that's my problem, FFXIV is fricking perfect for like a year but once you catch up with content, do a bunch of old content, ultimates, savages, etc you realize the actual per-patch content is same exact shit for almost a decade. As fricked up as WoW is especially retail WoW, at least each expansion refreshes/soft-resets things.
I'd honestly rather the patches be boring and rpedictable tlike XIV than the game to be unplayable fricking garbage for years at a time like when WoW swings and misses with their expansion mechanics (which is becoming more and more frequent)
I feel you but I think FFXIV is still going down the drain with job homogenization and not enough content being pushed each patch: LE FUNNY HUMOR MAN relics, DOA Island Sanctuary, Criterion having dogshit rewards and no smooth difficulty scaling like Mythic+, PvP being hardcore botted and just kind of boring after a season, with again, mediocre rewards, etc
EW was definitely a miss on a lot of its content but I'll give them one expansion to miss the mark on stuff, if DT continues the trend I'll be genuinely concerned.

14 is so creatively bankrupt they tried adding relevant dungeon content, then just gave up on it because it was a failure. All the other features besides the Visual novel story is a mimicry of WoW's raids and queue system but worse.
Also, you can't get a single group going in 14 after a month or so, while in WoW its still popping months in.
14's a troony game whos selling point is the troony RP in estates, and visual novel experience - that's it.
>expansion mechanics
Name a mechanic they fricked up this expansion. Kek.
I would get into wow but I heard the leveling is horrible, the playerbase is horrible to new players, and you need a ton of adons just to do content and get yelled at if you don’t have it. Also seems their is a adon to tell you when other players don’t have the right adons

I had fun leveling in latale, mabinogi, tera, elsword, vindictus, dragon saga, and DFO.
Nah it got worse over time. Eureka was peak XIV, i regret that i never appreciated it when it was new. Bozja was great too but they made the mistake of letting people solo grind fates instead of doing bozja for repeat relics. EW had nothing like that and it really hurts.
>the mistake of letting people solo grind fates instead of doing bozja for repeat relics
How is that a mistake when there are still populated Bozja instances?
Why would you even come to Ganker threads if there isn't a fanfest or new patch drop? it's already been confirmed we have sharty, barry, pablo AND the trancers on rotation camping them.
holy frick is this the "graphical update"?? lmfao it's the same as when they said they were going to scale up the fidelity in Heavensward but it was just a fricking gloss filter on every single texture in the game, moving from DX9 to DX11 KEK
Literally everyone is fricked. Male human at least gets three and half options depending on how we wanna rule Ninja. I'm stuck with dancer or sage and now my edgy DPS job is locked behind the worst race/gender combo of all time.
>SAM af is shit once again >Ruin the contest winner katana on anyone but roes and au ra >STILL no fricking tenzen armor
Guess I'm switching to the new caster if it isn't shit.
>SAM af is shit once again
saotome set was great (and the dawtrailer one is just saotome++), what are you smoking? what do you not like about it? what's your favorite SAM AF?
my favorite is still the original SB AF, but come on now, saotome was good even if it didn't fit the ronin aesthetic, and was also good for mix/matching pieces into other SAM glams.
Male Xaela DRK is actually the most based race/job combo. Most zoomers are too afraid of appearing cringe to go with something that overtly edgy. It's the sign of a strong will.
i am excited to see dawntrail
i am excited to see where the "focus on multiplayer content" will actually be going and how it will manifest, since all we have to go on so far is all the usual + very likely a bozja zone + "a new type of combat content"
>"focus on multiplayer content"
this is just a buzzword, everything is going to be completely the same, if not worse they think variant dungeon are multiplayer content
>Landis >Dalmasca >Verdant Path >Dabog >Eschva tribe
there's so much interesting lore in the bozja field notes, so why the frick was the actual storyline so boring? i would love a whole expansion dedicated to exploring these garlean-held or contested territories if it was written well. I'm still reading them all but I'm curious why Lyon killed Noah van Gabranth.
>so why the frick was the actual storyline so boring?
Because they locked it to war shart and hrothgar lore. Still blows my mind how fricking low quality and rushed hrothgar lore was/is
>Make entire civilization and culture revolve around matriarchy >Make the released race all male >Make every single male who has a family mention his dead wife >When you finally get to the content for said matriarchal society Reveal that the matriarch isn't even OF that race.
I like how they had to make it so the beastmen are oppressed because of Ul'dah having a specific list of beast tribes that are banned from their city for trade reasons in order to have Hrothgar being playable make any sense at all.
It's stupid because it implies that their bias against the beast tribes stems from that list instead of their inherent differences. Can't let a Qiqirn in but the big lion bloke is fine.

well the lion bloke lives in actual houses, has money, etc, unlike mud huts and stick tents of the beast tribes of eorzea
Potatoes starting the entire 'we don't like you, therefore you're a filthy BEAST' is some fun lore building though. The First showing that their 'beast tribes' were just a normal part of society and treated the same as everybody else because the potatoes there were more interested in building machines and infighting amongst themselves instead of trying to control the world's wealth was neat.
tbf we already knew about that since qiqirin and mamool ja frequently trade with lalajews and we know the miqo'te used to be considered a beast tribe and still are to some extent by gridanians.
What really sucks is how fricking boring hrothgar are, they're basically just roes with cat heads.
the best way to make money from it was to wait for crafter patches to hit and dump all your cowries on materia but you're a bit late for that. maybe in dawntrail crafters will need old IX materia for overmelding though.
now you can do felicitous favours weekly. the tokens for the mount sell for about 45k-50k each so that's 315k-350k a week which isn't making bank but it's decent enough for minimal effort.
You dont. The best money maker is selling dyes and thats it
dyes are not great for making gil, especially the ones that you can currently get from fall guys

ehhh there's more appeal for the combat relics than there are the crafter/gatherer relics; it isn't the actual lack of grind existent in the game, it's the lack of grinding funnel for the combat jobs. i do get the complaint since i find the tomestone method pretty aimless (the game doesn't really tell you what any good sources of mid-range tomestones would be (spoilers it's hunt trains)) but on the other hand it's a sink-or-swim moment for people unaccustomed to making their own fun or exploring alternative content like treasure maps and hunts, as well as a sink-or-swim moment of "stop playing the game and find something else to do if you're bored"
variant & criterion failed as content. 1 and done, and they were also shit.

The higher difficulties of V&C dungeons completely failed, even after attaching glowing tomestone weapons to them. Base difficulty though, extremely accessible and extremely successful, high enough engagement and clear rates to warrant a steady stream of new dungeons, top shelf replacement for Hard dungeons that were primarily fodder for Expert roulettes and Lv. X0 roulettes after they stopped being the newest.
The problem isn't the content, it's the lack of character and class progression.
There's just NO reason to play the game beyond the MSQ. Raiding is frustrating, Dungeons are too few and simple. PVP is a joke.
There's a big and logical reason why RP is so huge in this game. It's the only thing that gives players a sense of progression and growth. Some reason to feel connected to their characters.

These, also deep dungeons are really fricking boring, literally fall asleep as you press 1 to win for 30 minutes boring. Variant + Criterion are one and done. PVP is fine BUT the netcode is not fine. The sames basic shit as every other expansion is not really an incentive to stay subbed after doing it a couple of times since there's no character or class progression as anon noted. The one thing WoW got right many many years ago was that it let you feel powerful and theorycraft (like a lite-ARPG).
I've been able to enjoy XIV way more after I got filtered by phoinix and quit raiding. Maybe I'll try again for DT but accepting being a shitter is so fricking comfy.
>look at all the shit you can eat bro! >what you don't want shit?!?! >yeah that's what i thought. Now eat your shit.

Criterion savage sadly doesn't have a high clear rate sadly. It sucks too since after clearing it once, my group decided to stop and finding others to even attempt this is a pain. I just want my DRK sword.
>and it was in maintenance mode with the least content ever
The doom homosexual posters are still here, what the frick kek? Almost word for word what this schizo was saying half a year ago now that is some mental illness.
endwalker has a lot of hardcore content. the same 12 savage raids plus 2 ultimates, 3 criterion dungeons (which are now like 4-man ultimates), and Eureka orthos. there's nothing for casuals though. we didn't even get a real relic grind this expansion. island sanctuary was a big flop. it's also missing any Eureka/Diadem type content if you remember that. because of this the game is feeling less and less social. I'm looking forward to dawntrail though because I hear that they're going in a different direction.
>there's nothing for casuals though
Thank fricking god then. Maybe now you will realize how shit this game has been for us "hardcore" boogeymen for a few years now too.
Yeah I definitely feel bad for anyone who just are awful at any hard content or just don't want to deal with it, there's been nothing to do for most of this expansion for casual to low-mid players. Orthos for a ton of the newer people I know obliterates them due to how every mob just does raid mechanics.
>there's nothing for casuals though
Thank fricking god then. Maybe now you will realize how shit this game has been for us "hardcore" boogeymen for a few years now too.
2 Ultimates in SB and Kefka/Omega, the best savage tiers and one of the better Ultimates in SHB, 2 Ultimates in EW, Criterion, and a few good savage fights. We've been eating good for ages man, I still like going back and helping friends on ultimates because the content is still pretty fun. Other anon has a point, and the lopsided balancing definitely has cause this expac to be one of the weaker ones.
>Orthos for a ton of the newer people I know obliterates them due to how every mob just does raid mechanics
This was me and my friends.
We checked out and never set foot in again after a floor 40? boss did the coils mechanic we never saw and killed us 1.5 seconds into the fight.
It's a very small list but I personally feel like 2,3,10, and 12 part 1 were pretty well done. EW wasn't the hottest setup for savage raids especially considering Eden was really fricking good.

Yeah I figured Twintania's twisters would obliterate some people, there's worse stuff as you get higher up, technically it's a very easy deep dungeon if you raid due to very low autos but it's very unforgiving to people who don't.
12 p1 was easily my least favorite door boss ever. the snapshots were extremely bad and there was nothing to heal until the tail end of sc2a. i also don’t like mechanics where you just autolose if you don’t have sprint like sc2b. i don’t really know what people found so fun about it
10 had the garbage ass janky turrets which knocked it down to no higher than a b for me

I honestly like the fast paced nature of it, and I don't think you needed 2b sprint if you call out things early enough, I usually shot called for people since they give you quite a bit of information very early, and it just resolves pretty clean and I think nowadays most groups just outright kill after the buster after 2a. Janky turrets I'll 100000% give you, it's the main shit I don't like about 10 but I like how they tried something new with the launcher busters etc. I'm mostly just looking on the positive side of things because I mostly agree with you on EW being very sparse on quality savage fights.

you 100% won’t make it without sprint if you are h2/r2 and you get the pattern where you have to run to the other side. it’s not about reaction, you can already tell if it’s the back and forth pattern or run across pattern way before it actually resolves

Only mid fight are p6s, p7s and p11s
Everything else is good or great.
I'd argue 1,6,7,8-2,9,11,12-2, are kinda mid, but they all do have one thing or another people tend to like which is why I tend to be a bit more forgiving on it. The main meat EW offered in my opinion were the ultimates which were pretty well done.

