What's your excuse for WoW having trash story since 15 years now?

everything went to shit when he left

>since 15 years now?
And you want us to believe your opinion on writing matters?

You need to kys if you think that tbc, wotlk or cata had good stories.
TBC also ruined the lore on its own.

>Decide to give this a try
>Literally can't make a character because none of the servers allow for new characters
Thank fuck i didn't pay for it. What the fuck is this shit

Shadowbringers was written at least in part by a woman

>servers full at launch of new MMO expansion
>this is somehow a surprise
You've got brain problems

Of course servers would be full but why the fuck does that need to stop people from creating new characters? Its the first time im seeing an MMO do this instead of just blocking you from going in or putting you on a queue.

Shadowbringers was good. Actually way too fucking good. I don't think that Square will ever surpass this expansion and it will only downhill after this. Hope that I'm wrong.

I'm hoping we return back to the First right away, I don't want to deal with Zenos until 6.0

Thank Yoshi the free trial exists for cucks like you

Any predictions on the future of the story? My guess is Elidibus jacks one of Solus' clone bodies, convinces Zenos to become Zodiark's champion in the name of helping his "hunt", but actually to further the ascian plan. 5.5 ends with Zenos killing Elidibus, going apeshit, and leading us to Ilsabard.

I keep hearing people we are the Ascian that talked to us while waiting in line, Emet's BFF from the good old days. What evidence is there for this theory?

WoW story has only been trash since 2008. That's eleven years.

>servers full
>not making new overload servers
you're really stretching it brodude

But it's not that bad actually, I spent like 50 minutes refreshing the server availability page until I was able to make a character in the prefered server I wanted. Still incredibly frustrating for people that just want to get into the game because the expansion is being shilled by every mmo related content creator and actual mmo addicts.

The fun part is when newcomers realize they can't skip the story and will spend at least a month slogging through the old content just to get to the new shit when their first free month is close to expiring or expired already.

>slogging through the old content just to get to the new shit
this is exactly the wrong mentality to approach the game with

WoW's story has always been trash ever since they put undead on the horde and night elves on the alliance.

Guild Wars had a good story WELL before FF14 or even FF11

how are you going to lure "new players" to play this new expansion of the game, when they're stuck playing the old content? if the game was worth playing before they would have played it, but they didn't, they got lured by the people saying the new expansion is balls to the wall amazing, people who didn't have to deal with servers being at full capacity since obviously they already had their characters created previously and had already cleared the previous expansions mandatory MSQ.

Imagine playing an MMORPG for cutscenes.

Neither of these games have a good story. Read a book sometime.

I really, really don't want to let go of Emet and how genuinely upset he was when seeing us as who we are, and not who we were.

The past and far, far future are 100x more interesting than what the present on the Source is. Garlemald is interesting but I'm still starstruck by Amarot.

Metzen was pretty much management of the creative department at that point, not really writing.

Theresa Wolf was in charge of writing from WOTLK onward, and Alex Afrasiabi was in charge of quest design.

Don't you start that here.

Thinking about picking up tanking but how does it work in raids in PUGS? Do they whisper to decide MT or does it just randomly happen when one of them goes first? How much of a pro at the game do I need to be to be a tank (can I run a dungeon blind or will I get laughed at)?

Which job do you guys like the most played well?

>Emet is dead
>Elidibus is unironically the Ascians last hope
>the first thing he does after Emet died is run away from a autistic guy with a katana

Imagine.

because that ascian that talks to us is aware its a simulation because emet had a stray thought of "i want him to know the truth" and emet made the simulation to show us the truth

During normal trials and raids, basically it's just whoever puts on tank stance first I've found, unless one of the tanks asks.

During EX and Savage, you'll just quickly talk it over, I don't think there's a tank pull meta. In SB it was generally War gets preference if it's in party, and if not DRK gets preference, since PLD was the worst at generating initial agro with minimal DPS loss.

Whoever puts on their tank stance first. If the other autist decides to put it on too, then style on his ass.

Or be a normal person and ask if the other wants to MT since 90% of the time, they'll want to be "the hero".

