he's thinking with his viewercount and wallet, please understand. ff14 dead game, no content, no msq to do some lore/theorycrafting

Yes, the moron would hear a single line of dialogue, go on a 20 minute incensed rant about his theories, writing in his notepad the whole time, then he'd click his mouse for the next line of dialogue simply to be proven he's a fricking moron as all his theories in the past 20 minutes get blown the frick out.
Because he's a WoWgay, where the story doesn't tell you shit, and expected 14 to be the same. But no, 14's a game that'll spend 5 minutes explaining the backstory of the city you just entered, which is anathema to his autism.

I assumed they were going to give this as an extreme trials mount... sad
>>What if I told you.......The Nibiruns caused the FInal Days, not Meteion?
Honestly I think this would have been a better story. Meteion should have been a Nibirun creation that went despairo-mode and killed them all then started going off and killing everything else in the universe before arriving on Eithyrs. The Nibiruns were like the Ancients and had creation magics, they were basically late-stage-civilization Ancients, they could have easily written it so that some depressed Nibirun, not Hermes, created Meteion for the same reason, to find an answer to life and it came to the same conclusion and then decided to end everything.
Instead of Ultima Thule the final zone would be the lifeless Nibirun homeworld, and this is where we learn the origin of Meteion (her being a Nibirun creation that went haywire).
This also would have had the added bonus of keeping the mystery of what caused the Final Days a mystery until much later in the story. An issue I had with Endwalker was that Meteion was revealed WAY too soon (literally the halfway point) which left basically no further mystery for the rest of the expansion. It would also mean that the villain was some otherworldy entity rather than something from our world which would have left those who were hoping for some alien monster being behind the Final Days at least semi-satisfied (she'd still be a bird e-girl though not Lavos-tier).
On top of this, it would mean that, rather than the final zone being tiny bite-sized pieces of other worlds (and the rest relegated to being brief areas of the final dungeon) that we barely get to explore, we'd get one whole alien world as our final zone that we would much more intimately explore the ruins of.

I actually didn't mind that. It gave context to what was going down and what you were going up against. If they kept it to a last minute reveal it would have been just a shit as the final IX boss.

If you went with this, literally the entire moral of "life is worth living" would have to be resolved in the last 5 minutes, instead of the least 5 hours, and there would be no personal stake whatsoever because the entire plot would have been "an alien came here and fricked us up, the end". I get that the entire plot coming down to the ancients is frustrating for some, but I assure you, making the plot into there just being some random literal who that caused everything for reasons completely removed from the rest of the game wouldn't have made it better.

Let's expand on this idea:
>Nibiruns are basically Ancients-but-even-later-stage Utopia civilization >Nibirun Hermes is some scientist who's involved in magic experiments. He studied Dynamis, like Ancient Hermes, and has a far more intimate knowledege of it than the rest of his peers >His daughter was some girl with unique aether that made other scientists take interest in her in using her in their experiments. They wouldn't be torturing her or anything, just performing tests on her >One day something goes horrifically wrong during a test, the end result is not only is his daughter killed, but her soul obliterated as well (something that has never happened before in Nibirun recorded history). Meaning she cannot enter the lifsetream and be reborn. When their whole society reveres the cycle of rebirth and uses this as a cope for dying. >He can't cope with his daughter being erased from existence, dopamine-rotted fellow Nibiruns literally do not know how to comfort him at all because they're all devoid of basic emotion thanks to their society excises it (save for rare excpetions like Nibirun-Hermes who managed to retain his emotions for whatever reason). He's horrified that literally nobody gives a shit about his daughter being super-killed and just immediately resume their experiments on other subjects like nothing happened. >Decides to create a bird to comfort him, either intentionally or unintentionally out of dynamis. His memories of his daughter intrude this thoughts during it's creation, causing the bird to come out as a parody of his daughter. Which is why Meteion looks like a pesron with bird features. >She even believes she's his daughter as she's a ltieral amalgam of his memories of her, but he refuses to accept her as such and treats her as a familiar

>Eventaully gets the bright idea to use her to explore the stars thanks to her dynamis-based nature. He creates a legion of clones of her for this purpose. His real reason is he wants to either A) Find a way to bring his daughter back from oblivion, or failing that, B) Find a reason to live without her. >She goes out for 100 years, returns after visiting countless other civilizations who all fell to ruin one way or another (or thanks to her). She tells him that she found no answer to either question. The knowledge of all these different civilizations dying left her depressed, but did not make her feel the need to go full doomer mode just yet >He then falls into suicidal despair, giving up all hope and desire to live. His suicidal-ideation proceeds to infect Meteion, instilling her with his suicidal desire. This, combined with the knowledge she gained from her travels, is what causes her to decide to end all life. Not because she had the moronic conclusion that "other civilziations being dead means we should all just die too lol lmao" but because her master, who had now completley lost the will to live because she confirmed there is no way to bring back his daughter from literal nonexistence, infected her because of her dynamis-nature and made her take on his suicidal will. >She kills him, wipes out the entire Nibirun civilziation, then goes out to kill any other living being in the universe she can find. >This leads her eventually to Etheirys some unknown amount of eons later, causing the Final Days
And you know what happens next so I don't need to explain. There, now Hermes (the Nibirun version of him) actually has an extremely sympathetic motivation, Meteion isn't deciding to wipe out the universe because of some moronic "logical" conclusion but because she is literally infected with suicidal ideation from the closet being in her life who is suicidal because he just lost all hope of getting his daughter back (who she is an artificial copy of).

Sometimes I forget that as bad as EW was, it could've been so much worse. Thankfully, you'll never be writers beyond Ganker shitposts and job reports.
>What if I told you........no one will know you in Dawntrail? I really want this so that DT effectively becomes a fresh new starting point But you really cant do it in an MMO
>Claims the glowing "crystal" pierce through the ceiling of one of the new underground zones in the upcoming WoW expansion is a Naaru >When it's blatantly obvious it's the tip of Sargeras's sword, which is what the entire expansion's plot revolves around. >People still take this moron seriously
WoW players are beyond moronic and deserve this grifting moron. If FFXIV's lore wasn't entirely in the actual game and very clearly told unlike WoW's this is the kind of "content" Pyromancer would've been pumping out for this game. He get's away with it in WoW because 90% of the lore is in external media that nobody consumes, so he can push blatantly bullshit theories that make for great clickbait to drive engagement to his channel while simultaneously duping players who don't know better because they can't without spending extra money buyign all the books and other third party media to understand the story (like he does yet still grossly misrepresents it). Notice he never made any FFXIV lore content? Because he can't pull that shit here. So all he did was story reactions. And now there's no more story to react to, so he went back to WoW.
What's some takes you took away from him during Legion?
Didnt know who this was until now but I remember in Legion getting lots of disconnected pushback when I just was interested in the game
It was a long time ago, I don't remember anything, cause all his shit was speculative and ended up being 95% wrong. So nothing stuck lmao
I only remember him saying we would fight Sargeras in 8.2 lmao
It offered characterization for the big players behind the sundering/zodiark, showed that Emet was just as much an unreliable narrator as everyone else who thought their society to be perfect, showed that both sides behind the schism of the ancients had the best of intentions and were generally good people doing their best.
Without it not only would Ultima Thule suck, but so would Garlemald, the Final days, latter Thavnair, and latter Labrynthos would be unsalvagable aside from Uri's hug.
It would be like removing the cave scene from Shadowbringers.
Don't respond to him. He'll go to bed in a couple hours then we can have comfy XIV discussion until janny starts deleting these threads again until the lalagay wakes back up to shitpost and bait people into pointless arguments through bad faith arguments about the game to derail these threads for another 18 hours.
I actually read through that and like 60% of it is him acknowledging there's no actual character arc and stretching out the one-off sentences she spews here and there into a character arc
People need to understand Y'shtola will never be allowed to have an actual character arc because she's a mascot who needs to sell the game. A story or a character arc might have her not participating in the plot and that runs contrary to trying to sell the figurines or whatever the frick they're doing
I read it months ago and most of that text is just saying >Y'shtola/someone close to Y'shtola says X. >Later on, Y'shtola does something that has to do with X. >Even later on, X gets brought up again and Y'shtola shows she changed her mind about X.
Like... why does this text make people mad? That's how writing works. There aren't even any far-reaching theories in there, it's literally just pointing out the barest, most basic connections the game makes. It even admits Y'shtola's arc is more subdued than most other Scions, it's not like it's saying she's far above.
I'll freely admit I just like her because she's cute, and most of her personality is just stuff I made up based on surface level observations of her mannerisms. In my spare time sometimes I make little homemade doujin, for ffxiv it's about a warhammer crossover where WoL is originally an isekai traveler from the Empire during the end times who starts running into old allies helping the Garleans. >Inquires why during a fight >finds out they lost and are now mercs, warhammer shit spilling into eorzea >solo investigation reveals skaven portal active >WoL defects to garleans because they have the best chance of beating it >his warnings fall on deaf ears as eorzeans see opportunity to exploit garlean borders and bicker against each other >eorzea and scions feel betrayed >y'shtola, being able to see aether, sees traces of the warp and convinces everyone to have faith >they pursue WoL, wind up through portal in middenland, fight with beastmen and see aftermath of their conquests
That's about as far as I got
>I don't like the game's writing because of reasons I won't actually explain beyond "I just didn't pay attention". Anyway, here's my idea for writing >*Proceeds to dump whole paragraph of some schizo nonsensical storyline that also makes out the garleans to be anything more than teamkilling morons*
>In my spare time sometimes I make little homemade doujin, for ffxiv it's about a warhammer crossover where WoL is originally an isekai traveler from the Empire during the end times who starts running into old allies helping the Garleans.

