>It's alright not to play it everyday. Since it's just a game, you can stop forcing yourself if it's hard on you to keep that up. Rather, it'll just pile up unnecessary stress if you limit yourself into playing just that one game since there are so many other games out there. So, do come back and play it to your heart's content when the major patch kicks in, then stop it to play other games before you got burnt out, and then come back for another major patch. This will actually make me happier, and in the end, I think this is the best solution I can answer for keeping your motivation up for the game.

I have to log on for my island though
No you don't.
Transfer to Excalibur and join my FC.
I'm already somewhere on Primal. Why should I join your FC?
Hopefully you'll make lots of friends! Everyone in the FC is super kind, we do movie nights every week and play stuff together out of game semi regularly. It's also a Ganker only FC, but everyone's very friendly.
this is that fricking hime cat
Yes, hello!
Stay away from ultros
Why, what's on Ultros?
its the reddit server. its also the Ganker server
going wall to wall means your healer can't dps until dusk vigil. its especially dangerous in brayflox, qarn, cutters, stone vigil and AV
Maybe back in ARR but I'm pretty sure ZR is dead.
>ZR dead
Huh?
Fair, haven't seen anyone from it in a long time. I guess most of them keep to themselves?
Have you been to their fc house?
Can’t believe ZR is dead. It’s not
Plus if you get a dragoon you or a early monk you can’t even aoe
Excalibur is so fricking boring.
Not that there's any other world in NA that doesn't range from abhorrent to boring.
I met some of the most disgusting women and men on Excalibur though.
Fricking simps and prostitutes everywhere.
Ultros fricking takes the cake though.
The ones who are terminally online and think their character in game somehow replace their repulsive real world image.
Is JP really as comfy as people say? Not that I'm interested in Raiding either though. Actually why the frick do people still play this game?
I thought Island Sanctuary was going to slap but after getting all creatures and their rare variants and maxing everything out and buying the mounts I kind of looked at it and realized it lacks depth.
Man...
You know what frick this game honestly.
There's so much better shit to play.
If they didn't charge a fricking subscription then I'd be okay with this kind of lazy as frick development, but I can't justify coughing money at this dogshit when all you get is this shit.
>SE
I should have known better, honestly.
I haven't played PvP since June, have they added a battle pass with actually good cosmetics? Has the balance been improved? No, still the same old shit for almost 6 months, not even 1 new map. Suck my ass yoshi
more houses for me LMAO FRICKING HOUSELETS
not anymore. housing demolition has been disabled for most of the past two years. they're looking for reasons to keep it turned off at this point.
>It's alright not to play it everyday. Since it's just a game, you can stop forcing yourself if it's hard on you to keep that up.
Tell that to game devs who have psychologists on their payroll trying to manipulating people for the sake of optimising engagement.
>falling for MMO "you gotta come back every day" shit
lol
lmao even
any game that forces me to play it regularly to "stay ahead of the curve" is a game I don't give a shit about
>You don't have to play every day!
>But also dailies are the only good source of exp for alt jobs
>But also Beast Tribe dailies
>But also there's a weekly cap on currency for actually good gear
>But also island sanctuary
>But also your house is gone if you don't log in
That stuff is only there if you want to grind. The core game (MSQ) is designed for you to take at your own pace and leave the game when you're done.
>The core game (MSQ)
So the primary gameplay is supposed to be badly written VN but you have to walk and do a short instanced content occasionally (doesn't even have to be with players)?
Why are they charging monthly on top of paid expansions and microtransactions then?
Where does the sub money go?
>badly written VN
Frick off. XIV is easily the best written RPG out there, if not video game in general.
>video game
>good writing
In this case you pick both.
>XIV is easily the best written RPG out there, if not video game in general.
Jesus Christ anon, I unironically love XIV’s story but even I’m not this clinically moronic
Name some games you feel are better written.
>XIV is easily the best written RPG out there, if not video game in general.
You are based beyond belief and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Uh oh, all of the angry English Lit majors with their Ulysses's and their Homer's Odyssey's are crawling out of Ganker to dunk on you!
