>high end raids from the two biggest MMOs out there
>literal clusterfucks with no skill involved whatsoever
How is this genre considered anything but the worst of the worst of any MP experience? The only reason people play these type of games is to jerk off each other while pretending to be girls online. It's no wonder Blizzard is letting WoW slowly die while it moves to Overwatch and SE dumping all its resources into mobile gaming. MMOs were a mistake.

>MMOs were a mistake.
MMOs were a happy accident for the few who made their millions before facebook came and face raped the internet social market.
Now people don't need to kill 5 bears for bear asses just to chat with others and the genre is slowly bleeding out because the new generation has other internet cancers to waste their lives on so the existing MMOs have to dumb shit down and give free items just to stay afloat with an ageing generation who were unlucky enough to get hooked on this specific type of e-cocaine.

The Free2Play bubble didn't help either.
>>
>>382782678
you have an extremely twisted definition of sandbox games if you don't think Runescape is a sandbox game. Just because you can't build a fucking obnoxious castle out in the wildlands that everyone has to see or kill some dude you meet on the road doesn't mean the games not a sandbox you fucking idiot. Go play BDO.
>>
>>382775914

I agree OP.

I really don't think there's room for another MMO with bar abilities, zergfest raids, etc. How many times do you want to do the same thing with a different skin on it?

I'm totally burned out, perhaps because I'm an old man by /v/ standards (29), but I'm looking for something that gets away from the regular MMO combat if I'm going to pay for it.

That's fine mate. You don't have to actually like good sandbox games. But don't say stupid shit like "Runescape is a good sandbox game". I think it is a fine PvE focused MMO, has an ok PVP system, but you should give autism spaceships a try to see how free a game can be, HnH is very good even after the graphics update if you take out the bots.

From a purely individual point of view, high-end raiding isn't the toughest thing in the world if you do your research and can execute, but difficulty comes from 20 people simultaneously performing at a near-perfect level while flawlessly performing fight mechanics and thinking/reacting on the fly.
As much as raiding (and video games in general) is NOT a sport, you can compare it to a team sport in these ways. Sure, you might be able to stand alone on your local basketball court and sink 3-point shots all day long, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be that simple in a challenging game.

This autistic aversion to calling vidya sports is so retarded.

"Sporting" is a challenging activity that you do for fun. That's why football, hunting, canoeing, and chess are all considered sports. Sports can be cooperative or competitive, physical or mental, with any number of participants. The presence of a challenge with fun being the primary end goal is what defines a sport.

The only reason to exclude videogames from this category is that the term "sport" has some prestige around it, and there seems to be this desperate effort among some people to do anything that they can to make sure that games aren't treated as anything more than toys for ten year olds, because they're scared of being branded as losers or some stupid shit. It's the same mentality that leads people to attempt to dismiss the artistic elements of games. Look at your own wording.

>As much as raiding (and video games in general) is NOT a sport

AKA

>Look! I'm showing that I don't believe that there's anything of merit here! Please please please don't see me as a loser!

Fucking pathetic signalling going on there.

That's a really weak excuse. Almost ever sport has a strong element of luck. Overcoming poor luck is a skill.

I raided in WoW from the early days of Molten Core until we killed Arthas in Icecrown and I had a lot of fun with it throughout the years.

I don't feel like playing it again but I can confidently say I've not enjoyed a video game more.
The game itself was fun but the social aspect was important too.

Truthfully the simplified no-collision gameplay in WoW and FFXIV is only necessary for field zones, and zone combat is increasingly irrelevant in these games.

I played WoW for a solid 3 years or so when I was in my twenties. The last expansion I played was Lich King. I only ever maxed out on character, my main, an undead shadow priest.

