Frustrating mahjong
he's asking about the free trial morons
your mom asked about this dick
yeah, because it was so small it she couldn't tell that you were naked
Can you not play Mahjong on the free trial?
You can. People legit download the free trial just because the in-game Mahjong is better than most online Mahjong games.
this
japs love that shit, they all play either xiv or majsoul
So, how active is the Mahjong scene in FFXIV? I have no idea about Mahjong scenes online or offline.
I don't know if there are any NA servers with a lot of Mahjong players, but a few of the JP servers are known to have quite a few. If you're really serious about playing Mahjong, you'll probably want to make a character on a JP data center to reduce queue times.
wait, na players play on jp?
what's the ping like?
Playable if you've got lower standards. Doesn't matter if you're only playing for Mahjong on JP. Ping 124.150.157.158 to see your connection to Elemental
You can create a character on any data center you want. You can also transfer between data centers and servers in the same region any time you want for free. You can't transfer from JP to NA or anything like that though.
>what's the ping like?
ping? what's that?
Alex helps with weaving but you still have to react faster to things like AoEs with higher pings, though to be honest i've yet to see something that feels hard to do even playing with a constant 200ms ping.
but how long does it take to get there though?
You just have to unlock the Gold Saucer, so level 15.
Level 15 and about just as many MSQ missions done. So a chill evening if reading, 30-45 minutes if speeding.

Kino story with a somewhat rushed yet still sovlful ending and lots of fun content along the way and maybe if you're lucky, friends
Why do people keep saying Endwalker's ending is rushed?
they're soeed-reading wowfugee secondaries
and parrots
i don't know, personally i thought it was pretty long if anything
Because yoshi literally said the original plan was a garlemald expansion tha they condensed into the final days because they worried that garlemald wouldn't be enough for a full expansion and that anima was the planned final boss for 6.0
thank god they didn't. imagine the garlemald zone stretched out into 3-4 zones
only because they blew all the interesting garlemald plot points on shb patch content
Anima's the only thing I feel was a waste about how Garlemald got condensed, a super-primal as a dungeon boss is anticlimactic
it's much better this way. garlemald expansion would have been stormblood all over again, a whole lot of zones to tell very little plot.

Half the final bosses in FF are random apocalypses out of nowhere, eg Zeromus and Cloud of Darkness. It's a series tradition. Don't get upset that Zodiark is just another Xande.

