XIV

When the launch-final tooltips come out, which classes are going to find out they got something awesome they didn't know was coming, and which classes are going to be devastated that they got "nerfed" compared to the media event tooltips?

I should be excited for the new jobs, new skills, story, areas... But I just can't.

I know they wont fix a shit about the game problems. I know it will be HW 3.0 all over again, also known as 2 endgame dungeons, 2 shitty trials, 4 stupid raid bosses (easy as hell too like Creator) and nothing else but leveling all classes to 70 and jewing on the market board.

Give me some reason to be excited. Do it, please.

All the time.

I started playing about a week ago, I just reached level 38 and learned "Ruin II" and after a little reading I learned that it doesn't replace Ruin but instead functions as an alternative for certain situations.

Both spells do the exact same damage but Ruin II also inflicts blind and is instant cast but it costs double the MP and it can't be used in low level synced dungeons. So basically you need both on your bars just in case certain situations popped up.

Also I heard that the new expansion is trying to fix some of this, I don't know specifically what's changing but basically my thoughts now is just to not bother playing the game and learning anything about my class for the next 5 days since it's going to become irrelevant soon anyway.

I guess I'll just go hang out in the saucer for a while and play other games. Not that I'm not enjoying the game or anything just that I want a clear head for the new stuff. Basically this game is pretty great from what I've seen so far.

How to fix WHM: literally Just give it WHM skills, it already has enough healing spells

>Shell: partywide cd that reflects a small % of the damage you take from enemies back at them for 20~ seconds
>Reraise: very long cd that gives target one auto-life stack, automatically brings target to back 50% health when hp reaches 0, bypasses weakness
>Replenish: Partywide cd doubles the effect of food for 1 minute
>Haste: single target cd that doubles percentage based procs for 20s

Couldn't disagree more.
The only part of the game that's fun and relevant is the race to server first.
Maybe you're just a shit tier player with shit tier understanding of the game calling everyone else stupid because you're literally a retard.
Maybe.

So, HW got us 4 (counting NIN kinda as HW job) new jobs and a new race.

SB pruned skills, got only 2 jobs, no new race and seems to be same otherwise.

I thought the game was doing well. How come they have comperatively less stuff this time around?

>>379837936
Things will be a bit confusing at first for everyone, no need to worry too much about it now.

>>379837936
Ruin is better than Ruin 2 if you don't have to move; same potency, cheaper on MP.
Ruin 2 avoids the DPS loss from movement, but costs more MP instead.

Stormblood will barely change anything summoner has from 1 to 60, it will only add more. So, don't avoid it for a week, go level that shit.

That is pretty much why I prefered the way XI handeled their balancing by simply ignoring the NA crowd. Nothing but WoW 2.0 can come out of this if they keep listening to those people.

>>379838718

It's not. Instead of a new race, they decided to rehaul existing jobs. To get rid of bloat and filler.

WHM has the worst MP management when DPSing. That's why WHM can't be the main DPS healer.
It wouldn't last longer than a single phase.

>>379838893
The trick isn't to ignore them, but to do the exact opposite of what the NA community at-large wants.

But it's getting better in Stormblood with Thin Air ad 60s Assize, and they're still the highest personal DPS healer and also now by far the best AoE DPS healer. The idea that WHM is intended for those who only want to heal is stupid.

>>379839520
Rehaul was the wrong word, they condensed and pruned skills. Classes still play mostly the same, they just lost some fluff and gain a few things in SB, often things that just amplify or augment the job's unique feature that already exists.

Unless you're Bard or Machinist, then you get overhauled pretty hard every expansion apparently.

Oh sure, sure, but it cannot compete with extended shroud with possible ewers, nor with aetherflow and shroud and energy drains.
WHM should absolutely not be "only a healer" of course, but in raid it couldn't do the job of the second healer because it literally wouldn't be able to last long enough when DPSing.