1 was giga boring
2 was ok
3 was the peak of pande
4p1 felt incomplete. like there was supposed to be another mech but he just repeats pinax??? also pinax is the only real mechanic
4p2 had a ton of filler mechanics like act1, act3 and finale
5 was ok but it had that cringe 20s opener i’ll never forget where you just did filler until like 20s into the fight then you could do your opener
6 is literally just full of filler mechanics outside of cachexia
7 the lord of filler mechanics nothing going on for like 7mins just kill me
8p1 i detest gaze mechanics in this shitty engine so much, literally RUNNING to my snake and my gaze fires out of my backside, how does that work huh? yeah yeah muh shitty server snapshot, fricking delete gaze mechanics from this game if you can’t have characters facing where they’re facing on screen
8p2 was ok. it was the hardest raid to heal in the entire raidseries, so that was fun, but outside of the healing the mechs felt very basic. maybe if i had to flex like tanks/melees i would feel different but i just stood on line and triangle and let thing resolve lol
9 was boring outside of lc where people started doing jp over oppo which meant that 6 had to stay the frick awake
10 i really didn’t like how fast bonds 3 snapshotted and the turrets snapshot was super janky. hh was decent to heal
11 was EXTREMELY boring. it did hit fairly hard which was fun, but the mechanics all felt so uninspired
12p1 i disliked the snapshots on 2a and 2b and forcing sprint is cringe
12p2 i fricking hate caloric as a concept, oops move 1cm out of line teehed ur dead, made a minor brainfart, too bad you can’t correct your position. healing wasn’t too bad, i liked that it split up the party a few times to make you think about healing a bit more

1 is good, especially in it being the very first turn of the expac (compare it to e1 or lmao, o1). Mostly extremes mechanics with a few spicy stuffs, i.e chains and intemperance. The TBs were neats
2 and 3 were both great
Not sure what you mean by incomplete, if it's incomplete because it reuse pinax once, then all SB bosses are early access bosses. Tether/orbs aren't super hards but I've still seen plenty of frickup there.
The fillers mechs for 4p2 are perfectly fine, might as well say the same things for E8S since it has a ton of relatively easy mechs too.
Why would you delay your opener in P5 just send it you fricking autist
8p1 is the greatest savage fight of this expac imo, given your p5 comment i'm gonna guess you're a greed autist who got filtered
8p2 had fun movements for its mechs imo, it was also a great tank fight since you could optimize your CDs to cover every single autos and save a failed run on the last mech by invulning a tower.
The martialists phase in 9 was pretty neat, I liked the beast phase too even if it's easy.
The turret were fine in P10, just stop greeding you autist. KB mechs are always funny too.
12p1 is also great, I'm pretty sure you never need sprint on 2a and b.
12-2, caloric give you a bunch of leeway, with the eu strat it's honestly not super hard once you frick it up once or twice. It has a good mix of puzzle mechs where you already see the solution and fast-pace movement. (basic concept for exemple, nothing too hard for the first part but the second bit is a relatively fast bait then move out)

I'm just talking about the base final trial of EW. People don't know that the add right before the required tank LB always gives you full LB, so they panic when a DPS uses LB3.
She summons some weird bird baby with an enrage timer and after you kill it you have to tank LB3. It always gives full LB gauge so you can do the tank LB which I'm guessing is the only reason it exists so you can guarantee there's LB to use, just like how the adds in A12 also give a shit ton of LB.
Ah, I'll have to do that fight again as it's been so long I had completely forgotten. I remember that cutscene and the victory lap which is pretty fun, the two planets rotating and then she reverses time, one is faster than the other I remember that but everything else is a blank.
I'm thinking of buying a house, which is the best district do you anons think. I know Ishgard is the newest but it seems very, unappealing the aesthetics of it are so dull and dreary.

Mist is the nicest, or Shirogane if you want a weebhouse. Goblet is the worst but still workable.
mist is only good for the beachfront properties so it's as bad as goblet which is only good for the center area. with the lavender beds you can't go wrong. shirogane is good but as anon said it's mainly just for weeb houses. and yeah empy is the absolute worst unless you can swing the large mansion by the bathhouse
mist or shirogane
shirogane's heights are very underrated by the way, don't focus on beach houses. check out shirogane plots 28 29 and 30 (and their subdivision equivalents, this is important because of where the sun sets on the horizon). they all have an excellent unblocked view on the entire island and the ocean, and they also have their own private onsen.
he's been playing since ARR, that's why he came on to write for the game, it's why he got Sakaguchi to start playing, he streams the game regulary and makes videos
I just let my house explode since there's nothing to do in the game. I would hardly advice against getting one unless you hard RP wich makes you be in-game all the time for your daily homosexualry.
Houses are a noob trap. Anyone who knows how the patches go would think twice before buying something that makes them have to log in every month to avoid losing it.

Because a certain MMO's gays can't fathom quitting something you no longer enjoy so they project it on others.
It's really amazing how cool the black mage ARR set. It's used in a bit of the concept and promotional art and its silhouette always stands out and looks great. I'm glad I decided to try it last year, it immediately clicked & I've never had as much fun with the game as I have ever since I started playing BLM. I wish I had started as a thaumaturge all those years ago.
It's a shame the other BLM AF sets aren't as good, but it's hard to measure up to perfection. I'm looking forward to seeing how the job plays in Dawntrail.
I completely agree with you anon, I know it's an unpopular opinion among ffxiv players but I really don't like the crafted sets or sets that have no character. They don't look Final Fantasy to me, which is why after all these years my favorite pieces are still the ARR gear sets, they look the most "Final Fantasy".
I know people always say "yeah but FF7 had modern clothing so that's why the pvp set and crafted sets are ok" I get it, but it's not for me and doesn't look FF to me.
I get it, I really do. The AF sets, especially the ones from ARR, are just iconic. They represent the jobs perfectly and the sets that released later were either iterations or attempts to do something radically different that failed. I think the modern day and casual wear items have their place, but the AF sets keep the fantasy going.
I wonder why AF pieces don't get upgraded like relics. Could be a fun thing to do.
Upgrading my 50 BLM AF so I could dye it was cool, though. It was rewarding. I even had to ask someone online to craft the materials 'cause there weren't enough on the market board. It was neat.
idk what the problem is, if anything it's cooler if you have to put in some effort to get the af gear
The ARR upgrading isn't too bad, but grinding Eureka just for the upgrade mats is annoying, and ShB requires you to grind a trial, but I guess you can solo unsync it sooner or later. It just hardly seems to be worth the effort to me.
People that try to deflect about the modern clothing options in FF14 being fine because other FF games did are just deflecting because it's a disingenuous argument made by secondaries who don't even play other FFs and don't even have a basic understanding of the unique art directions all these different games have but at the same time the people that don't like FF14 doing that are missing the big picture of how FF14's art direction changed.
FF7's clothing style works because it's consistent and cohesive to the world it's set in. Midgar is the hub of all the modern aesthetic stuff and they have the largest influence on the planet so they affect other towns, villages, etc scattered over the planet with a big plot point being Wutai not fitting that mold because of the war with Shinra and wanting to keep their culture unchanged.
If FF7 had a guy wearing the traditional FF styled fantasy armor it'd look super weird and out of place.
This also goes for all other FFs set in a futuristic, sci-fi or more modern setting like FF8, FF13 etc
FF14 did originally stick to the traditional FF style design in ARR but they loosened on it every expac starting from HW until they abandoned it which is made more obvious with how Akihiko Yoshida was the lead artist in charge of gear design during ARR and hasn't done anything since (always felt weird to me since they get other artists to replicate his style for covers and key art and whatnot)
Even ignoring the modern clothing, you can see this obvious change with how the game focuses the majority of it's gear art design towards capes and coats which is intentionally done by Yoship (e.g. don't forget things like the Rathalos armor), likely because that kind of fashion is really popular in Japan if you look at their current trends like the general designs of MCs in isekai anime/manga having some kind of lightweight armor that's a coat or has some cape attachment
FF14 is a FF kitchen sink now, and has been a long time
I get why the devs felt like they needed to do it back in the day (XIV 1.0 was floundering and bringing in some more classic memberberries was a good way to get people to have faith in its future), but often I feel like the AFs just go overboard with how derivative they are of past iconic appearances of jobs. XIV shouldn't shy away from having more original ideas, I really love the Heavensward SCH set for example. And frankly if they're going to continue making more classic FF-looking sets, they might as well draw from the entire classic catalogue, where's my FF3 Dragoon?
This is going to be a long post but all the devs and people who so far have wished FFXIV a happy tenth anniversary, they're doing it every day this month a different dev or known person.
Sakaguchi was first
Amano was next
Matsuno (Ivalice/ Bojza) was third
Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito was next
Akihiro Hino
Noda Crystal (Magic Lovely)
Yui P (Okazu Club) I have no idea who this is
The Primals with Soken and Koji (asking if anyone wants to see them in their local region around the World then to ask SE, make some noise)
Finally, at least for now that leaves us with Yoshinori Kitase

Not every job is Summoner, anon. The three caster jobs play very differently right now, you should try them. Black mage is fun, red mage is fun and summoner is fun too, in its own way. BLM > SMN > RDM in my opinion. Summoner is too easy, red mage moves around too much and has too much weaving. Black mage is perfect and a nice change of pace.

Calling it, fem'roth and Krile will be revealed as the new caster class in the trailer at the Tokyo fanfest. You anons know it's less than 3 weeks to go?
I think having a class designed around Dots would be really fun but would really break a lot of peoples brain in this game because it'd be so different from what everyone is used to.
if it's designed for a lala character its going to have a horribly cringe aesthetic
It's definitely at the very least the fem'roth who walked off the boat

It's for your own good Wedge. Your bloodline will never continue if you keep simping for that ho. Be like Biggs. Inseminate a hardworking plainsfolk lass and create an immortal line of Wedge's who will singlehandedly make Eorzea a spacefaring civilization.

