Why did you stop playing FFXIV?
How are you preparing for further casualization and player isolation in the most successful MMO?

I will come back for the graphic update 🙂
Why would I play a fricking MMO?
I have taste
Shadowbringers was the highest-rated non-remake of 2019. If you have "taste" then you should know 2019 was a stacked year for vidya, cementing XIV's worth.
>highest rated
by who? morons? Go figure
By the same critics who praised DMC5.
ok? why do I care about these critics?
userscore is tied with heavensward which means heavensward is better
>overrated story with filler that comes close to EW levels
>no content
>like literally no content, you either became a troony raider or remained a dungeon hero for two whole years
>bad combat fluff like accuracy, TP, moronic designs like bowmage
>NO CONTENT
Nah, only secondaries listening to streamers think HW was anything but overrated mid.
>accuracy, tp and bowmage
Funny how an aspect of bowmage came back in pvp. Even more amazing when you can cast while moving.
PvE mch/brd should cast and move just like in PvP
Ranged homos have gotten away with too much, they deserve cast times again
>Why did you stop playing FFXIV?
My sub ran out and I wasn't doing anything in particular so I let it.
See you next time something happens.
NO YOU CAN'T JUST VORE ME
Tried coming back, but the GCD really killed it for me. It's just too slow of a game.
1 button combos like pvp.
Playing on controller is great
>just make combat even more braindead!
none of the content after EW main story was worth playing
>sub fee game
I'm looking forward to the retcon. The fanfest trial is giving me hope since its an Indian themed deity and from FFIV.
I bet its actually the true form or Zemus or a Meracydian Sophia.
naw. turns out Julyan Manderville was a primal all along
Fanfest trial??
Asura
It's Asura, you secondary. And it's for Hildibrand.
Your lack of reading comprehension is on par with your delusions. I called it Meracydian because Thavnair wasted their beast tribe deity on the Magus Sisters dungeon boss.
>I called it Meracydian because Thavnair wasted their beast tribe deity on the Magus Sisters dungeon boss.
Thavnair has more than those three deities, the Magus Sisters are just three Manusya that have a lot of worshipers. Daivadipa is also another of their gods. And the latest Hildibrand straight up ended with Lugae suggesting a primal summoning.
Guess I have an egg on my face. Goddamn do I hope it isn't a Hildebrand trial.
Nu-age Meracydia. Idk if the original Sophia faith still carries on after she got captured.
Haven't all fanfest trials been side content and not MSQ?
>or a Meracydian Sophia
Sophia is already Meracydian, wha?
i stopped because i got my roulettes for the day done and none of my buddies needed help for anything, no TT open tournament, got my fishing in, don't feel like doing FATE grinding and i have sufficient tomes for the next manderville weapon step tomorrow
XIV is more alive than ever despite three years of content drought.
post party finder
hard mode: no aether
>what's 2+2
>and don't say 4!!
Sorry chud, DC travel is the future.
concession status: accepted
>FFXIV isn't a raid troony game they said
>Only the high-end duty tab has more than 20 groups most of the time
I was lied to and wasted my time
>XIV is more alive than ever
It's a lie and you know it
Numbers don't lie, the average sub count from 6.1-6.4 have all remained higher than SHB at it's peak and only marginally lower than EW on release. EW literally saved this dead game, expect this expansion to be the mold for all future expansions. Everything added to EW or changed in it is an objective success compared to old expansions.
The game is over, that's why they called it Endwalker. Why the frick would you keep playing a game that ended? Everyone knows the multiplayer aspect is absolute horse shit garbage so it sure as frick isn't going to be for PvP.
Anon, there's another expansion coming in the spring.
If I wanted to read fanfiction I'd create a livejournal account.
By that note everything was after ARR is fanfiction because of different authors and interpreting previous things differently.
I stopped playing because the patches and expansions are 100% formulaic over and over. Once you've done ~2 savage tiers parsing orange+ (or even purple), it's just boring. It's an endless treadmill.
The next expansion will be exactly the same. 6 zones, 2 cities, raids with X patches, etc etc etc. Also, they make the classes more boring with each expansion.
Real answer? Had to leave my static because work times didn't work out anymore.
Fake answer? I didn't I log in to talk to friends and do OOC degenerate stuff.
>tfw just found out people sell json scripts to auto decorate your house furnishings to fit a design
how much money have people invested in this game???
The game is janky as hell and it's piss easy to make scripts to do everything for you in this game.
Still slowly plodding through p12s prog with my static, so I'm not gonna be unsubbed for a while yet.
I still play ffxi on horizon little bits
ffxiv is pretty good but the whole themepark style really makes me not care about it
I never did.
I'm never playing another MMO again because I'm not gay.
I stopped playing so that FFXVI wouldn't be spoiled for me.
Now that I have completed that game, I will log back in today.
forbidden hingashi lore with hanwiener soon
Whats the deal with Lunar Primals? They were relevant for 1 dungeon and a couple of side quests before being swept under the rug. And didn't the Magus Sisters have that lunar color scheme with the dark blue lines and purple swirly horns?
EW was half-cooked. Remember there was originally supposed to be a whole Garlemald expansion during which presumably the lunar primals would have had more focus. Here's another question for you: How the frick was Lunar Odin summoned? He doesn't have worshipers, and the Zantetsuken can't be summoned by the towers because it doesn't get unsummoned.
Got burned out after abyssos. I still have a shiton of content to do from previous expansions. I was doing Ivalice and stopped before doing the third raid. I really like the game as a whole, but MMO combat's complexity comes from fight mechanics, and I don't enjoy having to remember every fight if I do roulette. I know the game is easy, I just don't enjoy learning and remembering MMO fights. I'll probably go back to it soon, though.
I'll give you my knowledge in exchange for the fights feeling fresh and new again.
Endwalker did feel undercooked. Like they had to get something out due to internal problems. That Odin question is good. If I were a dev I'd write it off as "Odin is idolized by a group of hunters who got captured" or some mundane bullshit.
I can fix her
>I can fix her
But why would you want to? That's the best part.
I don't wanna get ultima'd in bed tho
>Everyone wants to "fix" her when the obvious solution is to break her instead
The XIV community never fails to disappoint me.
who is this girl and what is the deal with her?
Evil psycho prostitute tries to become God and ruins her husband's life but she's hot
many such cases

