Well, what do you "desire" in MMOs? Maybe you can figure out what you really want to play if you look for something more specific than a MMO. For example, If you are looking for dungeon crawling and gear farming, maybe a Diablo clone (clickfest or not) will be a better choice.

Theory is that they were a failed chimeric experiment ala the Ixal which are confirmed to be Allagan made

They came across the frozen seas in the 5th Era, then Shatotto invented black magic and they were heavily involved in the War of the Magi. Mhachi survivors founded Belah'dia in the 6th Era, and Nymian survivors went back to the South Seas Isles until they heard that a bunch of sailors were living where Nym used to be and came back.

I'd rather have a textured fairy that, when you zoom is, you can see its features and what not. Titan is pretty much a golden piece of shit nugget, Ifrit looks nothing like ifrit and looks like shit, Garuda is okay but the they all suffer from pretty lower quality models honestly. SCH is both the superior pet class and has better models.
>>
>>376669263
It is, it was confirmed by the latest live letter. It was also shown in action in the benchmark, along with BTN/MIN underwater gathering. I wonder if any new spearfishing achievements will auto-unlock for having the gigging ones from 1.0.

My sub ran out today and not sure if I even want to bother resubbing. Pic related is what I finished on my 1st month sub. I'm pretty sad the way Arcanist turned out since I was expecting an actual pet class with SMN and not a DoT/AoE class with an added half-assed pet. MNK seems cool but I heard it's a pain to do well. AST was fun and seem to be my go-to healer. I don't like tanking but I would like to have one of each class. Is it even worth resubbing? No idea what I would even do besides doing potd to level up.
>>
>>376670313
Limsa is the only city that has knowingly prompted the summoning of a primal through a broken treaty so they can steal resources, and has continued to do so for 15 god damn years now. All Merlwyb has to fucking do is stop killing Kobolds to take their shit and suddenly there'd be one less primal being summoned.
>>
>>376670407
>leveling up with PotD
don't do this to yourself, don't force yourself to resub either
as long as you've finished the HW MSQ, you'll be fine for 4.0

>>376670469
What the FUCK is up with the names of some of the NPC's in Limsa? It looks like some of them just slammed their keyboard to name them. I think one of them by the aftcastle is called asdlsky or something.
>>
>>376670313
Not nearly to the same degree as it does Limsa. Ixal are assholes to everyone, Amal'jaa are violent tempered savages (though the Ul'Dahns deserve to ve ahit on for their own internal politics, not
their beast tribe policies. Titan would literally never be a threat if Limsa didn't actively provoke the summoning by being a bunch of backstabbing fuckwads.
>>
>>376670469

Beastmen aren't people and might makes right. The only thing Merlwyb did wrong was not killing all of the kobolds.

I didn't finish the MSQ. The plan was to get WAR, AST, and MNK to 60 but I got distracted with gathering and only got AST to 60. I'm a few quests after you do the GGL.

>>376670619
They're old high Germanic names. They're not actually that hard to decipher if you stare at them for a minute. Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn = Mer(ocean as in mermaid) Wyb (wife), Bloe (blue) Fhis (fish) wyn (daughter). Wife of the Sea, Daughter of Blue Fish

>>376670629
It is when it results in the summoning of a demigod that can potentially wipe out everyone on the island.

Ahldskyf if i remember the spelling correctly and it means old (ahld) boat (skiff is a type of boat). They're names are in old roegadyn language that's based on german or something like that. And it's also only the sea wolves that get names like that. Hellsguard are basically adjective noun. Best part about that is that a name like Hard Wood would technically be lore friendly for them.

I enjoy MNK but it really is bullshit that your damage output is nerfed when soloing content or when mechanics/tanks just fuck you over. IIRC there's a boss somewhere that doesn't have a back/flank.

What's the implication of skills being move to cross-role skills pool in 4.0?

Does that mean the original class that have the skills will get something to compensate?

Like for example, B4B and IR is probably being move to the skill pool, does that mean LNC and PGL will each get 1 new skill to compensate for it?

Duskwights on Balmung are some of the most insufferable RPers around. They use them as a black people stand-in to whine about how oppression, and throw a god damn fit if you don't give a fuck IC or OOC.

