Because they steadily and deliberately dumbed the game down since the end of 3.X and started to cater to RPers and new people instead of trying to satisfy the people who played since the beginning, the actual playerbase

You have to clear each one to unlock the next. I only had it unlocked up to A2 until this winter went I set a day aside to queue for them all sequentially. 95% of zoomers won't bother to do that

Eureka

>Omega Raid = set of glorified Extremes
While it can be argued that they're fun mechanically other than the Waifu bait with Omega-F the raid series of in itself was banking on major nostalgia with as little content creation as possible thanks to Dissidia. They didn't bother making it feel like you're actually "raiding" an area and made it a set of glorified extreme trials with little to nothing being memorable outside of Alphascape due to the amount of non-original XIV content since none of it was integrated into the world itself. Hell if they wanted to nostalgia bait they could have made each tier raiding the very world the bosses were from with the hub changing appearance dependent on the game at hand.
>Dungeons
Still one and done style content where you've seen it once you've seen it all.
>MSQ
Terrible up till recently and thats only because its leading up to the old WoD story that HW dropped off suddenly giving us something to care about but the overall region split between Ala Mhigo and Doma just hurt the pacing and weight of most events.
>Eureka
It clearly shows they learned nothing from Diadem and was called out from the start of what it was going to be and rather than giving us the "Nice Yoshida learned and gave us something nice" it was just a "If it wasn't for the relic it would have died"

Overall the Expansion can be summed up with "Hey Heavensward worked so why even bother changing it up?" It was a rushed experience story wise and offered nothing new like Heavensward did when compared to ARR paired with your hope of being wow'd by the Dev Team's growth which in this case was very lacking.

Baldesion Arsenal is fun though

I hate gays and it has something to do with their sexual preference

You still need to progress thru each tier to get to the next and the amount of people willing to help is laughably low. The way the game structures content and rewards making running past content very unappealing and only makes Savage at any point desirable due to the dyable rewards.

You burned out, happens to the best of us. Just unsub and play other vidya.

It is but it could have just been a regular duty. Again Eureka is shit.

They shit the bed with the content, end of heavensward had things to do.
Now all we have is a dead party finder, unfunny savages, unfunny extreme trials and the fucking eureka.

Are you referring to ability culling? Besides that what have they changed? How are they "catering to RP'ers?"

Are they supposed to be funny

You can put a pretty ribbon on a turd to make it prettier but in the end the ribbon is still sitting upon a turd. I think the Baldesion Arsenal shows some promise in terms of dungeon design if they can further push its more "dangerous" approach into the 4-mans or even expand on 8-man like 1.0 but as it stands its just a pretty little ribbon sitting on that turd that is Eureka.
>burn out
I would partially agree if Stormblood wasn't a rehashing of Heavensward with a shittier story. It offered nothing new and the polish of HW looks lackluster given the expectation of Dev growth with each coming expansion. Also this user has a point since the Relic in of itself helped prop up old content in HW where as in Stormblood it's stuck in a glorified instance that would have died had the relic not been attached to it.

As long as they make a second Hydatos/Anemos it should be fine. Anemos was perfect for the Eureka design scheme.

But it's not fine, caging the player base inside an instance is absolutely not fine.

> Hydatos/Anemos it should be fine
I would highly doubt that. The burn of Pagos and the overall dead feeling thanks to Eureka has done its damage and I'd expect more people at this point are hoping they remove the Relic from it and let it stand on its own. Repeating Heavnesward for a 3rd time without any visible growth from the player's perspective will not help the game out in the long run.

>as little content creation as possible

They had Exdeath and Kefka models to use, and Ultros and Bibliotaph to reuse. They had to create Alte Roite (which really should have been called Jura Aevis, we didn't even see the old man), Catastrophe, Halicarnassus, Neo Exdeath, Phantom Train, Chardanook, Guardian, Dadaluma, Air Force, the whole tiered statue, Chaos, young Midgardsormr, and all of Omega's forms?

At best they saved some concept design work and a few models worth.

I remember hearing Japan loves Eureka. If that's true then XIV is fucked. Hope you like standing around doing nothing

both his eyes are red now, retard.

Japan does not love Eureka. Relative to other regions one could argue that but when no one region has above 15% of its active population in Hydatos you can kind of get a gauge for how well the content did. Japan was worse than NA in the sense that they just straight up AFK'd and waited for FATEs as opposed to NA trying to NM Train all the time.