I have to say, in retrospect, for the amount of money I paid. It was definitely not worth it. But I still had fun playing with my friends and doing PUGs and all that shit. At this point in my life even though I have more money I wouldn't pay for a sub MMO on principle. But the gameplay is really shit so it's not an issue for me; I just don't play them

If they make a really good MMO someday, I'll be torn. But sub games are seriously some bullshit. At $15/mo a year of a game is $180. Like holy shit. And it doesn't even matter if you're logged in either.

If anything, videogames are far less random than athletic sports. Randomization algorithms are one of the big challenges of computer science; as things stand, we can't get close to creating anything as random as an uncontrolled environment (such as barreling down a river).

Shinryu in FFXIV wrecks people left and right since it's a litmus test of all the major boss mechanics from the past four years of development. Even now it keeps people from beating the main story, since they suck and lack skill and basic abilities like spatial awareness.

Your body, the bodies of your opponents, the environment (i.e. the wind), and a near infinite number of other factors are the damn RNG, and are far more severe than anything that might be present in FFXIV. The laws of physics are the laws of physical sports.

>it's memorizing a fucking dance routine you goddamn neckbeard lmao

Memorizing how a mechanic works isn't the same as executing it every time. There is variance in both mechanics and how players deal with them.

E.g. Star augur Etraeus signature mechanic is marking progressively larger portions of your raid with pairs of marks that need to be moved on top of each other, touching any non matching mark is an instant wipe. The way you deal with the mechanic is the same (you move to a matching player if you get marked) but how you actually execute that, especially when it is overlapping with other mechanics, depends on the player's situational awareness.

If this were the case, no professional athlete would ever get injured doing basic shit. Injuries are routine occurrences for athletes, even before you take into account things like the two players moving in an UNLUCKY manner.

Except the rng/luck is not in the rules itself. Sure, a disgrace can happen (eg lightning bolt on a soccer match) or an injured athlete. But no sport is rigged by a rng simulator from a machine giving random amounts of points to the teams.

While luck/disgraces can happen, they are not part of the sport itself. They just happen and you cant do nothing about it. Meanwhile RNG IS PART OF CERTAIN VIDEOGAMES.

Games with rng damage numbers cannot be sport.

>>382783292
There's a difference between "hard" and "tedious".

PvP is Hard. Because players are smart. Players learn. Players adapt and come up with new techniques. Players have theory of mind, so they know that you know things.

PvE, in any game, cannot be hard for this reason. Raids in WoW, FFXIV, WS, etc, ALL just boil down to trial and error. Like Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, etc. You walk in, get killed, learn from it, and try again. Over and over until you learn the choreography of the fight. Then you move on to the next fight.

Forever. That is tedious. Even the dumbest retard can eventually learn to dodge when they see this tell or that particle effect.

Guitar hero is also about coordination and the memorization is HARD. Remembering thousands of button presses in sequence is HARD. Remembering to dodge when the boss yells their warning line, or to not stand in the red danger ring signifying damage on the ground, is not the same thing and you know it.

In Guitar Hero, you have to remember a lot, sure, but you also have to train up your hand-eye coordination and your reading speed to be able to keep up with the notes flying by and translate that into hand movements.

WASD + Mouse and just running around mashing your usual 12345 combo is not the same level of skill.

https://youtu.be/Gy8UZR72o9c

That guy, in a tournament, monitored two enemy players at the same time, predicting their reactions and positioning himself and using his abilities to the fullest to get a 1v2 kill when virtually everyone else would've died.

Last time I tried WoW, at Legion launch, pvp was slow and boring, and there were so few dynamic abilities left in the game that it was just people spamming their PvE rotations on eachother.

Nonetheless, WoW PvPers are, and will always be, smarter than WoW PvErs. Just because people are harder opponents than AI.

Neo Exdeath is pretty much confirmed for Savage-exclusive phase of V4 already thanks to datamining.

Eliminating both Exdeath and Shinryu, who were canidates for V8 and V11, this early in the game makes for MORE speculation fodder though, not less, because they were both pretty much a given to show up and now the table has been shaken up.

