>>1266702That OP is spooky
>>1266708It's Nice isn't it?
db got me banned for 20 days
>>1266711I can dig spooky silly stuff like that
>>1266712shhhhh there's none of that here sister. We heal.
Kyoppi beat his ex
>>1266712>>1266714Gonna kms
So what are people doing ingame?
>>1266717I'm doing roulettes to finish the relics before dawn trail. how about you
>>1266702NICE one khloester
>>1266718My late ass is catching up on EW storyline. Hopefully I can finish it all before DT hits
Wow I sure hope a rascal doesn't post cat gore in this thread
/meanxivg/ here
>no meet upsLETS GO
I am actually contemplating suicide I don't know if I make it without xiv
>>1266725is it your first long ban?
threads were better before meetups and i regret ever suggesting them
>>1266729We needed a fresh start. no more meet ups
>>1266727First one was 10 days and I almost did it
Finally got my nice/xivg/ invite were so back.>>1266717MSQ patch quests to catch up
>>1266738who cares where the idea comes from if it's reasonable?
>>1266729Male-only meetups are all we can have on nice/xivg/.
I honestly find forays enjoyable and hope DT's is very Nice.
>>1266741This but unironically.
They killed off ps3 support right I don't keep up with those.
>>1266738I'll take a slow /vm/ thread over an avatarfag drama infested thread >>1266742Forays are the perfect group activity for me and I'm really excited to see what they will do with DT and that I'll be able to get my friends to do a foray again
>>1266750Dalradia was dope and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
>>1266750Yeah. I been enjoying Bosnia quite a bit, though farming DRn sometimes is annoying for the relic step
>>1266756they should just change the amount now, they already did you USE to have to do it 15 times per wep.
Should just be changed to one drn clear per weapon now, tedious just to even get a party.
>>1266752If you don't make it obvious who you are and aren't posting animal gore I'll respond to you the same way I respond to everyone else.
>>1266769what did they exactly get you for?
>>1266773They don't tell you
This is Nice™
>>1266755For me it's that small but fun part where you split up to save prisoners in castrum
>>1266778I remember all the groups failing at lyon even the "premades" kek
>dps in need>14 minute queue
>>1266757Yeah. I just need to catch a DRn party whenever they are up in PF
>>1266769go away this is nice xivg, we don't post racism here
A bit of a random question but I don't suppose anyone would have any recommendations or ideas on how to pull off a Pramanix glamour?
rore
>>1266817I don't, but let me know if you find out so I can breed you.
>>1266925I found ear and tail mods for miqo to get the snow leopard aesthetic. Guess I'll need to mess around with comfy clothing to get a closer look
>>1266702Go back to your containment board you shit-eating faggot
>>1266951Be nice, our little tsundere~
>they think this is the real nice/xivg/ all according to plan
>>1266702what happened to the /vg/ general?
>>1266817try looking at caster robes that have thigh windows I think one of the nier ones does and another dungeon drop but no other idea beyond there>>1267381still exists
Posting in the nice xivg
>>1267518sending you back to mean/eftg/
>>1267527Wtf I hate tarkov now they ruined my pay to win exclusive upgrade by adding an even more pay to win upgrade and removed the exclusivity from mine.I'm on nikg instead now
Post nice femras
I found this nice thread today.But whats the purpose exactly? Trying to avoid drama? Its not as if you can stop those who cause drama from following.
This doesn't seem very nice desu
What's the point of having another xiv general when it's going to be filled with the same posters posting the same garbage spam that the old one is. Mods need to nip this in the bud and corral you back into your faggot torture chamber and if you don't like it go "goon with your sissies" on discord or something
>>1268068there's multiple other generals from vg here stop melting bitch
Confess.
>>1268890I'm a bit lonely but I'm ok with it
I'm a new player, in Shadowbringers now, I'm curious, what was the reaction to the Thancred-Minfilia thing when this came out?I know a bunch of females and woke trannies play this game and this seems hugely problematic. Intentionally weird tension, huge age gap, fatherly yet romantic subtext, totally dependent on an older male figure, the idea that she "needs to be more" for him. One would think this triggered all sorts of female alarm bells and caused a category 5 freak out. There's no way they let this slide right?
