I want to change race to rp as a dwarf forever...though lalas are cancer and I would be by association. It is a tough decision for me.

I'm in the exact same scenario though. I really didn't start enjoying the game until right at the end, when duties actually started requiring a bit of thought.
Everyone says the the expansions are better, but the thought of buying the expansion for a game I didn't enjoy playing for 90% of my time is fucking stupid.

Well, story DOES get better if that's what interests you.

I once joined a "midcore" static (I have since learned to identify the word "midcore" as the PC way to say "scrub")
Honestly I didn't mind the constant wiping it was the fucking banter that made me quit. bunch of reddit-humor and normie meme talk constantly. Whenever someone would die they wouldn't even try to understand why the fuck it happened they would just talk about stranger things or some bullshit and then repeat the same mistake like 40 more times. It's like they didn't want to play XIV they wanted to hang out while dying to the boss.
My current static is a little more hardcore and even with a fucking Yea Forums browsing memester that audibly greentexts on voice chat it's 700% more tolerable than that shit.

It's literally more of the same. God are you fucking retarded?

I can't believe Nomura actually drew this, I can't believe they accepted it and showed it off.

Then don't buy it the expansions if you don't want to play the game, nobody is forcing you.

Fucking disgusting.

I thought people were exaggerating when they said that this game had a lot of trannies. Oh, how wrong I was.

obvious highlander ugly

I seem to recall Nomura apologizing for how rushed the artwork was. Wasn't it something he did in like an hour?

hey I'm not done with Stormblood yet but just popping in to say this is fucking dull and Lyse is annoying. She doesn't even act anything like she did before she took off the mask. Was her being a mouthbreather a localization thing? Because she sure as hell doesn't act like one anymore.

At least Yotsuyu is hot. I'm confused why Yugiri and Gosetsu don't just wait for her to die of smoke inhalation, though.

Hadn't read anything besides what Yoshi said about the hammer at fanfest. Maybe they redid her and that's why we didn't see her unmasked yet?

>we won't actually see how she actually looks ingame for another half year because nomura didn't finish her design yet
We're not joking when we say that when Yda took the mask off she was effectively killed off as a character.

>Was her being a mouthbreather a localization thing?
No, it's just that before they were writing Yda, and then they suddenly decided she's a new character so they started writing her like Lyse. Yda was a fun airhead who was actually pretty smart, Lyse is just flat out retarded and naive.

Sorry novice network is just a mentor chatroom (and their sprout alts)

>not switching it to crafter so they can identify you as secret based

lyse acts different than she did while masquerading as yda because she was trying to imitate yda to the best of her ability. That ditzy personality of hers wasn't real to begin with.

Well the rest of the game keeps requiring more and more thought, so chances are you will like it. As long as you don't dislike the story completely.

Do the raids and ex trials. Farm them for gear. Level DoH/L. Catch up with any side content you missed that is worth a damn. Hang out with your buddies. Unsub and play other games once you get bored enough.

Secret world is f2p and fun for solo play.
Shame it's basically dead midstory tho

I'm a very new player. I'm at about 35? Just doing the main story for now, anything else I should be doing early on? They just killed fucking everyone and took the leader after I killed titan. So not very far in.

Honestly there isnxt much side content til 50. Just keep going and do blue quests with pluses whenever you see them.

ShB was kino but the endgame desperately needs an update next expansion, its extremely formulaic at this point and the small amount of meaningful content each patch becomes more and more apparent

Nothing I can think of yet. A good thing to know is that any quest with a blue icon instead of a yellow one unlocks new content so it's in your best interest to do those.

Nothing. Follow the main story and get to 50 is probably the biggest things. Even if you want to level another class, get to 50 anyways as they give you exp boost for any class under 50.

Why did he summon titan with an atv
We'll never know

Yes please. Hopefully once 5.1 rolls around they'll give us better potencies. The old card system felt smooth as butter and having a mana card in reserve for the other casters felt nice to have. If they do bring back the old card system they'll have to give spire a new effect, maybe a healing buff for those tough heal checks.

