>shield and mace tank>usopp ranged dpsThoughts on the new jobs coming to Evercold?
thankfully those aren not the jobs because that's a gay as fuck idea.
>one piss jobKEKAROOOO
It's going to be a sledgehammer using juggernaut and a crossbow user.
what's an usopp?
>slingshotyep, yoshipiss hates traditional ranged dps fantasy and just wants to move on to songstress job for the epic bard, dancer, songstress idol trio meme.
>He thinks 2 copypasted classes and 1 locked away blue mage style class will save the gameOh no no no...
>>738442512yeah, because wow only needs to be complete dogshit and xiv is getting another revival boost
>>738441739We've been over this, it's dual pistols
>>738442579which is happening as we speak
>>738442723I am a middie and I want to rape your femlala pussy
>>738442723and the tank is a sledgehammer juggernaut
>>738442723You stole that idea from me you thief pile of shit.
>>738442723crossbows*
>>738443040Nuh uh, you massive fuarking nerdI've been praying for an actual gun job since I saw the muskets in Limsa, and the Merlwyb duty fooled me into thinking it was a teaser back in the day
>>738441739>>usopp ranged dpsMeh, I'm reserving my judgment for when I see itI would kill for a Van Helsing style vampire hunter ranged DPS with a crossbow
>>738441739Tank idea is coolPiss show idea is not.I hope the phys ranged is a boomerang job instead.
I started XIV from the beginning in japanese and this game sure likes to throw big words at you.

THE FUCKING SAUCER ESCAPEDFUCKING CUNT FISH
Hey tranny janny, are you noticing yet?
>>738441739i think i probably won't play them unless all my melee jobs are completely boring
>Evolved combat discourseI'm so tired of reading the opinions of players who got dps checked by Tyrant w1.Getting at least an orange with the current job design is trivially easy. It is not difficult. If you can't easily hit the bare minimum of competence (orange), then you really can't really form a valid opinion about the current job design because you aren't playing it properly. Your opinion is colored by the fact that you are overwhelmed and can't hit baseline. It's like a gym goer saying that pull ups isn't good building muscle while simultaneously being incapable of a single rep of bodyweight pulls. You can't make a comparison when you can't hit baseline performance.I don't care for "difficulty", that shit isn't real. Once you hit baseline you can do the current rotation in your sleep. The current job design has us pressing the same buttons in the same order IRREGARDLESS of fight. The only disruption is if we can't target the boss.In evolved mode, they will give us tools to hit the buttons differently in every fight and we have the ability (and expectation) to actually move around our resources to where it suits us. I don't care of that's easier, at least I'm encouraged to think about what I'm doing and make active choices. This will keep is better.
>>738446039Yeah, at this point the game is just a gear check and if you're timing the weaves and slidecasts right to do mechanics and still keep your timing up more than anything. By all accounts, that's not changing. But people act like there's some sort of immense skill ceiling to this shit, when the majority of anyone actually doing challenging content is running addons and probably doing macros or a combo plugin in the first place. It's just angry baby gatekeeping about shit they pretend to have worth in. Evolved being more like an actual video game than an autistic MMO that frankly isn't what most people are interested in here is apparently verboden because how dare it not be three hotbars of shit reeeee.
>>738446039gonna be honest man I don't think I'm hitting oranges on 10 with bad tanks or early gear unless I crit hardbit of the same case for 12. 12-2 is 'did you get defamation' or not also. i'm happy with my purple median honestly
>>738446039I like this perspectiveI took a trip down memory lane and finally got to Shinryu Unreal, decided to run ViperThat fight has some moments where you can shift your resources around for cleave or whatever, I forgot how good Stormblood fights wereDespite being braindead, using your kit correctly on Viper feels sorta nice so if they can do interesting resource management with the others it will be more fun2m meta is strangling jobs like Reaper and Viper where your resources have to align with a very specific burst window instead of being used in ways you think are right
What Pat's opinion of evolved mode is pretty much what I feel for the most part.
This is your new tank class.
>>738446361who the fuck is patyou retards are just making up ecelebs now?
cry about it
>>738446640>he doesn't know about Zelvie
>>738446039Parses in XIV have been 60% gear, 35% killing boss exactly when your burst with pot ends, and 5% crit variance since like, SHB. Most oranges and all pink/gold are due to someone sandbagging to make the kill end at most optimal moment.t. cleared week 1.
Can you guys just grow the fuck up already?
>>738446039>In evolved mode, they will give us tools to hit the buttons differently in every fight and we have the ability (and expectation) to actually move around our resources to where it suits us. I don't care of that's easier, at least I'm encouraged to think about what I'm doing and make active choices. This will keep is better.This is what I'm hoping will come from it. I quit back in EW because (aside from lore destruction) I was just completely done with doing the same fights over and over again, in the same exact way every time. The dream for me is that they take this chance to finally make jobs more dynamic so you're actually responding to what's happening in the fight AND that they make fights more dynamic too and have bosses actually respond to what the players do or at least just make them more random so that repeats of the same boss don't play out the exact same way every time.
>>738446039But will mnk get positionals back doe?
My thoughts and prayers are going out to all my FSHbros who haven't caught this thing yet. I hope you succeed before August.
>>738446814considering they gave drg more positionals, yeah
>>738441739>>shield and mace tankHell yeah.>>usopp ranged dpsHell no.
>>738446814>>738447034Homogenization gone btwClass identity back btw
>falling for this bullshit fake leak>>737065330
>>738446814I'm expecting MNK to get more positionalsReaper to lose positionalsSAM VPR NIN idk, maybe just rear for NIN
>>738446572As much as I want rthytahtin's gunshields, dual shields that combine into a bigger shield would also be absolute kino
>>738447273As long as NIN keeps the same amount of positionals I'm happy, I'm fearing for my mudras though, if they remove mudras and don't expand them I'll be on my way to japan.
Yoshit's Law - It doesn't matter how retarded and casual you think you are. Yoshit will still find somebody even more retarded and casual to excuse taking away something (You) enjoy.
>>738447321I think Mr Prime was the guy who created Mudras in the first place, so the outlook is good.
>>738443146I'll get you, trust me.
>>738447371Didn't know that, that's really good to hear. I know the guy made the pvp jobs and NIN has no mudras there so I was afraid.
>>738447369>I'm having motion sickness because... ummm... le transparent groundHow the fuck are these people real? I won't deny there might be rare edge cases where someone genuinely got nausea because of something like that but enough people complained to warrant a change? Can't have anything cool because of faggots.
>>738446814Doubt it. It feels like DRG got more positionals but if you take into account their jump oGCD acting like True North they really only have to hit one positional every 20 seconds.
>>738447369It's the most viewed mod on the archive to restore it, no regrets for my first run. I had no troubles keeping track of shit.

