Boring story and characters

Yes, do that on

The saddest post. Not someone posting as a janny, which is pathetic enough already, but someone IMAGINING that they are a janny who does it for free
Emet-selch was right.
The gladiator was fun to do solo.
I haven't played them yet, but I'm glad casual players are finally getting actual content instead of being relegated to banal facebook minigames.
Yeah. I don't know what the gays at SE were thinking doing non-combat content in an mmorpg with that depth.
>casual content
To be fair Criterion Dungeons (Normal) are harder than Savage, Savage Criterion even more so .
>To be fair Criterion Dungeons (Normal) are harder than Savage, Savage Criterion even more so .
Seriously? Nevermind then, looks like the game still has frick all for casuals.
The variant portion of it is made exclusively for casuals, it auto-scales to party size (even solo) and its got a lot of replayability with a bunch of lore. It's also a non-linear dungeon with lots of secrets and community involvement. It's pretty good for casual content. But the Criterion and Criterion (Savage) portions are what I described, a Linear route in the dungeon that's Savage level by default, Savage+ on (Savage)
>The variant portion of it is made exclusively for casuals, it auto-scales to party size (even solo) and its got a lot of replayability with a bunch of lore. It's also a non-linear dungeon with lots of secrets and community involvement.
I don't care about any of this unless they made it more engaging children's Zelda games. So far none of the casual content in this game meets that criteria.
Criterion are alexander raid with a dps check difficulty
Criterion are Alexander with more personal responsibility and you have to kill 3 bosses in a row within 90 minutes. Even progging the last boss is more effort because you have to get past 2 other bosses and all the trash.
okay but what are the rewards?
Nothing. If you cry about it then i gonna call you a moron because if i eat shit then you also need to eat it
Nah. Realistically ASS is some of the hardest EX tier content we've had in a while, but still EX tier. It gets called harder because you can't hard carry morons through with rezmage and there's only 4 people so one moron will drag your party down disproportionately. Savage ASS is spicy for sure, but because the only reward for it specifically is a title, people are engaging with it less than a raid tier
I agree with you but I also think that the Abyssos Savage tier is generally easier than some extreme fights.
And its also easier than the Critierion Dungeon
>Abyssos Savage tier is generally easier than some extreme fights
what. EX fights dont even have a real DPS check, don't have much to mit, or even much to heal. the hardest EX i can even remember was probably thordan on release. i heard devour filtered PF for a whole week and shit healers/tanks got deleted by the raidwides/busters in 7 and 8 in the first few weeks
This tier in my view in one of the easiest on DPS players because the "dance" of the fights is more straightforward than normal, often involving less movement overall and the bosses have XBOX HUEG hitboxes so you can just striking dummy your way through for the most part. It's not exactly Dante Must Die tier on tanks or healers but it does require them to actually push buttons and they haven't had to do that in a while so it's a definite step up. Most stressful for healers who PF shit because somehow you're always going to get a shitter cohealer, but that makes it a bit interesting and almost makes up for DSR being the easiest Ultimate to heal
Yeah but P6s and P7s are both glorified sandbags both with exactly one real mechanic.
Like I get the NUMBERS are less forgiving, but all that shit is just gear checks more than anything else. In terms of a barrier of execution, Barbariccia is a way more mechanically demanding fight than something like P7S.
I like ex fights much more. They're more imaginative than anything savage does because they focus on fun>difficulty. Wich savage does the contrary to that.
P6s is fine for a savage I feel. 7s completely shuts the bed though, literally striking dummy for 7 minutes into 3 moronic puzzle box mechanics that are also basically brain dead once you have the solution. Purg was the only interesting thing in the fight but unfortunately the brain-dead strat is the absolute best way to solve it. Honestly I think the fight would feel way better if the harvests were just spread throughout the fight.
They are not
>P5S
Other than devour it's a really easy fight
>P6S
Joke fight, harder
>P7S
Even bigger Joke fight, savage tier mechanics don't start happening until 7 minutes in
P5S is about where it should be as the first fight of the tier imo.
The other two have no excuse being easier than it.
It's only "harder" because limited raises. The fights themselves are like two EX mechanics fit into a 6 minute window. Limited raises is such a fricking garbage difficulty limiter, and you just know it isn't changing for the next two either.

>What problems do you have with the game?
boring classes with static rotations which can be played optimally with a simple keyboard macro because no player decision making is needed, and low-effort gear which only serves as stat increase which means no motivation for doing endgame content
Yeah im seriously 1 step away of just macro my rotation. I guess the only shit stopping me is search for the pluggin or some shit.
massive cope
the longest combos are over 20 buttons that need to be hit in order every time
tons of utility skills that need to be used suddenly and optimally as well
and the classes playing somewhat similarly to the others in the same class type is a good thing. it makes it so that every single class is viable in virtually every scenario, unlike wow where there's hard metas for everything.
your post is massive cope yes
the game is moving closer and closer to a homogenous single button rotation
press 1, press 1 again, press 1 again, press 1 again
take a look at PVP to see the future of your job's rotation in 7.0 - but you will not get the same unique variety of skills that are seen in pvp because every job must play exactly the same and fit the 2minute burst meta
frick ARR, frick HW, frick SB and even frick SHB. welcome to EW moron job design, less buttons, less flexibility, less everything
sure, but look at the end game savage gear! don't you want to keep playing to get it?
has anyone ever used a fantasia? how do you cope with dissonance of unironically trooning out?
I was considering changing to a lalafel but I have played as my current race since 2.2. it doesn't feel right, it feels no different to starting on estrogen IRL and claiming i am a woman
no
but I will keep running on the hamster wheel to play frontlines and grind relic weapons because I have no control over my life
You sound crazy. If you want to be a troon irl i wont judge you, anon.
i used a fantasia and i regret it already haven't even made it through the login queue what is wrong with you fricking groomer homosexual FRICKKKK I JUST WASTED 5 BUX I WANT MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER BACK
>can't hide visor on the helmets
Worsese yet the gay purple glow is for caster instead of fire that every caster cast FIRE And ranged helmet fits better on caster (more for summoner with the horn)
i'm a lalafell so not being able to hide the visor on the NIN helm just looks weird to me
Doesn't savage gear look the same as normal gear?
Yes but you can dye it
Then why don't you post your logs, sweetie? 🙂
I haven't played since the first tier of Savage was completed, honestly didn't enjoy the last 2 fights much and feel like the MSQ concluding was a decent enough note to move on or take a break from the game since I have been playing since late ARR. Maybe I'll come back at some point since Black Mage, Monk, and Gunbreaker were fun but the healers still feel boring to play compared to before.
>He didn't enjoy the last fight
Skill issue? Or whats your deal
My guild/static was having some drama about people quitting or taking a hiatus around that time and filling spots with randoms was not very fun for those last fights. Partial skill issue for 3 because eye cancer but otherwise fine enough.
You should just play in PF, I do PF every tier and it's a lot of fun. You can progress at your own pace, if you want to go hardcore 16 hours a day you can, if you want to play 2 hours a day or less you can. No more life revolving around a static schedule. On top of that if someone in your group is made you can just join another one, no drama trying to deal with a bad player in a static. You also meet a ton of different people and have a good time.
>it’s easier than EX
You haven't done in PF/with randoms have you? It filters people more than savage let alone extreme.
>You also meet a ton of different people and have a good time.
You legit dont PF raids if you think that. Savage is hell and people are all incompetent morons. Why do you think they gather the good ones in a static?
Anon like I said I do every single tier in PF and it's always a good time. "Why do you think they gather the good ones in a static", a vast majority of statics are casual shitfests that take 2 months to finish the tier. Filled with the most casual of players who don't even bother getting the full crafted set so they fail DPS checks and no one calls them out on being grey. It's hilarious seeing static players come into PF and struggle to play because they don't have a raid leader calling out every mechanic and reminding them what to do.
>vast majority of statics are casual shitfests
What kind of static do you join? I get that you're lying, but why?
Dude pf is a fricking nightmare. You're playing roulette each week to see if you get a good group. I don't like statics that force you into a schedule but there's literally no other way.
They probably do pf raids they’re just a moron with nothing better to do with their time than risk wasting hours with pf morons that can’t make it halfway through the fight despite joining a clear party.
Door bosses are shit.
>Are you guys happy with variant/criterion dungeons?
It's the best bit of content added to the game since 2.0. It's EXACTLY what the game needed and I'm having so much fun with it. The obvious issue with it at the moment is that the rewards suck wiener but that seems to be a global complaint in all regions so they must know about it. If they can add these semi-frequently (at least every other patch) and give good rewards I'll say it's a perfect addition to the game.
You'll get one every 3 years and like it
moron

