If you're at endgame, there's pretty much nothing to do.

The only really fun things I can do is try to pull of a perfectly buffed crit adlo. Or dick around on blm for the rare chance of getting an arrow.

played it on and off since 1.0, biggest turn offs was mainly that end game gear is generic as fuck, tried too hard being like current mmos and that they still haven't put in samurai/blue mage

Came into this hoping that it was a better xi and it wasn't even that, they should have made an mmo set in ivalice instead or something

Playerbase is terrible. It doesn't reward proficient play outside of endgame which mandates it or you instant wipe.

Game has no development resources despite being a flagship product which is why it hasn't taken any risks other than seeing how long they can drag the playerbase along on a shoestring budget.

I wanted to like it, everything in this game looks good, music is great, combat is a snorefest but its an mmo I can deal with that, the real problem is theres absolutly no community between players in this game, game feeks completly solo oriented, no one ever talks, shit, you dont even need to know people to run dungeons sice they just party you up with random people, which you wont even talk to, if I wanted to play a gane like this, I would just play a single player game with good story and combat.

>>323966829

At least in WoW there was trade chat to have some sort of community, not in FFXIV. I rarely ever see people talking or talk to people outside DF and the problem with DF is 99% of the time its people not on your server so you can't even make friends there.

>>323967364
People mostly talk within their FCs and LSs, so join those if you want people to talk to. The people who are social in local chat hang out in endgame HW areas.

They could have simply took the good parts of 1.23 and then given it a new coat of paint + much needed redone server.
>>
>>323963554

FFXI fans hate it for not being FFXI-HD.

For anyone whose not an autistic nostalgiafag, it's fucking great up until 20 hours into level 60 when you reach the current high endgame content which is a series of poorly designed gear checks with poor job balance, based on content everyone already did at entry level endgame for gear that has now been outdated in a multitude of ways.

the game is good enough while your leveling and maybe after 10 - 20 hours at max level while youre trying to gear up... but for most people who've been playing for more than 1000 hours theres not much else to do.
If you can get it cheap like in the last humble bundle is worth it, but dont buy the expansion right away unless youre really sure you want to play as the horse fucker race

nearly all of the DPS jobs have the same routine of 2 or so debuffs to keep up with a main combo until that falls off
tanks are literal braindead

also, in retrospect, the movement and camera feel very stiff.

I'm enjoying it alright. It's a bit lacking in the end game department, but since I'm still rather new, I still have plenty of stuff to distract me with.

Too bad I can't play the game though due to the horrible NA routing issues that neither SE nor the ISP's are communicating on.

It was a hell of a time for WTFast to announce they were doing away with their free version.

That's not called perfect difficulty, it's called a fight that was tuned like shit

The perfect difficulty level would be 2nd coil or very slightly higher. Actually, Savage 2nd coil with regular 2nd coil numbers.

A3S was overtuned and A4S has garbage mechanics. Judgement Nisi is bullshit with everything else going on in that fight.

Yeah I actually skipped out on savage Melusine because I was burned out from 6/8/9 and FC drama. By the time I went to it Final Coil was a week away so we just dropped it at like 20%.

There were a couple things that are maybe a bit too punishing/random (swarm can RNG fuck you, some of the tower timings are a little extreme, etc) but savage 6 and 8 are a couple of my favorite fights and savage 9 was a crazy nail biter.

You could get good gear 2 months after it was released if you weren't one of those stupid casuals who complained that they couldn't instantly beat the hardest content in the game by joining a random group in PF.
>>
>>323963554
It's just not a game with fun mechanics. Very slow, very static push-button type stuff. It's not engaging or entertaining, there's very little to master about the gameplay, there's nothing to customize about your character's stats and mechanics, and it just doesn't keep you enthralled the way a good game should. Just look at the new Relic weapons, they require doing old dungeon content and FATEs and all that, and sure enough the first thing people do is bitch about it. They bitch about actually having to play the game. If it were really and truly fun, that sort of thing wouldn't happen.

So basically there's nothing fun about the game. Pretty good reason for someone to hate a game, I'd say.
>>
>>323973017
Savage T9 was primarily a healer check. Bunch of VIT melds on everyone for safety reasons because fuuuuuuck keeping people alive during second meteor set if you keep getting targeted as the healer.

