator in their ass
To be fair the majority of ffxiv raiders use callouts (cacbot receives constant dsr updates) and some even more cheaty solutions like live waymarks and omen drawing (this one isn't publicly available)
>the majority
no
XIV raiders don't use these cuz it's already built into the game and mechanics are more streamlined.
Not the majority but post THAT macro in ur pug chat and see how 1/3rd of the people there get disconnected kek

Devilish.
I'm a quad legend with 1.3mil MGP in the bank and (I think) I own all the mounts and cards (except the 1mil Cloud one)
Most people do their daily cactpot no matter if theyre casual or midcore or poopsockers anon
>(except the 1mil Cloud one)
Did you confuse Fenrir (the giant ice wolf) with Cloud's motorcycle? Cloud's motorcycle is a cash shop mount.
I’m pretty sure he meant the TT Cloud card. It costs 1 mil.
>people are just going to bot GS again
Raiders won't do relics unless there's an ultimate in 6.5.
At least enough for 1 relic, maybe 2 if I get good rolls in the relic gacha.
How did they manage to make normal trials even easier than they already were?
>fallen party members can now be res'd
>a single (1) (one) wipe causes the echo buff
Is the average player really this bad and impatient?
>fallen party members can now be res'd
That was a gimmick only for trials with stages you could fall off of, otherwise you've always been able to res in normal trials
By saying normal are you being literal and only referring to Garuda/Titan/Ifrit, or just the non-extreme versions of trials?
If it's the latter, retty sure echo is based on time, not amount of wipes.
You need to spend x minutes fighting the boss before wiping to get echo. You could wipe 10 times in under a minute after pulling and wouldn't get echo.
The rezzing thing is just QoL, there was no reason to have some fights respawn your body after falling over the edge and some not.
oh god, don't be that pedantic butthole. you know """""hard"""""" is the normal and has been for quite some time.
I'm being "pedantic" because there's a literal "normal" mode trials in the game, and the "fallen party members can now be res'd" thing he brought was mostly an issue in a single fight (Titan), which is why I mentioned it. The only other fights in which you couldn't be rezzed after falling off were I think Leviathan and Sephirot.
Also my entire post still assumed he meant the latter anyway, which I literally said, so you're sperging out over nothing.
yeah, I really felt it in endwalker. they went out of their way to give them such an utterly simple rotation on normal, they end up repeating several times. it's quite boring.
>Is the average player really this bad and impatient?
More than you can imagine. They've had to nerf and put in easy mode for MSQ fights. Like where you fight sadu or use estenien.
You would be surprised at the amount of people who can barely do normal mode.
I know a girl on my FC who refused to continue to do more MSQ whenever she had to do a dungeon, unless she was carried by the FC's simps. Girl took 2 years to complete the MSQ.
>Had a whole alliance wipe to the giant robot punch opener in Copied Factory
Either 50% of players play while looking at youtube on their second monitor or 50% of players have a terminal mental illness
>fallen party members can now be res'd
That has been a thing since forever, it was only a "thing" in 2 or 3 ARR/HW trials
>a single (1) (one) wipe causes the echo buff
That has also been a thing since forever, almost every single major patch they add that to atleast the MSQ trial that was added in the path before. It was only in ARR and HW that wasn't a thing
>Is the average player really this bad and impatient?
They are worse than you think. I've had runs of the (current version) Sircus tower hit soft enrage when people either refused to do anything other than auto-attack or where all but 1 tank didn't have tank stance on and refused to turn it on because... Well, just because.
I still leave every (normal) Zodiark trial I get put into since it's still an almost guaranteed wipe atleast once for some fricking reason and it's always at EL ROTADOR
Okay, so did you clear it?
bros I'm not even level 90 on Astrologian but I'm running out of hotbar and keybind space. is undraw worthless, can I just take it off?
did it? Cleared it after wiping to the star mechanic. table turn didn't do enough damage to outright kill people even landing in a behemoth
Unfortunately, a lot of people think it's hard. I felt DSR was really easy. I had to wait for my static members to catch up because they'd frick up simple mechanics.
If it's so easy maybe you should've parsed above a blue, F'whalon Rhiki
Damn you're good how'd you do that?
I imagine there aren't many F apostrophe characters who have cleared DSR
good point all right time to tell this guy's static he's being a back stabby b***h on Ganker talkin shit about them
My group already knows how I felt about them messing up since I'm the raid lead.