Here's some options we're looking at now:

>The next tier is based on a different game than FFV

>One of the next tiers has boss fights against heroes(FFV party?) rather than villains, as per Omega's ponderings

>The boss of the next tier is Necrophobe, with Gilgamesh making an appearance as in the FFV battle, possibly being a boss himself earlier in the tier

I loved Age of Reckoning to bits and even played the private server where it was fun up to the level cap, but at max level its flaws become apparent. Constant progression means a huge powergap between casuals and no-lifers.

Not him but are you serious right now? MMOs require you to memorize a rotation which you will use in all fights so eventually you can shut your brain off and still be max efficient in a raid, there really is no skill.

Remember Ilberd's "Shinryu" is only called that because it resembles the real legend, it's more likely Midgardsormr's connection is because he is either sibling or subordinate to the actual Shinryu. (Bahamut, Tiamat, Hraesvelgr, etc. are the holy dragons of Hydaelyn but Midgardsormr is up at the level of the actual gods)

It would make sense for Shinryu Extreme to not be a Minstrel's Ballad but a real fight that's part of the raid, especially because Shinryu's role in Dissidia is very similar to the idea of the Omega raid in FFXIV.

You're making shit up, I don't know why some autists keep attributing way too many power levels to Shinryu like he's the ultimate FF dragon or something. Probably Dissidia babbies since he was a god in that game.

Shinryu comes from a Doman legend in FF14 lore, he's not even one of Midgardsormr's children, much less his equal or superior.

We can't seriously discuss it in /vg/ because of c@posters and other attention whores, and the /v/ threads are usually one of the few things on this fucking board that's actually on-topic and discussed relatively civilly, second only to HGame threads, and it's the one thing that gets deleted faster than comicLOL threads or other unrelated shit.

I'll never understand people who just hop on the 'xD the attunement' hate for ws
The only part that was even a little bit grindy was the rep requirement, the rest of it was just doing shit you would have to do to be a useful member in a raid anyway.

Above all anyone who complains about the attunement you know they either
a) didn't play the game and just jump on that bandwagon to attack it
b) were shit at the game and couldn't clear the dungeons and wouldn't have lasted without a brainless lfr-like mode in raiding anyway

ws has had the best 5man pve content ever, even better than wow's, it was just too hard for the average player and there was nothing for them to do

Or you could, you know. Go back to your general. There's 171 unique posters here and 57 unique posters in the xivg. Why are you all such bitches? Go take it back. You guys keep bitching that you have nowhere to discuss the game but you're doing this to yourselves. It would be so much easier if you just went back to your general and discussed the game.

Midgardsormr's children only really account for the dragons in Eorzea and Meracydia though, where did the eastern legend even come from? Midgardsormr himself is described in such a way that he could potentially be extradimensional, since he just sort of popped up one day with 7 eggs. This is the reoccurring Omega from the Interdimensional Rift, why the fuck wouldn't the reoccurring Shinryu from the Interdimensional Rift be a thing?

>he was a god in that game.
His name is literally GOD DRAGON dude.

I guess maybe Midgardsormr could be the real Shinryu that has different names in Doma and Eorzea but that would be...ehhhhh.

>Shinryu comes from ff14

He was in final fantasy five
>>
>>382822250

FF14's Omega and Shinryu are not the same ones from FF5.

Midgardsormr as well as Omega are from a different planet, not the Rift. They came to Hydaelyn via regular old space travel.

The shin in shinryu doesn't have the same meaning as the English word god, by the way. It's the same kanji as kami, as in spirit, a much lesser form of divinity than a god. Shinryu is always powerful, but he's never had any sort of divine power attributed to him in numbered FF games.

Your theory that the Doman "Shinryu" could just be Midgardsormr under a different name could have merit to it though. Middy outright spells out that he has history with Omega from before they came to Hydaelyn.

Prelude of Empty Skies is a great track, and Decisive Battle is amazing when done right. The FFXIV remix is underwhelming because it goes for the generic synthesized orchestra route, same problem as with the remix of VI's Fierce Battle for the Warring Triad.