I can't help but feel WoL should be the leader of the scions. We should be calling the shots since we're literally the big honcho here. Yet we're still pretty much a tool for everyone. I hope the next expansion actually keeps us seperated from them while we plan out what to do with Elidibius.

they're easy as fuck, just jump in. most people that you'll be with are doing their raid roulette and are probably overgeared as fuck so you won't see half the mechanics/won't hit as hard. there are only a small handful of fights where you need to do something. now if you're talking about coil, you'll probably want to put up a party finder mentioning you're new or wait until you're 80. no one does these synced anymore.

Normal tier raids are just slightly more complex trials. Easy to run with randoms.

Savage raids, and what people generally refer to when saying "raiding" are the most hardcore fights the game has. Though if you want to run old savage content sync'd, you are probably out of luck unless you can get a pf full of people who want to run old content

I was expecting it to be Rinoa or some shit

They are canonically a female keeper of the moon.

You can do the entire coil with 1 person if you enrage cheese t9, otherwise it's only that specific one where you need a buddy or two, T13 and t11 maybe if you're not confident. I'd say do it with a few friends, it will feel like a good achievement even if you're overleveled as shit.

How is the WoL seven times rejoined? Is it because of the calamities? Wouldn't that apply to everyone else in the source?

When you have a tuner and another non tuner and you can combine those monsters into a synchro monster as long as the total levels match it.

Read the fucking descriptions you retard.

Source?

Basically that your level is lowered to content. Lets say you are running a lvl 60 raid with a lvl 80 character. If the game lowers your level to 60, thats sync'd. If you are still lvl 80, that's unsync'd

Ilvl/level synced. Read the entry in duty finder.

When you're much higher leveled/ivl you can solo the ARR ones.

Anything can be done unsynced except for alliance raids since you need 3 raids for those and there is no way to team up as 3 different parties

No-one can really enjoy anything designed prior to Heavensward anymore because we've gotten so strong that the "BIG" moments like Dungeons and Trials and Raids just don't have the same impact that they used to.

You will not explore a Dungeon, you will pull everything possible and rush down bosses in seconds ignoring every mechanic the game throws at you. This is even more of a thing in Shadowbringers because now we've been given a good amount of our skills at lower levels and have increased AoE. You'll never suffer through Darkhold, Aurum Vale or Cutter's Cry because we now ignore everything that ever gave us trouble.

Trials are even worse. It is literally impossible to wipe on any story mode trial prior to maybe Ravana. Most ARR Primals will die seconds after they hit their big move at 50% HP. You'll never reach the chorus of Oblivion, you'll never wipe to the Steps of Faith, you'll never understand the tether mechanic of Ramuh.

Raids are a different matter altogether. You will never enter Binding Coil synched. Ever. You'll ever go in with a group of max level players and burn down each boss in seconds, or you'll never get to see the content. Unless you make friends that are willing to brave the Coils, that's conent you wont touch because they designed Coil in such a way that you NEED to voice chat or communicate mechanics and strategies in some way. The Duty Finder will not pop in certain instances.

All of this is remedied in later expansions (aside from Brute Justice and Thordan, RIP to those two amazing fights.)

Tanks are good at soloing old content, PLD especially

Scottzone been slowly growing his twitch as an an ex wow player coming to XIV but he's now caught up on content that he's now fucked that there is nothing really to do anymore that he's regretting playing it now and doesn't know what to do.

Did you ever make a party in party finder?

T9 can and will wipe you even if you're unsynced

No you really can't experience something for the first time the second time

I liked it better than Omega Tier 1. I wish the other three had supers like Eden Prime did though.
Titan was a clownfest, so I have hopes for the rest of the raid.

They'll tear your balls off.

I hate that too. I love playing zoomed in.

He obviously meant new content in a expansion and a patch not the past expansion old content

Then explain how. Your game would have to be completely static on top of people somehow not spreading information on mechanics.
There are plenty of horizontal progression MMOs that exist but inevitably they still succumb to powercreep because it's impossible to expect people to play a game for months going on years and tell them "you are never getting stronger and you will continue to do the same content with the enthusiasm you had the first time."

coil never got a normal mode version, they're still on their weird nerfed savage difficulty

30 gil says the New World denizens are from the moon and are the children of whatever is living beneath the world.