Don't tell me that, tell Square that with all their new content being Savage level.

Oh I'm bad at the game. But how do you get better at games, anon?
Congrats on being a freak who is instantly good at everything without practice, but you should be able to understand most people are not like that.

>Hasn't cleared the tier yet
>Freakishly good
When was the last time you beat a game on a difficulty beyond "story"? Jesus christ, anon.
You are not only bad at the game, but are also moronic.
Our progress rate is pretty frickin casual anon. If you think that's "freakishly good" you are probably a turboshitter.
>You have to no-life to be good enough to beat Savage.
If you're fricking hemiplegic or some shit, sure
My group does about four hours a week. We've mised two weeks of prog due to various bullshit. We're getting close to finishing P8S. Get frickin good homosexual.
>there’s literally nothing in between poopsocking a raid and reading the VN that is casual XIV
I didnt say you have to no life it disingenous Black person
give savage raiders an achievement or a title or something like that, don't lock gear behind raids. everyone wants gear. at least give people a way to get the gear if they can't do savage. make it grindy, who cares, but there needs to be a way for everyone to catch up on gear.
There is.
Alliance Raid coins literally let you get the ilv630 tome gear which is on par with the savage gear.
The issue is it takes them like 6 months to fricking add this instead of having it from the get go, and the savage loot lockout stays way too long.
Yep should reduce that authistic loot restrictiin cause most statics and raid parties got that shit in less of that time and its not gona extent any sub besides shitters raiders
Alliance Raids are on a weekly lockout but you can run it as many times to roll on a specific piece of gear? How does that work?
I find it very underwhelming.
I just don't see what's so special about it to warrant """resources""" being devoted to it.
Yeah they’re pretty fun. I wish the criterions had better rewards but it’s easier than EX so I get why they didn’t do it. And there’s basically no reason to do ASS(S) besides the title.
I see more players filtered by the hamster than barbariccia
Really? I found it easier just by virtue of being a shorter fight where you only see each mechanic once. Like if your group keeps fricking up the tethers, it’s viable to just wipe until you get an easy pattern then clear and move on.
>Like if your group keeps fricking up the tethers, it’s viable to just wipe until you get an easy pattern then clear and move on
Sure eventually that works but then progging the second and third boss with significantly less time is suffering, that's another reason why it's worse than even Savage. The mechanics on the last boss have a lot of personal responsibility and are P8S tier, having to reclear the entire instance each lockout is a big barrier to entry for people that aren't super consistent on the previous bosses.
If the next dungeon gonna pull the same start boss in the 3 ways frick it and also the pulls are annoying tied to nanamo and too smalls
4-man is just more convenient than 8-man… PF fills faster and it’s less likely someone fails the one mechanic that wipes the whole party.
I hope they put elements from the variant dungeons and put them into future normal ones. Dungeons are the most uninspired part of the combat. Idk if I can take another ten years of straight line, pulling wall to wall dungeons with no unique part that changes each run.
>leader start crying cuz savage filtered him too hard
>says he's not going to do last savage and only ultimates cuz savage is shit since heavensward
I dont get it. Savage and ultimate is just the same shit. Both have shit mechanics but one is harder. I really dont get it.
It's because he's learned the mechanics for the ultimates (probably the easier ones like UWU) but got filtered by the mechanics in the current tier.
Basically, he got exposed and is coping hard.
I've done ucob and tea with him (he mostly only likes tea) and have hated all savage fights for some moronic reason that i cant comprehend.