>easy
>3 months to clear with 100 different guides
you didnt beat it
Damn, F.R my bro! Love /waving you fellow Leviathan chad
t. T.M
I fell for /vg/ and rolled on Crystal
Did I make a huge mistake? Noob on trial btw
hahah dumbass yeah you got tricked. Remake before you get too far.
Already got 4 jobs at 60, 2nd level with beast tribes, and almost starting HW MSQ
Too late?
nope. I restarted at pretty much level 59 in HW to switch servers.
yeah it's too late, now gimme dat booty
That's up to you. You gotta ask yourself if you want to start over. Knowing what I do now I would recommend it.
It's not that big of a deal especially if you're that far in.
If it gets "bad" just transfer your character.
ah, nostalgia. I also rolled on balmung because of vg. just wait for your world to become full and migrate to anoter DC's preferred world for free. thats what I did
Which is better? Aether or Primal? On Primal the only world with road to 80 is legacy, does that matter?
I want to eventually raid endgame, but not in the autistic way. Maybe join a nice FC and try to take on hard challenges together.
go to aether, primal is the south american shithole
>I want to eventually raid endgame, but not in the autistic way.
Primal is for you and it's fine to be on a legacy server.
go to primal, aether is a gay hugbox
Aether is basically Crystal at this point so if that's your thing pick Aether
Well that depends.
Do you consider yourself good enough at the game that you won't drag down more experienced raiders and will mostly likely never be yelled at for fricking things up? Go to Aether.
Do you consider yourself competent enough to figure things out alongside a prog group and you intend to do your research while still learning how to clear content one wipe at a time? Go to Crystal.
Do you want to pretend you're a god at the game and fail near-constantly at everything while blaming every other player for their failings while wearing a Legend title, wielding Legend equips, and having a Mentor crown attached? Go to Primal.
Aether has a pretty good hunt group across the servers so I can say that is a bonus. I don't know how good crystals is. Hunting so you can get materia is pretty useful if you're going to raid.
primal and aether are basically the same raid wise
Legacy doesn't matter in 2022
Just teleport to a new dc and stay there
Don't waste your money and stop listening to opinions of worthless morons, you never get any player interaction in this game no matter which data center/world you play on, the epic stories you hear about le harassment are all made up shit here that functions as a form of social interactions because just having a conversation doesn't work in this place unless you mask it with ten levels of irony.
>t. has played on EU and NA both, Balmung, Mateus, Zalera, Adamantoise and Omega
if you are raiding you literally do not want to go on crystal, the most players out of all the fricking servers and do not clear. this is just a fact they've released clear rates for each server.
Doesn't matter what server since cross-DC is now live.
>Doesn't matter what server since cross-DC is now live
this sucks cause now all the moron crystal players are gonna shit up pfs.
you have this moronic notion that the server notorious for its roleplaying community is going to go elsewhere looking for what exactly. all you homosexuals are coming to us
i really just wish balmung and mateus got it's own dc with 3 new servers
>if you are raiding
You have to be brain damaged to want to raid in mmo games. You can get the same fricking experience of wrangling morons playing Dota 2 or CSGO without having to play a subscription fee.
im sorry but i raid with my friends, my problem is that when we need to fill for 1 or 2 now dumbass crystal players are gonna be coming in
You and your normalhomosexual friends are the ones that are going to be shitting up Crystal, not the other way around.
why would i go to that god forsaken server filled with unironic morons
You made the right choice. Endgame raiding in this game is boring as frick, especially when fights keep getting dumbed down to big target in the middle and class complexity has fallen off a cliff.
>playing with /vg/
If you don't mind playing with literally mentally ill people then there's no problem.
>giving lalafells fat breasts and asses is pedo behavior
Why did shortstack enjoyment get coupled with pedoshit?
because shortstacks and e-girls don't exist irl and the only analogues are dwarves and children because most people are taller than 5 feet.
I know multiple women between 4'0 and 5'0.
Well, I tried P1S and never got past Fourfold after 45 minutes. At least I can say I tried and don't feel like I wasted my sub.
I really hate hard difficulty raids. It relies entirely on your team knowing what to do and any kind of mistake means a wipe. Doing that green fire quest in WoW, and the artifact skin quests was the most fun difficult content I've done in MMO's and I wish people learned from it.