Not really. If you gave it a 30 second cooldown that'd be about 1000 DPS. Compared to the 4000 DPS the actual DPS classes will probably be doing at level cap that's not that much. Give it a 90 second cooldown if you're really worried about balance.

>>379839796
Yeah I'm not really confident they know what the fuck they're doing with Bard/Machinist. Bard's changes look extremely welcome just by nature of fuck Wanderer's Minuet, but Machinist was already in a great place, it didn't seem necessary to totally overhaul them just to maintain the parity of 'well if one ranged doesn't have to cast than the other can't either'

But who knows if that was the thought, that's just my guess considering that's seemingly how WM came about to begin with.

>>379840074
I mean, Monk essentially didn't change at all. They still do the exact same shit in the same order at the same times, just minus ToD and Fracture. Black Mage still revolves around Enochian, Dragoon around Blood of the Dragon, most job's core rotation did not change. And that is by and large a good thing (Monk could've used a bit of a change or at least something new).

They could have Bard level re-done every godamn job.

i said huge tankbuster, not your average "one cooldown and you're good" ones. >>379840102 already listed off some far more potent ones that could fuck up bosses a bit
there's also the fact that a smaller cooldown for something like that could negate the need for tank cooldowns entirely for the most part unless a boss fires them off one after the other after the other, and if that ends up being the case tanks will always cheese it with invuln cooldowns

>>379840417

Silk road style world-based trading integrated with FCs or market board or some shit
Major rework of gathering so it's actually viable income
Major rework of food, potions, crafting, etc. so that it is essentially mandatory to participate in or at least purchase rather than the faceroll useless distraction it currently is
Major rework of gil so that it is far more useful and required, such that economic power translates into better ability to complete battle content and obtain rarer glamours, etc.
Severely cripple the duty finder so that most higher level duties require active communication and cooperation to form a group for
Revamp dungeons and combat so that consumables, food and armour are now required, and exploration, choice and randomness are now present in dungeon design
Revamp battles so that classes have actual utility and interaction beyond "put out a slightly larger or smaller number on the enemy's head"
Actually give company airships a function
Uncap tomestones because fuck off
Introduce permanent equipment damage and durability, requiring high level crafting to avoid/mitigate

MNK got fucked over. They are the only job with ZERO new attacks, not even upgrades of existing attacks. Even the healers all got new attacks. I would have even settled for making Tornado Kick not garbage.

Riddle of Fire replaces Blood for Blood. Riddle of Earth replaces Tornado Kick in most circumstances. One-Ilm Punch is still shit. Arm of the Destroyer is still shit. All their other abilities are identical just with less potency. The only real change they got was free random chakras and a raid damage cooldown in Brotherhood.

MCH main here, I fucking welcome this change. Casting is the devil's work, and I'd gladly go through learning my class all over again if it meant I would never have to hardcast a split shot again for the rest of my life. Just because it wasn't as severe as BRD doesn't mean it wasn't fucking cancer.

>>379840672
Yeah, pretty sure it's a DPS loss as long as the turret could have kept attacking, wildfire or not. Overload is really just "if the boss is going to go away for 20-30 seconds, press for a final burst of damage".

>>379840664
>>379840674

>>379840731
dont you need all other crafters in order to have the autismal rotation to get anything out of crafting?

>>379840621
Yep, it ain't a nerf, but it sure as shit feels like one. Touch of Death and Fracture were simple, nice additions. Removing fracture actually makes the class worse, as you can't as efficiently control your form to prepare for an invuln period.

Riddle of Fire is better than Blood for Blood, but removing the character speed of the class temporarily for bigger hits feels stupid, since that's never what the class has been about.

Brotherhood and the Chakra trait do technically improve the class and give it raid-wide utility (at a rate much worse than Trick Attack), but it still isn't a replacement for actual *new* attacks.

I'll stick with monk because it'll forever be my main, but this does not feel like my expansion, even if the class balance is fine and monks are desirable in raids, we just did not get any fun new stuff like literally every other class.

