I started doing that during endwalker. Beat the game, waited for the next patch, re-subed, it was shit. Then only went back during the free-login campaigns and even with 4 free days it took half a day to do all the new content, then you had to run weekly savages or do nothing that had actual value for character progression. I think they went to hard went appealing to glamourfags because outside of savages or relic weapons everything is just gear for glams

Yoshi says you just don't understand Wuk Lamat, that she's actuallly a "great and complicated" character, and he plans to force her even MORE going forward:

https://checkpointgaming.net/features/2024/10/chatting-with-the-iconic-naoki-yoshida-on-the-design-and-reception-of-dawntrail/

>"The other factor was Wuk Lamat. She’s a very complex character, and she even has a bit of a complex about herself. Unfortunately, we didn’t delve very far into the background of why she had those feelings, so it appeared as if she left a negative impression. We accept that feedback. I feel a little sorry that we weren’t able to properly depict her. We may have been able to make her more straightforward, so we’re pushing her in the forefront as this character. But again, we’re going to be reflecting that learning into [content patch 7.1] and onward, we’re hoping that we can show more of what makes Wuk Lamat so great, and I’m hoping that we can regain from there."

It's actually fucking over unironically

>I think they went to hard went appealing to glamourfags because outside of savages or relic weapons everything is just gear for glams
I feel like the problem is that even the relic and savage weapons and gear aren't really that valuable besides for glams. You go through savage or to the trouble of getting your relic, and what do you get? Slightly higher numbers that you can't really use for anything besides the content you've already done.
Every weapon and piece of armour is a stat sheet and the only difference is that the numbers are slightly bigger and they look different. No horizontal progression, no sidegrades, no interesting abilities, because all the content is built around jobs playing exactly the same once they hit cap.

Dawntrail was so shit that even glamourers are starving.

You didn't even get a single piece not one single piece of glam gear from the msq.

Island Sanctuary was ultimately a failed experiment. Spreadsheet farming sim where a discord bot can do the calculations and tell you what to build for max profit.

Variants were ok casual content, but letting you solo it from the get go means there was immediately no community interaction. Meanwhile, the Criterion version was too hard for anyone not already well established in the savage raiding scene and then there wasn't much reward for doing it.

Eureka Ortho is objectively the worst deep dungeon, and even the hardcore deep dungeon streamers still mainly stick to PotD and HoH and only occasionally run EO.

I don’t have a real answer, just a thought, but I think parts of it is a culture clash. Western games are usually much more free-form than Japanese contemporaries in the same genre, so Japanese players may prefer systems that are more “go into this and so this thing to get the reward”, as compared to a western player who might have a more sandboxy mindset to MMOs/RPGs in general, and as such when we get spreadsheet shit it just feels like busywork and not a fun activity.

Endwalker is unironically the end. While there might have been some problems with the narrative and some very stupid writing it overall stuck to landing, after that, starting with those loathsome patches, it all fell off a fucking cliff. I honestly feel bad for the loyal fans who stuck around for a decade only to have the world they loved, that was built very carefully over the years, have the rug pulled out from beneath them, and now the game is actively pissing in their face. It's astonishing how ALL the goodwill that Endwalker generated has evaporated since then.

I'm not even gonna lie, the best way to keep sanity is by cheating. The official Dalamud plugin "ZodiacBuddy" helps skip some clicking. For example, during the books part, clicking on the dungeon will open it up in the DF list. Or clicking a mob will teleport you to the nearest aetheryte and mark on your map.
Then I mentioned using Sonar. First of all, what I'd do is mark every book related Fate with "Instance" in the Jurisdiction to help organize, and when it was time for the 3 fates, I'd flip it to "Data Center" and turn on Sound/Chat alert. If someone was running Sonar and they're in the zone it'll alert you if it's up, plus you can monitor which ones were recently done.
Then when it comes to farming the Garuda EX and other fights, there's a thing you can use called "CombatReborn' to automate your actions. I used a paid bot to do the queueing too, maybe there's a way to do it for free.

