Funny how on the Game Awards/AGDQ you see the banner for this shitty game non stop because they have to shill out for marketing to get anybody to notice it exists kekw
Only mentally ill subhumans play MMOs in 2023
The same could be said of all video games.

Thanks and cya next thread
instant portraits are designed on a per-job per-glam basis, adventurer plates are one png for each player. instant portaits being pngs for each player suddenly balloons the storage requrement for each user 20x. they're not interested in doing that.
>adventurer plates are one png for each player
>instant portaits being pngs for each player
You know you're a moronic if you unironically think portraits are PNGs. Portraits only save camera position, pose, gear etc which likely only amount to a few kb for the entire thing because it's just a line of code.
anon, read what he wrote again
Okay good. But why the frick would it bloat when all you have to do is just disable the gear check? Like literally make it so that instant portrait doesn't save your gear and appearance, only shit like emote/lighting/pose/frames. JUST FRICKING DISABLE THE GEAR CHECK YOU moronS.
>"well uhh you can like chop wood, feed animals, earn fake currency, level up your island to uhh get a bike at level 10..."
Not even, most of my shit is automated and it was made easier with a Collect All button

MotherFRICKERS I'm paying you crownies DAILY and you aren't even giving me exp? Piss and shite.
How do you collect all? I still had to manually water plants and gather droppings
Level up your island, buy the expansions to your crops, eventually the Mammet will offer you the option to pay a meager amount of Cowries for automation
Same goes for animals
How is Ganker going to react when the graphics revamp is completely underwhelming?
Like now. They will call everyone barry and overdose on HRT
Is this the new doomer post topic? Always trying to generate dissatisfaction with some future event.
>he still believes this dev team is capable of providing beyond the bare minimum
this is your first expansion, I assume.
I simply don't care about the graphics. You have fun with that.
Basically. I've seen a lot of anons calling for an engine scrap when that wouldn't change anything really. Older mmos have fixed issues with their backend same as this game fixing legacy issues with it's.
/thread
There are legitimate things to criticize but Gankereddit is more about (you) farming than actual discussion, or Barry having a melty.
Eh. Tbqh literally the only thing I'm hoping for is a slightly better lightning engine so it doesn't look like Y'shtola is trying to tell horror stories in any indoor locations we go to, and that the textures between different gear sets stop clashing so fricking bad.
Same. Also the extreme shadows, in Black Shroud especially, during night where I need to crank the brightness up to like 80+ if I spend extended periods there.
It's 100% going to be not what everyone thinks. Remember island sanctuary? Yeah exactly like that.
I still remember everyone shilling the troony sanctuary and it ended up being non customizable click the sparkles and navigate clunky menus simulator.
Mind numbingly boring and shit
Not even 6.3 flopping will wake these trannies up or make them stop worshipping SE. Its terminal
Criterion was a bigger flop than sanctuary.
>made almost exclusively for raiders

>even if there were rewards beyond cosmetic stuff none of these people would need it because they're already best in slot

What were they THINKING?!
It should have been an alternative to savage raids either giving slightly worse gear or share a lockout with it
>share lockout
No, absolutely not.
Frick off
If it isn't, it'll just be uncanny valley.
I mean the characters are going to be remodeled but a lot of people actually think the most lazy dev team in the whole history is going to update the textures on the armors and overworld are just going to be disappointed.
They've literally showed screenshots of both so are you just being obtuse
Thats just a shader. I dont think you understand what an actual graphics overhaul means. The textures in this game are still lowrez and look like shit
How are you literally so wrong as frick.
They SAID when they explained in pretty good detail about this that:
>The characters will NOT be remodeled.
>The textures on gear WILL be updated and it will be a gradual process that they have actually already started
Shut up moron
>and it will be a gradual process that they have actually already started
Good. It's even better that they don't give a deadline for this. I guess we can see it completed on 9.0
Thank you Yoshi P.
Yeah, this is just upscaling the character textures a but and making the skin shiny. It'd be nice if they used the same environment map for both screenshots though, grey space isn't going to give as good shading as an actual HDRI.
it doesn't matter how good or bad the graphical revamp is going to be. they will b***h no matter what. because they WANT to b***h. even if it was immaculate, perfect, photorealism that could run on a calculator they'd ignore it, find something else to b***h about or (and read this carefully) pretend to not like it just to get a rise out of people.
I just want them to fix the shitty texture and shadow resolution along with fixing the shitty aliasing that always manages to make the game look like it's running at 480p no matter what resolution you are actually running the game at. Anything ontop of this is just a bonus IMO
Didn't we already get screenshots? It's adding some extra props to some locations, changing the lighting in some duties, and making skin glossier.
That screenshot was about a month of work
The vast majority of which was spent on the default male Hyur, too, since the derplander face patterned after the character from trailers had basically nothing touched on it.
I just hope they add anti cheat so all the modding and datamining morons can get banned
>no plugin
>get spammed with RMT shit
>GCD's feel like mush
>basic QoL that the devs are too incompetent to implement are gone
lol no thanks
sounds like you have a brain rot
I don't know what kind of sorcery XIVAlexander and Noclippy does but SE need to implement it.
>inb4 that's cheating
Even the creators say people with decent ping play like this. You can cheat with it if you touch the settings already preset in the plugin but your parse won't be upload it even if you try.
>I don't know what kind of sorcery XIVAlexander and Noclippy does but SE need to implement it.
The game has a really, really basic check against desync/speedhacking where when you perform an action, your game tells the server you performed the action, then the server replies that it's okay for that action to go through
The problem is that the reply from the server actually resets the timer on your animation lock so the delay between being allowed to press buttons is actually the regular time (about 0.3 seconds iirc) plus TWICE your latency.
Alexander/Noclippy skips spoofs it so the animation lock timer doesn't get reset when the reply comes in, so it's basically the same as playing from the server room until you drop a packet somewhere and the game freaks out trying to sync you back up.
It's also the other shit that comes with it. Want to search for an item but you don't have it? Well frick you b***h better use plugins to do that. Want to try on a gear you found on someone? How about we copy the gear it was glammed on instead LMAO. I also do housing shit too and without BDTH trying to place anything is just pain.
This. If you wanna ban extremely moronic shit like parsing, cactbot and coomer mods fine. But leave useful stuff like XIValexander because it legitmately is just the same thing as living next to servers (which would require you to move to modern day sodom and gomorrah "california")
I hope they never add it because seeing parse trannies seethe at having their 100 parses stolen by botters is like fine wine
all parse trannies would get banned too
Where would I get my fricking entertainment from then? Definitely not from the game
get banned and go back to wow
Wowgays aren't nearly as entertaining
Japan begged for it every EW patch and YoshiP continues to tell them no. NA became so obsessed with mods and plugins that YoshiP can't do anything about it without losing the whole region overnight. The game is fricked.