>>1268890go back to mabi general endelyon
67th for sunsluts
>>1277672hey...
Hello, new player here, just finished downloading. What should I know? Are there mods that I should install?
>>1282732Just choose whatever race, gender, and job that appeals to you more and clear quests, anon. It's one long ride and you want to be comfortable doing it.You won't need addons.
>>1282918Thanks
Is the Chaos/Omega FC active? Looking for one currently
n i c e
>>1277672
go back to /vg/
>>1294730My wife
Why the fuck is this even here go back to your containment board>>>/vg/
Nice
>>1268890My character on cloudtest02 was cooler than my main. I remade the character on dynamis, but I fucking hate 90% of the MSQ and I don't want to do it again. Maybe I'll stop being too stubborn and cheap to buy a story skip once Dawntrail comes out.
>you can load up xiv and play to your heart's content but it will never be the same as those nights in 2013 when you'd drink beers and play ARR duties for the first time
>>1294730>>1294760>>1297465>>1297568These posts are neither nice nor comfy.
>>1294760>>1297568nah
im playing bard in dawntrail and you cant stop me!
Just found this thread and this is very funny
>>1300819nooooooooooooooooo
>>1300156It's just a schizo, ignore him.
>>1266702I'm playing a ninja for now, but I don't know what other job is cool. Do we have a job tier list itt?
Posting here again because it feels like vg went to shit quality.What is the rarest realistic to get title out there?
>>1320481Any of the dueling titles.
It happened again>>1321013Thank you. I should try to get them as I am nearing the end to Bozja. I have heard of sleep tricks to parmesan the fights up real bad
Is it possible to play this as F2P? I don't want to spend money buying the game or on a monthly fee. Is it possible to play this game as a free player?
>>1324844I don't see why not. Isn't it free up to the end of Stormblood now?Just be sure to keep in mind that you can't trade, use the marketboard, join FCs (guilds), stuff like that. You can't create or invite others to a party, but others can invite you, so you can still play with frens.
>>1324844yeah the limitations arent that bad
It's been really tough to find a raid party lately. I started this tier only about a month ago — I wasn't playing when these raids came out — and I've been trying to get a P12S clear. I'm worried that I won't get it before DT.Part of the problem is my 3rd shift work schedule. But besides that, you should see the state of these non-farm P12S parties. It takes forever for them to fill and everyone wipes repeatedly on early mechs like Para 2, SC 1, and Para 3. Last weekend, I sat in a PF for two hours overnight to get a Limit Cut cleanup party going. We saw the Limit Cut once. It's been tough.
Bring me back
>>1324844Yes you can play a ton of story. And if you make some friends you can do a lot of fun raiding too.
>>1328485p12s a year old now, I can only imagine the horrors that await in PF
Let's keep the good vibes going, bros.
>>1324844You get to skip the slog feeling part for free if you do the story until the end of Stormblood. Makes it so that you will only have to pay to unlock the story intense "modern" turn of the game. Nice money saving
>nice thread dead>regular thread ruined by coomersbros..
Made it to the end of the instance :D
Reminder that YGMI
Dawntrail is really cool so far. I just finished the first dungeon. How does everyone like it?
>>1347275dawntrail killed the gameit's over
"w3 haz tac0s" ass expansion
how many threads do you retards need
>>1347275I finished the MSQ last night. It was fun, but there is a lot of valid criticism being leveled at the writing and pacing. The back half of the expansion made up for the slow first half for me, but for a lot of people it's been a deal breaker.
>>1354100More
>>1282732Race stats don’t matterYou can pick up any job as long as your level is appropriate, so don’t worry too much about starting jobYou get a free recustomize around lvl 50 and (I think) another free since DawntrailThere’s a ton of WoW refugees here lol
>>1282732Oh and you can play up to Stormblood for free
>>1347275Story was lame but most of my enjoyment is in endgame so it's been a good expansion so far. EX1 is amazing.
Alexandria and Origenics are the best dungeons.Also this tune should've been the main leitmotif of the expansion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6MTkT9iAQASmile is quite a downgrade from Flow
I miss when we did EX parties together
>>1347275I like the dungeons and the trials
>>1361684Origenics has that turtle though...