Wuk is Yoshida's OC.
> This time, it's about helping the race to the throne, so the protagonist is not the protagonist but rather an observer, so if it's not a story about helping an attractive character take the throne, players will think, "I don't care about this guy." I started by solidifying the structure of the character Ukramat, thinking about how to write him in an attractive way, and then, with the many voices calling for the implementation of a female Hrothgar, I decided to keep my promise.

Square Enix's inability to capitalize on the Shadowlands disaster for World of Warcraft, while letting Yoshi-P work on XVI instead of properly over-seeing the post launch stuff of Endwalker and Dawntrail's production.
They had all the shit they needed to solidify their claim as the King of MMOs in the Western Market at least.
World of Warcraft having it's 2nd expansion with a massive content drought.
Blizzard staff walking out do to rape drama, refusing to make content.
Covid's vidya game boom still going strong at the time.
Shadowbringers word of mouth and people telling them to experience the end of the best MMO story offered with Endwalker soon coming out.

They just fumbled it and once the most popular World of Warcraft streamers stopped playing the game and switched to just doing variety, or went back to Classic cause Square was no longer paying them to stream it. Interest fell off hard.

>>692996225
You call it a hit piece, I call it a shifting public sentiment. A lot of my long-time player friends are just raidlogging at this point, there isn't much to keep them playing besides whatever they're currently progging. We're all looking forward to chaotic raids and the new field operation, but until then there isn't much going on right now.
In my opinion, they should stop creating so many fucking cash shop mounts for 5 minutes and add some for things you can grind out. Achievement points are severely underutilized for example; adding some cool mount for high achievement point thresholds like 25,000 or higher would incentivize people to go to whatever random achievements they never would've bothered with before.

Yoshida’s extreme aversion towards implementing new evergreen systems/content, and instead just insisting on creating lukewarm minigames every expansion with hardly any iteration is starting to make the game feel more and more like a live-service mobile thingy and less like an adventure game you’d want to lose yourself in for a long time.

The entire premise of this MMO war is retardation distilled down to its purest form
Most people still playing WoW, no matter how bad the game gets, will not stop playing WoW. If the game hit end of service tomorrow then they'd probably stick a gun barrel in their mouths.
The number of people still playing WoW but are willing to jump to a different MMO is infinitesimal. Probably less than a thousand. Anyone who could leave has already left.
And XIV players aren't going to jump ship to WoW either. Not only is WoW the most new player unfriendly game in fucking existence, they just aren't the same game. XIV tries to contain the grinding to shit like Eureka, relic weapons, and so forth whereas the the foundation of WoW IS the grind. XIV is also far, far lighter on daily/weekly/monthly lockouts. So anyone going to WoW thinking it will be XIV but western fantasy is in for a rude fucking awakening.

The unironically planned for her to the be the next main character (replacing us) for the next 10 year story arc. They probably had tons of merchandise (like figures, artwork, tshirts, etc.) of Wuk Lamat already made, they may have even planned spinoff stories and games revolving around her (anime, books, etc.). Basically the same kind of multi-media shit they did with FF15, just immediately assuming this would already be a super-popular character and had tons of merch and spin off media to sell and make money off of her and they need to justify that investment by continuing to push her and try to redeem her character.

It's fun to dunk on wow (especially after the recent $80 mount shit) too but compared to the lethargic XIV content cycle they're fucking swimming in content and they have an actual schedule and roadmap they stick to.

Yeah, even ignoring the whole roadmap for retail wow. Their sub gives them multiple versions of the game to play. So even during downtime on your preferred main game, be it classic, SoD, Cata Classic or retail. You can just load up the other client and kill time doing content there while waiting for new content on your main game.

In everything but presentation (and that is arguable, the graphical update fucked quite a few things up) the game is in a worse state it was 2 years ago.

