This fucking bloat I hate it, WoW had that issue too. I don't want to look at 60 fucking buttons of which a lot do the same thing just slightly different.

Do any MMOs not do this whole bloated UI and hotkeys thing? I don't even have enough shortcuts to use all of these even with using shift, alt and ctrl as modifiers.. and we all know that shift + 9 is not exactly comfy to press to begin with

>>383805965

You are the kind of person who caused the devs to ruin half the jobs in the game for Stormblood in the name of "raising the skill floor" and "cutting down button bloat", which translate to casualizing the fuck out of everything. Get out of my game.

No comms, they wiped until the timer ran out but the final DF run was a 20% wipe, so I convinced them to join a cross-world PF to help them clear. They nailed it first pull of the new instance.
>>
They should make it so certain combo actions only show up depending on what skills you did beforehand
>>
>>383806490
What is there to teach? Menagerie has no mechanics that aren't used repeatedly in earlier encounters throughout the story, except for maybe tidal wave, which happens once right at the very start and takes only one try to see what it does to "learn" it.

Rest is just understanding what the meteor marker means, dodging telegraphed aoes, killing adds, and stacking on the stack marker. People overstate Shinryu's difficulty so much. He is fucking easy, the difference is that unlike most story content, he'll kill you for repeatedly fucking up his simple mechanics. When combined with the fact that 95% of the playerbase is stupider than a catatonic gibbon, you get frequent situations where EVERYONE fucks up the simple mechanics and causes continuous wipes.

each skill has its use, there are like maybe 6 skills in this game that are pretty useless.
Bind them, get an mmo mouse, actually learn how to be a good player instead of looking to be carried. Also try pvp, you have like 3-5 buttons.

What exactly is wrong about this video? There's tons of shit going on and it looks frantic and skillful. Is it too much for you to understand? Just like having a lot of buttons confuses your tiny brain?

No job has more than 32 actions, most have less. You might also include Sprint, LB, and a potion, so 35 . Anything else is superfluous. You can probably leave at least a few of those unbound and just click them because of how infrequently they are used.

Then again I play on gamepad which is easy.

Honestly WoW rotations/priority systems are a lot more confusing than the XIV way of doing things. Yeah it's a lot of buttons but pressing a bunch of buttons in order isn't too hard to get the hang of with a bit of practice.

On the other hand WoWs system maybe requires a bit less dexterity but it's harder to wrap your head around with all the buff management and resource systems. It also feels a lot more punishing if you fuck up.

On top of all that you also have the fact that your priorities change when you get new legendaries, trinkets, tier sets and that some classes play drastically different depending on situation and talent choice. WoW is clearly the more complicated game.

Finding someone at the same item level as you sure, it's easy. But finding someone who has the same competency level, shares the same open schedule as you, and isn't a toxic faggot is a whole other story and all those things affect raid progression more than the actual boss mechanics. Any fucker can watch a video and grind their gear and say they know their stuff, but it takes a special kind of person to actually do the stuff and clear on time.
>>
You can even macro skills together OP. It's not hard. I have all my shared defiance and deliverance CD's on the same buttons and the button does whichever skill is attached to whatever stance i have on.
>>
>>383807750
I never said any MMO has ever been skillbased. I mostly just came here to tell OP to drop the genre if he doesn't like automated gameplay and a trillion icons cluttering his screen. The fanbase won't allow this genre to evolve past its archaic origins for years to come.

Are you kidding me? FFXIV of all MMO's is the most reasonable given its long GCD, Is it really that complicated to weave instants inbetween GCD's?

Even dragoons fuck-retarded rotation isnt that hard

>Start with Damage Buff
>Bleed Combo
>Weave DPS Buff + BotD
>Damage Combo
>Weave Jumps + Mirage Dive + Geirskogul/Nastrond
>Damage Combo
>Keep up BotD with Fang/Wheeling.

>RINSE AND REPEAT

Its literally just 2 combos while weaving everything else . How much simpler can it get.
>>
I can't wait for them to add the PvP hotbar option to PvE, There is no reason to have 5 or 6 different buttons for a couple different combos when i can hit the same button a few times and achieve the same thing. I've got arthritis in my hands so having to move my fingers over the entire keyboard gets painful after awhile.

Fates randomly get exp bonuses now which gives +100% exp. There's also a chance for a special add to show up during a Fate, if you kill it you get +15% exp for that Fate, and a buff that gives you +50% exp on your next Fate.

So if you have armory bonus, the add buff, and do an exp bonus fate you get triple the normal exp. Which is still only like 3% of a level.