>get the option to gut the lying roe b***h who turned people into monsters and mind broke other
>npcs says that she is dying so no point
FRICK YOU I WANTED TO GUT HER,EVEN WORSE YOU CANT SKIP THE CUTSCENE
Is it true that Matsuno had the entire plot in his mind before the dev team let him write it with Bozja as the setting?
I personally find it hilarious that Bozja, the Hrothgar homeland, was therefore wasted on a plotline that basically gave us next to none actual lore on a playable race's culture and instead focused on a Femroe. Marsak and Bajsaljen are such non characters.
I wouldn't be surprised, seeing as the WoL is basically a side character to the OC donut steel that is the lobotomized FemRa.
as terrible as stormblood is, the influx of au'ra waifus it had makes it forgiveable
Stormblood's post story is better than Endwalker's main story.
But are any of them good characters?
Oh yeah, her and the Ironworks Viera girl as well.
I know he confirmed that he didn't know the MSQ was going in the direction of finding a cure for tempering and it was too late to save the Blades, and created the RDM story in Zadnor as 'compensation'.
I also just remembered that we got Lyon and Papaga in the Saints Wake transformations but again, 0 Hrothgars.
However, seeing Hroth and Femroe players go to war over Misija has always been a treat.
i hope we can just chill with old man lyon and tsundere papaga without any scions or any matsuno homosexualry. get a new writer.
>Gabranth fight planned
>Gets cut for future content
>Cuts future content all together
>Kill Gabranth offscreen
WHY
Matsuno fired and no gay dev want to continue that, blame yoshitpiss for that and the hack of matsuno
matsuno is a homosexual and a scheming homosexual MUH PLANS homosexual is always boring. see golbez or zenos in every post 5.0 patch.
Cause they suck building that type of villians even with the best fujo writer only exception was elidibus cause no onw got expectations high
I've been busy with work to do them yet...
Its okay anon you dont need to rush the content.
a realm reborn is the most boringest bullshit i've ever had to play through
Rewards suck but if they put cool glams behind it, it will be the new hot shit
Haven’t made time for it past the 1st and 2nd criterion boss but it seems like good 4 man content. Bosses were fun to learn and provided a decent challenge. It’s a good start. Too bad if I want to do the savage I’m basically locked into playing my 630 job and I’m not about to go through more weekly loot rolls to gear another job I might want to try. I hate the mmo loot systems designed to artificially space your playtime over months so fricking much.
Why don't just make savage easier since we have ultimate for the turbogays? Devs would have more leeway for fun mechanics instead of putting difficult as a priority.
8 man content is fine where it's at. The problem is 4 man content has been so stale for so long. The last hard 4 man content we had before criterion was fricking ratholos ex.
There should be alliance savage made with pf in mind
That's kind of what BA and DRS were, but this stupid community only uses discord for those.
I never did BA but you'd never get past golems with PF
I'd say you'd never get past slimes too but the cheese strat makes it possible
Ya but they were locked behind hours of side content wich a lot of people would never touch for some autistic reason
Yeah Eureka was pretty shit and was a heavy investment for anyone. At least Bozja wasn't as bad and you didn't have to enter an instance to get into DR. You have to be pretty autistic to want to do savage alliance shit in general. Relying on that many people not messing up is a real pain.
>Relying on that many people not messing up is a real pain.
Thats why i said they should be done with pf in mind. Just a little harder than regular alliance but not enough to be savage.
Cause penalization was so crap you need voice chdt to coordinate that shit
they don't need to make it easier, just more fun mechanics. door boss and p5s are amazing. p6s and p7s drop the ball so hard, nothing happens until near the end of the fight and its so boring. and now with gear, you skip the worst parts of each anyway. even week 1 you just tank lb'd or healer lb'd because the dps check was incredibly lenient.
Well, they did that already. That's why we have Ultimate. Raids were too hard for casuals so they toned them down and made a split for Savage. Then Savage was too hard for Casuals so they toned it down and made a split for Ultimate. If they do it again they'll be expected to put more time and effort into Ultimate, churn out more Ultimate fights for sure and I just don't think they care to do that
>If they do it again they'll be expected to put more time and effort into Ultimate, churn out more Ultimate fights
Why? Isn't the chink always saying to go play something else? Just dont release more content.
Ultimates suck and are level restricted. No one wants to do super poopsock difficulty content with their fully mastered job scaled down to lvl 70
Then why make savage this hard if no ome want to do hard stuff like you said?
You can raise spam through almost all of ucob and it has no dps check. Ultima is also a joke now. Ultimate Legend is a bigger red flag than mentor crown now
I'd rather they stop making ultimates entirely and give us more Extreme/Savage tier content
Yeah same. Ultimates are supposed to be super bosses and they shouldnt be this common. Even more if that means more content elsewhere
Savage does get easier because you can eventually outgear it, unlike Ultimates, which are iLevel synced. You're going to have to learn the mechanics unless you're unsyncing a couple expansions later.
The problem with doing something between story mode and Savage is that it's a big player skill grey area, and you'll still have people complaining that it's too hard and others complaining that they're falling asleep at their keyboards.
>you dont outgear ultimate until you do
lul
Also
>and you'll still have people complaining that it's too hard and others complaining that they're falling asleep at their keyboards.
Balancing the game around the 1% who rush week 1 without even going to work nor sleep or the rest of the playerbase....hmmmm where have i seen this before.
There is no need to change anything in terms of difficulty. V&C are the answer to people wanting to play more harder content without putting the amount of time down necessary to go through a tier of savage. If people can't deal with that I really mean this, S-E will never satisfy such a demand.
Literally no reason to run them, the rewards are all crap.

Because trannies love it. It's a pink rat, just like them.
Trannies also love breathing and drinking water. Maybe you should stop doing that unless you want to troon out
>Trannies also love breathing
Wrong
This is the most moronic logic I have ever seen. If all trannies started to love eating your favorite food would you stop eating it?
How?
It's a fricking hamster, not a rat. Both hamsters and rats are cute anyway.
You've clearly never seen a hamster in your life.
All you had to do was google, are you moronic?
Hamsters don't have rat tails, moron.
And hamsters don't have elongated heads like the mount either, frick off moron.
Guys, if WoL died in Graha Tia's original timeline at the end of Stormblood and never time traveled to Elpis, how did Venat know to summon Hydaelyn and give us powers?

I wish there was something to do while queuing for something, the Island is a nice first step but is not enough. At least make some shit for the goldsaucer that is not instanced.
Variant isn't casual at all, I tried it and the boss I fought absolutely fricking annihilated me.
Yeah variant is like extreme mode for 4 man. Only variant is casual friendly
variant is way too easy.
Criterion is fun, but I wish it was easier to learn the fight blind. My team wiped a lot to the first stack mechanic, due to the whole freezing if you stand still while stacking.
How have you done Exdeath and Elidibus and whatever other bosses and not figured out Ice = move?
it's not super clear that that the stack is going to freeze given it shows multiple times that the ice is a cross aoe and doesn't freeze you before?
you ever think you play a game so much that you are so beyond the average person? Was just having some fun with my bros while playing anon.

It should override the BGM for nearby players.
at what level does the Firmament stop being a good way to level my DoHs? 70?
80, especially since Ronka tribal quests are stingier with XP.
Just dedicate a couple hours to levequests and gathering collectables. That should level you up quickly.

I wouldn't know, I don't play Extreme or Savage, or Extreme/Savage level content, and that's what they are.

i finished HW tribe quests yesterday, Vanu's ones are pretty crappy, Vath and Moogles were ok i guess
I don't mind the Vanu and Vath quests because I do them anyway to level alt jobs, but you basically do the Moogle ones for completion's sake once all your crafters are at 70.
All the beast tribes are shit
Dwarf tribe story line is fun, because you're building tanks with a bunch of perpetually drunk lalas. I have a soft spot for the Namazu too, even if you're preventing the extinction of a bunch of moronic fishmen. Elephant Initial D was silly but enjoyable.