Yeah, it'd be better if Eureka was the way to see public dungeons and have its own special gear rather than be tied directly to relic. I've always liked working on relics at my own pace and not feeling so left behind if I'm not doing shit day one.
XIV has so little open world content, if you want to play the game at all you are caged inside an instance anyway.

returning player her, i was surprised at how much they removed smn and put shadow flare on cool down

I legit miss diadem and the dinosaurs.

But that one single ex-trial or savage instance isn't eating 144 players at once. I miss being able to do even something but alas, the pf is dead.

>diadem
fuck off

I wish you'd die a dem faggot

Sorry that you guys had to resort to attacking me for having an opinion. I need to learn how to have a common opinion like everyone else.

You only say that because Eureka was so very shit, hell it felt like a massive downgrade compared to Diadem but why bother with Diadem or Eureka at this point. If they want to experiment with Open World content then do it in the damn Overworld, not like it's done anything crazy in ARR, HW and now SB.

>wtf why aren't people kissing my ass for my precious opinions? why are they so mean?? :(
You know where to find reddit, fag

They had open world dungeons before ARR, so it isn't like its new.

I think a problem that would solve Eureka or diadem is to make it into leveling content. I get they want people from capping early but an alternative to dungeons and HoH in the overworld would be nice. fates are dead.

Did you have a shitty day user?

>open world dungeons
1.0 didn't have Open World dungeons, you're confusing the lack of DF with that. To enter a dungeon you'd actually have to go to the dungeon entrance to enter and if you died you'd spawn outside deaed with your whole party. Primals were the same as well with Mog being the most annoying to get to given the Unmarked Keystone drops and the Treants that would one shot you if you weren't walking, the same way Void Dragons do in Eureka.

Stormblood was a weak expansion.
All we got was a metric shitton of QoL improvements and the two Ultimates. Everything else I feel like Heavensward did better and first.

>Heavensward did better and first.
No the polish was about the same but it had the benefit of being the first expansion to show said polish meaning everything else looks lackluster since you'd assume that they'd figure out how to make that polish even better and build upon the systems.

Spending a day going through an entire raid seems like a pretty reasonable amount of time

>1.0 didn't have Open World dungeons
Wrong. It had a good amount of open world dungeons. Instances like Toto-rak and Aurum Vale were added later. Copperbell, Nanawa, Mun-tuy Cellars, Tam-Tara, Cassiopaea Hollow, and Shposhae were all open world.

They're about equal, heavensward just came first so stormblood looks like shit.

Did you actually play 1.0 or are you memeing. There were several open world dungeons you could do.

Does Yea Forums allow free thought? Or is this more of a Reddit thing?

>Copperbell and Tam Tara
You are right, I honestly forgot about Copper Bell and Tam Tara though I can't remember ever doing them.

Alexander was better and don't get me even started on the primals we've grinded for the past two years. Way too easy and way too many stupid gimmicks.

You can only really get away with it in FCs and even that can be sketchy depending upon who your stupid officers decide to invite.

There's no banter because everyone reports and kicks you for the smallest shit

It's not about that, the animation and slight skill delay fucks with my timing. In something like WoW the cast happens instantly, same with character movement. In XIV there's this animation build-up that I can't get over, it's extremely annoying

Not doing the challenge log is just stupid.

You're better off just grinding mobs autistically for exp which is what the devs want you do to anyway if they later eureka zones after anemos are any indication.

>There is, they fucked up the movement physics in ARR. You might be too young to remember.
I've played since 1.0 closed beta, nigger. Back then there actually WAS build-up to your movement because they had momentum. They changed that in ARR. There's now no fucking delay at all. You press the button in a direction and you move in that direction. You're actually fucked in the head.

That's always been my experience in these games with extended animations for every action. It's like you gotta wait for the animation to finish instead of it letting you cast the skill immediately.

I'm not into online only shooters with ugly western designs noty

Nope, you're just conditioned to it. There's still momentum to everything due to the shitty animations.

There's a queue system for skills that lasts like 2/3rds of a second. Stop mashing your damn buttons and it'll come out fine.

That is literally not how it works. You move full speed as soon as you press a directional key, and that shit is completely client-side.

Savage runs is just grinding the same mob over and over again until you get your item/clear. Little to no difference.