Tataru is a dunesfolk. Hanwiener started on the bottom just like her but he managed to earn his place in the East Aldenard Trading Company by showing Lolorito he could get the job done. If anyone is jealous it is her.
Tataru is running her own enterprise and making money hand over fist while Hanwiener is left making money for somebody else. Highly doubt Tataru is jealous of him.
But she also gets the job done and did so as a free agent working for heroes until they "disbanded" and she immediately started making her own successful business making hero clothing.
>If anyone is jealous it is her.
Tataru was in Kugane for what, a few weeks while WoL was in Doma? In that time she setup an entire information network and various business deals for the Scions. All while being fully capable of matching Hanwiener's bants.
Hopefully 7.0 gets another Restoration Zone, building that zone in Ishgard bit by bit was one of the coolest and only actually "Massively Muiltiplayer" activities this game has ever had. A shame the leaderboard shit was all botted to hell though.
I just mentally dismiss these types of posts because someone says something like this about every scion to try and get under people's skin
It's really pathetic
Probably fewer, EW launched at basically the perfect time when Blizzard was absolutely shitting itself. It'll still be a big launch though, probably still more than ShB launch.
Eureka: >fate grinding (bad) >have to walk everywhere (good) >lost actions (good) >elemental system (okay) >krile (krile) >bunny lootboxes (fun)
Bozja >fate grinding (bad) >critical engagements (good) >duels (could be good if you could prog them as solo instances instead of being encouraged to watch a guide so you don't screw up your chance to fight it) >lost actions (good) >more raids (good) >disgusting ugly zones (awful) >hrothgars (awful)
Eureka wins for me but I have no desire to go back to either after having cleared BA and Dalriada. Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content?
God, I'm not looking forward to DT hunt train with cross server AND DC travel >Being stuck for 5min clicking an aetheryte to change instance because it's literally full of people
people probably won't DC travel for hunt trains at the beginning of the expansion since it'll be clogged for other reasons but when they do it uses a different queue system from world travel so you don't have to worry that much about it.
i used to dc travel a lot when going for the hunt mounts and a lot of times i would get there faster than people on the same datacenter (under 2 minutes) since people didn't dc travel often in between major patches
I really liked Eureka but I haven't been really feeling the need to go back either after doing BA a ton, wasn't the biggest fan of bozja but I think the engagements were fun. I still don't agree however with the discord foray shit that's pretty much needed to do BA or DRS, and would honestly prefer it if they forced an 8-10 man setup over the ridiculous shitshow they had in BA and DRS, especially considering said foray discords in a ton of DCs have had histories of abuse.
>Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content?
Absolutely nobody thinks that, both where almost universally reviled and people only did them because it was by far the most efficient (or in Eureka's case, only) way to get their relics.
lootboxes (fun)
this is not fun at all >Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content
yes.
i don't like raids because you either have to apply for statics and get interviewed like its a part time job in which you need to log in specific times every week or bang your head against the wall in pf for who knows how long.
deep dungeons are okay but finding groups past the base floors takes too long and doing it solo is too punishing if you die.
extreme trials are fun but only while you're progging them, farming them for mounts while they're current is enough to make someone lose their mind.
even with the flaws you point out i like bozja and eureka more than anything else in this game because they offer significant grinds for weapons and armor, can be done solo and in groups, BA and DRS are difficult enough to be fun but not so difficult that you need to play it like a job, essences/lost actions/logos actions mix things up a lot, and it actually feels like an MMO.
also i used to think eureka was better but i have given bozja a second chance and the essences/lost actions system alone pushes it ahead for me. plus the duels are really fun and satisfying to beat even if the 1 hour cooldown fricking sucks.
What's everyone doing anyway during this patch? Got dragged along on some more ultimate groups to help friends out but it's mostly been an excuse to login and play a bit, maybe some weekly Unreals here and there too since Thordan's pretty much a free telling and retelling every week now. Not too much going on though, I wonder how sparse the content will be in the next patch before we're in a down for a few months.
Season of discovery looked really fun, I have a friend playing Warlock Tank atm and he's been having a blast so that's pretty nice. Outside of the helping runs on the side 14 definitely doesn't have much for me to do. I have to think of some more games or just maybe work on my backlog finally.
Crafting is a great way to save money, I got mine maxed out in SHB and the 10 levels in EW was pretty chill, made some money too since ishgardian restoration was really nice. I don't like the new shatter, and what's the cheating setup in seal rock atm?
What like knowing point openings early or we talking about the clown brigade that use the anti lb thing on SAM's with limit break ready. I'm surprised that out of everything square doesn't crack down on PVP exploiters like that, considering it directly affects players.
I played tomb raider 1 and 2 and unlocked endings a and b for nier. Will go for c later today. I have no intention of resubing at least a month before new expansion drops.
I enjoyed FFXIV 2.0, I enjoyed the game going from finance failure to saving square enix and being the sole reason other projects were made
the music was great
the pve encounters were great
it managed to capture the FF soul within an mmo game
the plot was interesting and was closed in a way, that, while some may complain about it, it resembled the ending of a proper FF mainline game
that's it, the next expansion is just milking the game for money, they should start in their next mmo, this time with proper netcode and a good engine
>the villains motives are arguably better than the heroes
I kneel...Ilberdsama...
>Gets btfo'd in every aspect >Gets soul straight up annihilated in the afterlife >Wins because Shinryu
Weak excuses for weak men. Ilberd lost hard and will forever be remember canonically as a punk b***h
Ishikawa is a hackfraud who hates all work before hers, that's why Ilberd is there uncharacteristically when he'd be over the moon you actually saved his people despite being an butthole. If anything, he would've been deserving of a scene where he shows some remorse but emphasizes it was the only way (which it was). Ishikawa just doesn't understand complex characters, it's rather sad.
>Anon completely forgets that the entire first half of Ilberd's plan was to kill the Scions out of pure spite and that he wished they'd all die while liberating Ala Mhigo because "You took so long you don't deserve shit, I hope as many people die in the war as possible".
Imagine being such a petty little homosexual like Ilberd. Eorzea had zero obligation to help liberate Gyr Abania, especially seeing as the Autumn War was only like seventy years prior. >Flee Gyr Abania and become an Adventurer >See Raubahn has become successful >Get spiteful of this >Years later, join Scions >Befriend WoL, ect >Get autisticly mad that the Scions and Eorzea dare to help Ishgard before Ala Mhigo >Plot to kill Scions >Aid in the Assassination of Nanamo >Fail both tasks >Form new faction >Initiate false flag to drag Eorzea into war with Garlemald >Kill own followers to summon Primal because now you think that Eorzea, Ala Mhigo and Garlemald all deserve death >Plan partially succeeds >Try to kill WoL in Aetherial Sea only to get soul nuked by Papalymo
The biggest, pettiest jobber ever
Being spiteful is precisely what made Ilberd a good character.
Why are people so scared of just having a villain who's legitimately an butthole? There's no need to either whitewash or blackwash him, he was fine. He's responsible for some of the biggest "Oh frick" moments in the entire game, and his plans ironically laid the foundations for a huge part of the plot.

The most dangerous villain the scions ever fought was just an ordinary man with a big chip on his shoulder.
how the hell did people hate bozja? the whole area came packed with mini trials and then an extra alliance raids on top! also whens the next free log in. i dont wanna pay yohipee shekels for noraid patch
Bozja haters are exclusively endwalkertoddlers who didn't play Bozja (or Eureka) when they came out and only make that arguement to defend this patch series for only having content that spoils faster than milk.
There were people in ShB doing crystal tower spam to avoid completing their relic in Bozja. No content in this game is universally enjoyed, even the story
Problem is there isn't much incentive to spawn CEs. They didn't think the rewards system through like they did for eureka. In Eureka, you get element exp and vitilated crystals for spawning NMs, so in Pagos you HAVE to contribute to spawning to get your relic, and in Pyros it was at least encouraged when it was new because its' how you rerolled stats. In Hydatos you've got your elemental +2 gear (possibly) so you can just solo spawn everything if you have to, and at level 60 you no longer need to wait for a raise, you just eat the level down and join an NM party for a bit. Anemos at least gets you some crystals for your trouble.
Meanwhile in Bozja, you don't get shit for spawning CEs. If you got maybe 100 mettle per kill, you'd have people CONSTANTLY farming the entire area, forever. But spawning them is like trying to get a rare drop in a KMMO, just long (for this game) stretches of feeling like you're wasting your fricking time.
>Probably the worst plotline in the entire game so far >Ruined Mikoto's character >Getting groups of Caestrum was fricking obnoxious if you're doing it later, Dalrida was slightly better. DR was a good system but for some reason it was only DR >No ending, lol >Ugly as shit >Nothing but a Fate Grind
I've heard that Eureka is better, I'll finish it one day. In the meantime, I'll post Yugiri.
>Ruined Mikoto's character
Mikoto's "character"? She's an aetherology scholar, she has Echo that sees visions of the future, she... likes Cid, but is shy? Anything else I'm forgetting?
Finally finished all Animus books for both chars on the weekend, was sick during the week so wasn't doing much. Now to continue farming Poetics for the Alexandrite step yay.
Some people really hated the goop floor in Toto-rak so the rework is an improvement for them, but I think removing it just made the whole experience even more boring. Walking forward through a hallway and still putting up with the early ARR 3 button rotations is a cure for insomnia.
Modding has ruined the game, it's not that I really mind people modding. It's that it has become the "default" and people are now expecting you to mod as well. You can't even talk to someone before the ask you for "Mare?" within 3min of a conversation.
>You can't even talk to someone before the ask you for "Mare?" within 3min of a conversation.
I would call this bs since you can just report those people if they even try to talk about mods in-game and they know it.
>Remember when new expansion would be the highlight of Ganker threads >We'd be defending against homosexual mods while talking about cool shit >Now it's just endless doomposting and cuckery
Have to wait until fanfest then we will get like 3 threads that get 800+ post then shitposters/doomposters will call it shit, this has been the norm for years and you think they would get tired of just hating on the game.
I love how shitposters and doomies are too shit-scared to say anything while things are being eagerly and excitedly discussed and only come in afterwards to pick at the scraps and leave a skid mark while most everyone has already moved on. Actual bottom feeders.
The few that do get completely ignored, it was pretty funny how they posted spoilers in super slow threads when endwalker came out and when people started to get done they got completely drowned out by people enjoying the game .
The desperation is legitimately palpable.
They'll be crying about maintenance mode and trannies 5 expansions from now. By that time, we'll probably also get to hear how shit forays are and how it was way more sovl when we had superior criterions in Endwalker and Dawntrail, and that them being too lazy to add new criterions is a testament to how dead the game is and how lazy the devs are.
If your character was sent back to level 1, stripped of all gear, currency, materials and had their retainers locked up, all quests have been completed, leves won't refresh, how long would it take to level back up to max level?
The best way to reenact that scenario would be to get a max level character and toss all your gear into retainers and impose those rules upon yourself.
Dungeons are the fastest way to level, period. They take between 12 and 15 minutes, we'll say 15 because the math is easier. You gain about 3/4 of a level per dungeon without boosts.
So 90 levels * 1/4 hour per dungeon = 22.5 level-hours per dungeon. Divided by .75 levels per dungeon, you wind up with 30 hours.
No, you must be like ME >be me >don't like thing >get more of thing I don't like >continue playing >continue seething at getting thing I don't like that I've been getting since the start
Stupid consoomer.
True. I really want the game I played and enjoyed for several expansions to reinvent the wheel and become totally different every time so that I can go from being "meh" about a patch at worst to absolutely loathing entire expansions because they are exactly what I don't want to play.
Because getting more of what I like is "stagnation."
>things that attracted people to the game are "the same shitty and boring things" >no you don't get it we need to do completely different things from what pulled the original playerbase in... because I, guy who doesn't like the current or any version of the game, SAY SO.
So yes, you are indeed an outsider trying to tell a game you don't like to change to suit your interests. Or rather, you're trying to gaslight people into wanting it to be completely different from how it was when they started it so that it runs them off.

>to keep doing the same shitty and boring things
Those "shitty and boring things" are why the game has continued to grow with every expansion. Maybe when a game keeps getting bigger year after year despite you not liking it, the issue is that you simply don't like it, not that the game is bad.
Not every game needs to be for you, and if you don't like a game, don't expect it to suddenly change to suit the whims of a tourist like you.
You must be addicted. Gaming addiction does happen to many people.

The exact same things I do every expansion, anon. >b-but you need to JUSTIFY that to me
I do not. If you can't think of anything the game provides to do, then that's not an Endwalker problem because every expansion is virtually identical. No, repeating FATEs in an instanced zone isn't "more content".
Are you being paid? If you keep repeating that you enjoy this stale, boring formula, at least say what you actually like. Do you even play the game?

You have to start from the first floor everytime you do your weekly clears. This effect will stack with the later additions of future floors. Can't do P12 until you clear out P1-11.
Wiping in an alliance raid will send you all the way back to the first boss.

Hmh.... deep, philosophical questions indeed. On the level of "if I don't like games that aren't CoD, why is this game of chess still not a CoD copy?"
normal people: >this type of game or its content format doesn't interest me, i'm not going to play it
spiteful Ganker shitposters with a grudge >this type of game or its content format doesn't interest me. here's how that's the game's fault and how my personal disinterest in it is a mark of how objectively bad it is and how it needs to change to be unidentifiable to its original playerbase
Endwalker was so bad
Dawntrail will be so bad
the next raid will be so bad
how did they get hydaelyn in ff11?
she's 12000 years old so she's the games target audience
Its one of her shards that separated herself
unf. vieras are a gift to us all.
>The watchers
?????
>He doesn't know
Even worse, it will be exactly the same.
that's my problem, FFXIV is fricking perfect for like a year but once you catch up with content, do a bunch of old content, ultimates, savages, etc you realize the actual per-patch content is same exact shit for almost a decade. As fricked up as WoW is especially retail WoW, at least each expansion refreshes/soft-resets things.
I'd honestly rather the patches be boring and rpedictable tlike XIV than the game to be unplayable fricking garbage for years at a time like when WoW swings and misses with their expansion mechanics (which is becoming more and more frequent)
I feel you but I think FFXIV is still going down the drain with job homogenization and not enough content being pushed each patch: LE FUNNY HUMOR MAN relics, DOA Island Sanctuary, Criterion having dogshit rewards and no smooth difficulty scaling like Mythic+, PvP being hardcore botted and just kind of boring after a season, with again, mediocre rewards, etc
EW was definitely a miss on a lot of its content but I'll give them one expansion to miss the mark on stuff, if DT continues the trend I'll be genuinely concerned.
It will continue they re gonna spend most of the effort to reshade the whole game
14 is so creatively bankrupt they tried adding relevant dungeon content, then just gave up on it because it was a failure. All the other features besides the Visual novel story is a mimicry of WoW's raids and queue system but worse.
Also, you can't get a single group going in 14 after a month or so, while in WoW its still popping months in.
14's a troony game whos selling point is the troony RP in estates, and visual novel experience - that's it.
>expansion mechanics
Name a mechanic they fricked up this expansion. Kek.