>outlier becomes more normal as time passes

No half-measures, waltuh.
The fricking website might as well be from 2002, they can’t change shit
>Japan begged for it every EW patch and YoshiP continues to tell them no
no they don't
But the graphics revamp on the new gear has been great though, comparing the new PVP AF gear to the HW/SB equivalents and there's a massive difference.
It is. But is laughable that people actually think the dev team will update the textures in old stuff.
Haven't they already said they're going to go back and tweak older NPCs. I mean you can choose to not believe them sure, but like don't act as if they haven't mentioned it.
they've already done it.
one that's really blatant to me is Nero's armor in praetorium.
as long as it fixes the stupid fricking smooth faces and has some better shadows I don't care.
its mainly the textures. does anyone have the image of crystal g'raha or estinien on the floor with ps1 textures?
The character/armor textures being so bad confuses me
A lot of the new armor since Shadowbringers looks fine but then you have the Jpeg Exarch
Hien's clothes also looked really bad compared to most of the unique NPCs
How do I remove malarias from the game?

How good of a gpu will I need for this, because I'm currently on a 6950xt? 🙁
FFXIV is more demanding on the CPU side. The game will run like shit either way because it's poorly optimized.
Do you think my 5800X3D will be fine?
>will my best gaming cpu for unoptimized games be fine
Yes
I just hope the graphics update won't tank my fps, because I was planning to switch to 4k/144hz eventually for FFXIV.
The real spectacle will be the seething when literally every graphical mod with break for weeks since they'll need to be updated for a new pipeline or better yet, they substantially change the framework.
>Graphics revamp
If it's anything like with how Blizzard revamped female worgen to be more like actual werewolves instead of feral anthromorphic chihuahuas, I'm all for it.
I can't imagine it not breaking cutscenes though, so it's definitely going to be a double-edged sword.
Apologize.

>dooood tiptoe past these dragons constantly to get anywhere

XIV's modern playerbase absolutely does not care for map design or having good zones. Yoshida managed to get himself a playerbase that unironically looks at Lakeland and goes OMG THIS GAME IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
As opposed to "ironically" mewling about the dimwitted players all day on Ganker I guess
A frick ton of QoL is missing from Eureka that makes it hard to appreciate any of its zones.
Going through Eureka felt like work meanwhile Bozja felt like a playground.
so onboard a couple of genius engineers from outside the company, walk them through the code leviathan for about a year, and then ask them to optimize arigato gozamaisu.
>genius engineers from outside the company
They don't have those in Japanese vidya industry. They're notoriously shit at netcode, ironically because Japan has much less ping issues so for most purposes they do'nt even need to bother being optimal.
>I can't raid without plugins

No one NEEDS ACT to raid, it's mainly dalamud stuff and alejandro
I did past tier just fine with act triggers alone. Also xivalex has been updated since day one. What do plogons do people even need?
Last time I checked it was still broken.
Also, it's impossible to raid from some countries without alejandro/noclip.

Yoshi piss finally catching up to body/hair mods we had 5 years ago. Console parity is a fricking mistake
Console parity isn't even the problem. The developers just have the game on autopilot and barely give a shit. The average Endwalker zone looks like complete shit and has no level design because they know the playerbase will praise it and post "omg this game is so beautiful" on reddit even though it looks worse than Xenoblade Definitive Edition on the fricking Switch.
that was the beta lalafell
this is the final result of the graphics change.
I want to pick her up by her ears and feed her to a morbol
The entire fanbase is to blame for mindlessly praising YoshiP for whatever shit he copies from other games while also implementing awful systems. Just look at the adventurer plates and island sanctuary, borderline shit game mechanics that would have been laughed at in any other game but in XIV it's okay because YoshiP saved the game and cried at the release of 2.0
People unironically fell for his PR tricks even though he's repeatedly lied in live letters while cutting content from the game. The playerbase of this game is genuinely moronic.
Blame wowtroons and shadowbabs. Everyone hated Yoshida and knew he was a liar in HW and especially SB. Then here comes wow players trying out SHB and DID YOU KNOW XIV HAS A FREE TRIAL UP TO LEVEL 60 bullshit and praising Yoshida for "getting it" when it comes to game design.
I kinda miss how much more cynical the playerbase was during HW to be honest. Sometimes it veered into hysterical whining (which it still does) but it felt like people knew better than to blindly praise the developers for providing nothing beyond the bare minimum for a MMORPG. People wanted the game to get better and achieve its potential, while the Shadowbaby playerbase simply wants to feel validated for sinking their time into a MMO, and takes any criticism of the game's many failings (many of which go back to ARR) as a personal attack.
>HW chads succesfully bullied Yoshitpiss into redesigning PLD in Stormblood and actually giving it class identity for once.
>Shadowbabs bully Yoshitpiss into homogenizing every job and making every class have 100% uptime in every fight with raid buffs on the same timer, aswell as remove almost all proc mechanics just so they can always do the same dummy rotation in every pull.
I guess the latter buy much cash shop garbage so their voice matters more.
Wowfugees (which comprise a sizable amount of SBabs) have battered wife syndrome, after getting abused for the better part of a decade they latched onto the first game that doesn't treat them like absolute shit and treat it as the second coming of Christ that can do no wrong because they have no other perspective
Jesus christ its so accurate. We had a wowfugee in our FV since late SHB and he's been on XIV alalmost nonstop since and praising Yoshida for everything. At this point I think he's just doing it to deprive Blizzard of sub money more than he enjoys the game.
I saw some of these people act like the devs going back and adding swimming to a single ARR zone this patch was this like, unparalleled crazy act of devotion on the part of the developers, not even asking the question of why is swimming so restricted in the game to begin with.
Yeah, this was the weird one. If a dev goes out if their way to do shit without being instructed to by one of their higher ups, as was said by Yoshida, then it most likely was incredibly trivial to do. I wouldn't be surprised if it took only an afternoon.
Yeah, it's like people forgot Yoshida said Ala Mhigo would not be just a dungeon or that Eureka would be a wholly unique experience to the MMO genre. Hell, even the people who complain about content delays and spacing forget Eureka was supposed to release in 4.1. I'm almost certain 80-90% of the XIV playerbase started in SHB at this point.
I feel like despite everything, at least the content wasn't as trash as what we're getting today.
That's a big factor as well, SB was casualized with job gauges and certain job changes that weren't appreciated like DA spam, but because a lot of the ARR core was still present, it ultimately didn't change too much. Now all that has been stripped away, either intentionally or unintentionally.
>I'm almost certain 80-90% of the XIV playerbase started in SHB at this point.
Very likely. Practically my entire Heavensward cohort quit the game at some point in Shadowbringers, and the ones I keep in touch with have all said boring class design was a primary factor in them not having fun with the game anymore. I myself am unsubcribing until 7.0 after I grind this pvp armor. The game simply is not worth investing yourself into anymore.
Not even the roleplayers are sticking around since the quality of players that RP plummeted and the ERP/Social/Nightclub FCs became too many. It's such a shame.
>tfw been on Mateus since I started in mid HW
>tfw roleplayed as a major hobby but never did so in game until the modern AFK customer service simulators became all I've ever known