>its like you gotta wait for the animation
No you don't. You only need to wait if its an animation lock. The rest pop off fast enough, double weaving exists

I'm moving in the game right now and there's no delay at all. You're either insane or whatever you're playing on is fucked.

Does SMN still have that ridiculously long opener?

The main problem that long time players have with stormblood is that its good but its extremely similar to the previous expansion in terms of the content we're getting, which is good content but not content that mixes things up.
The content that does mix things up isn't very good. I started playing a couple years ago several months after SB came out so Im still having a blast, but I'm sure that I won't feel the same half way in Shadowbringers if this keeps up.

Yeah, but it's not as complicated as it used to be if I remember right.

It's basically split into 3 or 4 phases that repeat throughout the entire fight, and they always repeat in the same order.

That's not based blue mage.

You only have yourself to blame for the Guardian meme

i've pretty much accepted that the game is never going to change in any meaningful way
like i don't hate the game but i really only subscribe for major patches, because i don't have any reason to keep current with the game. if i had a raid group it might be a different story but i kinda don't want to ruin the game for myself by feeling obligated to play it

I'm still waiting on my shitty ass friends to actually put the time in and clear a savage raid, most have difficulty on the normal versions and give up after two wipes on savage.

It isn't this shitter filter, it's the PC elitest shitter filter as even greylets can clear it. This game is mostly about memorization and rathalos shits on that so most pcfags like yourself hate it and can't clear it. Lot's of ''orange'' parsers or whatever the meme color for poopsock parses is can't clear this fight to save their life.

It's not the hot new thing anymore. It's just kinda chugging along.

No, MCH still does good damage it is just absolute ass to play

Most of the difficulty comes from the fact that you're not used to it and that you have to stop dpsing and properly look at where you have to stand. Nowadays you'll almost always clear the fight the first try anyway.

Any time I see a MCH in a SB raid I assume he is trolling. There is literally L I T E R A L L Y no reason to ever go MCH over BRD. Ever. Not in this expansion.

I do not comprehend the words you are using to express yourself regarding Eureka. I was scared off from playing it for a whole year because constant bitching here on /v that it was ultra grindy with no payoff but I have recently went through both Anemos and Pagos this last week and it has been the most fun I have had in XIV since Stormblood's launch when I was still going through the story. The old school grindy aspect and party forming to farm notorious monsters is addicting as hell. I love how I constantly get one shot but there is a true community inside and there is always a res nearby. Eureka has breathed fresh life straight into the veins of XIV and I hope they continue building on it or something similar in Shadowbringers.

is this a good game for making friends?

What the fuck are you talking about? It's the complete opposite.

...

You're fucking joking, XIV is the most lenient MMO out there. Grinding never takes too long and Yoshida himself has FAMOUSLY said that the game is designed so players can get what they want out of a patch, then not have to play until the next patch.

>They've designed the game to become a second job
What game are you playing? The only content I can find to do on most days is big fishing.

I would recommend saving your challenge log exp to boost you from level 21 so you can nm train easier in Pagos. It's only like 8 hours of NM grinding to get to 20 anyways which is one afternoon of playing. It is way worse to get to level 20 without any challenge log exp and trying to do anything in Pagos.

Hey if you like it then thats great, you don't need to agree with me but the overall community consensus is negative in regards to Eureka. To me Eureka just killed off player engagement overall instead of "breathing life" into the game and the participation numbers only prove this. The old school grind doesn't fit with our combat style or reward structure since we're way faster than the MMOs of old and work on a treadmill thanks to iLvl. JP was the only one who even got near to 20% of active pop with Lvl 50 Pyros by the time Hydatos was out.

Not an argument, I have an 8 hour job too and still managed it.

Not a single one of you watched the portion of the video I was referring to - where the developer was talking about how the heart and soul of partying up and killing big bads is the excitement to see what drops.

XIV has this built into every level of its design - Kill a boss 4 times get your chest, kill it 4 more times and get your pants.

When you can look at the loot pool in its entirety and tally how often you'll have to do each things until you have all your gear there's literally no excitement left in logging on and killing a boss because in the words of the developer it's just "getting a pay check".

Unfortunately the heart and soul of XIV is teleporting around and talking to NPCs which is horrendously boring.

So fucking spread the hours out over the course of a few days????????? Some of you are really fucking retarded

Eat shit

Reminder challenge logs reset every week. Dont be like this autist and level through more than one eureka zone in a week.
Actually just dont do eureka. Its too late.

