Raids wipe you with missing people and casual content has tanks being secondary healers
Not to mention SMN has a rez too and is 100x easier
SMN's burst window is much more predictable than RDM's because RDM is proc-dependent. This matters in high level content. Go back to being a dungeon hero and afking in Gridania
Enters fight with downtime. SMN burst window in shambles. Still out dpses RDM.

>thank God we outlawed guns, now I don't have to be afraid of going to the fanfest. Wait.. Why does he have THAT it's outlawed! Someone do something! Wait...no one can do anything... Who would've thought the bad guy wouldn't adhere to the laws... G U N S!
I don't get the hatred towards the term "hebe"
I heard it used more than a decade ago and no one cared then
Suddenly people like you care, I think it's zoomers throwing a hissy fit about nothing
I don't get it, how do you describe that age range???
guns are simultaneously worthless and you need to give them up because you can't take on the government and the police will protect you but also you need to give them up because they're a threat to everyone including the government
I always thought the framing of guns as a necessity so that people can stand against the government was stupid as frick. Given that situation, standing against the government with any lethal force is already illegal, so all the song and dance around the legality of the guns for a circumstance that is illegal no matter what just misses the entire point.
You need a guaranteed right to weapons in order to have the weapons before that resistance becomes illegal. But really it's more about having the right to guarantee your own safety through whatever means necessary without needing to call the government to effectively get permission to defend your own life. If you don't have the power to kill when your life is threatened then you don't have control of your own life.
But you don't have control of it from use of guns. By structuring it in such a way you're concerned with the legality beforehand, you know for a fact that the result of using any to have "control of your life" will only have legal ramifications that remove any semblance of control you could possibly have.
It's all a fricking larp. The only uses for a gun are personal defense or hunting.
No, GNB was barely touched going from Shadowbringers to Endwalker. If you never took the other two steps of the Gnashing Fang combo off of your hotbar you can still use them as you did before. If you weren't around for Shadowbringers, took them off your hotbar, or just want the old way of playing, you can slot Gnashing Fang on your hotbar three times to get the exact same playstyle. Everything else was an addition.

Did anything besides HW have restoration content?
While I'm not writing the game off completely yet, it does feel like Shadowbringers will have been the peak of this game. I suppose they can turn it around in the future like they did before but now it just feels like SE is just resting on their laurels. Unless 7.0 is very impressive it definitely feels like the beginning of the decline. Ten years isn't a bad run though.
i joined the balmung lala syncshell for the funnies since I never really go to balmung, and lo and behold, 1 day later on my server I run into a modded lala with some HUGE fat breasts and a really thick ass. I unironically stopped playing, dropped my pants, and jacked off to her on the spot.
is SMN really more braindead than RPR?
i might resub and frick around on SMN in the new EX and tier, havent played in a while and RPR gives me hand pain with my binds and long hours of shit PF
smn is the single most braindead easy class in the context of the rest of the classes around it in any video game ever made
not to say that the other xiv jobs are THAT complicated but you could drop nu-smn into vanilla wow and it wouldn’t really stick out amongst the mages spamming fireball and the warlocks spamming shadowbolt
I get that new smn is easy but cmon
every class in classic(excluding warrior maybe) is more braindead than new smn
Warlock especially is so shit in every raid/dungeon. You have a lot spells but they are so useless its sad, just shadowbolt lol
WHM is the simplest healer, it gets you into the mindset of healing, and it's a low risk way to feel out when and how much you need to heal.
But Sage is the fun one. When I come back I'm likely making Sage my main or at least my secondary even though i'm garbage at healing, because it's just that much more interesting than other jobs.
Sage looks cool, but yeah I don't really like the idea of just jumping into a level 70 class. I actually enjoy the slow grind of skills and the growth. And I still have some non-dps hesitation feelings. Definitely don't think I'll play healer or tank in raids or anything.
how did we go from eureka/bozja to redditbrand bros
I'm still only just in the patch content of SHB, but I'm curious of them working on that FF16 game had an effect on EW's pre and post patch content at all?
It feels like an irresponsible mismanagement to double-up on projects especially after WoWpiggies started jumping ship, but mismanagement is like a Square Enix tradition.
Low hanging fruit. Why bother making and balancing content when you get more revenue from making mogshop exclusive items that casuals and normalgays will buy in droves.
Standards got low enough for some homosexuals to actually accept the merging of two formally separate pieces of content as an explanation for the relic content being really fricking lazy.

No, HW relic also sucked because it was a tomestone grind. I don't want to turn in tomestones, I want to fulfill objectives and feel like I've gone on a journey in order to earn my weapon. We had a perfect system for this in the last two expansions so you can't even try and pretend that tomestone grinds are the only way to do relics.
It's good for new and returning players to gear out their character quickly to do endgame content. Also, you can do any content now to get your relic instead of being forced to do content that some people may not like.
Frick no? >island sanctuary is a facebook tier game replacement for actual game content like an exploration zone >new DD has coils mechanics and five room wide insta cast insta kill aoes non stop >criterion is still savage content that needs penta melded bis gear
Only good thing is variant and it’s a shame it will never become the default style of dungeons instead of hallways we have now.
Seriously tho, this is the weirdest shit I’ve seen on these boards. What do you get out of making second hand statements about a game you don’t play, and don’t understand? Like is this sort of social outlet for you?
The problem with EW isn't a lack of content it's the fact that what we got was pretty shit. Criterion and island Sanctuary both suck dick and they were two of the big bullet points of content for this expansion. The walked back not giving us Hildibrand and Deep Dungeon though so I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll have a real relic questline again for 7.0.
Variant Dungeons should have just been the dungeon design going forward. Expert would suck a lot less if the dungeon that was 8 months in rotation at least had different routes. Or at least tie them into the relics for frick's sake.
God they really should just merge the expert and level 90 roulettes. Before the existence of expert might have been justified when we got more than one dungeon a patch but now it's a coinflip instead of a roulette.
Criterion is kino though, solving the puzzles to unlock new routes with my friends and then clearing the savage mode with my static gave me some of my best memories of this expansion, they just need to give the hard modes more rewards and it'll be perfect content
There is a ton of content. It's just all the no lifers that are mad that they got midcore and casual content this expansion. I personally like Island Sanctuary since it is chilled content.
criterion fights are fun, the content is just structured like shit. also the trash mobs with the same dodge the patrols gimmick are already getting stale, i wish they’d come up with something more interesting like assaulting trash mob bases that weaken or strengthen them in certain ways depending on which base you smash first
this fricking in-out cone aoes 1hp charges + oneshot cleaves is lifted straight out of eureka orthos you uncreative lazy hacks
I like DRG the most. It was the first class I picked and I didn't really liked it initially but somewhere in SB I noticed that the rotation became fun.
Right now I have all classes at max (save BLU, haven't done the latest content yet) and DRG is still my fav class. I also like RDM, WAR and AST. And possibly RPR, but I need to play it a bit more. So even if DRG will turn dogshit in 7.0, I'll still have a Maiming job that's enjoyable.
I like RDM aesthetically, but playing BLM just makes it feel like total shit by comparison with some bullshit "rez tax" tacked on even despite SMN being as stupid good as it is.
Your incentive is dropped potency, losing damage because you didn't want to shift your ass or pop True North. Always has been. Your next line will be "parsetrannies"
We had that a long time ago but the devs are scared of there being too much of a disparity between the bottom and top. newbies don't remember when missing your DRG positionals didn't grant you Fang and Claw/Wheeling Thrust.
you used to drop combos and special effects like trick attack’s vuln for missing the positional. they’re never going to go back to those days

Not unless they make the content more punishing it won't. The game is easy enough on the low end that you can literally complete roulettes while jacking off. Making damage optimization more involved will not significantly impact roulette level content whatsoever.