Blue birds are totally unrealistic in my fantasy game called final fantasy. It's not that blue birds are real or something, right?
She just talks like average twitter users of depression ,kill themselves and life is not worth it she ven has a network of clone sisters and night mode by turning black except the skin
that's pretty much all FF stories moron
stop talking as if you've been around
The final days should've been a cataclysm, not shit that was caused by le berb.
Meteon was a giant asspull.
What happened to that plot point about the aether leylines or whatever it's called being messed up anyway?
you mean the whole "thinning aether" thing that happened in the lead-in to shadmanbringers? because I think that was the asians trying to rejoin the First
No, I remember something about the Ancients pre-Endwalker investigating some kind of weakening aether leyline thingy and were theorising that it was the cause of the Final Days
oh
no they were just wrong about that and it was secretly the aspie bird all along
Yeah I know, but I remember it still being a cause for concern or something, think even Y'shtola mentioned it.
the thinning aether was what allowed dynamis to flood into the planet and cause the final days, which is why they summoned zodiark to keep the aether flowing all over the planet
So is the thinning aether still a problem?
Yes, zodiark literally fixes the problem
>filtered by a bird
OHNONONO AHAHAHAHAA
At the end of the day, FFXIV is just a shounen story so it was fitting
It's literally Camus and filters midwits
Not sure about the ending itself, but all those important narrative points (Hermes, Meteion, Dyamis) had almost no build-up and just dropped out of nowhere. The so called End of Days was hardly impactful with the exception of Thavnair and Garlemald was just too simple and straight-forward (despite the nice story) for how anticipated it was
Yoshi himself said it was intended to be two expansions after all (pre and post moon) and it shows
>and just dropped out of nowhere
just like most other FFs
as someone said it's a good thing
we don't need a Stormblood in Garlemald
>dynamis
>dropped out of nowhere
Confirmed speedreader
The biggest speedreading test is the color of WoL's soul being relevant when that shit popped up in Alchemist quests all the way back in HW and SB
where's the guy who thinks that the DRK questline was dynamis foreshadowing, I wanna laugh at him again
Because we didn’t spend 10 gorillion hours listening to garleBlack folk call us imperialists
the ending has no soul the fist fight is just a lame copypaste of mgs4 with the commedy effect if you play as lalafell
the only soul in all of endwalker is zenos calling (you) a pussy for taking any of this seriously
the rest of it is typical jrpg schlock
Well you're not in for any difficulty.
go at your own pace, explore and your starting race doesn't affect gameplay
Pretty slow start MMO with good worldbuilding. Huge love letter to FF6 in tone except its setting is actually interesting unlike FF6. Later on it spins off to FF4 and FF5 in tone more.
funny, i liked 4 5 and 6 more than 3 but thought it had loads more nods to ff3. i can see 6 being about equal but 3 and 4 seemed like a here-and-there thing.
the limitations of the free trial (to my knowledge) is such:
・You can't use the market or trade between other players
・You can't access any post level 60 content (only base game and Heavensward)
・You can't buy player-owned property, not even a shitty apartment because your money is capped at 300,000
・You can't add people to friends (this one confuses me the most lol)
・You can't use the party finder at all, only default queuing for you!
・You can't whisper chat (Tell) or map chat (shout)
you DO however, get the privilege of playing the game without paying a single cent, albeit on a weird ironman mode (though dying is okay)
i recommend playing for free as long as possible, then if you're sold once you reach the end of of Heavensward, you can buy it if you want, but keep in mind that once you do you will never be able to play for free ever again.
There's a reason they don't charge you for the first 50 hours. It's really slow paced. Don't rush through it, talk to people and NPCs, and figure out how to play your job.
just please don't become one of those people that still doesn't know how to do your rotation or move out of the way of attacks after your 200 hours in. Please
An extremely casual game with a pretty good plot and a very-circlejerky-but-overall-nice community. Relax and enjoy the ride or you WILL burn yourself out, the endgame is by far the weakest part of the game.
>the endgame is by far the weakest part of the game
Could you elaborate more on that?
The main hardcore endgame is raiding which is four fights every six months or so and raiding is very intense pattern memorization shit but there's intentionally not much in the way of rewards (just dyeable versions of the normal mode gear and one mount) so most players don't bother to do it
Why bother repeating overglorified trialfights all weeks when you can curbstomp it in the next expansion with 8 warriors lvl100 artifact gear and get the same rewards as day one
Is the png a meme of the hair grow internet shit that makes you bald or in this case makes you unable to wear hat?
Raiders literally cannot be made happy even going back to EQ.
>raids are glorified DDR with no replay value outside of parsing
>dungeons are boring hallways with no replay value whatsoever

They made the huge mistake of listening to the *literal* troony raider crowd. People might not know it, but classes back in ARR and HW were pretty different from each other, having some pretty unique stuff. This has completely been stomped out because the most vocal people, above mentioned trannies, were participating in so called 'Speed Kill Parsing', meaning you want to kill encounters as fast as possible and getting the biggest numbers, Turns out some classes had extremely good synergy with each other (I believe it was NIN, DRG, MCH, BRD because DRG buffed pierce damage while NIN profited from the slashing damage the WAR would do, while taking care of enmity during pulls/adds). This meant, for all of HW they could only play these classes and cried endlessly about it. Add shit like "World First Race" on twitch and the devs probably figured that raid trannies are the be all end all for class design.
Forward a few expansions and no class has anything unique to it any more. It is all 2 minute burst window, everyone has one big, generic group buff, jank like DRG jumps actually nailing you in place, requiring some kind of fight awareness are gone and guess what, to everyone's surprise, raid trannies are STILL NOT HAPPY, because turns out, if you chop any synergy away from the classes, they will just default to whatever makes the biggest numbers. XIV is a really comfy game, but holy crap the class design is at its worst right now.
>people are actually happy MNK got some positionals removed
this is what I can't understand
it's easy to understand, earlier chakras and the blitz system make up for it
Positional sucks thats it and if you re roleplaying a class centered about punching a lot and fast that breaks the pacing however how much extra true north has
positionals are fricking boring
Blitz makes up for it homosexual, what do you not get? you're starting to make me think MNKs are ungrateful homosexuals if your major sticking point is fricking rear flank positionals.
You could literally be MCH right now.
I will take literally any iteration of Machinist that is not Stormblood's Machinist.