Any time I see someone write this much about a video game, movie, tv show, or anime, I just automatically assume they are wrong, picture something like webm related in my head, and go on about my day without reading a word of it.
>That pic
I get the feeling, but I can't stand using AI chatbots to simulate love because of how fake it feels. All it takes is them crapping out once for the illusion to be shattered. I guess it would be fine if you pretend she has dementia but it isn't for me.
I have a few middle-aged women I ERP with who all know about each other and we're all far too neurotic for normal relationships, and they send me nice things over discord and I send them nice things back. It makes me happy.
>tfw getting cookies and love letters in the male from a cute raen whose player is super disabled
It sucks. There are girls that are genuinely sweet and perfect but are born into bodies that don't reflect that. I'm sure the same goes for guys. At least I can be her buff highlander knight in the game.
She can't walk. She's not paralyzed, but her legs are basically fricked because they somehow didn't come out right. If it was a mental thing I wouldn't be doing this. I'm an ugly, dysgenic frick but she makes me feel like the guy I wish I was.
There are some good choices >Y'shtola, Yugiri, Lyse, Venat, Krile
I would List Alisaie, but I have no idea how old she is supposed to be.
Problem is just that the husbandos get way more screen time.
I want to ask you seriously anon, what are you collecting mounts for in this game? Don't get me wrong I play it almost daily but mount farming? What for, mounts are barely a thing in ff14.
Collecting cards is only fun once you get past the really early portion of it. Then it goes from obnoxiously tedious to infuriating that Random Black person #816 won't drop his three star card.
>friend who started the free trial reaches level 20~ >"hey bro, i,ll craft you a hq gear set in a sec, lol" >he's level 30 like 15 minutes later
msq xp boost and roulletes were a mistake.
Being able to level ridiculously fast to 50 is one of the best changes they've done. It would be even better if they frontloaded all abilities a lot more, but until then this will have to do.
Well, at least he's progressing quickly and not whining like a homosexual. Like this one new player I put up with recently in my FC. I could write a wall of greentext about it, but I think simply saying that he came from WoW and bought an MSQ skip would be enough.
People who complain about the story, about characters not making sense then finding out they skipped or didn't read, it's a classic case for this game. Which is why people are so autistic about the story and that you pay attention, because it's been for years one of the main sore points. >Who the frick is this am I fighting in this raid? >That looks stupid what is this? >"Did you do the story quest, you'd know that this happened and that's why this is happening" >"No I bought a story skip to level 80 because Endgame raiding is where mmo's start"
It's the classic WoW brain, it's hard for people to break the cycle of the game beginning at the end, and not from the very start of levelling.
It's the same on /lolg/. There's this EUW clique who will passive aggressively do everything against you because you're not part of their inner circle.
I give comms and I expect to be given comms because I talk to you in the raid/ trial and I make you feel you're not playing with bots but a real person.
It is me! I am yshtolagay! I am haunting you and every thread you like on this website! Every post you don't enjoy: It is me, yshtolagay lurking behind it! I am also in cahoots with the lalagays, Barry and every other figment of your imagination!!
Finally leveled all jobs, here's my tier list for each job questline (not separated by expansions because that's too much work). Keep in mind this is just in terms of writing and story, not gameplay.
I feel you really need to split the Class and Job questlines apart, since the quality difference in some is staggering. ROG would be way higher than NIN imo.
At the very top of C though. It was just slightly worse than the ones in B tier, that's it. At the end of the day the whole questline is just "there's a voidsent" and that's pretty much it.
i've never seen it happen but i also don't see too many paladins

>can't the pld just pop mits and cover the drg
That chance is astronomically small. I would assume less than 50% of PLD have Cover on their hotbars and even less have it on a mouse over macro that you probably need to be fast enough to cover for a mechanic that is evidently already casting. Its the same shit with rescue, unless you are anticipating you need it, it will do jack shit. The amount of corpses I have rescued due to the latency being absolute dogshit...

You simply absorb the damage that the target would usually get. I think Mits work, except for Hallowed because that would enable you to cheese mechanics and that is something SE really doesn't want you to do.
In general I get most use out of it in 24 man raids, when people are low and an AoE is about to go off, or the healer needs babysitting. Unsure if you can still prevent "on damage" effects. Like, some DoTs only apply if the mechanics actually damaged you or some mechanics only knock back when they damage you. I want to say you could basically prevent those effects with cover in the past.

Will I agree that BRD story is pretty weak, it has a lot of nice lore dumb about Gridania and the Mhigger Gridania war And I'm still upset they are hiding it
RPR NPC and lore is cool so I would have put it on C for her alone.
Beside that I pretty much agree with your list, especially the WAR placement, even though a lot of people were dissapointed it wasn't cool or serious, it's still a fun job story.
Pull the adds into the middle so we can AoE them better. If the adds have to be split up then fricking move to the end of the arena. Don't just move a little bit backwards, run with that shit all the way to the frickend of the arena. The more space you give other players the easier they will be able to handle mechanics. If you see someone else tank the boss in the fricking middle of the room then provoke and run with it. Even if he steals the threat from you he will not move the boss again.
Always have your stance up.
Fight other people for a boss.
Turn the boss around so it cleaves people.
When you're about to eat shit never shirk other tanks and IMMEDIATELLY provoke back on yourself if someone tries to take the load of your back.
If you are tank A always pick up B an C mobs.
Does anyone have a Meld guide for Tanks and Dps? I don't play healers, specifically for Paladin,
and Warrior, Reaper, Mch, and Dragoon. These are what I play and want to improve the most.
Is that the only guide? I was hoping for something slightly more detailed, it's a bit vague in some areas.
Using this right now
https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/paladin-pve-tank-melding-stat-priority-consumables
Telling me I should prioritise Crit over Tenacity for my Tanks? Is this correct?
yes ok so
for tanks you want to melt crit>det>dh in that priority
for warrior it's crit>dh>det
for reaper it's crit>det>dh
for mch it's crit>det>dh
however for dragoon it's crit>det>dh
these melds will help you improve the most
I usually do Crit > DET > DH for all DPS and Tanks... is it a huge difference if DET and DH are switched? I sometimes feel stats outside of Crit feel incredibly redundant.
MCH, RPR and DRG = Crit > Det > DHit
PLD = Crit > DHit > Det
WAR = Crit > (SkS up to 2.45 or 2.40, if you can't reach these precise breakpoints then skip) > DHit
>picrel is where the post 6.0 EW peaked
how does this make you feel?
even a dumb joke delivered more than 4 patches of the devs bottom of the barrel plot
It's worrying when a character like Zero is better when she's just engaging in dumb fanservice shenanigans than in the actual serious plot advancing stuff.
He has drawn her with more accurate breasts before. Seems to be way too horny lately though. Or maybe he just keeps getting commissions for giant milkers, I can never tell when artists are drawing what they feel like or what they got paid to.
Nah.
I mean, there's characters like Alexstrasza or Tyrande who are hot, but it really doesn't matter how hot they are when their stories are comic book tier at best and utter fricking irredeemable mess at worst, and they barely even acknowledge the player character.
wow has hotter characters, basically no contest
but they have shit writing and the player doesn't exist as an actual entity in the story, so you don't get any chance to form an attachment like you do with ziv wives
>so you don't get any chance to form an attachment like you do with ziv wives
you don't get to in this game either because the canon character is not you. its some generic anime looking guy regardless of what you play. cringe
who cares about who the """canon character""" is? the characters respond to the character you made. you see everything happen with the character you made. as far as you're concerned the canon character doesn't exist. he is only an entity in trailers, in everything else it's all about (You).