If you're killing things to get gear, you're playing the game wrong. Gear is worthless for anything but glamour.

>posts anime girl when called out
you truly are subhuman

I ruined a whole year in university because of this. Literally had to retake 12 courses

Alexander was pure kino

Yeah dream on try and walk backwards or even just slowly foward and see how you struggle I bet you use the standard camera. And even so gamepad is just as if not better in this game. The only time m+kb might be better is healing because keybinds and even that is debatable. And it doesn't matter anyway since console players can use m+kb as well so your argument is moot anyway.
But besides that the only shitter is you since ''savage'' doesn't mean shit cause I've been in plenty of parties where ''ultimate legends'' couldn't handle rathalos ex because that fight actually requires you to have a brain and pay attention. You can't just autistically poopsock it until it's burned into you. The only shitter here is you.

While true xiv gear progression is trash i prefer it since it means i can just do the savage fights clear it and get my shit within 3 months and nope the fuck out til the following raid tier. Basically i have minimal grinding to do to get into the content i wanna do. I didnt mean you but whenever i would run an alliance raid and people would start spouting that shit in alliance chat, id just be wondering why the fuck does it still take 8 minutes to kill mateus.
Honestly i dont know why most players complain about the gear drops in this game. I genuinely dont know what they are using the gear for.

Except for you it seems. And I've cleared other extreme/savage content so it's not like there is anyuthing special about ratahlos. It's piss easy. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's hard or anything, it's the opposite. The only thing with it though is that it's random and that you have to pay attention. Something that console players are used to. Not so much in XIV. It's just laughable that you probably count yourself among the ''masterrace'' yet only play xiv and think that this makes you better then others. And you're just a filthy hypocrite because I'm 99% sure you use ACT to babysit you anyway.

Well you see, originally i thought to simply dump all my Kenki into Shintens amd Gurens but i know my Kaiten works on Higanbana, so i should forego an initial Shinten so that i might do that and then i can Meikyo Shisui all my Sen and resume doing so and then rotate naturally into my Midare Setsugekka fillers

Had a run of Gubal once, I was tank. All 3 other party members died halfway into the first boss. Ended up soloing him by myself while they cheered me on from the barrier. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The Four Lords stuff disappointed me. Suzaku was alright, but it's hard to waifu someone continually screaming about another man.

On a more serious note, the lack of a fight against Koryu was unforgivable. And it basically ended the same way as the third Ivalice Raid.

Also, if you just play the scenario through in full now, Suzaku and Seiryu just show up right before the sidequest ends, so you barely get to know them. Especially Seiryu.

It is similar to previous expansions and I know Shadowbringers won't change that either. The moment they mentioned Primals and Beast tribes you already know what to expect.

Stormblood would've been a great opportunity to try a different rep and faction system. Stuff like the confederate, garlean supporters, and the resistance...but no you get the typical shit.

The issue with SB wasn't that the content was similar because there a few things different. It was just the lack of everything else compared to HW. SB was a step down in terms of raids, music, story and some dungeons. I mean Ala Mhigo was good and I thought it would open up more diverse and grand scale dungeons down the line but Ghymlit Dark fucking sucked.

Omega was very stale and the story was not as in depth like Alexander or Final Coil. The only good thing that came out of SB was Ivalice and Ultimate raids.

Eureka while having its issues was still different and I commend that. I just hope though for end game they mix elements from the Ivalice raids with stuff they had in Coil or Alexander.

Every time

Have to constantly watch out for mechanics though.

I always use kaiten for every iajutsu and kasha/gekko and just use shinten when I have spare kenki but yes you should definitely use kaiten for every iajutsu and especially higanbana since the dot is bigger then.

Yeah, the lack of Koryu as a capstone was kind of disappointing, but they would've had a hard time building him up as this absolute monster you're trying to seal away and then have you cut him down in a trial. I at least hoped for a solo instance where you had to hold him off for a bit while the ward was restored.

Also, the final lord was a little disappointing compared to the rest, the mechanics weren't anything new or surprising like Byakko's schmup like thingy and Su's DDR. I was hoping we'd get one more off the wall thing to top it all off.

Seriously. You're even about to step up and the others are like "OH NO, YOU CAN'T FIGHT HIM HE'S TOO POWERFUL".