>Start leveling an ARR job

I love the hunt log so much. I wish they would do it for every job.
they canned it because all post arr content jobs don't start from level 1 and also they can't be arsed to
Pretty promising start in terms of rpg and player choice until level 15 where MSQ turns into garbage for the rest of the game that isn't worth playing or paying for. You could watch the MSQ on YouTube and you won't miss out on playing the game since there's hardly anything to play. All side content also relies on interacting with sparkles and menus. Good luck.

Good presentation
Nice music
Some memorable characters
A few fun to play jobs/classes
Good story with some great moments but a hit or miss ending
Sterile endgame
I'll be honest with you. The first 100 will be a complete slog. The game is very, VERY slowpaced, and it's a necessary evil for achieving the desired effect. At 50h you might feel somewhat disappointed. Irritated even. That's normal. Keep pushing, and the game will reward you for your patience.
Just keep on winning
They aren't wrong. NA servers are cancer, but EU and JP are very comfy.
EU isn't comfy at all.
OCE is just as shitty.
JP is the only decent one.
I dunno anon, I'm hangin out on chaos constantly and it's very comfy.
>OP asking about trial experience

Jesus Christ, I just did the "revampled" Thornmarch. I can't believe they turned it into such streamlined garbage.
nobody did any mechanics in the original for a very long time
now it serves to show sprouts what markers do what
At least the option was there for a fun fight for people interested in the game. The new version is just so unbelievably stale.
do EX then moron. its still the same
That's a relief. IL-scaling certainly fricked it up, but if it's just the story mode, I guess it's fine having such an underwhelming fight.
how underwhelming it was didn't change
The latter half is literally just standing there smacking the king with one AOE to dodge.
just like the old fight
Okay then play the EX version which wasn't changed, you're weeping bitter tears for the glory of uhhh Thornmarch Normal.
NOOOOO ALL OF THE MECHANICS NOBODY DID ARE GONE NOW!!!! NOW IT'S A FRICKING TUTORIAL FOR LATER GAME MARKERS!!!! YOSHIDA!!!!! YOU SOLD OUT!!!!
with the story changes it's now the first required 8 man that new players ever do
the original was simultaneously a total joke and a wipefest if your tanks didn't know what was going on, the new run is at least a proper intro to "hard" content
What? The old version was fricking garbage.
You morons really will complain about anything.
>New Thornmarch is the first time sprouts see a Dual Tank Buster
>never see it again for several expansions
What did they mean by this?
A community that takes great pride in being awful at the game.

