>>376604158
Of course. part of the reason for it is to let shitheads continue being shit while having DPS that isn't as shit.

The other reason is the level 70 rotation probably won't allow juggling between it AND Astral Fire AND Enochian so they made perma enochian, but then it begs the question on what Enochian will do now (unless they just threw it out) and what blizzard IV will do.

People cry about the stupidest things. We got 10 lvls, how is 5 levelling dungeons any bad? A dungeon every 2 lvls is the perfect balance.

TBC had a dungeon for every level!
Although some of them were basically different wings of the same place.

5 dungeons for 10 levels of leveling is fine though. What isn't fine is that
- We'll only get 2 dungeons at the cap for the "roulette" instead of all the SB dungeons being brought up to level cap stats for the expert roulette.
- None of the dungeons are really unique design-wise and some of them don't even feel like real places in the world all because they got it through their heads that if every dungeon aren't exactly the same then people won't wanna run them instead of coming up with giving players something to run them for

You know the real problem with the game? I thought of it hard and long and it's tomestones. Fucking tomestones.
Originally they were though of as a way to mitigate raid drop luck, but they quickly turned into easily accessible welfare that allows you to outgear all the content by doing pretty much no work at all. This has to stop because if people aren't easily at cap-10 level a couple of months into the tier this suddenly opens up possibilities to
- Give nontrivial rewards from dungeons
- Have hard dungeons with raid minus 10 gear rewards
- Have rewards from Diadem hold non-trivial value
- Have rewards from 24-man hold non-trivial value
And so on.

Not him, and I can't think of any, but I also can't think of any when I think of recent WoW or Wildstar or any other MMO I played recently.

MMOs have just been following the same formula and I think you or your little friends should stop acting like this is a xiv exclusive flaw.

Ah but that's boss mechanics. What about everything else? Why do we have to go through 20 minutes of garbage before there's an interesting thing for 3 minutes? Why not take some of those mechanics and spread them across the dungeon? What if in Xelphatol there were multiple Garuda summoners and they'd try to push you with gale winds from time to time? What if Great Gubal Library was actually one big hall where we were supposed to go up ramps and get books that have enemies in them before the final boss appears? What if in Aery Estinien was tagging along the entire time and we'd have to stand in his shield from time to time to hide from powerful lightning? Give me fucking ANYTHING at all

>>
>>376605937
Gubal Library HM has some interesting ideas, such as the magnet shit and the elemental mechanics at the last boss.
>>
>>376605715
I don't really know anything about Wildstar but let's take a look at current WoW if you so desire.

Violet Hold albeit being 100% recycled from WotLK is a place where you defend one room against enemies spawning from random places and bosses are chosen at random every week. Unique.

Court of Stars involves you invading a part of city that you can also visit during normal gameplay. There you have to disable alarm posts to make the following boss easier, bait second boss' minions so that it's possible to fight her at all and find a spy inside a crowd based on clues given by NPCs. Unique.

Arcway. Pathway through this dungeon is random every week though you'll probably kill every boss anyway. This is also involved in one of the last boss' mechanics.

Eye of Azshara is an open area. It's still linear order of bosses but it feels like an actual place in the world and if you try you can actually kill some things out of order.

Vault of the Wardens requires you to use an item in the dungeon to light up the darkness on the lower level which makes enemies targetable and removes ground snares. This mechanic is also kept for the final boss battle.

So that's at least half of them with something memorable to do.
>>
>>376606254
That's boss mechanics, not dungeon mechanics, and all boss mechanics you mention are actually rehashes from raids. Which is fine, but not special.

Loving this meme! A3S was killed before week 3 when people got weapons.
>>
>>376607635
If your raid annihilates the entire raiding community to the point where it is still trying to recover, then yeah it was blatantly overtuned. Overtuned doesn't necessarily mean "mathematically impossible to clear".

I don't understand how people like you can white-knight Gordias even after that whole shitshow that was 3.0s endgame.
>>
>>376607894
>responding
>>
>>376607894
Tuning generally refers to numerical values, such as damage, time, etc. What it was is that it had mechanics too difficult for this game's general populace of mouthbreathers.

It was too difficult for most of its players, but it wasn't overtuned. Those are two different things and you should learn what words mean before using them.