Are you fucking SERIOUS? I've literally fought gods, millennia old dragons, voidsent and Ascians and even Omega, who could literally have destroyed the world any time he wanted with little more than a thought, and you're telling me I can't kill a fucking horse? You'd rather just seal him away so you have to go through this whole fucking drama all over again the next time the seals weaken?

Fuck off. Fuck you.

If I had money I would get another sub and play it with someone, it's always fun with friends imo

Case in point: I don't mind buying the game, buying the expansions and paying a subscription monthly ontop of that. But the second you relegate stuff to being cash shop only it kills it for me. Look at how down the drain seasonal events are.

Expect to see more of this in the future because this is what makes games money these days.

How do you know Smelter Demon is souls if you've never played it?

>it causes the game developer to go more and more hard towards it because of how much they make from whales
And yet with the very last patch they introduce one of the most desirable mounts in the game (Ozma) that is only achievable for extremely dedicated long-term players instead of being pay-for.

The only thing that's hollow is that sad excuse of a skull of yours because only a brainless retard could make such a garbage post.

Is it true rdm has one of the lowest dps outputs even if executed well?

Unless they're adding real asses into the cash shop too it just won't be the same. If they did add ass augments to the shop I'd probably buy them though...

Because it's in the deadzone between expansions.

Shit, it wasn't even a recolor, it looked exactly the same.

Wow a single mount. They sure are pulling out the stops for those extremely dedicated long-term players!

You'll have to make due with mods, unfortunately.

Yep. It's intentionally balanced that way, since they can provide instant raises and powerful heals for a DPS, enabling them to take pressure off the healers and allowing healers to DPS more in turn, in theory.
All in all it makes RDM pretty low tier in terms of high end raid play because they're already squeezing every drop of DPS out of the healers.
However nobody in XIV is terribly, significantly underpowered. Nobody's going to kick a RDM out in hopes of getting a better queue-in-progress DPS or something.

Yet you're 397 get gud

you're a pathetic incel, lol

>falling for the in-theater food scheme

Also you do realize many theater employees are min wage college students who rarely give a shit right? Still if you're going to buy food in there you're better off finding a theater with its own actual food service where you have chefs make shit for you.

>complains about mogstation and asses

>Wow a single mount. They sure are pulling out the stops for those extremely dedicated long-term players!
It's actually more like three mounts in one, since it transforms. That's what I meant by desirable, y'see?
I mean, it's not like there's a deluge of content that is all highly desirable and not pay-for. Like Ultimate weapons or Omega armor. Clearly, glamour is pay to win.
You fucking whiner.

Are there mods? Decent ones, I mean. I saw that shitty nude mod years ago that some cunt wanted like 10 bucks for and took a bye. Are there actual decent mods now?

I still find game pretty fun with really lots of content I didn't even bothered to start, like squadrons or sb deep dungeon
Great game

it's the lowest dps caster, which puts it in the middle of the pack since casters do a lot of damage

A lie spread by uninformed Forum posters user. Everything that is originally China/Korea exclusive is made in-house. They just ask SE for certain items per their contractual obligation since they do help them license and release the game in their respective regions. They work pretty much how Digital Extremes does with Warframe in China. They make Gear and Frames in-house and by contract guarantee a timed exclusivity only to release it later on the global build.

And into the trash it goes. We're done here it seems. I hope your balls get cut off but you probably don't have any anyway if you're stooping to calling people virgin or incel.

Only virgin neckbeards think the flat butts is a flaw. Go jerk off to porn or some shit

You don't know how to read do you? I mentioned that compared to Coil and Alex. Omega was fucking shit. Yes even with the filler on the 3rd wings it was still fucking better than the bullshit Omega pulled. The whole story of Omega was nothing compelling or interesting. It was just practically a E.T story with no major plot point.

The design of the raids also was terrible. it didn't feel like a "raid' at all just nothing but Mega man boss battles.

All interest lost.

When they shut down the servers, the game was reborn as a corpse that was being puppeteer-ed by wow and erp kids. I know of some whales who drop 3k in a couple months just off gender change potions off their autism bucks.

Then what is the defense for a job that can slightly do a better job than other jobs at 50 which it doesn't thanks to bosses being immune to a good chunk of BLU's kit on outdated content?

