Remove positionals and tank stance
Why the frick would you remove tank stance of all things?
Name just 1 (ONE (A SINGLE)) situation where a TANK shouldn't be TANKing
When you're doing a tankswap and don't want to accidentally grab aggro from the other tank.
Shirk exists. I guess you'd need more charges for it if you're removing stances though.
so go back to the enmity table basically? it's over.
>noooooooo you can't just have aggro management
>mobs should just automatically magnet to the tank
When we had "aggro management" it was the DPS doing management of their own aggro after tanks establish hate with an aggro combo, and only raised their own hate if strictly necessary (typically only: when DPS were slacking on keeping their aggro management in check)
>tanks watching the aggro generation of the dps and swapping stances as necessary isn't aggro management
>swapping stance
Frick that, just let the MNK die. I'm mashing Fell Cleave.
Not really, no. Like, yes, it's "aggro management" in the strictest sense of the term, but it's clearly not what anybody is actually intending when they say "tanks should manage aggro." Ninja managed aggro more than tanks did for pretty much all time before tank stances were reduced in Shadowbringers.
Aggro management was a team effort but ultimately it was up to the tank to ensure that the enemy was looking at them by dropping their own damage and swapping to tank stance. Saying tanks didn't have aggro management is like saying healers don't have damage management because it's everyone's duty to not step in puddles.
The way dps jobs are now you can't simply pause your rotation to wait for tank to get aggro back. If they want to keep current system they need to keep the current aggro magnet to tank thing still. Imagine having to frick up your burst window because tank loses aggro. Dps players would lose their shit. Its been ingrained in dps players to just continuously pushing their rotation to build up for their next burst window. To bring back aggro management would require an overhaul of all jobs and their rotations which I'm unsure if squeenix can even be bothered with. As the game is now you just need to muscle memory your rotation so you can focus on dodging all the colors and mechanics in fights. Having current dps players thinking of more than one thing at a time would be catastrophic. I wouldn't mind aggro management but I'm just realistic about the current player base.
the suggestion isn’t to give dps their aggro tools back, but to put ALL aggro tools on tanks. like they would have cds that temporarily reduce aggro gain for non-tanks, ‘cover’ aggro for 10s for 1 player etc
t. leveling roulette only player
Eureka and Bozja where the tank is acting as a DPS due to duty-specific actions such as Double Edge
you LOSE
you LOSE
you LOSE
When I feel like having a lil' laff.
Do content outside of expert roulette dumbass
no frick you add more positionals and bring back more aggro management and sword stance
That shit was removed before you even started playing bro
>arguing for the removal of things that are already gone... weird anon.
People that think positionals are going to die are stupid, they've been begging for it for years by pretending they're mad about them going away. Nooooooo don't remove positionals! They're all I have left! Haha, noooooo! Doooooon't put positionals on Reaper, don't give me hope they'll stay! Haha nooooooo.
Wake up anon, both of these things are already gone functionally.
Wake yourself up, I don't think they'd give Reaper positionals if they intended the system to go away completely.
Do you realize the game doesn't change whether you do the positionals or not do the positionals? You must be new but in Heavensward the combo would flat out fail if you missed the positional. People would STOP pressing buttons in order to land that positional.
Right now? NOTHING changes if you miss a positional. moron subhuman waste of space garbage.
Even in ShB you could have an impact on rotations, like SAM would get variable amount of Kenki on positionals.
I guess SE didn't like that sometimes you'd have a spender after the 16th GCD and sometimes you didn't. Everything about your rotation needs to be the same every pull or players will get confused
Well yeah, that variance is shitty design when the game just doesn't have ANYTHING for players to work with.
There are no rare or unique effects in gear or materia, there are no elemental or physical attributes, no weaknesses, no weak points, not even different move speeds, no different cast times, you don't even interact with the boss beyond enmity.
WHAT exactly do people want that's new content when the game is so damn bare bones? WHAT could you possibly add?
Positionals and enmity have been gone since Shadowbringers and there's still some Black person talking about how we should keep them or remove them, like, what?
if anything positionals should become more punishing and tanks should get all the dps aggro tools and more. like if you don’t know when your healers are doing burst heal and mistime your aggro cooldowns, they rip aggro from you and wipe the party
Well yeah, but that's clearly not happening. Square Enix IS absolutely listening. Just not to veterans or people with actual brains.
People quite literally cried that they couldn't optimize DPS because of the variance in DPS cooldowns. Well, there you go, now every job has a 2 minute cooldown DPS thingy. And this goes for EVERYTHING.
And Square enix, since they clearly have no vision or game designers, are just HAPPY to remove parts of the game instead of working on them or improving them.
People would rather get a new job that plays the exact same as the others than get talent trees for current jobs.
Final fantasy XIV copied WoW SO MUCH that now they're having their own accessibility crisis. They are losing the people that fell in love with the original design of the game because it's simply TOO accessible, and they're failing to capture new players because that game is so easy to learn and so easy to master that they don't stick around beyond the MSQ.
Positionals have been less and less impactful each expansion by lowering the amount required, lowering the bonus damage, and increasing True North stacks. That's how they always handle stuff they're removing soon. They simplify it until people ask "why is this even here? i don't even think about it!" TP went through the same journey.
every single class needs an overhaul, they are all fricking braindead boring
that video that everyone is memeing was literally right, he's literally right about the combat and job design.
I hope the new mage has a fun rotation that isn't just Legos
legos?
What is happening here?
You can do the entire SMN rotation by just pressing one button.
Yeah a modded button
it's not modded moron, you can try it yourself
>"YOU CAN DO THE WHOLE ROTATION WITH JUST ONE BUTTON!!!"
>video immediately has a laundry list of caveats explaining that it's beyond suboptimal, requires a specific spell speed, and that the whole thing breaks if the boss becomes untargettable
I'm not gonna defend how moronicly simply SMN is now, but it's even more moronic to be reductive to the job's problems by saying "IT CAN ALL BE ROTATED WITH 1 BUTTON!!!". You can make literally any job have a 1 button rotation if the above conditions of being suboptimal and breaking outside of training dummies is allowed.
>You can make literally any job have a 1 button rotation if the above conditions of being suboptimal and breaking outside of training dummies is allowed.
RDM, BRD and DNC have random procs, but every other job can mapped into a timeline and automated for maximum efficiency
do it and go into savage with it post logs after that
I used these for the first tier in EW raids.
I have 99 on all except P4S2
post logs
but i'm asking that anon to do it
Sorry I misremembered
could you post the timeline > casts for at least 2 of these fights?
homie if you don't understand that paladin is a spreadsheet simulator then there's no hope for you
i'm asking you to prove your claims
I'm not that guy.
No I'm about to go to sleep and I don't care enough to argue about this.
Jobs are extremely static, you always generate the same amount of resources in the same amount of time and the optimal skill to use at a given timestamp is always the same.
This is true for all jobs without cast times and random procs, since mechanics never force you out of uptime in EW. If you look at job rotations, this should be obvious
so you can't back up what you're saying? got it
If you play the game as any melee job you would just know this intuitively. You always do the same things every pull if you know your rotation. There are no variables
so you're telling me that
this is all the same timeline for every cast? but if i ask for proof i don't get it?
No obviously the timelines for different fights are different, but once you've figured it out for that one fight, then that's it. Just put that shit into a bot and you're done
And to add, the timelines are only different if there's downtime, like Phoinix add phase, Hippokampos limit cut etc.
The bot would only work for the ideal 100% uptime timeline, and only if you get the exact same positions every time.
Because of how mechanics are randomized, you're often losing uptime when melee has to go out of range to deal with mechanics, and in recent tiers there isn't really an option to rework positions for uptime unless the party is explicitly trying to pad one person.
>melee downtime
>in EW
not worth it
they got their opinion from youtube and you'd think they have some proof to backup their statements specially when saying something as stupid as "yes i did it but no i won't show you"
>PLD
>rotation
I think the SMN guy got an orange parse using the one button rotation.
And he also did that in 6.05
If being suboptimal is an okay standard then you can either ignore procs or just have a segment of the rotation dedicated to trying to dump them.
Top parsers are using automated rotation bots already, so it'd be par for the course.
ok but i'm asking (You) to do it
SMN is so hard that even elite gamers need to use mods just to kill a training dummy
Unrealistic wishes
>SCH with stance dancing and dot management
>SGE with some actual DPS gameplay
>WHM still easy because there should be an easy job in each role
>AST reworked to be fun somehow
>easy and hard jobs in each role (including a melee with lots of positionals and a tank who needs to think about enmity more)
>phys ranged leaning more into the support role
>remove a lot of raid buffs
>rework crit/dh
>speed builds more viable
>normal modes deal more damage
>fewer body check mechanics in savage
>savage unlocks sooner, tomestone cap doubles after 8 weeks
>alternate gearing available through criterion
>correctly tuned enrages on savage
>ultimates without bugs
Also my wish for Dragoon is that it can get the PvP style jump. I feel bad for 'gooners though, the job is only getting a rework because they don't know what to do with it.
I can't believe you wasted time thinking about this and making it. How new?
It's fun, I like making these things. There's another anon who has some really high effort pictures of his healer ideas too.
Thanks
>post a gay ass comission
Such a way to say you're an gigantic homosexual
It's a cute picture I saved. But you're just being abrasive to keep the thread alive, aren't you?
>dumb newbie just discovered sage
i like it
jumping and disappearing is core of drg
So like dancer's Improvisation but damage instead of mit/regen?
Yes, the longer you hold it the better. Since it's a burst option you'd always hold it unless the boss was about to die/vanish.
I like that actually.
Cool idea bud.
This would be kino. Add another skill later on that lets you throw spears down while airborne like Freya during her Trance too.
Is stormblood and graphics update already here? Thinking of starting now
Stormblood is here but graphics is in the summer. Starting now is good since you can catch up in time for new expansion launch without having to grind story for 10h/day
>XIV in the title.
And thread ruined.
you idiot, it's not a true mixup if it's not 50/50
this is quite literally not true, are you gonna tell me anji buttefly into 3p hgh or whatever low is not a mixup? cause the vast majority of +r players would disagree with you, same with a lot of venom setups are not straight up 50/50s they are hard to react too but it's not a coinflip. the vast majority of mix is not a 50/50 it's the reason people will just straight up 50/50 over mixup cause the 2 are clearly different.
straight up say 50/50 over mixup when referring to an actual 50/50* i mean unless your streetfighter where you are gettnig throw looped or skullgirls where the entire game is build off guessing resets
a reaction check is not a mix
if you're using +R examples then you should have used i-no that has legit 50/50s
a mixup is unreactable at <16 frames
you even said it yourself
>a lot of venom setups are not straight up 50/50s
if you know the setup you're no longer in the mix
when you have to guess for the right option THAT'S a mix
a 50/50 is a mixup, a 33/33/33 is a mixup, a 25/25/25/25 is a mixup but reaction checks aren't mixups
>a reaction check is not a mix
https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Mixup
extremely difficult OR impossible to react too
https://glossary.infil.net/?t=50/50
a mixup doesn't need to inherently be a impossible to react to be a mixup, again the vast majority of people are just not gonna agree with you on thiis one. every 50/50 is a mixup not every mixup is a 50/50 otherwise you are just gonna have to concede that the vast majority of mixups in games are just not actual mixups but "reaction checks" which is an incredibly more vague term.
then it isn't a true mixup
well then we can just agree to disagree on the terms i'm just saying people wouldn't feel the need to distinguish in the first place if they thought about it like that
simply because they don't want to admit that there's a difference between a true mixup and what most people call a mixup like strong oki
that clip of the piccolo mixup from that shitty dragon ball game? that's the truest mixup of all time you can't simply know where to defend you have to guess right from 4 different directions
if you can lab the setup and turn a "50/50" into a 70/30, that's not a true mixup, if you know the most likely choice is one over the other then you aren't being mixed
is there really a difference between calling something a mixup/true mixup and a mixup/5050, the terms serve the same thing and people have called non true 50/50 setups mixups since the dawn of time
i don't care what they call it, if you can react to it or lab it then it's not a true mixup
well then i'll change my original post to just block the reaction check to make you feel better. that original anon is still a fricking moronic homosexual though
thanks i like that more
i'm not big into sf6 so i started doing ultimates