I'm glad the JPs hate Wuk, because they'll have to do actual change because this game mainly services Japan. NA doesn't require any tending because they're all too busy modding and gooning, unless Yoshi P abandons JP for the NA paypigs. But then the game truly won't be worth playing anymore. Webm related is how NA "plays" the game while JP actually plays gameplay content.

It should be obvious by now that FFXIV is full of LGBTQIA+ people, and their allies, and it wouldn't surprise me if they spend a lot of money on the game. Sena Bryer was an offering to them, since they're an important community within FFXIV. But it's a shame, both for the game and for the troons, that Yoshida gave them such a shitty character and VA to represent them. Not to mention a rather shitty expansion. If you wanted to be cynical, Yoshida purposefully sabotaged FFXIV's outreach for that community. A monkey paw, so that he could at least say he tried. Though it could have simply been incompetence on the part of Kate for choosing Sena and Hiroi's terrible writing.

Still, Yoshida gives a professional answer. All complaints should be directed to him. He is the Director and Producer of FF14 and, ultimately, he'd have to have approved all the big decisions about the game. He deserves the praise or the criticism for how Dawntrail would have turned out and he's the one in the best position to change things.

I'm sure he also doesn't want FFXIV's reputation to be tarnished by fans harassing Sena in case she 41 percents herself, but that's also gonna be on him. Yoshida couldn't have approved a more obnoxious and retarded social media grifter as the VA for the lead character of 7.0, which either tells me he did it on purpose or things have just gotten that messy inside the FF14 team.

They have to introduce three things.
1. An Anti-cheat to get rid of all the scripters and hackers ruining PvP and High-End content as well as botting scum. (Marketplace undercutting bots are fucking terrible and need to be dealt with.)
2. Stop focusing so much on the fucking story if they're not going to bother hiring half-way competent writers anymore and start making an actual game that has interesting and enjoyable mechanics and not this 2 minute meta bullshit.
3. Yoshi-P gets the boot. Get him the fuck outta here. He admitted he doesn't give a single fuck about the game. It doesn't make sense to keep him around. The game will die in his hands and he couldn't care less.

None of this will happen. XIV is fucked.

Like a 180 done overnight. The most ardent defenders of the game will argue that the majority of the playerbase doesn't play for the story, PvE content, or anything at all and are just paying a monthly tithe to SE.

Basically what happened was all the ERP faggots who were still playing Second Life found out how moddable XIV was and so they abandoned that to come to XIV and infested the game with all their stupid nightclub bullshit.
It exploded during the WoW exodus from Shadowlands because that's how the word got out.

Yeah I remember. Really fucking blows honestly. They were always very lazy with the game, but now the part is pretty much over. I'm not holding my fucking breath anymore. I haven't subbed since launch and after finishing the MSQ I felt the need to uninstall and I haven't bothered with it since. I feel bad to leave behind my friends who are regulars but the game is just not worth it anymore. My sub would be wasted and I don't feel like pretending the game has anything to offer me anymore.

This. The post-endwalker patches were a little lower than "ok" but I did appreciate the pandaemonium raids and the twelve because they sort of tied into our current situation and world.

There's this FC that only recruits real women. You have to post a picture of you with a time stamp and everything to get in.
Wanna know why? I mean, do I have to tell you?
So anyway, they get absolutely fucking livid at the fact that they can't get into the women only FC and they've tried over and over to get GMs to ban the advertisement on party finder off the game permanently for "hate speech".
They've actually managed to get the post taken down many times, which pisses the real women off and they get their own GMs to make the other tranny friendly ones fuck off.
It's a whole drama war thing that's been going on for a long time. Occasionally during EW's final patches you'd see them passive aggressively advertising their own shit and a few other parties in their descriptions throw shade at the other.
Trannies are notorious women haters, even more than Incels if you could believe it. If they're still around, it's ONLY because they have GMs on their side protecting them.
Otherwise they'd be fucking GONE.
Women are the most protected class in any community. Do you honestly think they WOULDN'T get away with banning other players if those faggots didn't have their own little clique?

Like, shit man.