But honestly, once you hit that 90-100 point, the grind kind of fucks itself something bad if you don't got a lot of stockpiled rest XP.

>>738447501if you look at the ground and spin the camera a bit you could get motion sickness and you do need to look at the ground for mechanics I guess but its still gay and lame and they removed the little swimming bit in Shisui because they were too lazy to make their trust bots hold the w key through it

>>738447924With those queues you aren't playing with real people either.
>>738447991OC doesn't really have much either. People been stuck with like ten critical engagements and a dozen fates for a year.
>>738447941>they removed the little swimming bit in Shisui because they were too lazy to make their trust bots hold the w key through itThey seriously fucking need to abandon the trust system and bring back all the little dungeon quirks they removed because of the retarded bots. I'm 100000% sure the reason new dungeons don't do interesting layouts or pathways is entirely because of the trust system. Fucking actual lobotomite slant eyed fucks prioritizing solo players in an mmo. Trusts are an actual plague upon the game, makes me insanely upset thinking of all the things they removed because of them.Shows what kind of dipshit playerbase this game has, virtually no complaints about this outside of this site.
>>738448007
>>738448117people will defend it because its just worthless flavor but thats kind of the issue a lot of people have with this game as a whole every tiny bit of flavor just gets sanded down for actual retards, I hope the evolved modes adds some flavor back but the track record is fucking dire

Since when did "being outraged 24/7" become a life goal? Some of you are trying way too hard
>>738448184I agree anon, the thing this game is missing the most is flavor. I don't care if the little pool in shisui didn't matter gameplay wise, it felt different, it gave the dungeon identity, same goes for many other removed quirks. Makes me genuinely sad rather than upset, just making things worse and boring for no reason and people clap for it.

>>738442512Wait, it had only 100k subs in arr?
>>738448332That graph is specifically based on achievement data and only for people who make it public on their lodestone page.It's a vary different number to Bancho's "active non-free-trial character count" which doesn't rely on achievement information. That number reached over 1M at the start of EW which is shown as <400k on the graph.So ARR probably had ~250k but who fucking knows, it's very unreliable
>>738448117I've been saying this since 5.3. Hell, I've been saying this since 5.1 gave cum counter aoes and hraesvalgr platforms werent destroyed by dive bombs.