>>376674447
if they just have a plain circle indicator under it, it's omnidirectional. if they have the 3/4 circle with an arrow in front, you have to actually hit the positionals

kraken has an arrow on it unless i'm severely misremembering things

>>376674660
as i said, arr is weird in places. i'm pretty sure cloud of darkness was the first boss to use the new system but there might have been a few others i'm not remembering
>>
>>376674447
Well, the kraken in Sastasha hard does actually have rear and flank positionals. But most of the time in newer content enemies with the full circle around them have no positionals. Like the first boss in Dun Scaith for example.

Depends on how you play.
If you're the kind of guy who optimizes, learns his shit and otherwise tries his best, then you'll do fine in PvP. It's all a matter of learning that it's not PvE.

If you're the kind of faggot that goes "my sub, my playstyle" and sits around not performing/ignoring basic job functions then PvP will suck.

pvpaissa.com and the Team Tryhard discord have lots of information and resources for PvP if you're interested.

I wish they would hurry up and put out a video or a stream detailing the combat changes. I refuse to preorder until they actually give me some information. WoW expansions were in beta by now and before the expansion came out they'd update the game with all the new engine changes and talent trees and stuff.
We're a month out from launch and the only thing we've seen are the zones and some screenshots of the new abilities. The benchmark gives a bit a of a look at some of the abilities but only briefly and they aren't really focused on.

Live Letter fucking WHEN. I've been out of things to do in the game for months, and we still don't know shit about the expansion. There's genuinely nothing more I can do to "prepare" for Stormblood and now I only log once a week for khloe books.

>All jobs at 60, including crafters/gatherers

>All non-glamour MGP items collected
>300 Rating Race Chocobo with 500 wins
>Rank 20 Companion Chocobo

Really all I have left is sightseeing, fishing log, and random achievements. I'm not faulting the game for running out of shit for me to do, I've put an absurd amount of time into it. It's just crazy that we're basically a month away from the expansion and we still know dick all about any real changes. I'm not especially looking forward to repeating the same old content cycle so I at least want to know if the gameplay is going to be any better.

But then you've got players who know everything about what that skill does and how it should be used playing alongside players who are playing with the mindset that they'll "discover" it on their own. No one wants that situation. The players who know how their job should be played are frustrated that they aren't pulling the numbers they should be pulling, and the clueless players are frustrated people are frustrated with them.

If everything is obtuse and everyone is clueless about how to play their class everyone is happy.

It's why people nostalgia over old MMOs so hard - everyone playing those games back then were just as clueless as everyone else.

MCH is mostly cooldown management to minimize reliance on RNG. It's pretty annoying and I wish they fixed it because no class should be reliant on RNG due to their class mechanic. One of my beefs with AST. You have a 50% chance to get either the AoE or Balance on your first draw to a 60% on your second. If you get the AoE first you then have a 16.6% chance of getting a balance on your first draw to a 20% on your second. Under the assumption you redrew both times and you got your balance on the 2nd draw you would have an 8% chance of getting an AoE balance combo off in 2 draws.

I haven't fucked with probability and fractions in a while and even though it's easy in this content I feel like I messed up. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

This game could have had this if they didn't insist on totally destroying anything like that that was in 1.0

for example NMs, people whined about how they were in XI but in 1.23 they were on 5 minute respawn timers so yeah you might have to fight for a pull but it was a fun bit of competition that wasn't a big deal because you'd get another chance

Also they totally homogenized crafted gear and the material system. That was a huge part of the game for me, trying to craft and meld gear with ridiculous stats. It was a high risk/effort-high reward thing. There's nothing like that in this game now

Make healing matter and not have everything be about maximizing DPS on every single fucking class. Like holy shit it's so obnoxious. Stance dancing is not fun. If they want healers to dps then how about giving an option to do damage and heal at the same time? Disc priests had this in wow where Holy Smite would heal the lowest health ally for a percentage of the damage done.

I want them to completely redo PLD and give it a fucking holy vibe to it. Is it too much to ask for? DRK is all about harnessing the darkness, WAR is about murdering zoo animals and becoming a rage demon. The fuck is PLD even doing? They're just a fucking knight larping as a PLD and whose fucking idea was it to give them no damage in a damage where even the fucking healers are expected to dps.