Although even still XIV raid clear numbers are higher than those of most other MMOs so I dunno why people are so butthurt. Probably because honestly besides raiding everything in this game sucks a mean one.
>>
I'll probably get Stormblood later when it's on sale, but I dislike that they're adding even more difficulties for raids. I liked Coil because it was all brand new stuff to experience, while Alexander was more of the same with some different mechanics and no new story.

They're thinking of adding an extra fight for those who cleared all of Savage. It's supposed to be different, but it's not 100% certain if it's coming or not. Additionally floor 4 boss will have mechanics exclusive to savage like Brute Justice. All this was said during JP fanfest.

What is the point of emergency tactics? It replaces the shield with a heal but wouldn't in a emergency shielding would have the same effect? I see use in this for situations were someone needs to be healed asap but outside of that it doesn't seem practical.
>>
>>376611096
Most of video game players don't finish games they purchase. Likewise, many people who buy MMOs actually never hit level cap. Going through MSQ campaign from start to finish alone can take 150-200 hours nowadays. This is the reason they put so much stock into their shitty MSQ scenarios, it's because that's what most players will actually see and that's what's marketable to non-MMO players. And well, that leveling campaign mostly happens in the open world zones.

There's this part where you retain subs by offering things to do at the cap but who cares when you have Mogstation!

It's for when you need the actual heals. In general you'll use it on succor since it replaces the shield with doubled heals.Basically for healing raidwide damage.

You generally won't use it on Adloquium.

imagine you're healing massive aoe, let's take Mhaci's Hellwind (Forgall), you can use soccour, but you can't spam it, the fairy's doing its own shit and probably the aoe hot is on CD (not like she's going to listen to your commands), or you could go with the other aoe heal, but you can't spam that either because of the CD, what do you do? you slap emergency and cast succour for a 300 pot aoe heal after a first succour, so you're not overwriting shields.
Else it's used when shit hits the fan and you need that emergency+adlo to top off a tank after giving him your lovely shield

There's literally nothing wrong with gauss barrel. Your basic skills have a 50% to make your next weaponskill instant with it on. You can also disable it if you have to move and attack and instantly turn it back on since it's a oGCD.

>at the end of the day, people will just google what X build is viable for Y content and everyone will follow that to not waste time and get shit done.
Goddamn this is a shitty mindset.
It's up to gamedevs to provide builds that are roughly equivalent but have different applications or playstyles. Yeah at the high end one will surely be mathematically outperforming, but if they're close enough it's gonna be fine for the majority of the population. At the very least make it possible to have two builds - one for AOE and one for single target. That's the most basic you can get. Maybe make some possibilities utility-based so whichever you choose it's just preference and has no real effect on damage you do. At the risk of triggering Yoshibrony, WoW has managed to do this right now. Most specs have more than one viable choice of talent builds. Even stat builds aren't always rigid because you might end up with a legendary item that completely alters what stat is more valuable to you.

Fuck, at least TRY to do this, I don't care if they fail.

I had a fucking drg the other day in the 51 dungeon where he never used Disembael > Chaos Trust. He just kept using the True Thrust rotation and when I called him out on it he logged out like the fag he is. Oh the pld who didn't have shield throw in Halaha NM. Or this war in Shatter who never once used her Storm Eye rotation.

Oh and don't even get me started on the fags who claim, "durr I cleared this before echo!", but then proceeds to fuck up mechanics in A12 and the white knights like Lyzi Hotpocket of Hyperion making excuses like hurr it's been a while for him give him a break.

WoW already does this and it falls prey to the same trap. Build X is most optimal in Y content so we recruit Z composition. No exceptions unless you're best friends with the raid leader or doing a "learning" group on week 1 where everyone is still researching mechanics.

Should just make it like FFXI where you have builds for every situation by switching out gears. A gear build for magic damage taken, a gear for a magical weapon skill, a gear for a physical weapon skill, a gear build for higher amounts of accuracy when the boss boost it's evasion, etc.

For some classes in WoW, there's only 1 viable build for specific content. For example the only hunters you see in mythic groups are marksman. For PVP, it's BM.

It's a start, at least. If they're also going back to tune some of the older abilities then hopefully they'll realise how inferior some of them are compared to the WAR/DRK equivalents.

Maybe put the bloody Shield Oath at level 30 rather than Sword Oath while they're at it.