Low IQ post. There are other mounts that shift forms depending on mode of transport (magitech armour). Really shows the lengths they go for "extremely dedicated long-term players" (your words, lol)

>Clearly, glamour is pay to win.

There are pay to win elements on the cash shop though, like level boosts, story potions and being able to higher multiple retainers (very useful). But of course... that's just pay2go faster right? lol.

>You fucking whiner.

Did you see how shitty the last event was and that 'reward' compared with the latest cash shop glamour? lol

>playing nu-xiv

Look up how to do TexTools and look at the xivmodarchive. Don't let the terrible taste has discourage you.

No.. not at all. Fan service is the least I care for in xiv

I honestly completely forgot there was an event going on for Little Ladies' Day. What the fuck was even the reward for it this time around?

Sauce? I'll look into it at least. I'm assuming that it probably only modifies the base outfit or something and probably doesn't give any new dimension to existing armors and such.

I've messed around with Cheat Engine a little, but it can only modify the tits and you can only increase their size just a little before things start looking really janky.

Just like in previous games they have high utility.

A flower crown.
That's it.

>There are other mounts that shift forms depending on mode of transport (magitech armour).
Those are sight reshapes, like spawning jets or such. Ozma completely changes form for each mode.
>Really shows the lengths they go for "extremely dedicated long-term players" (your words, lol)
I mean, it is? Ozma is an absolutely sick mount, I would put it at top of all mounts in the game in terms of desirability. I really fuckin' want it, myself.
So, your mockery is trite and hollow.
>There are pay to win elements on the cash shop though, like level boosts, story potions and being able to higher multiple retainers (very useful). But of course... that's just pay2go faster right? lol.
Paying to not play the game is not paying to win.

Don't forget the Valentine's rewards that were literally just Gold Saucer monster weapons they withheld because they forgot to make anything for it.

I really wish I could hate you people to death for killing my hobby.

Not much of an ally are you if go hating on black people. I thought your kind loved having black men fuck your women?

The game has more major flaws than two.

Break up scholar and summoner already. Fix the pet system. Dark Knight is outdated since HW. LIMIT BREAK Blue Mage. A more developed system for GC. Different rep factions instead of beast tribes.

Fix catching up through old content or break up into small sections. Fix the netcode. Can't converse with npcs on mounts etc

Not that user but you do realize its literally just reusing the Ozma asset they dediccate for the boss fight right? All they had to do is scale it down for players and add a section for you to sit on, thats it. With that in mind we could have had the same mount when the first Ozma fight came out. Other mounts that change forms took more effort to make than Ozma or any other mount that is just reusing a enemy/boss model.

you wildly underestimate the amount of bad posts i've made
just an outpouring of zero effort shit that sucks to read

>Ozma completely changes form for each mode.

Wow... the simple cube changes to a simple sphere or whatever other basic geometric shape you can imagine.. such effort for "extremely dedicated long-term players", now make sure to buy the latest five $30 mounts at mogstop

B-b-but think of how much work it took them to apply the Hydatos texture on it...!

You should have complained over a decade ago when people were buying horse armor dlc. It's too late now, complaining does nothing. The world of microtransactions has dug in its roots and its not going anywhere.

Not the user you're arguing with but if you ask me is the only thing that comes close to pay2win is the SDS fenrir mount since it has a real gameplay advantage in the form of already having +1 mountspeed and even then it's debatable.

Why are you even here if you don't want to level up characters?
Retainers is pay for convenience, honestly. Since the last inventory expansion combined with glamour rework I've had more than enough room for everything I've ever wanted to do and still have blank pages to spare.
I know what it is, and it doesn't have to have required incredible dev time to be a fantastic mount all the same. Honestly the point is pointless. Extra dev time doesn't sweeten anything.

You sound like an erp loser I knew on Discord. He thought he was the shit for cyber sexing grown men in games LOL

That guy must be some kind of turd burglar, everyone I know from my XI days constantly wished there was a jump button. When I played the ARR beta and could finally fucking jump I ran around town doing basically nothing but that for 10 minutes, just to get a decade of being a jumpless pleb out of my system. Christ, I used clipping hacks the last couple years of XI not to cheat, but because I was so fucking sick of having to walk half a mile to get around an eight-inch rise in the ground that prevented me from going cleanly from A to B.