that’s mostly true only for dungeons. The other day I got Eden’s verse speculcre and it wiped the group 4+ times. I was pretty drunk tho and it was on crystal at 4am.
So how are they going to butcher DRG in 7.0? I would say AST too but that job has been brutalized literally every expansion so it's just tradition at this point.
less weaving. high jump will become true projectiles, ie you don't actually move to the location and hop back. wheeling thrust/fang and claw will be baked into one button, they'll get rid of the 1 of the '2' in the combo so it will be more like warrior, aoe will become bigger
>bored of game and want to quit >for real this time >try to sell >remember I have an steam account, not a regular one >dont wanna bother with the hassle
7 and I delete my service account. Otherwise see you Black folk in 6.5
its a way to turn combat effort into gil. which the game sorely needs, but everyone seems to hate it. you got eureka, bozja, FATEs and these. in addition, it also has more things that gil can buy so it raises gil's value too
If they're so concerned with button bloat why haven't they implemented a togglable stance that transforms all your single target buttons to their AoE equivalent, would instantly solve the hotbar space issue
Could they not just do PVP combos as an option for people who want more hotbar space?
I love the pvp jobs but hate playing pvp. I can only hope they build off of the pvp jobkits and expand on them. Also love how none of them have job gauges.
Bringing the soulful pvp job design into pve would be kino but unrealistic unfortunately
>Bringing the soulful pvp job design
pvp job design is fricking boring outside of limitbreaks, im sick an tired of you homosexuals pretending anything outside of that is in anyway fun. what 14 needs is more variance not less of it.
>soul
it's literally the same kit with less buttons and an ultimate, you can do the same thing with addons and your job will play the exact fricking same.
Well its an improvement to the homogenized slog that is PvE thats for sure.
Dark Knight feels really good to play in it.
>Plunge Resets on a Kill, and DRK gets healed per kill >Has legitimate crowd control move that doubles as a health regen and defense up >AOE attack can be a fat heal
vs PvE design: >its a damage ogcd that does nothing
we can take aspects of pvp philo and implement it into pve ie. dark knight using hp for skills, but my problem is that most of the people suggesting pvp only want to have 4 or 5 buttons that REALLY don't do much 2 of which are quite literally just your pve melee and aoe combo. pve would just be more boring with pvp skills because you would actually be doing nothing but pressing 2 button for 10 minutes during savage. right now 14 is in a weird spot where raids are getting harder but jobs are getting easier, they need to find a middle ground and add actual variance to jobs that make it worth optimizing.

>ts not good against BLEEDS!
You're literally fighting the bleed with the healing, no tank is max hp after taking a hit, you just visually see it vs mitigation which works passively.
>we dont have enough raw mit!!!!
You literally have a skill better than TBN as an extra mit, on top of 20% from Bloodwhetting which also comes with a shield and a fairly long regen on attack gimmick.
If you run the numbers here, and especially conisder damage typing, WAR's defenses are stupid strong.
WAR is the default MT of every party for a reason. Its defenses are so comically overtuned its insane, and its even so insane that it gets unique Holmgang Exclusive strategies because of course it does.
warriors healing is kinda useless in savage, it's just fun to do so i don't mind it, shake and holm are extremely powerful though.
Its not, Nascent Flash is so hilariously busted compared to the other 3 tank mits its unreal.
No other tank mit double dips on its mitigation like Nascent does, you basically get the ability to act as healer #3 for literally no cost to you at all. Just because you're not using it doesn't mean it cant be used.
TBN doesnt ALSO give DRK the shield
HoC/Sheltron doesnt ALSO heal the PLD

WAR is shit in savage and savage is the only actual metric of difficulty in this game. Nascent Flash is dogshit and it would never allow you to survive a serious burst of damage. The only people that thing WAR is good are the kind of people that had never seen content outside of duty roulette.

Reaper is a massive, bleeding hole in the argument that DRG will become overly simple

RPR is incredibly simple albeit
I'm praying they take DRG down the MNK rework type path so it retains a modicum of thought behind playing it, but I am somewhat worried that they'll just make another RPR
We'll see eventually, the balance of DRG being somewhat harder(though not very hard in general imo) than RPR is a good way to balance it

Only way I could see it work without healers wanting to eat their controller/keyboard is if they let him spend HP to buff OGCDs but he also has passive life leech on his regular gcd attack skills and autos to help offset some of the cost.

I don't think people just want the pvp kits entirely.
I think they want the soul of the pvp kits to be applied to an entire job.
Rotation wise I don't think much would change, but the skills would have further utility that make you want to use them outside of raid buff vomit time every 2 minutes.

I love the pvp jobs but hate playing pvp. I can only hope they build off of the pvp jobkits and expand on them. Also love how none of them have job gauges.
I got to lv55 or something and stopped playing, I can't rember what im suppose to do like the free teleports side quest thing and something to do with getting resources sending people out, should I just start again from lv1 on a new character to relearn the game.

There was no backlash. The ~~*Saami Council*~~ is an organization constantly playing the victim for a group of people they don't represent in an attempt to get some some of that "gibzmedat" money
Finished ff1, playing ff2 and what the frick were they thinking? Why did they design the game in such a weird fricking way removing classes and making the weapon your class?
People keep saying "nothing to do" or "content is done in a week and then forgotten", but as someone that has only started playing one year ago,can someone please explain to me if this is a new phenomena or if the seething has always been there inbetween expansions? Because most if not all arguments I see pointed at the current state of the game seem to work for the state the game has always been in. The game is full of "do once, maybe twice" content all over since 2.0 ended and I haven't noticed any particular change in structure while going through it all. Every time I ask for clarification, the biggest thing people seem to point to are Eureka and Bozjas which are both community-containment areas where all you do is grind over and over.
All I am saying is that, besides the new relics being ungodly lazy and reeking of "sorry, working on XVI's dlcs", the game seems to be in a fairly usual state.
Also, did the doman enclave cause the same level of seething at the island sanctuary? I mean, they are both places where you go once a week and then you're done with.
>Also, did the doman enclave cause the same level of seething at the island sanctuary?
Doman Enclave was a completely new and unprecedented type of content that didn't take away from anything, and in fact came during the expansion with the most amount of side content (Eureka, 2 ultimates, a deep dungeon). And then Shadowbringers expanded on the idea by having the players actually build the restored area instead of just donating money. Island Sanctuary moves backwards in comparison to those two, so it's justifiably shit on.
>Island Sanctuary moves backwards
This is the argument I don't get, how? When I did enclave, all I got was a weekly cutscene for 4-5 weeks after donating scrap and after that a piece of japanese clothing. Am I missing something there? Sure, island sanctuary is just a 5 minutes management game, they feel samey only the island is a bit more involved.
Are we seriously comparing a server-wide effort to a single player small management thingie? Although you are correct, I was not there for Restoration, was there much player agency involved?
Its a bit more complex than that.
I think what we're seeing isn't exactly a problem with the ammount of content, but every piece of content is hyperfixated on savage tier difficulty of do perfect or wipe.

If you're a casual player Endwalker quite literally doesn't have content for you. Meanwhile even the most moronic of mouthbreather could find something to do in Bozja
>If you're a casual player Endwalker quite literally doesn't have content for you
Maybe I am not noticing it because I don't savage and because I am new, I have a frickton of stuff to do in general...
Remember how BLU was introduced as the "first" limited job, and they were going to do Beastmaster and Puppetmaster too? It's been two expansions since BLU came out and where are they? Limited jobs are basically an abandoned concept and they're doing BLU out of obligation.
It seems to me that FFXIV is going to be a bare minimum formulaic game from now on.

