There is definitely good ERP and bad ERP. Just as there's good RP and bad RP.

It doesn't entirely rely on length, though getting more details to work with are generally a bonus. Moreso; are they adding to the scene, are they playing an actual character that has habits and personality beyond their own, do they take care to get inspiration from the world you're in (using ilm instead of inches, yalm rather than yards, etc).

These are objective. You don't do these things, and there's no way you can call yourself a good roleplayer, because you're not playing a role. You're just cybering.

And this doesn't give a pass to people who feel the need to 'raise their brow' to pad their writing with 2 paragraphs of shit for a simple nod.

We're never gonna hear the end of it now are we? SMNs are gonna be whining for new egi every patch that brings a new primal. Truly the most entitled job.

You can just play normally and have the lore needed in 6 weeks at most.

When you could literally have 18 Summoners in the same alliance on a PS2 in AA fight, or 36 in Dynamis.

You could have 100 Summoners in the same zone in the open world as well if you wanted to. Hell tons of summoners would stand outside the city and cast their summons to level summon magic all the time.

XIV really is the hands down best definition of a polished turd, of value in only the most shallow way, and MMOs are supposed to be about depth

They're willing to admit when they're wrong. They're willing to communicate and improve and most of all respect their fans. They level with us, tell us sometimes that things won't happen.

PS3 limitations are being removed in Stormblood.
This doesn't mean existing content will be less restrictive, but it does mean new city areas will probably consist of a single zone.

Also is anyone else worried about the direction of the story? Rhalgrs Reach is apparently the new hub, but that's a fucking guerilla camp not the Ala Mhigo city proper. It makes me worried they're going to cockblock us from making any real impact on that world again because it'd be too hard to integrate a city you can't access until level 70. Unless AM will be the new Revenants Toll/Idyllshire but that's even more retarded.

I'd say start out getting used to WASD while using the mouse to turn.

I also wouldn't use number keybinds above 5 or 6, depending on what's comfortable for you. Use letters/mouse buttons that are free to fill out the rest, and then Shift/ctrl+ whatever for extra bars, though keybinds are a matter of preference.

Well how do you pvp using a controller? I can't imagine selecting through a group of people is all that well. One of the reasons I want to go K+M is because using a controller doesn't have enough space for me to attack and move at the same time since people are always on the move.

going by my last 5 "RP FCs," It's because it's "out of the ordinary." I mean you have to take a look at Balmung as a whole, the entire server suffers from snowflake syndrome where everyone tries to make their character "unique" somehow, but always comes off as literally EDGY tumblr snowflake crap. Lemme give you an example

In my first ever RP FC I joined, some guy RP'd as a catgirl Warrior who basically fought Titan, Garuda, Ifrit 1v1 and killed them, yes killed them. She was also a master singer, bard, dragoon, ninja, and a former courtesan.

Oh, did I mention she was also a warrior of light?

Keyboard and Mouse is so easy in this game, it's all muscle memory. I don't know how people can play this damn game with a controller because targeting is fucked without a mouse. You have to cycle between targets which is a huge waste of time in PVP and these new fights with lots of adds.

I quit Legion back in October or so and have been playing FFXIV for a little over two years.

I think WoW is still a superior game in a few ways but Blizzard managed to fuck over their own game by making the game more and more a Skinner Box than some Free to Play Korean MMOs. They've introduced Diablo style loot (Can't just hope for the drop: gotta hope for a good Titanforged roll as well!) and a constant chase of Artifact Power that Blizzard has shown they will never let you cap Talent points. FFXIV has daily/weekly caps to show you to go off and do something else: WoW uses time gated caps to let you know you'll never keep up unless you keep playing.

I never had the feeling that I was playing more because I had to than because I wanted to than I did in Legion.

>>366637774

Not sure about Sultansworn itself, I don't know if I can say "Paladin" and be done with it. I probably could.

I first figured he'd be one of the groups to help take out the Illuminati, saw the designs and concepts spread throughout the structure and decided to take enough to understand the underlying concepts and start making his own twist on things, borrowing domains of power from Alexander to fuel them.

This assumes that would be acceptable beyond the usual "group of heroes delves into the giant machine and destroys the soul of the primal".

Sultansworn and Paladins are the same thing. It wouldn't be totally difficult to explain being in there as an Au Ra, but it would be something worth explaining. They are in a shitty place right now with nobody trusting them and hardly any power, so they might be desperate for recruits.

Alexander, because he's a Goblin primal, would basically just have design concepts that the Illuminati would already understand. That's why he has the steampunk look like their other stuff. I'm only suggesting that you use the normal Illuminati mechs and stuff instead so nobody thinks you're one of THOSE people who went and fought with the WoL.

I suppose that, as someone who's mainly played WoW and never got into XIV beyond the very first public trial version, the difference of opinion within the respective playerbases probably says something. Even most people who play WoW agree that Legion is shit, for one thing.

I just do my roulettes on my tank, but in all seriousness they need to address how tanks play cause that shit isn't fun otherwise people aren't going to touch them.

There are multiple reasons why tank is the most desired role and least played. Pressure keeps out new players, their lack of doing anything cool keeps out the medium people, and the overall boring playstyle they have keeps out anyone long term.

Can't stand how boring they made them all, and I sincerely hope for significant reworks in SB and I really hope SAM isn't a tank, because after DRK the dream of a well thought out tanking job flew right out the fucking window.

Was there a reason behind designing the game around four player "light parties?" That's restricting two DPS to every tank and healer you can match up, a five player party would get three DPS into their dungeons for every tank and healer you can find.