Everything else in that fight is rather managable.

Personally, because it differs in core aspects to FFXI and I wanted something like FFXI. Maybe less grindy.

my weeb friends and boyfriend are playing currently, and they're praising it like te godsend of MMO, with the worst possible excuses thrown around; "When what the last time a WoW raid boss DIDN'T have a round/square boss room?!" or "I think it's great having a single tier of endcontent; everyone will be more focuses, plus it'll feel great once you're done!" and even "Even if the loot tables are a bit off, it's a great opportunity to meet new people everytime you run a 24man!"

the na player base sucks for harder content

the people progressing are stuck with the one or two rotten apples every party
the statics are always disorganized
the "A3S is hard don't do it" meme keeps growing, not allowing people to get exposed to it
it ends up the casual playerbase fantasia-ing to lalafells in undies and do the manderville in idyllshire and yell in shout until new content comes out

Because the people I spent getting to know for a year and a half tore our FC apart and treated the time we spent together like it was nothing. Now whenever I look at the launcher I feel sick.

>>323966829
This was the kicker that got me off MMOs for good. The fact absolutely no one fucking talks/communicates whatsoever in not only ARR but virtually every modern MMO today means the entire genre has completely died. Everything good about the genre is dead based on that alone and nothing else.

I mean fuck, I was in guilds where no one fucking talked. At least 20-30 people online and nothing. What's worse is that devs cater towards people like this. I call this new, corrupted genre of the MMORPG the SPGMPE.

Single-Player Game with Multi-Player Elements. Go on and solo-quest the entire game, maybe grind out some pointless tradeskill or crafting, and if you really wanna play with others (which is like playing with NPCs), go run a dungeon with people you'll never see again.
>>
>>323979067

I mostly find this is the case in WoW-like/themepark MMOs. I recently played Runescape for the first time and people went out of their way to talk to new players and help them, it was the weirdest experience after playing WoW and FFXIV for the last who knows how many years.

Lalafells are attentionwhores who spout memes and think it's funny to be small. Cats are attentionwhores who ERP, like to bicker like a middle schooler, and think it's cute to act reatarded.

>>323979067

MCH feels a lot more like 2.0 SMN than 3.0 BRD does. 3.0 BRD sure as hell isn't BLM though, you just can't pull 2 off globals between GCDs anymore, which admittedly is a fuckup on SE's part.
>>
>>323979623
This is just me talking as someone without the expansion so i don't know how it is at 60, but when I do 50 stuff on my WHM, I really don't like co-healing with an AST.

This probably will change at 60 when we both have our full kit though.
>>

How arduous are the new Relics without raiding?

I'm almost cleared with 3.0, I only do the story when I can play with a friend who can't play that often... so I'll probably be trying to farm Relic Weapons on various classes.

Also, which DPS class should I level after I get WAR done? PLD and DRK are at 60, thinking about taking a break from the healers.

You aren't alone anon.

I miss what I used to have as well, lots of really good memories, probably the best times I've ever had with an online group. I had never even played an MMO seriously before XIV and they were the first real online group I'd have called friends.

The longer I've been away the more I'm starting to think that regretting it is the worst thing you can do. Remember the good times, and little by little you gotta move on. It isn't going to be easy--I still think about them often--but it'll slowly get better. Dwelling on it will just make you feel horrible.

The hardest part is finding people who can craft you the HQ 60 2 star mats. If you're in a dead server god help you.

Most forgiving right now is MNK. You can pump out giant numbers without having to worry about much beyond keeping stacks up.

BLM is great but the game will see fit to focus all aoe on you as soon as you drop leylines.
>>
>>323981563
Every time you clear a NORMAL alex floor, you get a new gordian item

10 of these items gives you an unidentified item for your relic

You need 20 of these unidentified items.

You don't ONLY have to do alex though, you can use the law you get from daily roulettes to supplement the items you're getting from alex for example.

depends on the class, PLD being "1-2-3-repeat" is kind of a meme

Yeah, my friend plays BLM and she's complained in nearly every dungeon an AoE circle will fall on her as soon as she drops Leylines.

