XIV is making SE money hand over fist. It's not that great, considering it's the exact same shit from 3 years ago, but it's definitely not a financial flop

XIV might be selling more if they built a modern MMO rather than a WoW clone that gets a lot worse and some things better.

Sam where half of my gear is 320 with "I might get an upgrade next week" melds and no augmented pieces. Though I also held back on using infusions in case it's ANOTHER aether 30 wipe streak but ended up clearing.
>>
>>388211984

It's the welfare updates that are making people stop, not the repetitious bullshit we've been fed for the past 3 years.

Have some more tomes, 4 boss raids and more shit that no one wants like Diadem 3.0.

Where did our money go all those years, into Assassin's Fantasy XV? 2.x had more content than 3.x despite an added cash shop and supposedly increased subscription rates.Oh right, those funded the European servers every Korean FotM trash MMO manages to have at launch.

Every year WoW changes major systems, good or bad at least they try to change things up, in FFXIV we're given pathetic excuses such as server limitations or what have you, we finally get an inventory increase and it's so small it's not even worth talking about. It's no wonder people I used to play with quit long before I did.
>>
>>388212352
You seem to be having the same problem as our sam, the gear is fine but they cannot figure out why their damage is so low. With 320 you should definitely be at least blue.

You might be right. In my case I do know where my dps leaks came from; I remember disengaging the fuck away when the boss hopped to briar tile since I didn't want to risk getting vuln ticks on a tank/healer, and minor leaks during mindjack and spellblade holy stuns. Most importantly, the group of ninja can shoot your dps through the roof. My group burned them fast and my big dick aoe was on cd so I was left out on that.

>/v/ falling for bullshit numbers as usual

Stormblood sold over a million in its first week.

80k was physical PS4 sales in Japan alone.

Which is less than 10% of the overall sales considering it sells far more outside Japan, far more digitally, and far more on PC.

If Stormblood sold 80k in its first week, only about 8 out of the game's 54 servers would be full, and nearly every server was not only full, but had login queues in the THOUSANDS the first two weeks after launch.

It wasn't a flop to reddit. Reddit loves this trash. Reddit can't get enough of it. Same with those that have sunk cost imprinted on their very beings, those that will continue to play it and constitute its die hard core in perpetuity. The same ones that spam this fucking board with their pseudo-generals because /vg/ is such a cess pit. But to speak of its quality: it's very formulaic. In fact, XIV hasn't changed at all since its release.

The first week of a content update is like eating sweet candy. You get to see all of the cool sights, the bosses that were ripped off from previous games because Yoshida's team is so creatively bankrupt, you get to speed through the two (2) dungeons they give you with each update. After you've seen it all it's back to eating stale bread for months and months, or even years if your only draw is the raid tier.

If you like stale bread, then go for it. Have a blast.

If you want something structurally sound you play Legion. It has plenty of flaws but there just is nothing else that comes close to a game that rakes in over a billion dollars each year.

You don't deserve any special treatment just because you play a specific race. If you fucked up, you fucked up.

Yeah, eventually it'll probably get to that point. The 50ish hours I played leveling in WoW was actually pretty fun though. It might just be because it's all new, and I'm burnt out on XIV at around 5000 hours, but I liked it a lot better than XIV's roulette and dungeon spam.
I also really hate how claustrophobic XIV's maps are. WoW is pretty huge and open, and I enjoy exploring. WoW's community also seems to be more cozy and normie compared to the stutterposting weebs with anime character names on XIV.

That's the fallacy that's commonly attributed to Final Fantasy's "success". The drones that frequent these threads don't bother to compare and contrast what they're actually getting for a 13.99 sub fee. Which, in actuality, is less than what you get in modern day F2P titles.

And that is a jaded generalization. Warcraft is structurally the best there ever has been (netcode and responsivity, instancing, cross-realm interplay and sheer volume of both players and development with being the only big name on the market). Too bad it's weighed down by decades worth of baggage and garbage like titanforging and artifact weapons.

>>388226306

Or, you could not be retarded, and just play other games between the major patches, which by the way are about four times as frequent as WoW's, while containing more content as well. One new raid with 4/5 bosses + 2 new dungeons + one special trial boss + one new type of gameplay content (new PvP mode/new minigame/new roguelike dungeon/etc) every 3 months is miles above every other MMO.

I suppose it comes down to preference, but I like having one as the same class as my DoW/DoM main (to recycle old gear) and another as a DoL. The former are really useful in getting crafting mats that drop from mobs (Halgai Manes, etc.). Sending the latter class out on exploration ventures can net you some cool minions, but in general, I think the DoW ones are a bit more useful since the DoL ones can only gather a select few materials and even then not very efficiently. Still, if you go miner or botanist, you can get crystals and clusters, I think, which might be helpful. The benefit of having a fisher retainer is a chance at getting the Fat Cat and Gestahl minions. As someone whose only DoL retainer is fisher, it's not super useful. Go with what sounds more useful to you. Your retainer's class doesn't have a bearing on Quick Exploration, I don't think.