A combination of that and the removal of this games obsession with dps over mechanics would fix a lot of issues.

Slightly unrelated but they also need to remove all debuffs on jobs. If anything makes jobs irrelevant its % boosts that only a few jobs benefit from. DRK almost single-handedly removed 4 jobs from the meta. Some indirect others very direct.

I hope they drop it, its a gimmick stat that provides almost no benefit over any other form of mitigation.

Dropping more and more stats means less and less actual option select. Sooner or later it won't even be "pick between x, y, z for best stat" which is shit. Probably use it as an excuse to stop putting gear drops in things and make everything Tome based.

I'd much rather them find a way to make it work. Also if they do make SAM an OP Parry tank with a new Parry stat it'd be great if it would get WAR players to fuck off

I agree its a slippery slope but don't even pretend its anything other than a hassle right now. If you spend a majority of the gearing process actively seeking out things that don't have the stat after you have enough its failed its purpose.

I'd be all for them reimplementing it in an interesting and well designed way. But I'm not so naive to think that this team can do it.

I have zero faith in Yoship and the people behind this game to design anything worth a shit mechanically.

Maybe, but it's just a shitty bandaid solution for the real problem which is people being too pussy to play tanks and healers and gravitating to DPS instead because it's easier.

>>366645370
Good news, you don't actually have to do any openers or combos to succeed as a DPS. In fact, you don't have to do anything at all. Just AFK at the start of the instance, and the rest of the group will pick up the slack.

XIV's rp community is garbage.

You can't change any other issue, look at literally every single MMO in the world and realize that people don't like playing tank due to pressure, lack of things that do flashy shit, and how design space always dictates 90% of what they do which is stand in front of something and press a cooldown every 20 seconds.

Face the fact that we can only alleviate the issue instead of fix it outright, cause you are naive as fuck to think that any permanent solution can be reached.

Up the party size, add more dps, call it a fucking day.

The idea of monks as warrior priests makes a whole lot of sense if you consider unarmed combat to be a kind of "less than lethal" approach. They fight like that because they want to end hostilities without taking life. That's cool. It makes sense.

100 years ago, Ala Mhigo decided to attack Gridania to expand their territory. Because the Elementals can kill anything that comes within the magical barrier around the forest, the Ala Mhigans simply burned the forest down as they went. They demanded the Seedseers as wards as part of their terms of surrender. Luckily for Gridania, Ishgard put their crusade on hold to come fuck up the Ala Mhigans and then Ul'dah and Limsa saw an opportunity and hopped on board.

That can't be right.

All of the MNK weapons have a bar in them that the fingers wrap around. If that was the case, then when the fists tighten to go into a running animation, the fingers would clip into the bar.

Also, when doing something like Elixir Field, it would look like you're letting go of the weapons entirely.

How could it be the same animations when the /cpose looks so stiff in the hands compared to all the other animations?

You missed out on a bad, purposely tedious, laggy and unresponsive game that improved over patches and became better but not good enough so it had to be remade and it had great potential lost after ARR

The only good thing about it is that the music was better, the game looked nice (aside from the copy-paste zones) it was pretty original in terms of being its own Final Fantasy world (no fanservice shit) the world felt more large and relevant and in the last patches it was kinda fun. You can still experience the distorted "Answers" theme playing when the Anniversary arrives.
>>
>>366648179
The Elementals don't have much power to act anymore after the Calamity fucked up the aether, and they're also not very intelligent. In 1.0, Garlemald decided to bomb the forest from the air, and the Elementals got extremely pissed. Instead of attacking anyone who deserved it, the Elementals turned the forest against Gridanians and personally appeared to start blowing Wood Wailers into clouds of aether.

>And they have the balls to ask Gridania to accept them as refugees?
Funnily enough, the Elementals did allow a very select few of Ala Mhigans to stay in the forest, including Yda. The ones they chose are all hard-working, law-abiding citizens who live and work in Quarrymill. Compare them to the vast majority that the Elementals sent packing to Ul'dah.

>>366649058
yes you consume(lose) +30 weapon/armor aetherpool for the 235 weapon, and to upgrade to 255 you need another +60 weapon/armor, totalling +90.

Usually recommended to do it in one go instead of burning the +30 since you are stuck redoing 1-50 for some time if you do so, and floor 50+ has less chance to fail to upgrade from silver chests.

I see people with wacked out hotbars and I feel weird for having a rather basic one.

The "clipping" is because I had to window and shrink to use the snipping tool.

Mostly people wanted/expected ARR to be a better 1.0 with a good engine but it ended up being an entirely new game. Of course people liked it because is actually better but some didn't because it as different.

Personally I miss the aspect of a big open world that's relevant except for the barren copy paste part. What I hated the most about ARR was they replaced 1.0's music and the cutscenes became godawful.

Lets talk why the fuck aura fuck horses.

I don't get why they even spent time and money replacing all of the music when great tracks like Twilight Over Thanalan and On Windy Meadows were still perfectly usable. Twin Faces of Fate is so fucking cozy.

Xaela are truly something.
I wish they made concept art of Othard already or made it accessible but too bad it's mostly Garlean territory now and might ruin its natural beauty.

Somebody turned the anthropology up to 11 when they wrote that.

Fuuck I'm so salty they replaced most of it, especially Ul'dah, Limsa and their regions. Limsa's theme was Uematsu's favorite piece and it was on Distant Worlds, too.
Soken could've just made night versions of those themes.