>What End walker content have you been doing?
Well you can imagine, I did what there was to be done. Levelled the 2 classes, played the story, extremes, trying to solo Orthos but I'm not too good at that. I want to finish the blu spellbook but the last couple spells (not including the new ones) are frustrating me a bit.
I get what you are trying to say and probably I would get a bit more to do if I dipped my toes into savage waters but I don't feel confident for that yet.
>Are we seriously comparing a server-wide effort to a single player small management thingie?
Yeah, because the server-wide thing was the expansion on Doman Restoration. It's the same idea, rebuilding part of the city. But with Ishgard restoration they turned the idea into a whole server effort with players going and gathering the materials and building the necessary stuff. >I was not there for Restoration, was there much player agency involved?
The area only built up if the players contributed, so yeah. They didn't get to pick what went where, but they had to actually work together and turn stuff in. And Japs started seething when NA finished steps faster than they did and it turned into a whole competition.

I mean that's cool and all, but mechanically it seems to me they are the same exact thing. Grind stuff, give stuff, cutscene happens. For a second you got me thinking the whole community had to decide the final look of firmament or maybe that would end up influencing how the housing district would look. At least personally I don't care particularly about racing over "who get it done with faster".
I understand you might be talking about the scope, obviously something involving the entire community feels grander, but ultimately it boils down to a similar premise and result.

Ishgard restoration was basically like crafter/gatherer endgame, and as a community effort it was one of the coolest things this game has ever done. It's one of the few pieces of content that really embraced the MMO aspect. But then with Island Sanctuary we go backwards into isolated single player 'go here once a week' content.
9 months ago

I guess we'll just have to disagree on the overall point. I do agree it's cool (even though 'crafter/gatherer endgame' sounds more like hell to me and I am prone to believe people that don't have crafters complained about the devs wasting time on content only for a small part of the playerbase), but mechanically what was the difference? You go to a specific area to get whatever materials you need, you grind like a madman there for a while, then you go back, craft the materials and give them in. Only, instead of doing it weekly, you do it all the time. The only difference I see is the community aspect which is obviously lacking from the island.
I suppose we care about different things.

SUCKING THE LIMITED OUT, LETTING THE BLU INSIIIIIDE, SAY A PRAYER AS THE BLITZBALL GOES AND FLIES
OR SCREAM ALL YOU LIKE, YOUR JOB'S STILL LIMITED!
The half-assed BLU update almost entirely composed of tanking skills is more evidence that they will unlimit it. BLUs will be able to just queue into SoS normally soon. And by the lack of effort to make SoS work with limited shit we can say without any doubt that limited BLU will never access Pandaemonium.
Remember how BLU was introduced as the "first" limited job, and they were going to do Beastmaster and Puppetmaster too? It's been two expansions since BLU came out and where are they? Limited jobs are basically an abandoned concept and they're doing BLU out of obligation.

Janny's hatred for XIV has manifested into a shitposting Primal.
hot take. i would rather them give us 0 or 1 new jobs and do revamps of current classes. releasing Sage was a mistake with Astrologian being turned into 'white mage with lots of ogcds'
we also have jobs like white mage, bard, scholar, red mage which are getting button bloaty and haven't functionally changed in years. which i consider an indication of good design would rather see them put effort into putting love into the classes that need it, tweaking their design philosophy, ie reevaluating the 'utility tax' and 'ranged tax' than giving us blitzballer which will be super broken and then patched into a super good broken state
yes, but it won't be to the scale that's necessary, and adding more jobs will make it worse
>whm >bard >button bloaty
homie what, i think even fricking warrior has more buttons to press than bard.
thats actually a bit i left in accidentally as i had a bit about paladin and scholar having too many buttons but got rid of it. didn't do a good enough job editing
i agree, its not strictly zero-sum like the 'if you want that it will cost you a raid tier', but resources do still have a limit and their priorities are skewed away from quality to novelty because of the demands of their audience
Thats really not that hot of a take. The jobs are so similar these days that we really don't need new ones.
I do not want another tank if they cant be asked to give us more with the ones we currently have.
All of them just play like WAR with different levels of buttons they need to press. Its boring.
Similar but not exactly the same line of thought
They just need to stop changing the jobs because they feel obligated
If a job already feels good, it doesn't need stuff slapped on top of it because an expansion is releasing
They should stop adding things to job and refine them, THEN they can add more jobs alongside the ones we have that are perfected
A fine example is them adding a third powder gauge charge to GNB, why?
I concur, the jobs need to get some love from 1-60
MNK turned out well and now it's a steady climb up with leveling and job abilities/traits
The problem is that they slapped things onto jobs because they needed to fill a quota of job ability/trait additions for the expansion
Sometimes you don't need to fix what wasn't broken >DRG gets a second life surge and spineshatter dive >GNB gets another powder charge >DRK gets """enhanced unmend"""
You could summarize Endwalker DRK with the phrase "we didnt feel like trying, so have 2 of em" >TWO Living Shadow Traits >TWO charges of Shadow Bringer >TWO charges of Oblation >TWO salted Earths
and Enhanced unmend is the cherry on top.
Guarantee you 7.0 adds "Enhanced Living Shadow III"

It's fricking over, isn't it?
Stop reworking jobs. Just add more passive traits for stat boosts. Jobs were perfect at 60 and should have been left alone after. I fear for what things will be like at level 100. Part of me wishes they just left it at 50 and just kept increasing ilvl
How much you liked ARR is a good indicator for how much you'll like the rest of the game.
They spruced up ARR a lot by adding some really cool moments and by fixing some dungeons, so some people shit on it because they played it how it was but I think it's better now.
They should probly make the trials more fun to do though like Thornmarch but overall they did a great job cleaning it up.
My mind was hoping for some steamy romantic advances from the queen then Raubahn kicks the door open and tries to kick WoL ass.

Raids wipe you with missing people and casual content has tanks being secondary healers
Not to mention SMN has a rez too and is 100x easier
>SMN has a rez too
red mage can cast twice as many res's as smn can.
If you're casting that many rezzes in any content that matters, the run is done red cvck
SMN's burst window is much more predictable than RDM's because RDM is proc-dependent. This matters in high level content. Go back to being a dungeon hero and afking in Gridania
Enters fight with downtime. SMN burst window in shambles. Still out dpses RDM.
Depends on the timing of said deaths, can easily clear most fights this tier with double digit deaths.
Does the game has big boobed characters?
the ones with big boobs are extremely tall or npcs.
not really "big", but they can be somewhat weight.
there is absolutely no asses even approaching medium sized.
asses with the 2b bottoms are decent
Only Siren does. Similarly, Echidna is the only one who has junk in the trunk.
Roe, Highlander and Viera have big boobs.

Suddenly people like you care, I think it's zoomers throwing a hissy fit about nothing
I don't get it, how do you describe that age range???
have a nice day pedo freak.
guns are simultaneously worthless and you need to give them up because you can't take on the government and the police will protect you but also you need to give them up because they're a threat to everyone including the government
I always thought the framing of guns as a necessity so that people can stand against the government was stupid as frick. Given that situation, standing against the government with any lethal force is already illegal, so all the song and dance around the legality of the guns for a circumstance that is illegal no matter what just misses the entire point.
it's a check-balance against the government
You need a guaranteed right to weapons in order to have the weapons before that resistance becomes illegal. But really it's more about having the right to guarantee your own safety through whatever means necessary without needing to call the government to effectively get permission to defend your own life. If you don't have the power to kill when your life is threatened then you don't have control of your own life.
But you don't have control of it from use of guns. By structuring it in such a way you're concerned with the legality beforehand, you know for a fact that the result of using any to have "control of your life" will only have legal ramifications that remove any semblance of control you could possibly have.
It's all a fricking larp. The only uses for a gun are personal defense or hunting.
Yep. Never been so hopefully its fun at least as a one time thing.