Gear builds are a tricky thing because you can be denied from groups just because you didn't farm out that one hat.

>>376614749
That's true. It's not perfect. Not for every class, not for every spec. But it's the best it's ever been and the effort is there.

>>376614598
aoe is an actual problem for pld tho since most of the playerbase doesn't raid and aoe output is relevant for dungeons
>>
>>376614437
Each spec in WoW is pretty much a different class, not a slightly different version of a base class. Sure, Ice Mage and Fire Mage are different enough that they could be considered different classes in XIV, but every Fire Mage will use nearly identical talents because WoW's talent balancing is awful. Choosing between Fire Mage and Ice Mage for a fight is like choosing between BLM and SMN in XIV.

Not him, and I haven't accompanied the whole conversation so bear with me, but isn't wow in it's worst period ever when it comes to discouraging people playing multiple specs and/or classes?

I can pick between chi burst and chi wave depending on whether it's an aoe fight or a single target fight. I can choose Chi-ji when I'm lazy and I want some cheap snipe healing or Yu'lon statue when I actually need to tryhard and Synastry shit up. Movement talents are pretty much preference.

On DH I can choose Last Resort for progression or the shield talent. I pick up Spirit Bomb for M+ but go with stun thing otherwise.

Every day I play SCH is the same day as any other day. Every tier I'll spec my MCH for Crit and Det and curse when devs randomly assign skill speed as the main secondary stat for the raid gun.

I dunno. Options are always better. Even if they're worse. That's just an excuse not to try at all.

Over the months they made it easier for Alts to catch up with artifact power. But it still is a shitty system that pretty much makes people that don't no life the game main 1 role so they don't fall behind. Combined with random legendary drops, it makes early progression a clusterfuck.

Not that guy, but sure, tell me how your raid recruited retri paladins, balance druids and survival hunters. I played BC a lot and I assure, simply proposing to switch to one of these speccs wa enough to get kicked.
A pally HAD to be healer, with only 2 speccs, one for PVP and one for PVE, any other build will brand you as a troll, the other two simply didn't exist, same goes with most of the classes exept the OP ones

You have to remember that the game is balanced with Japanese console players that never touched a MMO in their life. XIV in Japan already has a stigma that it's too hardcore compared to other Japanese MMOs. It explains a lot with the direction and marketing they've going with for the past year. Making the game more accessible, remove non viable options, and make it easy for anyone to rejoin the game even if they haven't played in 3 years.
>>
>>376615742
I still have Haymaker on my bar because it's been there since launch and everything would feel different and out of place since it was gone. Featherfoot is useful in rare situations, though. I used it to dodge Earthshakers in T13 and Sephirot.

I don't give a shit how close it is to BRD in terms of casting, it still has casting, and just because you can get around it sometimes with lucky procs doesn't mean it's not still utter cancer. BRD and MCH are the only two jobs in the game that have functionality TAKEN AWAY from them once they hit a certain level, you don't change an entire job's core feature for no reason like that. Imagine if MNK suddenly lost the attack speed bonus from Greased Lightning once it hit a certain level and got increased damage to compensate, it'd cause a fucking uproar but apparently it's okay when it happens to ranged dps. I have seen new people stop playing the fucking game because they started out as BRD, hit 52, realized all the fun of the job was suddenly taken away from them and didn't want to spend an age leveling another job.

At least actual casters like BLM and SMN were built from the ground up with cast times in mind, for BRD/MCH it feels like they added it as an afterthought and made some of the abilities they were gonna get anyway exclusive to WM/GB because they knew no one would use that shit otherwise. If people wanted to play casters they'd level one of the actual caster jobs, and if Yoshi is so shit at balancing that he just can't design fights around people having both mobility and range then he should have just redesigned the jobs so they had cast times from level 1 to begin with rather than tease you with something that actually seemed fun until they almost hit 60.

It looks like shit, it feels like shit, it plays like shit, it's just complete and utter shit and the game would lose absolutely nothing of value if it were to removed.