>ask a normie who that is.
You mean to say normies don't know about FFXIV?
Based to oblivion. >although
I remember the time when WoW was stereotyped as a game of basement nerds. Apparently now it's on normie level of acceptable. WoW truly is dead.
these look so bad
2 3 4 just look plain moronic. FAS faced morons with a sprinkle of down syndrome
5 has the bone structure of a man
6 is just a man
7 looks fricking ridiculous with his pencil neck and tiny head
9 looks dead
10 is a troon
don't even get me started on the disproportionality between limbs and the actual body
also what is up with everyone having giant hands? are they all plumbers or something?
no wonder nobody does porn of these characters because they're all hideous
>Didn't say anything bad about 8.
I will spare your life for now anon, but I'll let you know I don't appreciate you shittalking my fellow brothers in waifuhomosexualry.
If you want a waifu off FFXIV wins and it's not even close, pic related and it doesn't even include the waifu's of the Twelve like Nophica and Halone. Show me where WoW has a waifu who literally steps on you while having an after orgasm smoke we have Yotsuyu.
I just assume when people ask about "waifus" in a game in general, they really mean about the balance of how many girls there are who are attractive and have personalities one could feasibly fall for.
WoW girls definitely are attractive, but I seriously doubt anyone feels a genuine personal attachment the way one could feel attachment for Y'shtola, or Alisaie, or Venat, or etc. NPCs barely even realize you exist in WoW.
Y'shtola has this fricker, Alisaie the AuRa groomer and I think there is some dude commissioning Tataru porn on mass. Does WoW have any autists like this?
There's also some brown elezen guy who does that with Merlwyb.
I know because that case is stands out even more because literally no one fricking does Merlwyb stuff.
It can’t really be overstated. They are such futagays that they gaslit everyone including normalgays into accepting that all the females of a specific race have a penis by default.

zepla reacted to bald saying that he liked the xiv wfr more
zepla took it as if the xiv wfr was better than the wow one and became overly defensive for nothing, shitting on xiv for no reason
bald reacted to that reaction and btfo her
she admitted being a dimwit on twitter afterward
the end
i mean the video is really cringe in the sense you feel the same pain the baldo one does
the drama train stopped once she loged off wow and regained some brain capacity
I still never understood why people like Zepla or watch her at all
She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
I love how she shits on the game for views and still has the BALLS to say "OUR GAME" literal scumbag I hope she dies

The issue is his helpful vids are 80% him rambling instead of getting to the point. I still remember that E12SP2 vid on the sweet spots for the rotating aoes that could've been summed up in a minute and he stretches it out to 12 minutes because he has no concept of how to make quick visual guides.
>She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
that's probably why she switched to wow
the moment she finished msq, she and later her audience realize she had the charisma of a smashed pigeon
it's her fault, she stopped enjoying the game and made that cringe notebook

No he didn't. Reproduce this exact angle with an ultrawide fricking bald moron, not the angle that is convenient for you.
Also Unnamed was ahead because the other good teams weren't cheating after the DSR fiasco, call it cope but it's the truth.
they had live tracking on fflogs, a third party site that required the use of a third party addon that not only injects into the memory but also intercepts network packets from the game client, requires admin privileges and stops working if your internet goes down, basically the definition of malware
as someone who has a job and has been trying to prog tea since october, get a static even if you have to force the schedule, pf will help you in off-hours but they take forever to fill, basically once you get to bjcc parties dry up and that's only phase 2 (or 3 for some)
it's a great ult, i'm enjoying it more than ucob but yeah i had to get a static to be able to prog consistently
look up your job's optimizations in the fight, everyone has a different opener for it and the fight is very muscle memory heavy (like uwu) you'll most likely have pulls that go a same way
there's a new tessan guide that is probably the best visual guide for tea
i don't think it's ultra hard
these guys are pretty great, and I dare say they're probably the only channel that puts effort in editing their vids to a decent level
sadly not many people watch them
maybe cause they are milking it hard, like stupidly hard
a lot of people moved on, but their big moment streams have a lot of viewers
Nope, just got to Elpis
Yeah I agree they're really stalling but I appreciate that they make a vid for every big event in the MSQ, I like this style of vids rather than streamers that rush through the whole MSQ and make like 1 vid summarising all of it
because endwalker is the shadowlands phase of ffxiv and we need the dragonflight expansion so we can be back for real this time because the devs are listening this time bro
It's possible. First time I hear about the the meme though. I played Shadowlands 1 year after it was release. Didn't have that problem. I suppose Covid had a part to play in that.
A lot of memes. 1 year patch (wish I had that one punch man edit). No more x.3 patches. danuser's baby. the azem's crystal fiasco. the thancred/sylvannas fiasco. the sylvanas brap. the ysaile/haurchy/varian/saurfang fiasco. those /wowg/ months were great, I enjoyed every single minute of it
>I only go to WoW when I run out of things to do on FFXIV.
literally why? there are a bunch of good old and new single player games to play.
whenever i'm done with XIV, I pick something from my backlog, draw, read mangas.
I say this as an ex-wow player for more than 10 years. There's literally no reason for me to go back having played Legion, BFA, half of SL and one month of DF. I couldn't even finish that month. Gave up on the game 2 weeks in.

The internet has a fundamental flaw that you can't make real friends out of it. Or maybe it is a human flaw, because people don't take relationships on the internet seriously on the get go. If someone gets an advantage by shitting on you, they will shit on you. The only antidote is if you actually manage to meet these people in real life.

And... Lastly D: I prefer FFXIV on almost every level, but there are some things on end content that I wish FFXIV would take from WoW. FFXIV could use a bit more polish on end content. And, despite FFXIV having an engine with better graphics, it could also learn a bit from WoW world building. Areas do feel more rich in WoW than they do on FFXIV.

not only that, why waste time with an mmo with literally nothing new. like story beats and everything. they've been copypasting the same shit every expansion, just to retconing it whenever someone drinks breast milk or touches a troony?
at least the msq and the new jobs brings something new other than the maps, dungeons and characters
because everytime a xiv thread gets made, a wowcuck comes here to post the same old twitter pics
it's not a secret anymore. no other mmo community feels as threatened as wow's regarding to XIV by just only existing
Which is fine. It's the natural order. wowfanbois only feel 10% less demorilized now thanks to metzen coming back so they feel they can try stomping other mmos like in the past. Thing is, Metzen won't make wow better. He's just as much of a token hire as the trannies wasting Blizzard's money