There are just 2 new classes/jobs? And both of them dps?

And that is a pretty disappointing skill to be honest. MCH lost almost all of its ogcd, literally isn't much of a support anymore and gets probably the worst punishment for fucking up in the game. Overheating your barrel might aswell slap you with rezz sickness. So naturally all new skills revolve around the new mechanic being less of a hassle... making me wonder why introduce it in the first place instead of going with their first MCH plan of having them modulate their weapon during combat and having several ammo types to choose from.

This sort of shit makes me wish there was an "Indictment" option next to the commendation window at the end of a duty that puts a glowing "I'm a shitter" mark over someone's head for 5 minutes in their server and blares a Vuvuzela sound constantly.

>>379841263
right, so like I said, fuck crafting

>>379841263
hopefully they rework the crafting crossclasses in the same way they did the battle classes, because that shit is seriously nonsense and two of the most vital crossclasses are locked behind (at the time of implementation) max level classes

>>379841156
>Overheating your barrel might aswell slap you with rezz sickness
The tooltip was wrong, your damage is increased by 20% when you overheat, but when the overheat ends, you won't be able to use Gauss Barrel for a while.

>>379840563
It's fucking hilarious when people complain so much about XIV and then this is the kind of shit they think would be better. I'd like to see them actually try to make it someday just to see them flounder and die under their own retardation.

>>379841058
CUL is somewhat different as it requires mostly things gathered from BTN with very few things gathered from MIN or FSH.

Leveling all the DoL stuff to 70 from 60 will be interesting.

To answer your question though, yes.

>>379840621
>MNK got fucked over. They are the only job with ZERO new attacks, not even upgrades of existing attacks. Even the healers all got new attacks. I would have even settled for making Tornado Kick not garbage.

But hey we got Tackle Mastery am I right? How about that gap closer that creates another fucking gap, or wind tackle whose effect expires almost immediately.

I don't get why faggots complain about DF. Spaming "need 3 for Grognard's Cave" in chat until you get a party isn't some enjoyable activity that magically makes the community better.

>>379841156
you get a damage bonus for overheating, the tooltip was wrong
it's sort of a wonky dps cooldown so you can turbocharge your gun under wildfire and keep it cooler inbetween
plus iirc the heat reducing skill can be used whenever you want so it shouldn't be that crazy to manage

Who is ready to grind for tomestones to get (not170) gear and then HUNT for 2 weeks to get (not180) upgraded gear along with fighting the 2 primals?

>>379841416
Even if you unfuck the cross classes it's still absolutely shit to try to craft anything without getting jewed on the MB for the materials you couldn't make.

>>379841664
>>379841420
Ohh I see. I thought you needed to keep your heat between 50 and 100 to get any damage bonus and basically lost your barrel if you went over 100.

>>379841729
Nah, I will gear in 70lvl 2 dungeons and just farm primals ex

Why can't I decommendation players?

>>379838307
I never use Ruin 1 anyway. The MP cost is negligible, especially when you GitGud and throw out as many 1000MP Ruin 3's as you can.

All this will change Friday anyway. Ruin 2 will have 100 potency giving it a clear lead over Ruin 1, and Ruin 3 will be nerfed to 150 potency so it'll not be worth using outside of DWT anymore.

>>379841156
MCH still have shitloads of oGCDs. They are still basically oGCDs: the class. They even still revolve around fitting them all into miniscule burst windows. The only things they lost are brainless buffs like Raging Strikes, and the tiny damage on utility skills like Head Graze and Blank. They still have:
Wildfire (now on a 60s CD)
Reload
Quick Reload
Reassemble
Ricochet
Rapid Fire
Gauss Round
Hypercharge
As part of their damage rotation, which is still fucking lots.

>>379838249
This is why I try to be max level at weekend already since shitters tend to level slower so you dont get them in parties if you are in pace with fastest levelers in server.

