Feels like FFXIV has been really amping up the fan service angle outside the MSQ. Even in the MSQ though there is just random bits of fan service without any attempts to make it fit in. I guess Yojimbo was kind of apt and amusing, that's about it. I actually thought the Crystal Tower was fan service done right.

Omega still better than Alexander though.

I don't know why you fucking retards keep going on about this. FFXV was shit, the biggest disappointment. They should have just completely shelved Versus 13 instead of remodelling it in this. The combat was terrible and the broski main characters were unappealing.

Give it up, it was terrible. Fucking retards you're what I hate about final fantasy fans nowadays. Come back to me when you've played the ORIGINAL 4,6,7,8,9 and Tactics. FFXV is a shit on the bottom of my shoe compared to those.....newfags.

I would make an MMO that isn't content driven. There would be large open areas and NPC quests to do, but for the most part the playerbase invents their own things to do. An MMO should give people the tools to make a game, not hold their hand and force them to do specific things.

FFXIV is a perfect example of what not to do. You can do all the 'content' in less than a month. But then there's nothing else to do but grind the same dungeons a million times or grind tomes for pointless relic weapons. Older MMOs like RO or SWG had people playing literally for years. But with very little actual content. After 20 years, there's so much more an MMO could do now, but MMO developers are limiting themselves to PvE story and dungeons.

You might get more than a couple hundred bucks if you're on Balmung or Gilgamesh. Also "rare mounts" don't mean shit. Multiple 345 weapons or other o4s drops will make your character more marketable though.

Go look on playerauctions and see what's selling.

>What exactly would players do then if they are supposed to invent their own things? Give examples and elaborate.
If I was making an MMO, I would have a world where each person is a member of a country. The whole world is at war and basically on the borders of every country is being defended by constant fighting. For the people who want endless combat, they can get all they want by defending their borders. Countries can win or lose territory over time through these skirmishes.

Beyond the borders however, you need craftsman to gather materials and make weapons to keep the war going. So there would be healthy amount of stuff for the people who like that kind of gameplay. And it wouldn't be level based crafting/gathering like in FFXIV. Just open ended crafting/gathering like Terraria. The effort comes from seeking out the materials, not grinding to level 60 then buying the material off a marketboard. There would also be a trader class.

Then there would be other classes like spies, who sneak into enemy territory to steal attack plans. Or even pretend to be a member of another country, then kill a high ranking leader or sabotage a battle as it happens.

Then there's explorers/scouts, who's main job is to explore the world for various reasons. Finding resource deposits, seeking out weaknesses in another countries defenses, catch spies trying to sneak into their territory, etc.

The point is to set up a world where there is a lot more to do than just grind through a PvE story and grind dungeons. Where every player does all the same things.

>People played RO for years because the drop rates were fucking terrible
People played RO more because it gave them the illusion of a community. Yeah they had to play longer because of horrendous EXP and drop rates. But still you could get to level 99 in 3-4 months. That doesn't account for why they played the games for years.

Which is why I'm saying crafting in FFXIV is shit. And crafting should instead be about finding materials and learning the recipes to make new stuff with those materials. Instead of splitting the role into separate hand and land classes, they should be one class. The effort comes from gathering the materials, not setting your class to automatically make 255 iron hammers and leaving for an hour.

/v/ doesn't know what it wants. They complain a game is too WoW-like but criticize everything that makes it too out of the norm.

If people want to datamine or look up recipes on a website, that's fine. They will get their instant gratification, then leave. The difference is, people still have the option of finding things on their own through exploration. A game could also change resource spots daily or even hourly. Which is why scouts would be a useful class, as they would alert the crafters when and where new material deposits appear.

On the flip side, FFXIV has no exploration. You just sit in town and grind on a crafting table for hours. Or you go out to 'find' mats, which it takes less than a minute to find the tree or rock with the mat, and then you just grind it for hours.

They literally won't. Every quest, every recipe will be datamined before you even start loading into the game. Everything would be fucking found. It's literally a waste of time, have you not played any MMO in the last decade.

So far I honestly like it better than Mnach and *touches scar*. Void Ark threw you in with OCs that honestly didn't grab me aside from the designs and Alex had Y'shtola and Cid but otherwise felt incredibly disconnected after coming right out of the MSQ because of the tone.

Nero at least provides entertainment by existing and I feel like the tone minus the Chocobo is well grounded. I also like that Midgar has a presence because he is technically just sitting there in our pocket as a minion/mount.

Incentives ruin things even further.

Take pvp for example.

Sure people barely touched it but the people who did cared about it and knew what they were doing.