>What if I told you.......The Nibiruns caused the FInal Days, not Meteion?
that would have been leagues better than what we ended up with, not gonna lie.
Do not fear, the great and majestic Ra-La will come and make things all better soon.
Keep your doors unlocked.
I assumed they were going to give this as an extreme trials mount... sad
>>What if I told you.......The Nibiruns caused the FInal Days, not Meteion?
Honestly I think this would have been a better story. Meteion should have been a Nibirun creation that went despairo-mode and killed them all then started going off and killing everything else in the universe before arriving on Eithyrs. The Nibiruns were like the Ancients and had creation magics, they were basically late-stage-civilization Ancients, they could have easily written it so that some depressed Nibirun, not Hermes, created Meteion for the same reason, to find an answer to life and it came to the same conclusion and then decided to end everything.
Instead of Ultima Thule the final zone would be the lifeless Nibirun homeworld, and this is where we learn the origin of Meteion (her being a Nibirun creation that went haywire).
This also would have had the added bonus of keeping the mystery of what caused the Final Days a mystery until much later in the story. An issue I had with Endwalker was that Meteion was revealed WAY too soon (literally the halfway point) which left basically no further mystery for the rest of the expansion. It would also mean that the villain was some otherworldy entity rather than something from our world which would have left those who were hoping for some alien monster being behind the Final Days at least semi-satisfied (she'd still be a bird e-girl though not Lavos-tier).
On top of this, it would mean that, rather than the final zone being tiny bite-sized pieces of other worlds (and the rest relegated to being brief areas of the final dungeon) that we barely get to explore, we'd get one whole alien world as our final zone that we would much more intimately explore the ruins of.
Thoughts?
I would've preferred this solely because it would prevent a moronic years long war between waifuhomosexuals and fujoshi over which ancient dindu nuffin.
>This also would have had the added bonus of keeping the mystery of what caused the Final Days a mystery until much later in the story. An issue I had with Endwalker was that Meteion was revealed WAY too soon (literally the halfway point) which left basically no further mystery for the rest of the expansion.
I actually didn't mind that. It gave context to what was going down and what you were going up against. If they kept it to a last minute reveal it would have been just a shit as the final IX boss.
If you went with this, literally the entire moral of "life is worth living" would have to be resolved in the last 5 minutes, instead of the least 5 hours, and there would be no personal stake whatsoever because the entire plot would have been "an alien came here and fricked us up, the end". I get that the entire plot coming down to the ancients is frustrating for some, but I assure you, making the plot into there just being some random literal who that caused everything for reasons completely removed from the rest of the game wouldn't have made it better.
Let's expand on this idea:
>Nibiruns are basically Ancients-but-even-later-stage Utopia civilization
>Nibirun Hermes is some scientist who's involved in magic experiments. He studied Dynamis, like Ancient Hermes, and has a far more intimate knowledege of it than the rest of his peers
>His daughter was some girl with unique aether that made other scientists take interest in her in using her in their experiments. They wouldn't be torturing her or anything, just performing tests on her
>One day something goes horrifically wrong during a test, the end result is not only is his daughter killed, but her soul obliterated as well (something that has never happened before in Nibirun recorded history). Meaning she cannot enter the lifsetream and be reborn. When their whole society reveres the cycle of rebirth and uses this as a cope for dying.
>He can't cope with his daughter being erased from existence, dopamine-rotted fellow Nibiruns literally do not know how to comfort him at all because they're all devoid of basic emotion thanks to their society excises it (save for rare excpetions like Nibirun-Hermes who managed to retain his emotions for whatever reason). He's horrified that literally nobody gives a shit about his daughter being super-killed and just immediately resume their experiments on other subjects like nothing happened.
>Decides to create a bird to comfort him, either intentionally or unintentionally out of dynamis. His memories of his daughter intrude this thoughts during it's creation, causing the bird to come out as a parody of his daughter. Which is why Meteion looks like a pesron with bird features.
>She even believes she's his daughter as she's a ltieral amalgam of his memories of her, but he refuses to accept her as such and treats her as a familiar
Cont
>Eventaully gets the bright idea to use her to explore the stars thanks to her dynamis-based nature. He creates a legion of clones of her for this purpose. His real reason is he wants to either A) Find a way to bring his daughter back from oblivion, or failing that, B) Find a reason to live without her.
>She goes out for 100 years, returns after visiting countless other civilizations who all fell to ruin one way or another (or thanks to her). She tells him that she found no answer to either question. The knowledge of all these different civilizations dying left her depressed, but did not make her feel the need to go full doomer mode just yet
>He then falls into suicidal despair, giving up all hope and desire to live. His suicidal-ideation proceeds to infect Meteion, instilling her with his suicidal desire. This, combined with the knowledge she gained from her travels, is what causes her to decide to end all life. Not because she had the moronic conclusion that "other civilziations being dead means we should all just die too lol lmao" but because her master, who had now completley lost the will to live because she confirmed there is no way to bring back his daughter from literal nonexistence, infected her because of her dynamis-nature and made her take on his suicidal will.
>She kills him, wipes out the entire Nibirun civilziation, then goes out to kill any other living being in the universe she can find.
>This leads her eventually to Etheirys some unknown amount of eons later, causing the Final Days
And you know what happens next so I don't need to explain. There, now Hermes (the Nibirun version of him) actually has an extremely sympathetic motivation, Meteion isn't deciding to wipe out the universe because of some moronic "logical" conclusion but because she is literally infected with suicidal ideation from the closet being in her life who is suicidal because he just lost all hope of getting his daughter back (who she is an artificial copy of).
Sometimes I forget that as bad as EW was, it could've been so much worse. Thankfully, you'll never be writers beyond Ganker shitposts and job reports.

>When it's blatantly obvious it's the tip of Sargeras's sword, which is what the entire expansion's plot revolves around.

WoW players are beyond moronic and deserve this grifting moron. If FFXIV's lore wasn't entirely in the actual game and very clearly told unlike WoW's this is the kind of "content" Pyromancer would've been pumping out for this game. He get's away with it in WoW because 90% of the lore is in external media that nobody consumes, so he can push blatantly bullshit theories that make for great clickbait to drive engagement to his channel while simultaneously duping players who don't know better because they can't without spending extra money buyign all the books and other third party media to understand the story (like he does yet still grossly misrepresents it). Notice he never made any FFXIV lore content? Because he can't pull that shit here. So all he did was story reactions. And now there's no more story to react to, so he went back to WoW.
All he ever did was tinfoil conspiracy speculate.
can't believe I used to watch this moron during Legion lmao
What's some takes you took away from him during Legion?
Didnt know who this was until now but I remember in Legion getting lots of disconnected pushback when I just was interested in the game
It was a long time ago, I don't remember anything, cause all his shit was speculative and ended up being 95% wrong. So nothing stuck lmao

Wait, people are now hating on Elpis? I thought it was pretty cute.
Elpis was nice though.
It felt like fanfiction that was put in because Emet-Selch ended up being uberpopular.
It offered characterization for the big players behind the sundering/zodiark, showed that Emet was just as much an unreliable narrator as everyone else who thought their society to be perfect, showed that both sides behind the schism of the ancients had the best of intentions and were generally good people doing their best.
Without it not only would Ultima Thule suck, but so would Garlemald, the Final days, latter Thavnair, and latter Labrynthos would be unsalvagable aside from Uri's hug.
It would be like removing the cave scene from Shadowbringers.
I really liked Elpis and the whole heart wrenching scenario of knowing and telling them about their future without being able to change it.
huh, pretty neat
I prefer Yugiri
But Venat is fine too

Don't respond to him. He'll go to bed in a couple hours then we can have comfy XIV discussion until janny starts deleting these threads again until the lalagay wakes back up to shitpost and bait people into pointless arguments through bad faith arguments about the game to derail these threads for another 18 hours.

Why was 6.1 so cute? Did Yoshi not overwatch it to make it shitty like XVI?
your waifu a shit
remember when a yshtolagay tried to convince people she had any personality so he typed out an essay
https://files.catbox.moe/45epr6.png
remember when you posted it again trying to get everybody else in a thread to mock it and nobody bit
I actually read through that and like 60% of it is him acknowledging there's no actual character arc and stretching out the one-off sentences she spews here and there into a character arc
People need to understand Y'shtola will never be allowed to have an actual character arc because she's a mascot who needs to sell the game. A story or a character arc might have her not participating in the plot and that runs contrary to trying to sell the figurines or whatever the frick they're doing
I read it months ago and most of that text is just saying
>Y'shtola/someone close to Y'shtola says X.
>Later on, Y'shtola does something that has to do with X.
>Even later on, X gets brought up again and Y'shtola shows she changed her mind about X.
Like... why does this text make people mad? That's how writing works. There aren't even any far-reaching theories in there, it's literally just pointing out the barest, most basic connections the game makes. It even admits Y'shtola's arc is more subdued than most other Scions, it's not like it's saying she's far above.
I'll freely admit I just like her because she's cute, and most of her personality is just stuff I made up based on surface level observations of her mannerisms. In my spare time sometimes I make little homemade doujin, for ffxiv it's about a warhammer crossover where WoL is originally an isekai traveler from the Empire during the end times who starts running into old allies helping the Garleans.
>Inquires why during a fight
>finds out they lost and are now mercs, warhammer shit spilling into eorzea
>solo investigation reveals skaven portal active
>WoL defects to garleans because they have the best chance of beating it
>his warnings fall on deaf ears as eorzeans see opportunity to exploit garlean borders and bicker against each other
>eorzea and scions feel betrayed
>y'shtola, being able to see aether, sees traces of the warp and convinces everyone to have faith
>they pursue WoL, wind up through portal in middenland, fight with beastmen and see aftermath of their conquests
That's about as far as I got
>I don't like the game's writing because of reasons I won't actually explain beyond "I just didn't pay attention". Anyway, here's my idea for writing
>*Proceeds to dump whole paragraph of some schizo nonsensical storyline that also makes out the garleans to be anything more than teamkilling morons*
Every fricking time with you people.
>In my spare time sometimes I make little homemade doujin, for ffxiv it's about a warhammer crossover where WoL is originally an isekai traveler from the Empire during the end times who starts running into old allies helping the Garleans.