No, GNB was barely touched going from Shadowbringers to Endwalker. If you never took the other two steps of the Gnashing Fang combo off of your hotbar you can still use them as you did before. If you weren't around for Shadowbringers, took them off your hotbar, or just want the old way of playing, you can slot Gnashing Fang on your hotbar three times to get the exact same playstyle. Everything else was an addition.

While I'm not writing the game off completely yet, it does feel like Shadowbringers will have been the peak of this game. I suppose they can turn it around in the future like they did before but now it just feels like SE is just resting on their laurels. Unless 7.0 is very impressive it definitely feels like the beginning of the decline. Ten years isn't a bad run though.

i joined the balmung lala syncshell for the funnies since I never really go to balmung, and lo and behold, 1 day later on my server I run into a modded lala with some HUGE fat breasts and a really thick ass. I unironically stopped playing, dropped my pants, and jacked off to her on the spot.

is SMN really more braindead than RPR?
i might resub and frick around on SMN in the new EX and tier, havent played in a while and RPR gives me hand pain with my binds and long hours of shit PF
SMN is pretty braindead and has a rigid rotation yeah. Still fun from the spectacle though
smn is the single most braindead easy class in the context of the rest of the classes around it in any video game ever made
not to say that the other xiv jobs are THAT complicated but you could drop nu-smn into vanilla wow and it wouldn’t really stick out amongst the mages spamming fireball and the warlocks spamming shadowbolt
underselling it. nu smn is more braindead than any wow spec
plz explain the frost mage rotation in classic
i thought we weren’t talking about classic?
I get that new smn is easy but cmon
every class in classic(excluding warrior maybe) is more braindead than new smn
Warlock especially is so shit in every raid/dungeon. You have a lot spells but they are so useless its sad, just shadowbolt lol
Come home, white man.

I guess it is the most fun tank.
I like to pair the Allegiance artifact armor with the Molybdenum Gunblade, looks nice.
BLM, MNK and NIN for me.
I'm leveling PLD at 37 right now. I have yet to touch a healer. I'm thinking maybe WHM.
you look like a homosexual
t.
WHM is the simplest healer, it gets you into the mindset of healing, and it's a low risk way to feel out when and how much you need to heal.
But Sage is the fun one. When I come back I'm likely making Sage my main or at least my secondary even though i'm garbage at healing, because it's just that much more interesting than other jobs.
Sage looks cool, but yeah I don't really like the idea of just jumping into a level 70 class. I actually enjoy the slow grind of skills and the growth. And I still have some non-dps hesitation feelings. Definitely don't think I'll play healer or tank in raids or anything.

I'm still only just in the patch content of SHB, but I'm curious of them working on that FF16 game had an effect on EW's pre and post patch content at all?
It feels like an irresponsible mismanagement to double-up on projects especially after WoWpiggies started jumping ship, but mismanagement is like a Square Enix tradition.
How do you guys think the game will get dumb down even more at Fanfest?
I'll be surprised if positionals make it to 7.0.
Heard it before 6.0, they aren't going away when Reaper still uses them for Gibbet and Gallows.
>How do you guys think the game will get dumb down
Your response?
what's the hairstyle estinien uses, or that close-enough one he's using
how did we go from eureka/bozja to redditbrand bros
This is an MMO for people who hate MMOs. So naturally the less MMO content they have to do, the better it is for them.
Standards got low enough for some homosexuals to actually accept the merging of two formally separate pieces of content as an explanation for the relic content being really fricking lazy.
Low hanging fruit. Why bother making and balancing content when you get more revenue from making mogshop exclusive items that casuals and normalgays will buy in droves.

And no, I grinded Garuda HM like everyone else with a brain.
>It seems like you enjoy a "Skinner Box" more than you like playing the game to play it
No, I like having things to work on, whatever they may be. I don't need rewards, but rewards are nice. And they're pretty important for getting the necessary asses in seats that you need to do the content.
>No, I like having things to work on
That means you need a carrot on a stick to play the game, you need a "Skinner Box" to grind that constantly tells you that you're a good boy and doing the right thing!
>garuda HM
That's not much better..100s of runs of the same fight as you optimize the meta for light gain...
>you enjoy completing content? that means you're addicted to skinner boxes! healthy folx like myself (she/her) know the real way to play is making our own fun by gposing in Limsa!
There's plenty of content for you to complete
You just expect a shiny carrot on a stick at the end because you don't actually enjoy playing the game
As I stated before, you enjoy grinding the "Skinner Box" for the game to tell you "good job, here's a glowing weapon!"
who the frick likes MMO gameplay?
>There's plenty of content for you to complete
No, there isn't. That's the problem. Maybe you should stop projecting and assuming everyone is a newbie that still has Heavensward content to grind out. Those of us who didn't follow Asmongold over have already exhausted all that shit and shockingly expected new content with the expansion.

The content you're asking for would just be doing old content.
ShB relic only had a bit of bozja, it was mostly older content grinds.
>crying about repetitive tasks
>in a video game
Holy shit, who is taking this moron seriously?
That's not what the post said
yeah that’s why good game design is having frickall rewards such as criterion savage. because you are supposed to want to do the fights for the sake of it
fricking naive moron
>I don't need rewards, I do content for its own sake!
>W-wait, why isn't anyone signing up for my criterion static? Why are they just buying the mog station glams instead?!
I doubt they've even touched Criterion Savage to begin with.
>arguing this disingenuously
7/10, you got that anon good. No one with an above room temperature IQ would take you seriously. Grats on the successful b8!
>That's not much better..100s of runs of the same fight as you optimize the meta for light gain
Farming moogle tomes pre patch is one of my favourite things to do at this point. Its relaxing, you get to talk to the people in your party finder group and it is combat content. Heck you can even use BLU for once.
>Gacha subhumans thing wanting things to do is le carrot on a stick
Every
Single
Time
So if instead it was 15,000 tomes, would you be happy? Ppl would min max the grind and there would be people running the quickest route 24/7
No, HW relic also sucked because it was a tomestone grind. I don't want to turn in tomestones, I want to fulfill objectives and feel like I've gone on a journey in order to earn my weapon. We had a perfect system for this in the last two expansions so you can't even try and pretend that tomestone grinds are the only way to do relics.
You think pretty highly of yourself don't you?
not when it comes to cooking. the light in my oven doesn't work so its hard for me to eyeball it
>he doesn't have a small kitchen flashlight for just such an occasion
It was actually so handy I dragged my feet on fixing the light.
It's good for new and returning players to gear out their character quickly to do endgame content. Also, you can do any content now to get your relic instead of being forced to do content that some people may not like.
Did you not enjoy Island Sanctuary, the new Deep Dungeon and Crieterian?
Frick no?
>island sanctuary is a facebook tier game replacement for actual game content like an exploration zone
>new DD has coils mechanics and five room wide insta cast insta kill aoes non stop

Only good thing is variant and it’s a shame it will never become the default style of dungeons instead of hallways we have now.
> needs penta melded bis gear
Do you even play this game?
Not anymore.
Don’t you have this months 29$ mount to buy?
I hope you are getting paid for this, given you fricked up the script.
>say moronic shit
>get called a moron
>shut up paypig
lmao come on now.
Seriously tho, this is the weirdest shit I’ve seen on these boards. What do you get out of making second hand statements about a game you don’t play, and don’t understand? Like is this sort of social outlet for you?
>BiS gear