Cataclysm - Mists of Pandera era WoW except you play as a catboy who has to complete a mandatory questline to progress which is about how you're the chosen Warrior of Light, the ONLY one who can save the world from the Darkness aside from the literal million other Warrior of Light chosen ones you're playing with, but please ignore that and focus on our blatant singleplayer game plot
Some highlights:
>The only difference between races are extremely minor differences starting stats that will be immediately eclipsed by gear, no racials, no unique starting zones, no unique quests
>there are separate starting zones, but they're based on your starting class for some inexplicable reason
>there ARE class quests, but they explain next to nothing about your class as they almost all immediately veer into some bullshit "plot"
>all beginning quests are either go talk to some dude or kill exactly 3 enemies and/or collect exactly 3 items. The latter are very rare, the vast majority of quests are going to talk to some dude
>fast travel everywhere
>flying mounts everywhere (in a game that not only has zero verticality and thus has zero reason to have flying mounts in the first place other than copying WoW, but one that's also segmented into tiny zones instead of being seamless so you have to fly your mount into the little instance portals at the edges of the map to go anywhere, instantly shattering the game's illusion)
>practically non-existent group mechanics, all mechanics and challenge are with the bosses and parties will regularly aggro all the trash mobs in the entire fricking instance up to the boss room and AoE them all down, and they all stick to the tank like glue because enmity (this game's version of threat) is hilariously overtuned, though this is true in most modern MMOs.
>Open world enemies are not a threat in the slightest, you might be slightly challenged by some of the dumbass dynamic events that pop up if you're solo
>no racials
thank fricking god
I know right? I saw separate races I could choose from and had the horrifying realization that I might be playing an RPG. Thank you, Square Enix, for making sure that this wasn't the case. Good heavens, that was terrifying.
stop while you're ahead, it's very blatant you're comparing it to WoW by moaning the lack of racials
WoW isn't the only game that has racials.
it's the only game in the past 20 years that's had any kind of racial skills that matter
i will not tell you again: stop while you're ahead
>it's the only game in the past 20 years that's had any kind of racial skills that matter
You sure about that?
don't try to reason with mmotards, anon
they only understand the world through the lens of my game>your game
Which tabletop ruleset does that one lift, again? I forget whether it was 3E or 5E. Either way kinda cheating to point to it as an example of such racials much unique when it's lifting the rules for a tabletop game.
I'm sorry, anon. I realize it's completely unfair to compare FFXIV to an RPG.
I asked which D&D edition it lifted its rules from, not "hey what's your laziest comeback"
It's not from D&D, it's from Pathfinder. Admittedly, Pathfinder's original ruleset was largely lifted from 3.5.
ew 3.5E
I don't care about your argument but this is the most obvious samegay I've seen in a while
Senpai?
>takes a screenshot to try to prove anon wrong
>makes a really obvious edit
inspect element is higher effort than clicking a checkbox in Ganker x, credit given where credit is due
Sure, but why would you take a screenshot with an obvious edit in it? That completely destroys the purpose of using a screenshot.
racial/faction abilities are a cornerstone of entire genres
nobody would ever play an RTS where every team gets the exact same units, that would be boring
or imagine pokemon without type weaknesses
or MTG without mana colors
half the reason Planetside 2 and Tribes were kill is because of the devs removing faction diversity
Unfortunately we're talking about MMORPGs where racial abilities have a totally different context than they do in strategy games or turn-based RPGs or outright FPS games
I know, it's one of the many things to be sacrificed so the spergs don't hurt themselves
my point is that wowo wawa didn't invent racial skills
although at this point I kinda have to give wow credit, it's one of the only MMOs with the balls to try and leave at least some RPG flavor intact
Most modern MMO players want to be a a formless damage turret that makes meaningless numbers go up and get very upset if you try to make their game more like an RPG.
at this point I'm pretty sure you could just put an idle clicker game in VRchat and it would steal 90% of the modern MMO audience
>game has to wholesale lift a board game for its rules to have racial skills that are good
Games suck at being DMs btw.
Not that Anon but Tera had some neat racial too.
Everquest and FFXI were both better and more complex RPGs than your blizzslop and neither of those games had racials.
How WoW treated the races was one of the things they got right, because that makes their MMORPG more of an RPG.
>How WoW treated the races was one of the things they got right
Ah yes, make racials of one faction dogshit and the racials of the other best for both pvp and pve. Excellent treatmaent. Fricking kek, have a nice day you moron.
FFXIV is built so any character can play any class, if you had racials people would freak the frick out if you racials didn't properly align with your class. So frick that garbage.
Used to be you were, objectively, a better Black Mage if you played a Lalafell BLM. This sucked for a lot of reasons
Well I mean that's still true but just not for gameplay reasons.
Wrong, roegadyn and highlanders can work the caster robes and serve c**t harder than any Lalafell. By Allah, you will taste my shoe.
Two feet high and full of smug is the ideal Black Mage form, I will brook no disagreement
By virtue of their starting racial stats alone, Hellsguard Roe are one of the best healer.
Shouldnt be sea wolf with the piety and mind bonus start?
Nope, I know lore wise Hellsguard are the creator of WAR and everything but Sea wolf have the most STR while Hellsguard have the INT and especially MND.
Tarutaru, and by extension Lalafells, were conceived to emulate the original Black Mage sprite. So they're objectively the best, even if we still don't get the yellow eyes.
>ONE SINGLE HAT THAT HAS THE CLASSIC BLACK MAGE GLOWING EYE LOOK
>Stuck with a fricking Santa Claus beard on it
I know its the dwarf thing but come the frick on give me a version without the beard
Racials are trash and they don't fit the game design of being able to play every job in the same character. Picking a race and class combo you tough were cool, just to hear later that you made the wrong choice, even before you started the game, is annoying as hell
I've seen some moronic takes, but this one sure takes the cake.
You guys say that for every criticism of FFXIV. That or people got "filtered" by the game being boring.
Don't bother with arguing. They are in cult status.
i found ARR to be absolutely boring
combat is boring because not enough oGCDs on most classes
story was boring because 'muh worldbuilding' takes 90% of MSQ
ERP was kinda boring
You are in for the best FF waifu. Pic related, accept no imitations.
>Trolls will be ignored.
Why does this game make Ganker so upset?
What’s your theory, anon?