>Nooo when we had to burst at 90s instead of 120 it was so much more fuuun
>Noooo i WANT to destroy my combo if i miss my positional!
Boomer lmao
You're just outing yourself as a Shadowbaby who didn't play Heavensward with this post. Combos breaking if you missed a positional was a problem exclusively for Dragoon during ARR, and was fixed in patch 2.45, months before Heavensward came out.
Thinking that the only difference between combat then and combat now was the timing of raid buffs also shows you only started this game recently and that it makes you upset you missed out on the peak of its combat system. Sad.
>Shadowfetus wowscum pretending to know what Heavensward combat was like.

He's one of the available trusts so he's no longer there weakening Nidhogg with the eye. Also Hraesvelgr's arena in Sohr Khai is a single circular platform now.

i always used to /slap him when we entered the arena. RIP
Come on, it's more soulful now if you do it with duty support, they even changed the cutscene.
Ok but I don't give a frick because I finished HW 17 years ago and have only done the dungeon in DF ever since and they have made it more boring
That's not all, no more sleeping dragons, 2nd boss and Nidhogg fights were changed entirely. They are actually wasting development time on this shit no one will use.

>SB and HW were the ONLY good parts of the game!
>Anyone who says otherwise is a shadowbab!
It's like these people forgot just how fricking close the game came to dying in HW or how everyone shat on everything from the story to the Job design in SB. It's thanks to the new direction the game has taken (starting with SB ironically) that has made sure that the game is alive today.
with that said, the game has more or less stayed the same since ARR with the only difference being Job design, a more rigid design process for content and how much the devs are bending over backwards to please the shittiest of shitty players and the most autistic of poopsockers
People praising Stormblood are generally referring to the encounters, which by and large actually were good and had lots of novel ideas.
I still enjoy Byakko, even if his voice sometimes sounds more like a 12 year old trying to be serious
>tfw still don't know how to do Suzaku's birb mech
>still don't know how to do Suzaku's birb mech
anon....
I'm braindead I know.
Birb flies in a circle around area and makes contact with coloured orbs in sequence, which detonates the same respective colour on the arena.
SB's actual gameplay parts were superb.
>game came to dying in HW
3.1 was a bad time for the game but it was never "close to dying". You weren't playing back then and are solely reciting hearsay from other Ganker morons.
>everyone shat on everything from the story to the Job design in SB.
Yep, purely repeating what you heard from other people. "SB was le worst expansion" is shit you hear EXCLUSIVELY from people who care about nothing besides the MSQ.
Game was down below 500k subs around that time. If that's not "close to dying" I dunno what is.
The norm for most ARR patches was around 400k active players as measured by LuckyBancho, actually lower than Heavensward. This is how I know you weren't playing back then. FFXIV was a niche game for most of its early history and only began growing with Stormblood (which nearly doubled the playerbase), which is also coincidentally when 1) SE began actually advertising the fricking game and 2) WoW BfA came out and that game started shitting the bed. The low population of Heavensward wasn't the game nearly collapsing, it was simply growing too little from ARR.
HW unironically killed both the FC I was in and turned the server I was on into a ghost town at the time (forgot which since I lost my old account).
No one liked grinding RNG BiS gear and the "frick you" in terms of raid design along with some shitty job design decisions made raiding unbearable for so many people that barely anyone bothered to do it
3.0-3.1 were a terrible time and completely killed the momentum the game had started gaining near the end of ARR. The playerbase barely grew during HW and started concentrating itself heavily on megaservers like Gilgamesh to raid (no cross-server raiding back then). The game didn't come close to dying though, to say so is a huge exaggeration.
SB's job design is where a lot of things peaked and it was generally a good compromise between HW's obtuseness and how dumbed down shit is now. The only job that was in a genuinely bad spot was WHM, while MNK and MCH were more contentious.
People called SB job design lazy because all it did was attach a gauge to things you already did or as a more convenient way to monitor an uptime buff. SAM and RDM were considered well designed at the time because, surprise, they were designed with a gauge in mind. Also cross-class was now a pool of selectable actions instead of actual cross-class. Hardly a sin compared to job changes in SHB onward.
ShBs only contribution to SB job design was actually making more actions use the god damned resource bars, they fricked up while doing so on some jobs, but the gameplay didn't radically change until the shitty 2min buff bullshit we have today.
What ShB DID frick up in terms of job design was removing any semblance of mechanical depth from tanks and healers, something they will probably never fix since their goal was to increase participation in those 2 roles gameplay be damned and it worked
SHB radically changed a ton of jobs for the worse, not just the core of tanks and healers.
Not really, they merged a few abilities, removed every abillity that handles TP and enmity management and removed TP but that was it. Tank actions were mostly untouched but they gutted enmity generation out of all of them and removed 1-2 actions that were part of their old enmity rotations. Healers were (arguably) the ones that were hit the hardest with the pruning hammers since the DPS actions they got to keep in SB were now pretty much outright removed while all damage in the game were made more predictable and lessened in any content that was considered "normal" difficulty
Nobody will ever elaborate on this point after they make it because you're just parroting shit you read on Ganker and convinced yourself is correct to sound super jaded and cool.
Shadowbringers turned Samurai into a moronic looping class that has to throw away resources to maintain alignment, reduced the damage of Bard's dots to the point it became pointless to ever think of snapshotting them, kneecapped Ninja's APM, turned Monk into a wretched mess for most of the expansion with ridiculous shit like fishing for anatman ticks, and probably other things I can't currently remember.
>kneecapped Ninja's APM
More like the Damage Per Action
Turned MCH into drill mage.