make your own thread
>sped past the WTS entries
Good boy.
That's neat and all, but I'm still playing FF14 and I have no interest in your World of Warcraft.
Alas.
I would get into wow but I heard the leveling is horrible, the playerbase is horrible to new players, and you need a ton of adons just to do content and get yelled at if you don’t have it. Also seems their is a adon to tell you when other players don’t have the right adons
Wanna hear a secret? All mmorpg leveling is fricking garbage.
Unironically true. Gameplay sucks dick when you're level 20 in WoW and it sucks dick when you're level 20 in XIV.
At least I enjoyed the ARR story
I had fun leveling in latale, mabinogi, tera, elsword, vindictus, dragon saga, and DFO.
vanilla wow has the best leveling
I would be fine with this if every expansion had a foray
Nah it got worse over time. Eureka was peak XIV, i regret that i never appreciated it when it was new. Bozja was great too but they made the mistake of letting people solo grind fates instead of doing bozja for repeat relics. EW had nothing like that and it really hurts.
>the mistake of letting people solo grind fates instead of doing bozja for repeat relics
How is that a mistake when there are still populated Bozja instances?
>3 more weeks of doomposting, waifuposting and avatargayging until fanfest
I started playing Against the Storm this week, I strongly recommend it. It's like Banished but more fun
Why would you even come to Ganker threads if there isn't a fanfest or new patch drop? it's already been confirmed we have sharty, barry, pablo AND the trancers on rotation camping them.
I just check in when I'm bored to see if there's anything interesting going on. Sometimes I'm lucky
holy frick is this the "graphical update"?? lmfao it's the same as when they said they were going to scale up the fidelity in Heavensward but it was just a fricking gloss filter on every single texture in the game, moving from DX9 to DX11 KEK
gutter shit game
That's an example of 1 piece of tech in the graphical update. They haven't shown a full before and after yet, just various bits one at a time.
>I have no idea about anything to do with video game graphics or I do and I simply pretend I don't in order to spitefully gaslight others
Sad.
>there's a soiteen camping these threads
still makes me laugh
I’m like thus, I just so looked at this thread because I thought it was a new keyart
are you including those moronic lala posters
Imagine spending your every waking moment melting down and doomposting about a game you don't like.
For free.
What did they do this time?
Nothing, it's the brand new doomposting method.

They should racelock some jobs
Jobs are now racegenderlocked to their respective official artwork representative (pic related).
How fricked are you?
>GNB
>WAR
>SMN
>NIN
Not complaining.
You see, if people looked like that in the game they'd look so fricking cool. As it is, most people look like pic related in game.
Literally everyone is fricked. Male human at least gets three and half options depending on how we wanna rule Ninja. I'm stuck with dancer or sage and now my edgy DPS job is locked behind the worst race/gender combo of all time.
mwahaha, i think i'll be fine
>SAM af is shit once again
saotome set was great (and the dawtrailer one is just saotome++), what are you smoking? what do you not like about it? what's your favorite SAM AF?
my favorite is still the original SB AF, but come on now, saotome was good even if it didn't fit the ronin aesthetic, and was also good for mix/matching pieces into other SAM glams.
>DRK is my only choice
I don't mind tanking but also I don't like playing DRK over the other tanks
Male Xaela DRK is actually the most based race/job combo. Most zoomers are too afraid of appearing cringe to go with something that overtly edgy. It's the sign of a strong will.
Don't get me wrong, I love DRK as a concept, I just don't like how it plays compared to the other tanks.
i'm alright being stuck with scholar as long as i am also stuck with the heavensward version
>Hellsguard Roe created WAR
>Can't play it
Dumb idea
Hard to tell from the artwork whether RDM is Seeker or Keeper, but BRD looks like a Keeper. Could be worse.
Lmaoing at male lalas. Or are they the fortunate ones?
Say what you will, but Innocence was beautiful.
Like, an honest to god abrahamic vision of an angel. Fight be damned, he's beautiful to look at like a stained glass window.
Best part is that it's still the whiny entitled Vauthry as well.
Dawntrail will be so kino
i am excited to see dawntrail
i am excited to see where the "focus on multiplayer content" will actually be going and how it will manifest, since all we have to go on so far is all the usual + very likely a bozja zone + "a new type of combat content"
>"focus on multiplayer content"
this is just a buzzword, everything is going to be completely the same, if not worse
they think variant dungeon are multiplayer content
>only log in to test mods
>they are always dogshit since all the good modders quit
it's so over
Did all the good modders quit or they went to paywall their mods cause they saw the gold mine?
Mostly quit, most paywalled mods are made by bibo gays and they're always low quality , shit textures and ridiculous small breasts and ass.
>Landis
>Dalmasca
>Verdant Path
>Dabog
>Eschva tribe
there's so much interesting lore in the bozja field notes, so why the frick was the actual storyline so boring? i would love a whole expansion dedicated to exploring these garlean-held or contested territories if it was written well. I'm still reading them all but I'm curious why Lyon killed Noah van Gabranth.
>so why the frick was the actual storyline so boring?
Because they locked it to war shart and hrothgar lore. Still blows my mind how fricking low quality and rushed hrothgar lore was/is
>Make entire civilization and culture revolve around matriarchy
>Make the released race all male
>Make every single male who has a family mention his dead wife
>When you finally get to the content for said matriarchal society Reveal that the matriarch isn't even OF that race.
I like how they had to make it so the beastmen are oppressed because of Ul'dah having a specific list of beast tribes that are banned from their city for trade reasons in order to have Hrothgar being playable make any sense at all.
That retcon is so fricking stupid, why would the other cities states even give a shit
yeah so strange that a merchant class would be so discriminatory.. that'd never happen in real life..
It's stupid because it implies that their bias against the beast tribes stems from that list instead of their inherent differences. Can't let a Qiqirn in but the big lion bloke is fine.
well the lion bloke lives in actual houses, has money, etc, unlike mud huts and stick tents of the beast tribes of eorzea
Potatoes starting the entire 'we don't like you, therefore you're a filthy BEAST' is some fun lore building though. The First showing that their 'beast tribes' were just a normal part of society and treated the same as everybody else because the potatoes there were more interested in building machines and infighting amongst themselves instead of trying to control the world's wealth was neat.
tbf we already knew about that since qiqirin and mamool ja frequently trade with lalajews and we know the miqo'te used to be considered a beast tribe and still are to some extent by gridanians.
What really sucks is how fricking boring hrothgar are, they're basically just roes with cat heads.
How fun is Viper going to be?
What did Yoshi P mean by "Viper is designed for DT combat?"
Shadowbringers was so bad
Endwalker was so good
endwalker decent but not great
>just hit island 20
ok how do I make bank now
You dont. The best money maker is selling dyes and thats it
the best way to make money from it was to wait for crafter patches to hit and dump all your cowries on materia but you're a bit late for that. maybe in dawntrail crafters will need old IX materia for overmelding though.
now you can do felicitous favours weekly. the tokens for the mount sell for about 45k-50k each so that's 315k-350k a week which isn't making bank but it's decent enough for minimal effort.
dyes are not great for making gil, especially the ones that you can currently get from fall guys
oh is this where we pretend to look forward to the same slop?
go the frick back to Ganker and Ganker
Wait what happened? I haven't played in a long time, like for the last expansion or two, but I was happy the game was doing well.
The exact same thing that happens 12-8 months before the next expac comes out every time
I think I remember doomposters saying that Endwalker was the last expansion and that the game was going into maintenance mode.
and it was in maintenance mode, with the least content ever
>3 variant dungeon + criterion (literally new content never done before)
>Eureka Orthos
>PVP revamp + 3 different maps at the start and 2 additional over time
>Same basic shit as every other expansion (3 24 man, 3 tiers of 8 man raid, and 2 ultimates)
>No content
bitching about "no cahntent" usually means there isn't something daily-repeatable or the relic grind isn't interesting, in endwalker's case both because there's no bozja equivalent
Maybe, though if they wanted relic grind shit why didn't they go toward the crafter/gatherer relics then?
It has all the grind they would ever want.
ehhh there's more appeal for the combat relics than there are the crafter/gatherer relics; it isn't the actual lack of grind existent in the game, it's the lack of grinding funnel for the combat jobs. i do get the complaint since i find the tomestone method pretty aimless (the game doesn't really tell you what any good sources of mid-range tomestones would be (spoilers it's hunt trains)) but on the other hand it's a sink-or-swim moment for people unaccustomed to making their own fun or exploring alternative content like treasure maps and hunts, as well as a sink-or-swim moment of "stop playing the game and find something else to do if you're bored"
You're literally talking to barry, he's been seething since DT announcement btfo that news article saying there would be no new expansion.
variant & criterion failed as content. 1 and done, and they were also shit.
eureka is the most hated DD and nobody runs it.
PVP revamp is universally hated.
Same basic shit was even lamer and easier than before. It keeps getting dumber and dumber.
>PVP revamp is universally hated.
Stopping you right there
If it was so hater, the queue for it would never pop, like how it was for Feast.
Meanwhile both Frontline and CC pop any time of the day.
So you're full of shit.
they added series exp to the roulette. so it pops. but play on a shatter day, you will see much longer queue times for that trash.
Roulette popped anyways because it was a daily and gave EXP/gil/all that.
I never had any issues queuing for Feast. What's the difference between then and the PVP rework?
>PVP revamp is universally hated.
Utterly wrong, balance issues aside.
His idea of "universal" is that the universe is completely within his head
>Variant and criterion failed
>Rewards sell for a shiton of gils
>Cosmetic exclusive stuff on latest savage
>Some really great fights
Hu?
The higher difficulties of V&C dungeons completely failed, even after attaching glowing tomestone weapons to them. Base difficulty though, extremely accessible and extremely successful, high enough engagement and clear rates to warrant a steady stream of new dungeons, top shelf replacement for Hard dungeons that were primarily fodder for Expert roulettes and Lv. X0 roulettes after they stopped being the newest.
The problem isn't the content, it's the lack of character and class progression.
There's just NO reason to play the game beyond the MSQ. Raiding is frustrating, Dungeons are too few and simple. PVP is a joke.
There's a big and logical reason why RP is so huge in this game. It's the only thing that gives players a sense of progression and growth. Some reason to feel connected to their characters.
These, also deep dungeons are really fricking boring, literally fall asleep as you press 1 to win for 30 minutes boring. Variant + Criterion are one and done. PVP is fine BUT the netcode is not fine. The sames basic shit as every other expansion is not really an incentive to stay subbed after doing it a couple of times since there's no character or class progression as anon noted. The one thing WoW got right many many years ago was that it let you feel powerful and theorycraft (like a lite-ARPG).
None of this stuff counts for reasons
Have you cleared those? Is it fun, poop eater?
I’m not letting some Black person like you stopping me from enjoying content in a game I like.
i’ve done everything except the ultimates and all of them were boring
bro it doesn't count
it just doesn't ok
where is my drab lifeless zone to farm fates in?
i thought so
Honestly the only two rhing wrong with bozja is that it’s ugly and it’s too short. It needs another zone and the story needs to be completed
I've been able to enjoy XIV way more after I got filtered by phoinix and quit raiding. Maybe I'll try again for DT but accepting being a shitter is so fricking comfy.
>look at all the shit you can eat bro!
>what you don't want shit?!?!
>yeah that's what i thought. Now eat your shit.
It's also funny how if WoW did this everyone would be "this content is garbage" and people would agree but since it's ffxiv garbage then everyone is supposed to eat the shit and be happy without complaining
Also inb4 >muh wow
Black person
>i don't like it
>so it's shit
>i don't want to do it
>so there's no content
Cry and go back to wow.
Yes, criterion is unironically and objectively shit. Cultist pretending otherwise doesn't matter.
>muh cultist
Dismissed. You can go back.
obssesed with the game. You can call it whatever you want. The meaning is the same.
The moronic shill thinks that content with 0.1% participation rate was a success
Just
shoo
nobody is interested in your take
Seems like you were wrong.
Criterion savage sadly doesn't have a high clear rate sadly. It sucks too since after clearing it once, my group decided to stop and finding others to even attempt this is a pain. I just want my DRK sword.
>and it was in maintenance mode with the least content ever
The doom homosexual posters are still here, what the frick kek? Almost word for word what this schizo was saying half a year ago now that is some mental illness.
They've been doing this for over 15 years anon they aren't going to stop any time soon, the honor of their favorite game depends on attacking others.
It's true.
That was clearly the plan until ShB got so popular they had to shut down digital sales, plans definitely changed late into EW's production
Screen capped those posts because they were so moronic.
endwalker has a lot of hardcore content. the same 12 savage raids plus 2 ultimates, 3 criterion dungeons (which are now like 4-man ultimates), and Eureka orthos. there's nothing for casuals though. we didn't even get a real relic grind this expansion. island sanctuary was a big flop. it's also missing any Eureka/Diadem type content if you remember that. because of this the game is feeling less and less social. I'm looking forward to dawntrail though because I hear that they're going in a different direction.
>there's nothing for casuals though
Thank fricking god then. Maybe now you will realize how shit this game has been for us "hardcore" boogeymen for a few years now too.
troony kys.
Yeah I definitely feel bad for anyone who just are awful at any hard content or just don't want to deal with it, there's been nothing to do for most of this expansion for casual to low-mid players. Orthos for a ton of the newer people I know obliterates them due to how every mob just does raid mechanics.
2 Ultimates in SB and Kefka/Omega, the best savage tiers and one of the better Ultimates in SHB, 2 Ultimates in EW, Criterion, and a few good savage fights. We've been eating good for ages man, I still like going back and helping friends on ultimates because the content is still pretty fun. Other anon has a point, and the lopsided balancing definitely has cause this expac to be one of the weaker ones.
>Orthos for a ton of the newer people I know obliterates them due to how every mob just does raid mechanics
This was me and my friends.
We checked out and never set foot in again after a floor 40? boss did the coils mechanic we never saw and killed us 1.5 seconds into the fight.
i don’t think ew had any good savage fights. other than maybe p3s which is like an a-tier savage fight maybe. everything else i’d rate b or lower
It's a very small list but I personally feel like 2,3,10, and 12 part 1 were pretty well done. EW wasn't the hottest setup for savage raids especially considering Eden was really fricking good.
Yeah I figured Twintania's twisters would obliterate some people, there's worse stuff as you get higher up, technically it's a very easy deep dungeon if you raid due to very low autos but it's very unforgiving to people who don't.
12 p1 was easily my least favorite door boss ever. the snapshots were extremely bad and there was nothing to heal until the tail end of sc2a. i also don’t like mechanics where you just autolose if you don’t have sprint like sc2b. i don’t really know what people found so fun about it
10 had the garbage ass janky turrets which knocked it down to no higher than a b for me
I honestly like the fast paced nature of it, and I don't think you needed 2b sprint if you call out things early enough, I usually shot called for people since they give you quite a bit of information very early, and it just resolves pretty clean and I think nowadays most groups just outright kill after the buster after 2a. Janky turrets I'll 100000% give you, it's the main shit I don't like about 10 but I like how they tried something new with the launcher busters etc. I'm mostly just looking on the positive side of things because I mostly agree with you on EW being very sparse on quality savage fights.
you 100% won’t make it without sprint if you are h2/r2 and you get the pattern where you have to run to the other side. it’s not about reaction, you can already tell if it’s the back and forth pattern or run across pattern way before it actually resolves
I've never heard my h2/r2 ever complain about it so it could be something I'm not considering, it was usually comfy so definitely my bad on it anon if I'm wrong.
I'd argue 1,6,7,8-2,9,11,12-2, are kinda mid, but they all do have one thing or another people tend to like which is why I tend to be a bit more forgiving on it. The main meat EW offered in my opinion were the ultimates which were pretty well done.
It was criterions for me imo. Savage is shit, but the normal modes are great fights to progs and reclear, and give you a bunch of rewards that sells for moronic amount of moneys on the MB.
I really like what they did with Criterions, its a very interesting setup and offered something different. The only Savage I cared about was Alo Alo due to finally giving some sort of reward for it outside of some meme title.
Only mid fight are p6s, p7s and p11s
Everything else is good or great.
1 was giga boring
2 was ok
3 was the peak of pande
4p1 felt incomplete. like there was supposed to be another mech but he just repeats pinax??? also pinax is the only real mechanic
4p2 had a ton of filler mechanics like act1, act3 and finale
5 was ok but it had that cringe 20s opener i’ll never forget where you just did filler until like 20s into the fight then you could do your opener
6 is literally just full of filler mechanics outside of cachexia
7 the lord of filler mechanics nothing going on for like 7mins just kill me
8p1 i detest gaze mechanics in this shitty engine so much, literally RUNNING to my snake and my gaze fires out of my backside, how does that work huh? yeah yeah muh shitty server snapshot, fricking delete gaze mechanics from this game if you can’t have characters facing where they’re facing on screen
8p2 was ok. it was the hardest raid to heal in the entire raidseries, so that was fun, but outside of the healing the mechs felt very basic. maybe if i had to flex like tanks/melees i would feel different but i just stood on line and triangle and let thing resolve lol
9 was boring outside of lc where people started doing jp over oppo which meant that 6 had to stay the frick awake
10 i really didn’t like how fast bonds 3 snapshotted and the turrets snapshot was super janky. hh was decent to heal
11 was EXTREMELY boring. it did hit fairly hard which was fun, but the mechanics all felt so uninspired
12p1 i disliked the snapshots on 2a and 2b and forcing sprint is cringe
12p2 i fricking hate caloric as a concept, oops move 1cm out of line teehed ur dead, made a minor brainfart, too bad you can’t correct your position. healing wasn’t too bad, i liked that it split up the party a few times to make you think about healing a bit more
1 is good, especially in it being the very first turn of the expac (compare it to e1 or lmao, o1). Mostly extremes mechanics with a few spicy stuffs, i.e chains and intemperance. The TBs were neats
2 and 3 were both great
Not sure what you mean by incomplete, if it's incomplete because it reuse pinax once, then all SB bosses are early access bosses. Tether/orbs aren't super hards but I've still seen plenty of frickup there.
The fillers mechs for 4p2 are perfectly fine, might as well say the same things for E8S since it has a ton of relatively easy mechs too.
Why would you delay your opener in P5 just send it you fricking autist
8p1 is the greatest savage fight of this expac imo, given your p5 comment i'm gonna guess you're a greed autist who got filtered
8p2 had fun movements for its mechs imo, it was also a great tank fight since you could optimize your CDs to cover every single autos and save a failed run on the last mech by invulning a tower.
The martialists phase in 9 was pretty neat, I liked the beast phase too even if it's easy.
The turret were fine in P10, just stop greeding you autist. KB mechs are always funny too.
12p1 is also great, I'm pretty sure you never need sprint on 2a and b.
12-2, caloric give you a bunch of leeway, with the eu strat it's honestly not super hard once you frick it up once or twice. It has a good mix of puzzle mechs where you already see the solution and fast-pace movement. (basic concept for exemple, nothing too hard for the first part but the second bit is a relatively fast bait then move out)
4 is somewhat boring
6 is boring because nothing happens except a few stand and let thing resolve xd mechanics
7 sucks dick
9 is boring
10 is good to prog but boring to reclear it gets tiresome
11 is the worst fight in endwalker
everything else ranges from ok to great
I liked pretty much all the acts in 4 and pinax was great.
Final curtain is probably one of the best enrage sequence in savage too.
i agree with the acts, act 2 and 4 are pretty good
i'm not a fan of pinax
agreed with what you said for p8s, i did it as a tank so i loved phase 2 for what it did
i use sprint for 2a but only as a safety measure
doomposters doompost every expansion drought
it's worse now because 2021 created a lot of assmad wowbucks who have a vested interest in trying to FUD the game because their own game hemorrhaged players back then and they're still not over it
Classes feel terrible and overly basic to play now due to homogenization and there isn't much contemporary content if you don't want to raid.
Why are you here anon? Surely this isn't the target demographic for your smear campaign.
There is fricking nothing to doooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Skeleton girlfriend
too fat
just log off homie

