Pretty much sums it up. xiv is the most stable mmo with a decently high population on the market too. Not as likely to be hyper inventive and strike gold but also not as likely to straight up blow-up and die over one patch/expansion.

You mean skeleton. Very few things add new skeletons which is cost-saving as usual, but it also makes sense because they're proven by years of testing to not break.

Tolkien dwarves were based on jewish caricatures. They were insanely greedy and insular. XIVs lalafell, based on tarutaru, are a distinctly japanese take on dwarves. By definition, dwarfs are just small people.

I guess I should've expanded that
>classes that have some form of customization involved
Like a skill tree or specs, or even having the cross class system. Each class is unique in how their rotation plays out, even though each of their general playstyles are pretty set in stone (casters all have a cast-bar, ranged are all instant, melee are all instant with combos). That being said, if you're looking for customization outside of how your character looks (and not even what spell effects you use, literally just how you look), then XIV is terrible. For example, I like sword/board classes - the only sword/board class in XIV that I can play is PLD. And I can only tank, and there's only one playstyle for me at 70 (Holy Spirit spam while building MP). It's not bad, but I personally don't like it.

If you want classes that are all balanced around each other, so you can just pick one you like to actually play instead of a class you like the look of/like to play, then XIV is honestly one of the best in the market for it.

It's pretty bad by MMO standards, actually. All the things that MMO fans love about MMORPGs are absent, except maybe player housing. Player housing is neat. The music is also good. Everything else is trash.

I think the biggest problem is that the game more or less plays itself. There's little to no thought required to play. All jobs/classes are incredibly straightforward; you don't have to think about choosing the right skills or the right stats, by endgame it's completely mindless and the rotations are so blatantly designed to be used in a specific way. Some of them are fun, but only for a little while before realising that you're just playing simon says with the devs. You're never encouraged to think about how to play or what to do, just do the rotation and follow the next quest arrow and get the higher iLvl gear like a zombie.
A close second is the world design. The world is barren, and once again, doesn't give you things to do. Maps, including overworld maps, are all hallways and bowls. Sometimes there's a beast tribe hub where you go to do dailies which involve more monotonous combat, but it's not common. As a result, the world feels incomplete. The game has gorgeous skyboxes, but they're just fucking skyboxes on the other side of invisible walls. I don't feel like I'm standing in Eorzea, I feel like I'm in a monster hallway in a video game. The best comparison to FFXIV's map/level design is FFXIII. Yeah, let that soak in. I'd even argue it's worse because FFXIV makes you go back more.
Personal gripe, but it's also annoying how simple the endgame raiding content is. I get that it's an MMO on consoles so they want all the content to be able to be completed using muscle memory and a youtube guide while high as balls, but it's REALLY simple shit.

Beast races are Spoken, though.

HOLY SHIT

Nobody knows

You can argue that they "don't matter", but that's because the dev team made them not matter. Just like how "dungeons are terrible, who cares about 4-man content" is such a shit counterargument to people wanting savage dungeons. Just because they're terrible because the dev team refuses to change up their formula for something better doesn't mean that's all that it needs to be.

Just like how BLM is now a Fire IV machine, instead of using all of the elements. Or how SMN just summons egis instead of having a demi version of each of the primals. Or why the overworld doesn't exist past level cap. That's a conscious design decision on the dev's part, and has solutions. But those solutions also bring up other problems.

NIN is only simon says if you're autistic and freak out about muh deeps. It's literally a class designed around fixing other party members' mistakes and working out what would be most effective for the next ten seconds rather than a straightforward rotation. And that's putting aside that you're acting like a fairly static skillset is somehow braindead when the only difference is that you don't wait a day for some turboautist to figure out the meta and then do it yourself.

Answer me lads

Except no, it was consumed by a flood of darkness, that doesn't benefit the Ascians either. There was no rejoining of the 13th shard onto Hydaelyn. It's just lost.

Also the 13th was not destroyed. It is still very much there, just dark fucked. 7 others however HAVE been destroyed.

The thing about class customization is that if you're going to have different playstyles you might as well make them different classes and there's no difference. A game could have three classes with three build paths each, or it could have nine separate classes, and the actual gameplay would be the same.

Isn't Finna just Gonna because some fat nigga hit the f and i button instead of the g and o?

For content that matters? He's right. The game could, and should, have savage 24 mans. Most of the time spent on these raids is because of art assets - making and tuning savage versions would be a very good use of resources. You could make the gear from there drop 5-10 item levels higher than 8 man, or even just provide cosmetic rewards like mounts or their armour sets dyeable - which would be more than enough of a reason to make people run it.