Do you get paid for this? Serious question
Have you heard their cutsey female voices before? They sound fricking terrible.
Much better ways to develop Tinnitus these days.
I don't know. I came back from a long break from the game by immersing myself in Bozja duels and DRS stuff, and had a lot of fun. It feels just like classic WoW raiding with the scheduling, huge parties, lots of tank responsibility, and big penalties for dying. Got all the stuff I wanted for augmented law's order gear in 5-6 runs, too.
>tfw end up shipping Merlwyb and Lorens after theor role quest and lodestone tale, despite story insisting their relationship is purely familial
Is this what being a Thancred/Minfilia shipper feels like?
Mommy Merlwyb would break him. And he'd enjoy it.
I really liked Lorens. The company of heroes having a secret captain was kind of a boring twist, but the fact he actually shows up with realistic reasons on why he left, and why he returned made him feel very genuine.
him at the end of the role quest going now dont be mad if i pretend i dont know you when we meet in the future really spits in teh face of all those 1st 13th doom and gloomers.
will i like DRK if i like GNB
The core rotation is simplier but its still about just as busy as GNB both in Mitigation and attack skills.
DRK is like if WAR players actually wanted to press a button that wasn't Fell Cleave.
Eh, maybe. Optimal play for DRK is a pretty literal 30 seconds of straight souble weaving followed by 90 seconds of more or less just 1-2-3. So it's more focused on the burst and not as fun for the downtime. Or you can say "frick the burst and just have 1-2 oGCDs for every GCD spread out over the whole fight and do really similar rDPS so people on fflogs won't immediately know the difference.
DRK plays like a more complicated WAR. Your burst window is full of double weaves, then you're just 1-2-3'ing until blood weapon/delirium come off cooldown. I'd say GNB is more like PLD, with a lot of stuff that's on the GCD (but with more weaving).
Probably not. GNB actually has a rotation, but DRK is just mashing buttons with no rhyme or reason every 60 seconds. It literally doesn't matter what order you put your oGCDs in, unlike GNB's Continuation.
WAR is unironically more complex than DRK just because it actually has choices in the rotation. Eye, or Path? Save Rend for gapclosing, or use it asap? Burn gauge now to have a cleaner entry into IR, or save it for later?
DRK is a binary playstyle of:
Is ogcd up? Press it.
It's so fricking boring.
>WAR gays jumping through hoops to pretend their job has complexity
This entire tier has been hilarious to me watching WAR gays go from circlejerking about being the best tank for every piece of content, to b***hing about how OP DRK is, even now when its the 3rd place tank for damage.
You can't sit here and tell me DRK has anything going on post-ShB rework.
Darkside is not a mechanic. Blood gauge is the same thing as Beast gauge, except more predictable and less bursty. The only buttons that aren't part of the 60s burst are Living Shadow(which I will admit takes one braincell to save 50 Blood for), Salted Earth(which all of the damage has been moved into Salt and Darkness), and Shadowbringer(which is just a bigger Edge of Shadow).
The ONLY interesting and unique tool in DRK's kit is TBN, which has been the same cope from Stormblood. I just want something new instead of playing nothing but GNB for savage/ultimate and WAR for everything else.
No but I don't really see DRK gays ever try to hide the fact their job is the way it is.
WAR gays on the other hand are obnoxious, a dime a dozen, extremely outspoken, and I enjoy when they're upset.
Tbn got old with the new tanks own tbn this expansion, hell i could swear gnb tbn is the best of all currently
Also oblation skill is a joke alongside shadowbrinergs reskinned edge of darkness vfx
>He thinks Oblation is bad
and thats how you find someone who doesn't raid.
I bet you think Dark Mind is also bad.
Nah dark mind could be usefull if this game doesnt make a mess of damage types in aoes and everything
Different anon here. Is Oblation ever used in isolation? Would anybody cry if they deleted it and just gave TBN a 10% mit?
Yes all the morons defending oblation shit in this board
It is technically useful in dual-tank fights, like Ultimates with two boss phases, because it doesn't take the cooldown of a personal skill.
GNB's Heart of Corundum is a single cast.
WAR's Nascent Flash has a shit ton of healing, but the majority of the effect is on the target.
PLD's Intervention uses the same resource as Holy Sheltron.
Oblation is just a little different and awkward. It's nice as a personal Reprisal, but feels negligible. There's never been a situation where a single party member that isn't a tank benefits from a 10% shield, but I haven't done the recent Savage, so maybe there is?
Nope shield healer can cover that thing effectively and no boss bust any member outside tanks
Dark Knight never uses a mit in isolation. The job is busy both in ogcds for attacks and defense.
But if you're asking if its used without TBN, yes this tier is great for that.
Use Dark Mind + Oblation and Rampart to take a TB itself and then use TBN on the bleed and DRK shrugs off a lot of the tank busters this tier.
Dark Mind and Oblation both being short CD mits means DRK will always have a baseline of 30% mitigation for every TB. The job is actually really good at shrugging off damage.
Show source smartass
I play the job and I've cleared the savage tier?
I dont know what else you want.
Parseshit or log
>muh unofficial fansite highscore number
imagine caring about this shit
>is shit
>d-doesn't matter anyway!
every time
Those numbers look pretty good to me aside from that phase 2 P8S score
>this is what parsing does to your brain
I cleared last week and do not have bis.
I wont see that much higher numbers until I get that this late.
Basically, theres some uptime greeding you can do but its mostly just that.
What does a tank even have to do for good numbers? Just press their 123 without skipping a beat and hoping the healer shields them enough?
DRK has small optimizations, like knowing when to hold off on edge of darkness to maximize the amount of MP available during the burst window, or getting TBN popped at the right time to have an extra edge available during the burst window.
>Measuring DRK meter regen to almost top off but not overflow above 100 from a server tick and waste resource
>Measuring WAR meter regen to almost top off but not overflow above 100 from a gcd attack and waste resource
they should frick off with that anxiety inducing balancing act
Biggest brain thing DRK can do is carry a Dark arts stack into a burst window to have both high mp and an additional edge.
Its not really worth it though.
Also raided woth drk phoinix savage and dr tbn + oblation+ rampart mitigate the same as pld sheltron+rampart of phoinix busters so its a crap mitigation that uses 3 buttons
Obilation is nice because it has two charges (which means it's basically free mitigation since it's such a short CD) and you can put it on a teammate.
Anon not even ultimate you need mitigate another player besides you that shields healer job
I'm not upset about WAR. I really like the job, I've played it since 2.0 when it was barely fricking functional as a tank.
My issue is that DRK had a wonderful, engaging identity in HW, which got neutered by the crossrole system in SB, then turned into WAR-lite in ShB, the SAME EXPANSION that introduced a ton of fun mechanics with GNB! They clearly care about tank design, so why has DRK gotten fricked? I don't care about DPS or raw mitigation numbers, just make an enjoyable experience with the job. The only thing DRK has going for it is oGCD vomit, which GNB does better.
>DRKgays salty about post-HW changes
>SAMgays salty about Kaiten
Which group is more assravaged?
Scholar
Blue mage
Dot SMN
Was a moronic design copypasted from wow warlock
I'm not a SMN, was only pointing out those gays crying about that rework
The only bad thing about currnt summoner its being so braindead and stupidly strong of dps more than a red mage and still stuck in arr primals the job should have lot of new summons next expansions( warning triad) and have some complex summon resource building alongside all spells being each one different primal attack
Agreed, SMN is missing some buttons, feels like a level 70 job
It's hilarious how removing Kaiten from SAM instantly time warped the job back to level 50. Raw iaijutsu feels so fricking bad, I permanently swapped to MNK.
Those people don't exist
DRK fans have had their suffering take place across years, by gradual changes.
SAM got fricked by the removal of ONE button that didn't need to be removed.
Depends what you think is worse.
If you call that shit a choice you re braindead more if you agree ninja flank attack its not useless this expansion with the hoton attack refill button
Armor Crush hits harder without a positional than Aeolian Edge, so if you're out of True North charges and not able to get a positional, you should use it instead.
Huraijin is the designated shitter skill.
Staying on boss ass is easier than that crsp you writted there ate fee exceptions of boses turning 180 degrees
Are you moronic? Using Hurajin is worse than using Armor Crush, so your point about Armor Crush being useless is flawed.
Oh no i lose 0.01% dps
If you don't care about playing the game, why try to talk about the combat?
I cared and still acre until my static dies but your moronic defense of a flaw in ninja flank attack make it wonder why ffxiv gays are infamous
>Responding to an obvious ESL troll
Don't.
I need the meme viera face
so... what now, that I've cleared criterion? also why is it called "criterion" dungeon instead of just sildah savage. what criterion are they referring to
Now you do criterion savage
Is there a savage savage? I thought the "normal" mode was variant.
There is variant, criterion, criterion savage
Variant, Criterion, Criterion (Savage). Criterion is realistically high end EX, but there's just more accountability, fewer safety nets so people call it savage level. That said, all that the real savage gives is a title and the same currency as Criterion but more of it per run
What's the title?
"Infamy of Sil'Dih" IIRC
>What problems do you have with the game?
there's only enough content to justify subbing for one month out of an entire expansion if you're not a raidtroony
Bozja is the best content in the game with the best waifus
Duels are some of the best content in the game and I'm pissed that Lost Flare Star/Excellence cheese exists.
shut up homosexual.
you homos dont even play the game.
Cope
Frick you im not learning mechanics I just want my buff and 99 boxes to buy more cheese sets
learn the mechanics you fricking Black person
seeing morons jump into Lyon with 500k of lost actions popped and just giving up on the first set of eruptions is the most pathetic shit I've ever seen
Doing duels as a melee DPS draws a huge crowd every time, few people have seen how duels are properly done, always gets big cheers when I call out the buff
No. I will not learn the mechanics. I will burst Lyon before he can do his first real mechanic. I will instantly die if I am too slow to kill him before then. I will get cheered and praised for when I cheese him. I will get my 99 lockboxes and make back my cheese set 10 fold. I will continue to trigger and cheese duels
I get accolades and shout outs even outside Bozja. People remember my name. They trust me when I say that a buff will be going up in about eight minutes after the CE ends. I don't know what you do it for, but that's what I like.
What a stupid reason to do it for one. For two, I also get exactly what you are describing. People recognize me outside of Bozja and whenever they see me get a duel they all rush to it because they know the buff will be going out and people even flame noobs who take duels from me in shout chat. I get all that you get for none of the mechanic learning work. Cope
They would have been cool if you didn't have to live in Bozja 24/7 to learn the fights. I cheesed the frick out of them with no regrets
>6.3 sidequest redacted
isnt it just more omega stuff? or unulkahai?
Yoshi keeps saying there's going to be a big twist between now and 7.0 that basically turns the entire world as we know it on its head. Who the frick knows at this point.
my guess is its an heretofore unknown force that the Twelve and Golbez are aware of, to tie the two stories together
Its gonna be a big snake at the core of the planet emerging
They're doing all of this void bullshit as proof of concept for shard hopping. We're going to have to find some hidden bullshit on the shards in order to drive the serpent out of the Lifestream or some shit.
After the shit apocalypse of twiteion i dont give a frick whst yoshitpiss says the shit citystates are nuke/wipeproof
Holy buzzwords, calm yourself.
Twins growth spurt confirmed
Never ever
We either unintentionally trigger a rejoining (that doesn't kill anyone) or it involves Azem's crystal that we've been carrying around.
I think it mostly has to due with the fact that the Thirteenth being improperly returned to the first is having dire consequences
>WoL gets forced to trigger a rejoining or several or otherwise everything will fall apart without Hyd and Zodiark around
That would be a good moral dilema, having to willing cause a disaster to save their world and killing the thirteenth will simultaneously killing people on our world for "the greater good". Could have good conflict with people who usually agree with everything we do and make them against us (Kan-e, Nanamo, Merwlyb, the twins, etc.)
The theory I've been going with for a while is that without Hydaelyn and big Z around to "anchor" the Shards to the Source they were going to start drifting into the Void (not the Thirteenth the traditional FF Void) and eventually be destroyed, so the only way to save them would be to find a way to Rejoin them without having to destroy the planet in the proccess. I feel like at least one of the remaining Shards will end up Rejoined the old fashioned way though.
The world turns out to be a simulation ala Star Ocean 3.
That would legitimately cause me to quit playing.
I know, it'd be such a hilarious shitshow.
Why is he even saying this? Does he fear people will lose interest after the EW MSQ? He can just lose with shitty teasers like that.

