I saw something about WoW largely having to can their housing feature because of negative feedback or bugs or something. Wonder if that has anything to do with trying to spin what's nearly a second reboot of the game as a negative.

Neither to XIV players. The difference is XIV players complained and their game got fixed.
WoW players either don't complain or their devs don't listen, and they have a tranny parade in their game now... and no one is complaining about it.

That's not true at all. Raid trannies bitching for years on the official forums that their raid buffs don't align unless they use specific comps is what caused the 2 minute meta. Trick Attack wasn't even 2 minutes when it was first introduced.

>>737675728
There was literally zero possibility of Trick Attack not becoming meta and people aligning to its window of opportunity. We are in a post-Trick world and buff consolidation would make no sense if Trick hadn't paved the way, it already dominated the general meta from its introduction all the way up to EVERYBODY having a party buff and even after that it still reigned as among the best party buffs to take until Dokumori took its place

The gameplay of xiv isn't good enough to stand on its own. It's only enjoyable in the context surrounding them. No matter how good a piece of content is, it's still stuck in the context of DT.

the battle content has been good but it's also the same shit we've been doing for almost 10 years.

What LuckyBancho also doesn't say is that the largest drop off in the chart occurs immediately after the ability to private Lodestones is introduced. Their data is based on Lodestone achievements.

It doesn't matter how good or varied the battle content is, the MSQ is the foundation upon which XIV is built, and if the MSQ is bad that loses the casual audience and all people who follow the story (most players), which also gives shitposters (people who are obsessed with Yoshida and/or WoWfags) a lot of ammo in the ever evolving culture war that is modern video game discussion.

I don't think it would have taken a genius to figure out a really good debuff/party buff would dominate the meta but no nobody said he would precognitively know about the game deciding to treat Trick Attack as gospel truth for the next ten years
That being said I do think he did keep feeding into it after it had been established, especially Astrologian and Dancer
>>
>nin evolved
>mudras are ogcds again

>>737675637
Wouldn’t say it’s only his fault. It’s just how things happened overtime, between player optimization and other jobs aligning to the “meta” (remember physical move types?). But that is funny to think about Trick Attack being the initial thing.
>>
>>737676234

Trick Attack was also 60s at first. Everyone doing their 15-20 second burst once every 60s would be preferable to them doing it once every 2 minutes.

The game is a cult. It's unique among online games.

You genuinely are out of the loop. This is the same shit that happens to most of these games, and when it doesn't overtly, it's usually subtly. The devs in this case love putting effort into raids, and had a vocal raid community they were appealing to, but in the process since ShB they've been virtually ignoring most other demands to coast on hoping appealing to raiders was the right way. Then the raiders were left while the vast majority of the playerbase fucking ditched because EW had nothing for them and DT was shit, and they're now realizing that was a very, very horrible option from the start.
Games can't just appeal to the hardcore folks of a vocal minority, just like how games can't really appeal strictly to esports crowds. You're seeing this exact sort of thing start happening to a lot of live service games out there, chiefly Fortnite which is trying SO goddamn hard to suck esports competitive scene dick to the game's vast detriment on top of so many of their other retarded choices.

Endwalker just fucked all logical story progression by being so fucking early
You build a fucking spaceship and go to the edge of space to fight a bioweapon that has wiped out multiple planets. Then Dawntrail decides crafting content should be about going to even more space shit.
Only NOW will they explore all the shards of the source. Only NOW will they look into showing more countries on the source.

I mean, honestly I can see what an initial plan there was; tons of stuff was hanging on from 1.0 still even though they loosely tried to resolve elements of that throughout, and Yoshida was making XVI at the time with presumably the rumblings of the FFT remaster starting some point late EW or early DT. They wanted to break out of XIV if not outright conclude it entirely, or at least slice off all those lingering 1.0 elements and transition a new team on so they could move to greener pastures, EW was basically a last hurrah if they would ever have one so they could try to ease the game off to let newer shit take focus.

Then Square-Enix wanted ten more years of XIV because, well, it's still funding a large amount of company venture. And with all that work force spread outwards to other shit, they made a bunch of improv decisions for Dawntrail on the fly hoping to start mostly new shit only for that to collapse so horribly that they're now scrambling for resuming ideas from before EW. It's almost farcical.