>>379841871
>wearing (not160) gear

You will want that (not180) before omega normal mode 2 weeks later and then savage comes out another 2 weeks after

>>379841661
DF prevents creation of challenging content. In a matchmaker you don't know who you get so they have to make content for the lowest common denominator to ensure consistent success rates. DF puts zero responsibility and by proxy zero enjoyment. And obviously that makes devs obligated to funnel people to the matchmaker so we get wage tome payouts instead of any kind of interesting rewards for doing content.

There's downsides and upsides for both approaches and basically there should be both trivial content (for shit like leveling or tome farm) and content you can't queue for without a full premade (like actual hard mode dungeons and raids).

Putting EVERYTHING into LFD ensures that your players will never have a reason or motivation to get better and tackle interesting challenges you may wanna give them.

>>379841343
>get kicked for sabotage

>>379841656
I would be okay with our attacks changing in the different Fists stances, if there was EVER good reason to be outside Fists of Fire except "the boss is untargetable".

>>379841934
I don't know what DWT even is yet also I think I should probably mention that I am not playing a summoner I'm playing a scholar.

>>379842013
WoW had a group finder in Cataclysm and Cataclysm Heroics were hard as balls until they got nerfed to the ground

>>379841969
You'll get royally fucked when leveling other jobs though.

>>379842105
That's exactly why they got fucking nerfed. I think WoW right now has a good balance between LFD and stuff you have to party find for.

>>379841729

would you prefer running Castrum Meridianum over 50 times to get gear?

>>379842013
>DF prevents creation of challenging content
Funny, because 24 people raids are harder and more punishing than anything in the 11/eq and other games without DF
>>379842105
They weren't even nerfed much, people just overgeared it
Even in the dragon soul tier tanks got killed on the first boss in the grim batol
And let's ot start with zg and za which were harder than any heroic in wo history and people still run them with randoms

>>379842013
>DF prevents creation of challenging content

Nigger that makes no sense. Content difficulty should come from mechanics, not "we failed because we didn't recruit x class with y spec and z consumables for boss #2"

>>379842013
DF some synced ex primals or coil/savage and see how well it goes. XIV does have stuff you basically need to party find for, but retains the LFG tool for them anyway.

>>379842026
R'ashaht Rhiki from Maelstrom

>>379842278
>Funny, because 24 people raids are harder and more punishing than anything in the 11/eq and other games without DF

>>379841458
These kind of suggestions always reminds me of Wildstar. There is a huge difference between what the minority think they want and what everyone involved (even the minority) actually want, especially in MMOs. People often forget that their very specific "dream MMO" won't work without a community full of people with the exactly same specific dream.

>>379841393
Shaming should absolutely be a thing. Especially in a raid.

It should trigger if you earn Brink of Death.

>>379842221
All I ask is not to have gear where you obtain gear and have to upgrade that same gear.

Give me new gear instead. Gear from tomestone which then needs hunts or Gear from weekly tomestone that then needs savage items is stupid.

Developers covering behind "but game was for the hardcore raiders, focusing on them was a mistake, no one wants to spend week to unlock raid!!!" just pissed me off

Can we appreciate how well optimized FFXIV's game client is? After playing so many F2P MMOs and even WoW, it's fucking amazing how well FFXIV runs. For comparison Tera and Wildstar look worse visually but for some reason I get half the framerate than I would get in FFXIV.

The thing is that people ask for this kind of thing, then they realize they never wanted this thing at all after doing it for a week. Making a MMO isn't just coming up with ideas and filling the project with them (that only works for Kickstarter scams), finding a way to keep people interested in your game for a very long time isn't that simple.

>>379842026
You should cover up hullbreaker too. Rhiki is the only female enemy there.

>>379842026
Remove the HUD when you take a ss, baka.

>>379842995
Only the AF3, Leveling Dungeon Gear, The gear from endgame dungeon, and tomestone are new, all crafted gear will be dyeable versions of SB dungeon gear.

>>379843224
What? The first "boss" encounter is literally only females and some coeurls.