WAR just seem like entitled babies, they want all the self healing, all the mitigation, and all the damage
It's the dev's fault because that's exactly what they had until ShB. They came to expect just being the best at everything just because.
I don't know a single WAR player that asked for Raw Intuition's change or Bloodwhetting, Nascent Flash was already stupid strong. Also, group content is balanced around DPS checks, mitigation/heal checks are binary and easy to pass.
I don't know why you're hyper focusing on WAR when PLD has the most difficult rotation and had the shittiest damage in early EW.
I just like to shit on WARs and remind them they're never going back to Stormblood days
Stormblood was weird, Heavensward was the real shit:
>50% Berserk meant crit Fell Cleaves bursted harder than melee DPS
>Equilibrium on a 60s cooldown meant infinite TP, only job that could use Sprint in combat
>Holmgang on a 180s cooldown was incredibly fricking broken
>Storm's Path having universal damage reduction
>3 different combo enders for damage, buff timer, and mitigation
>makes groups wait 45s for optimal pull countdowns like a chad
Why does PLD have to work twice as hard to do basic tank shit like partywide mit?
Was harder in ShadowBlack folk with the authistic requiescate mp optimization and That your party shield can be overwritted by any heal
>worst questline
>worst mitigations
>bottom tier dps
at least they got the sword and shield aesthetic like a discount Dark Souls character
Warrior is in the shit as dps
At least WAR gets a partywide mit that applies with a single skill as well as a heal in their basic b***h melee combo.
PLD is doing more damage overall than DRK now. Its just people aren't going to abandon a job this late into a tier.
Yes the Greatsword class does less damage than the shield and sword class but has higher raw mitigation and defensive utility.
Wut ?you re high on holyum drk dps is absurdly high but paladin should have better mitigations besides fixing his dps rotation
Thats what you'd think but no.
DRK is actually the best job at raw self mitigation with the standard lineup, but because of Dark Mind, Oblation and TBN's fat shield its the best self mitigating tank.
DRK's BURST damage is unparalleled for tanks, and is the 2nd highest in the game period. But over the course of a full fight PLD and GNB will overtake DRK's damage.
That was on ShadowBlack folk with the high direct hit rate stats
Blame Xeno.
Because PLD players are kinda sad?
No PLD player I know wants to be the highest damage tank, they picked the one holding a fricking shield. They want it to be the strongest in defense and utility.
And yet fricking Dark Missionary is a better teamwide mitigation than anything PLD can do.
Just buff Divine Veil to not be shit or require a healer middleman to trigger, the tools already there in their kit.
PLD can trigger divine veil without clemency, but they have to be in magic phase.
I do like that PLD leans more into the spell swords now, and its got some decent self healing. The potency buff on Confiteor really helped it more than I thought it would
Variant Dungeons are fine, some of the fights are even fun. Criterion Normal is unironically too hard. 3 bosses in a linear hallway that all require a 10 minutes guide to solve and are more punishing with the moronic resurrection restrictions, I legit didn't have any fun clearing that. Like, I am glad Savage raiders have more content but it can't be so hard to make dungeons harder than braindead without resorting to convoluted mechanics. Content that asks me to play my class very well without the need to study some fricking encounter DDR.