>>376679547
Crystal sands is one of the easiest steps though. Especially now that they've nerfed it.

>>376679713
That's because the job is literally called "Knight" in japanese (ナイト - naito). They changed it to Paladin in localization because lol who knows??? I mean it's not like the Knight job has existed in the series since fucking FF1 or anything.
>>
>>376679713
they'll probably leave paladin as it is because its just a knight in JP and hopefully release an actual holy class down the like such as templar or cleric.

>>376679843

Because it was Paladin in FFXI. The problem is that in FFXI, they were actually knights serving a not!Catholic church.

Probably because Knight sounds too generic to a western audience who's used to DnD Paladins. It was a dumb decision though because like you said, Knight has been a thing since FF1 and I'd say 90% of the people playing XIV don't even know what DnD is, let alone played a MMO before.

And just imagine, not only will there be standard NPCs selling NQ weapons made from common materials for a handful of gil that outclass that soul-infused-never-seen-in-the-world-before relic, when the new relic quest becomes available you'll be allowed to trade in your current one to receive five of the ten Bear Ass +3s you'd have to farm from SB FATEs to complete the initial step of the new weapon.

Its really sad that raid tiers get outdated so quickly in XIV. I understand Coil being pointless once HW drops, but Gordias should not have been pointless once Midas dropped, and the same goes for Creator. I imagine that even in EQ you were still finding a use for Kunark content while everyone was off grinding their VT key when Luclin dropped.

true enough for that era. as the game got long in the tooth, the tiers accelerated immensely. to the point where group gear in the 20th expansion would be on par with raid gear from the 19th. the glory days of Secrets of Faydwer were great tho. 4 diverse tiers of content that were smartly balanced and many guilds did simultaneously.

If ya preorder the expac you'll get a nice set of earrings that increase your EXP while leveling. I dunno if you get them then and there but I'd say wait and then level start at early access.

Heads up at level 15 you can earn a ring by doing the dungeon tutorials that increases EXP gained till level 30 as well.

That's what I read as well. I'm going with the assumption that when I buy the expansion when it's out, they'll give me a free boost for one character.

It's not that it's hard, I just thought it was pretty boring. Maybe it'd be more fun with a friend, but that's the impression I got when leveling a demo character.

There is no way you'd get that within a month before SB. Hell, my original plan was to level all my classes to 50 and get DRG,MCH,WHM and BLM to 60. Get there Anima weapons including Paladin.

So now I've just decided to level all classes to 46 before stormblood and more than halfway done with that. I'm sitting on materials for 4 more anima weapons and know I wont finish that before SB. You should've just concentrated on 1 class to 60 and then just level up your alts to a good level 30 or 40 would've been fine.

Of course there is, but it's not like its super amazing and different from the leveling experience. It's mostly the same shit except with more standing around waiting for resets instead of progressing.

The only real difference is savage raiding, which is a tiny fraction of the game, literally just 4 bosses. If that's the kind of thing you're expecting to get for ignoring skipping the rest of the game, you're not going to have much fun.

The wind up succubus is literally an animate, sentient sex doll.
The can't really call it "Baby Succubus" because the implications

And a lot of other minions are just wind-up versions of individuals that either already exist in FFXIV or are full blown adults in other games.

Have "Baby Minfillia" or "Baby Kain" following you around would make zero sense.

I get that, and I realize it's an autistic complaint that even I don't care about that much, but I think it's the case of beastmen that make me think they shouldn't be called wind-up, rather just a young gnath/amaljaa/sylph/whatever

the story is actually not that bad, but it's difficult to get really engaged when an important cut-scenes involves the same three gestures and my character nodding in approval. maybe cut like 30% of shit that doesn't need to be a cut-scene and improve the other 70%. how expensive is motion capture?

>Not sure why people are always so desperate to get to endgame when most of it consists of standing around, being logged off, and wishing there was new things to do.

Because even that is honestly better than running around watching shitty movies about literal who characters and doing go to A click on B kill 10 C quests with little to break hours of this monotony.