Soken should have taken inspiration from the GBA version of the track and used his rock/synth skills for the remix:

Space travel seems relatively improbable when the entire thing is happening in the interdimensional rift

Mind you it's always going to be written ambiguously in such a way that everything can be completely independent from other FF games. About the most explicit they ever get about the idea of certain characters being the same between games is crossover events and sometimes Gilgamesh's particular weapons. XIV has the extra excuse that seemingly everything to ever exist in 2D Final Fantasy was part of Allagan culture somehow.

Have you chucklefucks ever considered MMOs aren't about pure skill?

Thats like saying strategy games are about graphics and cardgames are about cardboard.

MMOs were always about taking the social experience of tabletop RPGs and putting them online.

Its why the first MMO, ultima, was made by a massive D&D nerd, and why the predisessor to MMOs, MUDs, are just text based D&D adventures.

>>382828626
Legion Instanced PVP scales your stats based on your ilvl, you get 1% per 10 ilvls, so you can't min-max and the most you can have over another player is 15% over them, which requires 150 ilvls.

That being said, Legion PVP is also imba as fuck, world PVP is a clusterfuck with tanks 2 shotting DPS, healers unable to do jack, and DPS pretty much just dying to tanks, while instanced PVP pretty much has no point because without gear, there is no reason to fucking do it.

Because MMOs are about character building, and stripping that out of WOW and replacing it with a shitty COD style prestige grind was the dumbest fucking thing they could have done.

Was pure PVP stats a good thing? No, but this change was like going from one extreme to another.
>>
>>382829114
>the most you can have over another player is 15% over them, which requires 150 ilvls.
so it's not free of gear then. If you think 15% doesn't make a difference between players of equal skill you are retarded.
>>
>>382828258
You have to say all 10 of those sentences or nu-WOW fans will be triggered.

Otherwise you can say that every single boss fight in mythic+ WOW is "dont die to arbitrary mechanics, do more DPS faster then the enrage timer"

God forbid players actually have to interact with the gameplay in a more proactive, or statistical or strategic way, every boss now is designed to be done in a very specific way, because the guy who is designing them is a diehard hardcore raider and theory crafter they hired on to beta test the old fights, and thus can't think with open RPG gameplay in mind, and sticks to rigid, action-adventure style boss mechanics rather then RPG style mechanics.

This, WOW is a terrible example of an MMO even in the modern day.

The player driven economy is non-existent thanks to hyper inflation and the fact that crafting and non BOP items are inferior, if not outright pointless to BOP items that can easily be gained by solo grinding.

Guilds and community don't mean jack as 99% of the game revolves around solo grinding and cinematic questing, rather then adventuring, you'll never have to interact with another player in WOW and you can see all the content the game has to offer within a week, everything past that point is arbitrary korean style grinds for pointless gear that will be replaced in less then a year.

And any content they add in the game where you're supposed to leave a permenent mark in the world doesn't really happen, the only time in WOW's history where players actually affected what happened on their servers was in Vanilla, the AQ40 opening, and because low-pop servers couldn't open said raid (Let alone do them, thanks to low player population) they've not done them since, even though the AQ40 opening was poorly designed.

They're ven struggling to get people to interact with the broken isle mechanic of turning in legionfall tokens to open the various buildings, but because they don't realize broken island is boring as fuck and pointless, they will probably wont try to do community driven gameplay again for at least 2 or 3 more expansions (If WOW lasts that long)

Wildstar still missed the fucking point.

They focused entirely on end game raid progression.

The point of MMOs is to build the community driven gameplay from the get go, you should be casually grinding with friends and strangers who could become friends in an open gameplay system.