Was there and not nu-xiv? And for the love of god I hope you don't mean 1.0

>Y-y-you can't actually BEAT an MMO so nothing you do is P2W! It's only P2W if you pay to get to the credits otherwise it's just pay for convenience!
A lobotomy patient has more brain function than you "people"

>such effort for "extremely dedicated long-term players"
Effort doesn't have a direct relationship with quality. You can spend a thousand hours on trash and it will still be trash.
>I pay to play games not pay to not play games
So why complain that the option to pay to not play exists?

>I've had more than enough room for everything I've ever wanted to do and still have blank pages to spare.
That's great fr you but even if the amount is greater than ARR and HW we need to consider the scale of items given to us since then. Item buildup is much more rapid in XIV compared to other MMOs, especially for one that doesnt put much emphasis on crafting as a gear alternative outside of day 1 raiding.
>I know what it is, and it doesn't have to have required incredible dev time to be a fantastic mount all the same
No one is really arguing that it isn't a cool mount, what they're arguing is it took almost little to no dev time to make, something that you are arguing so how about you stop moving the goalposts. Ozma's mount took almost no effort as it had assets already sitting since fuckking Heavensward.

>You sound like an erp loser I knew on Discord

>Effort doesn't have a direct relationship with quality. You can spend a thousand hours on trash and it will still be trash.

Because you have to look at the larger picture and see how this influences the developer of a game and the direction the game takes. Just take the degradation of events for example.

And there's clearly a correlation between effort and time when you have a team of PROFESSIONALS whose job it is to make content for a videogame and the quality of output you get.

Again, we're talking about the actual gameplay boosts you pay for, you actual fucking retard.
>y-y-you're just poor!
No, I'm just not a retard who wants to contribute to the death of my hobby.

Pay2win and pay4cosmetics are both equally as bad. It's a slippery slope either way.

>Because you have to look at the larger picture and see how this influences the developer of a game and the direction the game takes. Just take the degradation of events for example.
If you would just use your brain for two fucking seconds you would realize the "degradation of events" is because the vast majority of dev time is being put into Shadowbringers and they have little time or incentive to spare.
>And there's clearly a correlation between effort and time when you have a team of PROFESSIONALS whose job it is to make content for a videogame and the quality of output you get.
There's a huge limit to that in every aspect. Throwing more people at the wall doesn't guarantee any improvements whatsoever. Money does not spawn quality on its own.

>Again, we're talking about the actual gameplay boosts you pay for, you actual fucking retard.
The only one of which that applies whatsoever being an expanded inventory? You're literally paying for server space, because it costs them more to host more data. That's what paying for a retainer is. It's server costs.
Inventory space actually hurts their goddamn maintenance.

Japan "loves" Eureka in that 15% of its players actually did it compared to the 12% of NA/EU

Eureka was overall a massive flop, Yoshi just considers it a success because "well people did it for a long time" (no shit, the content is literally designed to waste your time as much as possible)

Im still fucking MAD that they actually have the audacity to sell old event items that can just be brought back. FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS for shaved ice

>If you would just use your brain for two fucking seconds you would realize the "degradation of events" is because the vast majority of dev time is being put into Shadowbringers and they have little time or incentive to spare.

because this hasn't been going on before this. Maybe you should look at the frequency expansions release in, this isn't something out of the ordinary.

>There's a huge limit to that in every aspect. Throwing more people at the wall doesn't guarantee any improvements whatsoever. Money does not spawn quality on its own.

So why are they throwing more dev time at Shadowbringers even though it won't guarantee any improvements whatsoever?

Do you read what you write?

Fucking lol. I always laugh at this kind of stuff.

Just because you didn't like something doesn't mean it was a "massive flop".
I bet you think FFXIII and FFXV were "flops" too.

>Paying gooks a monthly fee
Nope

>because this hasn't been going on before this. Maybe you should look at the frequency expansions release in, this isn't something out of the ordinary.
Events started dropping off in quality around patch 2.5 and 3.5, so you're right, this isn't out of the ordinary. This is demonstrably usual.
>So why are they throwing more dev time at Shadowbringers even though it won't guarantee any improvements whatsoever?
Because it's necessary to actually construct a full sized expansion, you total moron? It doesn't mean it's going to be a good game, I never suggested anything like that. Shadowbringers might be utterly terrible. But it still requires time and effort to create, because it's going to be large.
Large is not quality.