Can someone really pinpoint why leveling in FFXIV (for the first time ofc because for alt jobs you just daily) suck so fricking much?
Cause you have to WALK
Because you don't have armory bonus and MSQ can be a slog
I don't see how leveling your first job sucks unless you just hate the MSQ.
Because you're not enjoying the story. Either that, or other MMOs have conditioned you to rush to endgame as soon as possible.
Slow down. Level two jobs with that sweet MSQ XP. Enjoy the ride.
Why is sold as a mmorpg when it's trully a VN? Serious question.
>For alts it's just daily
I dunno, getting to level 50 still feels pretty annoying since your only daily is leveling roulette.
You don't have the Frontline roulette unlocked? Even if you don't like PvP it gives a huge chunk of XP daily.
How hard/annoying is Eureka/Bozja at this point? I need to tackle both to get the cards needed for the card mount.
Bozja has lots of people during primetime on weekdays, at least on Primal. I just got into Zadnor, so I don't know what the population's like there on most days.
Eureka is autistic unless you play a chad job like WAR, PLD, WHM to solo huge packs of mobs, NM trains only work if you're already close in level.
Bozja is way easier, just group up and do skirms/CEs in between your story quests.
Doing all of the field stuff shouldn't give you much difficulty. Your major pain points will be Castrum Lacus Litore, Delubrum Reginae, and the Dalriada since you'll have to organize your own party for those activities since very few people do them on a whim anymore.
its easy. its a trash story and raid. pf is fine unless some homosexual read a guide and insists on specific roles for a speed run then their pf will be open for hours lol.
The difficulty in Eureka is just a big XP grind. For Bozja the only hurdle will be creating a PF for DR, and maybe CLL?
Is Leviathan the Primal with the least personality?
Its a big fish what personality gonna have besides desire to destroy ships and drown creatures and eat?
It could reflect the Sahagin's values as a race but magnified and twisted until it's harmful for even them like the other Primals?
That's what it does. Leviathan is the Sahagin version of Limsa's Thalaos, the origin of the "Till Sea Swallows All" slogan. The mythology is that Llymlaen created Thalaos and Peryktos to create the oceans, but she couldn't stop them from spitting out water and they were going to flood the world unless she sealed them away. The Sahagin deified that idea because it meant they would be granted dominion over the planet. The Sahagin don't need a primal to twist them, they're natural scum.
Novv isn't so bad. Granted, it took the Calamity and like 90 of his kids getting slaughtered like vermin for him to realize what the cycle of violence was and that if the Sahagin didn't learn what diplomacy and peace was the other races would genocide them, but he's okay now.
I was raiding as a BLM for a bit, but my static already had a SMN. Feels bad that I can go in with an all-crafted gear NIN and have a significantly easier time that does more damage than BLM as the flexible dps.
Everyone always brushes off BLM complaints with "favoritism means you'll never suck" but they miss that we do sometimes get shafted with mechanics and aren't having fun playing, or we're forced to work a lot harder to stay mid-tier where more braindead classes can be high tier with less effort since we're almost never the best at anything.
The favortism means you'll never have your class changed.
Yoshida does not play this game so any issues it may have will also be ignored. Its a double edged sword.
>Yoshida does not play this game
Breh the man regularly parses purple or even orange each tier
>yoshi doesn’t play the game
The frick are you talking about? Dude legit went to crystal rank in PvP and regularly does ex and savage stuff for fun in random PFs.
>people actually think thats yoshida playing that account and not a publicity stunt
lol
He plays on stream several times and doesn't play like a moron tho.
Do you have any proof it’s not him?
Another struggle is it feels like going anywhere, the most popular jobs will be DRK, GNB, and SMN. Like those are practically locks, if you are in those roles or even also in those jobs, it's hard to find a group that doesn't already have them if I go into PF, and a lot in my static are one-job-forever people.
I'd suffer through being like an average BLM early through progging or clearing raids instead of a good SMN because that could still maybe mean I do more damage, but if I have to compete with melee then you have to be doing great just to still do worse than all 5 melee jobs doing good.

Transfers are free, so unless you're attached to your FC or you want to do the MSQ, get mounts, etc. all over again, just transfer.

Unless it's physically not in California, there's no reason to go on a dead DC

I think Variant dungeons should be the new standard for MSQ dungeons
Maybe not all of them, but I wouldn't mind seeing a few thrown into every expansion as base content.
variant-dungeonize all dungeons
make a roulette called Expert+
I actually kinda like solo content in this game.
You can solo them?
They scale from 1 to 4 players. You can solo or bring a friend or pug it.
oh neat. Going to have to try that next time
If you untick the matched party box, you can enter as any party size, can do them solo or duos if you like.
Deep Dungeons, Duels, and Variant dungeons are good
If anything, Variant dungeons should be harder, and Criterion should be soloable
Before the patch I was expecting the Variant Dungeon to be a chore like MSQ gameplay but I somehow had a lot of fun getting all the 12 endings solo.
A harder version to solo would bei nice though, like Bozja duels.
>What problems do you have with the game?
Healers are really, really dull to play.
Maybe the role is not for you then, anon. I'm quite enjoying playing the Sage.
Sex?
I dunno. At one hand theyre great when everything goes to shit and you use everything to pull it back. But I feel very little involvement beforehand: interesting ways to prevent it going to shit. And when everything goes smooth I just find norhing to do but press the one attack spell and refresh one dot.
>Healers are really, really dull to play.
I don't know why they wont give Healers different attacks bound to the same button similar to GNB continuation. When playing as the npc's they also only use button to attack but that one button turns into like 5 different attacks.
Imagine WHM but instead of just Glare 3 spam all game its Stone 4 > Glare 1 > 3 > Flower shit > big flower shit
Because ffxiv combat design team is 4 chinks and they said multiple times they need to make healers moronic otherwise "people" aka trannies and woman, won't play it.

New SMN is pretty braindead yet feels really good to play. Really hope they unfrick scholar to something similar.
nu-SMN feels like shit in everything except level 86+ content, and even then it feels like a level 60 job.
I'm sure it's that way so they have enough ability room for at least 2 more expansions. Also I like its new design relying a lot more on skills upgrading rather than learning new ones to bloat the bars.
Yeah I like sightseeing log, but wish there was more to it other than "fly around looking for glow orb and emote". ARR was cooler but annoying.
man I'm scared to think of whats more moron proof than just 1 button for dps but damn at least show me some different animations
How about making all AST cards AoE?
If you make them have different effects like in PvP, them I would be ok with it
Lol
As if.
Its the same as we have now, except that, to accommodate cumsole players, all cards are now AoE and are nerfed to 1%
You joke but a buff system based on rng was a dumb design to begin with.

I still mouseclick on my buttons because I can't find a key that's comfortable to hold down while pressing numbers for my 2-4 hotbar that doesn't also require me to rely on the mouse for movement which is slower than using wasd.
Take the side mouse buttonpill.
yeah.. but how does that all work when you change classes?
On all melee jobs, I have my AoE combo on my mouse buttons, because it lets me move around and easily use skills. On ranged DPS, I have my basic attack spam buttons on the mouse buttons, since it's uncomfortable to WASD and spam 1 all the time. You could alternatively bind your most commonly used button to any key easily accessed by your left index finger (e.g. R, F, G, V)
My mouse has five side buttons but 3 are for mouse speed so I only have 2 I could use.
I only have 2 plus scroll click, yet I manage just fine.