Warcraft lore and story has the affect of something a middle schooler scribbled down on the back of a napkin at lunch period.

ooh
thanks

Tanking isn't too scary once you've done it a few times. Agro is basically a nonissue now since tank stance doesn't penalize you anymore, so there's no reason not to have it on during dungeons, and you'll gen so much agro that you'll never lose agro. And your aoe attack no longer has a resource cost, so you can (and should) spam it on any groups of 3 or more.

There is a bit of a jump in difficulty if you start doing big pulls in dungeons, but if you got your cooldowns under control, that's not too bad either as long as your healer is on top of things.

Remember to use Arm's Length on big pulls. Legitimately useful and tanks keep forgetting about it.

So we all agree that Hydaelyn did nothing wrong and that the Amaurotians were compelete fuckups for sacrificing 75% of their population to Zodiark right?

Thanks. I've tried tanking a few dungeons and that wasn't so bad, but it was all the low level dungeons I already know like the back of my hand. If you're not MT in a raid and you're not trying to get the big dick points by out competing the other tank, what do you do? Just dps and wait for adds?

Similarities in his name to Hydaelyn's name as well, and the ancient that Emet-Selch saw when you did the fusion dance with Ardbert; you were getting closer and closer to your original form in his eyes

>Imagine thinking FFXIV is the first mmo to ever have a good story
Man, you zoomers really missed out on Guild Wars and FFXI.

Tanks not using Arm's Length is making me even more upset about losing Shadow Flare.

I am enjoying that even though Hydaelyn and Zodiark may be man made, they are still probably necessary.

Both sides were cucks for turning to idolatry instead of solving their own problems themselves.

>i want him to know the truth
He said it was a stray thought of "he would see through this" , I don't have the direct quote.

Ascian thought power is broken in more bad ways than good just for that one flaw. Doesn't seem out of the question to have thought police somewhere. Like the one who comments on your clothes and how you should be wearing a robe.

It's kinda sad now that everyone went back to going AFK like in game.
I miss the early week when people in shout would be like OH FUCK THIS IS COOL.

He could see Arbert

life is suffering, but this barely qualifies so I think you'll be ok

Whats the best looking gunblade?

I've had that shit incorporated into my normal hotbars instead of my role-action/limit break hotbar ever since I found out there's a slow attached to it now. Holy shit, this thing is Rampart-tiers of useful, and it's a sorely needed cooldown for Gunbreaker.

If you're a OT, you just help DPS and take over if the MT dies or something. Some bosses (mainly extreme and savage where more coordination is expected) will have tank swap mechanics, so you will need to have provoke and shirk ready for when you need to swap. Sometimes you'll tank adds and shit. Really depends on the fight but most of the time, you do help DPS.

>instead of solving their own problems themselves.
How? People were spawning nightmares constantly from their own fears and panicked thoughts.

old japanese women are based though

Slow is probably more mitigation than any of your other cooldowns.

I'll never understand how can people enjoying DPSing but dislike tanking. To me it's completely natural to have it the other way around. As a tank you're already practically doing everything DPSers do, but you also take the charge and control the flow of combat. Can't imagine the RPG Chosen One being anything but the tank.

Which tanks are best at personal mitigation so I don't feel like I need a healer babysitting me?

That's what happens when our mmo is a themepark.
It is the best fucking thing during the first week or two, but then it goes to utter dogshit after everyone had their time on the rides.

Blue Steel

Paladin is the only tank that can actually compensate for healer fuck ups since they can just spam heal if the healer dies.

Nah. I meant people who don't say a single thing in dungeon runs or trials or even in shout.

Just bare emptiness...

Paladin is the best at personal mitigation, gets the most defense-for-equipment bang for buck by virtue of having a shield and the ability to block, and can heal itself with Clemency.

>wanting to play as the jews of Eorzea

Great race, cool animations. If you ever, ever think about playing melee then you're gimping a lot of flavor from the jobs because you won't ever get to see your swings and stuff.

Having finished Shadowbringers, I can't even be mad at the people who don't play MMOs for the story. It's a completely different world. The story exceeds the quality of many, many games released within the last decade, and it's odd that it's in an MMORPG of all things.
I couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon such a great story.