Wow. Are a lot of you on Levi as well?
nah I'm on ultros
Levi is based, too bad the LS has been dead since HW
Even /xivg/ clears this content together. How was this difficult? A clear is a clear.
ERPers are usually huge autistic raidgays as well. There's a lot of overlap.
>Is this really how you manage difficulty? No need to think fast or react to things?
Yes and this is why healing in XIV is boring as hell in endgame
Other MMO's raids as a healer
>tanks are constantly taking heavy damage
>random unpredictable raidwide damage
>dispels or cleanses needed
>some encounters would actually put unique debuffs on raid members where they required to be cleansed at a certain times or when said party member was in the right position
>healer CC would sometimes be needed
>harder raids even needed healer assignments
XIV raid as a healer
>spam nuke and dot
>toss a OGCD for the raid and tank every now and then because all damage is predictable and completely scripted
>proceed to do your DDR movements with the rest of the raid for mechanics
>Esuna? Never heard of her
I've cleared current savage tier. There's 0 healing checks besides life agonies and an AST can just press 1 button for it. Everything else can easily be healed with OGCDs.
no shit savage can be healed like that when everyone is overgeared and optimized strats have been put into motion. Do savage week 1 or ultimate on current patch and see if you get away with playing like that.
Except I did? I never had to hard cast a heal except during boss immune phases where I could toss out a shield.
show your logs or a clear pov from week 1 or you are 100% full of crap
i very much doubt you or your co healer didnt hardcast barriers for ultimate impulse or curtain call during week 1
nothing he said is wrong. healing in xiv is a joke and so is tanking. the roles are dogshit, the encounters are a different subject however.
I really need to see these other MMO's you are talking about. Cuz healing in WoW is even worse.
You actually heal in WoW though. Healers in XIV are just a DPS with a 2 button rotation due to the lack of randomness.
>You actually heal in WoW though
Yeah, because it's the only thing you do.
god forbid the healer actually heal
some of you are pathetic at taking criticism
the problem with that is ping. I myself play with 200, have cleared 2 ultimates and only because they are static encounters. it would be much harder for me were they reactive fights
healers that only dps and healers that only heal is the same issue anon
the game has decided there are set times to heal. just avoid the orange circles, not my problem.
>healers that only heal is bad
tell me what should healers be doing anon? Should DPS who only DPS be a problem too then?
is spamming glare different than spamming flash of light?
yes. glare spam makes the fight go fast. heal spam wastes everyone's time.
since you two are being intentionally obtuse, we're talking about the two meta games in which ffxiv healers don't heal often enough to feel necessary and wow where all healers do is heal
>wow where all healers do is heal
wow healers DPS too in mythic raids and mythic+ though no where near as much as healers in XIV do
Also people are forgetting removing debuffs is a huge thing in WoW raids too and nearly non-existent in XIV.
With this line of logic why have different classes in the first place?
healers that only DPS is good since you can heal while you DPS
>god forbid the healer actually heal
Yeah, it was literally that way back in Vanilla/BC. Paladins LITERALLY used one button: Flash of Light. For the entire night, for the rest of the game's cycle. With every ten minutes or so being able to do another button in there.
Which was moronic obviously, but nowadays it isn't that different, instead of using 1 healing button, you use 4 in case of Holy Paladin mythic+ healing. But you literally dont anything else. It's almost the fricking same as XIV, except it's for damage.
>some of you are pathetic at taking criticism
I'm not the moron who knows nothing about how shit healing in WoW really is.
Except not only do Healers in WoW heal, they also need to cleanse and put out some damage for mythic content while in XIV you'll spend 99% of your time dpsing.
Reacting is more fun to me but also leaves more room for error. I'd rather have to see something then think about what to do than memorise a 15min fight in full
Even norf agrees how shit healing in WoW was, and this dude played for like 10 years or so:
Skip to 7:10 mins
WoW's healing is shit but it's still better than XIV's. Go look at the official healer forums for XIV. It's constant crying about how boring it is.
Good, then go play healer on WoW.
I already do chud
Sure you do buddy, show me some sepulcher logs.
lalafell all deserve death
With what exactly? I cleared shit day one when Endwalker came out and I vowed to never repeat that experience again playing with people that can't tell left from right and it wasn't on Crystal either. have a nice day, worthless redditor.