>Where does the sub money go?
Play xiv all throughout then go play literally any other MMO and you will see. I don't want to shill for SE and yoshi-piss but it's not even close how big budget this game is compared to anything else on the market. Now you may not agree with the core gameplay elements of it but that's besides the point.
I mean just look at the amount of text/dubbing the game has. Most MMOs only have one or two dubs for English and China. FFXIV has 6 different langues.
I wish the money went into the game and not voice actors. Damn thing is still held back by ps3's with loading screens and invisible walls everywhere
At this point, I'm just waiting for another FF MMO. Part of me is excited to see what Yoshida's team will down with an engine built for it, but I also feel like his luck with 14 might not carry over to everything else.
>how big budget this game is
*character turns in place*
*stops for 2 seconds*
*uses generic emote*
*turns back to original facing*
*stops for 2 seconds*
is this where all the budget goes?
*nods*
*punches fist into palm*
But they are getting better so I give them that.
XIV's budget gets yanked out and thrown into a furnace for all the failed remakes and remasters. It also is used to fund the moronic CEO's and Board of director's blunders and flops.
Just look at what SE has been making for the past 20 years.
Dogshit.
Pure fricking shame.
But they're shameless.
XIV is only keeping SE alive because of how many fantasias and subscriptions are constantly going into the XIV machine.
The funny part is that most of the revenue doesn't ever make it back into the game.
They have essentially created a paypig machine.
And it isn't even P2W. It's more of a cult than a community if you think about it.
Seriously, this shit is fricking crazy.
Not in a good way.
I wouldn't recommend this fricking game to any of my friends.
Too much disappointment and there's nowhere near enough reward for putting effort into it.
They have absolutely no fricking respect for the players at all.
They timegate content to make up for the fact that every piece of the game is completely contained and cut off from the mainline quests.
You want to have the best raiding gear?
Have fun waiting every week to get the raid gear!
No excuse for this kind of blatant bullshit.
Is this pasta?
Yeah you tell yourself that you fricking cultist homosexual.
Guessing it’s pasta then
no just barry
What timegating?
You don't NEED to do all that shit tho. There is no FOMO, because those things will always be available. I've been playing this game since day 1 launch and only have 2 jobs above 80, one of which is my main. Only done one beast tribe (moogles for the mount), tomes take 2 hours to cap and only worth doing during active raid tier, island sanctuary lmao just go play stardew valley. Fair on the house shit, but tbh auto demolition have been disabled for years now so it doesnt even matter atm.
I basically just log in to raid or idle and that's it. This game is literally anti FOMO.
There is one thing, PVP rewards
That's true, but at least you have months to earn them and it's an easy grind.
PvP is fun, just be a black mage and kill everyone
I still don't get BLM pvp, someone said to put a Fire/Ice stack on a target, then Paradox, then Superflare, but its like tickling the target
Just have to make sure to know when to cc folks, sleep and burst can easily hit a ton on people
They got balls to say that while having their game on subscription.
It's not balls. It's called not being a soulless husk.
>Frontlines or CC
>Team or alliances are primarily caster and ranged
>Lose
Why is it like that?
I unsubbed after I finished the 6.1 MSQ. Is it worth subbing for 6.2 to do MSQ/duty roulettes/side quests rn or should I wait til the next major update?
wait until 7.0.
It's been a nice patch so far, Abyssos exposed the healers like the shitters they are, the trial was great and we should be getting more Hildy along with the relic and the dungeon in a few weeks
Wait for 6.25 which includes Hildi, relic weapons, criterion dungeons and gatherer tribe quest.
Wait for 6.25 atleast. The personal island stuff is extremely barebones ATM so it's not worth resubbing until they add Criterion Dungeons and the artifacts
Subbing for MSQ and duty roulettes? nope, unless you are interested in the island farm, all msq content and sidequests can be done in a day without rushing and this month they are going to add a new dungeon with different paths and the first quests of the new relic weapons but those are one day content too
I will wait until December with the next major update
I'm waiting for ASS Savage so I can get the rat, missing the chest and a few pieces from p5 but I should be good
What the frick is that. The new dungeon stuff?