That's true but you should still be able to replay a fight and still be challenged by it to the point where you can't just play on auto pilot.

zoomed in gives it more of an immersive feel, also trying to get as minimal ui or even playing hudless is visually pleasing but it's hard to do that as you need to see your hotbars.

epic roast

I remember being a max ilvl WAR, staying in Defiance, and planting the boss firmly in the middle of the arena while none of the other 5 tanks were capable of ripping aggro from me. It always caused some fucking retard to seethe and kill all the skeletons right under the boss so they would immediately explode just to prove that it was a bad idea to tank it in the middle.
That might have been part of the reason why they realized having 6 tanks in a raid is a bad idea.

Gunbreaker and Coldsteel jobs look really cool so people who dont play tank are flooding in.

Lali-ho!

Am I the only one who is kind of disappointed with Edengate? The story is meh so far. Fights are okay and seeing alternate Levi/Titan is neat on one hand, but they are basically having us battle the same bosses yet again (third time for Levi, fourth for Titan, fifth even, if you count the solo duty). Music is literally either ripped from FF8 as-is (which makes no sense since aside from Eden's design there's jack shit in terms of FF8 references) or is a remix of an old primal theme.
Since they boasted that Nomura is in charge I expected something actually great and I did not get that in Edengate. Rumors were that the raid is based on FF8, and we did not really get that either. And after the absolute kino of ShB MSQ, this feels even more lackluster.

Sounds like someone didn't speedrun WP for tomes back in the day. People will always go for speed.

The game should have hard mechanics through story progression and it should be done in a way that you cannot outgear it or rely on guides. You would have to learn, get better and memorize patterns.
The problem with the game is that after everyone on the OF complaining for nerfs after Pharos Sirius, they ended up making everything so easy that it ended up making the majority of them worse through not being challenged. The game should require quick reflexes and sound judgement, but they've made their bed and are now stuck with this. It can be done, they just won't.

don't worry about hitting hypercharge when you have 50 heat, it's more important to use drill/hot shot on cd so hold onto it if either of them have like ~8 seconds left on their cd

This kind of shit is why Emet was right.

Yes.
It's generally smart to plan ahead with what gear pieces you want or need based on your Best In Slot stats for your class and generally what you need to replace iLevel wise.
Read the descriptions of the loot dropped carefully. If you want a chest piece you'll need four chest piece drops, which is literally your entire weeks worth of drops if you get them. That's for that one piece.

Boots, gloves, and helmet are 2 pieces and can effectively get 2 of them each week.
Belt and right side accessories require only 1 piece and you could get 4 belts/accessories every week if you wanted.

Way too many cutscenes for a roulette

Just the story is a bit worse depending how you feel about some characters.

only the first three were really kino.
Warring triad sucked.

Ryne is a midlander as far as programming goes. I guess they gave up and settled on middie since they never updated Minfilia's model to be a highlander woman.

Main story was underwhelming, post story was alright. Zones were eh besides the steppes. Raids and trials were fine

Some anons really obsessed wit "high difficulty". For what purpose? Want to feel special and elite? Try fighting games instead of theme park mmo.

Fuck off.

MOOOORE, I MUST HAVE MOOOOORE, O ARAMITAMA

Warring Triad was cool

That wasn't my question or my point. If a fight has patterns people are going to release guides for it, it's content they can get views and money from. Watching a video doesn't equate with actually clearing said content.

I wish they would just make mandatory sections really hard and force people to get better. But the shitters just want to be the victim so they'll cry that they can't do it because of excuses that are not their fault.
I've never used a guide for XIV, been playing since alpha. Everything you should do should be from the game without outside help. What's the point in watching/reading a guide when you can only do it blind once? Why take away that thrill of not knowing what's going to kill you next?
I love it when a new mechanic I've not seen happens, I want to struggle so when the fight is over it feels that much sweeter. It's a shame the majority don't feel like this and instead encourage their own social anxiety of messing up.