I haven't subscribed since mid shadowbringers but I'm hoping this game does get better. It's honestly fun but the way rotations work seriously annoys me. It favors using bots to play your build perfectly and get high parses then it does to play the game yourself. I saw a video of a bot completing an ultimate raid and that just put me off entirely.

The strict rotation where if you miss a single global cooldown your entire DPS plummets is so irritating.

NTA, casuals are always complaining that the game is catering to raid trannies. It kind of is. Raid trannies got us the 2 minute meta. Most of the content that gets introduced are things that casuals will never touch, like Savage. At most, a casual might do EXs for the mounts, but EXs are the extreme (heh) end of what a casual will do. A casual is not doing Savage outside of maybe previous expansion Savages for old glam that they wanted to get but couldn't because they're casuals.

If your view of "casuals" involves people who do Savage, you are wrong.

The Dawntrail dungeons are some of the better dungeons though, and Kam is one of the best Alliance Raid fights ever.

Nier is better than Ivalice. Ivalice gets so much undue praise, it's crazy. Orbonne is good, but really it's the voice lines that are good. Shit is so powercrept it's insane. Even Cid doesn't kill anyone anymore. Anything outside of Orbonne isn't even worth mentioning.

Meanwhile Copied Factory and Puppet's bunker are both good raids that still kill people. Tower is a piece of shit, but Red Girl and the final boss are both still very good fights. Nier has not been topped and probably never will be. I wanted XI to top it, but Kam is the only good fight in the XI raids.

I call that sci-fi, not modern. I was mostly fine with that gear even if the early previews in PvP sets were a bit weird. My problem is with the sudden deluge of modern clothes, photo/logo t-shirts, and all sorts of blatant appeal towards scene kid and modern day fashion. Shit that doesn't fit Alexandria or Etheirys in general right now. And I say this as a fuckwit that bought the Magitek Outfit from the store. You've basically got traditional fantasy with some sci-fi influence on one side, hard sci-fi in another corner, and then people that look like trendy japanese fags coming out of the woodwork in between.
I guess it's slightly more interesting than yet another not-Japan-in-its-damn-entirety design, but still.

>These are not opposing statements sis.
The things you greentexted don't even make sense. The reason Orbonne (and all old content) is easier is due to power creep, not raidtrannies. The 2 minute meta is not the reason that even Cid lost his punch, it's because kits are better and have more potency. Meanwhile, Nier still kills people. Ivalice doesn't do that anymore, and even when it did, only Orbonne was notable, and really only for Cid.

Actually, I'll go ahead and say that Orbonne and San d'Oria are about equally as good as each other, due to Cid and Kam, and that Ivalice and Vana'diel are otherwise unremarkable, because they are, but we don't know what Windurst is like yet. And Nier, overall, still beats both of them, because only the first few bosses of Tower are bad (Red Girl and last boss are good), the rest of Nier is straight bangers.

Then I remain cautiously optimistic until more information comes out. Ishikawa saved the game before, she might be able to do it again. Hiroi has no fucking chance after ruining two expansions, or hell just basically everything he touched.

This is the retard that made a BLM jobquest about preventing an astral event that only they knew about somehow, in the fucking Ishgard expansion where they introduced the AST job. He has no regard for the existing world he's writing his stories into.
>Pandaemonium
People pointed out from the start that things didn't add up, and were maybe interested in seeing how it played out. It was a god damn abortion in the end, which was just atrociously bad and revealed that everything before it was just dumb and thoughtless. It fucking ends with the researcher who was just mind controlled by the big bad just putting the fucking Heart of Sabik in his pocket and we just leave it like that.

Most braindead is definitely SMN. RPR is also pretty braindead, but I think it's still a tier above SMN. Not sure what the most involved job is. I think a lot of them are pretty similarly involved.

No, the issue with Hiroi is that he has no regard for the setting or pre-established lore so he ends up just writing random nonsense that contradicts things as they were. He writes an entire void arc where none of the previously known major players are even mentioned at all, and tries to retread big moments from ShB all the while ignoring the major characters from it who had huge connections to the void.