Then GARO happened and a shitter flood came and went. For better or worse many stayed and were getting better at it. That was starting to die down and get back to normal, but then exp was added. Now almost every match has people hacking, afking, or just being shitters with no agency to win. That alone would've ruined pvp but the fucking changes they made were the dumbest shit to date. DPS can't fucking kill anyone anymore. There's literally no reason not to play anything other than a bard/blm/summoner or a healer. MAYBE a paladin because cover is stupid as fuck. Pretty much everyone who DID like the previous pvp and wanted it improved got a big fat shit on their face.

And if a mode is terrible enough no amount of incentives will save it, just look at the diadem remake.

>>388973047
Fun fact, it's not a population issue, the backend of the queue system is so borked you wouldn't believe it if I told you.

Example, at early hours in the morning when there should be essentially nobody on and playing you can spend several minutes waiting for an instance when you queue for it solo unsynced. Shit just doesn't process. It's the same reason behind why the solo player instances got fucked and people couldn't do MSQ for a week.

Another fun fact, the game practically ddos's itself. If anybody played the beta for 1.0 you might remember the UI. EVERY FUCKING ELEMENT was tied to the server and demanded server responses, causing shit like 5 minute freezes every time you tried to open a menu(and this game is nothing but menus). Much of this system is still remnant in the one we have today. Every time you open a bag it sends a query to the server for every single item in it. This is why inventory expansions are blowing up their server.

This sounds way too over ambitious.
>Countries can win or lose territory over time through these skirmishes.
And how do you balance that around inevitable faction imbalances? Do you code it so losing factions are rubberbanded back and there's no point to fighting and everything stays even or do you just leave them in the dust and let servers become 90+% one faction.

>Beyond the borders however, you need craftsman to gather materials and make weapons to keep the war going.
Going back to the first point are people in a heavily losing faction even going to bother? Conversely if you're part of the dominant faction what point is there in "keeping things going" if there is no opposition? Assuming that gathering shit in your own territory is easier/safer then doesn't that just create a negative feedback loop where losing factions have an even harder time staying relevant?

Even if you implement features to try to help balance things out the reality is most players would probably rather reroll/transfer to another server where their faction is top dog instead of logging in every day to a tiny country that's gimped in every capacity.

>And how do you balance that around inevitable faction imbalances?
I actually have ideas for that, but of course it would take actual testing to see if they would work. But spies play a big role in it. As well as a system of GMs who pose as live players and influence people, sometimes with helpful advice and other times with lies. It is up to the players to trust this information or not. But you could concievably have one country which is losing the war badly. But a 'spy' (human or GM) could bring them some really good information that turns the tide of battle. Information of where one enemy group is setting up for an attack so you can launch a surprise attack or information of a good gathering spot no one is exploiting, etc.

Again, it would take play testing to see if it actually works on a grand scale.

Also, if a country gets all of its territory taken over, they would be absorbed into the country that won. Concievably, you could reach a point where one country takes over the whole world. But is that a bad thing? That would be a monumental achievement for an MMO, giving players the ability to reach such a goal. Then after this is done, the game could either reset back to a baseline or keep going and see if the massive single country can keep itself together. Rebellions from a lack of strong leadership or internal disputes over land/money/resource spots/etc could easily fracture the country over time.

But I will fully admit that the game is way too ambitious to actually be made. At least with the current companies making MMOs.

The joke is, when playing a lala, everyone treats you exactly the same as if you were a Roe. They keep saying you are the strongest warrior in the world and amazed/afraid of your powers, etc. But they also look down on you in dialogue.

This is why I liked the end of ARR so much. Sure, you're a god slaying monster but you can't fix Ul'dah's political problems or the rampant homeless situation. HW was strong for this because you got knocked down hard a lot with situations completely out of your control.

Add a massive sandbox zone ala Star Wars Galaxies planets, allow player-placed housing/city facilities/factories/etc, and add the tools and resources needed to allow for a player-run economy. Make end gear have FFXI mechanics of upgrading like taking them through Salvage. Make end gear upgradeable by crafters. Also, player bounties.

During boss jumps, invulns, between pulls in dungeons. Don't do it if you have a target. If you're not 70 yet you get Deep Mediation which gives you 50% of opening a Chakra when you Crit and Brotherhood at 70 which builds Chakra automatically when a nearby party member uses a Weaponskill.

>>388973256

Every class is viable. I would recommend leveling a tank/healer first though just because you get faster queues to do story content.