I think I'll set Solution 9 as my Home Point
>>1372887I unironically thought this was a LBP screenshot of a sackboy with all kinds of costume parts.
>>1347275The dungeons are great. The story in the first 4 areas is kind of weak. I get that they were trying to go in a new direction by having Wuk Lamat be the protagonist rather than the WoL, but it just makes us and the rest of the scions feel superfluous. Also, as has been green texted to death, the quests became very formulaic. Gulool Ja Ja is a really fun character at least, and I enjoyed the parts with him. The story in the last two areas really picks things up though and I liked those sections a lot.
*un-nices your thread*
>>1323092I think the zadnor ones are the easiest to get.
I hate Crystal PF so fucking much…
I actually don't like being nice
>>1340651when did this become a thing
Wow a /vm/ /xivg/ I'm sure this will be differ->it's the same
Nice thread....think I'll schizo it for three years non-stop.

>>1393984feeling eepy
The oppressor mount looks really nice, but goddamn is grinding PVP to get it fucking miserable.
>>1394413just be sure to do your daily frontline roulette, gives a nice chunk of exp towards the pass.it is a nice mount, the cannons and sentry turrets move so it's pretty neat.
rival wings should also be a pvp daily

>Find this>it's all the same people who ruin the normal xivgSigh...
I see this place is dead as fuck.Just like the main thread with any engaging content.
I want to lick Wuk Lamats feet
>>1422729Way to self report.
>>1408977>>1411125>>1413344>>1418213none of these posts are nice
I wanna fuck Wuk Lamat.
>>1425911>leaves /xivg/>starts posting on /vm/'s xiv threadHehe
>>1426012I don't know. Is this place really that much better than /xivg/?
>>1426041Sure, let's talk about the game. What did you think about the dungeons in Dawntrail?
>>1400425Your kind should die
>>1426053I liked the dungeons, although I'm on the lower end of the skill curve. My one criticism is that some of the trashpulls are bad, and often too easy. Doing old dungeons, some old the old pulls in Stormblood and Shadow ringers could get pretty stressful as a healer, like the first pulls in Holminster Switch, but there's nothing like that in Dawn trail. The worst series of pulls is definitely the ones from the second to the last boss in Origenics.I liked the trials, even if the last one was kind of ruined by the Wuk moment at the end.
>>1426063Hard agree. I've seen some people prefer the second half because the stakes are raised, but I think the first half is better because it's more coherent. Some things get really dumb in the later parts. The things that bother me the most is when Sphene reveals that she 'used us'. It's stupid because at that point, we haven't even helped her in any way yet (Zoraal Ja genocide comes after reveal), so she hasn't even 'used us'. It just makes one wonder why she helped us the first place. The second moment that bothered me a lot was when we were killing the Endless. On one hand were supposed to care about the Endless, and have all of these emotional moments, but also we're supposed to not care about the Endless because they're not really alive so it's totally fine to kill them. It feels like they're trying to eat their cake and have it too.
>>1426088>Sphene killing everyone to have more souls for her people.That reminds me of the another thing that bothered, that the scions didn't try harder to create a peaceful solution. We've already met immortal beings like the Ea, why couldn't we show them to Sphene to show that what she's aiming for is kind of dumb? Or to find a way to keep the Endless alive without committing genocide. It feels out of character to be honest. Until now, they've been characterized as the kind of people who when presented with two crappy choices decide to go "Then we'll just have to find a third way!", but here they just immediately fold and decide there's no other way.
>>1426117KekHave you tried any of the higher end content? I cleared a current extreme trial for the first time with Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme), and I thought it was really fun, even if it was pretty challenging (very casual player normally). The main thing I learned is that progging is really time-consuming.
>>1426122What did you think of the savage raids? I think it's interesting that first we saw people complain that the normal content was too hard, and then we saw people complain that Savage content was too easy. I've even seen some people say that Honey B. Lovely is harder on normal than on savage. I can't really speak on the subject because I haven't done the savage raids, on account of being a shorter.
>>1426128>shorter*shitter
>>1426131What do you dislike about the job changes? I liked the healer changes, they gave us more damage stuff.