I'm on track to finish every relic weapon before dawntrail
Stop eating so much, fatty fat fat.
uuuhm you fishing log bro?? your 100 fall guys wins?
>your 100 fall guys wins?
That's taking the bait too far.
NTA but I’m never touching that mode but I still do need to level blumage and get my crafter relics
no bro i need to farm the same fates in a dreary dead zone
and kill the same boss weekly for +1 on external site parse
now that is real gaming
New PVP is pretty shit outside of CC, it ruined frontline and rival wings and most people dislike the new shatter map
New PVP is unironically amazing, it made Frontlines better, CC is a better mode than Feast, and new shatter does indeed suck they didn't need to break it.
>last thread had people asking for literal nakedchild mods
>it's lalashit
Damn, you had me thinking that one e-girl gposer account leaked his body mod.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Go back to discord, your "raid" is embarrassing and nobody cares anymore, you should've done this 10 years ago.
I wish the game was good. I wasted so much money on subs and mogstation garbage since 1.x
only to realize mmos are dogshit. why isn't combat satisfying in any mmo? wow, xiv, eso. its all floaty bullshit that just feels like you hitting a target dummy hp sponge. there's no weight. well, in 1.x it felt a little weighty at least. idk how to describe it. man.
>plays disneyland MMOs
>whines about gameplay
Stop playing theme parks. Despite kMMOs being horrible 90% of the time, their gameplay definitely feels better in terms of pure dopamine.
I have played for 5,000 years and only just now did I realize the entire genre is doodoo stinky dog shit poopybutt.
its true
it feels like waking up from a dream. was I really that moronic? yes. why are mmos so dogshit
>Monthly sub, grindshit to beat a dungeon Black person in a dungeon "raid", you dont actually raid the olace just the big Black person pockets and some chests with bad rng, devs wont lay a finger until next patch or players are bleeding out

This is what happens when you let in too many terminally online losers into the game. These people infested the game and now mod the frick out of their character for attention because they don't like their vanilla look, then fricking force you to pair with them in Mare. They aren't even subtle about it they just dm "wanna pair?"
These people have overrun anyone who wants to play the game and they scream the fricking loudest which is why now the relic stuff is just fricking tomes. Because all these shitty people were crying they had to do bozja to get their shiny weapon. All just because they want to stand around their friends plot showing it off before going to a "club" they picked from the 60+ ads in the party finder for clubs and frick a male au ra or male viera that thinks he's an alpha male when he's a fat neckbeard irl.
You literally can't prove me wrong.
>game bad! here's why: clientside mods
I wish it was clientside.
They fricking post their modded shit everywhere.
Really want Yoshipiss to ban mods already.
bro i can see other people's mods if i download a third party plugin then ingratiate myself with a bunch of modbeasts, get my hands on their code and then manually enter it