Stormblood was my favorite part before Shadowbringers. It's the first part of the game that has actual nuances and people killing each other for actual reasons.
It lacked dragons to kill and wasn't a LotR rip off so the dumb people didn't like it.
Stormblood has most of my favorite characters or they had all a major role in the storyline.
The environments are not really good until halfway point, but the I really liked how the whole "the conqueror writes history" idea was treated.

Also some people don't like Lyse because of her dumb decisions.

The only good one's were Shinryu and Tsukuyomi, the 4 Symbols were executed poorly, Lakshmi a shit, Susano'o was alright.
HW Trials were so much better and rose a good bar that SB's didn't surpass.

Maybe the virgin demon or the roastie goddess, but the Chad FIEND was fucking amazing and put shitters in their place

I prefer learning fights as you go as well, again that's not what I was implying that everyone should go watch guides. The game introduces mechanics at a pace that is reasonable (for the most part).
I'm saying what you are asking for is impossible, there will never be a world where people just flat out don't communicate on content.

Now try and name any other.
>why didn't they just copypaste the entire raid from FF8?!
>reading comprehension
Some people were expecting them to, and after hearing FF8 world map theme, I was too. Yet there were none, so the question is: why the fuck would they even do this, if it's an original story.
>if a boss has the same name then it's basically the same boss!
It is not the same fight. But it is the same boss, and that is just fucking lazy.
It is okay in some cases (i.e. Gilgamesh), but if they are doing an original story with Nomura in charge, then there's no excuse for "lol let's put in leviathan again because who gives a fuck"

>I wish they would just make mandatory sections really hard and force people to get better. But the shitters just want to be the victim so they'll cry that they can't do it because of excuses that are not their fault.
That'd kill the game, more than like, XIV has a reputation of being a story-game first and foremost with all the difficulty being in what's effectively side-content, the raids and trials and their Savage equivalents. This game will never breed pug-slayers, it's not what the developers want (the developers want you to fuck off and resub later if you're bored) and it's not what the average player wants, leaving those wanting difficulty as outliers.

>It's the first part of the game that has actual nuances
uh oh smoothbrain alert

>Tsuyu..must...survive

Why would they kill off the character with the single most DIAMONDS-inducing japanese voice in recent memory?

because catgirls are best girls.

She's the postergirl and still has the support from horny virgins. She will remain until this game is dead, and she will be her usual Mary Sue self throughout the entirety of it.

True. That's why I believe the patterns should be random and less forgiving so even if you were to look at a guide it would either overwhelm you or make you look out for something completely different to what is happening.
The communication I don't mind because it can only get you so far, it's people not improving their response times and memory so we could have fights where you have to constantly look out for yourself that I don't like.

>tfw you're paying 13 a month to look up strangers' skirts and decorete your house hoping that it's ready for your friends if they ever pick up the game

Why didn't she come back naked like in HW? Is Emet-Selch gay? You guys told me he was based!

you've toughed it out through the worst part of the game and you're still enjoying it. It wasnt even until around where you're at in the story when they hired on a bunch of new staff members to make XIV a better game. The music, bosses and overall dungeon aesthetic continues to get better and better 50+ and most classes at this point have no real flavor until 60+

Why in the world would you play an MMO without the latest shit

You didn't understand that she was revived again to show off how powerful Emet-Selch was, did you? Just leapt straight to getting mad about mary sues.

My biggest problem with Lyse is that she's the one who narrates over the new area cutscenes. Edmont was so good and Lyse just didn't live up to it

She did
He snapped clothes onto her

Well try to play WoW instead. WoW has different design for raids.

just got to 2.4 contents why the fuck is there suddenly cutscenes every 2 npcs and much higher production on voice acting and cinematics? not complaining, just really startled by how jarring it is compared to the game before this

Anyone else feel like statics are like a part time job? I work a 9-5 job, have a short break and then work my 7-10 job (ffxiv static raid time). Even at 3 days a week it just became something I HAD to do - if I missed raid time or was more than 15 mins late my static would be upset as if I didn't show up to my shift at a minimum wage job. I'd have to notify my static of any vacation or time off weeks in advance to get it approved, and when it finally is time to raid I'd just show up and slog through progression for 3 or 4 hours to maybe get a few % farther than last time. All this shit for something I'm not getting paid, I'm paying for it with the sub fee. It feels like a job rather than a game to wind down from the stress of IRL things. But if I want to make it past the first two floors then I'm pretty much forced to static up since pugs are too incompetent. It fucking sucks.