>>738449009>Holy shit how did they not cringe themselves to death writing that shit?Most of dialogues through expansion are like that, scions were especially guilty of it>>738448498Not sure how to feel, would actually awesome if Square kept game going with 100k subs and expanded, and gave it so much live. Especially considering to shit liek EA killing warhamemr online with 300k subs(to be honest devs didn't knew what to do with it either, because game design couldn't support usual expansions style) and star wars going to f2p while having more than 1m
Epic taco time.
>>738449067Wuk in Japanese is basically just shonen protag default. Nice, hotblooded if having to overcome her personal issues, loud and quirky funny archetype stuff. Honestly doesn't get much beyond that since her character was so poorly developed in the first place. Compared to the English voice acting, the JP voice is exactly the kind of voice you'd expect for the character role. But after all the politics, conflict, consequence and drama up to this point, an entire expansion helmed by generic PEACE AND HAPPINESS OF MY PEOPLES shonen protag princess pissed the Japs off too.
>>738449176>Bragging about how immigrants make tacosIs this parody
>>738449176Her disgusting nails holding any food
>>738449302Everytime there was a shot of her clenching her fist I cringed imagining her claws digging into her own hand
>>738449067Writing is bad overall but then the localization made it even worse somehow. The voice being terrible ties it all together to make English wuk the worst character in the entire game.
>>738449354Now I'm remembering the fucking glove tightening fist clench everyone does in this game
>>738447991>every piece of battle content is conveniently spaced over a month apart>have to pay full sub price to experience each crumb at the only time its exciting and fresh>if you arrive late it's either impossible to do or go through the humiliation ritual of being the only one dying while everyone else sleepwalks through the scripted dance they already did a million times

>>738448270character creator update was an easy guess since Yoshi P had been bringing it up repeatedly in interviewsI doubt slingshot weapon is real though, whips got shot down due to animation + model variety and i can see it being way easier to make new whip models than slingshots
>finally watched evercold trailer>turns out warrior of light wants to destroy all worlds and cultures that developed on other shards, and force everything into single world(I'm sure there nicer words for that in game itself, but we all know what forcing worlds to unite means for other worlds)Hard pass, Miss times when xiv trailers excited me, instead of just annoy me

>>738441739Heres your actual new ranged dps
In ShB Alphinaud cries because the privileged cannibals might face consequences and suffer a little. We stop pursuing the villain to indulge him, and some of the cannibals remain as loveable comic relief. The game's politics are fucking disgusting. Japan should be wiped off the face of the earth.

>>738446764Is baldie still losing his absolute shit over it?Because that was funny.
>>738448270Don't forget the biggest thing that makes that leak bullshit, it claimed the plot for evercold and the upcoming arc would be a parasitic force that was going to destroy the source and shards, that the Winterers specifically wanted the key as a means to fight this, and most importantly that the upcoming 7.5 MSQ would support this, and every single point of that was completely and utterly disproven>>738450182Slingshot is a shit weapon idea because every animation for it is just gonna either look like something that already exists, or could exist for Bard, even jobs with similar weapons currently have lots of space to differentiate them, but bow and slingshot are just the same draw/release motion

>>738447817>Imagine being the captain of a cruise liner.You already lost me.The world isn't a cruise liner.The world is a star that was shattered in order to turn the civilization that was turning into a suicide cult and bound for self-annihiliation for the sake of ennui into one that could and would be willing to endure strife, and for ~12,000 did the person responsible for it safeguard that future to the best of her abilities, but at some point, everything came to a head. Over eons, she had weakened too much, and the people of this new world had arrived at a crossroads where they needed to decide that they could inherit stewardship of this world. If they were able to avert the calamity on their doorstep, then they would also be able to forge their own future and decide the course of history.You didn't get tossed onto a cruise liner that was deliberately sabotaged, you were given a chance to exist at all, and then guided for thousands of years before being allowed to fly the nest (take ownership of the star from the Ancients).

>>738453507You noticed too, huh? Most arguments here always come across as two BPD women getting snarky and personal with each other.
>>738448117I just don't understand how the Trusts could not be able to do any of the mechanicsYOU ARE PROGRAMMING THEM. THEY WILL LITERALLY DO ANYTHING YOU PROGRAM THEM TO. TRUSTS DO NOT USE SOME KIND OF CLAUDE AI LEARNING, THEY ARE LITERALLY JUST SCRIPTED NPCsIt's not like there are a bunch of choices and variables in any of these dungeons. They are strictly linear. There is ONE right way to do every single thing in them. How can you program the dungeons themelves, but somehow not program an NPC to act alongside them?
>>738455185I kind of feel like it might be a multi-weapon user. Your "weapon" is like a box of shit including a shield that pops up and sticks around for a few seconds when you use certain moves. And then you have shit like a chained flail, a hammer and a spring loaded shield bash.Think Gundam Hammer.Oh, and it'll be called Marshal.

>>738455719If the NPCs were running the dungeons at a set speed then the player would by necessity not be doing anything to advance the dungeon any faster. NPCs follow you and target enemies based on what you are targetting.