Hello Forspoken friends

only a few hours until we can all get disappointed by the new BLU spells haha
>further casualization of MMOS
MMOs have been casualized since EverQuest. Ultima Online is the only one that ever got it right.
lol. EQ was x10 more of a hardcore poopsock game than UO. Yes, even on PVE servers. You didn't play either one you homosexual poser.
you're a braindead moron. everquest is the MMO that started the "consensual pvp trend", which everybody else followed, because morons like you couldn't handle getting pked.
oh and I almost forgot. even when you killed somebody, you couldn't loot them except on one server. and even on that server, you could only loot one item.
it was a game for babies like you that needed your hand to be held
31 posters in and they haven't shown up yet. Thank goodness.
I think they'd be stupid to not make the 1-2-3 combo exclusively the pvp style without the plugin, wasting 3 buttons is stupid when 2 and 3 are straight up valueless without being in the combo.
It's a dead, abandoned game.
Healed a run of the golbez fight just now where i had to raise the cohealer 7x, a sam 6x, a gnb 5x, a drg 4x, and a rdm 3x. they got double hit by crescent every single time, probably saw that mech a good seven to eight times.
the people playing this game are literal bugs without a single ounce of critical thinking
Had a similar situation a month or two ago while tanking, they kept getting killed by the AoE immediately after crescent every single time. It ended up being the main tank and I finishing the fight by ourselves for like the last 18% of Golbez's health. It's genuinely shocking seeing some people in 90 content that don't seem to know how to play the game or just completely ignoring easy to dodge mechanics that have already repeated a million times.
right. everyone's new to a fight at some point, I get it. but when you die to the exact same shit 5 times in 6 minutes, you're moronic. just straight up moronic
Blame the wowfugees
Majority of the player base is insufferable and my static fell apart during summer 2022. Haven't found a new one yet and it's hard to with my work schedule. I'm not going to bother with party finder where the only thing the player base excels at is gaslighting.
Zoom zooms don't want to talk in FC, party, or city channels. Community is gone from MMOs. No, I'm not joining your discord.
Subscription based models are too stressful for me so I stopped playing. Every moment I wasn't playing FFXIV I felt like I was wasting money. I would only ever played again if I had so much money I didn't care if I wasted it or if the subscription was based on actual hours played instead of time passing irl.
>WoW-clone themepark MMO #37944564
Why would I play that garbage? WoW was never good, a casualized clone never even had a chance.
>MSQ has been absolutely shit since endwalker began and the .0 patches have been worst
>Dev team split to make FF16 and we get two medicore games instead of 1 good one now
>Endwalker wasn't going to be the next xpack a different one was then something actually end of the world related would have happened next
>Savage has been a bust with a handful of good fights like Themis
>Ultimates aren't actually play tested by the team they just use cheat with checkpoints and thus we had the buggy overtuned piece of shit known as TOP (and troonys are just going to cheat with cactbot anyway because yoshi will never grow a fricking spine and ban them)
>More and more porn addicts flooding the game you cant even walk around a capital city with a stupid advertisement for an LGBT FC or 18+ erp nightclub being announced every other minute
>PvP rework was a good step in the right direction for the mode but the rewards are ass and cheaters are everywhere
>Playerbase in game refuses to hold the dev team accountable and just keeps making excuses for them
>More and more cool stuff getting locked behind the store like Cruise chaser and shadowkeeper because paypigs have 0 self control
>relics became welfare gear for moronic casuals who dont even wanna play the game
>Classes feel really boring right now since they basically all play very similar to each other
Its pretty sad the game is following its predecessors straight into the holes they fell into. The fanbase isn't even surprising since people were defending the absolute shitshow that was 1.0 even back that (before all the updates made it allegedly barrable). Kinda funny how those guys are basically walking around with the cattle iron tattoo on their back proving that they are eternal shills for yoshi p. And if yoshi p gets called out on his bullshit and be held accountable he will just cry again like a homosexual on camera and people will eat it up as he continues to cut content and delay patches further.
I stopped because I finished the story and raiding in MMOs died years ago
Has anyone attempted a MINE (min ilvl and no echo) of old content? I know Unreals exist but doing MINE on old shit would also set your level back.
Are MINE runs harder than Unreal?
It's a different kettle of fish since Unreal's damage output is tuned around your entire kit while MINE is for whatever level that content was originally designed for. However, running old content at MINE isn't going to give you the "intended" experience regardless because so many abilities have been changed, removed or added that it's fundamentally a lot different.
It often ends up being easier because base potencies have become so bloated and pre-StB DPS checks aren't balanced around Direct Hit (it didn't exist) so everything keels over pretty quickly regardless unless you intentionally gimp yourself further.
MINE is easy
>Why did you stop playing FFXIV?
i'm not a savage raider so the game offered literally nothing for me to do for about 6 months straight