As it stands, FFXIV is incapable of making proper challenging raid content because the small roster size means that all mechanics have a small pool of players to target which results in shit always hitting the same people every time, and makes every fight a dance - yes, even Ultimate. Ultimate itself is not difficult content, it is tedious. There is a reason why boss fights should not go above 10 minutes, and time has proven that any group of shitters can clear UCOB or UWU if they throw themselves at it long enough. Congrats, they just cleared a fight by pulling it half a thousand times so every single thing was just muscle memory.

he used it properly though

Look it up yourself and then figure out why you're an illiterate retard.

This is something I don't get. The Void is lost and it can't be used.. so how the fuck do they plan to summon Zodiark? Wouldn't ANY world being unable to be used mean that the ritual is seriously fucked and at best he would reincarnate permanently gimped?

ELBST

If you think about it, we was meant to always have the 24 man raids before the 8 man savages, but CT was delayed from launch to 2.1 and they needed to push Coil out early to compensate but it was still broken mess.

We was meant to get a steady ilvl progression every patch instead of Highest ilvl then next patch only includes a lower ilvl gear. Making the 24man irrelevant for peoples mains.

Maybe the ascians are retards

It may be that they don't necessarily need all reflections to be absorbed for it to be possible for them to awaken Zodiark.

Funny thing about this is that technically its working, at least for me. This is because all Blizz cares about right now is eeking out one more sub from people at a time, because thats roughly how long each of these patches last. I'm interested in dipping my feet in the social waters of FFXIV but I've been playing WoW with my work buddies for a little over a month and a half now and with the new update coming up I can't bring myself to commit to playing FF more seriously.

Though I look forward to burning through the 8.2 content in 2-3 weeks and relegating all time spent playing WoW to the weekends with friends to enjoy FFXIV throughout the week.

Yeah, it seems like an incredible waste of resources to not have savage alliance raids. BA proved that there is a desire for larger raiding even if it itself was not tackled well. As it stands for anybody that actually plays the game, Alliance raids are "one run and done" on their release unless you want the armour glamour or stuff for alts.

I don't think this particular point has been addressed yet in the story, but I think the fact that the Ascians are proceeding with the plan anyway despite knowing what happened to the 13th shard ables us to deduce that they don't actually need all the shards to rejoin with the source to be able to revive Zodiark, they only need enough of them to weaken Hydaelyn.
As for whether it affects the eventual power of Zodiark or not, we do not know at this point.

I feel it's the opposite, that you can't have challenging mechanics because we already have too many people. The difficulty tends to only exist because you have to rely on 7 other jokers to be in the right spot at the right time. Mechanics themselves are trivial when you realize you only need to be concerned about where YOU stand, but the odds are failure are multiplied exponentially when one other person can fuck the whole thing up. 24-mans are ultra simplistic for that reason. It's all based on probability, and adding more people doesn't actually increase the difficulty of personal execution, just the degree of total failure. And I think that's ultimately a formula for disaster in a game where players have little control over the flow of battle in the first place.

I think the 4-person avenue is worth exploring more, particularly because of the MH event. Dungeons may trivial as a base example, but I don't think they were ever utilized properly. As for multi-man raids themselves, I think 3 Light parties (12 players total) is much more manageable, while still maintaining multiple layers of role mechanics (Tank Swaps, Marker placement, etc).

So is there a reason why rabbitgirl and furfag is the last playable character being added?

seems out of blue to say "these are the final final classes we are adding to the game"

Living Liquid is a giant soda man so everyone calls him Pepsiman

yoshi said the game will stop getting updated in 3-4 expansions

Pretty sure they're the last races in the setting unless we start getting playable beast tribes (not happening) or some goofy shit like Mammets

Isn't that plenty of time to add at least one new race?

I’m never going to play anything other than midlander anyways so it’s ok

Because they take a lot of effort to make.
Poor babies :(

Beast tribe race fills a niche. Viera had huge player demand. What else is there to add?

oh thanks I get it

It's not that it's easy, it's that the more people you add to further the fights leave your scope.
I'd rather light party savage than 24.

Because of the way they make gear. Your character doesn't just 'put on' gear. The game literally switches out THE ENTIRE CHEST model of your character and puts in a new chest body part, but this time with the gear you like. This is how it works for all gear with FFXIV characters. So each time they add a new piece of gear, they have to model it for EVERY race with EVERY character customization. Now, they've streamlined it so it's not all done from scratch, but it's still a lot of work to add in all that old gear and the new gear that keeps on being added to new races.

it means they are in shutdown mode and won't invest more money than they already have spent for shadowbringers
all money is getting funneled for other projects

They've been perpetually understaffed apparently, Squeenix seems to be pushing more resources to 14 now that 15's development is finally dead though.
They've had a "NOW HIRING" banner on 14's JP website ever since Yoshi P took over.