You're just going to feign ignorance at the direct correlation between the game going to shit and the rise of modding c**ts.
I feel sorry for you for being this stupid.
feel sorry for me if you have to because it's the only way you'll say anything that isn't "modbeasts... le bad"
I already knew you were full of shit and had no single argument when you started screaming "autistic".
Nah you're a seething mod user. Frick off back to the quicksand.
FFXVII Online fricking when? It's time.
A new MMO while FFXIV is still active and popular is moronic, that's how we got FFXIV 1.0.
But FFXIV came out while FFXI was still active and popular. What are you getting at?
read the post again more carefully anon
Read my post again. Follow the blue clues and the answer will be revealed.
and it was a disaster. I think thats what hes getting at
Yea and ffxiv failed so hard it had to get completely revamped into a new game are you new or something?
No. No more FF MMOs. Let XIV be the last and usher this shit genre to its end.
>cope, seethe, etc.
XIV would be better if it was a singleplayer game. That's a fact.
>XIV would be better if it was a singleplayer game.
I mean, it already is these days lmao.
It's still bogged down by shit endemic to MMOs like poor netcode, tab target combat, bad dungeons the dungeons in XVI sucked too so it might be just a CBU3 thing and samey job design as a concession to metaslaves.
No other game has netcode as bad as this slop
There's definitely some chink slop out there that makes this game look like the masterpiece diehard XIV fans make it out to be.
When your FF game has worse dungeon crawling than DMC3 you're doing something wrong. Sorry.
>chink slop
Genshin dabs on this trooned out relic from birds eye view.
Dungeons are horrible in an action-game context
Complex dungeons are horrible in an MMO context
Elder scrolls has good dungeons. I dont think there is a game with worse dungeons than ffshit. Although at this point I think its just yoshipiss being completely moronic
never
the MMO genre is dead
there's more money to be made with gachashit and other garbage
FFXIV 1.0 was a masterpiece
don't care, still having fun
kinda like this lala
I would like that lala a lot better with no swimsuit bottoms.
Im uninstalling FFXIV. I just saw someone named Skibidi toilet
There are already XIV mods for it. The community of XIV is fricking done.
dont open
Sorry not sorry for AIslop but
Have we hit peak garbage?
It can always get worse. We haven't even reached the bottom of the chamber pot yet.
How did things get this bad?
Everyone started popularising mods with the whole "just don't speak about it in game and you're fine"
>only 90s are tanks
>leveling anything without story quests takes weeks
this game is fricking moronic, they really need to level squish or something
The levelling is so fricking shit it what turns me off doing anything on another job.
I can level a character on WoW from 1-70 in a day if I needed to.
Post your character
>play dps since the start of EW because RPR is my jam
>decide to go back to tanks since that's what I played before EW and they're all level 90
>maximum comfy levels, more than any other role
Man I hate they all play the same but tanking is pretty fun in this game
honestly gunbreaker is the most fun i've ever had tanking in any tank/dps/healer game
I'm more of a WAR/DRK guy myself but Gnashing Fang always feels good to do
it’s the same as every other tank tanking-wise… rampart, 2min cd, invuln, short cd, raidwide mit, rep… same tank stance voke shirk braindead aggro mechs…
yeah it's the same except for the parts you're not mentioning that make it unique because you inhale penis even harder and faster than my mom. get the frick out of my thread
How can i get that b***h to inhale mine
kys troon
Someone should tag yoshipiss, sokenmyballs and the official ffxiv twitter account into some of the posts coming from lalapedos
is the extent of your creativity really trying to cry to FFXIV jannies about mods
I just think its really funny. I might do it myself
the thread doesn't care m8, you do you
>everyone's complaining there's nothing to do
>I have everything to do because GMs are gays and banned me because they'd rather get rid of players doing their job for them than actually ban kick abusers
That's one way to deal with the content drought.
i recognize him he's lying out his butthole
Jannies ain't shit. I believe him without question.
We used to like our jannies, anon. What happened, when did we start shitting on them for doing their job
You're the same little turd who think cops never make false arrests. You're the same turd who thinks every single person rotting in prison right now is guilty and not innocent. Yeah, most of them are. But there are always exceptions to the rule. You can believe what you want, little boot licker. But the California GMs are not on your side. They will never be on your side. They have free rein to suspend you for whatever reason they like, and they don't even have to specify what that reason is after the fact. They have you by the balls. All it takes is one bad day, or one special snowflake reporting you. And you will lose thousands of hours of progress just like that. And you won't even know why it happened.
Over 2000 hours of content to catch up on (again). All because Novice Network is full of fricking sociopaths
>The anon who went and harassed people in the novice network is back to complain about his ban for the 20th time

Other way around, homosexual
Here he goes again on his psycho tier rant about it's HIS job to control what is and isn't talked about in the novice network and how he spammed hundreds of reports.
HE CHANGED HIS PICTURE'S MD5 TO AVOID ARCHIVE DETECTION
says the guy who regularly abuses kick function against players when the discussion is something they don't like
I've never and will never join the novice network I don't care what morons like you do in their jerkoff chatroom.
You were PERMANENTLY BANNED from the game, whatever you did was so heinous that it deserved the death penalty, hell I've never even heard of someone getting banned for more than a week. Your continued posting and psycopathic behaviour
tells me all I need to know about the supposed validity of your ban.
>Scrambling your MD5 to prevent redditors from looking up your post history is psychopathic
lol
yes

>death penalty
/misc/ isn't having a melty. It's plebbit
I want it to be known all FFXIV streamers and "content" creators are homosexuals and gay. That is all.
Based moronic homosexual saving the thread from archiving. Again.
Every time I get Endsinger in roulette I will make moron mentors panic by LBing the add.
>tfw I haven't done any Extremes in this game other than unsync'd
I'm just talking about the base final trial of EW. People don't know that the add right before the required tank LB always gives you full LB, so they panic when a DPS uses LB3.
The add? It's been a while since I've done that fight are there adds I thought there was only the Endsinger.
She summons some weird bird baby with an enrage timer and after you kill it you have to tank LB3. It always gives full LB gauge so you can do the tank LB which I'm guessing is the only reason it exists so you can guarantee there's LB to use, just like how the adds in A12 also give a shit ton of LB.
Ah, I'll have to do that fight again as it's been so long I had completely forgotten. I remember that cutscene and the victory lap which is pretty fun, the two planets rotating and then she reverses time, one is faster than the other I remember that but everything else is a blank.
I'm thinking of buying a house, which is the best district do you anons think. I know Ishgard is the newest but it seems very, unappealing the aesthetics of it are so dull and dreary. But then again I could make the inside of the house so comfy and cozy in comparison to the snowy exterior it would give an excuse for the inside to be used rather than the outside to be camped at.
Mist is the nicest, or Shirogane if you want a weebhouse. Goblet is the worst but still workable.
The mists is eye cancer whenever it's clear skies in the day. No idea why it's so damn bright when those conditions happen.
mist is only good for the beachfront properties so it's as bad as goblet which is only good for the center area. with the lavender beds you can't go wrong. shirogane is good but as anon said it's mainly just for weeb houses. and yeah empy is the absolute worst unless you can swing the large mansion by the bathhouse
mist or shirogane
shirogane's heights are very underrated by the way, don't focus on beach houses. check out shirogane plots 28 29 and 30 (and their subdivision equivalents, this is important because of where the sun sets on the horizon). they all have an excellent unblocked view on the entire island and the ocean, and they also have their own private onsen.
whoa Matsuno played FF14?
he's been playing since ARR, that's why he came on to write for the game, it's why he got Sakaguchi to start playing, he streams the game regulary and makes videos
>we don't have a FFT and Vagrant Story remaster because Matsuno is busy playing FF14
YoshiP ruining things
I just let my house explode since there's nothing to do in the game. I would hardly advice against getting one unless you hard RP wich makes you be in-game all the time for your daily homosexualry.
Houses are a noob trap. Anyone who knows how the patches go would think twice before buying something that makes them have to log in every month to avoid losing it.
did you do all ultimates?
minus TOP since my static got pretty burned out and i don't really wanna do it with other group since you gonna spend a lot of time with that people and mostly everyone in FFXIV is a homosexual or a weirdo.
>not doing it through pf now that it's more alive than ever
there is something to do
Did you not read my post?
it's pf you aren't going to spend a lot of time with the same people
dumbass
I don't like the base gameplay, the base gameplay but harder doesn't appeal to me.
then why are you even playing?
this is such a weird thing but it's all that people use to doompost
why even subscribe in the first place? you can watch the story through youtube
>this is such a weird thing but it's all that people use to doompost
Because a certain MMO's gays can't fathom quitting something you no longer enjoy so they project it on others.
>then why are you even playing?
I don't. I log in for story (including all side content because i'm a loregay) but as soon as i see "now do it again but harder" i nope out.
It's really amazing how cool the black mage ARR set. It's used in a bit of the concept and promotional art and its silhouette always stands out and looks great. I'm glad I decided to try it last year, it immediately clicked & I've never had as much fun with the game as I have ever since I started playing BLM. I wish I had started as a thaumaturge all those years ago.
It's a shame the other BLM AF sets aren't as good, but it's hard to measure up to perfection. I'm looking forward to seeing how the job plays in Dawntrail.
I completely agree with you anon, I know it's an unpopular opinion among ffxiv players but I really don't like the crafted sets or sets that have no character. They don't look Final Fantasy to me, which is why after all these years my favorite pieces are still the ARR gear sets, they look the most "Final Fantasy".
I know people always say "yeah but FF7 had modern clothing so that's why the pvp set and crafted sets are ok" I get it, but it's not for me and doesn't look FF to me.
I wish 14 would add in some more glam designed for warriors, not much glam recently suit the background of the job
I get it, I really do. The AF sets, especially the ones from ARR, are just iconic. They represent the jobs perfectly and the sets that released later were either iterations or attempts to do something radically different that failed. I think the modern day and casual wear items have their place, but the AF sets keep the fantasy going.
I wonder why AF pieces don't get upgraded like relics. Could be a fun thing to do.
Because a few expansions later it's annoying to go through the effort to upgrade the sets just so you can dye them. Just look at SB artifact sets.
Upgrading my 50 BLM AF so I could dye it was cool, though. It was rewarding. I even had to ask someone online to craft the materials 'cause there weren't enough on the market board. It was neat.
The ARR upgrading isn't too bad, but grinding Eureka just for the upgrade mats is annoying, and ShB requires you to grind a trial, but I guess you can solo unsync it sooner or later. It just hardly seems to be worth the effort to me.
idk what the problem is, if anything it's cooler if you have to put in some effort to get the af gear
ff7 isn't the only ff with modern clothes lmao
People that try to deflect about the modern clothing options in FF14 being fine because other FF games did are just deflecting because it's a disingenuous argument made by secondaries who don't even play other FFs and don't even have a basic understanding of the unique art directions all these different games have but at the same time the people that don't like FF14 doing that are missing the big picture of how FF14's art direction changed.
FF7's clothing style works because it's consistent and cohesive to the world it's set in. Midgar is the hub of all the modern aesthetic stuff and they have the largest influence on the planet so they affect other towns, villages, etc scattered over the planet with a big plot point being Wutai not fitting that mold because of the war with Shinra and wanting to keep their culture unchanged.
If FF7 had a guy wearing the traditional FF styled fantasy armor it'd look super weird and out of place.
This also goes for all other FFs set in a futuristic, sci-fi or more modern setting like FF8, FF13 etc
FF14 did originally stick to the traditional FF style design in ARR but they loosened on it every expac starting from HW until they abandoned it which is made more obvious with how Akihiko Yoshida was the lead artist in charge of gear design during ARR and hasn't done anything since (always felt weird to me since they get other artists to replicate his style for covers and key art and whatnot)
Even ignoring the modern clothing, you can see this obvious change with how the game focuses the majority of it's gear art design towards capes and coats which is intentionally done by Yoship (e.g. don't forget things like the Rathalos armor), likely because that kind of fashion is really popular in Japan if you look at their current trends like the general designs of MCs in isekai anime/manga having some kind of lightweight armor that's a coat or has some cape attachment
FF14 is a FF kitchen sink now, and has been a long time
Literally all my "glams" are just lvl 50 arr job sets.
I get why the devs felt like they needed to do it back in the day (XIV 1.0 was floundering and bringing in some more classic memberberries was a good way to get people to have faith in its future), but often I feel like the AFs just go overboard with how derivative they are of past iconic appearances of jobs. XIV shouldn't shy away from having more original ideas, I really love the Heavensward SCH set for example. And frankly if they're going to continue making more classic FF-looking sets, they might as well draw from the entire classic catalogue, where's my FF3 Dragoon?
This is going to be a long post but all the devs and people who so far have wished FFXIV a happy tenth anniversary, they're doing it every day this month a different dev or known person.
Sakaguchi was first
Amano was next
Matsuno (Ivalice/ Bojza) was third
Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito was next
Akihiro Hino
Noda Crystal (Magic Lovely)
Yui P (Okazu Club) I have no idea who this is
The Primals with Soken and Koji (asking if anyone wants to see them in their local region around the World then to ask SE, make some noise)
Finally, at least for now that leaves us with Yoshinori Kitase