What the actual frick is wrong with pvp NIN
Stronger ranged attacks than ranged classes
Half HP heal every 15 seconds if they want
Execute on anyone below 50% with resets if it kills
Multiple dashes in case you misposition
Pick your favorite
It can do everything.
I still like pvp blm more though, because it's easy spammable stuns and ridiculous aoe damage.
I like BLM, but getting pulled by a warrior into the fricking woodchipper gets tiresome as you watch every ninja ever get Battle High V
thats what people say but I got no clue how to BLM pvp, use Fire then Paradox is about the extent of it. Honestly I hate casters in pvp, every melee guns for you because you're squishy and do half damage in Frontlines
You just have to hide behind your teammates and run the frick away if it looks like the enemy is gaining momentum
If your team sucks then you're totally fricked
The real go-to is blizzard then paradox instead so you have an on-demand stun + damage any time you want on them. Maybe start targeting someone else to also stack ice on them, and trigger supernova anytime you want all those people to just stop. Also the teleport gives you swiftcast, and you get 2 charges with them every 10 seconds, so super easy to chase with it, thunder, then teleport to an ally and instacast ice.
And your LB charges super fast and makes your next 6 casts all AoE, highest damage they get, and instacast. So you're slapping the fire or ice onto everyone in a group along with moronic damage, it's amazing in frontlines or clearing a point in CC.
Ninja, Samurai and White Mage are the biggest cancers in pvp currently
is literally all the end game armor the exact same thing for each job?
Don't care for criterion, but really enjoyed the concept of variant. Wish we had more single player content as well as content for loregays to dig into.
I'd love if they took the concept of Archaeology from WoW and did that, letting me go through random zones and collect garbage related to the world and its backstory.