Man Discord trannies are insane AND moronic
my favorite part of hildibrand is when he was upside down in the ground with ripped clothes.
For me it's when he got creeped out by the coblyn and threw it away lmao
1500 relic good
wow!
so cool!
I only picked up the relic for my main job because I was lazy and now that I like them all I have to grind out 81000 tomes
I can't wait for 7.0 shitposting lads. I need some fresh memes.
sge is actually more boring than whm in raids jesus christ
It's also way fricking stronger and generally more useful since mitigation is way more important than pure healing throughput.
>stardew thread autosaged and died at 15 posts
>I made one and it was actually deleted at 30
>MMORPG general stays up for 150
The problem with EW isn't a lack of content it's the fact that what we got was pretty shit. Criterion and island Sanctuary both suck dick and they were two of the big bullet points of content for this expansion. The walked back not giving us Hildibrand and Deep Dungeon though so I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll have a real relic questline again for 7.0.
Unfortunately that means variants will get the axe because small indie company despite the idea behind them being pretty good.
Variant Dungeons should have just been the dungeon design going forward. Expert would suck a lot less if the dungeon that was 8 months in rotation at least had different routes. Or at least tie them into the relics for frick's sake.
here's the real question. why is expert roulette not all level 90 dungeons?
To justify an extra roulette. It really is dumb.
God they really should just merge the expert and level 90 roulettes. Before the existence of expert might have been justified when we got more than one dungeon a patch but now it's a coinflip instead of a roulette.
Merge the expert and lvl 90
Separate the alliance into 50/60 and 70/80/90.
>Wanting less roulettes which means less tomestones which means the relic is harder to get
wtf sis get the narrative right
Criterion is kino though, solving the puzzles to unlock new routes with my friends and then clearing the savage mode with my static gave me some of my best memories of this expansion, they just need to give the hard modes more rewards and it'll be perfect content
There is a ton of content. It's just all the no lifers that are mad that they got midcore and casual content this expansion. I personally like Island Sanctuary since it is chilled content.
>whoooaaaaa i'm clicking nodes omg this is so chill cozy vibes!!! me and blahaj are vibing out!!!
criterion fights are fun, the content is just structured like shit. also the trash mobs with the same dodge the patrols gimmick are already getting stale, i wish they’d come up with something more interesting like assaulting trash mob bases that weaken or strengthen them in certain ways depending on which base you smash first
this fricking in-out cone aoes 1hp charges + oneshot cleaves is lifted straight out of eureka orthos you uncreative lazy hacks
Best Scion with best city intro.
I like DRG the most. It was the first class I picked and I didn't really liked it initially but somewhere in SB I noticed that the rotation became fun.
Right now I have all classes at max (save BLU, haven't done the latest content yet) and DRG is still my fav class. I also like RDM, WAR and AST. And possibly RPR, but I need to play it a bit more. So even if DRG will turn dogshit in 7.0, I'll still have a Maiming job that's enjoyable.
I like RDM aesthetically, but playing BLM just makes it feel like total shit by comparison with some bullshit "rez tax" tacked on even despite SMN being as stupid good as it is.
I'm the other way around. I prefer BLM aesthetically but enjoy RDM gameplay more.
What's the point of gibbet and gallows if they do the same shit but differently positioned?
to make reaper more involved, because without that its a tank
melee players(expect tanks) claim positionals are peak gameplay for whatever reason
To make you move around and do stuff.
to force you to move for moar dps when True North is on cooldown.
They combo into each other so you can't just keep hitting the same side over and over.
>take half a step to the left every other combo
>whoa peak gameplay
lmao current positionals suck dick, they need more incentive/penalty for missing
Your incentive is dropped potency, losing damage because you didn't want to shift your ass or pop True North. Always has been. Your next line will be "parsetrannies"
you used to drop combos and special effects like trick attack’s vuln for missing the positional. they’re never going to go back to those days
sounds shitty
Exactly why it works that way, now you get some people that want it back as "skill expression"
We had that a long time ago but the devs are scared of there being too much of a disparity between the bottom and top. newbies don't remember when missing your DRG positionals didn't grant you Fang and Claw/Wheeling Thrust.
I know, I've been here since 2.4. This "push everyone as hard as we can towards the median" job design is absolute fricking cancer. Incentivize playing well and frick the Black folk who can't be assed to learn how to play. 99 percent of the people who would complain about it won't even be doing content where that shit is relevant anyway.
Understand also that job-design affects both top and bottom of skill/content, which means anything you do for the sake of raiders and skill expression impacts literally everything beneath it.
it doesn’t affect the bottom because the bottom expects nothing out of you
>but the bottom is easy!!!
Doesn't matter, dipshit.
Refer to
. Frick roulette heroes, don't give a shit. Make the game fun to play.
"Frick the low end, focus entirely on the high end" always produces a miserable game.
Plz don't remind me about Overwatch
Ironically "frick the low end" is an EXTREMELY Blizzard way of designing a game.
it wouldn't do shit to the low end
roulette content can be done with moronic as frick trust bots and casualgays don't care about anything above that
>it wouldn't do shit to the low end
You're an idiot if you think changing jobs to suit the high end would not be immensely detrimental to the low end.
Not unless they make the content more punishing it won't. The game is easy enough on the low end that you can literally complete roulettes while jacking off. Making damage optimization more involved will not significantly impact roulette level content whatsoever.
Incorrect. Wannabe parsehomosexuals that don't actually do high end content but like to act like hot shit on forums are the ones responsible for that.
Kek I play fighting games avatargay, I'm not afraid of a challenge. I'm frustrated by my entire job (DRK) being "dump literally everything at 2 minutes and then press 1-2-3 for the rest of the encounter".
>plays fightan games
why are there so many fightan players in mmos? is it because both games are flowcharty?
You're kidding right? Parsehomosexuals are the reason the game has homgenized as hard as it is.
We've seen so many skills removed because they have no place in week 1 savage clears, despite them being meant for other types of content that just cant exist anymore.
Can't wait for them to remove Shield Bash from PLD because you think its worthless because MUH PARRRSSEEEE
the devs are the reason the game got homogenized so hard
they don't give a frick about NA casuals screeching
So far the only feedback I've seen SE consider has been some bald austitic frick on twitch who wants WAR to be the best job at literally every single thing on the planet.
You're not talking about Xeno are you? I thought he was banned from any mediatour shit after he had a huge b***h fit at Yoshi for nerfing a class or some other shit.
I wish they tried to lean into the international audience of the game a bit more, the Youtube channel is so fricking autistic in disabling likes/ comments and being out of every ten videos 7 of them will be in Japanese with no subtitles.
Devs don't give a frick about raiders screeching, either, is an interesting addendum, because otherwise we'd still have ARR/Heavensward jank like Cleric Stance.
if you want a game with challenge go to a genre that isn't catered to the widest possible audience and is populated mostly by 30+ year old boomers. or are you too chickenshit to take on an actual challenge and want to be a big fish in a tiny pond
Not really when roulette content is so braindead you can get hard carried pressing 1-1-1-1-1 the entire time. Limsacat Dicksuckamus isn't going to be denied their roulette tomes because melees have more intricate movement to optimize.
that’s mostly true only for dungeons. The other day I got Eden’s verse speculcre and it wiped the group 4+ times. I was pretty drunk tho and it was on crystal at 4am.
You'll still be taking half a step to the left every other combo, the real solution is giving all the melee jobs a frontal positional
So how are they going to butcher DRG in 7.0? I would say AST too but that job has been brutalized literally every expansion so it's just tradition at this point.
less weaving. high jump will become true projectiles, ie you don't actually move to the location and hop back. wheeling thrust/fang and claw will be baked into one button, they'll get rid of the 1 of the '2' in the combo so it will be more like warrior, aoe will become bigger
>high jump will become true projectiles, ie you don't actually move to the location and hop back.
It already works like this as of a patch or two ago
ast is going to have aoe cards to placate the stupid consolegays who whine about having to spam their dpad to target cards onto people
I hate that you're probably right.