Only having 8 buttons that you couldn't change on the fly added strategic depth to skill selection. It meant the developers knew they couldn't copy & paste the same skill several times, each becoming incrementally stronger because only the strongest would be used.

It might be overlooked, but this one act was responsible for how well the skills in the game were designed. It forced the developers to be creative.

maybe you dont like mmos.
mmorpgs click really well with some people, the idea of gradually getting better and upgrading is really appealing.
I know grind isnt the most enjoyable thing but eventually you get to raid with some cool people and over come more challenges.

you're going to be my diary for a bit so bear with me.
I was jumping fcs all the time looking for the right raid environment, thats all I wanted. eventually I decided to take a shot with these 4 randos who werent even a static. We picked up people along the way and eventually had a full static. I gotta say, my best video game experiences have been raiding with these people. Getting in a group and progressing while handing out pointers,laughing at mistakes and general wtf moments, fuck its nice. I remember when we cleared a12s without echo, we got a whole bunch of messages from other statics congratulating us. I know it seems kinda gay and you could argue a12s isnt that hard but we got the challenge out of it and had a blast doing it.

anyways if that doesnt sound fun to you, then try another genre.
>>
>>383810886
On different buttons?
>>
>>383810693

Sure, but it wasn't as prevalent as in other games and even then skills that looked the same still felt different.

A good example is DotA. Everyone in it gets 4 abilities, and though some get very similar abilities, they have a lot of small differences that make the end result very different.
A good example is Lion and Lina. Both have a point and click ability that does high damage. But they both have different casting times, after use delays, ranges, cooldowns and mana costs. These are all small things that most MMO developers just do not account for these days, but can make a skill feel totally different.

Almost no skills in FF14 were obsoleted by other skills before Stormblood, 90% of each job's abilities were still relevant at endgame.

Stormblood changed it so some skills do the same things as other skills and those skills replace eachother as you level up. Still, the same point remains - almost everything on your hotbar in FF14 is useful. Which means the skill ceiling is a shitton higher than in a game with 8 buttons.

GW2 was fun, but only up until I hit max level. Then there is pretty much nothing to do.

Last time I played it, admittedly a long time ago I had a fair few abilities but none were worth using.

I forget the names but I was a black mage(I think) and I'd use lightning, fire, fire, fire, switch, ice until my mana regenerated, switch and then fire, fire, fire again. If I got a proc of lightning or it ran out I'd reuse it.

I had lots of other abilities but most were not worth using or too situational to bother with.

That looks extremely fluid and fun.

If you found tanking boring it's because you were probably just sitting in tank stance. The fun part about being a tank is learning the fights and figuring what do to and when. Nothing feels better than throwing out perfect mitigation, barely being in tank stance and out damaging the dps.

>>383812927
I agree with him, WoW currently needs you to become overly addictive to be viable, where in 14 you can do your daily expert, farm some exPrimals and have 80-90% the stats of a hardcore raider.
>>
>>383812927
What he's saying doesn't match his product at all what the fuck.
>>
>>383805965
Reminds me when in Burning Crusade the hunter could maximize his dps with one button press running a macro
>>
>>383813057
he flat out says that you should stop treating FFXIV like a poopsock MMO like FFXI and start treating it like a JRPG with multiplayer co-op. once you run out of content in a JRPG, you quit or do NG+ (start a new job)
>>
>>383813162
But that sounds awful.
I should go play a real MMO, not this.
>>
>>383809654
I got burned out on Fate parties, even before I played XIV, because of Guild Wars 2.
>>
>>383812927
There is kind of a good point here. I never got super unto WoW but some of my friends did and their raiding schedules were like a second job. I understand that this is a small portion of players but MMOs definitely need to take into account that the majority of players don't have the time to play for 8 hours every day.

There has to be some kind of balance between the players who play all day and the ones who can only put in one or two hours a day.
>>
>>383813226
so what you want is a MMO like WoW where you must play nonstop to stay viable. even quitting for a month means you're severely behind on AP, legendaries, and loot.
>>
>>383813258
Too bad FFXIV has nothing to offer to people who want to put in a bit of extra time
You do your one weekly thing and that's it. Rest of the time you can ERP if you want, nothing else to do.
>>
>>383813336
What I want is an MMO where I can progress in some way, achieve something or do ANYTHING that is some use to me after doing the daily/weekly.

If I want to log in for 2 or 3 hours and solo some elite mobs to maybe get cool drops or money, I should be able to do that.
>>
>>383813343
you could level multiple jobs, you could pvp, you could earn gil and sell it for real cash like rich crafters do.
>>
>>383813110
how does it not? You can quit for months and get right back to endgame-level gear in a couple weeks no problem.
>>
>RDM is so fucking overpowered in solo content that you can farm the 2.0 EX Primals for Ponies/Glamor

Well, not Ultima Weapon. For some reason that fight is seemingly too much even though you can solo Shiva EX, Odin and Ramuh EX. You get 5 stacks way too quickly.