Take the roepill.

I'm not an expert on reality warping but surely they could have at least tried to come up with some way to soothe their own berserking friends. Everything we've seen of them, from those "toys" that guy had us test, to the Lahabrea dungeon, just shows they were literally retarded toddlers with nukes, basically.

>Both PLD
Well I was debating between PLD and DRK so I guess that answers that.

Outside Praetorium, for what purpose? Many people want to get to the next part of the story or their roulette over with. Not stop and talk until the timer runs out. At least with Praetorium you're guaranteed an hour of doing nothing.

Also shout is usually a trash fire. Seek a LS or FC. Always ads in PF.

I'll put my word in for DRK.
But DRK gets you a free 25% shield every 20 seconds provided you have the MP (you should).
It's great for tank busters and massive pulls in dungeons. You can also put it on the MT to get them big bucks.

>tfw rolled Lala for keks orignially
>got too attached to her and now will never change

I really don't understand people who just chug fantasias constantly, feels like you're missing out on a lot of the impact of the story when you have a different avatar character every week instead of one constant thing

Part of it was their magics going off without them wanting it to, so when they were terrified by their own unintentional creations they'd think of more terrifying things and it perpetuated itself. Probably one of them thought of the world just up and ending and that's when shit started falling out of the sky, the sun got closer/strong enough to be dangerous to life, and they started envisioning harbingers of doom.

Catfuckers deserve the noose.

On a side note.
Is it okay if I have a macro that allows me to change my hotbar to another macro?

I want to do something like if I'm the MT, I have a default TBN, if I'm an OT the TBN goes straight to the MT.

Thank you anons for chiming in as well, I'm gonna do DRK first simply because the story and aesthetics then if I find myself feeling like a shitter I'll grab PLD too.

Nah WoW has had a clusterfuck of a story for a while.
One of the benefits of XIV's approach to story and forcing players to do it is you can have somewhat cohesive character arcs. Since WoW abandons prior stories once new expansions come out you are left retelling the same thing over and over again or just dropping entire plotlines entirely because they no longer have context.
The same issue plagues ESO versus GW2 where GW2 wants you to play the entire story and thus (quality aside) can keep a coherent rhetoric. ESO is all over the place and linearity is thrown out the window as shit continues to not make sense.

Now imagine if that was your erect cock patting her on the head.

what's the point of the FFXIV complete edition bundle if it doesn't have a discount compared to buying the games individually?

Unironically the starting one. Goes great with my Garlean glamour.

Probably. I just got curious because I was tanking half the dungeon as a DPS and we wiped because monsters were everywhere. Turned on ACT and he was doing 1.7k DPS then looked at his gear and saw that.

I can't get over the rotation mechanics in this game at endgame, doesn't seem fun just mindlessly hitting a 50+ ability sequence regardless of what's happening around me.

Having played both these games, they're about the same when it comes to nothing to do. FFXIV has better story-driven content, but that's it.

Runescape had the absolute best approach to story before this "sixth age" bullshit.
>World has numerous individual plot threads
>Some quests have content involving multiple plot threads, and you'll have to complete each of those questlines up to that point
>You're incentivized to explore every corner of the story and take up multiple plotlines because every single quest has a tangible gameplay reward, from skill exp to unlocking entire areas and methods of transportation in a world with no fast travel

Why, yes, The artist Aulphinaud and his assistants. How could you tell?

What armor? Is that the Ronkan healer set?

Yoshi P said that the reveal that Hydaelyn and Zodiark were primals would be small compared to everything else in Shadowbringers. Was that true for you, Yea Forums, or no?

WoW's story has been an absolutely embarrasing pile of garbage since 3.0.

Not going to lie I dread going for leveling roulette on higher level characters because I'm usually not geared for it.

As a Gunblade doing Heavensward where should I get gear as I level up?

Play BLM, RDM, or BRD

If you have any poetic tomestones you'll be able to get a full set of level 70 armor once you reach Idyllshire in Heavensward, should blow anything you have out of the water. Until then, the MSQ should give you some gear ans so should dungeons.