yeah, it was wow for the past 20 years
and it's xiv now
it's still annoying, and as someone who plays both I know goddamn well it's the exact same people
>making it impossible to discuss any other game in the genre
Go on then.
Make a thread for your MMO.
XIV isn't why your threads die.
>nobody wants to talk about my game
>REEEEE THIS IS ALL FFXIV'S FAULT
Yeah I dunno I remember every time trying to talk about lineage or tera that a horde of greasy unwashed wowgays come up with BRO UR GAME LOOKS LIKE SHIT COME PLAY WOW 10 TRILLION PLAYERS
Though xivgays are very quickly turning into that, but that might just be the wow refugees.
>making it impossible to discuss any other game in the genre
What discussion? There is no real MMO discussion on this board. The only 2 MMOs that get discussed on Ganker are either FFXIV, wich is mostly waifu/husbando posting, and WoW, wich is just people shiting on the game and on Blizzard. Every discussion about any other MMO either dies by lack of interaction or they end up becoming a MMO general filled with boomers talking about how the genre is dead.
The 200 hours of cutscenes filter most players. Not that I blame them for quitting, it's a miserable slog through poorly written, unvoiced dialog. But beyond that hell lies an actual game with real gameplay that most people don't get to see
>poorly written
>New world and lost ark are civiliced when it was shilled as wow killers

Whole bunch of people targeting it nost of the time.
The absolute funniest thing about this game is how between its existence and WoW tailspinning, it lobotomized /wowg/ and they all openly praise "OG" and shit on the janitor when he tries to rerail a thread
So how are WoWgays feeling about their new expansion? I haven't been keeping up with the receptuin surrounding it so far.
Total indifference and open suspicion and derision of the dragon race + its exclusive class. It was noticed pretty quick that the dragon race's human form looks suspiciously like Au Ra
it ranges from very cautious optimism to schizo troonyposting
there isn't much hype because shadowlands was such a dumpster fire
i resubbed, tried out prepatch, tried out the beta pretty extensively, and didn't renew my sub. the expansion is so barebones that the ui and profession reworks are features. you honestly have to be permanently mazed to want to play at this point.

Are they still doing the single player version?
Genuine question, what is the point of overworld mobs in FFXIV?
There isn't one. Just like the overworld itself.
Stuff to get in the way for FATEs, populate the overworld, and (as of later Stormblood) chaff for Blue Mage to kill for new spells.
At one point in the game's lifecycle it was probably not the worst idea in the world to kill overworld mobs to gain EXP but that's long been eclipsed by everything else. BLU still does because of how the class works. And it's a way to get specific materials without having to go into instances if you're into that crafting shit.
>At one point in the game's lifecycle it was probably not the worst idea in the world to kill overworld mobs to gain EXP
Only in 1.0. Overworld enemies have never been viable for exp after ARR launched because FATEs were meant to replace that.
At one time overworld mobs also slowed gatherers down since you used to not be able to move at full speed while steath'd
To not make the overworld a walking simulator until you unlock flying
you'll be bored. the only way you will enjoy it is if you've been playing many final fantasy games growing up and have massive nostalgia for it.
Outdated game designed by Japanese business men stuck in the past. There is a reason why a huge part is filled with roleplayers. Also the combat is very clunky
Just play pic related.
>just play my korean skinnerbox #154315
No. This is a game israelited out so hard you need to buy fricking slots for collectibles that do not impact your performance in game in any way.

Yes these are tiny problems if they can be fixed with few patches. Sadly the koreans arent very smart about that. FF14's combat is flawed at its core. To fix that you need to redo the game from scratch.
holy frick dude i dont care about xiv. i dont play xiv. amazon isnt going to fix bots. new world also has a bot problem, but nobody gives a shit about that game and their economy has been fricked from exploits from the beginning. lost ark is fricked. it's fine if you're a moronic frick that spends money on it but don't act like that game is good at all in comparison to any other dogshit mmo on the market.

Kneel before your god.
it's VERY story heavy
even if you were to skip every single cutscene it takes something like 72 hours (probably even more) to reach the main content
level barely matters the first time you play, everything is locked behind the main quest
90% of the main quest is watching cutscenes (not all are voiced), the rest is doing dungeons to progress through the story
a shit slow intro and lame worldbuilding until heavensward
garland being chaos is still the best story reveal in final fantasy history, its so simple and yet elegant

I honestly liked ARR, but I did quit back in 2016.
The new ARR is much less of a slog. Post-ARR isn't as bad as people made it out to be. I honestly felt parts of Stormblood were worse, because of how good HW's pacing was. You literally collect shit in Stormblood. I think the devs were taking the piss.

This is not a troll, but I may have a spicy take or two.

Good mix of up and down stories. Investment may depend on how much you get into your character.