Not to mention WoW raids have more encounters in them and generally better balancing.

Meanwhile XIV only has four fights per tier (and now are just glorified Trial fights), and wastes all of its resources on production values instead of the fight.

Well I think the whole problem with XIV's lack in the graphical department is that it's running on a 2012 engine.
If they want to release something comparable to modern day games they'd have to build the game from scratch, and if they did decide to do that, that would make for another FF game.

Why is this game catered to sluts (C@s, Lizards) and memelords (Roe,Lalashitters)?
The only race with a hint of decency are Hyurs.

Healers/Tanks are actually well balanced in general, no matter what /v/ says. I wish WoW was as prompt about balancing, but they clearly balance with the intention of creating artificial interest so it can't be helped.

You play this game for a while and pretty much everything about DF will annoy you. Healers who use medica II or aspected randomly during a pull where none of the adds are capable of dealing aoe damage is infuriating. Hearing the cure/physick/benefic healing ping every gcd while the healer does 0 dps is also annoying as hell. SCHs are the worst though, shitstains who're so used to 3.x healing. The easiest healer role to dps in, all you need to do is Bane once or Miasma II and you're doing 1k+ minimum and I have to fucking sit there hearing adlo/physick pings every gcd.

Personally, I enjoyed 14 more than WoW because its more casual, and dealing with work as a recent uni graduate is a god send, I can play for two hours a day, clear O1S-2S enjoy, have decent gear and be happy.

Meanwhile, WoW is an absurd grind in everything, fights didnt seemed as exciting as FF (at least until nighthold) the game absurd rng means you cant plan your gear or your objectives nicely, its too focused on combat instead of various little things to do in 14 (not RP obv.).

So in the end, 14 feels more polished, easier to understand and to play with someone who's not a neet, and that plays and does other stuff besides a single mmo.

It has been said that FFXIV is more casual friendly. Its also true that FF helps more when introducing people to what a MMO is, with the hall of the novice and mentor system. Meanwhile, WoW doesn't get as many new players as FFXIV but the players they have are most of them people who played WoW before and quit until they came back for something, ie. Legion.

Too bad while XIV elves are less of a cunt than regular elves it's also the only time in history they're 9-head-tall wide-shouldered disproportionate freaks. It's always hilarious to see 'I like elezen!" mentals on /xivg/ accompany each of their posts with a picture of an elf from some buttfuck game/anime because even they know those actually look good.
>>
>>388241797
Reading this thread, it seems to be mostly healers that are complaining about their groups and I imagine that when your job is to keep other people alive, you get a very keen eye for incoming damage sources and can quickly identify when people are fucking up, which might be more than you realize. That being said, my own personal experience mirrors what you described. I also don't play a healing job.

Into the "big project" money pit. This game is used to fund shit like FFXV and KH3, in fact it wasn't until shortly after SB released that KH3 finally got an actual release date. They reinvest the bare minimum to keep this game afloat, hell Yoshi himself has said they're only 3-4 additional development staff away from being able to deliver another Savage fight per tier but they somehow can't get the help despite this game making money hand over fist.

Specialist skills aren't amazing, so it's not super important. The extra Craftsmanship and Control are kinda helpful, I guess.

For fuck's sake, FFXIV isn't science. It's not a one-off mission to Mars where everything needs to be precise and calculated and comprehended months in advance. What mtq does is mention the shit that's going to occur in the fight and this is more than enough to jumpstart anybody with half a brain for practice/progression.

Are SAMs that broken? I'm a BLM in i326 and in 2S while having a lot of uptime I can get any higher than 4.5k. How is that possible in 4S isnt that fight more hectic?, or maybe your party is getting buffed a lot.

Still thats a lot for a i325 dps, my question still remains as if SAMs are that above everyone else, highest I saw was a monk hitting 4.4k w/o deaths and the 340 weapon.

DPS have literally the same mechanics as tanks and healers in O4S barring GXA if you're doing the greedy strats, in which case the stack marker and tank without lightning fuck off to the left, and DPS checks being laughable has nothing to do with playing optimally

4.4 is really the highest you've seen? That seems kinda low, with good uptime and if the swap mechanics don't target you too much you should easily be hitting 5k+ with a 340 weapon

Considering they target that monk for like wraiths for example, 5k is still kinda high. I still doubt people can above 4.5k with and ilvl around 325, unless your party is so optimized for damage or you get cherry picked by support buffs.

That or people who say that are basically less than 10% of the raiders you see everyday.

That makes a lot more sense, its pretty normal I hit 5k before the book phase as a BLM but after that it starts to get hectic.

If you seriouly clear with 4.8k or more with that ilvl I would still call that bs.