The critical misunderstanding is that it's not about complexity, it's screen time. FF14 is an ensemble cast game that will give SOME favor to certain characters per expansion to develop their relationships with the people around them.

Wuk does the opposite of that, she undevelops the people around her, ruining the ensemble nature of FF14 and turning everyone else into furniture to be used.

A wow vs xiv thread went to complete shit yesterday and it was mostly wowfags getting BTFO. Eventually it turned to just posting crying s o y jaks with Square Enix/Blizzard/WoW/FFXIV logos on their hats and shirts.
And the janny only deleted the ones making fun of Blizzard/WoW.
I thought that was pretty funny.

How self-important are you? The GMs are actual trannies themselves. Do you even play the game? Have you ever dealt with one? No, of course not. If I told you a sandwich has two slices of bread you would ask me for proof of that, too. Just kill yourself.

>but during it's peak popularity back in 2021 and people were asking what the game had to offer. Clubs were pushed as the "peak content" for the game
Yeah I remember literally every streamer who came over to the game during the WoW exodus were immediately (around the time they'd finish ARR typically) introduced to Night Clubs. Not actualy GAMEPLAY content. Not actual MMO content. But fucking degenerate night clubs. THIS was what the FFXIV community wanted to push to the forefront as representative of what the game is about, to millions of people watching these streams. That alone was a massive redflag but nobody understood back then.

Now thanks to them, the Second Life community discovered this game, realized it's a significantly better version of their game with better graphics, artstyle, and modding potential, and invaded and now they're a large proportion of the playerbase and won't fucking leave
>>
I always hear the funniest, most out there stories. If /v/ is to be believed, you can't walk anywhere without seeing modbeasts that will try to groom you (but they never mention you can't even see modbeasts by default). Everyone is evil and out there to get you reported and banned, yet I've not had a singular issue talking to people in dungeons, raids or frontlines. Nobody plays the game, but then most people know exactly what to do in roulettes and the times I get an outright awful group (or even a single awful member) are rare.

The reality is that I feel sorry for you. It must be hard to live in such constant fear of your own shadow, in defiance of reality.

Don't interrupt WoWies when they're spinning cope tales. They have to imagine that everything in XIV is evil groomers and that socialization that isn't spamming of slurs because you took the slightly shorter m+ route is an attempt to endanger you somehow, because their own community has fallen apart. Hence the widespread and pathological demonization of the nightclub shit even though literally nobody is forced to partake in it.

Don't know, I have been playing since ARR and I didn't even buy dawntrail. Nothing about this expansion looks interesting in any way, the graphics update wasn't nearly good enough to pull me in, the multiple dye shit also wasn't that great from what I heard. It's probably going down as the WoD of ff14.
>>
>>693016187
FFXIV had a bad expansion.
WoW had 3 in a row and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Really not sure why they keep chimping at XIV when the past 10 years has been their equivalent of Dawntrail or worse for their game.

As a male midlander I've never had to deal with unsolicited advances. It's great. When I used to play on my Miqo'te at first though holy shit I couldn't walk past a city without some sort of catcall or offer to engage in roleplay. It was fucking gross, but I guess that's what I get for entertaining the idea of playing as a female when I'm a guy.
I bet the biggest faggots among you love the attention, though. That's why you do it.

>>693016473
As a female Highlander I've also gotten 0 advances. The most I got was "nice glam" once. Proving that my love for Highlander women is apparently rarer than I imagined.

Female Highlanders have a more dominant aura about them that the Miqo or Au'ra don't. The latter both come off as more submissive and approachable.
That's why. But then again the most aggressive deviants I've ever met were ALWAYS fem'ras. They're pretty depraved from what I've gathered.