>Some people were expecting them to
You say this like it fucking means anything. People expected them to because Omega was nothing but references. Were Bahamut and Alexander copypastes from past games? No? So stop being a fucking moron believing """"""rumors""""""".
>and after hearing FF8 world map theme, I was too. Yet there were none, so the question is: why the fuck would they even do this
Because it's fucking Eden, a summon from FF8, so they used Blue Fields for the area theme, most likely to please you dumb niggers that go nuts for OMG REFERENCESS!!!!!!! and would have complained on the OF if there were none. You're fucking braindead.
>It is not the same fight. But it is the same boss
It's literally not the same boss in any way. The mechanics are completely different, the appearance is completely different, the arena is completely different, the lore is completely different.

no, theyre a blight to ffxiv

This guy only did normal modes

Lyse says dumb things like
"Why don't you fight, don't you want to be free?" when she fled Gyr Abania for an entire decade and people are slowly getting accepted in the empire.
This and the *clenches the fist* thing.

And like said, her introduction was pretty stupid.
She gets a high position despite having done nearly nothing, more or less because she's the daughter of a deceased general

no way

This is one of the reasons I am unsure about getting into a static. I do want to do savage raids and shit but I don't know about the commitment.

Around 2.4 is when they got a bigger VA budget and decided to hire a load of new VAs. It continues into 3.0, with almost everyone getting a new VA.

3.0 onward is even more jarring because the english voice acting got a complete recast

Attached: 7W2obAi.jpg (1920x1080, 669K)

I mean usually someone explains and they calm down but there’s always someone that whines

I hate that my Scion waifu died so Lyse can exist.

because they didn't fucking think there was going to be a 2.4. ARR was made just to save face from the unmitigated disaster that was 1.0. Then ARR became a sudden success and they started to pump a little bit of money into it.

They started giving a shit around that point, ARR is full of decisions that point to them not knowing what they were doing. In 3.0 they completely switch voice-studios and everybody gets a replacement, currently they've got a shitload of Game of Thrones actors doing voices for some reason as well as some other choices like Shulk's voice-actor for Pipin, Raubahn's adoptive son

How long did it take you to realize this? yes statics are like a job, even worse when you realize it's a job that gets all progress deleted when a new content patch invalidates your gear. I fucking hate raiding, it was cool at some point having a ton of players killing a big boss, but it was supposed to be this hardcore thing tha thappens sporadically, not mandatory content you need to commit to stay relevant in a competitive community. At the very least there should be an alternative progression system where people can no life at their own pace instead of being enslaved into a raid schedule.

There's "casual statics" for just that reason, though they're still statics and beholden to some of the same requirements.

Fordola is one of the best characters of the game right now. She's done absolutely nothing wrong, and she's a better heroin than Lyse. A tragic one, but still a heroin.
Stormblood was heavily influenced by tactics ogre and Matsuno.

That's true, even if they were to change it now the majority just would not stand for it.
No, I just want to talk to people who understand what I mean. I'm not saying for complicated mechanics, just faster and more random ones where you have to get that feeling of "Oh, that mechanic!" because you were expecting something else. It would require a lot more work to the fights.
I know we have hard mechanics for the ultimate and savage fights but I want harder fights that are mandatory so we can end up feeling challenged throughout.
When I do WoD now, I feel disgusted that they would allow such an amazing raid to be beaten without thought.

also to add to this, I noticed you play Summoner. Summoner is exactly what i meant with
>most classes at this point have no real flavor until 60+
Summoner has no real "WOW" moves until deathflare at 60 and then again at 70 for bahamut. just get shadowbringers. it includes all 3 expansions

Heavensward was literally written by a guy who worked on every game with Matsuno.