It's fun if you play the guy that's on the other side of that interaction stunning you over and over. Try WAR.
I'm not starting my sub back up until Dawntrail. Someone spoil 6.5 for me.
zeromus dead
golbez redeemed
zero not edgy
see you in dawntrail or something
that's about it
So is the 14th not voided anymore?
no it's still very voided, they have literally just gotten started and are in the "how do we even approach this" phase
No, the 13th is still fricked. Literally nothing changed. You could skip everything from 6.1~6.5 and miss nothing.
Will it be the new restoration project?
imo it was intended to be an exploration zone like bozja from the get go, since y'shtola talks about exploring it through a series of base camps in 6.1 and then that didn't happen, and we'll see more of it next expac
it could plausibly be anything. or everything. all known frames of content would work in the context of restoring the 13th
Hopefully exploratory content
I know there's the Simpsons time bubble thing but I don't think "the void didn't change at all!!!!" is an opinion with any brainpower behind it, you may as well get mad the First didn't get better instantly after Eden was finished
nothing will happen with the first either
Nor do I expect it to because that's most of a fricking planet getting better overnight
Not mad. I knew going in nothing would change because they're too cowardly to mandate the level 80 role quests.
Mandating all roles completed is moronic
Contentlets seethe, the game should be made for people who actually play it.
all me
Soon every role will have a job that starts at 80+
This. Frick having to play the game. Forcing us to do hildibrand for bis ultimate weapons nearly killed the raiding community.
gonna be honest with ya anon. if there was a guy on my raiding static who refused to do the bare minimum of skipping cutscene all of hildy, i'd not want him there either. a very simple way to get a possible weapon upgrade and he refused to do it? out of my group.
not to mention i honestly believe anyone who can't pay attention to a simple story like hildy and appreciate it for what it is wouldn't be worth raiding with anyway. if they can't pay attention to a story, what makes me think they'd pay attention in a raid?
coincidentally, i've found that people who are very good at raiding also tend to be really good at RP as well. its like putting effort into something raises all boats
but you don't raid
He doesn't roleplay either but don't respond to avatargays.
yes, because i'm not willing to put forth the effort to do so correctly. one of the major reasons i stopped mmo raid leading, the last bit i did was heroic siege of orgrimmar was i was painfully aware of how few of the people in the raid actually came with their shit ready
then why are you talking about something you don't know anything about?
damn cocoli you're dumb as hell and annoying and you aren't even subbed you just lurk Ganker all day to post in a thread with an irrelevant post that brings nothing to the table because your experience is so limited
i feel sorry for you
i missed you last thread
like impressively stupid at all times
>guy who doesn't raid and knows nothing about what he's talking about gives his opinion on raiding
peak Ganker post, you don't need the relic weapon, just buy or craft crafted and you are set. complete the raid tier and you are ready for the ultimate, relic weapons are nothing but a catch up mechanic for cool looking weapons.
Out of all the lala attention prostitutes in this thread brocolli really is just one of the worst ones
Where Vizex and the other one are just being dumb on purpose I think this autistic frick doesn't even realize what he's talking about half the time. You don't raid homie you have no stake in this