MNK - straightforward melee, most fun in terms of flow
DRG - synergy melee, plays nice with ranged roles and has the most raid buffs among melee
SAM - selfish melee, biggest numbers to jerk with
NIN - utility melee, has the biggest single raid buff, threat utility that's very wanted in general for tanks
BRD - UI watcher: the class, most active and spammy class in the game, most powerful raid buffs
MCH - Burst ranged, very structured rotation that requires looking up beforehand, good raid buff
SMN - Similar to MCH, only takes even longer to reach their burst phases, fairly structured rotation of cooldowns but easy freeform-ish play outside of it
BLM - immobile caster DPS, later on gets a lot of tools for bypassing their casting weakness, high focus on positioning
RDM - consistent caster dps, fairly mobile and is similar to MNK in that it has a good flow and is hard to screw up

PLD - only tank with Block with the shield, most cds and generally hardest to die with even if you dunno whats going on, most raid utility cds
WAR - designated "dps" tank, can be great defensively but trades that off with serious dps loss, has no raid utility cds
DRK - magic defense tank, good mix of PLD esque cds, raid utility is an excellent short cd shield

I play DRG and don't have any inferiority complex. But I actually play the role correctly and don't just keep spamming the same level 35 combo over and over. The people who do this should be mocked.

I also don't know what server people are playing on where DRG are getting mocked. Most people I see are throwing a fit over WHM and MNK getting nerfed. Which is also stupid since my character is also a WHM and the changes made the class even easier to play. No more stance dancing.

I'm actually a BLM main raiding with a similarly geared SAM and I'm always above them, but I attribute it at least partially to skill difference, I've mained the same job for 3 years now.

But a dummy parse isn't a remotely fair comparison of their DPS either, I do nearly 800 more DPS on a dummy on my i335 BLM vs i220 SAM, and the BLM SSS dummies have slightly more HP than the SAM dummies so it's clear that after the cast speed buffs SE expects BLM to outperform SAM in a dummy situation-that said even 60s Triplecast won't save BLM's dps from suffering to mechanics more than other jobs.

Point is regardless of dummy numbers or my personal experience, FFlogs shows that, for 99+% of players, SAM outperforms BLM in all fights. You could argue maybe there's just more bad BLMs bringing the average down, but that seems unlikely considering the crazy number of SAMs.

Problem is, that even with a dummy, BLMs as long as they turret, they will get more dps, but in an actual fight, thats not always the case, and on the other side, SAM can keep moving, dealing with mechanics and still keep a good sustained dps.

And I love BLM over every SAM shitter.
>>
>>388978706
Good BLM are people who really focus on their job, know how to maximixe and squish as much dps as possible while dealing with mechanics.

SAMs are fuckers who want to reach big numbers without so much effort or just worse weebs than DRKs.

there's no way they can "fix" BLM without a total rework of how it actually functions so either they keep buffing it's numbers and not actually doing shit to rectify the real problems or they add some utility to it so you're not dumping all your DPS because the boss put an aoe indicator on you

Are you raiding? In general - use it as soon as its up for the DPS, position yourself ahead of time whenever possible using the Triplecast window. In raid once I know when to expect a mechanic, I may hold it for a few seconds (~5 seconds at most). For example Triple comes up a few seconds before the first vines in the first part of O3S so I will hold it for those few seconds to use during movement, unless I have TC/FS procs with enough time on them in which case I'll just pop triple asap and use the procs for the mechanic.

Honestly use it on CD for the DPS almost all the time. There are other ways to move without losing DPS that dont involve holding a strong offensive cooldown.
>>
>>388979104
>so like every fucking job out there
BLM have it much harder, cuz you press a wrong skill and you can lose 1k dps. Its like SMN death punishment. Meanwhile SAMs like every other melee still have some sustained dps.

Shit bro, you better just quit for O4s now. SCH cannot carry by its own and needs a good co-healer to really shine. If you can't leave, SCH should play AST because at least they can solo heal when it comes down to it.
>>
>>388979310
no other dps actually has to do that shit since literally every single one of them can just walk to where they need to be when it becomes important without losing almost any dps
meanwhile BLM has to fucking chain slidecasts to preposition for mechanics
it's unnecessary asspain
it'd be fine if BLM was the only class absolutely shitting out DPS but when SAM gets to do that much damage without even half the effort that's when we have a problem
>>
>>388976023
WAR receives slightly less healing from all spells and significantly less healing from all abilities except Benediction and Benison. Healers keep getting more abilities every expansion, so we've gone from pretty much no healing difference in ARR to an actually noticeable one in SB.

Hi, I haven't played this game since Twintania was the hardest thing in the game.
I'm thinking about resubbing but I'd like to know a few things.

How long would it likely take for me to get caught up and relevant (none of the people I played with still play so I'd have to find a new static)?
Is gil worth anything now?
What's the easiest job to get a group with (or rather, the most in demand job)?
>>
>>388979438

Well the good news is I don't think he's gonna be able to raid with us anymore next week due to a new job or something, but still I just want to find a new static, problem is finding a static doing O3S/O4S that needs both a tank and healer. Even if we drop the healer we still have the NIN that does sub 3k dps.

It's actually much harder to keep Astral/Umbral now than in HW.