The funnier thing to me is the fact that they seethe and melt down about mods and Limsa all the time when Goldshire and Darknest both exist and have for years. Also this sudden crusade of hatred about any socialization that extends beyond calling each other retards in voice chat for fucking up a mechanic, and it's started to come across as a bit sour grapesy. As in "if my game can't do it, then I'm going to scream so hard until I convince people that that thing is actually bad so my game not being able to do it is a good thing." I've no love for the nightclub and adjacent shit myself and I have gone to approximately none of those "parties. But also I'm a bit more withdrawn than I used to be. Feel like my time to "make friends" and chat a lot inside of games has sort of passed, so I usually just exchange a few small words in dungeons or raids or wherever, maybe have a chat, but I don't try and make long term friends anymore via it.

I dunno if this counts as cheating, but my favorite plugin to use is PlayerTags, with the job abbreviation in the name tag (this lets all status icons work), and each role is color coded.
Tank: Blue, Healer: Green, Melee: Red, Ranged: Orange, Caster: Pink, Crafter: Purple, Gatherer: Yellow.
I guess it is cheating cause it works in PvP also, which is nice to see color coding in Frontlines (hint: SCH should target Caster or Ranged for applying DoT to spread)

Content? What content? Instead of doing those boring one-and-done activities that take only 2 hours at best, you can do the same dungeons from the current expansion (or an expansion from years ago) with 0 mechanics on repeat for your weekly vault, where your friend might get a BIS item after his first reset while you haven't had anything useful in 3 months. And we WoW players like that. WoW is the #1 MMO for a reason and that's because it gives us worthwhile goals to pursue.

I'd just suggest taking a break until at least 7.2, maybe 7.25 if you feel that strongly about it.

Yuck, no thank you! Wowie zowies will never understand that we play FFXIV because we get to play other games instead.

I suppose what made older MMOs special was that it was a method to do mass socialization and gaming together, something that not many games did. Multiplayer games then were basically arena or coop focus in smaller scale.
But now it's moot where social media took over everything, and every game with multiplayer has a social component anyway.
For me, the reason I've played FF14 hasn't changed since I started in 1.0, I just want grow and make my character bit by bit. I like to get all the relics, complete collectable stuff like Triple Triad cards, Orchestrion Rolls, all minions, stuff like that.

they just need to give people something to grind for, even if it is nothing.
for example, make the current tome cap to be locked by job. that way the sickos can grind to 2000 tomes on 20 diferent jobs. 20x the amount to grind if you want to have you busy

That sounds awful. I really wanna be doing a boring dungeon I did 10 years ago again to earn my weekly lotter- I mean vault slot. I think that's a valuable use of my time. Thankfully, Blizzard is so generous to instate a RNG system so that I'm sure I can't have BIS gear in any reliable amount of time because then I'd run out of content. We in WoW like doing the same menial task over and over again, and that's why WoW is #1.

Personally I find the itemization in XIV extremely dull, it's pure numbers that can only be felt by measuring then in an equation. There aren't alternative abilities, weapon perks, etc, so all itemization is for me is purely cosmetic. I was basically playing for two things: The story (And performance thereof, IE: Set dressing and music), and a bit of hanging out with some old friends.

DT has robbed me of the story, so basically all I have left tying me down is a tenuous connection to other people, and DT going out of its way to actively be revolting isn't worth it. I'm so fucking tired.

But I said I LIKE doing the same thing over and over again for the privilege of a chance to get actually worthwhile gear. I think you misunderstood me. I don't want any actual new content or a goal I can achieve in a set amount of time. I just wanna do the same dungeons over again for months for possibly no gain. And I don't want them to have any mechanics beyond high hitting AoE pulses that can only be mitigated with gear, because actually doing mechanics is gay "stand and let thing resolve" cringe. We don't do that in WoW, and that's why it's the #1 MMO with 15 million subs beloved by everyone.

It's actually a painfully trivial afair to change another person's character and their gear. It's actually not impossible that what you're saying is true.

WoW hasn't stacked anything but pure garbage in 15 years

I love how there's somehow always someone new there to perceive and comment and feign shock at weeks to months old interviews that get posted here every XIV thread ad nauseam. XIV must have a lot of active players.