if they really wanted people to actually have an incentive to do criterion dungeons, the should offer a free lala onahole after every run
I will literally fantasia to a Lalafell and become the permanent onahole of anyone who lets me actually get a fricking group for ASS savage
its a way to turn combat effort into gil. which the game sorely needs, but everyone seems to hate it. you got eureka, bozja, FATEs and these. in addition, it also has more things that gil can buy so it raises gil's value too
If they're so concerned with button bloat why haven't they implemented a togglable stance that transforms all your single target buttons to their AoE equivalent, would instantly solve the hotbar space issue
AoE combos are the one thing I wouldn't mind seeing just turned into one button. Single target combos should stay separate though.
Why not?
Bringing the soulful pvp job design into pve would be kino but unrealistic unfortunately
>Bringing the soulful pvp job design
pvp job design is fricking boring outside of limitbreaks, im sick an tired of you homosexuals pretending anything outside of that is in anyway fun. what 14 needs is more variance not less of it.
t. Soul allergy
>soul
it's literally the same kit with less buttons and an ultimate, you can do the same thing with addons and your job will play the exact fricking same.
Well its an improvement to the homogenized slog that is PvE thats for sure.
Dark Knight feels really good to play in it.
>Plunge Resets on a Kill, and DRK gets healed per kill
>Has legitimate crowd control move that doubles as a health regen and defense up
>AOE attack can be a fat heal
vs PvE design:
>its a damage ogcd that does nothing
my issue with this is that if you made a pve mode with the pvp movesets it would be more akin to a moba
we can take aspects of pvp philo and implement it into pve ie. dark knight using hp for skills, but my problem is that most of the people suggesting pvp only want to have 4 or 5 buttons that REALLY don't do much 2 of which are quite literally just your pve melee and aoe combo. pve would just be more boring with pvp skills because you would actually be doing nothing but pressing 2 button for 10 minutes during savage. right now 14 is in a weird spot where raids are getting harder but jobs are getting easier, they need to find a middle ground and add actual variance to jobs that make it worth optimizing.
optimizing is difficult enough that most people have no idea how to do it already. recent BLU content with how few BLUs are using Moon Flute is evidence enough of how dumb the playerbase is. And making the MSQ harder won't make the players better
>optimizing is difficult enough
yeah it's difficult for most people but it's just not fun to even think about which is my problem, it's like oh do we hold our 2 minutes here or there and that is the most you'll ever think about.
as a tank i'd rather the healers have to think about healing more than spamming glare or broil
yes anon, if you play a game for 10 years you get good at it. thats the issue here
the jobs have been getting simpler because the devs make it simpler while the players simultaneously get better. i don't know what so hard to understand that people want the devs to make the jobs harder or at least more interesting across expansions not the opposite.
they're not going to get more interesting for you anon. the amount of change they'd have to do to make it 'interesting' for someone who's been doing the same shit for 10 years, in 2 year pockets would have to change the entire philosophy of the gameplay. it simply won't happen
this is like a level of cynicism that i can't really interact with, i'm not asking them to rework the entire combat system just some cool quirks that are unique to the individual jobs, you are acting like they haven't done this before.
they have done a few good quirks. adding magic phase to paladin, bard's song stances. but what i'm saying is YOU personally aren't going to be more interested in the combat because it adds another plate to spin or lets monks dps at range for a few seconds or they add AST cards to machinist and call it gambler
the novelty you are chasing isn't going to come from a game notorious for not changing shit. in fact, i suspect you get more fun out of complaining about things than you would if they 'fixed' it
yeah man, i also think bard is one of the most interesting jobs in the game and we should have more things like it but frick me for complaining about tanks all being either warrior 1 and warrior 2 and gunbreaker 1 and gunbreaker 2 (now with the paladin update). you homosexuals need to have some light in your hearts cause all you can only see people wanting to see their favorite game improve is that they will never be happy.
>i personally wouldn't like it
have a nice day homosexual there are things i like about some of the jobs and their design and things i dislike about it. it's not black and white.
ah. its you. just say the H word so you can be filtered as you always are
what the frick is the h word
He means 'homogenous' because he thinks that everyone who thinks there's a problem with current job design is the guy in his walls who wants the game to fail because he hates Venat
PLD does not play like GNB
That statement alone made me discard the rest of your post, what a moronic statement
>PLD does not play like GNB
lmao, literally any paladin player and their mother will tell you that the update makes it plays like gunbreaker. play tank for once
if you list "ummm, as a paladin" concern troll posts i guess, what changed for paladin is divine might giving them better sustain in dungeons, divine veil not being moronic, and requiescat/fight or flight adhering to 2m burst design, because the phys phase/mag phase split was an active detriment to paladin's dps compared to the other three tanks. it hasn't actually changed much in its general flow

eh drk does need to pool a little bit more to giga dump tbftbf
All the tanks just play like fricking WAR, but WAR is the one with the highest damage, strongest defenses, best party utility, best invuln, and lowest level of execution.
Grug wins
I'd say that the strongest defenses for WAR is overrated unless you are pretty much a dungeon enjoyer.
I'd actually say they're severely underrated, and WAR gays cry about anything
>ts not good against BLEEDS!
You're literally fighting the bleed with the healing, no tank is max hp after taking a hit, you just visually see it vs mitigation which works passively.
>we dont have enough raw mit!!!!
You literally have a skill better than TBN as an extra mit, on top of 20% from Bloodwhetting which also comes with a shield and a fairly long regen on attack gimmick.
If you run the numbers here, and especially conisder damage typing, WAR's defenses are stupid strong.
WAR is the default MT of every party for a reason. Its defenses are so comically overtuned its insane, and its even so insane that it gets unique Holmgang Exclusive strategies because of course it does.
Its not, Nascent Flash is so hilariously busted compared to the other 3 tank mits its unreal.
No other tank mit double dips on its mitigation like Nascent does, you basically get the ability to act as healer #3 for literally no cost to you at all. Just because you're not using it doesn't mean it cant be used.
TBN doesnt ALSO give DRK the shield
HoC/Sheltron doesnt ALSO heal the PLD
But WAR double dips because of course the baby job gets preferential treatment.
is this the DRK crying that his job is no longer the best best despite it being the strongest almost the entirety of the expansion
>cant refute it so throw insults
lol
Don't even care about whats meta, I'm just sick of the blatant job favoritism and the fact balancing only ever cares about savages.
Unless of course they're worried about WAR's performance in dungeons, in which we better give Shake even more healing and turn their aoe into a circle.
Literally overcatered diaper job
But he didn't insult you at all
What
what job favoritism, all the tanks this expansion have gotten incredibly buffed every patch.
I think that they are overrated as hell, because BW isn't impactful in relevant content as you may think.
WAR is shit in savage and savage is the only actual metric of difficulty in this game. Nascent Flash is dogshit and it would never allow you to survive a serious burst of damage. The only people that thing WAR is good are the kind of people that had never seen content outside of duty roulette.
WAR's invuln is the best in the game... are you on drugs?
warriors healing is kinda useless in savage, it's just fun to do so i don't mind it, shake and holm are extremely powerful though.
I can say the same fricking thing for NIN if I'm a moronic reductionist like you
>NIN
>press your burst oGCDs and do ninjutsu
>otherwise use your normal attacks and ninjutsu every 2-3 combos
dumb Black person
>have a nice day homosexual there are things i like about some of the jobs and their design and things i dislike about it. it's not black and white.
Black person, there are only two jobs in the game that I love both the gameplay and class fantasy of and I don't want them to change just so (You) can have fun, leave my shit alone
your jobs will get gutted just like the rest of them for simplicity sake because thats the direction the game has been heading, chop chop dragoon gays
dragoon is already the simplest melee. they'll be reducing the weaving and prbably shortening the combo so its not as punishing to drop it
Reaper is a massive, bleeding hole in the argument that DRG will become overly simple
RPR is incredibly simple albeit
I'm praying they take DRG down the MNK rework type path so it retains a modicum of thought behind playing it, but I am somewhat worried that they'll just make another RPR
We'll see eventually, the balance of DRG being somewhat harder(though not very hard in general imo) than RPR is a good way to balance it
i would say reaper being so simple is a bad omen on future jobs
dragoon was never complex either
Cope, I play black mage and samurai, I am protected by the sheer autism of blm and sam enjoyers
kaiten getting nuked is a bad omen though
BLM getting more and more movement each expansion is kinda cringe but yoshiP probably won't frick with it too much since it's his main, sam i would be worried about.
Dragoon fricking dies in less than a year now.
i'm curious on samurai because, objectively, kaiten was a useless button, but it did work as a kenki drain and it did feel good to push on iaijutsus, and the blowback over its removal made them postpone dragoon and ast's own reworks
>jap thread on the kaiten removal had 7 deleted posts on the first page
Wow japanese fans are vocal about the SAM changes and they are not happy.
This is why I feel safe under the veil of autism, they're not going to frick with it again after that shit
Don't you think you'd be embarrased or ashamed that your community openly and verbally DREADS the thought of job reworks because your team is so bad at it?
Its weird to me how ok with that YoshiP is for how much he pretends to care.
>your community openly and verbally DREADS the thought of job reworks because your team is so bad at it?
what game are you describing
monk, summoner and paladin reworks were very positively received