Being melee is actually suffering, all the stationary balls in the middle, the 4 moving balls from the middle, not going near the other DPS while staying in melee range while you can't see shit under his fucking cape

That would require a huge amount of animation work. The development team would rather focus on other aspects of the game.

>Be melee
>Black hole goes off
>3 tethers surround your character and you can't see two of the holes they're attached to because of exfaust's cape

I get it, for healers there's some optimizations you need to keep track of with timing certain heals and swiftcasts. Tanks need to feel each other out and synergize swaps and their big mitigation buffs.

But if you're a healer or tank, and you're dying during black hole at full health + shields + whatever extra mitigation, please reevaluate life. You can practically face fuck those stationary black holes, they practically don't exist. Your path of safety, never changes once you call out your designated kiting area.

Meanwhile as a melee I'm here clenching my ass every time because I have less than a second to decide which direction I have to move to avoid all three or four moving holes which will rape me if I so much as look at them funny, develop psychic powers with the other dps so avoid and give each other space, and possibly avoid a tank or healer who for some reason decided it was a smart idea to kite between the dps. My path to safety always changes, DPS never get the same safe zones during black hole.
>>
>>388254581

But it's not even that hard of a fight, I tried to help them get a clear for a good 40 minutes before I decided to try and vote dismiss. I'm not the most amazing player in the world, but I at least try to be aware during a fight and try to understand the mechanics.

Will try. I don't care about the perks myself. His character is a female miqo'te and mine a female au ra so I thought it would look cute.
I'm also extremely bored with this game.

You never use meditation mid fight, you get a trait that gives you chakra on hit, or you use meditation while there's literally nothing to hit, also keep in mind saving GL3 is always more important so form shifting to third stance is always higher priority

>>388256897
Is it kept up to date?

>>388256740
You use meditation whenever you're not able to attack the boss (EG if he does an AOE around him, run away and meditate once or twice depending on how long you're away from melee range). You also use it during phase transitions. The only time you should be using meditation when you're in melee range is if Demolish is at 4 or 5 seconds left when you're in Coeurl form and you have no damage buffs up. Then you use one meditation to stagger the demolish a bit so you won't clip it too early (this is especially important if said Demolish snapshotted any party buffs or Riddle of Fire).

Addons fall in 3 categories.

Quest bot which does MSQ for you (presumably for people who used to offer powerleveling services before jump potions)
Routine bots which play the class for you (the default ones work pretty great at least in PotD, so no idea why you'd buy those)
And the few good ones, shit like Frontlines bot, or whatever else there is, didn't see use in them myself. I remember it had a Gardening bot too, about the only thing I found interesting.

Good healers are pretty rare from my experience.
Most are either shit, or drama beacons.

Healers are usually women, gay men, or people who are just used to never having any sort of difficulty thrown at them. So when they reach Exdeath and have to play at the top of their game, they can't handle it.

No you kike, most shit is given to you by default. Only the best grind method for combat jobs is locked behind paywall.

still less drama than having a female in your static

Healers statistically have the stupidest players
The worst part is good players don't want to play healer because its such a boring and unrewarding job

is AST fun? I've been playing whm and it's literally two buttons, either pressing stone or pressing cure
>>
>>388258542
Fucking kek.
>>
>>388258542
you sound like you're causing drama, how drole

you put up "LF healer for static" and question them through whispers, if you dont want them because they are female just say there are other candidates or something. No need to cause drama yourself, unless you're into that kind of thing whatever man
>>
>>388258671
Pretty much this unfortunately
The role is just full of people who don't want to put in any effort
>>
>>388258237
The best healers already belong to full statics. So the statics that are looking for healers now are getting the worst of the crop that can't handle the pressure or cause drama.

i326 with shit melds and no optimization I'm doing 4.2k in o3s. I'm pretty sure you need a NIN, overmelded gear and various other buffs to actually hit 4.8k as sam though
And no, SAM does good dps but you can totally have shit like this >>388249145

I believe AST is a improved version of WHM. WHM has become obsolete in terms of playstyle. It's like the training wheels job like DRG or WAR. Eventually people move on to better things like SAM or DRK.

yes, it's slow.
>>
>>388259373
you're looking for a static member arent you? you SHOULD be having a conversation with them to see what they are like.

no point in arguing with you, your mind is made up. Good luck finding your optimal healer.

>Top 5 in O3S are all BLM
>SAM or MNK for every other fight

Hmm... perhaps... just maybe... possibly....
the fight is better for BLM?

It's all bloat on the ninjas, this is also how I got my best SAM parse for that fight, I just saved Guren for them and AoEd them like a cucklord instead of going on the giant like I was supposed to. Even if it weren't for this, I'd argue the fight is a little smoother for caster... but then again, there is a good amount of movement, and I've only seen through library on BLM so I don't know about the latter parts of the fight

There's a reason 6 materias for crafters and gatherers are priced at millions on some servers. It's miserable if you're not botting.