>you hate them?
>that means you secretly want to frick them!
lol, good. Frick the raiding community. You'll do the wacky quests and you'll like it.
>nearly killed the raiding community
i can't believe people actually took this bait, the "raiding communiuty" doesn't need relic weapons it's not bis until way after the raid tiers and second ultimate is out. also raiders do the most content in the game anyways so kys.
>replying to the mario post with mandate
funny
They can always do something with those characters without needing to do the role quests, it's not like it's the first time they do something like that, remember Estinien?
Estinien exists in Ishgard regardless of what you do.
Unukalhai is still chilling in Rising Stones if you haven't done the ShB role quests and Cylva hasn't been introduced at all
And Estinien is still blinded by vengeance and almost gets consumed by the eyes that totally still exist if you do the DRG quests after HW.
They don't need the void ghosts to do shit with the 13th.
But seing as how Gaia is in the msq and eden isn't mandatory they might be taking a "do it or miss out" approach in the future where frickers can get themselves in paradox situations if they want to just do nothing but the story. Like y'shtola being in a coma but still helping with alexander.
Hope so, let lorelets be confused when cait sith turns up with the sky pirates or let X'rhun finally finish Alisaie's rdm lessons.
A timeskip for Dawntrail could have fixed this by just assuming you did everything before the skip.
Nah, frick timeskips.
Simple progression is better imo, like Revanants toll always being fully complete and frick you if you missed out or Ishgard restoration being done, but you can still grind up your crafters ez.
They can just assume you did everything without timeskipping, what does that have to do with anything.
At this point I feel like you timeskip homosexuals have a fetish for the stuff.
Or just say you did it all. If cyella and ukelele appear when it comes to doing more 13th stuff then frick whoever doesnt recognize them.
Gaia only appears in the msq if you've completed eden. That's why she only says a couple lines.
i was astonished that it was voiced though. iirc her only voiced lines before was during E12S and the E8N in battle cutscene
who is her VA? does she do other voices already?
Here is what I could find... Just don't look at that Personal Life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Rust#:~:text=Rust%20has%20lent%20her%20voice,Nioh%202%20and%20Battlefield%20V.
After seeing this, I no longer want English Gaia to be in the game anymore.
eh. i wouldn't put too much stock in it. if you have to say X to keep your job, well, i don't believe you actually believe X
Breeeeh
SHEEEESH on god fr fr i can't be frickin wit no politics like that
I don't know what that word means
It's a made up word for politically progressive activists to say they don't like men but don't like women, but also do like men and also do like women, and animals or objects. Yes really.
pansexual apparently just means bisexual but they are also attracted to trannies too. Which I don't know why that needs a special label, everyone, even lgbt gays know and agree that there are 2 sexes, and bisexuality is about sexual attraction, guess trannies need their special treatment like always.
It's literally just "bisexual with standards".
...so bisexual.
She did claim Ryne and Gaia are a couple in some interview.
Link the interview or frick off
Everybody below me that responds to you getting mad and taking this as fact is inbred

I can tell you haven't been long with XIV. That interview has been talked about quite a lot. People made a big deal out if it.