Serviceable enough but they recently went back and simplified a bunch of classic dungeons that had cool mechanics and turned them into generic ones.

>Savage

>Ultimates

>Everything else
PvP is horrible (all 3 modes) but the rewards are good.
Glam system is horrible but the potential is good.
Side areas like Eureka and Bozja are the best content in the game.
More or less, you'll end up standing around looking for loose anime girls to ERP with.
What good rewards come from PvP?
Seal Rock gives a really nice glam that casuals won't ever get.
Various Frontline milestones give a horse depending on your nation state (you can get all 3 by changing) and 3 Allagan nodes.
Crystalline Conflict (formerly The Feast) gives a miniature airship.
Rival Wings gives 2 mecha gorillas.
They're not easy to get but they're not super hard either, just have to not be a shitter.
There are some cool titles too, but they require things like "kill 10,000 people in PvP" and stuff like that.
There's also the new "series" rewards which give you a 1-30 assortment of good and useful one-time rewards which include mounts, glam, emotes and whatever else.
Thanks, only ever bothered with it for leveling
>Mounts
>Ingame with almost zero worthwhile overworld content where everyone just idles and queues for content in town
3 variations of Orb
3 horses (6 if you add the 3 garou collab mounts)
2(?) mecha gorillas
1 good mount mecha/armor
At least this pvp series had a dragon mount which is different than whatever we got so far
WHAT?! That dragon mount fricking sucks, literally just a reskinned mob, looks like complete shit. At least the boat is kinda cool
Meh, mounts are literally the only barometer for any skill in the game even if you can only use one at a time and outside of towns.
The sheer variety of content you get them from means you can instantly tell if someone is a shitter or new or wastes time ERPing.
Having too much free time on your hands =/= skill
I agree, but it's not as simple as that.
I started playing last year and I have more mounts than my friend who's been playing since 2.0.
The difference is that I'm a lot more willing to throw myself into difficult content, so I have all the raid mounts they don't. I invited them to join me every time, but they always said "but what if it's different to the normal raid?"
So I got it done and they didn't.
I got all the PvP mounts and they didn't. They play all day every day and I take breaks every few patches. I might be wrong, and I'm happy to agree to disagree, but in my personal experience, it's about dedication and willingness to experiment.
Doesn't particularly mean anything other than they don't prioritize cosmetics