I'm thinking about that one gay femanon that was in love with Zero. I can only imagine the amount of disgusting trannies you have to deal with being a biological woman lesbian.
the game would be saved if they nuked Lalas. Every tranny pedophile and cringelord faggot ERPer plays Lala
>>738455828And? They advance when you advance, on a set path because there is only ONE path. There is no need at all for them to stick to the player's ass, since there is only one way for the player to go. How can they not move through water? You simply set a rail for them to move along in the water. It took more time to remodel the dungeon and remove water than it would have taken to simply assign a movement path.There is some other reason they are dumbing down dungeons, and it ain't for the Trusts.

>>738456441Good question. You'd think people would have drawn lyse doujins about the usual jap porn fetishes but no. Radio silenceThe actual game literally writes doujins by itself you just need to draw the line art.Like>Hilda Alley sex>Yotsuyu flashback>Eden Yuri mindrape>Bird rape correction But We see nothing. Why?
>>738456847Maybe it's because gpose and the various posing tools exist, so there's less of an impetus for people to want to draw it? Just speculating.
>>738456692But why didn't the area aether normalize? The source isn't getting lightning raped and to aerther rape you need a big fuck you event to cascade it

They don't say anything about how good you are, only how far you're willing to push for the funny number or how hard you get fed/crit the boss. If you want to brag about stats on FFlogs, you point at your kill times. Everything else is spot on though, fuck everyone who thinks memorizing your rotation requires any kind of skill whatsoever. It's just like with Ultimates. They're time consuming and take a lot of patience, but mechanically a toddler can do it. I do so hope that we can get some chaotic fights in Evercold that demand reactions, precision and spatial thinking.

The fact that the guy IMMEDIATELY booked it after hearing she was there and that she was essentially an amnesiac retard is a clear cut sign that he doesn't feel guilty, he's afraid she'll point him out and get him lynched for being part of why she turned out like she did.

>>738464575It would be one thing if Hien's actual reasoning was this coldhearted and Machiavellian, but in-game he justifies both choices with the claims that he's only known the pimp as a good man, and he genuinely believes retard-Yotsuyu is still fully culpable for her crimes. In the actual story Hien isn't playing realpolitik, he's making choices based off his first impressions of the individuals regardless of present context. Also the fact that Hien didn't end up executing Yotsuyu and never worried about a revolt means that it likely wasn't as real a possibility as you present.