>>379842861
XIV's optimization is surprising pretty good, especially compared to many other MMOs out there. It's one of the things I really like about this game.

>>379843198
I forgot to add, but no dungeon in wildstar made my ass bleed as stone vigil and av before their nerfs
And let's not forget how "fun" garuda fight was before people started overgearing her
So yes, there no way hardcore content would turn people off from the game

When is FFXIV going to die out and we stop having these threads on /v/

Why do people here enjoy the themepark MMO skinnerbox scam

>>379842468
This.
Studies have shown that when used as a teaching tool negative reinforcement isn't nearly as effective as positive reinforcement; but shame on the other hand, shame is incredibly effective. So effective I got a 3-day suspension for /laugh'ing at people in Idyllshire riding on cash shop mounts.

Another idea: If you fail a SSS dummy it should say your name using Microsoft Sam and then play sad-trombone.ogg in /yell radius.

Challenge 15 of chocobo racing is literally fucking cancer. Who the fuck designed this shit? I've already dumped like 100-200 hours into this goddamn mini-game getting up to pedigree 9 with a 285 rating and then I just get this fucking RNG machine of a challenge at the end of the tunnel. This is seriously ridiculous; almost everything is fine-tuned to prevent you from getting lucky/fuck you over entirely, and Max Power is almost untouchable due to his frenzy immunity and the fact that he's always five miles ahead of the rest of the pack.

I just want to be done with this fucking mini-game.

Hoping for an expansion with no voidsent or allagan ass pulls.

>>379842861
I'm also surprised how great the controller scheme is.
I played Tera before XIV and it was a nightmare with the controller.

>>379843545

50-60 in the potd is nightmare, never do it even as a dps

>>379843637
I just beat it. Literally just beat it right after making a post bitching about it.

Also I'm pretty sure a huge reason why I was having such a hard time was a mixture of bad stat investment/not having max top speed, and there's also the fact that I didn't have a grade 3 hereditary item on my chocobo because of inbreeding and not having the foresight to use grade 3 or 2 feed on my P8 chocobos.

Fuck it. Whatever. I'm just glad I'm free from this hell.

at least potd is slightly (slightly) different each run

>>379843649
And give you the option to unmatch you from them in the DF

Hardest part of this game is finding 7 other people to do content with.

Is Final Fantasy XIV the origin world of Omega then since it travels dimensions and is said to be the same Omega each game I can hardly see why it wouldn't be apart from butthurt XIV only fags crying over it.

>>379844005

Most people won't even touch Super Savage, what the fuck are you talking about? It's something for hardcores to do as a pure challenge. That is NOT why we're losing one dungeon on odd patches, since Super Savage is gonna be a recycled fight.

Because they put the budget into content and QoL improvements instead of blowing it all on mocap and then making the menus server-side.

>>379845461
that's a good point.

but you'd think by now they had the budget to start pumping some quality back into cutscenes

>>379845338
Because XIV is on a shoe string budget to milk as much money out of its subscribers before subscriber count hits 0.

So every cut scene uses stock animations/emotes which makes the whole thing look like actual shit.

DWT is a summoner thing. If you're playing scholar, you get an ability called broil at 52 that is basically a ruin I but with a higher mp cost and higher potency. When you can afford to use the extra mp, it basically replaces ruin.

>>379845338
1.x had better cutscenes because they literally blew more than half of their budget on motion capture and adding unnecessary detail that slows up your computer. They had no more money left to make an actual functioning game or servers hosted outside of Japan.

because i didnt play 1.0 more than 2 weeks it was so awful. this is the only cutscene i remember and it's the first one i get when you google ff14 1.0 cutscene

>>379845556
XIV has always been on a shoestring budget, and it has only been getting tighter as the game goes on.

