Does this game have the most retarded playerbase of all MMORPGs?

What did you expect? The game attracts mostly fat virgins who wants to erp with catsluts dressed like hookers. The rest of the game is just there to get new kawaii gear.

If MMOs showed me one thing, its the fact that DSP really is the average modern gamer. Some bosses have pisseasy mechanics that couldnt be more straight forward, yet people STILL fuck them up.

>>385522131

Two years ago some guy ran some tests for story missions / raid / primal clears and about 95% of its player base didn't had clears to all of the above. This just goes to show that only brain dead casuals play this game. I came back recently and wasn't surprised to see how everything got severely toned down so that the average retard could clear it, raids included.

>>385528786
But its a god damn MSQ trial i mean, i tunnel vision in savage mode when i havent grasped the mechanics enough, in that case i sacrifice my rotation to stay alive and learn the fight properly

Sometimes in savage raids i go full retard though, thinking i know all the fight, go with a perfect rotation till i fuck up a mechanic, but after one wipe i'm ready to fix my mistake.

>>385529627
They didn't get toned down aside from a couple specific ones, it's easier because the gear level went up
Some of the content are literally impossible to clear because you will never assemble a party for them thanks to the """""""""""""""""raiding"""""""""""""""""""" playerbase being made up of complete pussies who wouldn't set foot in them again without unsync.

you think this but I still remember how retarded the average WOW player was. After a while you just realize that people are retarded/they don't care enough to learn anything about the game. The French are a combination of both.

>>385530273

Everything got toned down, Lakshmi, Susano, Raids, Dungeons everything is miles easier from how it was in ARR. I felt it and it was disgusting.

>it's easier because the gear level went up

What? No, you weren't supposed to clear raids with that iLvl WITH pugs. The mechanics are way too simple compared to how it was in ARR. This is a clear indicator how where the direction of this game went over these last two years and it was probably due to that data, casuals ran this game to the ground.

>>385523723

Lakshmi is braindead, Susano isn't any more or less hard than an average ARR primal, take off your nostalgia goggles. You were new to EX primals back then, but ARR EXs are simple mechanically. Feel free to queue for them again and see how easy they are for yourself. Halicarnassus is still fucking impossible with pugs.

>>385531024
>iLvl = stats gate

not him and I generally agree, but higher ilvl allows for more mistakes since a death or two won't mean you hit the enrage timer anymore. Also means you can play it more safely without having to dps to the last second.

>>385531169
he's talking about normal Pharos Sirius, which was pretty tough on release and wiped a lot of PUGs

>>385529120

What's your CP at?

>>385531024
doing titan ex at minimum ilvl compared to ilvl 130 is like a night and day difference in difficulty. people at minimum ilvl at nearly dead after 2 stomps on the floor. meanwhile at ilvl 130 it fucking tickles.

>>385531024

>Halicarnassus is still fucking impossible with pugs.

I cleared V3 on the second week with pugs, first week we were constantly hitting enrage.

>Susano isn't any more or less hard than an average ARR primal, take off your nostalgia goggles.

That's incorrect, there are barely any mechanics in the fight all that you have to do is run back to beat it. The easiest primal in ARR was probably Ifrit and you had to do a ton of shit (Which is even more complicated that what we got for ((Raids)) to beat it along with doing enough DPS to reach the tight DPS Req it had at the time.

>You were new to EX primals back then, but ARR EXs are simple mechanically.

I'm actually a Legacy player so it was a lot more simple for me actually.

>>385531617
Yeah, and that was good when I didn't know WHM's was also instant. AST just feels like garbage to me now, and I'm not sure why.

I was talking about ARR since i skipped HW entirely due to the casualization pandering that was happening at the time (They nerfed that bridge fight with a giant dragon). I just nope'd out asap

So does this game have a good story? My friend who got me into it was raving about how good the story was but all I've experienced so far is:
>You're the chosen one
>Our job is to stop primals
>Find out where the primal is
>You can't kill him yet do 30 missions before we trust you
>Oh no the primal killing people are dead/captured
>You want the legendary airship? We won't help you until you do 50 quests for us
It feels like there's potential in the story but it's full of endless padding

>>385531813
Because youre a DRG bab.
Real answer is because it had stuff from the MSQ like the end of 2.55, us leaving to ishguard for refuge so it actually had some story. Meanwhile the SB trailer
>Look its you and a random girl (at the time) fighting
>Pan to asia land
>H-he cut the bullets MASAKA?!!!
>STORM OF BLOOD BORN OF BLOOD *hawk screech*

>>385531880

That's more mechanics than >Just run back LOL

I finally got to the Praetorium. I was forced to do Castrum Meridianum unsynced, and it felt pretty lame.

Any chance I could convince 7 people to do the Praetorium synced with me?

>>385532196
Don't tell me you didn't get goosebumps when they showed a whole new continent for us to explore/

>>385532119
It is endless padding. That's the curse of an MMO. I found ARR to be a mindless slog, personally. HW is really good, but I have a boner for dragons. SB is all right; I would have preferred more political intrigue myself.