>With what exactly? I cleared shit day one when Endwalker came out
yeah man those extremes are very cool i guess.
there literally wasn't any raids out day 1 you absolute fricking moron
Dilate.
Yes, it was bad enough with extremes, good job making my point for me.
imagine getting filtered by chakrams so hard you quit the game
lmfao
>strawman
>strawman
>literally quits the game over chakrams
You morons should try solo Deep Dungeons.
The rush you get whenever you see you have less than 10 minutes to do a boss on the last 30 floors of any of them is fricking unreal.
I am somewhat interested, but I don't want to farm the potions for necromancer runs.
I have Lone Hero title. PotD is just fricking boring. I'm sure I could get Necromancer if I tried long enough, especially since everyone says that the higher floors of PoTD are actually easier than the higher floors of HoH, it's just the pure autism of grinding up to 171 everytime to start the actual run. It's like 12 hours of boring nothing to get to 171, whereas HoH takes 4 hours to get to the real part.
Made it to floor 96 on HoH and died like a chump, not sure if I want to try for it again since I was so fricking tensed up from 80+ I thought I was going to give myself an aneurysm.
Is that REAL?
rate my dick sucking lips
b***h got a metapod glued to her head
here's your new toto rak bro
Thank you, it's delicious.
i'm not really sure what to say. i hated the old one too.
new dungeons are all soulless linear garbage. The only thing I hated about the original was the goo and the magitek shit
>I HATE homogenized classes
>I HECKIN LOVE homogenized dungeons
frick this gay community
I haven't seen any major complaints about class homogenization outside of Ganker though. most people seem fine adapting to the 2 min. burst playstyle.
get out of the reddit for a second and just look at the official forums.
>official forums
alright, another extremely small percentage of the player base.
now's that a cope
go back
In every game there are only a very small percentage of people who use official forms, reddits, or even threads on Ganker. None of them can claim a majority voice of what the playerbase want.
>moving goalposts
I'm also browsing the SE forums now and don't see anyone complaining, care to point such out? The only remotely similar thing I can find is a few samurai threads asshurt about losing Kaiten, which is not the claim you made.
official forums, GD and roles section, both in english and japanese, where you can read literal hundreds of pages of people absolutely shitting on healer design and kaiten removal
>inb4 hurr durr doesnt count
It was ultimately just a Band-Aid over a non-existent issue. People left dungeons after they leveled up so they made bosses be the only ones to give exp in dungeons but that in turn just made doing extra mobs in these dungeons worthless so there was no point in keeping them. They probably should've at least TRIED giving the trash mobs more exp before gutting them, especially if you want to streamline the leveling process and make it easier/faster anyways.
Serious question, why is every single nation in FFXIV a multiracial melting pot? Why don't any of the races have a single, major race-centric city?
Ishgard: Elezen and Hyurs
Gridania: Elezen and Hyurs
Limsa: Cats, Roes, Lalas, and Hyurs
Uldah: Lalas, Hyurs, Roes
Thavnair: Elephants, Hyurs, and Au'ra
Doma: Apparently was Hyur, Roes, and some Au'ra
Ala Mhigo: Cats, Hyurs, Roes
Even fricking Garlemald was multiracial
Why did they write it this way? Is this some sort of subtle multicultural propaganda? I refuse to believe every single nation realistically would be a bizarre assortment of different races and they'd just get along.
>Serious question
7 apocalypses later people are going get shuffled around
Hyur simply can't be stopped.
There was one race, and it was perfect. Then one b***h went and fricked everything up, now we have multicultural overpopulation to the point where the Lominsians fight for territory with the goddamn kobolds of all things. Emet could have blinked and ridded the Ancients of their entire species.
Basedkawa hates the idea of Japan becoming a melting pot, the downfall of the Ancients was a warning: no women leaders in goverment
Tribes of Azim Steppe are all Au'ra.
Happy?
>Why don't any of the races have a single, major race-centric city?
They do. They just have a sizeable minority as well. I'm at work so others should be able to expand on it
>Ishgard
Elezen, with a minor Hyur population
>Ala Mhigo
Highlander Hyur, with Gyr Abania also housing a Seeker tribe and the snake people
>Azim Steppe
Xaela Au Ra, and there's a lot of tribes: you only ever really interact with a handful directly
>Thavnair
Au Ra and elephants, Hyur came later
As for some cities:
>Garlemald
The actual city is Garleans. The empire itself assimilates the population who are obviously non-Garlean
>Old Sharlayan
Its population are descended from an ark containing every race
IT'S AU RA
IT'S NOT AURA
AND IT SURE AS FRICK IT'S NOT AU'RA
HOLY SHIT
It's an MMORPG, what did you expect. You're never going to get engaging gameplay from a raid. Especially from FFXIV, which is at the bottom of the pack among its peers.