We have another almost 3 second cast to fit into UI after B3 and the timer is somehow a lot stricter, in HW UI/AF could literally hit 0 and if i was halfway through a cast it would get refreshed, something to do with it being an untracked buff now (not on buff bar only Job Gauge) has made it fall off earlier than it did before.

I've been raiding on BLM and almost nothing else as long as I've played this game so it's easy to me, but more than another job I see disastrously bad BLMs in DF... not saying it's the hardest job ever but there's clearly a lot of room for error and the punishment for error is still severe (more forgiving than HW BLM for sure though).

>spend two braincells on looking 10s ahead in a fight

Actually with the chain casting with rarely room between GCDs to move or use abilities at all without clipping, I'm usually trying to think 20+ seconds ahead and position as early as possible when I have procs or Triple because I know I may not get another chance to move without clipping GCD for a long time.

>>388979336
sam is a combo based job. you are punished for pressing the wrong skill. the only thing that's sustained is the dot tick
in fact, what exactly is a "wrong skill" to press as BLM when it has the fewest buttons to press? do you accidentally refresh AF with f3?

BLM's dps plummets to the ground when it transposes, drops enochian or lets foul lapse. but "pressing the wrong skill" isn't a problem with a job with so few buttons

>I said "Good" BLMs
i was talking about the SAM
for how much of an effortless job it is look at how much dps it's pulling

>>388979310
>they extended the duration of Umbral/Astral AGAIN
they extended it once before?
it's explicitly 13 seconds now thanks to how the job gauge timer works. the old AF/UI could still be refreshed when the timer has disappeared (i.e. MORE than 12 seconds have passed)

>no other dps actually has to do that shit since literally every single one of them can just walk to where they need to be when it becomes important without losing almost any dps

Yeah melee don't have positional or anything. They certainly never have to save cds for movement or anything, or time their shukuchis. They all just smack the boss while you're doing a 5 button rotation for 90% of the fight screaming about how hard it is that you have to do something for the remaining 10%. SAM has more fight optimizations than BLM has, believe me. Pretty much every class besides MNK/RDM does.

What most people have issues is with not losing AF/UI, like for example, if you were thinking of casting a Fire IV but you had to cast a Fire to refresh AF, and then you lose Foul or even worse, have to use Blizzard to get UI for mana.

>i was talking about the SAM for how much of an effortless job it is look at how much dps it's pulling
Same thing, every job has its good and bad players, but just try to compare the amount of SAMs and BLMs with parses and see how much the difference there is, and try to decide why the difference is so big.

It's actually one of the most optimization heavy jobs you know. Nothing lines up especially well and alot of the knowledge about hagakure/meikyo is tailored around your overall kill speed. A difference of a minute changes the optimal cd usage for SAM in a specific fight.

To add on, SAM doesn't need any SkSp, there are breakpoints that change your timing slightly but it's just preference not a DPS gain nor loss. And later in the patch cycle, Crit will start to weigh more strongly than DH due to scaling, but DH is better at least through the end of 4.1.

Yeah I'm sure the Samurai is trying to position themselves in the corner 20s early and spam Enpi for 20s. No, dipshit, "every dps" doesn't do what BLM has to do to keep DPS. Meleelets. When will they learn?

Side note, I like when Melee mains talk shit about casters being easy but when you tell them why don't they play it if its so easy they say "I hate casting". Wow it's almost like standing still for 3s chain casts with no room inbetween without being able to weave whatever you feel like or run circles around the boss is what makes the job hard instead of mashing a braindead combo sequence.

I'm shit at BLM, how much spell speed to I need to pull 5k in savage? Do I just leave determination as low as it is?
I'm doing 4.7k in dummy at i319 V melded, but in a real fight I drops to 3.5k even when i just make a couple of mistakes and recover in 5 seconds. It's a mystery

Do you all play appropriate jobs? Lala mages, Roe tank? Is the Elezen a DRG and the Highlander a MNK?

Easiest way of improving is checking the # of casts you're getting versus other BLMs 90+ and up since BLM's dps is all casts. After that is triplecast/sharpcast locations. In my alt static, they more or less let me position wherever for things like O3s protean and ask for when you want a specific time for AM. For example, SCH goes to my square so I an AM to him after the pig stack for the 2nd folio. Remember to scathe when you absolutely cannot cast again, get used to AMing into people with allagan field for o4s. Remember how many leylines you can get in a fight. If it's something like a 8:40 kill for example, then you have roughly 1 min of leeway with how you choose to use your leylines, so you can delay it until after a mechanic for example. Same with Triplecast.

Good BLMs wouldn't call their class hard anymore. Hard was praying for procs in Heavensward. Right now, you're no longer shit on by mechanics.

The other anon doesn't know how to communicate his message properly.
Every Tank and Healer is really good right now, thus no job is particularly "looked for".
That being said, some popular jobs are RDM, BRD, NIN, PLD and AST so if you want to go for those go ahead.