>>738463156Just don't fucking reply to them, it's THAT simple, if they don't see engagement they're gonna stop caring, either that of they'll just end up being more miserable than what they currently are.
>>738464905>lesser>lol add a football
there's no way anyone still plays this dead kusoge, right..?
>>738464878She seems to be an Aerith reference so she's gonna get jabbed in the back by an enormous katana
>>738455595
>>738464984Its not dead, its actually on the upswing
>>738465078
>>738465078Pretty enormous upswing, Aether and Crystal are locked off now. Dynamis even has one world at standard availability instead of Preferred right now
I like seeing the sprouts :)
>Choose your animation>tfw I can roleplay a gladiator again
>>738464914I am positive that hien mentions not necessarily the risk of a rebellion, but rather worry about the perception of playing favorites with the previous doman viceroy. It is not presented as machiavellian as I made it sound but the threads for that line of thought are there. I don't really care to go dig up dialogue though so I'll shake on agree to disagree.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has the best job system of any game ever. That is all.
>>738465145That blows.
>>738465145>>738465212we have about 8 million subscribers right now. glory to square enix
>>738465291TA2 albeit, though it's a bit too streamlined to become a dual wielding Paladin-Paravir if you're playing a hume
>>738465326why does an mmo need 8 million subscribers
>>738465332Every race has at least one really broken thingLike a Gria taking Sidewinder to any of their other jobs
>>738464074You should see Captain Grim's latest videos.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghg1-NRHeIUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ZpWwByiRY
>>738458789When you get an orange parse you're comparing your parse to everyone's own BEST personal parse. With how crit dependent and team dependent that number is. How you can engineeer that number. It's actually way less meaningful than people think
Before this thread dies, I maxed out on Wolf Marks, what's the best thing to buy with them? I used to get them for company seals but I forgot how to do the exchange. Does anyone remember?
>>738465370it doesn't, i'm bullying the copers
>>738465370Dunk on WoW, regardless of WoW's insane player count claims being certifiably bullshit. WoW's highest peak ever was apparently recently in Dragonflight, so the "I'M A NIGHT ELF MOHAWK" era of advertising was most likely trying to present created character count as active player count
>>738465145I cant believe how many times I had to remind a sprout to put up his stance this week.
>>738465426>You shouldyou really shouldn't
>>738465407On the other hand you get Seeq that just suck ass the whole way around, and hold Dark Knight hostage as Lanista
>>738465494
>>738465254I think its mainly an issue if Hien having an abundance of caution due to the fact that he's just started ruling and is inexperienced, the only reason Tsuyu wasn't executed on the spot is because Gosetsu, the closest thing to actual family he has left, told him that she was a different person due to her memory loss and had already been punished for her crimes by the Kami
>>738465494so real bestie, my pc is lagging because of so many playerswhy are my dungeon queues still 20 minutes+ long?
>me begrudgingly doing the rest of ShB so I can unlock more BozjaRabbit wives, world wide, and god do I hate trying to do DR for relic parts.
>>738465235That's probably the bare minimum I'd expect. Lower level animations for abilities.
>>738465578no one likes you :)
>>738465460The copers?
>>738465524I don't remember the full details but there was some stupid shit Seeq's could do with their item effect reversalBut in general their jobs are all slow and kind of annoying to actually use
>>738465578youre an asshole ^^
what's the dps with biggest dick per second right now?
Apparently everyone quit, I visited xivg to see what's up and there's a tranny posting irl pictures of himselfGood reminder to stay away from this garbage
>>738465726Yeah outside of that gimmick Seeq are actually objectively bad, they try to go even harder on the physicality and no-magic than Bangaa and end up just being horrible as a result
>>738465578
here i was enjoying game i like getting betterthen someone told me it doesnt have a gazillion players per second and so we lost to wow, and now i actually hate the game and my life :(
>>738453307I got kicked by my FC in the two years I was away, so I just joined the first random FC that invited me, and the first thing that happened when I joined was the "owner" of the FC (prolly a tranny) making a passive aggressive snarky comment about me not replying to his question about my character's name that I didn't even see because I was fishing in the background.I think I should leave
is it worth it to get into this? the free trial looks like it has a lot of content no sub needed
>>738465902>>738465924no
>>738465924Trial's free permanently so it's not like you lose anything but trying the game
>>738465924it's a tab targetting MMO so if that's something you like the trial is incredible value yeah
>>738465924Just try it and see for yourself
>>738465924if you want to?not like you stand to losing anything from it
>>738465924we're kinda full now actually.
>>738465921>randomly invited to an fc>FC owner keeps annoying yousounds like report grounds as well as you should leave, yeah.
>>738441739>new tankLiterally all of Paladins buttons but with shield and mace>new phys ranged dpsLiterally all of machinists buttons but with more rudimentary weaponry instead of mechanical
>>738465805sassy aegis
damn smug brat...
>>738466141Frog Travolta my belovedDancing Green was amazing as a disco enjoyer
>>738465921>when I joined was the "owner" of the FC (prolly a tranny) making a passive aggressive snarky comment about me not replying to his question about my character's name that I didn't even see because I was fishing in the background.The fag still being a cunt?