It's not worth it, get good and get your Thordan weapon, with any luck you'll be able to get a 210 weapon from 3.2's outset.

As far as dps goes you can just pick a melee, the differences between them are fairly superficial and tanks are essentially melee with defensive cds instead of offensive and no positional attacks.

Jeeze, lots of reasons. People in game actually play it, rather than just shitpost. People in game would, you'd think, defend the game they're spending their time in. They don't, though, because none of them want to do dungeons or FATEs because the game is ultimately boring. You wouldn't see this happening if FFXIV was an engaging experience, but the nature of the gameplay ensures it isn't.

As much as everyone abuses the Nisi cheese strat, I wish A4S was mechanically more complex besides a mechanic that's sole purpose is to make the healer's life further of a hell.

That's wrong though. Wow through TBC required lots of communication and teamwork. There are plenty of other older themepark MMOs that pushed teamwork like City of Heroes and EQ2 that demanded it. It's only in MMOs made after 2010 that have this problem.

Why would I want to play a game that has no longterm goals to work towards? Why would I subscribe to a mmo that has such an incredibly gutted social aspect? The combat sucks cock and you're forced to deal with shitty static groups and raid for hours and hours for uninteresting gear that just gets replaced by the time you even get a full set of the b shit. Not to mention weekly caps on EVERYTHING. WHY EVEN LET PEOPLE LEVEL MULTIPLE THINGS IF YOU CAN'T DO ALL THE THINGS? FUCK THIS GAME IS SHIT!

The worst part?
You know how goblins are gifted in terms of engineering and mechanics? How the whole point of Alex in the narrative is as a kind of paradise for Goblins? How they wanted a home that fit their nomadic lifestyle? And how the central theme of Heavensward is flight?

Well guess fucking what?
Final Fantasy already had two separate summons that would fit the bill perfectly; the airship/transformer robot Ark from IX, and the flying paradise Eden.
They dragged Alexander's image as a holy, alabaster fortress through the mud; gave him a malapropos steampunk aesthetic and black paintjob, and handed him to a bunch of dirty rat greasemonkeys- all for no reason.

I think it's about time Yoshida admits he's a hack and he's just riding on the fact that he saved a game most FF players would have ignored.

He really doesn't know what to do with XIV anymore, he's a one trick pony. You can only keep recycling patch 2.1 so many times before people catch on that we're getting the same content each patch.

But knowing Yoshida, he wont ever come out and apologize for the state 3.0 is in. Hell this year he's going on tour so he wont be around much to see development of XIV.

Terrible design philosophy. I mean, just look at their approach to the game.

So, tomestone grinding is a horrible, banal chore and nobody likes doing it because it boils down to doing the same dungeons, pressing the same buttons, in the same order, over and over and over again. So naturally, people want to "speedrun" dungeons. For whatever reason, SE doesn't like this. So you have two good options to fix this speedrun problem, really:

1. make the tomestone grind less shitty
2. make the gameplay more involved and interesting

So which one do they go with? Well, they go with neither. They instead gate the dungeon behind walls to stop you from going too fast, making the whole instance take ever longer. So you get stuck doing a grind you don't want to do, at a pace you don't want go at, to buy a bunch of widgets you don't need, because in six months you'll have to do this exact thing all over again.

I've got to say I love the game. But I don't play it like most people. I take a small bite every day or so and I don't bother with endgame content until the next patch comes out and turns the highest ilvl gear into welfare shit.

It doesn't solve the problem that low level grinding is boring as shit. All the dungeons have the same layout and the only thing remotely engaging is the bleeding edge endgame you're missing out on.

What ultimately killed it for me was how fucking one sided they made the jobs. There is zero customization, the illusion that is the cross class system is such garbage. Not to mention they build every fucking trial/raid/dungeon to be done only one way. They took the trinity amd shoved it so far up their ass that every job can only be played ONE way. Boring as fuck man, I had my fun with it but thats what it boiled down to for me at the end.

Instant casts also means you can't lock them down by having someone sit on them since taking damage normally interrupts casting.