Overall, it's not as good as people say, but it's serviceable.

>>385532118

It wasn't just HP, they nerfed its damage aswell and reduced its hitbox so the stomps wouldn't 1 hit ko you and the shockwave wouldn't take out half of your HP.

>>385532361
Alright that was exciting, but then it lead to disappointment when we dont get to actually explore the whole land.

You can DPS stance through everything in this game outside of Savage. You can probably get away with it in O1S at least, too.

>>385532987
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

>>385531454

434? is that with food? In any case, this may not be optimal for how many CP you've got, but this macro has been doing good for me.

Granted, this is assuming the recipe will be done with 2 'Focused synthesis'. It uses 407 CP, so adjust as needed. Hell with how much CP you've got you can slap on ingenuity at the end.

I'm pretty sure you get all that shit by 64... although if you don't have the cross class skills, gonna need adjusting again.

Not 100%, but pretty close.

>>385532821
Basically, yeah. And it's generally a repeat of the same story anyways. "Oh no, the Beastmen have summoned a Primal! We need to attune to crystals and stop their bullshit! Then kill it!" Repeat ad nauseum. Then there's some shit about Garlemald.

HW actually has an arc. And so does SB. I don't blame people at all for using jump potions for ARR, but I generally think HW is worth it.

>>385533049
In everything besides Savage, you absolutely should be in DPS stance as much as possible, especially if your healer is an AST (which are most of them these days)
DRK even wants to drop grit for AoE tanking since Blood Weapon Quietus spam with the occasional DA Abyssal Drain for self-healing is totally batshit bonkers.

I played SCH for two years, and I won't play it again until they decide what they want the Job to be. Is it a mitigation healer, or a healer that relies on powerful healing abilities tied to a very limited resource? They don't seem to know.

Furthermore, WD is on a cooldown, and the fairy can only "Regen" one target at a time. WHM just feels the most coherent right now, and I'm disappointed that I waited 'til now to level it. But at least this way I'll have them all leveled, so that when SE inevitably fucks up the balance next patch, I'll be able to fall back on the one that's least fucked.

>>385524946
this game has lots of audio ques too for mechanics but for some reason people decide to blast some gay ass music on their PS4 or PC so they don't hear it.

>>385533278
Everyone has a job to play in the group.
The DPS should be dealing damage, if the dungeon is taking 40 minutes then how the fuck is that the healer's fault?
If you're a tank it's your job to tank, not to be an impatient piece of shit who risks a wipe for an insignificant increase to party damage.

>>385533121

>>385533445
they can, but enjoy the cutscenes anyways. They can't vote kick you when viewing them and ignore their "advice" to "watch them at the inn"

>>385533485
Just sounds to me that you don't bother to learn the fights and know when to shield so you prefer to be a reactive healer instead of a predictive healer. Enjoy your boring "rotation" on whm I guess.

>Criticize the fact that XIV's entire endgame is literally four stand alone fights, that's it

This is the dumbest fucking argument. If you use the same logic than literally every fucking contemporary MMO has more content than SB, even that new expansion for fucking LotRO.

I love XIV, but Stormblood is an unmitigated disaster of an expansion; it's honestly embarrassing compared to Heavensward. The difference between WoW-fags and XIV-fags is that when WoW gets a shitty expansion, they say as such, meanwhile XIV-fags drink the fucking Kool-Aid and defend the indefensible. I haven't seen a single argument for Stormblood that goes beyond "you're stupid" or "I just like it."

And no, you can't defend SB by saying HW was also lacking at launch. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Relic from 1.0 that was too ingrained into the game to remove easily. There's no reason to use classes now anyway, since jobs are straight upgrades. Think of it as the class upgrade from FF1. Also lore stuff, since shit like thaumaturges are common enough to have a guild, while black mages are special and any who attempt to use black magic without the proper soul crystal and training burn themselves up from the inside.

That would imply that people who did the normal modes could do the hard modes on their first try if they just had a slightly higher ilevel. I can guarantee that's not the case.

You might want the loot or you might enjoy the challenge. You aren't doing it to see a new boss though because you already beat the boss as party of the story progression.

>>385533348
You can stay in DPS stance in savage too, it's just a dumb idea while still in the learning and progression phase when you're unfamiliar with the fight. Paladin and Warrior can do it easily, and Dark Knight can handle it fairly well too.

People who tank in tank stance when they know the fight are just lazy

>>385532934
t. DPS shitter who can't even fucking AOE properly. Tanking in DPS stance isn't even fucking hard 99% of the time. Hell, once Dark Knight hits 66 he's BETTER at tanking dungeons in DPS stance than Tank Stance. Don't be such a casual piece of shit, if your healers aren't retarded and you POP YOUR FUCKING COOLDOWNS it's the simplest shit. DPS is everyone's responsibility.

yeah the ARR content pads the story out with tons of fetch quests throughout the story. PLUS the constant back and forth to Waking Sands. HW thankfully isn't as bad for it, and yes you need HW because the new job is unlocked in the main city of HW.