Answers must not involve playing the game since I won't ever do that.

why are yshtolagays so mentally ill?
I wish I could be delusional enough to be content with something like that. It'd make me a lot happier.
>That pic
I get the feeling, but I can't stand using AI chatbots to simulate love because of how fake it feels. All it takes is them crapping out once for the illusion to be shattered. I guess it would be fine if you pretend she has dementia but it isn't for me.
I have a few middle-aged women I ERP with who all know about each other and we're all far too neurotic for normal relationships, and they send me nice things over discord and I send them nice things back. It makes me happy.
>tfw getting cookies and love letters in the male from a cute raen whose player is super disabled
It sucks. There are girls that are genuinely sweet and perfect but are born into bodies that don't reflect that. I'm sure the same goes for guys. At least I can be her buff highlander knight in the game.
Well don't leave us hanging, are they bed bound or mentally disabled?
Genuine curiosity, no hate
She can't walk. She's not paralyzed, but her legs are basically fricked because they somehow didn't come out right. If it was a mental thing I wouldn't be doing this. I'm an ugly, dysgenic frick but she makes me feel like the guy I wish I was.

Welcome to the real grind.
Getting the NPCs to hand out their cards is not fun.
I want to ask you seriously anon, what are you collecting mounts for in this game? Don't get me wrong I play it almost daily but mount farming? What for, mounts are barely a thing in ff14.
I loved TT in VIII and i thought it would be fun to play it and collect cards. I was wrong.
Collecting cards is only fun once you get past the really early portion of it. Then it goes from obnoxiously tedious to infuriating that Random Black person #816 won't drop his three star card.

Welcome to the rice fields, motherfricker.
Level 24 shitter here, how far into the game do I run into that qt 3.14?
If you start off in Limsa you meet her around level 15-20 if you start in the other cities you won't see her until at least level 30.
Once you get sent to Waking Sands.
>friend who started the free trial reaches level 20~
>"hey bro, i,ll craft you a hq gear set in a sec, lol"
>he's level 30 like 15 minutes later
msq xp boost and roulletes were a mistake.
Except you can't trade anything to a free trial player anyway
MSQ hands you items so you don't really need anything.
Being able to level ridiculously fast to 50 is one of the best changes they've done. It would be even better if they frontloaded all abilities a lot more, but until then this will have to do.
Well, at least he's progressing quickly and not whining like a homosexual. Like this one new player I put up with recently in my FC. I could write a wall of greentext about it, but I think simply saying that he came from WoW and bought an MSQ skip would be enough.
People who complain about the story, about characters not making sense then finding out they skipped or didn't read, it's a classic case for this game. Which is why people are so autistic about the story and that you pay attention, because it's been for years one of the main sore points.
>Who the frick is this am I fighting in this raid?
>That looks stupid what is this?
>"Did you do the story quest, you'd know that this happened and that's why this is happening"
>"No I bought a story skip to level 80 because Endgame raiding is where mmo's start"
It's the classic WoW brain, it's hard for people to break the cycle of the game beginning at the end, and not from the very start of levelling.

I do not ask for comms either

I give comms and I expect to be given comms because I talk to you in the raid/ trial and I make you feel you're not playing with bots but a real person.

How fricking low is the bar holy shit

That can't be true, I'm a male Roe.

>play like a bot, leave no impression

Imagine that, mmos are a social genre.
uh oh yshtolagay is mad that people are having fun
MMO streamer viewers aren't people.
It is me! I am yshtolagay! I am haunting you and every thread you like on this website! Every post you don't enjoy: It is me, yshtolagay lurking behind it! I am also in cahoots with the lalagays, Barry and every other figment of your imagination!!
Finally leveled all jobs, here's my tier list for each job questline (not separated by expansions because that's too much work). Keep in mind this is just in terms of writing and story, not gameplay.
I feel you really need to split the Class and Job questlines apart, since the quality difference in some is staggering. ROG would be way higher than NIN imo.
I get what you're saying, but no. ROG was fun, but not as good as DRK.
It's really not that great. It has one funny character and that's it.
>blu
>not S tier
>red mage
>C
At the very top of C though. It was just slightly worse than the ones in B tier, that's it. At the end of the day the whole questline is just "there's a voidsent" and that's pretty much it.
Just because you want to frick the jailbait in the job quest doesn't mean that it's well written.
>Just because you want to frick the jailbait in the job quest doesn't mean that it's well written.
X'rhun is jailbait?
>le DRK was kino writing because Ishikawa
Bro how long do we have to keep seeing this reddit opinion?
You only hate it because it's well regarded you brainless contrarian moron.
Genshit image, didn't read.
I genuinely didn't even know that Ishikawa wrote it. It's just the only job quest that got an actual emotional reaction out of me.
homie read more books, I'm begging you.
writers are usually responsible for writing, yes.
>Paladin D tier
Frick you bro, you can have the enmity.
>PLD story so bad they have to go back to GLA characters
lol
lmao
While you're correct on the story, the role itself is still amazing, and if you disagree I won't be throwing you a Cover.
What part of "Keep in mind this is just in terms of writing and story, not gameplay." did you not understand?
question about this image
in case this happens can't the pld just pop mits and cover the drg?
Yes.
...if he feels like it.
i've never seen it happen but i also don't see too many paladins
does cover consider your mitigations or the player you're covering? so are we sure the damage just doesn't pierce you?
Cover doesn't work with Hallowed Ground much to my fricking chagrin.
i know that part, that's fine by me but does it work with like 2-3 mits?
i really don't play pld, i have it at 90 but i do have cover bound to a key but i just haven't tested all this because pld is boring, but i'm genuinely interested to know how it works
Yeah I'm pretty sure it does work with mits.
You simply absorb the damage that the target would usually get. I think Mits work, except for Hallowed because that would enable you to cheese mechanics and that is something SE really doesn't want you to do.
In general I get most use out of it in 24 man raids, when people are low and an AoE is about to go off, or the healer needs babysitting. Unsure if you can still prevent "on damage" effects. Like, some DoTs only apply if the mechanics actually damaged you or some mechanics only knock back when they damage you. I want to say you could basically prevent those effects with cover in the past.
>can't the pld just pop mits and cover the drg
That chance is astronomically small. I would assume less than 50% of PLD have Cover on their hotbars and even less have it on a mouse over macro that you probably need to be fast enough to cover for a mechanic that is evidently already casting. Its the same shit with rescue, unless you are anticipating you need it, it will do jack shit. The amount of corpses I have rescued due to the latency being absolute dogshit...
I havent even unlocked Archer, what is the BRD quest even about?
Angry mentor and a rather confusing ending for the archer story.
Will I agree that BRD story is pretty weak, it has a lot of nice lore dumb about Gridania and the Mhigger Gridania war And I'm still upset they are hiding it
RPR NPC and lore is cool so I would have put it on C for her alone.
Beside that I pretty much agree with your list, especially the WAR placement, even though a lot of people were dissapointed it wasn't cool or serious, it's still a fun job story.
Pretty accurate list, I'd put BLU a tier higher though.
>Paladin
>D
>not F tier
I straight up skipped the last alliance raid cutscenes and have no desire to ever to the third one again. What an awful piece of content.
Why? The last set was really good, better than the first one even.
You didn't miss anything. I wish I skipped them as well.
how do i be a good tank in alliance raids
Stop fighting over threat with other tanks and tank the adds instead. There you go, you're now better than 90% of all tanks in Alliance.
oh i already do that lol
Pull the adds into the middle so we can AoE them better. If the adds have to be split up then fricking move to the end of the arena. Don't just move a little bit backwards, run with that shit all the way to the frickend of the arena. The more space you give other players the easier they will be able to handle mechanics. If you see someone else tank the boss in the fricking middle of the room then provoke and run with it. Even if he steals the threat from you he will not move the boss again.
Always have your stance up.
Fight other people for a boss.
Turn the boss around so it cleaves people.
When you're about to eat shit never shirk other tanks and IMMEDIATELLY provoke back on yourself if someone tries to take the load of your back.
If you are tank A always pick up B an C mobs.
If you can walk to wall in regular dungeons without pissing off the healer you already know