Unfortunately for your cope you can see the mare window loading that fag's character

Nothing I can give, really. IT at your level is mostly intuitive. Memorize the bullshit you need to memorize then forget about it after you get the cert. You won't see any true knowledge checks until you try to get into higher positions 5-10 years down the line. But as a tier 1 help desk monkey or similar your job is to fiddle with shit. Fuck around with it until it works. Your life is a guessing game but they'll think you're a wizard because technology scares them.

But for the love of god, don't take a call center job.

they are going to give her the screen time they always had planed to give her, that is too late for them to change.

>>693019832
Who do I ask? The creators of the mare thing?

The person? I don’t know much about mare other than the basics, pretty sure each person has their own code
>>
>>693019850
Oh, the bunny boy
Yeah, that's probably a tranny. I thought I was responding to the male highlander webm.
>>
>>693019963
so you need to download a mod and then ask people for a code to see their modded character???
>>
>>693019876
Sounds like I'm on the right path then. And yeah, the cert process feels like a kind of winnowing of retards and a "We can verify you do not eat paint". I like the fiddling with shit and honestly get a bit 'white whale' with a tech problem if I can reasonably solve it (and if it's not my own PC then I won't have the existential fear of "oh god what if I have to reformat"). Call center work does feel like a level of agony that is unimaginable. I am fine doing tech help for someone I am physically there fore, but trying to explain it over the phone would make me want to shoot myself. So would Wuk - although I'd just hold her head to mine so the bullet shoots us both.

Thenks.

If we get Wuk Lamat working. 'Cause she's a funnier character than we've ever had in the games...
>>
>>693020129
but then it forces me to download something not part of the game and talk to people and ask for their special code before i can see their big titty chars?

Man, I consider myself a degenerate and frequent /d/, but what the fuck about this is supposed to be appealing?

The sad part is I know how this scene is gonna fucking go down already
>Solution 9 citizens are sad Sphene is gone
>Holding a mourning ceremony
>Wuk comes in, says some words about how you have to look forward
>Don't forget the ones you love, yada yada
>Mentions Gulool Ja Ja to try and relate (Does not relate to scenario)
>Everyone ignores the fact that she was one of the major players in killing Sphene
>"Now lets go get some Tacos!"
>Tranny lovers shout about how Wuk is perfect in every way and the next 20 expansions should focus around her
>Tranny haters shout about trannies, giving the lovers the means to ignore all other criticism
>Actual criticisms get left at the wayside and ignored by anyone who could actually make a difference
>>
>>693020270
Yeah something like that you want to go into that rabbithole of degeneracy you're best off going to /xivg/ it's all they do is goon over other men wanking over their character being blacked or some other weird shit.
I would recommend against it but you do you.
>>
>>693020317
the absurdity i think
at some point it stops being about sexual appeal and just chasing increasing amounts of out there shit for the sake of it being out there
there's a lot of fetishes like that
gigantism fetishism, vore, crushing, most things size play related, growth, inflation
degenerates are going to be degenerates
>>
>>693020469
nah was just trying to get it again since people act like this is what you walk into if you boot up the game
but this is more the equivalent of taking your car to a degenerate bisexual hedonist party, forcefully barging through the door and then screaming bloody murder about all the degeneracy you're being forced to look at
>>
>>693020317
It's a drug that you don't stop on.
>I like big tits
>Why not bigger
>Why not BIGGER
>WHY NOT BIGGER
ect.

You have to have some level of self control, otherwise you go off the deep end. I am not a prude, I do pretty depraved and unbelievably filthy things, but I have a limit I am willing to draw. Others do not.

The NSO playtest thing might be a technical prototype to a Xenoblade MMORPG, maybe X2 or a entirely new game.
>>
>>693020954
the playtest got leaked and its just nintendos version of roblox.

Nintendo wasn't satisfied pushing tranny bs via splatoon in game messages so now they are doing so like how roblox preys on children. We are all truly lost.

>>693015774
You have no idea what makes an MMO. Stick to your single player action adventure, final fantasy XIV