>vast majority of dev time is being put into Shadowbringers
>Throwing more people at the wall doesn't guarantee any improvements whatsoever. Money does not spawn quality on its own.
Holy shit user, you fucking contradicted yourself in one fucking go. Good job.
Don't forget they charge $3 for an Orchestrion Roll of songs that costs $0.99 outside of XIV's cash shop and people on the forum and Reddit defend it with "licensing" issues that SE needs to deal with.

Yes I would consider games that had overinflated budgets and failed to recoup costs without milking them with recycled content a flop, user.

>literally over 80% of the playerbase hasn't even touched Hydatos
>i-it was a success!!!1!

>FFXV DLCs cancelled

Sounds like a flop to me, not to mention they lost money thanks to the FFXV DLCs that they had to cancel.

>Holy shit user, you fucking contradicted yourself in one fucking go. Good job.

I didn't say Shadowbringers was going to be well made.

>literally over 99% of the playerbase hasn't even touched Final Omega
>i-it was a success!!!1!

Japan is 18%, NA is 5.8% and EU is 7.8%
Please refer to The content failed and only pulled those numbers thanks to the Relic

Yeah but the difference is my statistic is datamined from the game, while yours was datamined from your ass.

Now post Savage clear rates so you can BTFO this retard

Don't forget that those numbers are also only after all the massive nerfs to the tedium of the content.

>Because it's necessary to actually construct a full sized expansion, you total moron?

Somehow doesn't apply to everything else hmm..

it's almost like the most labour intensive parts of a videogame developed by professionals really do require more TIME and MONEY thrown at them to raise the level of quality.. hmm..

Didn't read the rest of your post lol

Remember, it's okay when only a handful of the playerbase attempts savage or ultimate because it's content we like.

Somehow, you don't understand how it takes more time to make something larger than to make something smaller. Your inability to apply even the most basic logic is astounding.

>"licensing" issues
But its their music isnt it

>only a handful
still like twice as much as Eureka lmao

>Don't forget they charge $3 for an Orchestrion Roll of songs that costs $0.99 outside of XIV's cash shop and people on the forum and Reddit defend it with "licensing" issues that SE needs to deal with.

And now you have people, or at least one guy, in this thread trying to defend retainers because they "increase the cost of servers". Get a fucking clue dude, let me just go make a few hundred trial accounts and force XIV to close because they can't keep up with the server costs of keeping my trial accounts/characters alive.

Does that mean eureka weapons are rarer than ultimate weapons
>raiders btfo

what body piece is that?

What were we talking about again? OH right, how professional time and effort has nothing to do with the quality of the output and "extremely dedicated long-term players" should be most thankful for resized boss made mount consisting of cube, sphere and triangle.

People need to be aware that while Savage content does cater to a minority the same content itself is used to make content that further expands to the normal playerbase thru means such as cutting mechanics and such to provide the story aspect of the game. Meaning even if the current clear rates of Savage are around par with Eureka clear rates the amount of use for the assets and the overall community approval highly outstrips that of Eureka.
>inb4 dev resources between raids and Eureka
Eureka also has the detrimental effect of taking the non-raiding dev resources that would normally be split into the more casualize content players do outside of raiding and solely dedicated it to the 4 instances with the 2nd one being the overall population killer meaning a good chunk of the population has been left with nothing outside of the NM/24-man raids and the same 3 dungeons per patch.
Possibly, rarest probably being the Machinist Eurekan Weapon

I know the meme is dead but can somebody please post the "fuck mhiggers" aymeric

It is but tell that to Reddit and the Forums. Hell at this rate if Yoshida wants to push away more negativity towards the cash shop all they need to do is always release everything on China/Korea first and you'll have "But it came out for them so we have to pay cause license issues"
Never doubt the stupidity of someone who willingly accepts F2P tactics in a P2P game

Depends, a lot of Eurekan weapons are likely raiders looking to make sure they have a BiS weapon once its relevant

>OH right, how professional time and effort has nothing to do with the quality of the output and "extremely dedicated long-term players" should be most thankful for resized boss made mount consisting of cube, sphere and triangle.
Yes, this is perfectly accurate summation and your attempt at deriding it fails entirely. Thank you for your concession.
>Please look forward to the highly detailed, multi-seat, mogstop mounts! Only $30 for each!
Further hilariously, the most detailed and multi-seating mount ever (FFXV's Regalia) is almost certainly not going to be on the mog station for a long time.