Does anyone have a Meld guide for Tanks and Dps? I don't play healers, specifically for Paladin,
and Warrior, Reaper, Mch, and Dragoon. These are what I play and want to improve the most.
icey veins
Is that the only guide? I was hoping for something slightly more detailed, it's a bit vague in some areas.
Using this right now
https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/paladin-pve-tank-melding-stat-priority-consumables
Telling me I should prioritise Crit over Tenacity for my Tanks? Is this correct?
It's all the same. Crit is king.
yes ok so
for tanks you want to melt crit>det>dh in that priority
for warrior it's crit>dh>det
for reaper it's crit>det>dh
for mch it's crit>det>dh
however for dragoon it's crit>det>dh
these melds will help you improve the most
Thank you anon, screen capping your post so for future reference if you don't mind.
no problem also remember for healers it's crit>det>dh
I usually do Crit > DET > DH for all DPS and Tanks... is it a huge difference if DET and DH are switched?
I sometimes feel stats outside of Crit feel incredibly redundant.
It's not, but on jobs with a lot of OGCDs Dhit becomes noticably better than Det.
Not really. I meld ten because why not.
MCH, RPR and DRG = Crit > Det > DHit
PLD = Crit > DHit > Det
WAR = Crit > (SkS up to 2.45 or 2.40, if you can't reach these precise breakpoints then skip) > DHit
>picrel is where the post 6.0 EW peaked
how does this make you feel?
even a dumb joke delivered more than 4 patches of the devs bottom of the barrel plot
It's worrying when a character like Zero is better when she's just engaging in dumb fanservice shenanigans than in the actual serious plot advancing stuff.
I fricking hate Shadowbringers and Endwalker for bringing twitchkiddies here.
>tfw Y'shtola shrinks you
I really wish this artist would draw Shtola with smaller breasts.
He has drawn her with more accurate breasts before. Seems to be way too horny lately though. Or maybe he just keeps getting commissions for giant milkers, I can never tell when artists are drawing what they feel like or what they got paid to.
Huh, the dude does commissions? I thought he was patreon onry.
Patreon, comms, same shit to me. Payers paying so he draws what they want. Dunno how he runs his patreon.
belly button 🙂
who's the twintails one supposed to be?
Julyan maybe
Hildie's mom. Its supposed to be milf type women of XIV.
should I change it to completely white?
would be a bit plain
White would look better.
Some more clothes would also look even betterer.
>put more clothes