It's hard to tell a good story in WoW when they have to continue making factions fight even if it doesn't make sense anymore.

Should I finish ARR as a Monk or White Mage? I've got them both at level 39. I doubt I'll continue with either of them once I unlock the Heavensward jobs.

I really wanted the Amaurot zone orchestration theme but it's considered the Tempest's night theme so it won't be in until later patches

I took Amaurot as more of a Zanarkand analog.

How is this possible?

As one of those weird parties, we're doing a private version of the MSQ and don't want to flood the chat, so we keep it in /p.

Just got to the Crystal Tower today.

Don't think so. If anything there was more of an implication that the WoL was the 14th Ascian to join the council

Nah, Hythlodaeus is another one of Emet's friends and not the WoL Ascian self since he talks about how Emet surely must have recognized a hint of another friend of Emet within the WoL which implies he's talking about WoL's original ascian self and gives another implication that they were friends at one point.

now that I think about it, that must hurt, you spent several thousand years trying to bring back your race and loved ones but one of your strongest opponents was a broken husk version of your friend who is on the opposite side and is doing everything they can to stop you

Well, it's very simple, the new expansion is as good as it is because if had been build up since ARR and teased since mid HW. If you don't do the other story and even skip some of the optional content like Alexander, Crystal Tower and Omega you are missing out on some of Shadowbringers best moments.

That's something you can applaud the writing team for, nothing ever feels like an asspull even the concept of how Sineaters come to be are introduced in an optional ARR dungeon.

I don't remember much, gameplay wise, from XIII but I do remember how awful the leveling was. Felt more like a chinese grinding simulator.

>in a world with no fast travel

You're joking right? There's a teleport spell for every major city in the game.

It was only balance fishing in speed runs. 99% of the other time most of those cards had their uses, especially in other types of play and prog where a spread bole or an enhanced arrow could save the group and let you see more mechanics.

Now every card is balance like raid trannies always wanted and as a result the job is the worst it's ever been.

AST is a bitch.

>just to see how he would have reacted to that.
Why are the dialog choices so good this time around? There's so many, and I really do sit and think for a moment which one I'd like to pick because of how some have longer reactions than others. Sidequests less so, but still great.

At the start of ShB with i440 gear +10 levels I heal 23k.

Now what's the difference on this, we're all walking around with 80~120k hp instead of 40k healing a tank at 20% to full takes a LOT more effort than before.

Tl;dr our heals are way weaker than they were, enjoy.

From what I hear, AST is the weakest healer right now. WHM can pump outs heals fucking quickly, and SCH can shield for hours on end.

Actually, probably not. Elidibus DOES have a WoL on hand; Unukalhai. I think this is going to be a prelude for us going to the Thirteenth and getting rid of the overwhelming darkness there.
Really I'm amazed they haven't released an Ascian set for the Mogstation.

WoW has a story?
Is your character ever referenced at all? When I tried it last year I randomly unlocked dungeons without any context.

Story is the bottom of the barrel concern when it comes to mmos. It's a single player function made for troglodytes who can't manage to make their own objectives. The idea of playing a massively multiplayer game just for the single player story is laughable.

I would post it, but I fear someone would recognize me.

I don't know but I wish we had someone better. Meoni being a catgirl degenerate is weird despite his lore book videos. But I can't get over the voice behind the epitome of kawaii ugguu catgirl.

I want to have video references for connecting quests, lore book info and speculation but Ethys goes full retard and states speculation as fact and has to explain CuChulain in every video.

>implying the first outfit wasn't the height of fashion

It’s a good story but some of that voice acting is terrible. Shiro and Master Togo...

I only have MCH at 70 right now but I love using Drill.

Story more or less ended with Wrath of the Lich King as it wrapped up the last of III's plot points.

Really the only other MMO whose story I'm interested in besides 14 is LOTRO because now with the War of the Ring ended, the dev team stated they're basically gonna flesh out New Shadow.

Is she actually 13? I thought she was 15 or 16. Where is this confirmed?

>I think this is going to be a prelude for us going to the Thirteenth and getting rid of the overwhelming darkness there.
That'd just be a repeat of SHB, and besides, we've been to Thirteen, it's where World of Darkness even occurs. Thirteen is beyond getting rid of darkness, it's donezo.

