I dunno if the comment applies to raids too but yeah, but that's apparently the peak of mechanically intense primals

>>143554765
The sad thing is that even if future primals start getting less and less complex, people will STILL have issues beating them.
There's still a lot of people out there who will likely never clear Seph EX, let alone Thordan EX.

I need to level a DPS to do stuff with the FC since there's already like 3 really good tanks and we all tank on rotation.

What is a good DPS that fits most of the comps and won't hurt a party if there's 2 of the same in the party?

Those aren't people.

>>143554080
No they didn't. They said, prior to 3.2, that the 3.2 primal "wouldn't be as difficult" as Thordan was*. They didn't say anything about primals in 3.3 or 3.4, let alone "indefinitely into the future".


*(And I don't know how true that ended up being in the first place; Thordan wasn't exactly more difficult than Sephirot, or even much less forgiving in his mechanics)

I really hope the game doesn't count the first time you did it as the path you chose in future events. I would be very upset about that.

>You basically have to stay at your PC all day full neet to compete in the market because they undercut by 1 gil every 5 minutes

It's been reall inconsistent lately, with queues for about 45 to the three I just had back to back.

So undercut by enough that they wait for your shit to sell instead of matching your price minus one gil.

>>143549225

How quick will you become bored in 3.3? Personally probably within a day.

3.3 actually seems like it's going to be even more phoned-in than 3.1 was

Which is actually kind of impressive in its own weird way

>>143558063
Nidhogg will last a week
Aquapolis will have garbage returns that will require a hotfix to revamp, but too little too late
Dungeons get tired after a single run

Palace of the Dead isn't until 3.35 and that was what I banked on, so 3.30 is a wash.

>watching the Heavensward intro the other day
>notice the floating islands "around" Ishgard
>they seem to have buildings on them
I wonder what those were supposed to be. Considering the render was finished before the expansion itself and likely in production way ahead of beta, those must either be scrapped locations or early Sea of Clouds. Or maybe they'll be the new housing areas in 3.4+?

>>143557669

>>143558960
Paladin's and dark knights are damn near exactly the same functionally and mechanically, especially when compared to the much more different Warrior.

In fact, dark knights are pretty much just paladins without heals, and a bit more "muh edge".

Just swap heals with an MP drain mechanic

>>143559327
>MP drain mechanic
>mechanic
Calling it that much is overkill

>>143559269
Aparently longer loading times, but that's mostly thanks to nobody but the hardcore retards giving a shit about PvP.

The real problem are the shitters who switch GCs to the one current strongest, dragging them down.

Speaking of PvP. How is The feast doing? Never touched it and never will, but I'm curious if it's actually failing.

Brahms. Teamspeak. Now.

>>143559117
The issue with aquapolis is that the current map system is annoying.
>maps are annoying as fuck to gather due to their really rare rate
>can only keep 2 on inventory, 1 per retainer and gotta mail them to someone to have them back to you if you want to keep more maps

>>143558830
They gave up on that when it turned out that they couldn't figure out how to balance Diadem or to make it fun without actually doing some work on it. It's just one failed experiment of the many that riddle FFXIV.

Don't expect to ever see another Diadem-style map, and I'd be surprised if they even bothered to make a new difficulty level on the same map for 3.3.

>>143559732
They should have put the portals into those unknown maps you can hold in stacks and higher the drop rate of them.
Or even better, give optional ways to get the portal. You'd think that devs who have to make a inventory items for every goddamn shit they could use old itens or other tasks for, could come up with five new systems that require at least one item.

And they could have designed The Aquapolis better. It already looks boring visually.

>>143560091
I'm sorry, did I forget the part where dark knight has a int debuff instead of str debuff, and the fact drk has anti magic cooldowns instead of anti physical cooldowns?

My deepest apology.

Great job explaining your counter argument also. Truly I am taken aback.

>>143560279
This, but it's not just thanks to incompetence or the community this time. If they had more people working on additional content and a higher budget, they probably could have come up with something better.

Meanwhile SE desperately tries to save XV. A already is overhyped game that may not live up to the hype, even if it is the best solo Final Fantasy ever made.

>>143560279
What the fuck is with this dev team and the constant experimentation? Don't they realise the massive amount of utterly dead, pointless content they're leaving us with as a result of trying? Diadem was dead within a fucking WEEK of release. Seven entire days.
And don't even get me started on garbage like Lords of Verminion. Nobody wanted that.

>>143560384
Thanks for proving me right with yet another unbelievably retarded post.

>>143560279
>It's just one failed experiment of the many that riddle FFXIV.