>So is there a reason why rabbitgirl and furfag is the last playable character being added?
Because every piece of gear needs to be readjusted to fit on new models. The more player models you have the more gear models you have to create.

This makes sense since their main labor market is Japan whose overall population, not to mention its workforce population or video game tech workforce population, has been in decline since 2000. If you're a Western developer, you can literally pull talent from the entire world.

Tbh I like this game better than WoW because the gear and character models looks so much better

More effort than SE is willing to give the devs time and money for. All existing gear has to be redesigned whenever they introduce a new race, leading to the current situation where Viera and Hrothgar can't use most headgear, and unlockable hairstyles are unavailable to them.

If you're highly educated in tech in anyway anywhere on the face of the earth, you probably know SOME English or enough to get by. That makes it vastly easier for labor to move towards Western development studios rather than Japan's, though I imagine Japan is the second largest language knows in the video game development world, unless you count Chinese but China's kind of a closed market.

Blizz would've been smart to start working on WoW2 a few expansions ago to try and get out from under the weight of and old engine and years of questionable game design decisions

Play a Lala or min height Raen and pretend.

So it's not been outright stated that only 1 more is enough?

That sounds way too vague to me to confirm anything, although it would be weird for hooded cat dude to be so frantic about summoning us and our pals even when our hands are completely full trying to repel a Garlean invasion, if it was anything less urgent.

Yes.
Please spend some time with poor people, you'll learn a lot about how they see the world and act.

Its the other way around, you'd be expected to know Japanese to work full time in Japan for a Japanese company

Most Japanese children have been widely educated in reading and writing English for decades now. But they don't speak it well because who do they need to ever speak it with? And so that still makes it difficult as a non-Japanese speaker to work in Japan since English is a secondary language rather than the main one.

With how long FF development takes these days it looks like every 3rd game is gonna be an MMO that lasts about 10 years

It’s pretty good but it’s got problems, the big one being an inordinate amount of single player content for a multiplayer game. Even if you’re willing to spend the time to catch up to the end game, you could also play multiple different other games instead that probably won’t waste your time as much. But if you’re dead set on playing an MMO, then this is likely the best one to do it. I did a review, if you’re interested:
youtu.be/9KZbjAmYRRQ

Also, the gameplay is getting a severe overhaul in the next expansion this Friday. Hopefully it’s gonna be for the better but I’m afraid that it’s going to get casualized even further for the most part, which is a bad move.

I have one question for you since im not going to read all that shit.
In a situation when referring to your player character or player characters in general, what shorthand slang do you specifically use?

The subtext of my post that you seemed to miss is that races need a reason to be added.

>WoWfag seething
Your post is half absolute lies and half things that you say are bad that are actually good.
The only truth is that leveling is atrocious and I agree with you.

I'm retarded please tell me how to rotate tank cooldowns for trash pulls

Oh no a spell you click once at the start of the dungeon and never again. I hope you complained when they removed Shell and later Stoneskin too.

Just do whatever feels right.

All you do in wow is gear then gear then pvp to gear then gear some more.
At least in ffxiv you can do other shit.

fucking kill yourself for shilling your retarded video here

To advertise the expansion.
To say "look, new dolls, don't you want this, isn't it cool?"
AKA, same reason they added the Au Ra, but with 1/5 as much actual work. Lilites are literally just different heads/hair for Lalafell.

Leveling is easier than any other MMO I've played though. Literally play any dungeon once or twice to get a level and after 2 or 3 levels you're off to the next one. Combine that with roulettes for a guaranted 2 or more levels a day.

Just pull everything and use them one after one wears off. It's not fucking hard.

A DRK can also make use of TBN and WAR wants to use Vengeance with IR since it makes all the counter attacks DH Crit too.

Press one, when that ends press another. Or don't if your dps is good.

Someone isnt a normie for thinking Lalas are weird.

Asmongold literally said classic will be dead because its taking too long to come out and people are already fucking back off to private

Easier doesn't mean it isn't torturing. But I'm biased, I hate leveling in any kind of MMO right now.
I just played too many RPGs and MMOs I guess.

Head pieces for Viera.