Said by someone who doesn't play the game.
tell me what the latest caster plays like please. tell me what the design paradigm is like for their latest and hottest caster idea
We don't know, we'll find out in a month anon.
the latest one that is in the game. you know, the one we got in endwalker that we can use to extrapolate to the next expansion. please tell me all about it, it's not that hard is it?
The newest one is Red Mage released in Stormblood, are you ok?
They're not going to make Summoner 2, anon. They already made Summoner 1 for morons who couldn't into Black Mage.
Hell, I bet they're going to make Summoner way more complicated next expansion.
>Hell, I bet they're going to make Summoner way more complicated next expansion.
yeah just like how they made mch way more complicated in ew after they lobotomized it in shb. please learn to read the patterns
Hey, they made black mage more complicated and more straightforward in the same expansion. You never know what they'll do next.
Why would they need to make it more complicated?
because it's boring as frick?
If you don't like it then play another job?
that has literally zero relevance to the current discussion
Yes it does. Play something else if you're bored of your current job. It'll either make you appreciate how your favourite job works more, or you'll find your new favourite job.
why couldn't you apply the same principle to old smn or old mch then? weirdo
Old SMN was broken, buggy, and janky. It was changed because as a whole the job was disliked and didn't work properly.
>They're not going to make Summoner 2
SAM RPR DNC WAR WHM and DRG say hi
Are you ok?
do you have a retort?
You just listed a bunch of jobs that have nothing to do with SMN, I'm not even sure how or why I'd want to respond to something so aimless.
Maybe you need to take a break from the game, that might help.
I named a bunch of braindead jobs that are as simple as SMN made for people like you. Just say you concede instead of dragging this out and acting smug.
Yeah you REALLY need to take a break from the game if you are this angry over job design, trust me the thread doesn't want to hear you start screaming about old AST cards or dark arts again.
Speak for yourself. I will never pass up an opportunity to take a fat dump on nu-DRK.
Those two in the background, the fat guy and the chick. If you're American you want to be blaming them for two things, for the NA fanfest being in Las Vegas and for them organising such a shitty even this year. That was their job and they completely fricked it up.
DARKSIDE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH SOUL BRO
Frick that overdesigned piece of shit claymore and drk
>everyone one person
XIV BROS WE THREADIN OUT
>Hell, I bet they're going to make Summoner way more complicated next expansion.
no, they already said their aim for fight design going forward is simple rotation and complicated mechanics, read the interview with Mr ozma
But they re not complicated its just annoying team dancing that one missteps frick you all
i mean yeah that is complicated... pretty on par with something like wow mythic, "oh you didn't soak this? wipe." The difference is i don't think they ever intend to do dps checks like in wow
Calling it, fem'roth and Krile will be revealed as the new caster class in the trailer at the Tokyo fanfest. You anons know it's less than 3 weeks to go?
if it's designed for a lala character its going to have a horribly cringe aesthetic
i think the fem'roth will be a warrior tank.
i do think krile could be the new caster class though.
My prediction is DoTs. My other prediction is that it's going to be blue mage but for real this time.
I think having a class designed around Dots would be really fun but would really break a lot of peoples brain in this game because it'd be so different from what everyone is used to.
It's definitely at the very least the fem'roth who walked off the boat
Not every job is Summoner, anon. The three caster jobs play very differently right now, you should try them. Black mage is fun, red mage is fun and summoner is fun too, in its own way. BLM > SMN > RDM in my opinion. Summoner is too easy, red mage moves around too much and has too much weaving. Black mage is perfect and a nice change of pace.
How long will we keep them awake today, do you think? Threads have been so slow lately they're dying for any crumb of attention.

It's not only Hanwiener, the elezen from Ishgard said it too
>Dour ishgardians thought a cute Lalafells lass telling stories about the WoL and singing was cute
Never says she fricked then.
Tataru is cute and Hanwiener is just mad about being stuck playing handwiener by himself while I rail a cute Lala merchant in the Inn.
You and every Hingan and Ishgardian with a functioning penis.
This guy gets it
Hanwiener is of the desert tribe, he's just lying about her
Tataru is also of the desert tribe though
Tataru is a dunesfolk. Hanwiener started on the bottom just like her but he managed to earn his place in the East Aldenard Trading Company by showing Lolorito he could get the job done. If anyone is jealous it is her.
Tataru is running her own enterprise and making money hand over fist while Hanwiener is left making money for somebody else. Highly doubt Tataru is jealous of him.
But she also gets the job done and did so as a free agent working for heroes until they "disbanded" and she immediately started making her own successful business making hero clothing.
Nobody wears artifact armor that business is going nowhere
Her business in general is getting bigger and bigger. She's probably gonna rival Rowena by the time Dawntrails happens.
Rowena will remain on top because she's a hardworking Ala Mhigan businesswoman. Tataru is a mere rodent like all dunesfolk.
Go to bed Gerolt that hangover's gonna kill you in the morning.
>Rowena will remain on top because she's a hardworking Ala Mhigan businesswoman.
If they really wanted to throw us a curveball they'd have us work with her instead of c**twena for the next relic questline.
>Work with Tataru for new relic
>Rowena tries to muscle in
>Get option to actually threaten the greedy bawd
Please. Please let us humble that b***h.
the endwalker artifact armor is great
For paladin because for once its not like plastic cosplay armor of some anime paladin
>If anyone is jealous it is her.
Tataru was in Kugane for what, a few weeks while WoL was in Doma? In that time she setup an entire information network and various business deals for the Scions. All while being fully capable of matching Hanwiener's bants.
It's been a decade of reading the exact same XIV related shitposts. I think I have finally sunk into hell.
Kill Alexander and it'll all be over.
FORWARD AND BACK AND THEN FORWARD AND BACK
Hopefully 7.0 gets another Restoration Zone, building that zone in Ishgard bit by bit was one of the coolest and only actually "Massively Muiltiplayer" activities this game has ever had. A shame the leaderboard shit was all botted to hell though.
Tataru is a gigantic mary sue
>The carbie is still alive because she's just that good!
Cring
Tataru spent like half a decade being worthless, she's earned being good at shit now.
I just mentally dismiss these types of posts because someone says something like this about every scion to try and get under people's skin
It's really pathetic
Why doesn't EW have an exploration zone of it's own?
gypsies
Because so many people vocally disliked Eureka and Bozja

Will Dawntrail launch have more or fewer players than EW launch?
Probably fewer, EW launched at basically the perfect time when Blizzard was absolutely shitting itself. It'll still be a big launch though, probably still more than ShB launch.
bozja was dogshit because of matsuno slop. eureka is always thriving and fun.
matsuno is a cancer.