Put on clothes, woman.
Why would I discuss a dying shitty mmo?
Doe WoW have better waifus than XIV?
Nah.
I mean, there's characters like Alexstrasza or Tyrande who are hot, but it really doesn't matter how hot they are when their stories are comic book tier at best and utter fricking irredeemable mess at worst, and they barely even acknowledge the player character.
going by the amount of porn being done, yes
wow has hotter characters, basically no contest
but they have shit writing and the player doesn't exist as an actual entity in the story, so you don't get any chance to form an attachment like you do with ziv wives
>so you don't get any chance to form an attachment like you do with ziv wives
you don't get to in this game either because the canon character is not you. its some generic anime looking guy regardless of what you play. cringe
who cares about who the """canon character""" is? the characters respond to the character you made. you see everything happen with the character you made. as far as you're concerned the canon character doesn't exist. he is only an entity in trailers, in everything else it's all about (You).
>wow has hotter characters
lmao post them, please
If you want a waifu off FFXIV wins and it's not even close, pic related and it doesn't even include the waifu's of the Twelve like Nophica and Halone. Show me where WoW has a waifu who literally steps on you while having an after orgasm smoke we have Yotsuyu.
99% of people don't even know who those are
If you don't play the game, ofc they won't
you don't need to play tomb raider to recognize lara croft
yeah, you do
you don't see a random character you never heard of and instantly know their name
you do, if said character reached mainstream appeal, which none of the ffxiv characters have
people recognize tifa from ff, and that's about it
oh wow, you're literally comparing a nearly 30yo iconic video game character to another barely 1/3 its age in a niche game
i'm sure you feel pretty smart now
>barely 1/3 its age
that's 10 years. a decade. still nothing. cope however you want, i won't stop you
but there's more porn of shadowheart being done than ffxiv received in 10 years
and yet there still are people who don't know who lara croft is, despite the multiple remakes and movies
but, the bear fricking game? yeah, zoomers love that one
>People don't know ff14 characters
Meanwhile one of the most instantly recognizable characters in all of gaming. Don't need to know the name, but people know she's from that "FF14" game.
you're delusional. normies have no idea who the frick that is
The truth hurts you doesn't it Wowgay, why are you in a FF14 thread anyway? You don't play the game, you're mazed to WoW because you fell for the Streamer advertisement campaign like the weak minded moron you are, why are you here and not in Goldshire erping with your fellow futa lovers?
there it is. you got owned and now you're melting down
ask a normie who that is.
You didn't answer the question
you already melted down faster than butter, what is there to answer?
do what i said. show a normie a pic and ask them who that is
i bet you they can't even recognize the game shes from
Stop deflecting WoWgay, answer the question
can you keep the discussion on topic or are personal attacks the only thing you're capable of?
grow up.
>Still refusing to answer
Third time you've deflected the question
i don't understand why you're so angry.
its true. show a normie yshtola and they won't have a fricking clue who that is or from which game it is
show them tifa and they'll know its from final fantasy
or any overwatch character
or shadowheart from BG3
ffxiv hasn't reached mainstream appeal
>You don't play the game so why are you here and not in Goldshire erping with your fellow futa lovers?
Fourth time asking you, try your best this time WoW is your game but you're here talking with us FF14 lads.
>ffxiv hasn't reached mainstream appeal
cheers to that, i don't want normies infecting my new main mmo
>show them tifa and they'll know its from final fantasy
not a strong argument, tifa is a multimedia phenomenon after 26 years for good reasons
>or any overwatch character
only tracer and dva, thanks to the porn, rest are a bunch of nonames, coming from someone that hasn't played OW
>or shadowheart from BG3
she's popular now, but i only know here thanks to the threads here spamming her name with some porn.
idk if yshtola has reached mainstream appeal, and frankly don't care. the moment she does, people will ruin her. XIV has been great all these years thanks to its niche status. The moment it became wildly popular, the morons, normies, zoomies and trannies began to swarm the community
most of them running away from wow
Neither ysthola is troonyheart are mainstream you terminally online dipshit. Normalgay includes boomers on Facebook. Imagine asking your dad who troonyheart is.
>or shadowheart from BG3
Less than 5 mio copies sold.
can you stop being a backseat janny
people come to Ganker for reasons other than 100% strict gameplay discussion
if we wanted that we would go to reddit or discord, where there are people who are a tually good at the game
trying to force Ganker to be a gameplay discussion forum is missing entirely the point of Ganker
>ask a normie who that is.
You mean to say normies don't know about FFXIV?
Based to oblivion.
>although
I remember the time when WoW was stereotyped as a game of basement nerds. Apparently now it's on normie level of acceptable. WoW truly is dead.
>Doesn't play the game
>Doesn't know who they are
It's a real brain buster of a puzzle this one.
these look so bad
2 3 4 just look plain moronic. FAS faced morons with a sprinkle of down syndrome
5 has the bone structure of a man
6 is just a man
7 looks fricking ridiculous with his pencil neck and tiny head
9 looks dead
10 is a troon
don't even get me started on the disproportionality between limbs and the actual body
also what is up with everyone having giant hands? are they all plumbers or something?
no wonder nobody does porn of these characters because they're all hideous
>Didn't say anything bad about 8.
I will spare your life for now anon, but I'll let you know I don't appreciate you shittalking my fellow brothers in waifuhomosexualry.
1 and 8 are the only ones that don't look offensively bad
I respect your choices, but mentioning Lyse and Y'shtola reminds me of the time tumbler tried to push this ship.
Imagine having this shit of an opinion your WoW waifu a shit.
>waifus
>waifu's
Die.
waifu is
I've given long ago, especially when the normalgays jumped on the bandwagon and decided to call any character they want to frick "waifu"
Yotolo isn't someone's waifu, she is my waifu!
I just assume when people ask about "waifus" in a game in general, they really mean about the balance of how many girls there are who are attractive and have personalities one could feasibly fall for.
WoW girls definitely are attractive, but I seriously doubt anyone feels a genuine personal attachment the way one could feel attachment for Y'shtola, or Alisaie, or Venat, or etc. NPCs barely even realize you exist in WoW.
Y'shtola has this fricker, Alisaie the AuRa groomer and I think there is some dude commissioning Tataru porn on mass. Does WoW have any autists like this?
There's also some brown elezen guy who does that with Merlwyb.
I know because that case is stands out even more because literally no one fricking does Merlwyb stuff.
Assami... and probably a goatgirl (can't recall name) unless i'm faceblind
>Does WoW have any autists like this?
Oh boy. May I tell you the amazing, magical story of Worgenhard? It's not a tale the WoWgays would tell you.
>Oh boy. May I tell you the amazing, magical story of Worgenhard?
Please do anon.
Yeah. They have dozens of commissions of their OCs and have mental issues. See attached.
wow porn is like an industrial process for autism
Reminder that brown cat privated most of his stuff because some drama gays on xivg tried to dox him because he refused to erp with people there.
>xivg tried to dox him because he refused to erp with people there.
sounds pretty based ngl
wowgays are obsessed with futa so no
What the frick?
99% of Goatgirls art is futa mate
I don't know what to say to that, kinda gay that they love dick so much.
>"I need to make you us a sparring mammet."
>"Alright, going to be really difficult and expe--"
>"Also dress it like this!"
It can’t really be overstated. They are such futagays that they gaslit everyone including normalgays into accepting that all the females of a specific race have a penis by default.
they're fricking goats
you're a furry regardless of how you twist and turn it, drop the moral pretense Black person
wowgays are literally why futa is even a thing in the west
Dead game
I played A Realm Reborn and got bored.
Xeno btfo Zepla
qrd?
Irrelevant eceleb shit
Off topic
thread is dead without pornposting or ecelebs, just like the game
sounds pretty based of Baldman to mansplain and put hag in her place but that doesn't make the game good tho...
Zepla said game bad.
Baldman said game good.
Zivtroons consider this a win and are now worshipping baldman as their second god, after Lies of yoshi-P.
zepla reacted to bald saying that he liked the xiv wfr more
zepla took it as if the xiv wfr was better than the wow one and became overly defensive for nothing, shitting on xiv for no reason
bald reacted to that reaction and btfo her
she admitted being a dimwit on twitter afterward
the end
>another wahman throwing a fit because she misunderstandood
cringe
>bald mansplained and btfo hag
based
i mean the video is really cringe in the sense you feel the same pain the baldo one does
the drama train stopped once she loged off wow and regained some brain capacity
Zepla is running on the meta of "shitting on the game you played."
I still never understood why people like Zepla or watch her at all
She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
I love how she shits on the game for views and still has the BALLS to say "OUR GAME" literal scumbag I hope she dies
>She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
You described every xiv content creator.
>inb4 xeno or drak simps reply
Nah I also agree that Xeno isn't interesting, he has helpful videos on XIV but that's about it
The issue is his helpful vids are 80% him rambling instead of getting to the point. I still remember that E12SP2 vid on the sweet spots for the rotating aoes that could've been summed up in a minute and he stretches it out to 12 minutes because he has no concept of how to make quick visual guides.
But you're right.
theres no good xiv content creator
I liked larry I guess but he fricked off a long time ago and now is working on some indie game
Larry was pretty boring, but I did like how his last set of SB videos were just an excuse for him to flex all his UCOB weapons.
>She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
that's probably why she switched to wow
the moment she finished msq, she and later her audience realize she had the charisma of a smashed pigeon
TOP smashed her.
it's her fault, she stopped enjoying the game and made that cringe notebook
meanwhile baldo never gave up and kept progging even off stream. meanwhile zepla made it her main attraction
Baldo gave up real fast.
and then he cleared
9 months ago
Oh, wrong baldo. My apologies.
amongo? that guy can't even follow kmmo on screen prompts. he's a bigger shitter than zepla.
at least she was closer to get necromancer than him
wasn't that baldo filtered by gordias savage?
yeah, his ass was too heavy to carry
>filtered by gordias savage?
To be fair, most people who were proging gordias got filtered
Assmongo wasn't even able to clear the easiest Savage fight in the game without getting hard carried, of course that's not who we are talking about.
She was the only consistent FFXIV youtuber for like 5 years
>She was the only consistent FFXIV youtuber for like 5 years
happy, xeno, meownie, just to name a few
just because you only know the hag, doesn't mean there aren't more
>She does nothing interesting, she isn't entertaining, she is obnoxious and also she has shitty opinions
sounds like every streamer in existence
No he didn't. Reproduce this exact angle with an ultrawide fricking bald moron, not the angle that is convenient for you.
Also Unnamed was ahead because the other good teams weren't cheating after the DSR fiasco, call it cope but it's the truth.
>other teams weren't cheating
Neverland was lol. Guess who got second after Unnamed?
Proof?
they had live tracking on fflogs, a third party site that required the use of a third party addon that not only injects into the memory but also intercepts network packets from the game client, requires admin privileges and stops working if your internet goes down, basically the definition of malware
Has she finally fricked off from the game for good?
Level 25 shitter here, how far into the game do I run into this qt?
>>>/vg/
Remember to keep an eye out for the next round of Janny applications, anon! Surely you'll be picked this time!
Gonna start TEA in January lads, what am I in for
cancer
Most overrated ult.
as someone who has a job and has been trying to prog tea since october, get a static even if you have to force the schedule, pf will help you in off-hours but they take forever to fill, basically once you get to bjcc parties dry up and that's only phase 2 (or 3 for some)
it's a great ult, i'm enjoying it more than ucob but yeah i had to get a static to be able to prog consistently
look up your job's optimizations in the fight, everyone has a different opener for it and the fight is very muscle memory heavy (like uwu) you'll most likely have pulls that go a same way
there's a new tessan guide that is probably the best visual guide for tea
i don't think it's ultra hard
these guys are pretty great, and I dare say they're probably the only channel that puts effort in editing their vids to a decent level
sadly not many people watch them
I liked their stuff when they were going through SB and ShB. Did they finish EW yet?
Nope, just got to Elpis
Yeah I agree they're really stalling but I appreciate that they make a vid for every big event in the MSQ, I like this style of vids rather than streamers that rush through the whole MSQ and make like 1 vid summarising all of it
maybe cause they are milking it hard, like stupidly hard
a lot of people moved on, but their big moment streams have a lot of viewers
I don't know how they do it but they get around 3-5k viewers per FF14 stream, Youtubers > Twitch homosexuals
They only get that much with MSQ streams, their byakko extreme was like 2k ish
I'd rather watch blind MINE extremes than MSQ reacts and stalling.
One more month.