What's the best armor for larping as a SAM with DRK

You'll be able to rotate rampart + convalescence with your stronger damage reduction for most pulls

be ready for Edmont to die of an undisclosed japanese disease about halfway through the restoration

user we’d stop doing baby pulls if everyone wasn’t so shit at this game and the healers could actually be relied on

> the shitstorm that happened because discord thought lala porn was considered toddler porn?
Can you even use this as justification considering they were banning that but babyfur was okay to them? Furries are fucking hypocrites.

Your parry and "can't be crit" cooldowns get exponentially stronger the more mobs there are on you

Genji fending set with Odenta.
There's no other option.

Same. I get that Viera are in since they’ve always been popular, but Hrothgar has been a big and stupid surprise. I’m still upset that we go these dumb dragon/people race and no Burmecian. At least Azime Steepe is fucking cool.

Actually, he has points.


>XIV-lets claim their game was more complex than WoW and even though it was never the case to begin with, the game only gets more and more simple with pruning reaching a peak in Shadowbringers
From a shear gameplay standpoint, this is correct. You might argue WoW has simpler rotations, but they play faster, have more to react to, aren't static in a lot of cases, and raids are more chaotic.
>XIV has the worst open world of any modern MMO and every piece of non-instanced content is grabage
True. Loading screens behind every zone make the world feel disjointed, and there's no world content except hunts.
>No need to group for anything outside of instanced content
True, you can get full credit on aforementioned hunts by playing tank without a group.
>Leveling is absolutely fucked
True, the fact you can hit a "level gate" in the MSQ is very frustrating.
>Gear is absolutely atrocious with no unique effects or set bonuses, everything that you can equip is just a stat stick with no choice
The worst part is that set bonuses exist on GC gear, but are never made a point of. I'll play the same every patch of every tier in FFXIV, but even like a trinket or set bonus can change how I play in WoW.
>No gameplay customizability like Talents, Traits, ascensions or anything like that
Game doesn't need it, but interesting gear could allow customization.
>PvP is absolute shit
Worst PvP I've ever played in an MMO. 3 player BGs will always end the same way, and the netcode is horrendous - there's no counterplay and it's all just hoping you can surprise and outburst a healer.

FFXIV's strengths are in its side content and presentation though, as someone who played both WoW and FFXIV since launch.

>Pedo screeching that people find his degeneracy disgusting

Probably more than 10 years simply because the MMO genre has a very high barrier to entry and it's also very uncompetitive. There's only WoW and FFXIV in the subscription based MMO market and a bunch of other B2P/F2P ones. With WoW still going relatively strong 15 years after launch, I would say FFXIV's life span, especially with the 3-4 expansion estimate, puts it at up to 16 years until it hits maintenance. That means a new FF MMO might not release until the 12th or 14th year of the old FF MMO.

Is it worth playing mechanist now just to see how radically different the job is in 5.0? Cause i'm definitely interested in the latter iteration

I guess it would get tedious if you were leveling classes just for the sake of leveling but if you only do it for stuff you actually want to play it takes no time at all to hit the cap. Especially for the classes that start at 50 and up.

genji looks bad on female au ra, most armored stuff looks bad on females, are there no robes?

I love the place for its armor, the chocobo hunter/viking gear is top notch and I have every set, but god help you with randoms against the boss.
The meteor drops that hit everybody but the tank when you have people that have never encountered the mechanic is just rough. Anytime I get that dungeon randomly I expect to wipe against the boss if I see a leaf.

What the fuck is wrong with Blizzard

I've played a bit of healer along with DPS and but still can't tell if someone is bad unless DPS regularly steals enmity from them or something, hopefully once I start on WAR or DRK this becomes more obvious

fuck you it's the most underage looking race that's not lala so I have no other choice

>"I've never been inside an Ultimate!"

>raids are more chaotic
IMO this is a bad point. It's not fun wiping in WoW because too many of your healers had to deal with an ability, and clearing a fight can sometimes mean "Those few idiots werent targetted this time round". At least in FF everyone has to contribute and it's not down to RNG.

>True, you can get full credit on aforementioned hunts by playing tank without a group.
Bit of a stretch

>trinket or set bonus can change how I play in WoW
Again I think this one is mixed. Talking about Legion for example, if you got a shit legendary first time you were fucked, and you just fell behind for no reason other than luck. It's less now with Azerite traits but it's still really broken. WoWs gearing at the moment rewards luck far too much, and getting unlucky means you're doing shit compared to others. That's just not a good thing.

I think some other things like loading zones don't matter but I think that's more down to the person. Everyone I know teleports everywhere so you'd get loading screens anyway.