>For many fans of Final Fantasy XIV, Gaia and Ryne’s relationship was a wonderful surprise. How did you bring that connection to life through Gaia’s character?
>It’s all written there, you know what I mean? I know that it’s only a gentle association. We’re not really, properly [in a romantic relationship yet] — but it’s there. I love being able to explore that, playing around with that dynamic. And I love the characters. I may not get to voice the character in-dialogue with the actress who plays Ryne, but I do get a sense of what’s going on, and it’s really lovely.
Of course she is just a hired voice. She has no say in character development. It's just bias from her.
>I can tell you haven't been long with XIV. That interview has been talked about quite a lot. People made a big deal out if it.
Clearly not, you're the only result for Ganker's lifetime.
You know that people barely link to the interview itself but some XIVtuber, plebbit instead, or simply just talk about it, right? Not to mention a lot of xiGanker threads were deleted and we still had xi/vrpg/ going at that time.
No, I don't believe lots of people were talking about it but you're the only guy across real-world years to ever actually link it. I'm linking to an archive that tracks deleted posts, that wouldn't have mattered. You'll have to live with the knowledge that you're the only guy on Ganker to care about that interview, where woman with stinky politics I don't like said a thing and did me a social justice.

Outrage? I'd be fine for the sexless attractionless world of FFXIV to have real romance or character attraction.
But we're talking about a game thats so afraid of status quo shakeups it retcons supposed permanent injuries on our main characters by the expansion, that shit aint happening. It would hurt the marketability of the characters.
The status quo hasn't changed at all. The whole thing was unironically a shitty anime original filler arc.
>So is the 14th not voided anymore?
Nothing changes in this game's world so of course not. The world is completely frickign static and always will be, even Alphinaud and Alisaie will never age because the game is trapped in a time bubble. Nothing changes, nothing ever happens.
Nothing can happen to the void just yet because the 13th will be the expansion after Dawntrail.
it still is but you have to tune in to 8.0 for wacky adventures of Zero and Golbez to find out what happens.
the entire patch series is just setup for shit after dawntrail, 7.0 is just a filler episode
If you people actually believe this shit you’re delusional. You probably thought Meracydia was going to be 3.0 too.
They're right, do you not remember Warrior of darkness at the end of HW? Or Crystal Tower at the end of ARR? When did those questlines pay off?
If you’re referring to Shadowbringers it was probably a happy accident. They saw hanging threads and purposed them in the expansion.
>post-ARR all about Ala Mhigans, we go to Ala Mhigo two expansions later
>post-HW all about WoDs and the First, we go to the First two expansions later
>post-SB all about Garlemald, we go to Garlemald two expansions later
I just hope Dawntrail doesn’t end up a Pandaria expansion.
Yes, of course. That’s why Endwalker was the Garlean expansion and Dawntrail is about the Final Days, since post-ShB was about Fandaniel and the Telophoroi.
That's literally what their original plans were, yeah. 6.0 was supposed to be purely Garlemald and then lead into the Final Days for 7.0. But they condensed it. This isn't even an obscure bit of knowledge, Yoshida has talked about it several times.
See.
>It was probably a happy accident
If you want to know more about the process of how they make the story, at least watch the dev panels/ writers panels.
I bet you missed this too and didn't think anything of it at the time when Fourchenalt kneels down to the twins in EW.
I don’t doubt FFXIV has a much larger degree of planning than every other MMO when it comes to the story. Haters gonna hate but MSQ is THE reason a lot of people play it.
But so many things happen in 10+ years, developers come and go, new favorite characters show up, other business-related events happen, too.
So we can’t take past hints with the certainty they would have if it was the work of one or fewer writers.
I agree with you, but that picture I showed you is from the NA 2023 writer's panel with Ishikawa and YoshiP. It's where Ishikawa asked for a revamp of Coils and Yoshida gave a very pained expression.
A friend mentioned about this Coil rework. What’s that about?
So people don’t have Alisaie popping out of nowhere in HW like the cat boy did in ShB before Crystal Tower was made mandatory?
I remember not completing crystal tower simply because the queues were never filled.
It was just Ishikawa asking Yoshida for an update to Coils, in the NA ff writers panel and him replying with saying it would be very difficult asking her why is she asking him this while Ishikawa was laughing and Yoshida looks to be in real pain. That's it there's no more information than that.
>why is she asking him this
Because barely anyone atm has played them except maybe solo. And it has 1.0 plot, grandpa plot, Alisaie plot, a ton of Eorzea locations you might be confused about, HW dragon + Allagan plot. Come on Y-Pee man.
They wouldn't have even mentioned the possibility if it wasn't something they were already planning. It's not like the dev panels are impromptu.
People want it nerfed and updated so that it can be added to the raid roulette.
You've been able to do that since late Stormblood I wanna say.
I just remember them in Shadowbringers but I let mine by level 71 because (at the time) it took way longer a run with them than without them.
That's a totally different thing. He's talking about squadrons which existed years before trusts and are way more powerful. They can easily burn through a dungeon faster than a human party.
literally every fricking
>leave it later
get reused 2 expansion laters.
There is no 14th speedreader-kun
well, do you consider the source to be 0 or 14?
0th if anything
0 or unnumbered. Ryne's world is "The First" as in the first reflection of the source. The Source is the original, not a reflection.
Source is 0 because it's the origin world.
I always forget to count source
Its played totally straight. If you know what happens in 6.4 then just imagine the most bland conclusion possible and you won't be too far off.
You kill Zeromus, Zero becomes a Paladin and stays with Golbez on the 13th to restore the void.
You go back to the Source with a baby Azdaja since her body was gone and Vtra used one of his eyes to create her body again.
Also, some furry legs or something.
You want to use the giant magical tower to save the world but officials are concerned that the citizens will be frightened if they see the tower being used, so you have to journey around and ask permission. And no, I'm not talking about the Tower of Babil stuff in 6.4.
Zero gives Golbez a power of friendship speech while (You) fight Zeromus. Zeromus regenerates and Golbez puts up an AT Field so Zero can get the killshot. Zero and Golbez decide to fix the Thirteenth together. Only at the last minute do you decide to mention Unukalhai and Cylva.
This about sums it up
Every time someone post a screenshot of this scene, I can't stop smiling at that Y'shtola just vacantly staring at nothing.
Even she's bored with this storyline and just wants to go eat some indian food and have a nap.
>Y'shtola: WoL, go to the First and use this bunch of aether retransmitters I had Cid make for us to channel light aether to the 13th. Also take Zero with you, we need to squeeze one last character development scene from her before the end.
>WoL: Aight.
>...
>Ryne: WoL, before you do this thing that will save both your world and the 13th from the deaths of billions, you should ask for permission from these people from the First that you already saved before.
>Chais/Eulmore citiziens: Dude why are you asking for permission, just do it, don't waste time.
>Runar: WoD no offense but I'm the dumbest character in ShB and even I think this is dumb as hell.
>...
>Zero: Ok we did the thing, hey Ryne, shoot some light aether directly inside me for shits and giggles.
>...
>Ok now we're ready to go, let's shoot a light beam to pierce Zeromus' barrier and go in aaaaand we got teleported into a flashback that shows us how Baron fell, Golbez got corrupted and Durante took up his persona.
>Ok WoL now go slap Zeromus, meanwhile we'll fight the archfiends again, talk-no-jutsu Golbezante into switching sides and also Zero will do a job change into paladin complete with new outfit.
>...
>We did it guys, we saved the day, Azdaja is a baby now but at least she's alive, Golbez is a good guy now and Zero is gonna stay here to help fix the shard (also WoL suddenly finally brings up Unukalhai and Cylva), and we're just gonna have a nice indian banquet to celebrate. Also here's an extra Gaia scene in case you did Eden.
>Oh and Erenville came back from home, he's got a female hrothgar with him, and Krile fricking finally opened that letter.
>zero becomes good character
>leave group
Normally I'd prefer characters with curious and unique quirks but Zero's were genuinely so fricking annoying that I'm glad she just became normal and got into food.
Speaking of which, I wonder what the frick is she going to eat now.
>Speaking of which, I wonder what the frick is she going to eat now.
If you can chop up sin eaters and turn them into bread then maybe you can do the same for voidsent.
What the frick are these 2 fighting game autists arguing about
for some reason, mmos are retiring grounds for professional fightan players. something about flowchart gameplay but its much slower paced
They're trying to fill up the post count, just ignore.
The real problem with this game is that they are trying to appeal to too many people at once. There is actually TOO much content in this game, and that's a bad thing. We have:
>MSQ which takes up 80% of the development time and resources
>Dungeons
>Normal and Alliance Raids
>Savage Raids
>Ultimates
>Extreme and Unreal Trials
>Fishing which is it's own side content
>Gold Saucer and it's numerous minigames such as: Triple Triad, Chocobo Racing, Mahjong, Vermillion, Leap of Faith, etc.
>Housing
>Variant Dungeons
>Criterion Dungeons
>BLU content
>Custom Deliveries
>Beast Tribes
>PvP and it's modes: Crystaline Conflict, Frontlines, and Rival Wings
All just off the top of my fricking head. These are not even all of the forms of content that the devs are constantly trying to satisfy the demand for. So the result is that every piece of content just gets a tiny update every patch or every other patch. Everybody gets a little crum. Some of that content almost never gets updated , like BLU waiting 3 years for an update, or Rival Wings being abandonware at this point.
The devs want to cater to everyone and so nobody is satisfied because nobody ever gets enough. The game would unironically be better if it just focused on one or two things and poured 100% of the resources into that instead of spreading their resources razor thin accross so many different forms of content.
And? You said all that shit for a hypothetical that will never happen. What a waste of time.
I love stretch marks.
man of culture
post more stretch-mark thick b***hes and less bad opinions pls
>The real problem with this game is that they are trying to appeal to too many people at once.
Extremely bad opinion. Broad appeal is how you keep people engaged over time, and how you foster healthy player communities. I raid every week, but if that was all the game was, I wouldn't be playing it and neither would lots of the fun people I met while playing.
I do all of these things except ultimates and I'm happy with the game.
Takes like this is how you end up in WoW's situation where the majority of people playing are playing the version that ISN'T about only one type of content.
The only people the current approach doesn't satisfy are those who exclusively play one or two types of content.
I'll try some raids, do the dungeons, read the msq, get the variant mount, level some blu, do some eureka, etc. And during droughts I'll level up my crafters and grind out the splendorous tools.
Shit I've been selling maps for years, and just tried my first one last week. Whole new type of content I can dive into.
Shit's cash right now.
It will never stop being funny to me how WoW fricked up it's deisgn so much that now there are so many versions of the game and somehow WoW homosexuals eat it up like this is ok, WoW retail, WoW Classic, WoW Wrath of the lich king Classic, WoW Hardcore (that's not even including the private server versions) and now, now these morons are wanting WoW Classic+.
They didn't instance the zones, they instanced the fricking game.
>They didn't instance the zones, they instanced the fricking game.
There is literally nothing in classic besides raiding to do.
I cannot comprehend you gays liking the combat in this game. It's nor an mmorpg or an action game. Is in the middle doing both things wrong.
I hope Island Sanctuaries never return.
They're the complete antithesis of what a MMO should be about.
The devs putting in so many resources into developing a system that isolates players from each other is what makes Endwalker the Warlords of Draenor of FFXIV.
Also being back old Astrologian, I want to be able to decide between playing regen or shield on one job.
They made the garrisons from WoD and they somehow made them worse, that takes skill tbh.