Oh, TBN is great, but now it's essentially mandatory (which is fine) when it used to just feel like a nice buffer to have, but doable without.

She already did if you're a smaller race that want to dress like a cutsey anime boy/girl.

So, did Zenos killing his father happened because we saved the First?

It was in WoD and Legion they tried to copy xiv by making us the big damn hero of the story but it came off really badly done.

Nahh as they're from the Heavensward expansion unless you have that

You can change instances at aetherytes, user.

You've been instance swapping by exiting and entering zones? You can manually select the instance you want via the aetheryte.

No, that basically happened because we got spirited away so he couldn't fight (You).
From a certain point of view every action Elidibus has taken since 3.0 has step by step prevented the 8th Umbral Calamity from occurring.

I am wondering now who the final boss will be overall. I had always assumed it would be Zodiark, but now I wonder what the thing that scared the Ascians is.

Next expansion we hit Garlemald. Expansion after that we destroy or remove both zodiark and Hydelyn and find a way to make the world whole again without killing everyone.

No he's just edgy and doesn't want the Black Rose used at all.
The reason Black Rose causes the Eighth Umbral Calamity is because it's Light Aether so if the First were to rejoin the Source it would create a flood of Light Aether which combined with Black Rose is what made it spread across Eorzea killing everyone. Normally the gas wouldn't start spreading like that.

The moment we fucked off to go to the First is the moment the story diverged, yeah. The bad-end that G'raha Tia comes from operates under the assumption that the Scions didn't get their souls stolen and the WoL didn't go to the First. Otherwise we would have continued to win against Elidibus-Zenos and the Empire would deploy Black Rose as their "I win" button.

Damn nigga you were wrong in your absolute first point, that's impressive.

God i hope they scrap major plans for Garland empire storyline and do something more interesting now like the moon and ascian fight origin story with the first as a launch point

They are not the same person.

Garlemald actually has room to be interesting now that Varis has fucked off into the grave and it's going to be tearing itself apart again through a war of succession and likely pulling half the world into it's shenanigans as well.

Before it was just going to be generic bad guy stronghold #4821043 because that's what the writing in SB did to Varis. Who was so throughly mindfucked by Emet-Selch that he thought his goal was somehow different than the Ascian goal.

You're in luck on that point, the Garlean Empire is essentially dead now. Solus/Emet-Selch isn't around anymore to guide Garlemald from the shadows, Varis is dead and can't order the continued use of Black Rose, and Zenos has absolutely no interest in ruling. Assuming it doesn't crumble from civil war and the lack of a clear successor, it'll be ruled weakly by one of the princelings or nobles that was vying for the throne before Varis took over.

They are physically identical, there is no reason to believe Ryne would grow up any different from Minfilia until perhaps the eye and hair color change happened

I unlocked dancer earlier, and did some messing around on a dummy. After a quick evaluation, I think this class is too complicated for the casual erpslut and tranny crowd it attracts - am I wrong? The proc based rotation (something people HATED about MCH,) resource pooling for CD timing, all that sort of thing. Are there tons of shit dancers out there that only hope to mooch damage from their partners? I have barely seen any even at 80 in roulettes.

Gotta agree with the other user, they are not the same person, Ryne isn't some clone.

Is it safe to go back to Gilgamesh?

Amaurot the city gave me a sense of wonder I hadn't really felt in a FF game before since Zanarkand's ruins in FFX, which Amaurot is probably an intentional callback to. Amaurot the dungeon was insanely well put-together and one of the most seamless mixes of gameplay and story in a game I've seen

Minfilia literally says that she took over the bodies of many girls and changed their appearances, like an Ascian. Then Ryne confirms that Minfilia gave her her own eyes and hair back.

Minfilia isn't reborn. She has gone from body to body to keep fighting until Ryne.

They removed the ability to skip the cutscenes, but as a tradeoff it gives more exp than anything else in the game. Like half a level for Castrum and 2/3rds of a level for Praetorium

MSQ gives a ton of exp, just grab a snack and pray it's Praetorium so that you have even less to do

I'm level 76 and capped on poetics. Can I start buying stuff for level 80 right now and if so where do I do this?