Also because leveling campaign is basically entirely done solo (and all duties are just matchmade so it's not really a community thing) and you basically don't need ANYONE's help at all until you're at the cap which means that the main reason to play a multiplayer game doesn't present itself until you're at the cap. That's a reason enough to wanna be at the cap.

Leveling is boring shit in modern WoW where they copied it from and it's shit here where they added the tedium of "story" quests.

HW is a massive improvement over ARR in terms of story pacing and shit.

The problem I had with ARR was the filler past 50 where you had to yet again kill Ifrit, Titan and Garuda for like the 3rd time. Then finally it picks up in "Before the fall". Everything else from 1-50 was fine along with the new primals as well.

There's no "community" at endgame either except for savage raids, since everything is matchmade there too and even savage raids can be pugged now. 4 bosses every 6 months that you can only get loot from once a week, this is what people cream themselves over. It's like buying a whole box of donuts just for the sprinkles and then complaining your sprinkles have donuts under them.

it was a mix of a lot of a lot of good ideas that were either never fully realized or just poorly implemented. some people nostalgia over it because it had a pretty unique combat system, but overall it was really clunky. for example "off tanking" consisted of someone grabbing aggro then running around like a moron so the mob was out of attack range and couldn't deal damage

they are going to play it safe until the end of time. Remember that 1.0 nearly brought the entire company to its end, not just the final fantasy franchise but square itself.

People make statics to raid don't know what you mean by no "community". You usually get 2 new dungeons 1 24 man raid opened up and of course your Primals between 2 or so months. Sure, Savage is the endgame but even then it's usually not so easy and it does take time to get geared up with that. Everything is match made if you make it match made. I usually raid with my static but nothing wrong with using PF.

That's because they took on a full primal. If it was something smaller and weaker like those knights it would be a-okay. Still being able to channel the essence of primals besides "lmao AoE nuke" would be cool. Would be amazing to mantle Ravana and grow extra arms with swords. SE, get on it.

But Anon, you're stuffed full of aether by Hydelin and Midgardsormr, and most of the population of Eorzea effectively prays to you for their salvation. You're already a primal.

No idea. I use 4chanx

I started playing about a month ago as an archer and noticed the very long queue times usually upwards of 10 minutes+ for any content but then I decided to try out marauder and all the dungeons are an instant pop. What gives? My understanding is that all the content requires double the dps of the other roles. Does that not balance out correctly? Are there more people playing dps than anything else?

>that none of the shitty Scions can comprehend or discern a motive from
You say that like it's an accomplishment.

I'm pretty sure a stiff breeze befuddles most of that retarded lot.

>>376691450
Nobody wants to play tank because x,y,z reason. Which is funny because most people who play DPS still can't into good dps either.
>>
>>376691509

And a good chunk of people who do try tank will stick with it *just* for the queue times.
>>
>>376691459
Unless there's a lore reason why WoL can't be a primal then it's a possibility but knowing SE they won't go down this path. What kind of primal would the WoL even be? A primal that goes out to kill every other primal that also does fetch quests during the down time?
>>376691509
I hate tanking because of the targetting system and how many buttons I have to press. Never played a game that has made me use both the shift+ctrl modifiers while also using R,T,F, and V. I even have to use my mouse buttons too. This is worse by the fact that macros are pretty much shit. Best I did was combine Eye for an eye and Virus together to save myself a slot.

>>376691509
If you're going to be shit no matter which role you play then you may as well choose the one with the lowest odds of you getting yelled at.

Oh god. The good old days of BC WoW where I was a keyboard turner. Please don't make me relive those memories.

I think the big one is that Primals suck Aether from the land, and/or the Scions aether-finding things would be going fucking berserk. But the former could be handwaved away, and the Scions have shown they're willing to hide information from us based on nothing more than plot convenience, so who knows.

The writing in this game is at a level where nobody is entirely sure. Is the writing bad enough that they'll happily go down this retarded route? Or is it better than most give it credit for, and they won't?