Like...? The only other failed experiment you could even possibly name is Lord of Verminion and that came in the same patch.

>>143560832
The entire Gold Saucer is a failed experiment. Poorly conceived minigames. Silly aesthetic items that with the exception of Fenrir can be obtained in a few days and then no reason to ever come back. I'm not saying minigames need to give out raid drops, but how about some reagents, cordials, manuals, materia, weekly randomized glamour pieces instead of just the fake currency? Or what about real gil?

>>143561156
>The entire Gold Saucer is a failed experiment.

No it isn't. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is. The only flaw of the gold saucer is that the community itself ruins things like triple triad tournaments by win trading.

>>143561156
>Poorly conceived minigames.
This bothers me the most. I expected them to play more like what we got with Chocobo Racing, LoV and Gates only not in an instance.

>but how about some reagents, cordials, manuals, materia, weekly randomized glamour pieces
Pretty much because MUH MARKET ECONOMY.

>instead of just the fake currency? Or what about real gil?

>>143561286
>verminion is dead

>>143561286
Just because a handful of people still go there like you doesnt mean it was a success. Almost nobody plays Vermillion. Almost nobody does chocobo racing. Almost nobody does TT anymore now that they have all the cards. Nobody goes there just to play silly 10 second minigame machines. Anyone who was trying to get Fenrir should have gotten it eons ago. Short of this current event theres been no reason to keep going there other than people on Balmung doing ERP dates and shit.

Anybody else notice the hairstyle that looks like JP's from Redline?

That's the fault of the community and players for not doing it. Chocobo racing and triple triad are nearly identical to their counterparts in the classic games.

Desynthesis, Guildhests, dual-job classes, classes in general, actual proper SCoB-style Savage raids, GC ranks (oh boy, one new glamour gear set three years into the relaunch), company workshops, Morale (and everything from the first couple PvP patches)

Plus arguably Hunts, Treasure Maps, and everything in the Gold Saucer, soon to be joined by Aquapolis and whatever that other type of casual dungeon is called.

Its the community's fault if a game isn't fun or doesn't provide meaningful rewards? Anon I know it hurts to hear but we live in an era where players need that carrot on a stick. I guarantee you the place would be bustling if they scrapped MGP and gave out real gil or at least let you trade in the MGP for actually useful things. Then they need a system to cycle and prioritize certain events and games. Like "This week is chocobo racing week and if you win X games you get this pet/glimglam/materia" and then also apply that on a daily basis to the smaller games like the gathering/basketball ones.

>>143561868
If WoW is anything to go by, people don't do side-stuff that's for fun unless they are literally forced into it (such as garrisons).

>>143562036
All of that content is utilized other than classes and the dual-class SMN and SCH really.

It's the community's fault for being filled with people who don't know how to have fun with anything.

That's essentially the entire reasoning behind why people don't even try to enjoy the mini-games.

>>143560091
I dunno dude, DRK doesn't really play like PLD, but that's more an issue of PLD feeling like a half-finished, beta test version of DRK than because the two classes are fundamentally different. Both classes pretty obviously come from the same place in terms of design.

They should probably just fold some of PLD's tricks into DRK (ie: make DA Dark Dance into Sheltron, 30s cooldown with 100% proc rate, native Awareness and Provoke) and get rid of PLD, at least until they come up with an idea for it that isn't shit.

>>143562295
They asked for Gold Saucer. They didn't sign up for tiny little 10 second minigames that reward you practically nothing of value. They expected something from it. Cosmetics are SHIT and people clearly wanted more, otherwise they would keep going there for 'fun.'

I didn't think there were people so far gone that they'd shill for fucking Guildhests. This is unreal.

No, when something stops being offered at level 35, and hasn't received a single update in the almost-three-years since the game released, it doesn't count as anything other than a failed experiment.

The fact that people queue for it for a piddle exp bonus when they're leveling from 1-50 does not change that, and by that logic, the dual-jobstone class idea is alive and well, because just LOOK at all those people playing Summoners and Scholars.

>>143562907

I will never understand how they never added more. I know they are supposed to be """tutorials""", but they were a good idea for quick content.
>dual-job classes
I will never understand how that was supposed to work with attribute points attached to the base class, especially considering that they wanted people to be able to play every class and job.
>classes in general
That's from vanilla XIV. They had to keep them. Still, could have made something with it.
>actual proper SCoB-style Savage raids
This might be PS3 and dev limitations.
>GC ranks (oh boy, one new glamour gear set three years into the relaunch)
That's a running joke at this point they don't want to break.
>company workshops
Could have been more individual customization, but PS3 limitations. Should have been part of private housing too.
>Morale (and everything from the first couple PvP patches)
Could have worked if PvP had their own set of jobs and not, like dual-classes, are forced to the same attributes, skills and gear like regular jobs. Could have had them separated.
>Plus arguably Hunts
That was a poor idea from the start. Again, could have been so much more yet almost killed progress in other content.
>Treasure Maps
The only shit that pisses me off is that I sometimes only get one item, shards + 2k gil, or even worse just shards and 2k gil on Heavensward maps. Not even the old maps were that shitty.