Making a terrible build in Ragnarok Online based on my mediocre experience with RPG stats was fun until I discovered everything I knew about stats was wrong and there was no way to reset my stats (before rebirth happened), forcing me to go back to level 1 with a new character (this is fine in fast-paced games like Diablo, but not in korean-designed grinding hells). But I admit I had fun sending stupid hobos to Glast Heim with my teleport spell.
You need to find the balance between the wonders of discovery and the horrors of mistakes, or else you just surprise people with something annoying and the player will just use his free time to play something else instead of spending hours trying to figure out how basic shit works. Phantasy Star Online did this extremely well, by setting rules about how the game works (enemies archetypes, weapon types, class limitations, etc) and them breaking them as you progress in the game (old enemy types surprising you with more aggressive AI and new tricks, completely new weapon types you can't find anywhere else, typical melee weapons that are specifically designed for mages, new MAGs so you can switch builds mid-combat, etc). It's fun to discover new possibilities, not to find out that the "possibility" you picked is actually terrible and you should feel bad about your life choices.

PLD re-appearing in raids is almost completely dependent on how hard MNK will hit in SB and if the tank busters are more physical than magical. If MNK end up as top DPS or have extremely good synergy with the new DPS jobs (protip: they most likely won't), PLD is likely to come back in order to not have an overlap with Delirium/Dragon Kick and have a -10% STR on boss instead.

No, PLD making a comeback relies on DRK getting changes. DRK does more DPS, has essentially the same cooldowns and can tank any physical fight easily, and has Reprisal on top of Delirium. Unless MNK is brokenly strong you'd still rather get INT down from DRK and get raidwide DPS increases from DRG+NIN, because being able to burst a lot harder is better than doing slightly higher consistent DPS.

>>376619298
Because aggro is easy until 40 when DPS get skills like GL3/AF3, enemies don't hurt until Stone Vigil, and PLD doesn't anything locked behind Shield Oath like IB or Souleater healing.

>>
>>376621027
I think the point he was trying to make is that you already have the slowest class in the game due to Fire IV taking ages to cast, and on top of that you have to manage mana, astral/umbral and enochian.

MP can generally be ignored if you do your rotation properly, it all lines up fine with the correct amount of piety (i agree server MP ticks can fuck you sometimes though but there's still ways around it that come with familiarity with the job)

fire iv is not really that slow for the amount of damage it does, and it being slow doesn't detriment much considering all the tools you have to be able to cast while moving or move for minimal amounts of time, and that's not mentioning the ways your spell speed will be boosted over the course of a fight

astral and umbral, again, rotation, can be ignored, fire 3 and blizzard 3 make this very simple

the only thing that feels like bullshit as blm is the aoe rotation, but even then you can optimize it, a9s is a prime example

i understand people's gripes with it, but unplayable is a massive exaggeration

that ley lines is more than likely spell focus, it's just a cooldown that boosts the damage of the next spell

if all the abilities that are always cross classed are being moved into a role pool to choose from (like b4b for physical dps or swiftcast for magic classes) then wouldn't Paladin have to get like 4 more actual class skills to make up for Convalescence/Provoke/Flash/Awareness all being moved to the tank pool?
>>
>>376623504
i kinda doubt this as you're still going to be using those skills and hotbar space is starting to become an issue, especially since they want to keep this game playable on a controller
>>
>>376623504
Nah son, the abilities that are going to be cross roled are all PLD and they aren't going to add anything since PLD already has those abilities in the package. We might get meme-shit like swift/surecast but nothing of note.

WAR stands to gain rampart, and that alone is hugely worrying for SB. Knowing the devs they'll get a slap on the wrist and continue to dominate all content for yet another expansion.
>>
>>376623668
They aimed to keep amount of skills you use at lv 70 the same as 60.

They've stated this a long time ago.
>>
>>376623673
Looking at what we know so far, WAR has gained a good defensive CD and a gap closer. What the fuck else could they even give WAR at this point? They literally have everything.

Also that new ability they showed a screenshot of that is supposedly a damage buff. So nothing really. They quite seriously have the perfect toolkit outside of debuffs, but that's no consequence to them, every other job bends to their will already.

You can't seriously think WAR would get Rampart. At most it would get the 10% version which is slightly worse than Foresight on physical damage while PLD/DRK keep their 20% traits, and Foresight gets removed.

Tank stance isn't effective immediately after pressing the button, locked into stances for at least 10s, biggest DPS gap from being forced to swap from DPS stance to tank stance often (every IB is a lost FC and Defiance has the biggest penalty), invincibility cooldown requires a target.

