FFXIV: The Chad of MMOs

>And that is not taking taking into consideration that the chinks ALWAYS falsely inflate their numbers to the extreme.
The Chinese government does that for propaganad reasons. Why do you suppose that would affect WoW subscriptions? Is the Chinese national pride so inflated that Ching Chong subscribed 3 times so that China will have the most subscribers? Did the Chinese branch of Blizzard, if there even is such a thing as a seperate entity, inflate those numbers to impress HQ? What do they do once people notice they don't have the profits they hould have?

Is responding to genuine claims with a "u mad xD" reaction the new meta?
I've outgrown this place.

I don't even play WoW, but this is the accurate stats.
OP searched for "search term" and he didn't even pick Game category, this is why it doesn't show the real statistics.

No it doesn't. FFXIV has like half a million at best. WoW is yet to fall under a million.

Chinks, Kikes, Spics, Arabs, and Burgers, all together. How fitting.

Which has the most trannies? WoW or FF?

FF more trannies but WoW more furries.

Because that's how Google trends works, search terms will only show stats for that specific search term but the category will show stats for every search from that category.
Obviously there will be more searches for a short search term like FF14 than for World of Warcraft.
Here's an example to prove how retarded you are.

Really? I thought WoW with its 4 elf races was ahead.

I thought it was 1m active characters. Probably including trials.

FFXIV is THE quintessential faggot MMO. They're drawn to it like moths to a flame.

wasn't there something where their api gave away too much player data and someone was able to figure out how many people played the game? I remember the devs losing their shit and demanding he take everything down after he published the data

wow killed itself. It was a shit mmo, and all the shit eaters never played mmos before WoW so they had a blank slate for standards.

they think that WoW classic will be any good, and then they'll find out it never was good. The reason why other mmos sucked was because they were all WoW clones, copying the same shitty awful design recipe that sucked.

imagine being born in a septic tank, being told to get out of it only to step back into another different septic tank. You thought was originally normal and fine, to be just distasteful. The only thing keeping you shackled down to your original starting septic tank is the time/money/friends put into it.

Removing your time/money/friend investment with a new septic tank just removes all value of putting up with the garbage design it always was. Fuck you cancerous zoomers who grew up on WoW.

literally only trannies play xiv

Yeah the report active characters. So it's bloated. Also

Is absolutely correct. There are a lot of things that XIV does that I actually enjoy. But holy fucking shit the community is worse than Runescape was at peak autism. It's basically a giant safe space bubble for literally trannies, faggots, and weebs where criticizing anyone for being shit at their job is almost a guaranteed ban.

XIV didn't kill WOW though, WOW committed suicide with its first attempt with Warlords and now with BFA

You're comparing the general term "world of warcraft" with 2 specific video game titles. Bait harder my guy

Fucking good, I play games to have fun, not get screamed at by some metagaming autist for not adhering precisely to the most ideal rotation.

Maybe try just giving tips instead of saying what people did wrong. Like look at fighting games, when you lose, opponents just give you tips. In MMOs and ASSFAGGOTS you get called a nigger and a retard and raged at.

Metagaming faggots are second only to ERPers in terms of players who ruin MMOs, but at least ERPers stick to their own circlejerks.

And how could any answer make sense? because Wow just took the existing MMO scheme and casualized it.

>Removing your time/money/friend investment with a new septic tank just removes all value of putting up with the garbage design it always was.

I kept most of my wow friends long after quitting the game. We want to play classic again. None of us were stuck in wow to keep our friends and none of us have to go back. Also expansions remove your time and money investment if you're talking about virtual assets.

WoW doesn't have soul because the playerbase is fucking horrible and it would be insanely difficult to be happy and passionate making a game for a fanbase that dismissed years of hard work because it featured talking Pandas

People shitcanned Cata and Mists and they gave up

>500k total cleared 4.1 main story

It's kind of funny listening to wow players talk about xiv being a safe space hug box when in reality it's just people being nice to each other. So many times there will be wow refugees and they won't just be stupid but also the most cancerous, annoying, faggot assholes possible.

My gf finished Doma castle but still doesn't want to touch the rest of the expansion because she's heard from me what a fucking pain 68-70 is.

It's more like WoW is killing itself more than anything, FF14 just happens to be the best alternative.

why is that something to laugh at? They might be new to the game and leveling through ARR and HW

Is that mother fucking level 1 hogger gnome raid? It better be because that's all classic will have left after the remove everything else

>using "Search Term" instead of the product itself
That's not how trends is supposed to be used. Whenever a product exist, you need to use that category so it encompass all results, like if someone type "wow Blizzard" it'll fall under "World of Warcraft" and likewise if someone just type "wow great" (or something unrelated with "wow") it won't be counted. But most people using google won't bother to type "World of Warcraft" entirely so using Search Term is retarded.