OHNONONO HE ASKED THE THING
1-4 panaæmonium or 5-8? couple new trials that were pretty ok, couple new dungeons that were boring, the heavensturn armor is fricking awesome and is frankly the only reason I resubbed but also I play SAM and it only really works for SAM or maybe DRG depending on what pieces you use
Only for PVP
this literally never fricking happens and even when you apply the debuff you get stun chained out of meikyo or the server takes so long registering your LB on 5+ targets that the debuff runs out

Female WoL is canon because a) female Azem is my waifu, b) it's your sacred duty to keep eorzean male population heterosexual.
>tarnishing your brotherhood with Alphinaud and Ardbert
>being a selfcest gay
Disgusting an non-cannon
Juan how's your "brotherhood" with Zenos doing?
He's not my brother. He's my friend... my enemy...
Zenos' obsession with the WoL also makes no sense if he was a woman.
Top jej, homosexual hands typed this post
>t. adventurer buddy of my (cannon) WoL that I summon for bosses sometimes
This is assuredly bait, but
Every single scene with Zenos just reinforces the idea that he cares for absolutley nothing except feeling the thrill of a good battle
Do you have any argument whatsoever as to why he would care whether his opponent is male or female, as long as they give him that fight he craves
Because a female would be inherently weaker than him, and thus unable to give him the fight he craves. It's why he immediately disregards Lyse and Yugiri
>Because a female would be inherently weaker
Is this at any point in the game alluded to being the case among the species of Eitherys? I've wondered about it beacuse males are generally more muscular but have never seen anything else that would imply it, and we know that life does not work there as it does irl
>thus unable to give him the fight he craves
He does not just want a comparison of strength as in generated force, then he might as well go taunt a dragon or something
He wants a clash of wills and ideas as well, to not speak of the personal acceptance and validation
Patrician taste, king.

The FFXIV main story also has extremely sporadic combat and is comprised almost exclusively of exposition cutscenes. People who say "it's le ff first le mmo second" have never played a single player final fantasy, or played one so long ago they didn't realize you actually fought shit between cutscenes in those games.
There's more mandatory combat in ff arr than there is in any previous installment
MMO combat is not the same as normal FF combat. It wasn't the same in XI either.
But 14 is trying to be an FF game. And is it any different than combat systems changing over the iterarions?
It's failing at it and yes it is massively different.
Frick straight off into dungeons and raids without doing awful "go to this area and kill 5 monsters plz" quests for 50 hours.
Do you want pre 10 era random encounters in an mmo?
If it means I get the structure of an actual FF game in a game that's supposed to be an MMO second, frick yes I do. And as someone who's played a recreation of FF4 that was turned into an MMO on BYOND, it was way more fun than normal MMO horseshit.
How would that work in ff14?
what mmo lets you frick off straight into dungeons and raids without any of the story or quests?
Nobody is stopping you from killing whatever you want to kill anon, are you autistic?
Why is alphinaud such a bawd
His mom
That's not alphina-
>the hair tie
oh god
I mean, do you want random encounters every minute as you move between text box dialogues and FMV cutscenes?
>Get called the "Warrior of Light"
>Barely ever fight shit
>Most of my time is spent talking to people who tell me to talk to other people
literally busywork simulator
That's dumb. No one wants to just fight shit. That's one of the annoying things in FF13. All you did was fight shit between cutscenes.
>pressured my resources while requiring me to pay some attention
That's silly, anon. Not only were you very young and dumb, but games were built back then to sell you guides. It was literally artificial difficulty. Now, if you want difficulty, you can buy a boost, get to endgame, farm savage raids for BiS gear, find an ultimate static and prog that.
Literally and unironically git fricking gud.
>Now, if you want difficulty, you can buy a boost,
Ah yes, pay a company money to make them stop fricking me in the ass for trying to play their game. That is a rational decision and does not communicate the exact opposite of what I want to tell them.
It's not hard to git gud at old Final Fantasy games when the only ones that actually stretch your resources as described are FF1, FF3, and that Holy/Meteor party split segment of FF5
FF4 did it too when you weren't playing the babby mode versions. You're also assuming that I don't think the series went to shit when it veered away from that.
That's why I brought up official guides like this one that's 244 pages long. You know, before the time when the internet could answer almost any question. Guides you had to pay extra for so that they could milk more money out of your parents wallets.
But you are right that they're also fricking you in the ass now, especially if you don't like the game. The message you want to send them is to stop playing or to unsub. That'll show them. Then go to spend your time at a F2P game like Genshin Impact that gives you more bang for your buck by never having to spend a dime.
You could sweep straight through any FF with no trouble with or without the guide, though. If anything, the most guide-heavy FF in existence was XI. The thing with old game guides is that older RPGs usually had arcane bullshit you had no way of figuring out without it.
So long as those random encounters actually fricking did what they did in early FFs and pressured my resources while requiring me to pay some attention, yes.
What do you think the black circles and dungeon trash is supposed to represent?
Not that, that's for sure.
So you have an issue with the relatively fast recovery rate ooc, not how combat is paced out?
Way more than that. I have a problem with how the combat plays out, how resource management only matters in serious fights and not over the course of exploration or a dungeon, and how the flow of a normal FF game completely differs from XIV's. And XI's, but XI didn't have quests as the bedrock for your progression, it had grinding and that was even worse.
Your complaint is that I don't need to pop a tent at a save point in sastasha?
On top of everything else. But you don't understand because you're not willing to understand.
I understand that you want dungeons to be more like older FFs dungeons in that you want the challenge to be one of endurance and preparation with the boss being the test of combat. But that isn't how it is in ff14 as you regen to full resources after each pull
And that's why XIV is not an FF first and an MMO second.
Nobody telling you "FF first" actually meant it was an SNES RPG first, they meant it was a Final Fantasy game in an MMO format first. This isn't surprising if you've played FF12.
>they meant it was a Final Fantasy game in an MMO format first
Yeah, and the parts of the MMO format that conflict with FF take precedence. That's why it's a deeply fricking stupid thing to say.
>This isn't surprising if you've played FF12.
XII is more of an RTwP RPG that took from XI and got completely fricked up by development woes. I'm not that fond of it either, but at least it had the flow of a normal FF down.
>Yeah, and the parts of the MMO format that conflict with FF take precedence. That's why it's a deeply fricking stupid thing to say.
This strikes me more as you took it differently than was intended and blamed the sentiment.
That's because you don't pay attention to when people say that.
>no u!!!
Come on, man.
You come on.
>I don't like MMOs
>XIV is an FF first and an MMO second, trust me bro, you'll like it!
>play it and don't like it because there is way too much MMO cancer in it
Fair enough. But the msq is largely a solo experience which is what I think Jesse means buy rpg first
What a stupid statement when pic related exists.
XI is ALSO an MMO first and an FF second. It's just based on a different model of MMO than XIV.
It's equally both.
Name one other FF that punches you in the dick and tells you progression is you mindlessly grinding mobs for months.
FFXI doesn't do that though, so your argument is already in bad faith.
It literally did exactly that. Did you play a different XI than I did?
Did you play lv75 ERA while in college so you could only grind 2 hours a week?
Because only then you'd be forced to "grind" for months to progress. Literally me
I did though, I played on release and suffered through Playonline being shit. It took forever to level and I hated it for the exact same reason I hated Everquest.
You didn't play the game anon, if you did you'd know the games progression isn't mindlessly grinding to max level. The game was carefully constructed to have content to do at all levels and it never forced you to do anything, leveling itself was hanging out in a party and enjoying the community aspect.
Take your shit arguments to another thread.
Literally no one played FFXI.
It had a decent player count prior to wow. Never as much as XIV in the west tho
Models touching each other and not cutting out before the punch has landed? Nah frick that too much work for Yoshi P team.
what are you talking about we've literally seen this happen in this patch.
Post it. I'm sure it's just some shitty attack animation from a job that have existed before.
Zero and the memoriates fighting has their models animated the only thing is that the slash when the second sword wielder cuts her doesn't have the impact it should but it's not using stock animations at all.