>>738465494>>738465534>tfw I literally was just killed by Ultima weapon in msq roulette because nobody stacked with me>was within melee range of the boss so both tank and melee could have strolled over>we unironically wiped to MSQ roulette (anything)
>>738466235nah, hasn't said anything to me since. I haven't said anything in the FC either
>>738465924It has content, but a lot of it is gated behind parts of the story that are basically mandatory (unless you pay for a skip, which defeats the purpose of a free trial)Just so you know.
>>738466351Unless you have some attachment to another individual in the FC, I would suggest you just leave. It did take me three years to find a decent one with friendly people, but it was worth it.
>>738463251Wow has 3 mechanics for a dps>Target swap>Don't stand in bad>Interrupthonorable mention goes to >use your defensivebut that one isn't necessary most of the time.There are no mechanics other than that, so if you know how to tab target and what target you should be hitting mythic raids will feel like a leveling dungeon to a savage raider
>>738466441Bonus points that WoW class design and raid design is starting to suffer from a minute-based buff meta at the same time XIV is casting its own off
>>738466441Is it true that the recent raids kind of feel XIV-like? I've seen some murmurings that they're taking mechs from XIV and even making very similar telegraphs.
>>738466521Dunno about the most recent stuff but WoW started using floor markers and shit for mechanics a while back
>>738466630>you lived to see WoW chase its eastern competitor, which started the other way around
https://youtu.be/fDOSalBns-UXIV will never have anything soulful like this abusing class and boss design to overcome bosses you otherwise couldn't beat. Because that wouldn't fit in their rigid formulaic framework.
>>738465494I constantly forget to turn it on even after doing hundreds of dungeons. It should've been removed shortly after removing dps stance.
>>738466684Tank stance does seem to be dying, going by Paladin bundling it into Provoke as a temporary aggro-generation effect in its Evolved design
>>738463756How many of those congested servers are only congested because of idlers in Lominsa?
>>738462704Them being able to remove scales without issue has never made sense to me.
>>738447806I do trusts (cuz you get stuff for maxing trusts) and the combat dailies. I do a little pvp as well. That's what I've done since ShB. I leveled a lot of jobs via deep dungeons. When a new expansion comes out, I use one job for the MSQ, and a different job to clear all the golden side quests.
>>738466521The bosses do feel XIV-like, unfortunately it's not Savage or Ultimate-like but closer to a leveling dungeon.Bosses have 3 or 4 abilities that they cast on a pretty strict rotation. Let's take Vorasius as an example. >Suck in (don't fall off the edge, variation of don't stand in bad)>Tank circles (don't stand in bad)>summon mites/walls (need to kill mites at the wall, target swap) >big beam (use your defensives, don't stand in bad)rinse repeat. This is on mythic mind you.This isn't new, I remember playing castle nathria and bosses like shriekwing had a similarly strict rotation. It's just gotten more and more obvious lately.
>>738466672Even outside of MMOs, action RPGs that aren't busy being Soulslikes really converged on stay out of the orange circles style fight design
>>738466742Players are players tbf.I don't like idlers, but them's the rules.
>>738466742Dude that would be thousands or tens of thousands of idlers in one zone that doesn't get split into instances for population control
>>738466817The tank circle followup seems like it's kinda taking from XIV. I know outward growing AoEs aren't like the most original and creative thing, but I see them so often in XIV I can't stop myself from noticing them here.
>>738466812I didn't get into that dungeon btw. Just killed time crafting and did roulettes instead.
>>738452320Usopp stops existing as a character after Water 7
>>738466682considering he has a hard enrage built to kill anyone still alive, I reckon it's less "they designed the game to make creative use of game mechanics" and more "they're so lazy/half-baked they accidentally end up failing to fix all the gaps in the encounter, making them coincidentally exploitable."
So I just unlock savage Garuda, should I give it s try?
>>738466907They've borrowed a few things like allagan rot previously too, funnily enough a simple rot mechanic between 2-3 players was probably the biggest wall in wow raiding in a decade because wow gamers can't hand off debuffs to save their life
>>738467104XIV also has such gaps that people use to find ways to do no-healer or no-tank runs or whatever.However when it happens in XIV, the community melts down and uses it as proof that the devs are washed up or that whatever job or role was excluded in these runs are irrelevant to the game even though it takes highly specific circumvention from people who are so experienced that they can basically do those fights in a normal party setup in their sleep.
Every XIV thread is fucking cancer no matter where. I hate the playerbase too. bunch of fucking quirky chunguses I'm not expecting all of you to be normal but at least talk coherently.
All I'm hoping is that 8.0 SGE Evolved mod isn't like SCH or WHM
>>738467246ha ha hahhahhahayeah.. those incompetent wowies and their.. being unable to handle allagan roti can't either
trying my hand at modernslop. whatcha think
>>738466141disco emote fucking when?
>>738467470
>>738467143depends on what you mean. Garuda extreme is a fun fight that's not too difficult these days but still needs you to be aware of some mechanics. in that sense, it's not a bad way of experiencing harder content.The issue is that because it's a near 10 year old fight, no one's doing it. You can sometimes drum up interest for some people looking to teach new players the ropes on how to tackle harder content or people looking to do the fight as a novelty, but it can take a little time to get that group to form.
>>738467394chort
>>738467529i'm asking for input on my modern girl outfit
>>738467589try /vg/