If you don't see one of their mitigation buffs up on trash most of the time they're probably not doing their job right

If DPS steals enmity from tank, then it's the tank who sucks.

Stoneskin had an actual gameplay element to it since it worked as shields you can apply in combat.

You think it's worth keeping in one spell for one fight? It's not. Also you didn't mention whether you cared about Shell or not?

>customization
Too bad that unless you're very bad at the game and/or want to get carried you'll always want X talents and X trinkets and whatever to deal the maximum amount of DPS/healing you can, so customization is absolutely worthless in this kind of games. In comparison XIV is the most balanced MMO I ever seen, literally no one kicks you from parties from using X class unless you're aiming for World first clears or some shit. While on WoW sometimes you can't use entire CLASSES for 1-2 patch cycles because they deal less than 70% damage than other ones. Why neither of you talked about this? It's the absolutely worst thing about WoW.
>raids are more chaotic
Yeah that's why DeadlyModBoss exist to literally tell you how to do every single mechanic. So no, raids are not that chaotic.
>rotations
Yeah true "faster GCD" means that pressing 3 buttons non-stop is harder than pressing 30 of them in a specific order than, apparently, 95% of the times people can't even get right.

If I remember right it just wasn't mana efficient at all and realistically wasn't needed. I'm sure before they did eventually take it away they stopped you doing it in combat but I might just be remembering incorrectly. Either way, it never really had much wider use than "Press before boss pull". You could do it but why would you?

For years I've been sprinting as soon as Protect completes and pulling wall-to-wall. The number of times healers have failed at this is less than 10. This isn't because they're more skilled than you think, healing is just outrageously overpowered.

You can't make "Classic WoW" in a retail setting, it doesn't work.

A worrying amount of dungeon roulette runs come down to me and the tank desperately trying to kill the boss with ~40% left to go.
And the other DPS is always some rangecuck who manages to eat every mechanic despite playing a role that literally ignores mechanics because they don't need to stuff their nose up the boss's ass to kill it.

Is that how it works? I hardly even have any subscribers or views and I know I never will. I just want to make reviews and recommendations.

Get off Yea Forums and actually play the game, the FC is basically dead.

>muh buff I set and forget

>unless you're aiming for World first clears or some shit.
Not even then. Some world first party had a DRK iirc, and when asked why he said he just liked playing it.

Nobody gives a fuck.

I think how it was sucked. I'd prefer it as a cooldown but as it was it sucked. And like this guy says WHM is the healer class for the mentally deficient so you can't have that many buttons.

>play and learn new class
>now can't ignore when other players are being retarded, like an ACN that never Aetherflows, or use their DoTs, or DPS that never AoE
I almost want to go back

The only good tank is you, and maybe that one fucking badass decked out in Kojin armor.
No exceptions.

HOW DARE SOMEONE PLAY BECAUSE THEY LIKE A JOB

its shit, the only people who like it are ERPers and people who are fans of final fantasy regardless if its a phone game or a WoW clone.

Don't post it on Yea Forums. Your name is Anonymous for a reason.

>EU wow is mixed
No french, german, uk servers = not the orginial classic, period, classic is dead on release.

Why should I play this game over Classic WoW?

Hell, why play it over BfA?

>WHM is the healer class for the mentally deficient
you have 4 buttons for ast, that's less than WHM
AST dps "rotation" is the most stupid thing to ever exist

More like "how the fuck do we bind this much shit to a controller"?
It's probably the main reason why they never go above 3 action bars worth of shit

Don't you need an active WoW sub to play the Classic beta? Maybe their sub expired and they just never renewed. Blizzard is pretty stupid to demand $15 per month to play a 15 year old version of the game. Private servers do it for free and even other official old school MMOs like OSRS have a F2P option.

You hated WHM's one and only shield?
It's KINDA moot now Benis exists but it's on a CD.

Stoneskin was absolutely mandatory for a lot of tankbusters during ARR progression, you simply didn't have enough CDs frequently enough to make everything survivable with just Adlo.
Still had some utility in HW, but by then the extended toolkits made extremely hard hitting tank busters less of a threat and fights changed to more frequently occuring consistently high damage, so while it lost some of its value for healers PLD still had lots of application for it via cross-class.

Confirmed for not only never even attempting to play AST, ever, you were too lazy to even read up on what abilities AST have.

I hate when people bring this up. Nobody ever claimed you can't finish content on any job. It doesn't matter if its world first either. That doesn't negate a meta existing. Had the guy played a better tank they probably could have done it even faster. But they didn't need to.