MNK and SMN were positively received by people who never played MNK and SMN.
Monk was horrible in HW, SB and most of ShB.
>it was horrible because it seemed too hard and scary!

>Monk was horrible in...SB
Tornado-Kick MNK was the best MNK's ever been.
smn mains have been the laughing stock of the game this entire expansion with how babymodo that job is now.
"it's baby mode" is not actually a condemnation of it
You're just being malicious and trying to make Yoshida feel bad.

It really is just a bunch of ESL brownoids and SEA monkeys shitting up these threads isn't it?
If anyone deserves negative comments, it's Kate Cwynar.
As a healer I can't think of anything else I want less than for a tank to play merry hell with his HP value
And you're exactly why jobs will never be unique or interesting.
That's why they didn't do it
It would have been fine for a game that plays more like PSO or Monhun but not for holy trinity tab target gameplay
Only way I could see it work without healers wanting to eat their controller/keyboard is if they let him spend HP to buff OGCDs but he also has passive life leech on his regular gcd attack skills and autos to help offset some of the cost.
I don't think people just want the pvp kits entirely.
I think they want the soul of the pvp kits to be applied to an entire job.
Rotation wise I don't think much would change, but the skills would have further utility that make you want to use them outside of raid buff vomit time every 2 minutes.
healers can get fricked.
Could they not just do PVP combos as an option for people who want more hotbar space?
I love the pvp jobs but hate playing pvp. I can only hope they build off of the pvp jobkits and expand on them. Also love how none of them have job gauges.
It be great if Salted Earth did what it did in PvE, so DRK's ogcds felt like they actually helped with tanking for a change.
But hey instead lets give 500 more Additional Effects to WAR's skills.

I got to lv55 or something and stopped playing, I can't rember what im suppose to do like the free teleports side quest thing and something to do with getting resources sending people out, should I just start again from lv1 on a new character to relearn the game.
Nah, maybe go to an inn and watch some of recent cutscenes to remember wtf is going on, but doing arr once is shit enough
you're on bath salts if you think SE is doing a full native american expansion after the backlash they got for the Sami set
they have managed to go for over a decade without a single Black person, they don’t care.
The sami are a bunch of whiny little b***hes and nobody takes them seriously. All they can do is screech.

So wait what's the issue here?
cultural appropriation
yeah, they are that moronic
>Everyone knows the Saami "Council" are whiny c**ts that don't actually represent the Saami
>this article comes out
>some tweets are made
>literally nothing ends up happening
>outfit is still in game being sold for real money and nothing is given to the pieces of shit that are the Saami Council
You talk like a gay and your shit's all moronic.
There was no backlash. The ~~*Saami Council*~~ is an organization constantly playing the victim for a group of people they don't represent in an attempt to get some some of that "gibzmedat" money
Ah just like the Maoris who screech about Bionicle and Path of Exile
I only play homosexual male vieras
Finished ff1, playing ff2 and what the frick were they thinking? Why did they design the game in such a weird fricking way removing classes and making the weapon your class?

They wanted to try something different.
you'll be getting that gameplay shock at pretty much every FF. don't get too attached to any one style

well at least the weapons look cool which is more to be said than (most) of the bozja/eureka ones

People keep saying "nothing to do" or "content is done in a week and then forgotten", but as someone that has only started playing one year ago,can someone please explain to me if this is a new phenomena or if the seething has always been there inbetween expansions? Because most if not all arguments I see pointed at the current state of the game seem to work for the state the game has always been in. The game is full of "do once, maybe twice" content all over since 2.0 ended and I haven't noticed any particular change in structure while going through it all. Every time I ask for clarification, the biggest thing people seem to point to are Eureka and Bozjas which are both community-containment areas where all you do is grind over and over.
All I am saying is that, besides the new relics being ungodly lazy and reeking of "sorry, working on XVI's dlcs", the game seems to be in a fairly usual state.
Also, did the doman enclave cause the same level of seething at the island sanctuary? I mean, they are both places where you go once a week and then you're done with.
>Also, did the doman enclave cause the same level of seething at the island sanctuary?
Doman Enclave was a completely new and unprecedented type of content that didn't take away from anything, and in fact came during the expansion with the most amount of side content (Eureka, 2 ultimates, a deep dungeon). And then Shadowbringers expanded on the idea by having the players actually build the restored area instead of just donating money. Island Sanctuary moves backwards in comparison to those two, so it's justifiably shit on.
>Island Sanctuary moves backwards
This is the argument I don't get, how? When I did enclave, all I got was a weekly cutscene for 4-5 weeks after donating scrap and after that a piece of japanese clothing. Am I missing something there? Sure, island sanctuary is just a 5 minutes management game, they feel samey only the island is a bit more involved.
Because you're missing Ishgard restoration and how it expanded on the idea of the player building up a space. Island Sanctuary is backwards from that.
Are we seriously comparing a server-wide effort to a single player small management thingie? Although you are correct, I was not there for Restoration, was there much player agency involved?
>If you're a casual player Endwalker quite literally doesn't have content for you
Maybe I am not noticing it because I don't savage and because I am new, I have a frickton of stuff to do in general...
What End walker content have you been doing?
It seems to me that FFXIV is going to be a bare minimum formulaic game from now on.
>What End walker content have you been doing?
Well you can imagine, I did what there was to be done. Levelled the 2 classes, played the story, extremes, trying to solo Orthos but I'm not too good at that. I want to finish the blu spellbook but the last couple spells (not including the new ones) are frustrating me a bit.
I get what you are trying to say and probably I would get a bit more to do if I dipped my toes into savage waters but I don't feel confident for that yet.
>Are we seriously comparing a server-wide effort to a single player small management thingie?
Yeah, because the server-wide thing was the expansion on Doman Restoration. It's the same idea, rebuilding part of the city. But with Ishgard restoration they turned the idea into a whole server effort with players going and gathering the materials and building the necessary stuff.
>I was not there for Restoration, was there much player agency involved?
The area only built up if the players contributed, so yeah. They didn't get to pick what went where, but they had to actually work together and turn stuff in. And Japs started seething when NA finished steps faster than they did and it turned into a whole competition.
I mean that's cool and all, but mechanically it seems to me they are the same exact thing. Grind stuff, give stuff, cutscene happens. For a second you got me thinking the whole community had to decide the final look of firmament or maybe that would end up influencing how the housing district would look. At least personally I don't care particularly about racing over "who get it done with faster".
I understand you might be talking about the scope, obviously something involving the entire community feels grander, but ultimately it boils down to a similar premise and result.
Ishgard restoration was basically like crafter/gatherer endgame, and as a community effort it was one of the coolest things this game has ever done. It's one of the few pieces of content that really embraced the MMO aspect. But then with Island Sanctuary we go backwards into isolated single player 'go here once a week' content.
I guess we'll just have to disagree on the overall point. I do agree it's cool (even though 'crafter/gatherer endgame' sounds more like hell to me and I am prone to believe people that don't have crafters complained about the devs wasting time on content only for a small part of the playerbase), but mechanically what was the difference? You go to a specific area to get whatever materials you need, you grind like a madman there for a while, then you go back, craft the materials and give them in. Only, instead of doing it weekly, you do it all the time. The only difference I see is the community aspect which is obviously lacking from the island.
I suppose we care about different things.
Its a bit more complex than that.
I think what we're seeing isn't exactly a problem with the ammount of content, but every piece of content is hyperfixated on savage tier difficulty of do perfect or wipe.
>Criterion? First one has body checks on mechanics more rigid than p6/p7/p9/p11
>Eureka Orthos? Every mob is respect its mechanics or die. Even on floor 1.
>Its even bleeding into Extremes, Golbez's meteor mech is a savage tier body check.
If you're a casual player Endwalker quite literally doesn't have content for you. Meanwhile even the most moronic of mouthbreather could find something to do in Bozja
SAY WESTWOOOOOLVES
WITH EACH THREAD DOES YOUR SANITY DIE
SUCKING THE LIMITED OUT, LETTING THE BLU INSIIIIIDE, SAY A PRAYER AS THE BLITZBALL GOES AND FLIES
OR SCREAM ALL YOU LIKE, YOUR JOB'S STILL LIMITED!
Kek do BLUgays really still think they have a chance? They couldn't even be assed to let you into two of the EX trials this time around.
The half-assed BLU update almost entirely composed of tanking skills is more evidence that they will unlimit it. BLUs will be able to just queue into SoS normally soon. And by the lack of effort to make SoS work with limited shit we can say without any doubt that limited BLU will never access Pandaemonium.
>the devs giving even less of a shit than normal means they're going to overhaul the entire job you'll see
Now this is some premium cope
It would not surprise me if BLU ends up like Squadrons and Grand Company ranks in a few expacs.
Remember how BLU was introduced as the "first" limited job, and they were going to do Beastmaster and Puppetmaster too? It's been two expansions since BLU came out and where are they? Limited jobs are basically an abandoned concept and they're doing BLU out of obligation.
They already have some goofy moments in the trials and in Eden as it is
I can't imagine doing the insane mechs in Panda on a BLU
I always find it crazy that people think they can play a game every waking moment of their life and that they won't run out of content in the process
I like FFXIV's repeatable content, DRS and BA are great.
EW sucks for not having more Bozja.
you can thank wow and their moronic playerbase calling m+ content
but m+ is fun
yeah, so fun people would rather pay for a boost than doing them
so fun the few ones willing to run them by themselves purposedly avoid certain weeks where affixes become beyond obnoxious, and blizz frick their asses with a patch that prevented them from skipping some affixes to get ksm
such fun lmao