The slow descent I watched WARgays go through into complete insanity in EW enitrely out of insecurity/jealously of DRK has made me think the entire playerbase is literally just children.
>Pre EW: WE HEALER #1!!! LOL OBLATION SUX, BLOODWHETTIN OP
>Then they found out Oblation is a really strong skill and short cooldowns with flexibility is superior to bloated buttons
>Then they found out DRK was pulling more damage then them
>Then Abyssos was tailor made to prevent Holmgang cheese which dominated Asphodelos
>WTF DRK OP!!! WAR SUCKS!!! YOSHIDA PLS FIX THE GAME IS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
>WAR gets buffed literally every single patch to appease the screeching toddlers, all it really amounts to is healers feeling even more optional thanks to Shake it Off Over time
>WAR gays finally get overbuffed come 6.4 and start bragging about it like its some sort of accomplishment they did because their tank is now pulling the bigger numbers
Despite all of this, they're still not getting the fastest kills, and now they've gone back to being jealous of Oblation and demanding they get more mitigation.
So yeah WAR is anything but a "cool guy"
Forcing the devs to bend the knee is the most alpha thing you can do. Shows that complaining actually works. DRK was shit ever since sole survivor and dark passenger were removed. WAR is still shit tho, turning the two jobs into mirror images of one another made them both look worse, not better.