>Shitposter is an XIgay
Bro Horizon opened like a couple days ago
But you are the shitposter anon, I'm the one who wishes we had bozja 2.0 instead of the island sanctuary.
I just wish island sanctuary lived up to all of our expectations.
What expectation? Were you one of the fools who gaslit themselves into thinking they were getting a private house?
I was expecting to get a fricking Islands.
not him but I think that the devs should've just told people that they want people to do island sanctuary while waiting for queues, these threads are getting moronic
NTA but I'm fine with it not being a house. What I'm not fine with is that it's SHIT CONTENT.
I wish we had Bozja as well but Island Sanctuary isn't worked on by those people at all. Their work is clearly going towards the Variant and Criterions which is why we have 3 this expansion. Two more scheduled for the upcoming patches.
And Variant/Criterion is content that is over in a week, I'd rather have a single bozjan zone than all 3 v/c and the island sanctuary.
>Literally ZERO rewards worth doing criterion for
Easily fixable it's not like it's one of the main complaints about it or whatever.
I'm not like you. Hanging out in a group does not make me enjoy something I strongly dislike doing. If anything it makes me want to do it even less.
Then congratulations MMOs aren't for you, or rather they weren't for you back then but they are today because MMOs have cut out as much actual MMO content as possible to cater to people like yourself.
Why? Because no one is allowed to like something that isn't pallatable to the NPC masses.
Everquest is not and never has been the entirety of MMOs. Shove it up your ass.
Can you spell out what the term MMORPG stands for
I don't know, but it sure doesn't stand for inflicting video game CBT on myself and lying to myself that I like it because at least I'm not doing it alone.
>
You were clearly playing the wrong game then, still XI did have a mainline Final Fantasy level story in every expansion, some better than others.
There's more to FF than story. You know that, right?
Cool ultimate attacks, yeah.
There are enemies in the field? And running from them, which you obviously do, is the same as running from a random encounter
It's not the cutscenes that kill me. I could take that, though they're bad too. What I can't stand is the combat being shitty when I'm not grouped up and being forced into doing very bad MMO quests or else I don't get to do anything interesting.
What do you want to do exactly?
Why fighting desing-wise alliance/extremes are 10x better than savages/ultimates? I can't pinpoint how....
This alliance series is fun thematically but it's fricking Void Ark tier when it comes to difficulty.
Yeah, no. If you dropped a Void Ark era alliance raid into Euphrosyne against Althyk/Nymeia or Halone they'd get rekt by the Pyretic cards and Halone's simon says AoE's alone.
They still get rekt, day one was fun.
>Moeshitter posting this after they released an alliance raid with dungeon-tier mechanics and the least original extreme trial ever.
Idiot.
And they're still better than the last 2 tiers of savage.
no they aren't
Extreme was the same exact shit as always and only thing a bit different in alliance raid from usual was sibling fight.
Savage is always the same shitty mechanics also. Why that shit get a pass?
Where did I say that it gets a pass? Savage has the same exact problem.
Not the best timing on saying that statment when 90% of the new Alliance Raid is dodge aoes.
Did you even play this patch?
It was super easy for me to quit this game despite playing it nonstop from mid shadowbringers to now.
Savage is pointless, clearing hardest content is o it way to get clear to..clear the same content
Money is pointless, almost entirely for cosmetics/collecting purposes
That’s everything honestly, if you don’t care about collecting minions, Triple Triad, or Mounts most of the content is unrewarding.
Gameplay isn’t great because average player is very casual. If they aren’t they are the worst king of autistic trans mentally ill tryhard. Very little people who play are normal in any sense.
I enjoyed the Ascian story, and it’s ending seems like a decent place to quit.
Most of the content in the game isn’t engaging, quit XIV, quit MMOs. Play fun games with a solid beginning middle and end. You will be happier. If you want a mindless grind go develop a real skill or work out.
good
hopefully more of you shadowbabs leave so we can have a good game again
frick off and never come back
Nice blog post.
How do I unsubscribe from your blog
>just quit
You can do both, XIV is developed so you don't have to grind savages all day and can actually play other games, you're not forced to raid or grind for the raid 24/7 like most MMOs.
Hell you are encouraged to unsub when you've had your fill and come back later.
You destroyed your own argument really. This is the only MMO that isn't a korean grind

Is the standalone tool broken? What about the python script? I'll try setting a VM up and see if the script works
Looks like the oodle workaround from past patch isn't able to properly analyze the ffxiv.exe file

It appears using the 6.2 ffxiv exe + making some code changes brings back xivalex for people using the python script rather than the exe file

Why do you homosexuals defend the lack of content in this game with "Huuuuuh just unsub Yoshi told you so!".

You're unironically the equivalent of WoW addicts who tell people "UM BRO DO YOU HAVE INVINCIBLE YET???" when people complain about content droughts.