I went to post a reply to someone here, and the "endwalker sucks we know" part of 's post was auto-inserted into my reply box despite me not even having scrolled down far enough to SEE that post.
...bros, I think botposting is actually part of the Ganker backend. I think this shit's been automated on the Ganker end of things.
its the auto quote function. if you highlight some text and open the quick reply box, the highleted text will be automatically placed in it, it comes with its own meme arrow too
Read, anon. I hadn't even scrolled down far enough to SEE that post, let alone select any text.
does your mouse doubleclick? mine does and it happens to me sometimes
Nope. This isn't the first time this has happened, either, but I've noticed it's stopped grabbing random words and symbols and has begun grabbing sentences instead.
Janny's hatred for XIV has manifested into a shitposting Primal.

Sexo
hot take. i would rather them give us 0 or 1 new jobs and do revamps of current classes. releasing Sage was a mistake with Astrologian being turned into 'white mage with lots of ogcds'
we also have jobs like white mage, bard, scholar, red mage which are getting button bloaty and haven't functionally changed in years. which i consider an indication of good design would rather see them put effort into putting love into the classes that need it, tweaking their design philosophy, ie reevaluating the 'utility tax' and 'ranged tax' than giving us blitzballer which will be super broken and then patched into a super good broken state
they are doing revamps
yes, but it won't be to the scale that's necessary, and adding more jobs will make it worse
thats actually a bit i left in accidentally as i had a bit about paladin and scholar having too many buttons but got rid of it. didn't do a good enough job editing
it's not a one or the other deal
i agree, its not strictly zero-sum like the 'if you want that it will cost you a raid tier', but resources do still have a limit and their priorities are skewed away from quality to novelty because of the demands of their audience
>whm
>bard
>button bloaty
homie what, i think even fricking warrior has more buttons to press than bard.
Thats really not that hot of a take. The jobs are so similar these days that we really don't need new ones.
I do not want another tank if they cant be asked to give us more with the ones we currently have.
All of them just play like WAR with different levels of buttons they need to press. Its boring.
Similar but not exactly the same line of thought
They just need to stop changing the jobs because they feel obligated
If a job already feels good, it doesn't need stuff slapped on top of it because an expansion is releasing
They should stop adding things to job and refine them, THEN they can add more jobs alongside the ones we have that are perfected
A fine example is them adding a third powder gauge charge to GNB, why?
The areas they need to fix jobs is lv1-60, not lv90-100
I concur, the jobs need to get some love from 1-60
MNK turned out well and now it's a steady climb up with leveling and job abilities/traits
The problem is that they slapped things onto jobs because they needed to fill a quota of job ability/trait additions for the expansion
Sometimes you don't need to fix what wasn't broken
>DRG gets a second life surge and spineshatter dive
>GNB gets another powder charge
>DRK gets """enhanced unmend"""
You could summarize Endwalker DRK with the phrase "we didnt feel like trying, so have 2 of em"
>TWO Living Shadow Traits
>TWO charges of Shadow Bringer
>TWO charges of Oblation
>TWO salted Earths
and Enhanced unmend is the cherry on top.
Guarantee you 7.0 adds "Enhanced Living Shadow III"
>Dancer's biggest gimmick isn't even available before 60
Dance partner should at least be a level 50 option, it's crazy.
Viera
Dancer
Another Viera Dancer here, and the job feels like they really only thought about how it plays at 70+.
RPR feels like it wasn't designed to be played until lv 80.
Its not something they even think about with new jobs.
At 60 it's at least functional, but prior to that it feels like a basic 1-2 ranged dps with nothing going on
But yeah, 70 and 80 change the flow a lot and even 80 content gets annoying because I keep trying to fan dance IV.
70 to 80 feels fine enough, but I also only got to 80 on it today and haven't had much time with enshroud yet to see how i feel about it.

The first trash pack of AMR is the most ballbusting piece of content I've ever seen in this game.
Stop reworking jobs. Just add more passive traits for stat boosts. Jobs were perfect at 60 and should have been left alone after. I fear for what things will be like at level 100. Part of me wishes they just left it at 50 and just kept increasing ilvl

Just completely finished ARR and I thought the bedroom summons was going somewhere else.
Damn this shit is getting good.
How much you liked ARR is a good indicator for how much you'll like the rest of the game.
They spruced up ARR a lot by adding some really cool moments and by fixing some dungeons, so some people shit on it because they played it how it was but I think it's better now.
They should probly make the trials more fun to do though like Thornmarch but overall they did a great job cleaning it up.
they did change thornmarch
I meant update the other trials like they did with thornmarch
I hope you weren't expecting something indecent.