>>738467589You have the fashion sense of a tranny unironically. Eorzeacollection. Go study.
>>738467470Looks like cancer.Which is to say you did a great job.
>>738467639interesting. was going for 'something that was thrown on to go to the grocery store'
>Blizzard summoned the messiahs of MMOs to deliver classic+ right when nevercold releasesIt's over
>>738467779who the hell are these faggots
>>738467779Kate will come in from the top rope with a twitlonger to kill them for good
>>738467779I would've given it a try if they hadn't killed Turtle WoW
>>738467542Well, it took me 2 days to get people for hydra on ARR, guess I will just take slowly
WHYYYY ARE WE FUCKING DOING THIS(you always go clockwise, why are you following?)Dude, Ahri fucking chill dude, you're kind of annoying.
>>738467876
>>738467779Holy shit xaryu is a short king, magebros...
>>738467779So let me get this straightWoWfags want the people and company who they claim are incorrigibly greedy, have the wrong mentality and ruined the current version of the game To make a new, better continuation of the classic version of the game that was made by entirely different people that will finally appeal to the players that feel alienated by the current version of the game, which is created by said aforementioned people and company you want to work on this new version?Make it make sense
>>738467326>the community*orange parse speedrunnersMost people point to that as tanks being too self-sufficient or healers having too much healing that they don't use
>>738468032There's something actually deeply pathetic going on with the few WoW drones that actually exist who look to Classic for the game's salvation, wanting a private server but also wanting Blizzard to still be in charge of it and for it to not be free
>>738467639alright, second attempt. i think the socks are a big improvement with more color coordination
>>738468032>WoWfags They are a bunch of autists that have played classic on private servers for a decade before blizzard threw them a bone (if you can call paying subscription "throwing a bone")
Dropped the game when they gave scholar that gay transformation.I'm 100% serious that's why I stopped playing.
>>738468391
>>738468391I think its fineAccomplishes what you were going for at least
>>738468425>he just realized he was playing the sissy job
>>738468436i am the one who asked, as i'm looking for input on my outfit. ritualposting doesn't bother me in the slightest and it only makes you look like a sycophant trying to get my attention
>>738467326>gapsI play healer super casuallyI come back for every expansion, play it for a week then drop it and start again a month or two before the next expansion.Every single time, even at the beginning of an expansion, its the same thing on every dungeon or 24 man raid I do.>you only need to heal with ogcdsYou can say i’m only doing casual content sure but your post implies that the average joe is so bad at the game they might have more trouble healing and no room to dps but I consider myself an average joe. Even when I try out an ex or a savage tier I only ever heal at specific parts. It is never required. I don’t expect that to change just because they incorporated yet another lily mechanic (on top of the existing one) to whms basic cures.
>>738468515I can almost forgive people thinking it came out of nowhere because Scholar's angel-wing theming comes and goes, and the job has no real identity or theming of its own since Scholar is, as ever, whatever the fuck the developers want it to be in the given game, since "I can cast Libra and my items are twice as effective" is shit job identity
>>738468520If you want to avatarfag you can do that on /vg/ with the rest.
>>738468727If he goes he needs to take the "what did you do in final fantasy" BPD demon with himThe same few Reshade screencaps on endless loop is also avatarfagging but like any good backseat janny he makes exceptions for his own posting
>>738468032
>>738468506i think its good enough yeah. i don't believe i'm actually going to use it for my usual outfit though. was an experiment
>>738468594it might not have a proper theme in other FF games but it has a pretty fleshed out background in XIV
>>738468594It's a schizophrenic job>nerd>war tactician>fairy enjoyerPick a fucking lane, faggot (literal)
>>738468932It probably has its most unique identity in XIV I'd agree, the only other game that's really done a lot with it is XI which used it as a Sage stand-in
>>738468876Saved I hate that this Type Of Guy exists
>>738467842the one on the far right is the guy that had a meltie over Sharlayan's fountain, then tried playing the game and got gaol'd a couple hours into playing
>Giant wandering beasts>Giant mech alliance raids>Trying to prevent all of reality from returning to a primordial stateWait a minute, this is the Xenogears expac isn't it. I bet this winterer will be intentionally trying to cause the solstice to become god of the new world and there's going to be something about the vagaries of free will and player agency.The main villain will be Au'ra Krelian.
>>738469030this time for sure they'll make wow progress exactly the way i want it to in my head
>>738469097>had a meltie over Sharlayan's fountainAnd then CS3 made a sidequest to specifically explain how the fountain works
>>738469097So the guy who doesn't know how fountains work is going to save MMOs or something?
>>738469205WoW glazing and complete delusion goes together like peanut butter and chocolate
>>738469241It feels a bit cultlike.Like people are just saying stuff and repeating it to each other all day long until they believe it.
>>738469351In general Blizzard has a legendary reputation for good to mediocre games developing a cult-like association and affection, genuinely I do not know how people fall under that spell
>>738469389Same as Disney, Pokemon, Nintendo and Religions. They experience it as children so now they'll defend it to the death because it's all they know.
>>738469473my goodness, i didn't know fedoraposting was still a thing