>WHAT YOU WANT CONTENT??? HAHAHAH WHAT A RAT GET BACK IN YOUR MAZE
I literally feel sorry for anyone that gets brainwashed by Yoshi P.
show invincible and show logs right the frick now
Bro you don't get it, it's so liberating to pay money and log in to the game and realize there's nothing interesting to do because the only choices of content are:
>a) insane 500 hour grind that will give you mental disorders and is only done by the most deranged poopsockers alive
>b) content so easy you could do it on your phone, but also a lot of it can only be done once a week for some fricking reason.
so you want a difficult grind that isn't too difficult and can be done by everyone but also give the impression you're a nolifer?
I don't understand what exactly it is you want
That’s called engaging gameplay. Sometimes the game itself is supposed to be fun and not like a menial job where the reward is a digital hat that your dopamine starved brain determines as accomplishment.
Most people don’t play sports to win, they play sports because the game is fun, same for literally any game or hobby.
>he doesn't know about the challenging and interesting content that rank as some of the most meticulously designed encounters in MMO history that take about 50-100 hours each to finish
Wow you're moronic.
Why are you even trying to argue when you lack the brain to form proper arguments?
I love that no one can say what they want from the game, just mindless b***hposts like this. You realize the entire game since ARR has been the same right? Nearly the same patches, the same updates, the same 24 mans, the same 8 mans, etc.
If you want something that the game clearly doesn't provide, you should just quit because there's zero reason for them to ever deviate when the game keeps getting more popular and people keep playing.
I was fine with Bojza. It was the most fun i had in ShB appart from TEA but it is so fricking stupid to grind for a relic that has LITERALLY no use and it will get replaced by a green weapon in like a month when you get it. But now we're getting nothing, so it's even worse than before.
>your ranked CC?
Is this supposed to mean anything when there's no reward? The Feast gave top players the most unique mounts
Now you get an Adventurer Plate unlock and 10,000 useless currency

>Eureka

Having more content doesn't mean i'm forced to do it. Why are you homosexuals so fricking stupid to comprehend this? It just shows you homosexuals WANT korean mmo but are too afraid to get sucked into because you have no will to stop it.
>There's content but I don't want to do it, now hear me whine about it to no end
Wow you're almost like a women, might as well start your HRT
>reply shit not even related to my post
>no argument
I accept your concession.
I only used Alexander to play to be able to double weave, but now I guess I have to finally install the XIVLauncher and use noclippy cause the korean dev is dead.
Will noclippy/XIValex even do anything if I can double weave with no issue?
Is it true that healing doesnt generate enmity anymore or was that just for Regen ticks specifically?
Just regen ticks, enmity as a mechanic is pointless either way though
my god when does cactbot come up
Every orange parser or higher uses plugins. 100%
Even casual players download callouts, cope if you ever thought it was a sub 1% minority
People can’t play classes that have a 1-2-3 combo with 1-2 weaves
Everyone you play with is bad
At most I just had ACT for parsing, still got oranges in SB and SHB while pugging savage. but they weren't consistent oranges :^(
I'm sorry you live in Guatemala
People complaining that "there's nothing to grind!" should be required to post their The Deeper End IV status.
Guarantee they're all 0/20
>dude just grind this rng and get lucky 20 times
zzzz
Yes the point of any grind is that its inherently pointless except to reach the end goal.
Right, but this isn't even something you can just work toward on your own. You have to let the game give it to you.