Relics will become absurdly easy to get on Stormblood, though, if they do what they did with Zodiacs on HW, since Anima doesn't have FUCK YOU steps like Zodiac books and their FATES.
The hardest parts would be sands if you have no crafters/gatherers and don't make sands available for poetics or centurio and the light grind, and you will probably be able to stomp Ravana normal at level 70.
>>
>>376691893
We're already THE CHOSEN ONE so it wouldn't surprise me. At least they went with that from the get-go. In Runescape you were a regular mischievous and sometimes stupid adventurer and now you're pretty much a god killer and defender of the world.
>>
>>376691893
Isn't Alexander the only one that explicitly sucks tons of Aether? The others are just given shape based on the aether in the vicinity, which is why having dense aether crystals, or the worship of creatures that can donate their own aether = stronger Primals?

If the WoL is a primal, though, they must look like a glowing mass of aether to Ysh'tola ever since she gained her aether-vision, which I guess is mostly what your point was.

I want the relic to grow throughout the expansion. You start with a base weapon and each time you get an augment item you immediately can apply it and raise a stat by 1 or item level by 1 or something like this and savage raids should drop additional tokens for that so that relics can be potentially relevant for progression content.

Obviously this process would be capped so you don't outpace the content.

Right now it's basically every once in a while you get something to grind but you only get rewarded when you're completely done. Books were good in that regard in that you would get a +1, however insignificant, as you worked through it.

Alexander is the worst for it (not that you'd know; "He sucked all the aether from the hinterlands!!!"- meanwhile absolutely nothing changes in the overworld) but they all suck aether like your mother sucks cheap gin.
>>
>>376692752
I want the relic to be the same as it was in 2.0
Couple sidequests (crates in beastman camps), couple fights (hydra and chimera) that exist specifically for it, Titan HM when it was relevant, boom congrats on your relic
Fuck

>>376692912
That'd be great but they're pretty committed to keeping it a participation award for disabled people.

I think I got my BIS, right? What Materia do I slot in it?
>>
>>376693110

>Lore gears

What did he mean by this?

>>376692867
>I have a 60 SCH

fug lad. Not my fault the alternatives are shit. Are you going to tell me to kill myself for maining MNK too?
>>
>>376693163
My buddies told me it's BIS because the other options have abysmal itemization and that DRK is the only job like that.
>>
The difference between a good player and a bad player.
>>
>>376693208
if you were bis your average item level would be at least 269
>>
>>376693208
Then your buddy was full of shit. Sorry about that.

This is BiS http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/10G8X (no weapon)

No

>>376693275
The good players got padded with Balance?
>>
>>376693302
I mean the weapon, you ignorant ape.

>>376693380
No he's not. He's literally the most knowledgeable player I've ever seen. He has all classes at 270 and has had Savage on farm since around the time it launched.

He said the RNG weapon (whatever it's called) is just that, RNG, and the Anima weapon isn't worth the farm this late into the expac with Stormblood about a month away.

I guarantee he know's more than you. I'm just wondering about what materia to slot.
>>
>>376693531
Oh look, a retard.

>>376693531
Go ask your gay buddy then.

Fuck, I meant to screecap just the weapon tool-top. Obviously the rest of my gear is shit.
>>
>>376693531
Wow your buddy sounds so dreamy do you suck his dick?
>>
>>376693531
>i meant the weapon
>nothing in the picture indicates you were asking about the weapon over any other piece of you gear

'my friend said it's not worth it' well if it's not the absolute best option it's not best in slot is it you fucking retard
>>
>>376693531
>I guarantee he know's more than you.
>HEY GUYS WHAT DO????
You're a fucking idiot.
>>
>>376693531
Man, people in this game have the weirdest definition of BiS. It means "best in slot" and that can only be one item.
There's no "BiS without savage" and there's no "BiS, except this and this". It's either BiS or not.

Shire weapon is not BiS.
BiS is Coven with good stats.
Then Anima
Then Shire
Then Alexandrian

However it is true that Shire is the most practical choice for you at this point. Slot that shit with DET Vs.
>>
>>376693531
by that logic BiS isn't worth it either with SB this close
>>
>>376693641
DRK Shire sword is BiS aside from anima yeah. Though the difference with Alex isn't that big.

Good players know what uptime is