Or should I be buying something else with poetics for now? I never played much of Stormblood so not sure if there's anything worth it.

I want to see a massive civil war and his authority not recognized.

Vauthry took the spot as ultimate spoiled brat and actually garnered some pity for how broken his upbringing was. Zenos on the other hand was written like a generic anime edgelord. Just having him come back and all of Garlemald obeying his whims seems rather stupid without a good reason as to /why/ they would listen.

There would be people loyal to the throne, yes. But we've seen Garlean soldiers and conscripts who don't don their uniform out of pride. Plus Gaius and his boys wont sit idly by.

There's nothing at 80 with Poetics, you can buy 50/60/70 gear for alt jobs if you want.

It's because tanks have less defensive cooldowns now. They are going to start getting chunked about two or so minutes into a big pull because they just don't have any more defensives to use.

Nope. I tried Standard Step and could tell there would be lots of icon managing next to staying mobile and keeping your DPS up.

As a fan of the Tales games, ShB overall gave me similar feelings to Tales of the Abyss. My favorite Tales actually, and yes, a wonder I hadn't experienced in a long ass time.

Because he wanted to keep his identity and his plan of committing sudoku with the light a secret so you wouldn't try and stop him.
Staying as distant from you and pretending not to know who that was made it easier for him.

The dungeon that tipped you off that Stormblood was going to be boring is one that you don't have access to until after you beat Stormblood?

Sidequests give very little experience. I only did them if I was like a sliver away from leveling up or they gave aether currents. Spamming dungeons and roulettes and doing fates when you're waiting in queue is a faster way to gain levels.

I called him by his name when I first got to Crystarium and his feigned ignorance had me worried. Kept calling him by his name every time I could, including post game.

He's so goddamn pure.

I thought it was more of he felt really shameful and wanted to pretend that's not him.

Wait, who is that guy in the middle? That's not me!

Where do i get the AF after i beat the role quest? or do i have to do more of the MSQ?

Why would he feel shame? He just had it planned from the start that the WoL would take as much of the corrupted light aether as possible and if/when it proved to be too much the Exarch would shoulder the burden and go off to die since he figured averting the eighth umbral calamity would make him cease to exist anyway.

That just means he used assets made by other people in the way he wanted, it doesn't mean the assets were good in themselves.

If you dont have 300 commendations even as dps after running 1000 dungeons legit, then wtf are you doing my man

So all you need to do is lvl summoner to 80, and youve got scholar, no need to try actual content to do this, and then you can just potd/hoh/trust a tank to lvl 80

Basically any moron can get those requirements

Honestly i find it a shame that many final fantasy fans aren't playing the best final fantasy in god knows how many years because its an mmo

Do more of the MSQ and reach the secret area. Then you'll get to talk to a Highlander with a gorgeous set of locks for the MSQ. Talk to him to get your armor and weapon.

He might not be interested in ruling, but even he knows with Garlemalds resources he can try to find a way to get to Zodiark. He'll probably use the empire to rile up and encourage the WoL to fight him and get even stronger.

HOLY, Assize isn't half bad either

How's BRD doing this expansion? Did they get shat on?

yes.

The potency number on Heavy Shot is higher than Quick Nock.

Lost utility, do decent damage, new skills don't add much, some skills are now upgraded versions of previous skills, so you got less buttons to worry about, at least. MCH is better damage wise.

Wish I could play dont have enough money this month to do it, guess I'll miss all the fun.

Well, now you gotta post it.

>What do I do now?
Get a better glam.

this, the higher number is better

Presence of mind+Thin Air+Holy Holy Holy
Assize

More personal damage, far less raid damage.
Can hold their own in pretty much any type of content. Hard to fuck up, consistent damage.

pft you look like a JRPG protagonist.

I can't imagine how they'll top it. But at the very least we know there's a bigger threat than Hydaelyn and Zodiark. Maybe the planet does have a will of it own and all the creation magic the ancient's been doing were harming it someway

While you're completely correct in your opinion, FFXIV is the one exception to the rule.