>ability bloat, too many buttons to press, it might overload the poor WHM's mental capacity
I don't follow. Only job I've seen bitching over E4E, protect, and other things are SCH mains, sometimes AST mains too because they hate to use those actions

No.

AST DPS is called Balance and proper Star usage.

to this day I don't think I'll ever truly understand what inspires people to not even hit defensive cooldowns or aoe buttons

shit I don't even care if you're inefficient it's just super fucking strange coming from the wowfugee background and see people completely neglect it entirely

Yeah man, it’s fucking absurd. If I had at least a couple of friends to play the game with then it wouldn’t be so bad but it’s so anti-conducive to co-op play. You either rush through the story and turn progression into a chore, or everyone goes at their own pace and only does the multiplayer content once every five hours. I’m hoping that Casualbringers ends up being the nail in the coffin for me because I’ve about had enough of this shit.

Actually good story
Better music

That’s why I’m enjoying it so far at least

Stay there.

I need advice Yea Forums. I wanna start leveling a tank now that I have a healer and DPS at 70 but I'm a brainlet. I like the look and style of DRK but it might be too complicated for a WHM main such as myself.
Does DRK demand an actual precise rotation because if so I might just level PLD instead.

The point is that meta doesn't need to exist when not even world firsters care.
It's pointless to obsess over meta in this game is the point. I'm sorry you're too stupid to get this, but that's your problem.

Fuck off shill.

Simply put: it's only the best because everything else is shit. It's like being the least offensive piece of trash in the garbage heap.

because the game doesn't really punish you for not popping CDs in trash pulls and the community is way too hesitant to call it out
i make a habit to give sprouts some tips if they're visibly struggling or using shit gear but sometimes people just go full on defensive and call you an elitist; it's the hugbox mentality that brought this about

i know i have a bad habit of not using cooldowns because i think i may need it for later.. and then it turns out i wouldn't need it then either. I think its my experience with EQ1 that fucked with me there, since buttons could have legitimately 72 min cooldowns over there.

proper star usage meaning wait at least 10 secs?

There is a difference between a meta (which will always happen in any group based game), and "this spec is WORTHLESS right now" like what happens so often in WoW and other MMOs. Like christ, remember how Survival Hunter used to be? Subtlety Rogue outside of PVP? Ret Paladins?

DRK is becoming ultra braindead once the expansion drops, so no worries there. Besides, it's fucking tanking. Tanking in this game is a fucking joke.

Tanking in this game is fun user

>open world
Personally I don't give a fuck, I seriously don't understand why people screech so hard to "muh loading screens". The only time they get annoying is in cities like Limsa where the city is splitted in two thanks to the fucking PS3 limitations. Open world content is worthless to me too, and I learnt this from GW2. Open world content is always baby-tier level and so, in my eyes, an absolute waste of resources. Everything of this was my personal opinion but all of you who praise Open World content are either people who never put a step in difficult content in any game, which is the FUN content, or simply didn't play GW2 enough.

Also I don't get it, everything you listed as bad in XIV is 1000 times worse on WoW. So you're saying WoW is the worst MMO on the market? Well you're right. It's dying in fact, how peculiar.

>its a "DRG that never AoE's" episode
WHYYY

Attached: 1546141961800.jpg (514x343, 29K)

It has the most interesting AoE rotation right now but it'll be braindead in 4 days don't worry about it.

People are generally horrible at this game and have no idea what's going on. Some BRD asked for help the other day saying they think their barrage usage was wrong, turned out they had about 70% uptime on dots.

The meta doesn't need to be practiced by world firsters because they are so good they don't need it. Meta helps midtier players get past certain barriers by statistically being the best setup. Obviously godly players don't need to strictly follow the meta to succeed.

PLD completely unironically has a higher skillceiling than DRK.Significantly lower skillfloor though for sure.
DRK takes some getting used to to play at a really basic level since no other job really builds and spends resources in a similar way. Once you have a solid grasp of that you are already pretty much golden though.

Keep in mind that in 4 days DRK will become basically braindead and easier to play than even WAR, so putting the effort in to learn it now is probably not really the wisest use of your time

I don't even like WoW, but the way they fucking cling to assmunchgold is sad as fuck. I'm glad FFXIV doesn't have the same streamer cancer everywhere else does yet, it's only a matter of time even though Mr Happy is trying his fucking hardest to be relevant

DRG has an AOE?

Pretty much nobody says this "This job is entirely worthless" shit outside of Yea Forums and /vg/. In reality very few groups ever restrict certain jobs and typically they're a huge red flag.

