>Still playing wow
>mmo
this will always be the main problem. All MMOs have shit, time gated, bloated stories, unfun gameplay.
Banned for swearing. You will never get to enjoy FFXIVkino in the realm of YOSHI-P THE GOD
>time gated
That's pretty much only WoW
Time gating is a very common mechanic in shitty f2p games, usually with an option to buy out of the time gating. WoW is notable for being a huge budget, AAA title that resorts to dogshit Chinese mmo monetization and retention schemes. Presumably because they aren't confident in the actual game to keep people playing.
WoW was never good and anyone who says otherwise literally loves eating shit.
>2022 game
>2004 engine
gee I wonder why it looks like shit
Why does anyone even play this piece of shit?
FOMO and because streamers shilled it hard. MMOgays are actual shit-eaters.
wow only felt good when you played it as a kid, when you didn't do anything properly and spent most of your time not having any gold and running around aimlessly. this is true for every mmo. only gays play mmos beyond the age of 19 max
also, twitch = shill. this is a fact, look at the platform, look at the people on there, look at the owners.
if it looks like a shill, talks like a shill, acts like a shill, it's probably a shill.
This explains why I never liked the game. I was an adult by the time it came out.
Sunk cost fallacy
>WHY ARE GRAPHICS SO BAD
Never played wow or have any interest but I already know your opinion is garbage.
> NOOO NOO REDDIT TOLD ME TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE GRAPHICS REEEE
The art design is the main problem
the engine is the problem
This, Blizzard's disgusting pauldroncore art style is one of the worst in the entire gaming medium.
It is the year 2022, and that is an RPG. However, that is not a 2022 RPG. It is a 2004 RPG which, even at the time of release, opted for performance over technical impressiveness. It looks the way it does because updating the graphics to 2022 standards would be a massive investment from a company so incompetent that they can't churn out shitty, repetitive content at a rate swift enough to satisfy their brain-damaged fan base. As to why the story is so shit, well, I'm of the opinion that Blizzard has never written a good story in their existence. However, from friends who disagree with that statement, I gather that the majority of their writers have left due to the aforementioned incompetency.
Next question.
Arthas and his story is some of the best writing of the past 50 years
Huh? It was literally King Arthur but in inverse lmao, Arthas story is not mind blowing. Aidan from Diablo got the EXACT same story too. Blizzard are hacks and constantly recycle their shit, like Sylvanas/Kerrigan.
Needs a hanging troony edit
>why is the story such a joke
This but for XIV, every time people praise that joke of a game I feel like I'm having an out of body experience. It's utterly forgettable mindless grinding, even when compares to WoW. It's especially telling when there's an option to pay to skip the original fricking story.
>just grind through this trash for 40 hours bro I promise Shadowbringers is good!!!
yeah but it kills characters off in cutscenes then plays sad music, it means the writing is really good. and then your character nods and punches their palms then farts, then is ignored in dialog prompts after picking up bird shit, makes me feel like i'm really there
You are wrong, singleplayer peasant, FFXIV does NOT kill characters, in the realm of YOSHI-P THE GOD none of the characters truly ever die. FFXIV is an MMO 100% committed to ensuring that the players never risk seeing anybody from their beloved roster of characters ever disappear from the story. Inspired by FALCOM and the legendary TRAILS OF COLD STEEL series, our great leader NAOKI YOSHIDA makes sure 80% of the deaths in the series are nothing more than fakeouts.
wow till wotlk mechanically blows ff14 out of the water. But ff14 does have a more compelling story that surprised me, and it’s clothing/armor system is light years better. Wow hasn’t made an armor set that doesn’t look like shit in like a decade.
Also lalafel are funnier than gnomes.
I got bored of ff14, but I thought the thaumatage quest line was really touching.
That said, in terms of class design, wow really was great. Wow mage is vastly more compelling experience than ff14 black mage, which is basically using a ton of buttons to do nothing but dps
That doesn't look like a Garrick to me
What's the matter? Can't stand a strong black woman with her strong black gay son?
we wuz part of da alliance and shiet
Does modern WoW even have builds anymore or are all the specs railroaded due to builds being "too complex"?
No builds now, but Dragonflight will bring back skill trees. Whether or not they actually make for build variety is anyone's guess, but Blizzard fricks up everything, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Wasn't much variety back in the day anyway. Talents were too granular to play around with for the most part. Some nerd with a calculator and sim program figured out your build and you went with that, probably. I guess you could go rogue but you would end up with basically the same playstyle, just worse performance.
Sure, I don't disagree with you at all. That's why I added, "Blizzard fricks everything up". Tbf I think the idea of builds in an MMO is paradoxical, because so-long as there is a numerical "optimal" approach, not using it will only put yourself or your group at a disadvantage. Like, if someone isn't running the meta, they're either too moronic to know it, or else intentionally gimping the success of the group for their own fun. Weeeeeeee.

So it runs on a potatoaster