In ARR, each patch had:
>4 raid bosses
>3 dungeons
>1 extreme trial
>1 side/story trial
>A full set of Hildibrand and Postmoogle sidequests
>A major new feature such as entire the gold saucer, player housing, or a whole new job

HW introduced 3 jobs and each patch had:
>4 raid bosses
>2 dungeons
>1 extreme trial (no side trials)
>A small handful of Hilidbrand/scholasticate quests
>A minor piece of additional side content that is usually dead on arrival, grindy as fuck, or both e.g. Verminion, Diadem, PotD, Zhloe

SB is going down to 2 jobs, and will only have 2 dungeons in even patches, with 1 dungeon in odd patches. The game's updates just get smaller and smaller.

Most of its profit is cannibalized by Square and siphoned into their huge moneysink projects like XV, KH3, and VIIremake.

It's okay. He does good work now that he's just a lackey for Yoshida.

>>379845774
Yes it was a thing.
You should have also seen how gearswap macros worked. It took 10 or longer seconds to swap jobs because the server had to check and confirm each individual macro line and then equip each piece of gear one by one instead of all together.

>>379845432
Its not 64bit only, that's just recommended since it will reduce pop-in, though the next expansion certainly will be.

You're misunderstanding, players shouldn't be the one to shame others. People will just switch off their brains and numb themselves to the criticism by writing it off as some random Duty Finder faggot's opinion. Thanks to the Dunning Kruger effect and the lack of empirical proof they're doing poorly, thanks to lolnoparsing.
THE GAME is the one that needs to shame people. If you're playing the game, and it punishes you for failure in a public way, the shame will make you realise "Hey, maybe the problem is with me and -I'm- the one who needs to get better".

eg. If a child cries in America the parents indulge it because they have no shame, and until it stops crying the noise continues to piss off bystanders.
If a child cries in Asian cultures though the parents (mother usually) will pick up that creature and literally sprint to get it out the way. Because they actually feel shame for causing a disturbance.
We need to adopt the latter attitude; if you're making people's lives harder you should be made to feel bad about it.

or he hasn't found a suitable replacement for director and producer of FFXIV. It's his obligation to stay until they find a successor. Seeing as the world sees him as the face of FFXIV, it's a tough thing to break. It's like Mario and Miyamoto. The dude is clearly past his prime but he can't quit because the world still sees him as the Mario guy.

SE takes it to a new level. Anything outside the core square enix studios (FF7, XV, KH3) is fucked over and bled dry to feed their main games.

Yoshi's decisions are a whole lot smarter than the shit I see suggested here.

>>379846753
Higher ups of SE literally asked who plays MMO's to their staff and yoshi said he did play DAoC and they just used him as a figurehead so if the game fucked up he would be used as cannon fodder and be removed easily without losing an important person to the company. Yoshida then said "why don't we just take X and Y from Z mmo and put it in ours?!"

Been out of touch with the game for some time now, what would be the best way to grind the new classes from 50-60?

He's talked up new games and new game ideas in other interviews over the past year or two. He's even talked about how if he did move on, he'd have to find someone to replace him in XIV, but that no one else had the passion for XIV that he did, so he probably couldn't leave. I remember he said something along the lines of, "if the fans request me to make a new game, maybe SE will let me".

I'm guessing that SE can't really take that chance given that no one could likely replace Yoshida and that there are bigger issues the company still has to wrestle with like trying to finish Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

I don't mind this much though since Yoshida seems to be pretty successful with XIV and I imagine SE will continue to let him do what he likes with it given his track record. Still, I imagine he'd get put on a new project eventually and get moved off of XIV soonish. It's probably just a matter of resources at SE Japan, since they're busy with those other two big games. Oh yea, FF7R recently got moved to internal SE development. Probably another factor.

If KH3 doesn't do well, I'd say KH is dead to SE. I don't see how that franchise continues unless KH3 is a hit. By the time it releases, it'll have been 6 years since the last real KH game and over a decade since the last numbered KH game. Maybe the mobile game would continue, but I get the feeling KH is on the chopping block if it 3 isn't a stellar performer.