As relevant as ever
WHICH one would most realistically say the N Word and REFUSE to apologize?
Alisaie it just slips out, she apologizes
Lyse too dumb to know what it means, she apologizes after saying it
Y'shtola says it venomously in true anger, refuses to apologize and threatens to say it again
>Say the N word
Just say Black person you moron.
Its the same in WoW and Lost Ark
Why yes I do enjoy laughing at FF andies with McConnel in Asmond's chat.
back to your hugbox if you dont want to see complaints moron.
>never got any kino scenes between zenos and emet
missed opportunity
Eh, I doubt it would actually be as good as we'd like to think it is. Ultimately they'd both just regurgitate the same things they've said to other characters but maybe with a little bit more sass.
This guy was too good for this game.
"Frick you, frick shards, frick Azem, frick your crystal mummy, and the damn dog you rode in on too. I regret nothing. My ideals are invincible. Inviolate."
>Loki from MCU FF Edition
Emet would just run away from Zenos like Elidibus.
I don't like the hardcore simon says aspect of FF14 savage content. It's really just 1 autist who memorizes it all and does call outs while other 7 do what he says. Or gays using mods to cheat.
I just play normal and extreme. That's enough for me. Would like to do DR Savage though for dyeable judge armor.
Yeah this is why I don't raid. The game is incredibly unforgiving if you don't perform the exact dance steps the developers designed the fight for. There is one way and one way only to finish a fight, and at that point it stops being a "game", and becomes a recital.
You Black folk always say this but then fail simple mechanics like kampeos harma because you can't handle reacting to the number above your head not always being the same.
>implying that moronic homosexual even knows what kampeos harma is, let alone how to handle having a tethered number
>because you can't handle reacting to the number above your head not always being the same.
Yeah just pull 100 times so everyone can get each iteration of that mechanic and know how to solve it. The real and fun difficulty. It was the same with wormhole.
>pull 100 times for a piss easy mechanic like kampeos harma
You have no idea what you're talking about and you have NEVER stepped foot in TEA.
i cleared all ultimates except for DSR and you're just mad that i have the reason. Just let it be dude the game is that way.
Sure, but it doesn't seem as easy to PUG as BA. Maybe I'm wrong.
dont understand ali hate
it was fun watching the cheaters not getting praised, then called out by Yoshi-p. hahaha
>clear dsr, all raids and ultimates within the patch they are introduced
>try pvp because people say its the best its ever been
>it's shit
Mini game mode sucks like Elden Eing's mini game mode, of course.
I don't know why they feel the need to make it a simplified babymode shitfest, WoW doesn't strip you of buttons in PvP and it's had tons and tons of engagement ever since it first began. Just give us our fricking buttons and let the garbage fall to the bottom of the ranks, Yoshi.
rofl imagine melee trying to land a full combo on someone in pvp
>play RPR in Frontline
>jump in an enemy
>if you don’t jump back within 1GCD you’re dead
Using your full non-PVP Rotation in PVP would be asinine. It's 99% of the reason why people despised the pre-rework PvP system. Reduction of buttons and making every single job have a unique playstyle is unironically the best thing we could have gotten and is the best PvP has ever been for XIV. Any person even pretending they want to input Mudras or do PvE boss rotations among a dozen other players is either a liar or a moron.
It works in WoW because every class has a lot of utility and CC built into their kit. In XIV 90% of jobs buttons boil down to "do damage". The revamp was necessary to bake these things back into a bunch of jobs and some more.
>I only just tried PvP after I spent 1500 pulls in DSR
Ask me how I know you're full of shit
>almost 6.2
>our raid group is only just now starting to learn p4s second form act 2
the race is on, will we clear before the patch?!
Are you me? My group is pretty much in exactly the same position.
Wow. Well best of luck to you guys this week. I'm hoping we can both clear.
P4S part 2 is a puzzle with massive healer check on the curtain call, if You use guide it should be done within a few hours at most, if you don't use guide it's your brain check and may take forever if your IQ is too low.