I played during Wotlk. I was on a high pop server, but not the most populated, and I would say that cities had about as many people as Balmung Ul'dah, and that at night when everyone was asleep, the cities were about as populated as my XIV world is at its most populated.

LuckyBancho numbers are wrong because they're based on Lodestone achievements, but if XIV is "only" 770k, then I'd say that Wotlk was at least double that, maybe triple. I would believe 2-3m easily based on XIV's numbers. I haven't seen all of XIV's DCs though, and I don't remember how many servers WoW had at the time, nor do I know how populated they all were.

MH didn't crib DNA it is straight up a copy, gets super obvious if you play either bowgun or the bow
insect glaive didn't start as a dragoon weapon but it very much became one after world when they did the XIV crossover and behemoth and added drachen armor and gae bolg. weapon was introduced to take complete advantage of 4U on 3DS introducing a lot more verticality to maps by letting you jump and mount monsters easily and then turned into a flying weapon come world and outright added a pouncing spear dive in iceborne. rise added a really meaty spear-dive, "diving wyvern"

This is actually a piece of shit addition, because if you store the items as an "outfit", you can't save dyes to them. So if you like expensive dyes like Pure White or Jet Black, or if you have no gil, the Outfit thing is just a scam. And even if you don't care about losing dyes, the only use Outfits are is to store glams that you don't use... which begs the question why do you even have them?

yea storing a piece separately from the outfit is an OK compromise for outfit glamours not letting you store a super expensive dye. at absolute worst, you use the glamour dresser the same way you did before. it'll make most sense with artifacts like samurai's first one or gunbreaker's first one where the chestpiece makes up 90% of the outfit and is the only piece you really need to dye, so that can stay in the dresser while the rest of the outfit + its undyed original as an extra can stay in the armoire

I know that part, yeah that is really nice. But I guess it's more just how boring loot is unless you're out for glams. The relic is a testament to the fact that of how pointless it all is since you're slowly growing a proverbial death stick that's ultimately outdated and useless, providing ZERO unique benefits unless newer stat alignments actually matter now in their customization phases. Maybe the fundamental changes to game design will make those customizations actually really relevant now, but as is you do the hardest content in the game for the cred/ego, the glam or the item level and that's it. Can't make a sword or spear or staff do cool things that actually separate them from each other.

The only thought process is hold or use for your gauge depending on if you will have enough or overcap for your 2m window, that's not thought intensive at all

Anon, have you ever had a real job before? That's how all companies work. People are in a position only long enough to gain competency, then they are promoted.

To be fair by Final Fantasy standards it's accurate. White Mage is and has always been the basic bitch vanilla white bread healer that heals really good and maybe has some holy magic or killing undead, but you simply do not do much more with them except in FF1 where you can plausibly equip them with one of the ultimate melee weapons of the game and not be totally shit with it. In terms of job identity, WHM is and always will be basic bitch healer.

I don't mind that too much, FFXIV design was peak when jobs were different enough that one healer was super easy and the other had a fuckton of minmaxing you could do if you wanted actual skill expression.

Why do ffxiv players smell like shit?
>>
>>737679583
My best case scenario for (realistic) gear is essentially the following:
>Gear stays mostly the same stat wise
>Tertiary stats gets a re-balance to give them more impact on overall playstyle
>Melds now play a larger role in gearing and Relic (job) gear is turned into the same thing as relic weapons
>Relic gear is essentially just normal gear but with no tertiary stats and with an ever increasing ilvl and with much higher limits on melds along more slots for them that keep increasing as you level it up
>We get weapons with minor unique modifiers akin to "Clemency applies regen when it hits target/Holy Spirit applies DoT when it hits target", "Attacks have a chance to instantly unlock/reset your jobs signature action", "Chaotic cyclone gets a set chance to crit (double crit)", "Your next successful parry/directional applies/unlocks all actions/buffs that all other successful directional would have given and are now easier to land", etc that drops from all combat content
>Relic weapons unlock these unique effects as you keep leveling them up and eventually you will have unlocked all effects at max expansion ilvl, allowing you to pick and choose which ones you want whenever your in a town
>Each expansion gets their own modifiers and if you don't want to grind your relic you can always just get the weapons with said modifiers through drops or the new "season" reward system

This is probably the closest we will get to them messing with the gearing system again since they obviously don't want gear to be anything more than a secondary leveling system with what they have shown off so far, at most they will probably use normal gear as a "generalist" set that every encounter is balanced around while relics could be used as a way for players to express themselves but otherwise be about as useful as any other types of gear.