Because its not fun, thus they need to back it with rewards. Typically when you 'hang out' you do something like an actually interesting game, movie, or social event.

Like, for fuck's sake, if you're so fucking stupid that you think that something counts as a success just because it's still technically in use, then nothing in this game has ever failed, ever, because people still go to Diadem to fish, Nora still tries to play Pugilist at level 60, there's a post on Reddit about how elemental materia is super overpowered, and there's probably some autist on the official forums who pays a monthly subscription to do nothing but sit in a queue all day for level 50 Wolves' Den, to play the one match that he actually gets in a week.

This is the cancer killing MMOs nowadays. They're filled with people like you who feel like everything has to have some sort of reward or it's not worth doing.

No, it's more like

You guys are literally no fun allowed fags.

Doing your guildhests once is not regularly utilized and is poorly thought out since it ends at such a level. You can check the queue for yourself. People very rarely use guildhest roulette itself because the EXP bonus on it is tiny, so they usually just manually queue for their missing hests and move on. They need to expand upon them up to level 60 and introduce serious raid mechanics like

>Stacking on platforms with others
>Facing away from petrifaction
>Tank swapping
>Tethers of all sorts
>Using line of sight to avoid deadly mechanics
>Actually giving good rewards

This is the same issue with the beginner zone as well where they teach you the most bare bone essentials that pretty much any retard who has touched a class based game or MMO should know instead of mechanics.

If people use them every time they level a new class then they are being utilized well. Something doesnt have to be used every single day forever to be considered a successful concept, especially since the whole point of hests is just to introduce new players to mechanics. It was never meant to be something that rivaled dungeons in importance.

>>143564007
>SE hasn't used guildhests for anything since 2.1, and even that was just a band aid to get people to do two hests no one did.

They actually updated the MSQ specifically to remove the Guildhests. Now instead of doing the Guildhest with the Morbol and the bubbles, you just have to kill an extra 3 Morbols on the overworld.

sorry for late image but this was the only imperial shit i could find

But seriously. I know it's an MMO, but there's a lot of things that waste time by design.

Like looking for maps. Why is it so random? You know I'm looking for a certain one and will get it, but you sometimes let me try for almost half an hour. I could use that time to do other things besides queueing. Like actually help other players with something. If it's not a real task to get these maps, then stop pretending random finds are actual content, Yoshi!

>>143563854
>So fucking what? It's not like FFXIV Gold Saucer doesn't have things you can play with other people.
Because it doesn't matter if people don't like something in a thing they don't HAVE to PAY monthly for. If you want me to still pay your sub for a MMO, then you better give me good content and rewards that aren't just a raid or a dungeon every three months.

>>143564163

Why do you have to be rewarded for doing something that you should be having fun doing to begin with?

Video games are for fun. If you don't have fun playing FFXIV, have you ever considered that maybe it isn't the type of game that you enjoy?

Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean it's shitty either. Different people like different things. Just because one person likes chocolate, and another person likes vanilla, doesn't mean that vanilla is shit to the chocolate person, or that chocolate is shit to the vanilla person.

Of course you can't please everyone. The devs sometimes try to do it with the wrong content while not giving a shit about the other.

Then again, I'm sure Yoshi and his crew would love to do more but SE keeps them from it. Either by keepin the team small, budget tight or putting items that could be rewards into the e-shop. SE is killing their own moneymaker. This is something beyond the community and devs.

The fact of the matter is that you're an outlier. What does 'should be fun' even mean? Just because a developer makes content doesn't mean the content is going to be fun for even a majority. It clearly isn't with the case of the gold saucer. Just because a majority of people dislike the saucer and think their games aren't fun doesnt mean theres something 'wrong' with their brains and that you have discovered the true secret to enjoying games. Maybe you just have pitifully low standards. Maybe you're easily amused. The problem is that developers should be catering to their majority playerbase and they missed entirely with this content. The vast majority of people playing XIV wanted vanilla but they gave them chocolate, and you being a chocolate lover came in here saying "I cant believe you guys dont like chocolate like me. There must be something wrong with you! Youre killing the genre by liking something else and chocolate is the true flavor!"