>I-I don't like it so it doesn't count
I wish to begin Savage Raiding, if only to say that I've done it.
I also wish to play Black Mage for it.
How much am I going to suffer?
Extremely, you've chosen the most punishing job to approach new content with
Expectable and acceptable.
Black Mage is designed specifically so you have to know the fight to get the most out of your job and when I say "know the fight" I mean deeply intimately knowing it
No other job is like this
you picked the right time to go for it. most players are 15-20 ilvls above the designed difficulty of the current savage content so you can basically get carried through everything except p8 if you throw yourself at PF enough.
Where's a good place to start gearing? I've started been running Abyssos normals but I'm also broke. Big issue now is the weapon. Could either farm Asphodelos to get the Radiant one or farm to get the Manderville rod. May lean towards Manderville, but I was hoping to use that on a different Job.
>Where's a good place to start gearing?
Get Augmented Rinascita
Go to Euprosyne and pick up anything that's better
Turn in a Euphosyne and Aglaia coin for a Shine/Twine to upgrade a piece of gear a week
Meld all of it
Manderville's your better bet. It's 1500 astronomy tomestones, you can do dailies for a couple days if you want any of the others. There's also Wondrous Tails and hoping for multiple lines to get more astronomies.
You could get the manderville weapon and do the new Ex trial to get a i625 weapon.
get the crafted rinascita gear and use the rain exchange NPC in Radz at Han to upgrade it to 620. Run 5 expert roulettes each week to cap causality tomes for lunar envoy gear and upgrade that to 630 by running aglaia and euphrosyne once a week. If you want to do savage difficulty you may as well do the extreme for a 625 weapon first. That's more than enough gear for stomping savage. p5s and p6s are also easy and give you almost all slots 630 as well.
How easy is P5S? I don't want to fricking spend tomes on right side stuff but the last savage I did was E2S IIRC and i'm sure i'm significantly worse after coming back to the game
the hardest mechanic in p5s is not any worse than a Endwalker S-rank hunt mech.
Sounds good to me, thanks
people overstate how hard blm is on prog. yes you have to learn what exactly you can us when but that comes to you as everyone else is progging the fight anyways.
Why do you hate yourself? It can be done but its an extra level of difficulty for no real reason other than you love the job.
That said I've done some myself and of course its possible. You are required to know everything about a fight and adjust to your own benefit or you will suffer. People making light of this are people who don't play the job on that level.
If you ever use a parse as an indicator for anything just look at how meme huge the BLM performances vary compared to other jobs.
>Cultists are on such level of cope that they pretend you're not allowed to criticize the game if you haven't gotten necromancer.
>Even though it's one of the rarest achievements in the game because of how tedious and unfun it is.
If necromancer is your idea of content that makes this game good then I guess this game simply sucks ass.
>because it's tedius unfun
Sour grapes
I don't care about titles, I don't even remember what title I currently have set. If there was an exclusive glamour or mount behind the achievement you'd have more of a point.
Some people do it for the experience. Just to prove themselves they did it.
one person mentioned PotD when an anon was asking about what grinds to do
you are the only person who mentioned necromancer
you're complaining about nothing
how do I make 25m gil and 3m MGP?
I want the new mounts so much it hurts
>cultists
>cope
>criticize
the three C's of daytime FFXIV shitposting
you got it chief
That's Cultist anon, he's half as moronic as barry but that's hardly something to be proud of.
I'm just majorly annoyed that for the first time, 13 months into a patch series, there is absolutely ZERO combat content that isn't a dungeon or raid.
Why do I even bother leveling these DoW/DoM jobs? I don't play most of them because the only content you can play as them requires queuing so I just always pick a Tank.
Your criterion bro???
Anon that's a dungeon.
What bro you want new content? AND IN TOP OF THAT COMBAT? No bro go fish/tribes and all the other stupid shit that's literally "click here and watch shit happen". Don't want that? I guess you want korean mmo grind. Unsub from my game just like how Yoshi told me to do if i ever think about asking for more.
the reason they try to keep the casual playerbase away from combat content is because they actually know their combat is complete shit now, so they try to make it so only the truly deranged engage with it for extended periods of time.
Post your legends
>Bragging about playing content for the truly deranged that most people avoid for good reason (grinding 300 hours of pulls on a single boss is an activity only for the mentally ill).
You're a vanishingly small percentage of the playerbase and most people with your title paid money for it. Settle down.
If combat is so easy then how come you can't get ultimates without spending 300 hours?
Yeah you cleared ultimate in three pulls because you're such a badass and your DPS is always orange. Spare me this stupidity.
If you want to get rid of your stupidity there's one easy solution, move to Canada
Why do people use TPT for almost every ultimate despite them being solved and years old.
Every UCOB PF uses Nael plugin
Every UWU uses plugin to invalidate Titan
and then the general mechanic predictions in TEA and DSR
Most of the people who have cleared these did them with guides and cheats, or just paid money for the clear
>everyone just cheats man
I refuse to believe it until you post actual proof.
The % of players getting through Ultimates would be way higher if that was the reality.
The main barrier to entry is wanting to spend hours of your life with 7 other people
>plays an MMO
>doesnt want to play with people
You people are moronic.
b***h do you ever look at PF? When I was running ults it was on most of the descriptions. I’ve run them and the fact that most are too stupid to understand quotes and Gaols is a testament to the “hardcore” players.
so you can easily show me a PF screenshot asking for these addons?
post your character and clears then
Shitter cope right here, the only "widespread" cheat people use is auto markers for titan gaols in UWU and if you've done the fight you'd know why.
>300 hours
uh oh someone's never done an ultimate in their life.
>gimme engaging content
>ultimate
>NOOOOOOO I DONT WANT THAT
I don't get it
This game used to have fun classes so even shit as easy as extremes was fun. Sorry you joined after the combat was gutted to the point the only way for it to be exciting is to play poopsocker content.
I started in 2.0 so wrong there shbabby. Extremes after Levi were easy. Savages after Midas was easy.
The order in which you press buttons hardly made a difference unless you're a trash player who has to really think about which buttons to press. Cleric stance, threat management were the things that really filtered players.
No one can force you to do Savage or Ultimates, you can lead a horse to water but you can't force him to drink. Nice selfie btw.
>The only content in the game is raids and that's a good thing!
Warlords of Draenor lost half of WoW's playerbase for thinking this was an acceptable way to design an MMO. I guess it won't happen to FFXIV though because it already has less than 2 million subscribers, many of which use the game exclusively as a paid chatroom.
>the only content in the game is raid
But it isn't you yourself said so in the previous post, but you don't want to do any content.
That's your issue.
>You don't want to poopsock a 500 hour raid done by under 5% of the playerbase? Okay the only alternative to that is content that is cleared in a single pull, can never kill you, doesn't require a healer, or consists exclusively of clicking on NPCs.
Damn this truly sounds like an excellent game.
>I don't want to do easy content
>I don't want to do hard content
>I don't want to do savages either
Wow, it's almost as if you don't even play at all, so why bother crying about it?
Savage is dogshit in Endwalker though. I cleared asphodelos and then unsubscribed because the current combat design is the opposite of fun. Asphodelos was easier than usual but even if it had been harder, its hard to compensate for how fricking bad the jobs feel this time around.
wow crazy bro, you should just quit.
Literally just told you I unsubscribed moron. Try to actually think before spewing your marvel one-liners. 6.3 is shit and this game will never have good combat again. Cope.
ok good. thank god.
Settle down shitposter-sama, if you actually read any of the threads on here or on the official forums you'd know that almost everyone hates the current way job design is being handled, even the "cultists"
So everyone hates the core gameplay currently, but supposedly the game has never been better.
This is a combat MMO right? If it is, and the combat is currently bad, doesn’t that make it a bad game? Having non combat side content is nice like fishing and whatnot, but that doesn’t change the fact that class design, class balance, dungeon design, enemy mechanics (non bosses usually have nothing ), and raid rewards are all at their absolute worst.