That is just not true though. It's true for SE, and it's in large part why they are failing, but even in the gaming industry, it's fairly easy to point to people who stay in the same position for decades.

Most companies do not to do this. But you have to pretend they ALL do, because you're invested in this argument for whatever reason. Probably some misplaced fanaticism, I dunno. And to defend it you have to make wild claims that I have never had a job, or don't know what a company is, or don't speak English or whatever the fuck.

You act as though this is as true for a five man company as it is for a conglomerate with thousands of employees, as though promotions aren't a limited quantity, as though people don't get stuck in dead-end jobs with no prospects of promotion, or that you can get promoted out of a manufacturing job because you're "competent" at assembly.

TL:DR; You're both retarded, but you went so far beyond full retard that other anon actually looks sensible by comparison.

Obviously a company where there are 5 people is not going to promote someone as soon as they become competent because there is nowhere to promote them to, and likely no one to take their place when they are promoted out. Forgive me for assuming that things this simple didn't need to be explicitly stated.

This seems to be the whole problem with XIV. So much content is basically inaccessible now, and nobody is ever going to be able to play it.

I started this game 4 years ago, and still haven't done so much of it because it's just dead. Sad.

This game does have the problem of needing to do the content when it's current or else waiting for forever to fill groups and/or getting stuck with shitters, but what can't you do? The only thing you really miss out on is being able to do Savage on content or Ultimates before they get powercrept. Everything else is still doable, you just miss out on "lore", like how zones such as Eureka and Bozja used to function when they were first released.

In theory, everything is still there. Good luck finding anyone to do Bozja or Eureka stuff without sitting in PF for hours (and having hours to just sit around waiting). Practically, it's impenetrable.

Huh? You can do Bozja and Eureka stuff just fine.

There *is* DR(normal) that you need to do before going into Zadnor iirc, and that is probably horrible to try to get a group for, but everything else should be fine. You can duo CLL and Dalriada because Echo scales based on the amount of people who are in it. And there are Discords for BA and DRS (that's how people do Forked Tower too)

A lot of teaching moments in DT would have made much more sense if Wuk had been an actual child. She could be a young, clueless, and unprepared but forced participant to the succession war because the other candidates are mega assholes or something. Instead she's a retarded womanchild.

No I replied to a post where you said (albeit to someone else) "You didn't do bojza when it was current" and "you probably started in EW"

>>737681415
So you completely misunderstood the post you were replying to and made up a problem in your head to get mad at and post about.

Bozja is not inaccessible, you can zone in and do literally everything right now. The discussion was about HOW people play it, because it's a leveling zone unlike Eureka and OC there is a crowd that plays it in a very specific way, to gain EXP for their real jobs and not to maximize other gains within the zone. The other anon (you, let's be honest here) was confused because they joined Bozja late and saw this behavior and thought that was the only way to play.
>>
>>737681414
they should have made wuk young until that part where you go into the purple dome and she's an adult when you come back.
but then we'd have to deal with the passage of time and shit and the devs don't like that that much.

Each step is varying degrees of good depending on which job the weapon is for, like all relic weapons.

>Was it another boring tomestone hand in like EW?
Hot take, but I was a fan of tomestones. EZPZ. This one is a piece of shit light grind (i.e. Roulette grind) followed by a piece of shit content grind (i.e. Roulette again) grind which enables you to spend tomestones.
>>
>>737681706
We're only seen the finished dnc and vpr weapons so far, wait until Tuesday for datamines. It alternates between grindy light farm style shit and 1500 tomestones. But you only have to do the grindy steps once. So for 2nd weapons and beyond its just 6k tomestones. Basically an inbetween of ShB and EW.