>Forcing the devs to bend the knee
is that what we're calling b***hing in a Ganker thread now
The people you should avoid are those who speak in faux-apathetic lowercaps at all times. To be clear, I'm not talking about people who speak without grammar in game in order to get their messages out faster. I'm talking about those who sit down to compose an image board post with all the time in the world and willfully choose to omit punctuation and capitalization. They are not doing this to save time. In fact, they may take additional time to redact habitual grammar from their posts.
Their motivation for this style of posting is simple. They are trying to present an aura of apathy. They want to communicate: "I don't care about anything, least of all the rules of grammar." The reason they work so hard to cultivate this image of emotional invulnerability is because they are, in actual fact, extremely emotional and unstable people. If you become close to them you will catch glimpses of the volatility lurking beneath their patchwork mask of cool indifference. The lowercaps poster will silently catalog transgressions you have in its eyes committed. You will only become aware of them during the rare tantrum blowups that characterize these people. They must be avoided for your own good. The faux-apathetic lowercaps posters really could not be more pathetic.
why do you have your own old posts in a text file to be pasted into threads
>proving the copypasta correct

We're already in a dead-end of a conversation, no need to sandpaper grind it into powder.
Sorry, I understand you want to move on from your own embarrassment. But if you look at your nametag you'll actually find you're posting as 'Anonymous'. Ganker has no accounts and your posts are not tied to any identity, so you need not fear your stupidity being dredged up to embarrass you when you post in the future. Hope this helps!

I just started ShB, I like the First, but the b***h tiger called me an "elf". Rude.
Elves are the Black folk of the First because of the Shadowkeeper
I thought the shadowkeeper was the good guy?
Shadowkeeper was the villain Ardbert's group was fighting against.
But the guy in the first told me the WoLs were the bad guys
Not everyone of us can be as awesome as Urianger or Estinien unfortunately. Or my character .
>But the guy in the first told me the WoLs were the bad guys
The WoLs were the bad guys because they accidentally the entire world in the process of fighting the Shadowkeeper. The Shadowkeeper was also the bad guy because she fricked up the world in the process of making a kingdom for the Elves and is the reason Ardbert's group accidentally the entire world.
Elezen in the First must be pretty specist, in The Source the only instance of anti-human sentiment you see is the halfling in Heavensward and even there, it's mostly cuz she's a bastard than she's a halfbreed.
Elves used to be a nomadic race which made them easy targets for bullying by all the other people until the Shadowkeeper showed up. Shadowkeeper united them all, built Laxan for them, taught them to turn into werewolves, and then went about fricking up all the other countries as revenge. In a sense, they were kinda like the Garleans of Norvrandt. Bullied race strikes back and makes everything worse for everyone.
I see. The first has significantly different world history then. Thank you anon.
shadowkeeper fricked up the first then felt bad about it
seething moron: refers to the lalafells by their character name. clearly desires them carnally. gets mad when ignored

You can't. People got caught cheating for world first and all they lost was their title. Chances are the people who then won the title also cheated but just didn't stream it.

I thought with the story arc being done and this being a new start we'd see some drastic combat channges but that doesn't seem to be the case. All the content looks the same as it always has.

it isn't, it's fine at 2.5s this small adjustment
works well
you'll still fit everything into nm, go test it out for 7 minutes

Are you ready for Tallphinaud?
Don't take my femboy wife from me.
Mister, weeeee made a maaaaaaaan out of hiiiiimmmmmm!
I doubt they'd grow up Alphinaud and keep Alisaie the same.
Also we JUST saw him in Garlemald. Unless for some reason Krile and Erenville are gonna tell us about the whatever is going on in Tural thing and then we're gonna wait for some fricking reason before going, he's still the same.
Time skips are a thing.
>Hrothlady already showing up with Erenville to request some kind of help
>Krile already read the letter
>other Scions already got their own letters requesting help from other political candidates
>but uhhh we'll skip a year before anyone heads over because uhhhh
We don't know how much time it takes for Elezen to spurt.
about 3 minutes in my experience
>Alisaie is a permanent giraffelet
Imagine the seething
I think the last patch will have Alphinaud finally get his archon mark and that's why they won't show his face.
Though let's be honest, Alisaie curing tempering should've gotten her a Thaliak's Prize or something.
If the game was more realistic, every single Scion would have a myriad prizes, would have been gifted the most luxurious villas and apartments as each city state fricking tears each other apart to try and get one to make permanent residence in their city, and wouldn't be able to walk two steps in a concurred city without getting crowded by fans.
go play ARR again because they take up mor dhona residence for literally all these reasons
Didn't they move to mor dhona because Lolorito was being a fricker, including not allowing an aetheryte in vesper bay?
they went to vesper bay in the first place for the relative political neutrality the area had, including no aetheryte which was both a plus and negative, left to mor dhona to both get the frick out of thanalan and still be politically neutral with revenant's toll being an "adventurer town"
And now WoL is owned by Rowena
Didn't they move because Garlemald had rekt the Waking Sands and everyone felt uncomfortable being there afterwards when there had been so many corpses of friends?
all of the above reasons
>location is known by garleans
>politically inviable thanks to teledji
>dangerous to stay there both for themselves and for vesper bay's other inhabitants
>revenant's toll is objectively better in every way
>going through msq again
>actually take the time to talk to the new scions
>see them have their own little offscreen storylines
>even the b***h from Edda's group was trying to redeem herself
Honestly made the raid hit harder, even though I knew it was coming.
I don't think Edda's b***hy homewrecking femezen teammate died in the raid, though? She's later in that one Hard dungeon where Edda got her and turned her undead I think and you put her out of her misery.
She died during the raid, Edda raised her.
That's how Paiyo Reiyo found out that something was up, the wedding invite said she'd be attending after she died.
Speaking of, I find it funny that they say Tataru does an intense, thorough background, personality and aptitude check on any potential Scion recruits and the femezen that cheated with the party's leader, blamed the healer so hard she went insane and still fricked up an early game dungeon managed to pass. Must have been a big whoops.
I think it's pretty fricked up that none of the Scions EVER mention the three other Circle of Knowing members who died in the raid. They're just completely forgotten.
it was the entire syndicate. probably teledji moreso who wanted the scions to be agents of uldah. though i wouldn't put it past lolorito and fyrgeiss. or godbert, but he would have used a different tact
Has Dewlala made any moves besides telling Raubahn that Lolorito accusing the scions of a crime he knew didn't occur was a whoopsie daisy?
No, as the leader of the Order of Nald'thal she has to maintain neutrality.
Yeah but that was one time, it was before they did all of their most incredible feats, and it's been a while since that.
Never said they'd accept the gifts.
The scions literally do not want to be tied to the coin of any major organization or goverment
Let me nip this in the bud before the theory of it keeps going, Yoshida has previously said, on multiple liveletters that Alphi and Alisaie are never going to be changed from what they are now, as in their physical characteristics to something later down the road.
Elezen growth spurt happens at 21, Urianger confirmed he was very short until he got his growth spurt at 21, various other elezens all said that's their true coming of age, ayermic included.
It's also why the twins were only 1 year on the first, they were 16 when they left and 17 when you met them so their bodies on the first did not have the excuse to grow or not. When they returned to the Source although they are mentally 17, they are still physically 16, so they have another 5 years in game time main story time from the return of the Source to their growth spurt. It's not going to happen.
Rielle is 17 and she said she's due for her growth spurt soon, there's probably just an age range for it, not exactly 21.
I can’t believe all this “growth spurt” babble is actually in the game
Tell me about it, world-building and little details are moronic and for homosexuals, nobody cares about the game elves drop their balls and balloon their breasts.
>alisae with baloon breasts
go on...
Half-globes stuck to her chest, no motion at all.
It was accidental lore they created because during the transition to ARR they left a lot of the same Elezen child NPCs around Gridania. Some lore autists noticed and asked about it so they handwaved it as Elezen having a delayed growth spurt compared to other races. Then later on it made it into the actual game.
Yoshi lies or changes his mind all the time and they regularly retcon or change stuff. If at some point they hear the feedback about aging up the twins and decide they want to do it, it will happen.