>>385537118
Correct, I use a tomboy glam on occasion
>>385537151
I dont hate erp if its not excessive

I did coil with a static during 1.0 up to turn 9. We liked that it was challenging but we cleared all of the available turns within two weeks after release. Unfortunately, before the last set of turns was released, we lost our 2 best dps and we couldn't find good replacements who could clear the content up to that point. Went through about 5 or 6 different DPS who said they left previous clear groups but found none of them could do the mechanics to even get past turn 8. The group fell apart and I couldn't be fucked with finding another group for a while so I stopped doing it. A friend left his group that he said was good and had cleared all of the available alex savage and wanted me to fill in only to find I was too far behind the skill curve to keep up and they weren't willing to wait for me to get up to speed so I was understandably kicked from the group. Since then, I haven't bothered with any high end content and just play casually but I gotta say, it kills me a bit the number of people I run into who can't do even the most basic mechanics.

The only reason you use CDs on dungeon bosses is because it is less GCDs the healer has to spend keeping your ass alive so they have more time to DPS. And even then I'd rather hold it for a big trash pull right afterwards.

No, most XIV players are actually quite normal and well-adjusted, unlike yourself. If you actually ERP and have backstories for your fairies, you have severe mental deficiencies.

>>385538314
You missed the part where he was doing big pulls. So I had to spam cure him instead of being able to contribute to dpsing on healer to speed up the run.

>>385538337
3% increase to damage is not useless especially on trash pulls where the trash do faster instead of taking fuck all.

>>385538685
3% damage is fucking nothing, if you're doing 3.6k dps the damage equals to 108 damage. Just a waste of a gcd at that point.

Why don't you stick to statics then? I admit, I fuck up mechanics 5 times even though I watched a video. It's probably because my Wildfire was coming up and I had to press like 10 buttons in a particular order during 10 seconds and didn't notice something. Or I still don't know the fight 100% so I didn't know that particular mechanic was coming up. Or I simply make a fucking mistake. What the hell are you doing in PF anyway? I bet you're the guy who enters a ''kill'' PF group and after 2 wipes says ''the PF said kill, not practice'' or ''I thought this was a kill party''.

Once I asked my fc members what's the reasonable dps amount for O1s as DRG in 312 gear and people said uhh 3800. Are you people fucking serious?

>>385538856
What? 3% is not fucking nothing, because it adds up with other buffs. Also brd has nothing else to use their mp on so there is no reason to not use it at all other than being a shitter or lazy in which case the trash must be called out.

I don't see why the guy roleplaying is so bad unless he does it to everyone he meets.

I hope I didn't make them upset, I literally always had SOMEONE asking to do shit with me whenever I was on that alt. It was an interesting experience, if only to see the mindset behind these people I've been avoiding for years.

That's true though. Are you fucking deprived of brain cells?

>>385539213

It's definitely worth using whenever you have full MP and refresh up. Refresh makes foes get like 6 extra ticks.

I like this idea but it would only work if the fairy skills you get from this hypothetical tank fairy go off instantly. Trying to get pet ai to provoke in time for a tank swap would be infuriating.

On Neo Exdeath, but good try.

Iron Giant/Ninja phase of O3S is the only time my static has ever used mage LB. It's situational, and melee LB is always the norm.

If you're using meteor on fucking Apanda you're a retard, unless you have a SMN doing it.

>>385539225
The player base of FFXIV is full of trannies, lgbts, snowflakes, and shitter/casual apologist. I mean holy shit, the guy I'm talking to right now is out right defending brds not using foes even though it increases everyone's damage.

>>385539447

Sorry XIV, unlike WoW, actually puts enough effort into the aesthetics and spectacle that people want to see it for themselves first.

Why do you care even? Find a group to play with and problem solved. You can't expect everyone to conform to your vision to what this game is supposed to be played like. Most people in this game don't care for combat, they do other shit. So if you're playing it for combat, you're kinda playing the wrong game.

>>385539681

I've given up on Yshtola being killed because mascot. But on the bright side, Lyse is no longer a Scion and basically written out of the story, Papalymo is dead, Minfilia is dead. All we need is Thancred to die and we'll have a party of the only good Scions + Yshtola. Maybe make room for new blood.

It's a net DPS decrease compared to having a NIN LB3 him.
LB3 animation lock is devastating to personal DPS for RDM and BLM.
If you have a SMN with DoTs already ticking then go ahead, but your group actually has brain damage if they can't see how using an AoE LB on two fucking targets is a waste of time.
If the RDM/BLM get to keep casting while the NIN LBs, you'll do a greater net damage to both targets during the phase.
The caster(s) get to keep casting, the OT can switch off tank stance and DPS the boss earlier, and healers can stop focus healing the OT and DPS the boss earlier.

Who said anything about extremes? Use your words retard, no one mentioned guides about extremes or savage.

Does this game worth playing mostly solo?

>>385540639
Yes

>>385540361

And yet the playerbase still struggles with the 24m content that's designed to be done with little to no communication and has mechanics like "turn away when an eye appears above the boss" or "don't stand in glowing circles."

>>385540639
It's boring but possible.