Picture is the proper comparison, XIV got two categories because of the re-release/re-branding SE forcefully pushed. It's still constantly below WoW regardless, even if you add both.

I still can't believe they added in a great wall. It was so fucking hilarious how badly they were trying to pander to the chinese and none of it worked.

Let's be honest here: FFXIV isn't what is killing WoW. Blizzard is killing WoW.

it does feel like two separate player bases. Warcraft fags come to xiv and immediately start bitching about the focus on story or how long leveling takes and why they can't just "skip to the end"

I will say though that I've never heard a xiv fag complain about wow. They just don't give a shit.

>FF14 beats WoW when it's already on it's dying bed thanks to its OWN FAILURES
HAHA YA FF14 IS THE WOW KILLER GUYS! WoW died by its own deeds you retard, FF14 just helped to make the gigantic wound bigger, not to create it to begin with.

WoW is also old. They are both themepark MMOs but I'd say FFXIV is just fresher because it's newer and boomers are bored of WoW.

I prefer shit like EVE and old Runescape personally. I like how player driven things are in those games.

I think the big difference with xiv is that SE managed to actually creates a world with characters that people care about. The player base is invested in something more than their own character

wow wasn't killed, it died of old age

oh no...

You can screech all day about trannies but at least ffxiv has integrity. I'm a wowfugee, wow runs worse graphical performance wise and no longer has the character customization and depth that it used to, and I'm no longer a pvp fan and that would be the only reason now to pick wow over ffxiv. Mythic and savage would be the same challenge wise IF the most engaging wow classes/specs weren't considered in par with ffxiv's dullest. Wow is literally press shit off CD. It's embarrassing what they did to it to try and make an e-sport out of mythic dungeons

make no mistake I like FFXIV actually quite a bit and loathe modern WoW with a passion, but

Luckily XIV doesn't need an addon like that since it's built in with the ground boss special attacks hit being painted orange.

ala mhigo is just a shit place full of retards but it doesn't take that long to get through it

Raids are designed with that in mind, and mechanics are far more complex than "move away from telegraphed spell #3". Also, having 20 people perform perfectly is infinitely harder than just managing 8.
Again, post armory or shut up and go play your baby game.

Like?

Nostalgia pretty much.

Better at cultivating a group of diehard batered wives that have decided to continue to pay a sub despite not having any fun.
Oh and better PvP, WoW does have that.

Better implementation of the transmog system. Better engine (no animation locking). It used to be a good game from 2004 to 2008, while FFXIV, a nu-WoW clone, has never been good, it's simply less bad than 2019 WoW.

trailsfags win again

>being a nostalgiafag
kek

Except for the fact that they've been adding bosses with tells instead of ground indicators. You'd know this if you played it at all past arr.

better pvp, even the boring as shit classes are still more fun to play than FFXIV combat, better animations, actually being open world

ffxiv music cant be beat though.

i just want WoW to steal the good stuff from ffxiv and vice versa so they can both be great games.
why the fuck dont they do this anyway? you KNOW what people like about the games, and you KNOW what people hate about the game so just fuckin take a page out of your competitors books

>ffxiv is just better than wow now!!

No shit, who goes around basing their decision to play a game because it was good a decade ago?

Oh yeah, wowtards.

pvp is pretty much it but if you want pvp and are playing wow you're kind of making a huge mistake

I wouldn't normally call that trivial but considering the addon will literally tell you what's happening and what to do yeah it's pretty easy. You have to remember though that people who play wow are literally retarded so this does seem genuinely difficult to them.

>even the boring as shit classes are still more fun to play than FFXIV combat
If this is about the GCD you do know that XIV jobs require you to do so much weaving of oGCDs that you’re probably hitting more buttons than WoW in th same span of time right?

>he doesn't know the pleasure of fire 4 is so great that blms will die in their circles just to cast it

English, please

>South european, latin american and anglos go for Fornite
>Cucks ,poo and shitposter go for WoW

Also combos. And most classes have haste buffs on top of gear.

And let's not pretend the casting in WoW is fast. Shadow bolt, Fireball, Lightning bolt, all of them are two second casts. An spells like Holy Light for pallies is 2.5 seconds anyway. Not to mention channeled spells like mind flay and drain life etc last 3-5 seconds so you just cast and sit there.

So yeah not having combos or complicated class design in the slightest and having an addon tell you what's happening in the fight makes it hilariously easy. It's one of the reasons I quit wow so many years ago, it's just not fun.