Use Anamnesis and turn yourself into a minion before fishing. Now you have no casting/hooking animations. If you do it right (like catch+SS+cast) it would be faster than waiting for a bite to fail. What it'll look like to toher plays is you're just going to the next animation, so be cautious, do it in a vacant area. You're welcome.
>plugins aren't cheating bro, it's just qol!

I didn't see the sales numbers for dragonflight and I thought since they didnt even get a .3 patch they must be in complete fricking despair at the state of the game, especially when they are gaslighting themselves into believe that dragonflight is a good expansion when there is nothing remarkable about it and it is basically inferior to bfa and shadowland in every way. Frick wow. answer my question pls
Its probably going to see major restructures along with basically every ActiBlizz game due to Microsoft.
Why are you asking here? Shouldn't you be asking in a WoW thread?
No one cares anymore after Shadowlands. They fixed a lot of the systemic issues but turned the setting into Disney, complete with plenty of LGBT and minority pandering. Even Asmongold is calling femboy shit.
smothering my face in Meteor's breasts
>meteor
go back to x
It's been Meteor and/or Derplander since before ARR released.
>derp
go back to knowyourmeme
Nah, that was the name because of the second ARR teaser trailer where he changed facial expressions awkwardly in seconds, and it was derpy looking.
?t=46
Hence, he was called Derplander. I've played this game longer than you've posted here, so relax.
You're basically telling me that he was never called that and its a shitty ancient reddit meme.
Wrong. Go back to myspace
>WRONG!
>its a community meme name based on the shitty memes at the time
fragile.
It's an ancient official forums meme. It was always cringe reddit shit, but he was always called Derplander.
>he was never called that
>ancient
But which is it, then? Was he always called that or was he never called that?
Show me the official source in game where he was called that. Do not link reddit.com
Ah, you're being moronic on purpose. Carry on
go back to reading rage comics le derp ecks dee
Is reddit in the room with you right now?
Go back to what?
newbie moron.
>muh juan fantasia
Go back to WoW.
Why are you calling Hiroshi meteor?
Because the official Waning of the Sixth Sun DVD referred to him as such.
Picture is full of lies.
Why would he be called Meteor Survivor before Project Meteor did anything? Are his parents psychic?
They got lucky.
shadowland did perma damage to the franchise and nobody cares. blizz ticket didnt sell out for the first time. its over.
>shadowland did perma damage to the franchise
*activision buying blizzard
What's even more strange about Blizzcon tickets not selling out, is how they hold only 1 convention for all Blizzard titles, WoW/OW/ Diablo e.t.c. unlike 4 fanfest for a single game that is ff14. FF14 tickets sold out immediately, 15k NA fanfest, 5k london fanfest 30k tokyo fanfest, 15k Shanghai fanfest yet BlizzardCon tickets were still available for purchase from first sellers, not scalpers months after the tickets went on sale.
shut the frick up. blizzcon is 45k while ff14 is 5k fanfest.
This. It also isn't fair since they can't sell out now that scalpers are selling them for half the original price.
>This
This what? Read here again
Dragonflight flopped and they realized this way too late. So the next retail expansion is gonna suffer the same fate. Nothing they can quickly rework and fix.
Their only hope is Classic and doing something interesting enough with it. Everyone has been asking for Classic+ since Blizzard started the Classic project and it's way more popular than retail WoW is. So the only way forward for them is doing something with that - But if they frick it up as well WoW is just gonna keep going down harder and harder.
We lost..
So now that the dust has settled, what were they ever thinking with the patch story?
>uh yeah ship it, we're busy doing 16
It was fun filler for what it was. I think it will be looked back on more fondly by people binging it instead of having to wait 4 months for each part.
No
frick no
think about 4 patches worth of quests back to back of zero just going "omg le human feelings, what are those????"
And the same asking to use the tower storyline back to back
Probably. Hell, people look back fondly on Heavensward which has pretty similar stretches of just nothing happening.
An anon binged it it a few weeks ago and posted his impressions in another thread and he was literally wondering the total opposite, if having pauses of several months made the dumb Zero moments actually more tolerable, because doing it really fast means you literally go
>I don't do anything for free.
>Btw let me welcome you to my voidsent orphanage, I protect these voidsent without taking tribute.
>I am really jealous of you mortals and your ability to die for real, we get a much worse fate than that if we're eaten.
>Also look at all these mortals wandering around your city, so fragile and potentially able to die at any moment, how do they even go on?
Don't have a source handy, but they admitted each patch was written by a different new person they were trying to train up. Pretty sure it was either an interview or panel from the na fanfest.
It was very clearly
>Ok guys we finished the main plot in 6.0 so you can focus on finishing XVI and then working out the DT story and what comes next from now on.
>Meanwhile, I dunno, just have the interns cook something up. Uh, tell them it has to setup the future 13th and shard exploring content too, let's kill two Meteions with one stone.
If that's even remotely true, which I believe it. Then they made one huge mistake. Keeping 16 PS5 exclusive while the majority of 14s playerbase is on PC even in Japan the only console there that is popular is the Switch because it's portable, so you can play it on the bus or train to and from school or while you're on break. Japs now are more and more into the PC while they're at home. PS5 shortages during Covid forced their hand into moving to PC.
>If that's even remotely true, which I believe it.
I remember because I had already theorized it before Yoshida confirmed it. All of those wierd "I don't do things for free (except a whole bunch of things I do for free)" kind of issues this storyline had smelled to me of several writers having to take one part each and not cooridnating well enough.
And yeah, I fricking hope that Sony money was worth it, Square.
it going to be vital important in 8.0 because of lightbringer expansion.