I've got a question

FFXIV is my first MMO, I've basically hit the end of the MSQ and casual content and whatnot.
I've been avoiding HW EX and savage stuff since I was really late to the party there, but I'm prepared to pub my way through the SB stuff while it's fresh.

My question is, how does savage compare to coils? Specifically, the hardest bit of content I've done is DFing my way through Twintania, is that the level of difficulty I should assume of savage content?
>>
Holy fuck ARR's quest is fucking annoying

Is HW any better? I'm about 15 quests away.
I hope they fucking streamline the quests now.
>>

Relics on 1.X, just like dozen of other abandoned ideas that are still accessible even today (like shields for CNJ and THM).

It's funny when people who watch videos from e-celebs about 1.0 talk like they were actually there. There was no such fucking buff. They talked about implementing something like that for ARR but it never happened.

when are those stance 'disadvantages' ever applicable when WAR basically lives in Deliverance in 8 mans.
>>
>>376624968
Twintania with echo is absolutely laughable compared to Savage. Especially Gordias/Midas Savage of Heavensward.

You're expected to perform as proficiently as possible in those, and have a thorough understanding of all of the mechanics so you know how to work your cooldown rotations about them.
>>
Do we have any linkshells?

>>
>>376624968
Twintania is, what, recommended item level 77?

And you get synced to ilvl 130

And you get Echo

so it doesn't really compare at all
>>
>>376624968
Unsynced coil is faceroll. You'd have to be retarded to fuck that up. Min iL coil and min iL savage second coil still poses a challenge to most player groups, but having the echo buff and just doing it with normal iL130 sync offsets a lot of difficulty.

Min iL coil stuff without echo felt about the same as savage Alexander for me, with the caveat that it took some practice to go back to ARR action sets and whatnot. In terms of player responsibility, there was no big difference.

Only instant kill is Twisters, and you can still bumble through that phase with multiple deaths as long as a healer + tank + one-other-person is alive to deal with dreadknights. You should only ever see one twister with i130+ dps anyways.
>>
>>376625718
Yes, it's also because the NA servers are literal toasters.

We just know they're getting a GCD cast time ability of some sort and 'Horizontal Slash' which looks like Links Spin Slash which is presumably an AoE ability of some sort.

>>
>>376625569
DRK does the same DPS as WAR with 100% DPS stance uptime. If they both have to switch into tank stance several times, WAR loses a lot more especially if they use IB.
Yes, 10 seconds is a lot.

WAR players are typical insecure. The type of people who view PLD being shafted the entire HW xpac as revenge for the 2 months WAR sucked back in 2.0

In HW leveling quests are more "linear" (less "going back to base", more "going straight to objective", with short stops to solve local problems, like a typical JRPG) and post-3.0 quests are shorter. You will visit Fortemps Manor a few times, though.

>>376625718

There is absolutely more than one way to do any given fight/mechanic. A12S alone has so many different ways to approach any one mechanic, its stupid. Ultimately, one strategy HAS to be better/more optimal than another, though. Its impossible for two or more strategies to ever be truly and equally on top. That just absurd.

Also, Xeno hardly ever knows the best way to do any of these fights. He isn't a world first top end raider, he plays the easiest job in the game ffs. People just ride his dick because he's the only person making half decent guides of function able, although non-ideal, strategies.

Xenosys is the closest we got to the JP mindset of "Everyone follow the same strat so we can get this shit done".

>>
>>376609407
fine, but you lose manawall, manaward, apocatastasis, aetherial manipulation, scathe, swiftcast, lethargy, virus, eye for an eye and so on.
Max DPS class that cannot be competed with is totally fine balance for this game, but only if it has no utility whatsoever, and cannot do anything to save itself (e.g. mnks losing greased lightning as the fight demands, as the current best dps).
Also, your dps will be middle tier, and only "best and uncontestable" with both machinist and bard in your party.

>>376626105
>Yes, but also server issues. Apparently "bases" like Waking Sands and the Fortemps Manor have multiple separated instances since this way is less demanding for the servers.
Wrong. 99% of what goes on in those instances is completely client-side. Only thing the server does is verify/hand-off quest status. Client does the rest from there.