The combat is what will always kill this game for me. I'm starting the last expansion and up to this point my damage has always felt like garbage. Everything is an HP sponge, you need many rotations just to kill trash mobs, all loot is worthless since damage and level caps on all content mean you'll do shit damage forever, too many buttons for incremental 2% increase in damage.
need lalawife
>You will never be Nanamo's husband and get to keep Tataru, Momodi, and Krile as concubines
>Nanamo.and Raubahn
>allowing concubines
>especially when you're the bottom b***h in the relationship
>Implying Raubahn has any say over this
Anyway, it's not going to happen anyway, so let me dream.
>Raubahn see nanamo sexually
moron, pretty sure he think of her as a daughter and would be happy if the wol got with her
That's the point, anon
Who the frick wants their daughter's husbando to have sidehos?
What if it was a proud Ala Mhigan cultural tradition?
She's the Sultana of Ul'Dah
No shit, but Raubahn is a Mhigger. Would he, personally, be against harems if it's something his people did?
He's been Ul pilled for the last decade or two, and no Ala Mhigans did polygamy, not even batshit king Theodoric
You just know the next variant dungeon is going to be some Ala Mhigan shit with Lyse.
lyse is fine i dont give a shit about mhiggers.
hopefuly gridania with padjals or ishgard with alberic or mch/fortemps people.
I think the community has made their position on Lyse abundantly clear
Lyse has improved greatly since 4.0. Her scene in Endwalker was what I wished had happened to her much, much sooner
though Ala Mhigo, Doma and Ishgard are ripe for their own variants aren't they. Ishgard has that abandoned castrum for example
Sneaking into her bedchamber
Nah, it will be Ala Mhigan shit with based Raubahn
I'd like to see:
>More mhigger shit in the lochs/rest of ala mhigo city
>Gridania shit about amdapor/war of the magi with raya-o
>More voidshit ruins with zero
>Some magical gaslight frickery like antitower or the frog people from Il mheg
>Raya-O instead of Kann-E
Someone is hopeful.
Why not both?
Now that's REALLY hopeful. If by some miracle they did ship you with Raya-O and they decided you needed another tag along it'd be A-Ruhn.
He can come along too (he'd look cute in a dress)
Ala Mhigo was severely lacking in content and lore which is why Stormblood was so stinky
>Ala Mhigo hyped up for 3 expansions
>Its not even a city you can go to
>Garlemald hyped up for 5 expansions
>You only get to go to it after it becomes suburban Detroit
its not fair bros.
good riddance to both and you.
Didn't care much for Ala Mhigo, and it could still become a thing later on, either as an explorable variant dungeon, or a proper city/residential thing like they did with ishgard reconstruction. Hell, they could do an Ilsabard expansion that begins by going to Ala Mhigo itself as one of the 2 new cities before going north.
Garlemald though, yeah is a fricking tragedy. I'd have loved a huge combat zone except it's entirely just a modern day city, instead it's just ruins and they only take up like 25% of the zone.
Here's hoping Corvos has a still standing modern Garlean city we can explore, or one of the other shards is straight up some FF7/13 modern setting.
thats a step backwards no thanks. glad garlemalding Black folk went to the moon.
That's cool, I like Lyse, though I'd rather go adventuring with Kan-E first
Come now we both know the only ARR city allowed to be relevant is Ul'dah
nah
well, it's the only interesting one so it's fair
Uldah should have been nuked by ilberd shinryu, the only one ignores is grifania cause the elementals are boring as the padjali
>Uldah should have been nuked
>Nuke the best city because I'm mad Gridania has shit lore
Nah im mad cause lalafell israelitery, the only interesting thing about that discount rabanasta was ilberd treason
You do realize the really israeliteey lalas are supposed to be the bad guys you want to help the Sultana work around right?
Nah sultana is a crappy spoiled child that the plot tries to make her good
t. Monetarist
Im chaos ilberd
She was one when she tired to give out free gibs but she is learning
>I hate lalas so much I refuse to understand them, their culture, the characters in the story, or even what their plots are about
What's the point of NPCs in variant dungeons if they don't help you in battle? Make them use the trust AI I don't care, but if Lyse and Merlwyb just stand around talking in their dungeons I'll be disappointed.
maybe just for non combatants like nanamo.
>Gridania variant dungeon
>it's a Duskwight barrow full of pissed off elezen
>finally get a whole dungeon to kill caveBlack person elves
wtf based?
Can you bros help me pick wich one to fanta?
the most unique one is the lala. seen many of the viera and miqote before
>lalafell
>unique
I like the look of the Miquote best.
in how many threads will you ask this?
this one. Why do you ask?
Clearly not, since this is not the first time you asked.
I meant this will be the last one i ask. Now i will ask you again why did you ask that?
Good, this will be the last time I see your ugly char then.
Not answering? Are you mentally ill or something?
I just did.
Are you? Or you need validation for reddit too?
>zero character customization
>zero gear customization, no options to choose from
>no journey, overworld is dead empty
>teleporting and flight killed exploration and immersion
These are my problems, but I guess these would only be appropriately improved on FF18 or something, I've accepted that 14 just isn't a RPG and isn't for me, I respect people who enjoy it and just play other games.
To add to these:
>no elite quests
>crafting and gathering doesn't matter because gear doesn't matter, it all boils down to just one stat: ILVL
I think my main gripe with the game is that it just feels too gamey, it doesn't feel like a journey or a RPG.
If I contrast my experience with FFXIV with the experience that I had in WoW Vanilla, in vanilla everything felt meaningful and I just felt like one piece in a huge puzzle. In vanilla you're just one guy and in a whole world, getting everywhere is difficult, making parties is hard so you value your friendships, the world is huge and hard to traverse so travelling and exploring feels meaningful. Finding hard elite quests and finding people to do them with that are also leveling on the same place was basically my favourite experience in playing MMOs.
Also gear was so unique, weapons giving a change to throw fireballs or hit twice, every upgrade was fun and even sometimes you'd check a wiki site to see which fun weapons you'd like to get from a dungeon.
Now contrasting it with FFXIV:
>The world feels small because you can be everywhere at any time with the click of a button.
>Gear boils down to ilvl, so every upgrade in gear feels completely meaningless
>Gear boils down to ilvl, so crafting and gathering feels meaningless
>There are no elite quests that will get you to party with other people, only elite marks that people just mob train together and tank'n'spank it till it's dead
>MSQ blocks you from even doing it with a friend, so even just playing the game you have to play it as a single player game
Anon to unlock flying you need to explore the map and are so lame you dont want more exploration shit implemented
There's really a pluggin to just put your rotation into a button or two?
XIV combo lets you put all your GCDs onto one button.
So instead of 123 you'd hit 111 like in PVP
I guess you need to configure them by yourself?
I ran a variant dungeon for the first time last night (the one where you fight the pink hamster at the end) and I don't understand what makes it different from any other dungeon.
having to read the unlockable lore to figure out obscure things you need to do in order to go down slightly different paths to fight a slightly different boss at the end to get more lore so you can eventually find the steps for the totally original secret boss unlock
Are you fricking dense?
Unlocking all the lore bits was fun, but that was it. No reason to run it again afterwards.
Get ending 12 without looking it up or you’re a scrub
>What problems do you have with the game?
devs only balance classes around "can everyone reasonably meet savage enrage?" dps checks and not any other part of their kit
this leads to a situation where these two guys are not only the highest dps tanks, but their mitigation buttons are generally better for harder content while their busy weave heavy rotations keep you awake during easier content compared to pld/war who are kind of just less damage moron proof versions for carrying absolute shitheads through roulette content slightly more easily - but this is ok because they can all meet enrage so frick giving paladin something good instead of cover and shield bash or frick making warrior anything besides watching the gcd spin.
God I remember when Cover was OP
Ranged dps is also a fricking disaster.
>DNC is the easiest ranged dps to play, can recover easily if they die, has the best raid buffs, and is the one that deals the highest damage
The only excuse people have for not playing DNC out of all three ranged is because it can be boring as shit, and it's not enough to balance them out
MCH deals the highest damage from phys ranged. DNC and BRD have higher rDPS though
my excuse is that dancers animations look moronic on my character and they dont feel satisfying while mch has cool and satisfying big drill
the gap between mch and dnc in rdps is less then the gap beteen drk and war, and since mch is not a buff job it doesn't require your entire party to have great gear and not frick up in order for your dps to be good, you just hit buttons and do flips
Real talk: why wouldn't you play the two most AESTHETIC tanks?
because DRK sucks, even aesthetic. The sword has no weight and its used as a staff for gay magic.
>The sword has no weight
your 123 makes it look like you can barely hold the the thing
you literally jump on Soul Drain with your sword with no center of impulse, cmon now be serious.
that move is an ff7 reference. drk is a literally schizoid class with a schizoid asthetic that sometimes is cloud, sometimes is cecil, and sometimes is guts, the first two hits have more weight to them then something like storms path that look more like an interpretive dance then hitting someone with an axe
>storms path that look more like an interpretive dance then hitting someone with an axe
I still don't understand what Orogeny is supposed to be.
you throw your axe up, lariat around while shooting anime inner beast energy, then catch your axe. because it's an ogcd and designed to weave they made it have a somewhat sped up animation and then you end up skipping parts of it anyway so its looks dumb but that's whats supposed to be going on to keep the theme of warrior ogcds being you hitting them with your own body
Drunktard aoe attack with your fist like bart vs lisa melee fight in the simpsons
Warrior uses rage to spin punch
Sure, and yet, every ogcd and barrier have you waving it as if it was made of carton.
The 1-2 GCD is a leftover from HW, when DRK actually had sword skills that put weight on it.
>it's another muh scourge muh hw drk animations
just install the animation change mod and shut up
That doesnt change the fact that you are walking around with a plastic sword anon.
Anon its a wowlikemmo if it got weight you could stunlocl bosses with your bloodspiller and edge of darkness and sent smaller enemies flying
>The sword has no weight and its used as a staff for gay magic.
Can't tell if you are talking about PLD or DRK
Didnt knew PLD was using two-handed swords now.
You didn't specify which sword, you just said "sword"
In truth, I was talking about SAM.
Checkmate
Thefrick ?drk doesnt cast you just do sword attacks with dark enchantment besides the 1-2 aoe
>PLD is the job with a shield
>has the worst mit for busters this tier because block doesn't affect the bleed
>but the job with a big ass sword does more damage AND can defend themselves better
no one on the dev team plays PLD. i'm almost certain they don't play half the fricking classes.
every noticeably bad player in this game I've ever seen plays PLD so I hope only bad things happen to them
>play paladin since launch
>anons say its for shitter
Don't know how i feel about this
Ironically the only tank with a shield has for most of it's existence actually been the shittiest MT.
PLD has always, always sucked thematically and as a tank in general. it has only gotten worse over time
give flash back, give raise back, make paladin cool again instead of for certified SHIT players only
Yeah being a lightbuld in dungeons and not doing any damage was really fun and cool. I also totally like not being able to use raise in battle because that was a trait only casters had.
It's just continuing the proud FF3 and FF5 tradition of Knight being an early game crutch class that gets discarded by the wayside when you have access to better jobs.
>has the worst mit for busters this tier because block doesn't affect the bleed
using intervention on the other tank while they use their short cooldown on you works perfectly, especially since pld can then stack most of the effects of holy sheltron on top of it because pld can stock up two uses of their short cooldown unlike the other tanks
>give me a move that does no damage and a raise I could only use to help random dead bodies in coerthas back, I really miss doing 123 and nothing else
pld is objectively the coolest its ever been
been farming hades for an hour still no mount for me WTF
>only one hour farming a mount
i got the other shabbers mounts in like 20 runs or less
I'm going to turn my boring Male Lala that just wears Dwarven glams into a female Raen that looks like a Samurai
>female Raen that looks like a Samurai
I kinda wanna play one and use exclusively eastern glams.
but then which Raen face is the best?
I really enjoyed Criterion. I tend to get frustrated with my static because I have to rely on 7 other people taking turns making mistakes, and everyone wants to watch guides to clear day 1 so we can get reclears rolling as fast as possible.
Criterion being only 4 people means I can play with just my good friends who are far more adaptable and learn from mistakes quickly. And because there's no loot incentive, we were able to take our time and blind prog each fight, which was super fun for me.
While I do think they will need to introduce more rewards for people to care on a larger scale about the content, I am totally okay with the rewards being completely nothing to do with gear progression, so I don't feel pressured to rush it.
my main problem with the game
>game becomes more popular every expansion
>base expansions just expand cutscenes, no areas, dungeons or trials
>post expansion content doesn't add more content, just swap content "we aren't doing this because we are doing this instead" instead of adding more content to the current that exists
I thought FF14 was going great, what the hell is this?
>FF14 was going great
Never was.
And I'm glad WoW is recovering from the shitshow.
Blizzard is never recovering from anything, their most played game rn is a game that was made when Blizzard was good, but after this it's Cataclysm and everything from Cataclysm on is just plain garbage.
Now thats a cope. WoTK classic was literally filled with players.
Most popular video game in the world only has 3k views
Thats not Minecraft, and Minecraft is doing pretty well.
No the lost actions are daggerfall -> skyrim levels of neutered when compared to what you could do with them in Bozja.
Sil'Dih should have survived over Ul'Dah
Prove me wrong