Eureka wins for me but I have no desire to go back to either after having cleared BA and Dalriada. Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content?
Eureka was peak content because I could drop in for a couple of hours and cap my weekly tomes to stay out of Expert Roulette.
you can still do that in hunt trains
Yeah but hunt trains weren't up 24/7 and cross world travel wasn't in the game until the very end of Stormblood
true, i forgot about that
God, I'm not looking forward to DT hunt train with cross server AND DC travel
>Being stuck for 5min clicking an aetheryte to change instance because it's literally full of people
people probably won't DC travel for hunt trains at the beginning of the expansion since it'll be clogged for other reasons but when they do it uses a different queue system from world travel so you don't have to worry that much about it.
i used to dc travel a lot when going for the hunt mounts and a lot of times i would get there faster than people on the same datacenter (under 2 minutes) since people didn't dc travel often in between major patches
I really liked Eureka but I haven't been really feeling the need to go back either after doing BA a ton, wasn't the biggest fan of bozja but I think the engagements were fun. I still don't agree however with the discord foray shit that's pretty much needed to do BA or DRS, and would honestly prefer it if they forced an 8-10 man setup over the ridiculous shitshow they had in BA and DRS, especially considering said foray discords in a ton of DCs have had histories of abuse.
eureka wins and still relevant. im glad matsuno got his ass fired and shamed.
>Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content?
Absolutely nobody thinks that, both where almost universally reviled and people only did them because it was by far the most efficient (or in Eureka's case, only) way to get their relics.
lootboxes (fun)
this is not fun at all
>Do people really think this is the high point of ffxiv content
yes.
i don't like raids because you either have to apply for statics and get interviewed like its a part time job in which you need to log in specific times every week or bang your head against the wall in pf for who knows how long.
deep dungeons are okay but finding groups past the base floors takes too long and doing it solo is too punishing if you die.
extreme trials are fun but only while you're progging them, farming them for mounts while they're current is enough to make someone lose their mind.
even with the flaws you point out i like bozja and eureka more than anything else in this game because they offer significant grinds for weapons and armor, can be done solo and in groups, BA and DRS are difficult enough to be fun but not so difficult that you need to play it like a job, essences/lost actions/logos actions mix things up a lot, and it actually feels like an MMO.
also i used to think eureka was better but i have given bozja a second chance and the essences/lost actions system alone pushes it ahead for me. plus the duels are really fun and satisfying to beat even if the 1 hour cooldown fricking sucks.
What's everyone doing anyway during this patch? Got dragged along on some more ultimate groups to help friends out but it's mostly been an excuse to login and play a bit, maybe some weekly Unreals here and there too since Thordan's pretty much a free telling and retelling every week now. Not too much going on though, I wonder how sparse the content will be in the next patch before we're in a down for a few months.
literally nothing. there is nothing to do this patch. im unironically playing wow classic season of discovery and having a ton of fun
Season of discovery looked really fun, I have a friend playing Warlock Tank atm and he's been having a blast so that's pretty nice. Outside of the helping runs on the side 14 definitely doesn't have much for me to do. I have to think of some more games or just maybe work on my backlog finally.
leveling crafters, helping friends, losing my min in shatter, killing cheaters in seal rock.
Crafting is a great way to save money, I got mine maxed out in SHB and the 10 levels in EW was pretty chill, made some money too since ishgardian restoration was really nice. I don't like the new shatter, and what's the cheating setup in seal rock atm?
using third party tools.
What like knowing point openings early or we talking about the clown brigade that use the anti lb thing on SAM's with limit break ready. I'm surprised that out of everything square doesn't crack down on PVP exploiters like that, considering it directly affects players.
I played tomb raider 1 and 2 and unlocked endings a and b for nier. Will go for c later today. I have no intention of resubing at least a month before new expansion drops.
Consider the following
>Nanamo enjoying a tasty cake
So, in the end... WoW outlives it, and is the better game?
Say it ain't so!
I enjoyed FFXIV 2.0, I enjoyed the game going from finance failure to saving square enix and being the sole reason other projects were made
the music was great
the pve encounters were great
it managed to capture the FF soul within an mmo game
the plot was interesting and was closed in a way, that, while some may complain about it, it resembled the ending of a proper FF mainline game
that's it, the next expansion is just milking the game for money, they should start in their next mmo, this time with proper netcode and a good engine
DRG rework better change all Nidhogg themed skills into Midgardsormr's.
I thought we would get our complementary Ala Mhigan prostitute after liberating the place, where the frick is my brown desert wiener sleeve??!?!
Sorry anon. Mhiggers are friends now despite essentially forcing Eorzea to fight their revolution for them.
>i freed you now i demand a slave
>not being thankful to your liberator
canonically everyone should want to frick the WoL anyways
Same bro, I become Khan and I don't get a harem of Xaela shepherds, it's outrageous
Ilberd won.
>the villains motives are arguably better than the heroes
I kneel...Ilberdsama...
>Gets btfo'd in every aspect
>Gets soul straight up annihilated in the afterlife
>Wins because Shinryu
Weak excuses for weak men. Ilberd lost hard and will forever be remember canonically as a punk b***h
Ishikawa is a hackfraud who hates all work before hers, that's why Ilberd is there uncharacteristically when he'd be over the moon you actually saved his people despite being an butthole. If anything, he would've been deserving of a scene where he shows some remorse but emphasizes it was the only way (which it was). Ishikawa just doesn't understand complex characters, it's rather sad.
>Anon completely forgets that the entire first half of Ilberd's plan was to kill the Scions out of pure spite and that he wished they'd all die while liberating Ala Mhigo because "You took so long you don't deserve shit, I hope as many people die in the war as possible".
Imagine being such a petty little homosexual like Ilberd. Eorzea had zero obligation to help liberate Gyr Abania, especially seeing as the Autumn War was only like seventy years prior.
>Flee Gyr Abania and become an Adventurer
>See Raubahn has become successful
>Get spiteful of this
>Years later, join Scions
>Befriend WoL, ect
>Get autisticly mad that the Scions and Eorzea dare to help Ishgard before Ala Mhigo
>Plot to kill Scions
>Aid in the Assassination of Nanamo
>Fail both tasks
>Form new faction
>Initiate false flag to drag Eorzea into war with Garlemald
>Kill own followers to summon Primal because now you think that Eorzea, Ala Mhigo and Garlemald all deserve death
>Plan partially succeeds
>Try to kill WoL in Aetherial Sea only to get soul nuked by Papalymo
The biggest, pettiest jobber ever
Being spiteful is precisely what made Ilberd a good character.
Why are people so scared of just having a villain who's legitimately an butthole? There's no need to either whitewash or blackwash him, he was fine. He's responsible for some of the biggest "Oh frick" moments in the entire game, and his plans ironically laid the foundations for a huge part of the plot.
The most dangerous villain the scions ever fought was just an ordinary man with a big chip on his shoulder.
Who was that?
>>dev team pulling the plug
Maybe in your aids infested dream wowBlack person.
>15 fell court runs
>not a single piece of maiming still
It took almost a year for me to get the healing top from third nier raid.
This reminds me, grind the NIN pieces you want before there's competition
how the hell did people hate bozja? the whole area came packed with mini trials and then an extra alliance raids on top! also whens the next free log in. i dont wanna pay yohipee shekels for noraid patch
Average xiv "enjoyer" actually hates playing the game.
Bozja haters are exclusively endwalkertoddlers who didn't play Bozja (or Eureka) when they came out and only make that arguement to defend this patch series for only having content that spoils faster than milk.
People hated Bozja when it came out, just like how people hated Eureka when it came out
There were people in ShB doing crystal tower spam to avoid completing their relic in Bozja. No content in this game is universally enjoyed, even the story
I think but it has a bunch of really annoying issues (getting into a duel, DR queue, spawning CE in general)
Problem is there isn't much incentive to spawn CEs. They didn't think the rewards system through like they did for eureka. In Eureka, you get element exp and vitilated crystals for spawning NMs, so in Pagos you HAVE to contribute to spawning to get your relic, and in Pyros it was at least encouraged when it was new because its' how you rerolled stats. In Hydatos you've got your elemental +2 gear (possibly) so you can just solo spawn everything if you have to, and at level 60 you no longer need to wait for a raise, you just eat the level down and join an NM party for a bit. Anemos at least gets you some crystals for your trouble.
Meanwhile in Bozja, you don't get shit for spawning CEs. If you got maybe 100 mettle per kill, you'd have people CONSTANTLY farming the entire area, forever. But spawning them is like trying to get a rare drop in a KMMO, just long (for this game) stretches of feeling like you're wasting your fricking time.
No eureka is complete dogshit because its nothing but trash mobs until BA
>he doesnt like to kill shit in party group
Raidgays are turbo Black folk
You don't want an MMO then, you want monster hunter.
Yes.
I do not want an MMO, MMOs are shit. FFXIV does best when it rejects MMO designs
FFXIV is still an MMO no matter how hard it rejects MMO designs. Its singleplayer gameplay will never be as good as an actual singleplayer game.
I just want to point out monster hunter is not necessarily a single player game.
I hated it myself
>Probably the worst plotline in the entire game so far
>Ruined Mikoto's character
>Getting groups of Caestrum was fricking obnoxious if you're doing it later, Dalrida was slightly better. DR was a good system but for some reason it was only DR
>No ending, lol
>Ugly as shit
>Nothing but a Fate Grind
I've heard that Eureka is better, I'll finish it one day. In the meantime, I'll post Yugiri.
>Ruined Mikoto's character
Mikoto's "character"? She's an aetherology scholar, she has Echo that sees visions of the future, she... likes Cid, but is shy? Anything else I'm forgetting?
>He did it for free all thread
be quiet homosexual
No
Best thing they can do on jp fanfest is to merge ffxi subs. Thay way i can play a good game while trying the shit yoshi prepared for DT
Finally finished all Animus books for both chars on the weekend, was sick during the week so wasn't doing much. Now to continue farming Poetics for the Alexandrite step yay.
Congratulations bro, just reminded me I still need to do my books for the PLD Relic
I should do Eureka and Bozja, but syncing black mage down to 70 and 80 just doesn't feel right. I need my Paradox. I love my Paradox.
play a different job then
there are 19 to choose from
No, I don't think I will.
so give up on playing eureka/bozja
It peaked with Heavensward
anything after that is 100% shit
have any of the dungeons subjected to a redesign for trusts actually been improved instead of made worse?
no. you could make the case for toto rak but they nerfed the boss for no fricking reason while they were at it.
Some people really hated the goop floor in Toto-rak so the rework is an improvement for them, but I think removing it just made the whole experience even more boring. Walking forward through a hallway and still putting up with the early ARR 3 button rotations is a cure for insomnia.
All of the ARR ones. Aetherochemical Research Facility.
Sohr Khai is a 50/50.
Modding has ruined the game, it's not that I really mind people modding. It's that it has become the "default" and people are now expecting you to mod as well. You can't even talk to someone before the ask you for "Mare?" within 3min of a conversation.
>You can't even talk to someone before the ask you for "Mare?" within 3min of a conversation.
I would call this bs since you can just report those people if they even try to talk about mods in-game and they know it.
They ask it in a way like "Do you have moon code?" so it's not really reportable.
They should remake Verminion into a dungeon crawler.
>Remember when new expansion would be the highlight of Ganker threads
>We'd be defending against homosexual mods while talking about cool shit
>Now it's just endless doomposting and cuckery
Have to wait until fanfest then we will get like 3 threads that get 800+ post then shitposters/doomposters will call it shit, this has been the norm for years and you think they would get tired of just hating on the game.
I love how shitposters and doomies are too shit-scared to say anything while things are being eagerly and excitedly discussed and only come in afterwards to pick at the scraps and leave a skid mark while most everyone has already moved on. Actual bottom feeders.
The few that do get completely ignored, it was pretty funny how they posted spoilers in super slow threads when endwalker came out and when people started to get done they got completely drowned out by people enjoying the game .
The desperation is legitimately palpable.
They'll be crying about maintenance mode and trannies 5 expansions from now. By that time, we'll probably also get to hear how shit forays are and how it was way more sovl when we had superior criterions in Endwalker and Dawntrail, and that them being too lazy to add new criterions is a testament to how dead the game is and how lazy the devs are.
There was a lot of shittalking during the EU fanfest. Don't know how you missed it.
If your character was sent back to level 1, stripped of all gear, currency, materials and had their retainers locked up, all quests have been completed, leves won't refresh, how long would it take to level back up to max level?
Go to bozja and get easy level so probably not that long, also forgot about deep dungeons
True.
The best way to reenact that scenario would be to get a max level character and toss all your gear into retainers and impose those rules upon yourself.
this would be fun
However long it takes to buy a boost, much better value than spending time playing trash to level a job.
why are you still subbed if you hate the combat at all levels?
i still have fond memories of leveling some jobs killing mobs around the overworld
Dungeons are the fastest way to level, period. They take between 12 and 15 minutes, we'll say 15 because the math is easier. You gain about 3/4 of a level per dungeon without boosts.
So 90 levels * 1/4 hour per dungeon = 22.5 level-hours per dungeon. Divided by .75 levels per dungeon, you wind up with 30 hours.
But what about gear and reaching the 50/60/70/80 threshold?
just get the tome gear
bros I am mega hype for shadoebringers 3.0!
Me too.
>be me
>like thing
>get more of thing
>good times
Simple as.
No, you must be like ME
>be me
>don't like thing
>get more of thing I don't like
>continue playing
>continue seething at getting thing I don't like that I've been getting since the start
Stupid consoomer.
You can’t be that, you have to want things to always change for some reason
True. I really want the game I played and enjoyed for several expansions to reinvent the wheel and become totally different every time so that I can go from being "meh" about a patch at worst to absolutely loathing entire expansions because they are exactly what I don't want to play.
Because getting more of what I like is "stagnation."
Yeah great idea to keep doing the same shitty and boring things over and over again even when the audience is constantly complaining about them.
>things that attracted people to the game are "the same shitty and boring things"
>no you don't get it we need to do completely different things from what pulled the original playerbase in... because I, guy who doesn't like the current or any version of the game, SAY SO.
So yes, you are indeed an outsider trying to tell a game you don't like to change to suit your interests. Or rather, you're trying to gaslight people into wanting it to be completely different from how it was when they started it so that it runs them off.
Funny, when you look at percentage of people running content.. the achievements are quite low. So who's doing this content? A very small group of morons.
And that "small group of morons" are actual players, unlike you, whose main hit against the game is "IT ISNT WHAT I WANT."
And then when asked to elaborate, it turns out the game has never been what you wanted it to be and you've never actually play it because you're just a seether taking potshots from the sidelines.
Audience is always complaining.
>to keep doing the same shitty and boring things
Those "shitty and boring things" are why the game has continued to grow with every expansion. Maybe when a game keeps getting bigger year after year despite you not liking it, the issue is that you simply don't like it, not that the game is bad.
Not every game needs to be for you, and if you don't like a game, don't expect it to suddenly change to suit the whims of a tourist like you.
But it isn’t shitty or boring for me and I been playing for 10 years.
bayzed
btfo the tourist
You must be addicted. Gaming addiction does happen to many people.
Again, nobody is playing this content. And yet you're still defending it. I guess because you ran it means it was worthwhile. you need to look beyond your own nose. People aren't wrong for wanting different content.
I can't wait to farm tomestones of axewound from the new rehashed boss bros.. its going to be SO epic..
Same! I am excited to get to do more of what I've enjoyed for the past several expansions.
so what did you enjoy? what are you currently doing?
The exact same things I do every expansion, anon.
>b-but you need to JUSTIFY that to me
I do not. If you can't think of anything the game provides to do, then that's not an Endwalker problem because every expansion is virtually identical. No, repeating FATEs in an instanced zone isn't "more content".
Can't even name those things?
Sure, anon. I can't name those things.
Are you being paid? If you keep repeating that you enjoy this stale, boring formula, at least say what you actually like. Do you even play the game?
Why don't you tell me what Endwalker doesn't have that is "real content" that Shadowbringers and Stormblood did have?
>muh doing fates in an instance
quit getting embroiled in a pissing contest
I'm not lmao.
I just know this whole "there is no content explain what ur doing" shtick. Nothing I say is going to suffice, and when I ask him to point out what counts, he'll just duck out of it with some excuse like "i don't need to give you an example ur a slop eater I win"
It's such a trite tactic.
>i'm not lmao i just totally am
quit feeding him
>calling someone out on their old and lazy tactic is "getting embroiled in a pissing contest"
>i literally cannot stop pushing (You)s into his mouth that's not doing anything wrong lmao
quit getting embroiled in a pissing contest
The guy telling him to stop getting in a pissing contest might have been the only time a second person was actually in that conversation. Why would you take that from him?
i like the new mechanics in criterion
i love ultimates and reclearing them as well as helping in c41s
i can't stand savage anymore
i still do eureka BA and nm farming for rare items
what new mechanics, moron?
>he doesn't know
let me guess, you didn't try it because... because an e-celeb said it's bad content or because your time is too important to use it in actual content instead of doomposting?
hmm yeah a tightly telegraphed attack. and some stacks, and then separations. and then some raidwide damage. It's so hard!!!!
Tell us about some games you like with reel(tm) innovative mechanics.
He doesn't know because he doesn't actually play.
so what killed this piece of ratshit?
I shot the servers with a gun.
nasty little troony
New change regarding raids and alliance raids
You have to start from the first floor everytime you do your weekly clears. This effect will stack with the later additions of future floors. Can't do P12 until you clear out P1-11.
Wiping in an alliance raid will send you all the way back to the first boss.
2.3k hours
The game is shit filled with dweebs who want to pretend they have a social life
It's clear xivvies willingly eat the bugs at this point.They own nothing and they are happy
Sure. And?
>no you can't just like things I don't like that's verboten and NOT wholesome
Doomies are literally fingerwagging nannies lol.
please be patient with the soiteens, most of them are busy making an ass out of themselves trying to dox zone and minus8, which better trolls have tried and failed at
>why won't game just completely change to cater to me, a person who has never liked nor played it, at the expense of the existing playerbase that does enjoy it and has been here for years
Hmh.... deep, philosophical questions indeed. On the level of "if I don't like games that aren't CoD, why is this game of chess still not a CoD copy?"
normal people:
>this type of game or its content format doesn't interest me, i'm not going to play it
spiteful Ganker shitposters with a grudge
>this type of game or its content format doesn't interest me. here's how that's the game's fault and how my personal disinterest in it is a mark of how objectively bad it is and how it needs to change to be unidentifiable to its original playerbase