P4S stopped being any resemblance of a challenge the second people geared up, good luck though anon, I think your raid group will easily clear before 6.2
Not OP but I gave up on p4s after the 6th reclear without loot. Frick that I will never try to gear up shit in pfs. I'll do it for the next mount and then just forget about raiding
I've legit been doing it in pf for fun, I usually would join page runs or 1 chest because there was nothing to do before DRS came out.
You have like what 7 pages now with 6 reclears? Go for one more page and pity that piece of gear anon.
Actually 6. I'd also have to get 8 more books for wep so there would be no end in sight. It would be nice farming this with a group of people I know just making sure we don't get stuck in pinax or act 2 or bullshit like that. I regret not making a single friend in these past 5 years but my autismo was too much
I gave up on this game when I realized they would never stop with the Dance Dance Revolution gameplay
At least in 1.0 you had to react to visual cues
I went back to playing various FPS games since they actually required more skill than FFXIV
>At least in 1.0 you had to react to visual cues
Actually there are still some visual cues you have to pay attention to though and its not always the same due to different variations of some mechanics.
Usually I'm pretty happy about SE's XIV service but this whole world transfer system thing is such a fricking joke. Open up new servers and instead of letting people transfer to them they decide to much about with the gimmick DC visit system for two weeks first and are extremely vague about when actual world transfers will resume.
First it was "when things are stable", then it was "after next maintenance", now it's "somewhere next week if everything remains stable".
who ios this enemy
he looks cool/ is it the garlean prince?

>TBN is so shit bro the enemies never break it
This is what happened 30 seconds before you die to an expert dungeon wall-to-wall pull and the tank complains that the healer isn’t good enough and starts single pulling.
Isn't this proof that it is easy? You can play like a complete fricking moron and still beat the hardest fights in the game.
Innocence EX (the log this is taken from) is about as hard as an end boss in a normal raid.
Now if you want to talk about easy content, just take mythic raids that you can clear with half a dozen boosties
This has to be Max, holy shit. I didn't think it was this bad.
Liquit Maximum? The raid savant?
The one and only 5th place finisher in a 2 man race, you got it.
Yeah mmos are kinda shit. GW2 had some fun map even stuff in the expansion but it was a little dull aside from that.
I want to play more of this game but there seems to be nothing to do after MSQ outside autistic ERP and autistic raiding. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and get into crafting.
>get into crafting.
welcome to the world of botting
Have you done any exploratory content? Tried alt jobs? Fishing? BLU spell collect? Or even BLU raiding. There's also relic collection. I hope the new dungeons and island sanctuary will help during these content drought periods. I hope this last one won't be weekly locked so that I can fully focus on it
Uhh bro??? Bozja and Eureka???
>want to move to a new server
>do all the prep
>new servers are empty for two weeks because degenerates wanting to mass visit Balmung get prioritized
OP gonna put a lot of emotionally unstable XIV players who place too much self worth on their ultimate clears into a depression spiral.
>"buh... buh... but muh legend titles!!!!"
Well done you manged the virtual equivalent of a synchronized swimming routine, by memorizing a guide and getting seven other morons with the baseline competency to not frick up for 15 minutes.
>the virtual equivalent of a synchronized swimming routine
isn't this "hardcore raiding in every mmorpg in a nutshell" tho? How is it so different in yoshitpiss' fino fana. Isn't it the same shit in every mmorpg?
Synchronized swimming is a pretty challenging sport and is represented in the Olympics though. It doesn’t help your argument to compare Ultimate to a sport that requires several months of training just to nail down a single performance, not to mention the years it takes to improve the swimming and endurance skill necessary to pull it off.
Did I say synchronized swimming? Sorry, I meant aqua aerobics for pensioners.
Also, guess we found someone buttmad their legend titles are being made fun of.
I don't use Ultimate weapons or Legend titles though but good try. I just enjoy clearing hard content with my friends.
If you spent half as much time playing the game as you do vomiting your petty jealousy all over an internet forum, you could aim higher than expert dungeons too.
If it's so easy why haven't you done it?
OP IS A homosexual THAT HASN'T EVEN CLEARED 1 ULTIMATE
ff14 does not have enough nuances to the combat to make that interesting mechanics. i really hope they put some new mechanics in with 7.0
You also gotta learn the mechs in the first place, unless you use a guide, then you have no right to complain about the difficulty
This is now a Yugiri thread.