>>1426138Makes sense, the fact that they've said to wait for 8.0 speaks to a lack of confidence in their design choices. I'm gonna go play the game now :)
>>270836539They're being dumb. I feel like anyone who is rating the story of DT higher than previous expansions are just SE defenders.
>>1426561True.But yeah, like I said in the other thread, the MSQ experience is pretty dogshit this time around. Some good moments, but just way too much stupidity with the writing.And YoshiP's comments and responses I've seen convince me that he did not go through any of it this time. Just checked the combat/trial/raid fights probably. But he seems to be almost completely out of touch with Dawntrail.
>>1426567>You know what really annoys me about the way Yoshi-P handles things?>He feels the need to comment on every fucking little thing and APOLOGIZE. Shut the fuck up and let us build trust in your vision.Its one part Japanese being Japanese, niggas apologize even when they're doing good. And I think its one part, just become the thing to do since ARR. That public apology when he took over set the tone. He's been apologizing for every little thing ever since.>>1426077I think people like the second half less because of the stakes and more because it feels like a "normal" XIV plot. Its like thats where the MSQ finally starts. The shit before that is really more of some .4/.5 patch shit.But yeah, Sphene is just retarded on every level. I really don't get what her plan was at all. I think its that she was chafing under Zoraal Ja's rule, and she wanted him gone. And she also wanted go full mindwiped-terminator monster mode. But so long as Zoraal Ja was alive, she lacked the authority to do so. She was system locked out of it. So she pits us against Zoraal Ja, letting us proceed and fuck with shit. Zoraal Ja is gone, Sphene can proceed with terminating reality.I think. I was so checked out of the story by the end, I don't really know how much of this is actually in the story.On the Endless, I thought was fine. Its like exorcizing ghosts. We were helping them through their unfinished matters, and then they were content to pass on.I feel like the major problem with the Endless is that they rush through it and barely explain stuff. We didn't get sufficient info dumps, story, and shit. They tried to play on our emotions with Krile's parents and Erenville's mom to get us to handwave our dogshit the narrative progression was.
>>1426580>>1426063Yeah, the whiplash is unreal. Like I saw above, the first half of the story is basically two patch MSQs worth. Both in content and vibe. And honestly, I think it would have still flowed better had they just set up Alexandria as a looming threat or existence better in the first half. Like, we have had pretty chill early MSQ before shit gets real before. But the later shift's plots always had a tangible presence in the early MSQ plot.>>1426112Yeah, no one even really tried. On either side. Sphene is just robo-tempered into farming every living being. And the Scions are just "yeah, ok, fuck you and your robo family".And it would have worked if SE had played up Sphene's robo-tempering much more. Showing that there is no way to negotiate with her because she's fucked by her coding. Forced to follow her directives no matter what. But they again, they tried to play on our emotions by making her so angsty and uwu and "tragic", so we would just handwave any narrative issues away.Its all so dumb.
I played for two months in 2016, got to max level with two jobs, half-max-level on several other jobs and all my tradeskills. Thinking about jumping back in but obviously no idea how to play. Should I just roll a new toon on a preferred server using the free trial or should I continue on with my existing toon?
I'm new to the game and watched a summarized version up to Dawntrail. Currently I'm playing through the story and I play on Ultros - Primal.If anyone would like to talk to me about the story and what to do in the game with generally being social that would be nice.I met one good normie, we talked and he was a big nerd about FATE. He told me about one portion of the story that took about 2 hours and I find it fun to listen to people./vg/ is a board I avoid but finding a /vm/ XIV thread is surprising to me. Shooting my shot feel free to drop a place to meet, I understand how to world travel but never did so once yet. Will be doing the MSQ in the meantime.
>>1428745Fuck off to vg and keep your shit over there
>>1428745You're welcome bro, stay here and relax
Is this general here to stay?
>>1428745Primal, Ultros?
>>1429954Thank you.>>1429970Yes, but I currently just logged off to build a desk. I might log back in an hour or two.
Eureka, Pyros
I see this place is still nice. Nice.
>>1423632>surprised you're still tussling aboutI only stick around, because there is still a few kind souls in the massive pile of shit. They want to have discussion, but you really fucking can't with the constant drama and coom slop that plagues it. Other /vg/ threads have a discussion, but... I rarely see the shit with /xivg/.I TRY my best to keep the threads on the discussion. Yet, I assume I'll probably fuck off soon when the content lull really kicks in and get absorbed into some games. (Assuming if I don't get permabanned from this website beforehand.)