This is why you have people shutting on the game, you could have a million different side grinds, fashion, beast tribes, fishing and crafting(lol), but the base of the game is bad right now and has no sign of getting better
>people dislike 2min rotation and what that entails in fights
>that means combat is shit
Such a black and white mentality, could you be honest instead of shitposting so hard so we could actually have a proper discussion?
I dislike that dungeons have been the EXACT SAME SHIT for half a decade
I dislike that dungeons mobs have no mechanics other than hitting you so you can just drag mobs through the whole dungeon and grind them all before every boss (assuming tank isn’t asleep and healers use skills)
I dislike that bosses have no variation, at best it’s 1 of two mechanics, either going 1,2 or 2,1
Classes are all the same, with exception being BLM which is so annoying to play you are liable to be kicked out of the party. No real utility to classes outside of damage buffs.
Alliance raids are just dungeon bosses with highly inflated HP, nothing unique or engaging about the content
You're just making shit up and don't actually play the game at all.
4/10 for trying though
He clearly has played the game longer than you, moronic Endshitter.
What changed about raid rewards is literally friendlier to people who multiclass than it was previously
>All of this
>Just to confirm that you are indeed just a shitposter that doesn't even play the fricking game
Dungeon design has stayed the same since mid-HW, enemy mechanics has gotten harder over the years in all types of content outside of open world stuff, job balance is actually the most balanced it has ever been in the games entire history.
The only point you have is Job design but you completely invalidate your own argument by saying that people hate it enough to not play when that is clearly not the case. If you want to know why you feel the way you do it is probably because normal mode content has become more forgiving over the years even though the amount of stuff being thrown at the player has increased (dramatically even in some cases), that along with players becoming better at the game just makes this problem even more glaringy obvious.
TLDR: the problem with the game is the inconsistent difficulty curve and the developers refusal to allow players to be mechanically better at playing their jobs vs other players, everything else about the game has more or less stayed the same since ARR
>not even wanting to do savages
Sounds like you're not even worth making content for. Maybe you should play another game.
WoD lost its playerbase because of Blizzard being fricking moronic and not developing the amount of content they should have.
Woah slow down there strawjak at this time in HW you would've been doing fate and dungeon grinds for a relic weapon and then doing fate grinds I'm sorry NM trains in Amenos for a relic weapon so I'm not sure what exactly changed for you to be this bored now of all times.
Because right now you can't even do that and you won't do it in the future because i'm sure they gotta dumb down the grind on this relic.
Bozja's grind was lighter than the other two on account of it being split between the zone and the HW ARR relic step method. I doubt this one will be much less than that. I even saw people complain that some of the steps were still too grindy so it's not like there is a universally agreed upon middle ground.
Everytime someone says this you can CLEARLY see people don't like to play the game. They just don't like the game and can't accept it. Where the frick have you seen someone go "nono please don't make me play" unless your gameplay is shit anyone would like to fight more shit in a game center around fighting stuff.
It's not only about fighting stuff though if that was the case why add anything besides 10 dungeons and 8 alliance raid bosses every patch. I don't think there's enough grind content right now myself but if you restrict yourself to only combat content I feel like you're going to bore yourself out of any MMO that isn't WoW.
WoW combat is fricking shit though, I literally fall asleep mid raid anytime my guild forces me to go with them because they're missing people.
Also no class is even 1/10 as fun as NIN
This fricking community is NOT pumping out NEARLY enough porn, or at the very least normal fanart, of the gods.
thats why fujos run this game.
by this time last patch there was already a shitzillion gay incest N'T porn
fujos are powerful because they know they have to create their own content so they do
coomer men expect everything to be handed to them without exception, only to be left with nothing because they have failed to actually acquire the skills necessary to create their own content
frontline is actually really great gameplay (when i win via clutch)
is the new deep dungeon also going to be 100 floors?
Most likely. They are probably never going back to the 200 floor layout since the RNG were so off the charts that you need as much luck as you need skill
1-100 isn't bad, it's just painfully slow
>want to discuss a game
>bring up bad things in game
>you are free to unsub if you don’t like it
>only option is fanboy or a lack of discussion. Enjoy or frick off
Imagine how moronic that would be to say about literally any game. This whole image board would be nonexistent with that rationale. You can hate how the game has changed or certain content while still enjoying parts or the game. Just telling people to unsub is the most mentally ill form of conversation you could have. By that logic the only people who should be talking are those that think it’s the best game ever.
You don't want to discuss it though, you just want to b***h. Your "discussion" is looking for an echo chamber for people to repeat your criticisms back at you and then you all jack off in the corner. No one frankly cares enough about your snowflake opinion to give anything other than a cursory "ok" because the game was, is, and will be perfectly fine without you.
nobody is stopping you from talking about shit parts of the game
>they completely reworked Lahabrea/Igeyorhm/AP fight in ARF
Huh. Honestly, it's an improvement. It was extremely non-intuitive before.
>SB and ShB relics connected to Eureka/Bozja
>EW relics connected to a one hour Hildibrand cutscene and a tome grind
The second step is going to be just as bad isn't it?
At least the base models of this batch looked good...
Anon. The first step of bozja's relic is quite literally "give me 1000 tomestones but in scales"
Nobody complaining right now played during 5.25 I promise you that.
Yeah but at least we still got a Trial with that first step, and the EX could be grinded for dyeable AF gear.
And the second step gave us Bozja. The second EW step in two months won't give us a Bozja.
People complained about 5.25 being barebones and now suddenly its more content rich because you could get dyable AF gear?
Solo duty + Trial + Trial EX + tome grind
That seems more to me than Hildibrand quest + tome grind.
There was no normal mode. Only an EX and a solo duty.
And to add on, you didn't need to do the EX to get the weapons so why are you including it at all?
It wasn't even the new tomestones like Mandeville weapons, it was just fricking poetics. And you got the first one for free from doing the Varis solo duty.
What the frick are you talking about, Mandeville requires 1500 purple tomes for now.
that's what I meant, it requires expansion tomestones rather than poetics
If we are lucky they might tie it to the new deep dungeon somehow so that we don't have to grind the same 5 dungeons over and over again
Limsa Idlers complained they had to do actual content to get a reward so the entirety of the EW relic will be nothing but world fates and roulettes.
Yeah, fun right.
Ishikawa better come back next patch or the next expansion. The story and dialogue is underwhelming.
we eureka/bozja enjoyers told you it was a mistake to drop it in ew
NOOOOOOO MY DEEP DUNGEON IS MORE IMPORTANT
All 5 of you
>wahhhh why isn’t there any content
>and by content I mean literally only adventuring forays, I don’t do anything else in this game, I just log in for Cassie spawns then log out
>xelphatol
>they removed tornado spawns at players during boss 2, now she spawns them herself at wooden stoppers
>flying ships are no longer targetable, you WILL kill all the mobs
Meh
>you WILL kill all the mobs
Edit to this, they reduced the quantity or mobs to 2-3 per ship, it's alright.
oh, so they no longer fly back and forth infinitely?
Every time I tried to play XI, it was the same exact thing.
>make new character
>solo to 11-12
>stand in the middle of town and shout for a party so I can keep leveling
>no one responds for an hour
>delete character and make a new one
This happened probably a dozen times before I gave up. 9 year old me got filtered hard.
That's always the first filter, the game is trying to get you to take the initiative to reach out and talk to people one on one to try and form a party. The good news, unfortunately, is that retail today is 100% soloable until mid tier endgame thanks to trusts.
Yeah I think I got into a party literally once for about an hour and thought it was a coolest shit. Wish I was maybe more persistent back then but meh
I actually got groups quickly and it STILL made me want to kill myself.
Are the apple trees on the island bugged for anyone else?
You chop them down and instead of the model replacing with the stump it just fades for a second and respawns as the full tree lol
oh wait nevermind i'm simply dumb
did they ever fix the huge delay on plds charge compared to all the other tanks?
why is the thread not archived already? wtf