It's been mentioned a couple of times both on and off-record that the dev team were interested in pursuing yearly expansions. And it checks out given the endgame design (Alex having two arms, the Void Ark story being half-baked, etc.).

The patches between expansions meanwhile are basically an exercise in stretching content as thinly as possible; while SE shunts all their remaining manpower and profit off into KH3, VII:Re and XV. So expect 3.2 to have one new primal, one new raid, 2 new dungeons with a new tomestone to farm, maybe a new Gold Saucer attraction and some QoL shit like new hairstyles thrown in to fill the gaps. We're never getting patches like 2.1 again simply because those early, content-rich patches were mostly made using recycled 1.0 assets.

Anyway where do you guys think 4.0 will take us?

They sort of had this with Synastry but then they threw the baby out with the bathwater and turned it into Divine Seal 2.0.

Here's what I'd do to make AST more unique:
Synastry's potency is reduced to be what it was originally in 3.0 and changed into a permanent status effect; the previous cooldown now becomes the cooldown on assigning your Synastry target.
Ewer and Spire increase spell and skill speed by 3%. Bole now has a 10% Convalescence effect in addition to +10% Defense, and Spear (when applied) also reduces the cooldown of skills already on-cooldown by 5%.
Collective Unconscious effect is reverted and is changed to a 30 second cooldown off-GCD (basically it's now a free Sacred Soil or Regenga depending on stance- with the downside that it's still a channeled skill).
Celestial Opposition extends the duration of AST buffs by 5 seconds, and all others by 3 (Raging Strikes, Holmgang, Hallowed Ground, EVERYTHING).
Aspected spells are now either pure HoTs or pure shields. The direct-heal component of Aspected benefic/helios is eliminated and the MP cost subsequently lowered.
Shuffle cannot re-draw the same card.
Gravity applies Heavy + Slow.
Stella is removed, its effect is given to Malefic 1 and a new skill is added that "Inverts" the currently drawn card and lets you apply it as a debuff to enemies (eg. Inverted Ewer = MND and INT-down, Inverted Balance = Reduces enemy damage, etc.).
Disable is reverted to its 3.0 function but is altered to ignore autoattacks

That ought to do it.

>>324013020
I remember when they were first added and asking a friend who changed to one about how helmets work with the horns since miqo'te elezen and lalafell get stuff on they ears. He told me they made it so their horns are always visible sonce that's like their main thing. Now I know it's just them being lazy as fuck and not wanting to do any extra modeling to make any sort of armor on them.

To be fair, horns are different from ears.

Flexible ears are easy to slide into a helmet.

Gigantic horns like what au ra have aren't going to go into a helmet.

>but anything that requires modeling specific stuff for them (helmets, legs, etc) is obviously out of the question.
Pretty much.
Maybe if this were 1.0 since they had tools back then which could tweak armour meshes to accommodate tails/long ears/etc. but that shit was all cut out due to PS3 limitations. Now they just model gear around those things or say fuck it and just let it clip.

Oh and while Miqo'te racial gear doesn't have tail slits Allagan gear does. Just try and make sense of that.

You won't get banned for using a parser, you get banned for talking about it, because they don't want the already retarded playerbase feeling bad because the SCH is shitting out more damage than the BRD.

See that's the problem. People can only talk about parsers on mumble and in statics. There are way too many people who will never have a clue what to do and that makes df and pf a pain. This encourages people sticking with a small circlejerk to static with. I want an MMO not a single player game with a few co-op missions. Other games do single player and co-op way better, so why bother paying a monthly fee?

Not that guy but Guild Wars 2 has their own version of elves which are plant people.

But it turns out the community hates them because they're the jews of GW2 (in that they're the cause of everything) and are the devs' pet race.

they live like elves would in other media so it doesn't bother me.

they're a literally young race (like 20~ something)

I think it's pretty fitting anyways because most elves tend to be incredibly reliant on trees anyways so there's not much of an issue if they're born from it

I quit on my second month. From my experience most characters are RMT bots and many players have alts especially crafters. Population is ridiculously low. The only places that are populated are main towns but most of them are afk FOR DAYS.