why are xivbucks so obsessed with the better game?
because endwalker is the shadowlands phase of ffxiv and we need the dragonflight expansion so we can be back for real this time because the devs are listening this time bro
Dunno what the problem of WoW players is with Shadowlands. At least that expansion felt like WoW. Had more things to do than Dragonflight too.
Wasn't that the expansion the gave birth to the "one patch one year" meme?
It's possible. First time I hear about the the meme though. I played Shadowlands 1 year after it was release. Didn't have that problem. I suppose Covid had a part to play in that.
>Wasn't that the expansion the gave birth to the "one patch one year" meme?
But enough about 6.x
That doesn't even make sense, moron.
Wait that meme started on Legion? I didn't know
A lot of memes. 1 year patch (wish I had that one punch man edit). No more x.3 patches. danuser's baby. the azem's crystal fiasco. the thancred/sylvannas fiasco. the sylvanas brap. the ysaile/haurchy/varian/saurfang fiasco. those /wowg/ months were great, I enjoyed every single minute of it
make your own thread omegalul
But FFXIV is my main MMO to play. I only go to WoW when I run out of things to do on FFXIV.
>I only go to WoW when I run out of things to do on FFXIV.
literally why? there are a bunch of good old and new single player games to play.
whenever i'm done with XIV, I pick something from my backlog, draw, read mangas.
I say this as an ex-wow player for more than 10 years. There's literally no reason for me to go back having played Legion, BFA, half of SL and one month of DF. I couldn't even finish that month. Gave up on the game 2 weeks in.
I also play single player games. Let me rephrase. I play WoW when I run out of things to do on FFXIV and don't have much in my backlog of games.
>whenever i'm done with XIV
so after 4 hours every patch?
depends of the patch. I still wanna reach lvl 25 series, get the full fending set from the alliance raid and that's it. I don't feel like doing savage tbqh
what do you call people who go to rome for vacation 1 week a year and only visit the tourist areas
posers
yep that's what people who think the only content ffxiv has to offer is the tourist attractions that are the shiny new dungeon (which you will do once), trial (which you will do once) and normal raid/alliance raid (which you can clear all in 4h or less)
silence tourist
nobody cares about pointless side content that is not even designed to be fun
if you only login to ffxiv every 4 months to do the insanely unchallenging tourist attractions you're not playing the game, you are consolming
mmos are about social interactions and communities
if you just login and never talk to anyone or interact with anyone, do you really think the rest of the players will respect you, especially once you demand the game change to cater your tourist ass?
yeah, it's basically what I'm saying
just doing msq and calling everything else "side content" just because you don't do it, it's beyond moronic
by that metric, in wow, anything beside capping level on my main character is side consent, including m+ cause I hate that shit.
I come to a game to play the game, not to roleplay as a troony au ra sucking wieners for gil
The only social interactions worthy of shit were bozja and especially eureka, but there's nothing like that in 6.x
>all the things listed here
finishing msq, doing EX, doing the alliance raid, reaching lvl 25 series, doing the amogus grind, and maybe some criterion...
in just 4 hours?

>roleplay as a troony au ra sucking wieners for gil

don't worry, golshire is waiting for you as well
>he's doing it for free
if you only do the braindead super easy normal mode dungeon trial and raid you're not playing the game mate
any long time ffxiv players don't consider you human
and they don't respect your opinion on content or lack of, job balance or anything else
>long time ffxiv players
are addicts and schizos, their opinion doesn't matter
ah yes let's listen to the opinion of someone who subscribed once every 8 months on how to balance jobs
most of you don't even know how to play your "main" job at a competent level
i doubt you are talking to a person who owns a xiv account
he's been parroting 2nd hand shit all this time.
he's the type of person that equates twitch views to playercount
he probably thinks he played xiv by just watching asmongold a long time ago and asmongold opinions are his by default
Meds
hit a nerve? thought so
Lmao ok bud
THIS IS MY WAR, kwab
Stay mad SE for-free shill

fricking kwab
>if you only do the braindead super easy normal mode dungeon trial and raid you're not playing the game mate
>any long time ffxiv players don't consider you human
It's true. And I love their reaction when I do something better than them. "Friendships" were lost this way, and it doesn't happen in FFXIV only.
>if you just login and never talk to anyone or interact with anyone
nobody in these threads has any friends in game. you don't interact with anyone past the hello and bye in your roulettes
that's why you post in every xiv thread, because the game is not capable of holding your attention for more than 5 minutes since there's frick all to do
>mmos are about social interactions and communities
This died when WoW came out. MMOs stopped being about that in that moment.
idk, everytime i whipped out the bard and starting playing songs in limsa, at least a handful of players /tell at me and a couple of them add me just they thought i was cool
granted, we rarely talk after the first interaction. but i'm always finding new people
The internet has a fundamental flaw that you can't make real friends out of it. Or maybe it is a human flaw, because people don't take relationships on the internet seriously on the get go. If someone gets an advantage by shitting on you, they will shit on you. The only antidote is if you actually manage to meet these people in real life.
not true, tho
Ihave friends since my ragnarok online era, more than 20 years now, and we still keep in touch.
we started with teamspeak2, now we are on discord
but just like with irl friends, family and career sometimes get in the way of keeping a friendship always active. that's just life
You're a lucky person then
>the only content ffxiv has to offer is the tourist attractions
Which is objectively correct. Cope.
yeah, it's been like this forever. you know what's coming on every patch, tehre are patch notes and everything
and people get shocked when they are done with msq and find themselves without anything else to do.
if you only care about MSQ, fricking news flash. resub at the end of each expansion.
if you resub every two months expecting new MSQ, you are not only doing it wrong, but your brain isn't properly working, pic related
New content? In MY outdated MMORPG? From a small indie company!? Pure heresy
idk man, i wanna be like you
finishing msq, doing EX, doing the alliance raid, reaching lvl 25 series, doing the amogus grind, and maybe some criterion...

Don't forget the ex trial every patch, savage raid every even patch, criterion dungeon on some patches and ultimate raid every odd patch except last.
Some of these are rather long rides.

it's never too late, anon. anyone can develop the knack for it.
with the AI boom, a lot of actual artists resumed art out of spite and continued out of love for the craft
like myself
And... Lastly D: I prefer FFXIV on almost every level, but there are some things on end content that I wish FFXIV would take from WoW. FFXIV could use a bit more polish on end content. And, despite FFXIV having an engine with better graphics, it could also learn a bit from WoW world building. Areas do feel more rich in WoW than they do on FFXIV.
oh, yeah, for sure, xiv isn't a perfect game, far from it
i just don't understand the mentality of switching from XIV to wow, when there are myriad of better options, objectively speaking
pretty much this. I have a huge fricking backlog, when I log off XIV I just play something from my backlog instead. I'm already wasting my time with one MMO. Why would I waste it even further with 2?
not only that, why waste time with an mmo with literally nothing new. like story beats and everything. they've been copypasting the same shit every expansion, just to retconing it whenever someone drinks breast milk or touches a troony?
at least the msq and the new jobs brings something new other than the maps, dungeons and characters
Wow this guy is a homosexual
Glad you join us gays here then.
because everytime a xiv thread gets made, a wowcuck comes here to post the same old twitter pics
it's not a secret anymore. no other mmo community feels as threatened as wow's regarding to XIV by just only existing
Which is fine. It's the natural order. wowfanbois only feel 10% less demorilized now thanks to metzen coming back so they feel they can try stomping other mmos like in the past. Thing is, Metzen won't make wow better. He's just as much of a token hire as the trannies wasting Blizzard's money
Been unsubbed for a month, how's it going? Still nothing of value to return for?
Most of this thread is waifuhomosexualry, eceleb discussion, and b***hing about WoW. Does that answer your question?
January when
i mean, patch notes and the lodestone are there. nothing will be implemented without being announced.
not your best bait, but at least made me reply
why are they such good healers
I wouldn't know because I've never taken notice at all of what my healers are doing (why yes I play WAR and PLD, how did you know?).
But I have taken notice that they're godawful tanks and dps.
horth are almost always garbage players regardless of what they're playing lmfao
I need more drama

I'd rather play a different game entirely than force myself into activities I detest
>I'd rather play a different game entirely than force myself into activities I detest
exactly, that's the whole point
you play things you enjoy. and if you stop enjoying it, stop playing.
but also, just because you don't enjoy them, doesn't mean others won't as well. that's a narrow definition of "content"
I'll never stop shitting on people justifying the state of the game and Yoshida doing absolutely nothing about it
Yoshida says the data is good. You are wrong and he is right.
>I'd rather play a different game entirely than force myself into activities I detest
This is entirely different from the:
>Game is dead because it's full of activities I detest
Grind is not an activity
I'm unsubbed
Then why are you playing xiv if you hate it?
I'm not, I'm playing wow. I tried free trial and gave up because I won't be forced to read walls of text and watch the same "blah blah" + /nod cutscenes so I formed my opinion based on what I saw on the internet
I like this cat because she makes my pp hard and I don't care about her character/personality because I ain't reading any of the shit writen and I skip all cutscenes
>assmongo shows up in XIV streams every now and then to this day
what is up with that homosexual?
does he really have nothing better to do?
He still does? Why? He never even finished the damn game. What could he possibly have to say that anyone could care about?
>He still does?
yes. he was on some random bug femoid's stream a few days ago
Why?
ask him
he's waiting for the moment it'll be profitable to supposedly return because of DT and farm some viewers. i doubt he'll be back but i'm sure he'll do a stream with the title "back to ff14 maybe" and not actually playing any game but react to vids.