now that you guys have mentioned 'that game' anyway, I have an embarrassing confession to postI'm a former WoW player, and anything extreme level above is too difficult for me.I never had any issues with normal and heroic raids (never tried mythic so can't judge that. just wasn't gonna commit to the crazy gear grinding for it), but in xiv, idk my brain just can't solve the puzzles.
>>738441739PLD in ffxi can use clubs/maces
>>738469473Blizzard fans are actually the Disney adults of gaming.Final Fantasy has a little of that, too. But maybe it has a little too much infighting between specific FF fags to really go all the way with it.
>>738469516MMOs would be dead in the water if not for an enormous population of casual players or people who mostly use it as a virtual chatroomVideo games are still toys at the end of the day and people getting pissed you're not playing with toys correctly are very strange people
>>738469516Its okay most Savage raiders are too retarded for Savage too
>>738453623would simp ngl
>>738468887not bad, but I'm not a big fan of the white / green combo
>>738469570FF also has Disney adults like Barry who spray shit over everything and make everybody really embarrassed to even participate in that kind of debate or "debate"I actually sort of like having a rent lowering gunshot in the form of somebody so violently insane that they keep most others grounded
>>738469573it bugs me cause i wanna engage with more challenging stuff but my brain is not hardwired for all of the mechanics>>738469587yeah but if I can't do the mechanics myself it isn't worth anything
>>738469661You're probably the exact target audience for Advanced difficulty
>>738469636big poofy/baggy vest or hoodie or anything like that + pleated skirt feels so tranny core
>>738469516>crazy gear grinding for itUnless you're in the top 10 guild, gear is never the problem in mythic, it's execution.
>>738469712is advanced below EX then? i have no problems with dd bosses and most critical encounters, but the moment it has some sort of intricate memory game or puzzle, my brain goes adios on me
>>738469735hate tranniesluv me hoodiesimple as
>>738469828Advanced is supposed to be above normal but below an EX trial yes
>>738469516Unironically just try, your first ex/savage will always be the hardest you've done. Once you start seeing the design patterns you get a lot better very fast.
>>738469389Final Fantasy stopped being worth shit 20 years ago yet here you are
>>738469993Meanwhile anything Blizzard made that was good was stolen valor from Blizzard North.
>>738469735problem is that there are very, very few shoe options that have socks. the scholar af bottoms have good ZR but that was a little too boisterous>>738469636i went with green because of eye color. think this looks better?i also looked into ribbons but we don't have a lot of good options for ribbons
>>738469860maybe that's a good idea then. it's not necessarily the raw difficulty of something, just the style of it. like criterion bosses feel full on puzzle to me>>738469924i could always join a group and "follow the leader" as it were, but then i don't feel like i accomplished anything. it was that way with zodiark and the dorito stuff
>>738470050Sure. What I'm trying to say is that it's kinda jarring and tonedeaf to read these comments in a Final Fantasy thread
>>738470084FF isn't totally hopeless like Blizzard is.
>>738470103Yeah, that's what a cultist would say.
>>738470084I don't think a lot of people invoke "it's gna be gud cuz its ff/square" nowadays.Maybe the FF7 fags who think remake/rebirth/rewhatever will be good no matter what, but overall there's no real cultlike "IT'S SQUARE CMON YOU GOTTA BUY IT" mentality from what I've seen.
>>738470149
>>738470191How was Occult crescent and the 2 dye channel?
>>738470168I'd say Remake/Rebirth pissed off a lot of FF7 adherents because it wasn't a no-touch remake. There WAS a cult there but time and the attempts at milking it being mediocre destroyed it in the long run, with a coup-de-grace of the creative heads for the original being incredibly uninterested in releasing the same game over and over.
I hope EC is good
Diablo 4 is the perfect example of something that shouldn't sell well but did simply because it's Blizzard.>They'll do good by us this time, they promised!>It's gonna be so good. It's... Diablo!!>They're not like they were during Diablo 3 anymore! They've changed!And then it came out, and like anyone with open eyes could tell, it turned out a half-baked overmonetized piece of garbage.And the cycle began again for the expansion.>They'll do better this time!>They'll fix it, they said so!>It's gonna be so good now!Rinse and repeat for any Blizzard game.
>>738470331You're coping in the same way with EC. You're also live service catlte, who won't let go of his sunk cost, at least stop pretending that you're better
>>738470314EC is shaping up to be the best expac ever, unironically
>>738470226NTA but how is 2nd dye channel bad?You may argue it's not all you had hoped it would be, but its existence (and continued existence into the future) is still a net positive compared to before DT?
>>738470401It's half-assed, like most of what SE does now
>>738470401I sort-of expected it to turn out the way it did since a hella lot of gear's first dye channel is already set up to cover as much of the gear as possible since there, you know, was only one dye channel
>>738470381>You're coping in the same way with EC.They legitimately showed a lot of things that are different from previous expansions and actually gave NA FanFest something somewhat substantial. A reason to be interested. They actually tried to do something to pique players' interest and acted like they needed to win people's faith back.At this point, I really feel this has been reduced to "no u" because you're defending your favorite company.
>>738470071
>>738470476Yeah, they showed a lot of things. Island sanctuary, Occult crescent, Fuarked tower, they all ended up being implemented in the most retarded and half-assed wayYou're coping and it's ok to cope, at least be a man and admit to it
>>738470071>>738470481Sex with both of these characters