Yup, good old Barry. Haven't seen him in /wowg/ lately I was wondering how they're doing
It fricking sucks
T. Anon that fell for "it gets good after 100 hours of boring MSQ shit"
Barryposting?
Every day im glad im not a schizo who obsesses about a game he doesn't like.
None of the people who complain about XIV class design or raids in these threads raid. The raid content is good, class design is shit but it's shit because the devs are lazy and they are making everything a carbon copy of each other with burst on 2 minutes so they have easier time designing encounters. It has nothing to do with casuals or raid trannies, well outside of healers being lobotomized. Just lazy japs.
I raid and I fricking hate it.
Raiding is awful horseshit. Class design is shit not because of balance but because you have no agency; you HAVE to do your specific boring dance routine every time. There is no variation in high-end content, you either do it "properly" or you don't clear it. That's why it's shit.
Compare it to something like Souls or Monster Hunter where you can use one of of a billion different weapons and still win in PvP or kill Apex Rajang in 1:40.
It's a theme park, not an MMO.
And of course, you have sunk cost fallacy out the ass because it takes you weeks to learn the latest dance routine and have to justify spending all that time.
If you want variable strategy they need to make it less hard, then your peers complain about it being less easy. Razor thin margins are a product of difficulty designs.
In wow your strategy will change significantly based on your composition and gear level. In ffxiv both these things are basically normalized. It has nothing to do with difficulty, it has to do with the fact ffxiv isn't really an RPG.
Don’t care, frick off to your wow thread
I don't play wow
Lying Black person
I used to, what difference would it make if it did?
Yeah it's the Game part.
>Yeah it's the Game part.
In wow? Don't you mean Gamble part?
No that's the "fun" part, I'm sorry you take your video games so seriously you can't handle a little bit of RNG.
Little bit it's ok. Heck even a bit more it's ok, but watching hardcore / professional raiders wasting a day farming for 1 piece of gear for 0,1% extra damage just to defeat a boss before another team does sounds moronic.
>little bit of RNG.
i wish it was a little. One of the most annoying aspects of raiding in WoW is killing the boss and get trash as your reward because there is no way to target a specific loot. WoW gear is really fun and interesting, but it's ruined by one of the most RNG bullshit loot systems I ever saw, that has no other purpose outside of making players go back to the raid next week.
They added a system where if you killed 20 raid bosses you could pick any item from the raid at that difficulty. And it completely sucked almost all the fun of the game. What's the point of even looting the bosses, so you can get your bis weapon a week earlier? Like I said, I don't play it any more, it's now targeted at the sheltered "I need everything" weirdos who throw a tantrum if they get their bis weapon a week later than someone else.
If people quit the game the moment they get the BIS item they wanted, that looks like a problem with the game, not players. Maybe having the entire game revolving around a endless treadmill of killing raid bosses for purples pixels wasn't a good idea.
Reading comprehension, I quit (in small part) because the game started handing out bis items for free and everything felt worthless (not that it didn't already). Not because I got my bis item.
>the game started handing out bis items for free and everything felt worthless
You feel that way because searching for BIS is pretty much the gameplay loop of WoW. If everyone can get it easy then there is no point for raiding, and no point for the game itself.
What I was saying with my post is that the real problem isn't people being able to get loot easily, but the fact that if you remove the gear chasing out of WoW there is almost nothing left to do.
>if you remove the gear chasing out of WoW there is almost nothing left to do
if you remove the gear chasing from wow you have ffxiv
You don't see people from FFXIV complaining when the devs dimished the amount of tokens need for certain piece neither making claims that it made raiding worthless. That is because FFXIV doesn't revolve around raids and people have diferent types of content to do in order to pass the time and feeling that there isn't anything worth doing anymore.
>composition
Addons and plugins I assume
>gear level
Too focused on that imo, based on what I saw on the latest RWF (inb4 LiQUIT)
>Addons and plugins
I'm talking about what classes and even how many healers vs. how many dps.
>Too focused on that imo
Well yeah, RPGs aren't for everyone
RNGbased grinding relentlessly for gear isn't a Role you Play in a RolePlayingGame...
Unless the R in RPG means Repetition
most likely it means "moronic"
>hes actually trying to argue like wows gearing system is a positive and what makes it an rpg
You mean wow/ffxiv's gearing system? Because the tier system, where all your gear and progress gets wiped out next patch, is the literal cancer of the MMO genre and was started by wow and double downed on by ffxiv. Not that it doesn't have merits, but at this point I just hate it.
>double downed on by ffxiv.
Xiv is literally known among the genre for being extremely easy to path out and attain bis in a relatively short amount of time. but you are right otherwise.
>if you remove the gear chasing out of WoW there is almost nothing left to do.
That's fine because most wow and MMO players play with the main goal of being as strong as possible, or at least collecting achievements which prove/require strength. The problem is once you've played through a couple tiers you realize gear chasing in wow feels like absolute shit, because nothing lasts.
>If everyone can get it easy
What I want is exactly the opposite
It should take years to achieve bis.
Right, so this puts wow in a wierd limbo of taking a long time to get gear AND its completely meaningless. xivs content focuses more around doing the fights themselves, hence the gearing being mere lip service progression.
So doing the content is bad because it didn't took ypu years to get meaningless bis?
It takes like 3 weeks to be basically bis in wow. But you can see how making gear hard to get wouldn't make it any more satisfying as long as the tier system exists.
what’s the alternative, you gear up once and then never have to loot an item again the rest of your play time? sounds like a great way to kill a subscription based game
>Game's only purpose is BiS so if and when you get it you can unsubscribe
I'm not a game designer so I don't claim to know how to implement a solution, but my take on it isn't invalid either. There must be a middle ground between "make it piss easy" and "make it literally a dance routine".
>What am I in for?
utter fricking trash that is ARR for 80 hours
then ~30 hours of badly paced HW kino
after you finish HW you basically saw everything good about the game, later expacs are kinda meh
Not much of a game unless you seek out challenges or grind yourself, but a long ass TV series of a game with strong and weak episodes.