Which tank will to the least and most aoe damage

It's the least bad mmo on the market

Stay there 8.2 is coming out and the servers here are too full right now.

Why are people so jealous of Mr.Happy? Is it because he attended the media tour or because I talk to Yoshida regularly?

SAM AoE looks so satisfying, especially after a Hagakure and you've got full bar to just spam your OGCD like a mad cunt. Shame it's not a thing anymore, but the ghetto version we're getting along with the removal of TP more than makes up for it.

I kinda of want to play until Classic WOW. Is Blue Mage in the game? They were fun in FF11

There's actually a bit of open world content in XIV.

>Maps
>Sight log
>Hunts
>Unique Fates

I think what people really refer to is communication. Players feel if they're not directly communicating with others, it's not great content.

In dungeons I usually save them for the boss if we're getting close. Use them if we're not.

>you gain nothing from doing that
I know, but I prefer doing a boss with my cooldowns available. Sue me.

That and using it on CD in the correct locations. AST is big brain compared to WHM but not for the reason most shitters think.

We don't talk about Blue Mage.

It's funny, because the people continously bringing this up have no idea what they are even talking about and completely missing the point.
Both PLD and DRK are pretty equally viable for UCoB, the encounter in question. PLD offers better survivability on Twin, Nael, and the Duet, while DRK gets you considerably higher damage due to how the fight lines up and slightly better personal mitigation during Golden.
What makes it matter even less is that numbers were and are never a fucking issue in UCoB. If you are somewhat compentent that is. It's 99% a mechanics fight, so your group comp barely matters past a certain point.

The boss is the least threatening part of any dungeon. Your cooldowns have far more value on trash.

>because I talk to Yoshida regularly?
I like your baiting style.

Well to create a group for Maps, for example, you have to create a Party Finder and interact a little with people. Every time I join a group for maps with strangers they always talk a lot and I talk too.

People is just lazy or just want to miscredit XIV because they don't like it and don't understand why it's popular.

>Remove Johnny Cash AoE because retards spammed it instead of the higher potency AoE
>Retards now just no longer AoE
It even has a combo now, read you're tooltips.

Honestly I'd say world is the weakest aspect of ffxiv. The whole thing feels very disconnected. Probably because it is. If you open the world map you'll see the areas we get to see are like little pockets of playable regions inside the world map. Going from one area to another just feels like crossing instances it doesn't really feel like you're traversing a world.

I'll have you know i've mastered the gunblade in Dissidia NT and can nail every JUST input and I've collected every triple triad card in FF8. You faggots will make me look bad.

It's not about what's threatening, it's about having more fun by doing a boss when I actually have my tools at my disposal. It's a dungeon for fuck's sake, nothing is threatening.

If we're approaching the boss I WILL hold on to my cooldowns.

>I think what people really refer to is communication. Players feel if they're not directly communicating with others, it's not great content.

There was content like that and discord babbies kept reporting everyone not in their club for trolling if they tried to do it.

afk mobile games are better than this piece of trash

This game is boring as shit. You must have brain damage or some form of autism to find it engaging in any way.

Traversal isn't what you want. You want exploration.
But you can't recreate the explorative feeling that offline games have in an MMO.

They aren't obliterating anything with their games anymore.

Meant to reply to

The amount of loading screens certainly ruins the feeling of a true game world. That and an incredibly fast day/night cycle.

The best MMO is still EVE online, despite going to seed, is still the only one that still emphasizes player interaction as the core of the gameplay, rather than just raising numbers in a database.

What is your favorite video game made in the last 15 years user

Have you ever played WoW?
In the beginning of Legion if you played any spec of Warlocks you couldn't join a damn single party without getting insulted and kicked from the group.
It's not Yea Forums or /vg/, it's the absolutely terrible community that does that.
And to be fair, they're right. They're not at fault. Why would you accept in your group an absolute piece of garbage deadweight class? The fault is on Blizzard for being absolutely stupid idiots at balancing the game.

nice bait, but its because he's helped cultivate a culture within the game where you aren't allowed to learn game mechanics, instead you must regurgitate shit that mrhappy or some other retard online spouts. from the "Skip Soar or bust" crowd during HW to the abysmal mrhappy Tsukiyomi strats, it makes the content actually worse than if people were just trying to learn on their own.

Just change to PvP style combat instead of removing more things every expansion. GIVE ME BACK AION COMBO SYSTEM.

Attached: combooooooos.png (899x809, 335K)

Expansion zones are shit and flying removes any sense of scale they could have had, never mind how unnaturally square they all feel.