>mechanics are far more complex
I'll admit wow has more complex fights but it trades off with your classes being simple

Despite it being dogshit, WoW itemization is still better.
Having been a WoWfag since BC I still admit FFXIV is a better game now

One thing ffxiv has against it though in terms of difficulty is pretty much unlimited res whereas in wow you get a couple of combat res and those are on huge cool downs. If you have a red mage you can rez anyone without even denting your dps.

>that ending
I've never heard anyone in wow get that excited unless it's a clutch or world first

FFXIV is unironically not competing with WoW nor has it ever had to compete. Only the Japanese market matters, the western market is a happy coincidental bonus in profits.

As someone who heals in xiv please do not go in with that mindset. You can res yes but holy fuck it makes everything so much more difficult. It's the equivalent to getting a continue screen and having the game up the difficulty each time. I prefer it that way but man it doesn't feel like it makes the game easier

turns out the whole "wow has better endgame" is a huge meme

Let's take Mistress Sassz'ine, 6th out of 9 bosses in Tomb of Sargeras, so not the most complex.

The fight is designed around having 5 players take a fish that buffs their damage considerably for 2 minutes, after that time runs out 5 more fish spawn that have to be taken by a different set of 5 players. The catch is, if these players take ANY damage they drop the fish and lose the buff, pre-nerf Sassz'ine required that no buffed player ever lose it before intended, or the damage requirement wouldn't be met.

Every other mechanic in some way damages random people, everyone or kill someone unless taken care of correctly:
- Sassz'ine targets 4 random (unbuffed) players and shoots a spear at them after about 6 seconds. The damage for each spear is shared between everyone that stands between the boss and the targeted player. If anyone takes damage from more than one spear they immediately die. The raid has to split evenly between these 4 players or the spear without enough soakers will kill whoever was soaking it.
- Various murlocs spawn that have to be aggroed/soft-cc'd immediately or they will melee the closest person. Murlocs will also attach to a player, become untargetable and act as a very strong dot, to get rid of it you have to stand on a 4 second stun spell that Sassz'ine casts. When they die they explode into a large puddle that damages anyone on it and also slows the following mechanic.
- A wall of tornadoes spawns at one side of the room and advance to the opposite side, murlocs have to be killed right before the tornado arrives to slow it and open a path to cross. Anyone hit by a tornado pretty much dies. If you had a murloc on you and stand on the 4second stun to get rid of it, you have to position yourself so that in the following 4 seconds you won't get hit by the tornadoes.

And I ran out of space as I finished phase 1. There's two more phases and they only get harder, especially for people with the fish buff, since the room gets VERY messy.

you mean like ACT triggers in FFXIV that also literally call out the mechanics for you? fucking brainlet

...

>not denting your dps
XIV has a rez sickness mechanic for rezzing in combat. You do significantly less damage for the first rez and if you die again before the debuff wears off you'll do basically no damage. You can easily hit the enrage with just a few deaths in savage

but user the western market is now bigger than the japanese market

Attached: 1561076607885.jpg (1343x1800, 945K)

ACT triggers are rarely useful since they're calling out what the boss is casting and we can see that on the cast bar. You don't really need them if you're paying attention.

Not to mention res costs a fuckton of MP.

An individual account can have from 1 to 8 active characters (IIRC for those metrics, characters must have been active during certain period of time, i think 30 to 60 days, and above level 15 or 20), meanwhile an active account is often seen as an unique player

I mean you're acting as if ignoring retarded western fans isn't a good thing.

>Only the Japanese market matters, the western market is a happy coincidental bonus in profits.
I wish the world was still like your delusions, then we wouldn't have ethics departments and widespread censorship.

I'm not familiar enough with FFXIV to compare the complexity of their classes to WoW's, but I seriously doubt the autism of WoW DPS theorycrafters can be surpassed.

Yes, overall the spell priorities in WoW are clear and easy to understand, and you can probably reach a respectable 80 percentile of performance by just adhering to the basic design unless the encounter has some sort of quirk.

Now though, if you want to reach the top percentiles you have to understand and optimize everything you're doing down to each gcd and weapon swing, again except some bosses that get cheesed for DPS.
For example, Mages casting one spell, then blinking forward to cast a different spell before the original one reaches the boss so it retroactively effects the spell you originally cast when it reaches the boss. Shit like this not only required knowledge pretty much nobody except minmaxing autists had, but also required at most 30-50ms of ping or you wouldn't pull it off consistently.

ShB isn't even pruning that many skills, we'll still have the same amount of hotkeys we have atm.