???
Yes
Anything but Shinten spam
Outright removing it with no replacement is asinine
SAM players are morons that play the job soleley because "me loke big number" so they didn't raise a stink in ShB when SE took the job out back and shot it but they care now that SE cleaned a bit of the viscera off the stuffed corpse. Mainly because most SAM mains are shadowfetuses
They made most jobs worse in shadowbringers that's not a secret, and not a reason to accept any of them to get even shittier now
Is it normal for lvl 40+ summoners to constantly swap their summon in a single target fight? My summoner is lvl 44 and I haven't played it since endwalker dropped, but I thought the playstyle was
>garuda for aoe attacks
>ifrit for powerful single target attacks
>titan for protection/target
but recently while levelling my other jobs I keep seeing summoners who, just to attack one target, will summon each of their pet one after the other
>has ifrit out
>summons garuda
>then titan
>then ifrit again
>then garuda again
>then titan again
I literally hear the sound of another pet being summoned at least 8 times within a time frame of 10 seconds, please tell me this isn't normal
>titan for protection/target
meant to say "single target"
they got a rework, that's how you play it now
its normal. you cycle through your pets now because they have charges on abilities. you are not a dot mage anymore. you are an actual summoner. summoning things.
Only PvP can be difficult. PvE is an illusion of difficulty, a trivial choreography to make subpar players feel good. Thankfully square enix gave us these exclusive mounts to separate ourselves from the common folk.
>dedicating oneself to the shittiest, least updated mode in a game so you can try to brag about it on the internet

So fricking close to perfection
Video games are objectively not hard for they are subject matter. Even then MMO's are one of the easiest genres of games since literally everything in an MMO is designed around repetition. With no amount of randomness it is only a matter of time before anyone and everyone can clear anything and everything if they take the time to learn the sequence. The only real "difficulty" in an MMO stems from dependance on others - not something inherant to the game itself - and probably the only thing that could ever keep an MMO "difficult"
>With no amount of randomness
WoW content has plenty of randomness, what are you even on about?
how is it random when you have timers that announce every mechanic?
Because the mechanics do things that are random.
then xiv has plenty of randomness too
Not really, most of the time "random" XIV mechanics are just a binary selection, every option of which can be memorized.
so just like wow then, either you get picked for a mechanic or you don't
>so just like wow then
No, it's significantly different. WoW mechanics can have enormous levels of random variability.
the mechanic itself doesn't become more complex because it has more people to potentially target
I agree, and that's also not what anyone said.
that's the only randomness available though, target selection
otherwise the mechanics are very static
Lying on the internet just makes you look stupid, anon.
Then why do you keep doing it?
I don't, you just haven't played WoW like most people here.
I played during nathria, did decent in heroic but couldn't find a mythic guild because the game was so dead
>here, check out these parses that are totally me, i swear
and here I thought you'd go off on it being heroic parses and not mythic. Ask me about the mechanics and I'll answer the best I can (it was a while ago, my memory isn't perfect) to prove it's me if you don't believe me
I did up to council in mythic with random groups I found btw
anon, it doesnt matter if you have proof. hes going to call you a liar regardless because conceding that you are capable of doing something would utterly shatter the narrative he has in his head.
I'm just curious why people think the fight design is so different between the games. Wow bosses have fewer mechanics but throw them out on a quick rotation while Xiv bosses have longer rotations with fewer repeats. In a way the bosses mirror the class design between the games funnily enough. Bosses like shriek and hungering were VERY boring due to their 1232314 style rotation movesets. They're dance fights with very few steps yet people are drooling morons and can't move out of slow moving projectiles for some reasons.
Inb4
>shriek's projectiles are super random! gotcha!
we went from the bottom left pillar to the bottom right and the only people who got hit were the droolers who didn't move for some reason. It's not random if the solution is the same every time
no kaiten = no sub
Bunny scion when?
Disgusting
>Is this really how you manage difficulty? No need to think fast or react to things?
FFXIV fights don't require any meaningful execution, it's all about the trial and error process of solving the puzzle. That's why the players get so assblasted about trigger addons and such; it completely trivializes the only challenge the content offers.
Then why is it that players who use triggers syill don't instantly clear content? Why do players that do clear content not clear it instantly with triggers?