Do you really need to know how full your inventory is in the middle of battle
Do you really need your gay gunblade gauge in the center of the screen
Do you really need your exp bar in such a prominent location at max level
If it were me I'd make the "target charging move" bar really big and in the middle so I don't miss it
I use a cross hotbar too so I divide certain types of skill to the left or right
Door bosses are fricking cancer. Just make a fifth floor exclusive to savage you moronic japs.
what does door boss mean
mini boss before actual boss fight
In ms cases 1st form boss > checkpoint > 2nd form boss
Theyre kino. You make it seem like door bosses aren't real bosses with their own mechanics.
First phase of boss followed by checkpoint, followed by final phase boss who just went through a transformation
Door bosses are cool presentation wise but they're aids to prog through plus we end up with two half assed fights instead of one well designed longer fight. Titan was the best final floor fight in eden exactly because of that.
why not just consider them the same fight with a checkpoint?
>checkpoint
Because turbo autist lose their shit with anything thats not masochist design. Like with dsr checkpoint
why not consider floor 1 and floor 2 the same fight with a checkpoint?
because its two different individuals in two different areas seperated by the meta concept of them being on two different instances
p8s p2 is a different individual and area than p1
O11 and O12 are the same individual in the same are.
there's also time and distance separating them
its the same guy
Because they're wildly different fights with completely different mechanics, unlike something like E8S where the special final phase still kept mechanics from the first phase and didn't have a checkpoint because the devs saw it all as a single fight.
Door bosses don't expand on the previous phase, they just give you a new boss with new mechanics. Compare to something like Nael or Brute Justice where the final phases are a ramping up of things you saw earlier with a few new tricks thrown in.
so if a boss stops using a mechanic at some point in the fight its a new fight?
If they totally stop using any of their previous mechanics, change their form, change the arena, and you don't have to fight the previous form again from that point forward then it's a new fight.
Door bosses are shit. Its cool like maybe the first time and after that is just annoying

True, an MMO shouldn't have hard to obtain or valuable things in it. You got me.
There is no reason for any mount to have less that 1% drop chance. There should also be a pity system were each time you fail, you get a token that can be traded by the mount if you do it enough times.

72 zodiark ex clears and no mount but i know i'll can buy it when i get 99 tokens but for another anon that's bad...
That's not bad at all
The real issue is that the mount sucks dick
>clearing zodiark 72 fricking times
Get a job/have sex/kys.
Former wow player. Can't be satisfied with less than 50 clears on the same content. Plz understand
The fight has been available for 11 months and 2 weeks.
Yeah and I'm sure when you get it on the 95th clear it will feel fricking great. It won't.
As a mindbroken wowbuck, I advise you to discard those 72 tokens because it's not fun to use 99 of them to buy the mount you want but instead waste your life betting on RNG to get it. RNG is part of MMORPG so it's more fun this way and it takes skill to be that moronic
>buy mount with 99 totems
>use it once
>maybe add it to your mount roulette
>back do being a lifeless husk
surely this is more fun than randomly getting it
being lucky is fun, it’s just a fact

>ahahaha you want gear for more than one? No way gay

gear is for arbitrary msq gear gates, acquiring glamours and parsing. list ends here.
no dood im going to act like raiding is the only thing people play this game for and if you compare that mindset to another games known target demographic YOU'RE the schizo.
Pretty sure you only need crafted gear to clear everything but ultimates anything more is a waste

T7 was a better fight than Part 1 of P8S
O12S part 2 was a better fight than P8S part 2.
T7 is a better fight than most fights.
P8S is not even hard to beat. Phase 1 is alright and 2 is just trash.
The ARR story is really slow and doesn't really pick up until you fight Titan. The chain of quests leading up to that fight almost made me quit the game.

Played casually this game since postARR. I feel privileged and lucly that i never felt the need to lvl an alt because early game is horrible.

Much like every ffxiv thread
What point are you making here? Or just being schizo for the sake of it.
There's a certain population on Ganker that thinks every poster should only post once per thread.
It's more that ffxiv discussion is 90% circlejerk
Go look at literally every other 400+ post thread on Ganker right now you fricking sperg.
There's nothing but arguments in these threads especially since WoWrats were mindbroken when their homosexual e-celebs all decided to play it.
the only circlejerking in the thread are people saying they dislike the game in the following format:
>negative non-contestable statement i.e 'this mechanic is bad'
>someone else: 'this. its too bad you can't criticize the game because X fanbase are cultists'
People actually staying in a thread about a topic they like and discussing the game?
This isn't my Ganker.
Where are my frog posting eceleb obsessed contrarians at?
A mediocre experience that most modern MMOs offer
Such a fricking dogshit genre, all the defending and discussion is cope. Literally playing any other game would be worth your time.
300 hour main story single player game that is incredibly boring but randomly gets really really good in some places
also, the game will randomly just say "alright this is a mmo you have to play content with other people now" after 20 hours of single player only and it becomes alive. incredibly fun before turning back into a boring single player game your only into for the possibly that the cutscenes get really good for a bit again
See (you) in the next thread