But instead they focused on having the arbitrary solo level grind thats boring as fuck, only to get to an end game with -this- abomination of an attunement tree just to get into its major selling point 'hardcore' raids.
>>
>>382829525
What the fuck kind of encounters are you even imagining should be in the game, exactly? You want "open" encounters where you can just do whatever and whittle their HP down like some kind of fucking JRPG boss, or what? The core principal behind high-end raiding is actually coordination, not simply avoiding "arbitrary" deaths or doing dps.

In my current Pathfinder campaign I punched an ethereal being so hard and so many times that he still died in a single round despite being second to the big bad. Is this the kind of shit you want? I'm legitimately confused.

>>382831225
Dungeon Finder really killed it for me. Don't get me wrong, I grew up playing vanilla and having to find groups the hard way. I understand how awesome and convenient the whole system is, but it really kills exploration and stuff when you can just pop the fucker on and keep hitting random dungeons to grind tokens or emblems or what the fuck ever.

Have you all read the lore and stuff about Ulduar? It's pretty fucking cool and there's a lot of stuff going on there, but dungeon finder groups don't care or take the time to learn any of it because the faster they clear the dungeon the faster they can requeue and get more emblems. I must have run the Halls of Stone and Halls of Lightening 20 times before I even found out I was in Ulduar.`

But WOTLK and Catacylsm poisoned the wells, bred a false idea of elitism amonst the most casual shitty players and now everyone is a fucking retard who dies to fire, complains about stupid shit ect, and the developers develop for the top 1% who are playing with cheats on anyway (Not just mods, but out of game macros, and if you think the top guilds aren't playing with out of game macros you're fucking stupid)

You clearly have an opinion but you're not expressing it correctly. You're not qualifying anything, you're just arguing from a point where you've already won. It's actually causing you to be flat-out wrong at points, and hindering your argument. WoW is not a sandbox game, and never will be. If you feel that sandbox games are better, that's cool, that's up to you, but not everyone is going to just automatically agree with you.

Legion is everything but designing for "less then 1% of the playerbase".

Warforging and Titanforging makes mythic gear worth less in terms of power. You're better off farming for a titanforge than clearing mythic.

The AP grind is forever and mythic is tuned around a specific rank.

The amount of extra content Legion included that becomes near-obligatory as a mythic raider is ridiculous.

And the raids aren't even designed at Mythic Difficulty, they're designed at Heroic and changed to fit the million other difficulties.

I like how the butthurt janny and his lapdog manage to find them anyway.
It's like they go into every thread with a FF reference in the OP post, check if there's a XIV discussion going on and nuke it if there is.

Is this the artist that drew alphinaud's sketch cause it looks familiar?

>>382833526
1% doesn't care about gear.

The rest of that shit is to keep the rest of the playerbase satiated and subbed, even if they're quitting by the thousands.

Most people on my bnet friends list that I have asked if they're still subbed said no, and they've pretty much come to the same idea, wait until the final patch then play for a month.

Why fucking sub, even if you're playing casually, when all the grinding you do will be reset in a few months anyway.

Only the 1% actually matter.

Happens every day past 8pm Yurop time too and ends later that night. Almost as if he's working a shitty job and comes home to delete some video game discussions for a couple of hours before going to bed.

I'm not sure if he drew Alphinaud's sketch (it's very possible now that you mention it).
His name is Yuusuke Mogi and he's the one responsible for most of FFXIV's character design and artwork.
He designed SAM, for instance (pic related is his).

while you are grammatically correct, there's a huge difference in semantics. I was simply mimicking his post without correcting his flawed grammar to drive the point home.

Is a i320 belt with okay stats better than an i310 belt with perfect stats?

This kind of shit always confuses the fuck out of me.

not if you need that ilvl to enter new content
i always go ilvl>usefulness to be able to join PF

>>382836954
I also want to know this. Is 15 points of primary stats better than fucking with the secondary stats?
>>
>>382837127
Until someone can do all the calculations for the new stat weights including the nerfed crit rate and buffed det it's all up in the air. You can't really go wrong with just going for the highest ilvl.