>still doing p4s because there's one guy in my group who can't get his shit together but the raid leader refuses to replace them
Speaking of that, did you guys like this savage tier
Me and my static found it really boring compared to ShB in general, only p2s was really cool with how they used the arena
1s is easy boring and shit.
2s was cool.
3s was horribly designed fight aesthetically and while the mechanics are fine, 99% of the time your own party is the enemy.
4s was fine week 1-2 and then it became too easy as people kept getting better gear.
A solid 6/10, not the worst first savages of the tier.
>the mechanics are fine,
>99% of the time your own party is the enemy.
Why yes I do enjoy moronic black mages who decide they absolutely need to stand in the dead center of the boss model every time there's a tether mechanic coming up (tl note: that means every other boss ability)
Originally it was women only but they had to change it because they didn't want to get cancelled
>be dude
>see women only dc
>join anyway
>”nooo, you can’t “
>”don’t worry, I now identify as a women”
>”b-but”
>”You want to see my totally girly dick?”
i love xiv chat cringekino
is there a collection of these anywhere, i especially like it when it's a party arguing
Yesterday while farming antitower, I was reading a conversation in chat from other games' refugees about macros and how this game sucks because you can't macro your rotation to single buttons. It was interesting
this is a big one
open at your own risks
idgi
>hello I am 100% not male haha how about we all send pictures of our feet on this discord as a joke haha
God bless this coomer moron.
kek this, it's definitely a guy baiting women into it
its actually a bunch of troony hating women that make you verify that you are a real girl with id but they probably dont do that anymore after people tried to cancel them
I hate that rabbit can't wear law's order helmets. I hate that they went out of the way to let Hrothgar wear them even more.
>high end content
>mmo
lmao. lol. those of us without autism are just waiting for island sanctuary.
high end mmo content is objectively more difficult than 99% of PVE games.
>inb4 muh dark souls
lmao
>>the difficulty from ultimate comes from complete memorization of where to stand with each itteration of the mechanic and the other to memorise it as well
AAAND everyone thats cleared them use 3rd party cheat tools that tell the player how to do literally everything.
how? I thought they removed that ability.
just because you can't clear them even if you cheat doesn't mean other people can't
people streamed their first clears with no cheats in sight
>people streamed their first clears with no cheats in sight
You know it's trivial to hide addons on a stream, right? You just stream the game without streaming the overlays.
until you can prove they did just that they did it legit
I'm not obligated to give them the benefit of the doubt lmao.
What is with Crystal attracting all the rejects, and how come Primal doesn't face this issue?
Everybody I've seen on this datacenter is a neanderthal with a few rare exceptions, how can a database be filled with this much sheer stupidity
Is it really all Balmung's fault?
I WANT OUT
Does XIV ever recover and have cutscenes as high-quality as 1.x again?
we're veeeeeeery slowly getting there
maybe
I like how you gays always post these 1 out of a 1000 cutscenes as if they were the norm, and not the stock emoting scenes like they are in the current game.
Did you have a fricking stroke? He literally just asked if the cutscene quality has returned to what it was in 1.0 (the source of that cutscene).
Yes.
1.0 cutscenes were pretty neat.
The funniest motherfrickers in these threads are the ones who make up that theyve cleared all ultimates and high level content but suddenly realized that, actually, the game is bad after years of playing.
They ran out of options how can make encounters now. Modern post-shb job design doesn't like fights with high randomness and % phase pushes. This is why unreals like leviathan, titan or even ultima felt off.
I expected newer savage tiers to be more like DSR but on strict timer.
>actual gameplay discussion
I cant pump to this, wtf.
KNEEL, FF homosexuals
whats wrong with nu-wow models faces
these eyes look off
Extremely ifnerior to her HOTS model, all the good artists seem to have left Blizzard now too. Art and music was all they still had going for them and now the art ranks seem to have been filled by literal fursuit degenerates.
Look at this. These frickers look more gangly than Elezen.
huh?
>kneel to an ugly woman in a stupid hat
No thanks.
>woman
*Type B
>Yeah we're going to fix the shitty way crit buffs work
>Wait 3 months for it though
Why are these c**ts so lazy?
They're not lazy, they're just incompetent.
shut up you dont understand
they turned the game to shit... so they can fix it later
this is how you develop a video game, idiot, go unsub if you don't like it