I hated the Four Lords.

Make a casual raid static?

They tried that with Eureka and you all threw a tantrum.

How?

is there anything more embarrassing than getting punted off titan hard though?
It's happened to everyone thoughright guys?

This is why I pug shitter who will never clear ultimates and half of savages. Statics have obligations.

>I'd have to notify my static of any vacation or time off weeks in advance to get it approved

The fuck kind of autistic statics are you getting into?

Binding Coil had a lot of real cringe shit. Especially wonder twin books activate.

The hell is a casual raid static?

I didn't care for Soroban being an end-dungeon boss or Koryu's eventually being dealt with in a cutscene I caught the XI reference with his model being a kirin reuse though, nice touch but I did like the ending it capped off with and the overall look into how magical things work in the East because of their different beliefs.

>in comfy 6/8 static of irl friends
>no set times just hang when we on (usually evening due to wagies)
>pug last two spots
>clear content fast give or take pug variance

Stormblood was literally written by Matsuno.

1.0 > 2.0 > 3.0 > 4.0 > 5.0

The more we move away from the original vision, the worse the game gets.

I feel attacked.

So like Titan in Eden where Landslide knocks you off because you are suppose to stand in front of him which goes against your memory of the encounter.
Something like that. yet completely random at all times that is an almost instant pass/fail mechanic across the board.
That doesn't sound enjoyable that sounds like trial and error.

The Ivalice raid is not all of Stormblood.

One you make to your casual liking.

Get used to it. Even if you're the hero of the instance they don't care.

Fordola commits the sin of being an ugly-as-fuck mhigger

Oh man this image is old as fuck, so many removed abilities on those bars

This but unironically

What the fuck?

But what does that entail?

I cleared Titan in Eden yesterday, only one pull so I didn't have much time to stop and think about shit, but what were the Landslides? The big split line things?

>Being the Tank
>Hero of the Instance
Is this what tankmains really believe?

basically means a wipe static. you guys wipe for 2-3 hours and make jokes about it during it.

you only get comm as a tank if youre dogshit, shitters don't appreciate fast tanks

that's the power of aether

Except every job can reach high crit values right now???????

Once a week maybe if someone doesn’t bail at the last minute and hopefully we just clear each fight once before the next tier comes out

Like that but more of that, yeah.
I agree completely on the trial and error part. I disagree on "beginner traps", everything should be able to spot so you can react. Not knowing it's coming just comes down to luck and following others, that doesn't make you better it just annoys you.
His kart charge was obvious, but the one where you stand in front of him wasn't as apparent. I will say I do like how he doesn't alternate between the 2 and instead he will do one of them twice in a row to catch you out.

Heavensward is about killing the evil dragon and the evil pope. There's barely anything more than that. The Falcon was the beginning of Stormblood's storyline and the bloody banquet was the introduction for HW. Ysayle was terribly underwhelming. HW is memorable for Haurchefant, not really for the whole dragon shit around it.

I still can't believe the Exarch summoned 7 of him to help the WoL out in the final battle, what the fuck were they thinking?

>Said I wanted to mating press pot-potato

Sorry lads, had to do em

even when you do manage to clear the payout sucks. you get gear that becomes obsolete within a few weeks/months and the fight gets nerfed hard through echo or unsync mode.

>fail a mechanic
>all 7 of them shout sloppy

Yeah, like I said I wasn't really focusing on the details. Is it the thing where he fires the lines down either side of him? Because my group avoided that by running to the row not on either side or in front.

I think it's one of the first few steps

I was thinking it even if I didn't say it.

You're a moron then, because there's much more nuance than that. People will argue for fucking hours just about if Thordan did the right thing or not.

They are gonna ruin it somehow

Now this is retarded and I hope i'm getting baited, 1.0 was the worst version of the game no doubt, Tanaka team didn't even had a vision for the fucking game. Only good thing about it was the music and Soken gets better each expansion.