Even at 70, no job has enough abilities/role actions to fill up 3 goddamn cunting hotbars. Including buttons for LB and other shit.

Are you just slapping Potions and item loot onto your hotbars so you can shitpost?

Hawk's Eye, Flaming Arrow, Blunt Arrow, Wide Volley gone, you gain Pitch Perfect and the lv60-70 skills, so it's -3 (since nobody uses Wide Volley anyway) +4 = +1

So Bard actually has more button in quantity alone, and even more when you consider how frequently you have to press them since songs are now part of your rotation and Raging Strikes has a much shorter cd than before. I've never been this tunnel visioned on my hotbar as Bard until 4.0

None of the tanks have anything but 3 simple rotations of going 1-2-3 or 1-2'-3' or 1-2-3'' or some variation thereof.

It's seriously not when the game has a "legacy movement" option that completely eliminates the need to strafe at all.

That's why Monster Hunter is the best game.

It has more fun gameplay against "bosses" if you will, the monsters, while using practically no buttons yet still giving you quite a variety of moves.

As a Controller player I'll tell you why it fucks up with Gaols.

If you simply hit X it'll automatically target whatever is near the center of the camera, doesn't even matter what is closest to you or not, it's pretty fucking stupid.

The easiest way to target yourself is to hit Down on the D-Pad, but you can't target yourself in the Gaol, so hitting Down will target someone else, I think this is what gets people and causes delays, people try to mark themselves and not the Gaol.

A KB+M person can simply click on themselves or the Gaol at the bottom of the enmity list, but a controller person can't even hit X, they need to hit Left/Right on the D-Pad or L1/R1 while holding L2/R2 to switch targets until they find the correct Gaol. And by then it's probably too late unless someone else marked it.

>>383817325
Even with Legacy movement on, you still needed to strafe if you played a melee job to keep up auto-attacks on a boss while shifting your position. That didn't change until 3.4

Works for me. If Life surge is ready, it will use it followed by Full Thrust; and followed by Full Thrust as soon as it's possible if I'm spamming.
And if Lie Surge is not ready, if will just use Full Thrust. One button instead of two.

The main story stops having bullshit like that a couple patches into the level 50 quests, around the time you beat Ramuh.

After that it's interesting pretty much the entire time.

Also for the love of sanity spice up your main story grind with some of the great side content, of which a lot is available as soon as the credits roll for the first time(out of five) at level 50. Especially the raids and the Hildibrand storyline are musts.

Monster Hunter works well as a instanced based game with 4 people, but it completely falls apart as soon as you introduce it as a 100+ player MMO.

Since you aren't doing anything in the gaol, you can just manipulate the camera until the rest of them fuck off from view and the targeting only picks up the correct one, or just reach over to your mouse and click on it. I'm usually fast at this because somebody else always mark the gaol a split second before I do it and the mark ends up getting removed

The thing is, MMOs would be much better if it took a few hints from DnD. Simplifying mechanics but allowing for more uses is a very good approach. Honestly MMOs are garbage, except as waifu generators, and would benefit from going into a party based avatar approach.

FFXIV has its share of issues. But its far fucking better than World of Diablocraft atm. Although there hasn't been a 'good' MMO for a long while. Though if you have a group of 4 friends you'll have a blast levelling in FFXIV with all the dungeons/trials and story.

You can un-sub for a month or two.

The actual problem of "NO CONTENT" comes from people staying subbed and logging in every day due to the social aspect of an MMO. People want to hang out with their in-game friends even if that means standing around complaining about no content.

No wonder there are so many shitters getting hit by AoEs in this game when probably half of them are like you and don't even know how to use the BASIC CONTROLS.

It's more just poopsockers who want to use a game as a surrogate for their own miserable lives. MMOs provide that in theory because they are never-ending, but these people are now tripped up by gating mechanics designed to let non-poopsockers enjoy themselves.

Also people who think that if a game requires an ongoing payment then it should be playable 24/7 with zero dips in content because otherwise you're wasting money.

PLD can solo loads of level 50 stuff at this point as well healers probably can too as long as there's no hard enrage. Ramuh EX I got annoyed with the timing between Chaos and Shock Strike but it's probably doable if RDM can.

Everyone who isn't new to the game knows this already, but macros don't allow skill queuing, which means you lose some dps EVERY TIME you use a GCD skill since you'll never use it exactly on the frame it's available.