Lots of skills are being deleted due
>system that uses them is being deleted (TP/pets taking damage)
>job is being revamped (MCH skills for example)
>skills are being adapted due to playerbase not using them (aggro combos/tank stances)
>job is being separated from another job (SCH vs SMN with SCH getting their own dots compared to SMN)

>active means they are actually paying at this moment
Wrong
read below:
Correcting myself, according to these metrics the following characters appear here
>character level 36 OR higher
>exp/level changed since february 10
>number of minions/mounts changed since february 10
>owning one or more mounts
>new character since the previous survey
>excluding characters above level 50 without grand company

fucking warframe has more players than pedo fantasy
these threads are just embarrassing, thank god the mods keep deleting them
I am convinced it's a paid shill invasion by SE

Also important, executing your DPS priority list on a dummy is a whole different world to doing it while doing all mythic mechanics properly.
In my years of raiding I've met many many players that got insane DPS parses on nerfed bosses, but when we recruited them and it came to replicating it on a pre-nerf mythic boss where a small mistake fucks you and maybe your whole raid too, these people were often at the bottom of damage meters.

Does wow have a crafting bible with 338 pages?

docs.google.com/document/d/1L1aDMxZOjhdmzsilToDvsrwqfcUOs6NKxhsCBa1IwVQ/preview

Also some healer spergs have spreadsheets to when they should use their ogcd heals so they never ever have to touch their gcd heals.

>pedo fantasy
what the fuck is with you faggots and being obsessed with trannies and pedos?

Most of the influx of players for FF14 are WoW refugees sick of BFA and are waiting for classic. If blizzard sent out more beta keys that graph would look differently.

they make up 100% of xiv's playerbase, it's just an observation

this might be peak autism, this feels like old school mmo shit

doesn't that make you one?

Nah SE doesn't care every time the western market throws a tantrum or wants to kill an MMO or unsub out of protest. It's the most based shit ever.
Abiding by laws to sell the product abroad isn't even the same thing. That's just basic business practice carried out by low pay localization teams. Wanting to kill a foreign product or pander to all the whims of foreign markets, that's the delusional stuff.

no it doesn't it's just tranny shit, go back to /vg/

t. kissless virgin tranny

I can't believe that WoW has less subscribers than FFXIV now.

Crafting and healing is specially designed for autists so you're not wrong

no, I play real games, not tranny fantasia fuckteen

but globally wow still as more subs, are you stupid?

how many of those are WoW tokens and not paid subs?

Stop responding to the autists. Let them seethe in peace

It doesn't. China doesn't pay a sub. They pay by the hour at cafes.

>mfw I'm a faggot who subs to WoW when new content is up and unsubs and hops onto FFXIV

Can't you guys just enjoy VIDEO GAMES without being huge faggots?

Holy fuck I made that right image as a huge shitpost to make wowfags mad. That data is from a notoriously shit website I wouldn't use that as real data.

Addon for sirens and cat meowing when a mechanic comes. Addon for glowing a huge icon when your cooldown is up. Icon blaring sirens when you stand in something bad. Yet still somehow the playerbase remains utterly retarded and fails simple things.

ffxivcensus is the shit website moron. Lucky bancho is the accurate one.

FF unironically died after 10.

MMORPG were a mistake.

No you retarded reprobate, the wowcensus one is inaccurate.

Why did you post a different pic with the same WoW numbers then?

I'm saying I made that image you see posted, I took the WoW data from a notoriously bad website to make WoWfags mad. The image I was replying to ripped from my image.

But that image is better because it still shits on wowfaggos

WoW killed itself.

same graphics since 2004 ...

I'm not saying WoW story is good by any means. But I loatahed FFXIV forced story down your throat. I got to level 50 but I don't remember reading any of that bullshit story. I just didn't enjoy it.

Okay that's decent autism.

For our autists though, spreadsheets were not enough, so they replicated the entire WoW combat system in a program and made up a new scripting language where they could specify their rotation so they could run hundreds of thousands of simulations to simulate every combination of items/trinkets/talents/races to find out the absolute best of each.

Now, Simulationcraft wasn't enough, so they started developing a machine learning system they could leave simulating different rotations to find out what the optimal rotation was too. I think the project died off however, so rotations are still done by hand.

WoWbros nyo..somenyan delete this thread!

On that matter we still have autists doing that manually so I don't even know what's better.
Use machine learning to come up with the best rotation or calculate it by hand every single time a job is changed.

What do you think wow and ffxivs CCU is? I know wows is lower because I worked at blizzard, and FFXIV just broke 1m subs