That would be my guess
>Play everyday
>do roulett everyday
>ERP every day
>Hate yoshi-P
THAT SIMPLE. Not going let a JP fricking dev tell me how to play ffxiv. Also 1.0 was good
Are we going to have a halloween event this month? because well we already had one in January
Will the next crafted sets look anywhere near as good as Rinscita?
who is the cutie on the left?
frequent mating with G'raha Tia
who is the artist homosexual
No idea, saved it from Ganker. Also malera are beautiful precious treasures who must be protected and nurtured.
>start leveling healers last week
>blacklist has grown from just 2 players in the last 2 years to over 10 since just last week
What the frick? Have duty finder tanks always been this bad?
What are they doing wrong?
Small pulls?
Not using mitigation?
Don't know the mechanics?
Big pulls, not knowing dungeon mechanics, and poor use of mit. Even after explaining after wipes they do the same stuff over again. I'd rather eat the 30 min penalty and just leave. 30 minutes of peace doing literally anything else is better than 30 minutes of me raging since I have anger issues. Easy choice for me. They can wait on another healer. It's better for both of us.
I should clarify that I'm fine with big pulls, but you should know how to use your mits and also know where not to stand so you don't get hit by dungeon mechanics. This mainly seems to be an issue in ARR dungeons, so once I finally get my last healer above 50, I probably won't have this issue anymore. All the dungeons after have walls after 2 packs or so.
At lower levels healers don’t have all their tools so some times you don’t want to w2w
You might be dealing with genuinely new people
Yeah and I can accept that, but these tanks were offensively bad. I've ran many dungeons with new tanks and they at least try to be good and are receptive to advice. The ones I've bailed on just don't learn wipe after wipe, even after multiple people tell them what's going wrong. One time I had tank get me killed by not taking aggro. I had to revive back at the start since no could revive me, but as I was running back, they went on to grab the next 2 packs of enemies and then wipe the rest of the party. I didn't bail on that, but I'm dealing with these kind of tanks here. This was in an sub lvl 50 ARR dungeon, so the tank couldn't keep themselves alive for that kind of pull without a healer.
Great. I joined this server back in 2020 when I started playing since my irl friend has a FC there, but the FC is just his static so I don't really do anything with them. When the new NA server opens up, I'm gonna jump ship to there and start semi fresh.
Just world travel to a different data center
Ah shit yeah I forgot that I can do that now. Thanks anon.
>Have duty finder tanks always been this bad?
what server are you on and yes.
a bad healer is way harder to deal with than a bad tank though
I'm on Aether and yes you are right. Having a bad healer as a tank and even as a DPS feels awful.
I feel like we'll get another FF14 1.0 with how SE is.
>Aether
all worst tanks i've ever experienced were on that server lmao. primal had moron tanks too but the floor is definitely lower on aether, or at least it was when baldmongold was playing.
>aether
You joined the e-celebrity sever so a ton of shitters are on there. Best to do content on primal
I don't see the point in even owning a house outside of being an FC leader.
i like having an apartment so i can quick tp and then go to a market board with not many people around it.
most of the small houses I've seen aren't that close to a market board, meanwhile Medium/FC houses can be as close as right next to where you spawn in
Yes, that’s why I unsubbed to XIV and subbed to a MMO that actually rewards me for playing instead.
Sex with Lalafells
Going to try P8S in pf, what am I in for?
dps not using feint/addle and then kicking the healer.
I saw G'raha so I post in thread
Cute dwarf though
>nobody doing Lv90 rolo
PLEASE
I STILL NEED CAPPED
AAAAAAAAAAAA NEXT TIME I'M GRINDING HUNT TRAINS UNTIL I MAX OUT STILL ON RESET DAY
I can run them with you if you'd like.
BRD is not fun, at all
well it is the de facto class played by RMT bots and Savage/Ultimate hackers
It's the only fun job because they gaymogenized everything