If you actually pay attention in ARR zones, despite them being segmented you can often see landmarks from the adjacent zones, which gives them a great sense of scale. La Noscea is best example of this.

This is the next problem: Players THINK they want all this shit, but when you implement it, it all falls apart because, as always, people go for the optimal path.

Nigger, by the time you need that cooldown on a bossfight it will have refreshed anyway even if you used them all on the last pack. People tend to overestimate how long those cooldowns actually are.

Depends on your definition of "in the game".
Yes, it is, but you can't do anything above level 50 with it, and you can't use the duty finder.

>Traversal isn't what you want.
It helps give a feeling you're playing in a world, so it is important to me. That feeling is one I don't have in XIV for regions I already explained. It is probably my sole complaint with what is my favorite MMO.

Is there any way to put chat bubbles above player's heads when using /say or party chat? Having none really makes the game feel silent, like every player is a mute.

You don't need to justify why you're a shitter, user. I already know.

Why not?

Its only level 50 24mans, but spamming it with my DRK has really showed me how a tank can fuck up. Tank stance spamming enmity combos, DPS stance spamming enmity combos, no cooldowns. It really opened my eye to how much I forgot could go wrong.

No, what they really mean is that they remember in FFXI and Classic WoW, there were multiple situations all the time where talking to others natually presented themselves, like encountering difficult quests, enemies, talking during dungeons, trying to organize a party, etc.
In this game, you don't need to do that and even if you said "hi", you would be a weirdo.

There is no logistical reason to fuck with the GCD besides to make it easier.

I fucking hate WoW's community. Go play ESO of PSO2.

I've raided in wow since TBC and done mythic raiding since it was put in the game and played ffxiv since 1.0 and it's entirely accurate.
both statics I've played with in ffxiv, everyone gets to know each other and people stay close friends even when we decide to take a break or disband.
in wow, every raid just settles into little cliques, each of which tends to start despising everyone else in the raid and thinking themselves better while shit talking the people fucking up mechanics wipe after wipe.
there's just too many people in wow raids to let everyone be as friendly and cordial as ffxiv's smaller raid size. like the difference between hanging out with your friends vs hanging out with co-workers.

user that means additional updates as in more things with launch, not later updates.

ff14 players calling another game "dead" oh that's rich.
Lemme know when you fix that inane quest bloat after ARR and before HW that forces newbies to either poopsock fetchquests to get to the content they paid for, or buy a level jump potion just so they can enter the raid treadmill, pop estrogen pills and uwu at eachother. Fucking pathetic.

To be fair BFA world quests and the attack/defend missions are basically the same thing as fates

lmao now this is a cope post

Enkindle and Enkindle Bahamut don't need to be separate buttons

It’s shaping up to be the tank with the most intricate rotation. Everyone else has some form of an Inner Release/fell cleave like rotation now. There might be some adjustments at launch, so it's hard to say if it’ll be fun or if it’ll be SB DRK.
I liked SB DRK but most apparently did not.

It's sad that you have to make your shit game look better by putting others down. It really is like trying to be the least offensive piece of trash in the garbage heap. For the record I don't play WoW either. Every reply to this post is a coping faggot with a chip on his shoulder because of WoW, as pointed out.

it doesn't give exp so unless you want to re-examine a specific scene or remember something not in the inn book, it's useless.

>why can't you use cooldowns properly in a dungeon?
Are you ESL? I already typed why. How is it my fault you have trouble with reading comprehension? How does a person fail to read so hard they ask a question that was already answered in the very post they replied to?

>It's got nothing to do with respecting the content, if anything using them on trash allows you respect it less.
But it does. You're telling me to not do what I enjoy doing because I have to try hard so we can finish the dungeon 5 seconds earlier and because "the boss is not threatening". You're telling me to go full optimal at the cost of fun for minimal gains in what is merely a dungeon run. It sounds like you're trying to compensate for something with this attitude. I have to wonder what.

NG+ was confirmed for 5.1 not launch

>I enjoy being shit so I'm right.
Lol okay buddy.

It's sad that WoWniggers like you are coping so fucking hard.
Shut the fuck up, you conveniently didn't even look at the post they're making fun of.

>This post was written by an addon

nigga ur game is dead no need to do any mental gymnastics lmao

just because early game is a piece of shit doesn't mean the game is dead, they said they'll work on it but wow is unsalvageable

>Paying extra to get less game
Yes the pre-Titan fetch quest extravaganza blows but I'll never get this mindset.

yes, I want that.

>WoW players talking about damage control