Remember the sexy emote they used to do? RIP
Excited for the Criterion dungeon tomorrow?
in two days but yes, i liked rokkon and sil'dih for the story and glamour sets, especially rokkon's japanese dignitary kimono
Will I be able to find a group or will it be dead 2 minutes after release?
depends on if the harder versions have worthwhile rewards
Well, it's the first Criterion dungeon that will have ilvl increasing rewards (likely shines/twines)
But it will only be in the Savage "must do the entire dungeon in one pull" mode so LOOL
Shines, twines and glazes sound fine to me as a Savage reward
>Let's give people Twine and Shines for doing something of similar difficulty as an Ultimate, in the patch where we can now get those by doing 3 Alliance Raids
If those are indeed the rewards, then I guess all of this was just a bad joke.
I guess they're not planning on making the Criterion Savage rewards weekly, so the difficulty is to balance out it's 'infinitely' grindable.
you can already grind shines and twines infinitely with hunts, i augmented like 8 items doing s-ranks and hunt trains over 2 weeks
Yeah but most people would rather kill themselves than do hunts. At least savage can be fun.
No, but whenever I'm subbing back, I'm grinding the shit out of the dungeon to get her as a mount
Criterion? No.
Variant? Yes.
Variants are cozy. Criterions are lame, but I also do them.
>lalas pandering criterion, again
No
I actually started it then they stole it.
the frick
Reminder this thing is still coming.
Who's gonna play it?
I replayed the Warring Triad in preparation for 6.5 and they were building Varis as someone so much better than the thing we eventually got in late SB.
Yes, I'm still mad.
>dual dye channels in 7.0
They're gonna have to add more glam plates.
Uhm people from Ala Mhigo or as I call them "Mhiggers" go back to Gyr Abania or else I will make the empire real again!
Stranger of Paradise crossover, WHEN?
Soon Jackbro
can't wait for the XVI content
Do you think the new limited job will be able to team up with BLU for some achievements?
Though I do think they will still have the raid ones and thus the Morbol BLU exclusive.
Will Jack be in it?
What's the best way to level jobs from 50 to 60?
So far i am spamming Prae cause it allows me to take a shit occasionally or watch stuff on youtube but i kinda wanna increase the pace so i got those last jobs ready for DT.
Heavensward dungeons (51,53,55,57,59)
Just do daily roulettes until you get 51 and then do the highest level dungeon available. Also do Frontline roulette.
Honestly anon there is no rush, my recommendation to you is to level 1 job at a time to 90 rather than all at once. If you're dead set on doing this then leveling roulette, pvp frontlines, main story roulette even day will get you 2-3 levels a day easily and you won't be burnt out from the game re-running prae.
Roulettes and then dungeon spam. If you're leveling dps jobs and have a squadron leveled up those are a little faster since you have no queue time and they're better than duty support.
What, you can take your npc minions in every dungeon now?
Only up to 60, but its been by far the fastest way to level arr and hw jobs for like 4 years now.
Israel = garleans
Palestine = doma
Their Palestine would be Corvos
You are excited for the collab right anon?
>more leap of faith
I cant wait to laugh at everyone falling off then get banned from the game.
i refuse to entertain se with their shit collabs
I wish strip fallguys was real.
Just download plugins and strip everyone yourself.
Its not the same.
Is there a convenient way for a returning player who quit in 2020 around half Eden questline (and Saphire Weapon I think) to recap what’s what in the main story and get back to playing?
I remember in vague lines the main beats of the expansions and the world but not much else.
new game + feature lets you replay the MSQ and any job quests or longer branching sidequests (like role quests) if you feel like it
Youtube I guess? There's a New Game+ function in the game itself so you can replay stuff you've already done, but then you'd just be replaying through all of it again. They added an in-game lore codex but you don't unlock it until after finishing EW.
Newgame+ or Youtube, plenty of videos recapping the story, characters and important quest lines, side quests, raids e.t.c.
I skipped all of the Manderville shit because I have no absolutely no interest in Hildebrand and it's fricking long, but I might look in on the story recap on Youtube someday.
But I completely understand why people were so pissed off about Relic being hidden behind Manderville quests after having done it myself, all of them to the very end and skipping.

Oh man they're really neutering the limbal rings.

Blizzcon was always WoWcon and not much else. Nobody went there for Diablo or Overwatch. The focus was always WoW. And with the interest beind at a lowpoint its no surprise that they can't sell those tickets. That and XIV just slept through the pandemic with Endwalker - no digital festival shit - so people still expected the next fanfests to happen as usual and thats just what we are getting now. Blizzgays meanwhile got used to no Blizzcon or potentially an entirely digital event.
You might want to actually look at Blizzcon, WoW is relegated to 1 hall of 4 and only 2/3rds of that. If WoW is so big, then got damn must Overwatch and Diablo be enormous as those both have a hall dedicated to them each.