Only reason Waking Sands and Rising Stone had load-screen doors into the office is so the client can update/reset the instanced state of the NPCs in the other room.

It's a three pronged attack.

First you have the WoWfugees who hate Lalas because Gnome players in WoW tended to be fucking elitist faggots 9/10 times that would never shut the up about how wrong everybody else was, and those same players that come here tend to pick Lalafel.

Another reason is because Lalafel in the MSQ are almost always fucking assholes that ruin everything with the potato jew greed.

The other is an irrational hatred for brought upon by the vibe they get from the other two groups.
If you get a vibe of "Everyone hates this thing", you too will look for a reason to hate said thing because mob mentality.

thanks, I'm guessing I should probably stay outta the hardcore stuff for SB. I could definitely feel the ilvl advantage with how lenient the stacking and adds stuff was, but divebombs, neurolinks and twisters pretty much singlehandedly stopped every run until I got a clear after a couple days (that run was buttery smooth because I don't know).

If minimum ilvl T5 is comparable to savages, then I think I understand what I'd be in for, and doing that with randoms probably isn't a good idea, seems like the same kind of gamble on whether they'll ignore mechanics, except double the amount of stuff you can't faceroll.

Look up any dummy-ish fight and WAR is barely ahead of DRK in most cases. You people talk as if WAR is 20% over DRK/PLD when its like 5/10% respectively. That's with them performing as the OT in 99% of circumstances.

Being trans is literally a mental illness in every way. Google gender dysphoria you ignorant cuck.

Being gay is the same thing, and overwhelmingly results from single mother homes and/or sexual abuse at a young age.

It literally is a mental illness. Are you fucking kidding me or are you being obstinete for the sake of stirring shit up?

>>376631215
Then explain how other than because you blindly follow what someone else told you
>>
>>376630991
because if everyone was gay then humanity would die out, faggot. hence it being an illness and not natural at all

>>376631305
What are your thoughts on the fact that a vast majority of gay men were victims of sexual abuse as children?

>not wanting to be able to customize shit

Some things I'd change if I could, off the top of my head.
>ABC grounds markers to be less blinding
>Buff/Debuffs split into two bars
>Party-list buff/debuffs on the left-side of the list, not right
>Square minimap
>Unspoiled node timer overlay
>Change AoE marker colours

>>376630260
>Get to level 60 on all gatherers, AST and SCH/SMN
>Every other skill is 30+
>First month sub ran out today
Yeah, won't be resubbing. The horrible leveling design and class design kills the game for me. I was so disappointed with how SMN turned out. It's a DoT/AoE class with a pet tacked on. I would unironically support renaming it to invoker and having you work towards summoning a pet that actually had a huge impact on a fight. Like being able to summon Odin for single target damage or Garuda for AoE. Instead this goes to NIN. On top of that my dreams to become Ravana 2.0 like shiva did will never come true.

You need to back up your claim that gays aren't a mental illness first then. Also not the anon you're talking to. Gays are, by default, anomalies and defects of nature that serve no purpose other than to use resources. They're still no trannies though because even that shit isn't found in nature the same way gays are.

>>376631628
I got a party like this before with a SMN who literally just spammed ruin 3
It was awful

That's not how proof works faggot, you have absolutely no way of proving gayness is a mental illness
>>

There is a parasite that turns penises in fucked up vaginas, and it fucks up the victim brain to act like a girl so he can get fucked and infect other guys.
Forgot the stupid name, unfortunately.

I got all combat classes to 30 during free trial and all crafting/gathering to 20+ during the same time. That took me about 2 weeks. I'd show you my stats but my sub just ran out today. Got WAR to 52 before I just let my sub expire. I lived in PotD and did gathering via leves.

Humans are a species that can only reproduce through male-female fluid exchange. How is wanting to fuck something that can't reproduce not mental and hormonal imbalance?

I got into a Vault run once with a SMN who, I shit you not, literally ONLY casted Tri-Bind for the entire dungeon. Turns out he hadn't gotten any of his HW skills, but holy shit.

It does, it's a parasite that attack certain types of crabs, like these brain-eating fungus that attack ants.
Page 10 so no reason for me to find it now, I guess. See you in the next thread.

You're both morons who, while holding opinions that are technically similarily valid, have absolutely garbage reasoning and it hurts to read the shit you're churning out.

Cool video games.