>>1429978nobody likes you

>>1426903just continue, the games piss easy and you have to level to the new max anyway so you'll be relearning your old jobs. just make sure you read through your tooltips and setup your hotbars again
is it too late to jump into this game as a brand new playeris this game lonely to play
>>1443388i havent really played any ff before but i always thought 11 looked cool and i played like 10 hours of 12 and thought it was cool.but the way people talk about mmos now makes me feel like its a dead thing
>>1443392thank you i guess i just had questions since everyone seems very down on pretty much every mmo right now
>>1426128>>1426131Today I cleared The Final Coil of Bahamut Turn 1 synched (although not MINE), despite my status as shitter, so I guess I'm technically a savage raider too now.
>Network Technical Difficulties (enter today's date)>Network Technical Difficulties (enter yesterday's date)>Network Technical Difficulties (enter two day's before date)is this game even playable? or am I wasting my time trying
>>1444851As long you're not trying to play during the NA hours, you're fine. Yet, I'll let you be the judge on that decision. I can give you a few key points on why the servers are absolute shit.The servers are absolutely dog shit to play during peak time because people are piling onto Aether and flooding the server beyond capacity. If retards stop defaulting to that data center for all of their Party Finder content, that might help ease some of the issues.On top of that, their server host is literal hot trash and hasn't done shit to mitigate or resolve any of the server-related issues. This issue has been around since April 2023 and NTT America (who SE licenses with) has tried to blame it on other ISPs for their horrible networking. The community is so mentally retarded that they believe it's WoW players doing it.
>>1444866I'm in europe on light, people get disconnected all over the place is what I'm seeing. so I'm guessing at least some of that also applies to us here?
>>1444901Yes. It does. I'm not sure how much the threshold is on Light, but I know if you try funneling all the players onto one data center, then you'll end up with server instability issues.
>>1442265>>1442704Be nice or go back to /vg/ where you both belong.
>>1445446stop replying to the literal faggot pedophile gt
>>1445447This, that sodomite freak shits up every xivg adjacent thread he touches.
I don't know who that is but all these meanies need to go back to not-nicexivg, like, pronto!
It's funny to read this dialogue when your character is a lalafell, a species that is only barely taller than the loporitts.
>>1446457Man I love the loporrits so much.
>>1446535You're surprised some random anon is doing Allied Society Quests during downtime in between patch cycles? I finished Dawntrail like a week or so after it released.
>>1446464The Lopporits are special little guys

look at my penis
>>1449816dear penis, I don't think I like you anymore.
Since the live letter is just around the corner, what are your expectations for 7.1? Additionally, since the alliance raid is supposed to be based on FFXI, is there any piece of gear from that game that you wish would get implemented into ours? I've seen a lot of people hope for the dancer artifact armor from FFXI (pic related), and I do have to agree that it fits aesthetically with this expansion's South American vibe.
I think it's funny that we're seemingly getting The World of Darkness for the 'chaotic' alliance raid. First of all because the Crystal Tower are famously easy, so it's fun that they're making challenging versions of them. Secondly, because of the Surveys Tower glitch that happened when Dawntrail released. Perhaps Amon (Savage) will rise from just being a meme and become an actual (intended) fight in the game.
>>1452420yoshida did say during the LL he doesn't think the Chaos level alliance raid is as difficult as savage"it's definitely not as hard as turn a turn 4 savage fight"so if it's at least turn 1 or even 3, it'll be difficult and fun
>>1452452The devs often make incorrect statements about difficulty though, and don't always understand what makes something difficult and what makes something fun.
>>1453792This. Look how the savage raids fucking turned out lmfao
Whats the best race for a THF in this game?
>>1455130What?
>bunny farming in pagos>gold chest>type of hakutaku eye that I already ownI just hope I can get the Optical Hat before the FFXI alliance raid ;_;
>aether is still congestedit's fucking over for me innit
>>1458225So between Dream and Samsara, who's the top and who's the bottom?
>>1459650I haven't decided yet, so it is up to you.
