Grind to grind to enable a grind. Crafting is a grind hidden inside a grind with another grind on top. The game's version of enchanting is so annoying to get it might as well not exist. Player housing is a bad joke. Randos in dungeon groups are either braindead or absolutely hostile (probably because of the braindead). The story is full of filler and you'll want to kill yourself before you even reach the first expansion.

The one thing I like most about it is also the most annoying. You have to physically discover new shit in the world in order to unlock it. This includes core game mechanics: teleporting around town, your various exp bonus logbooks, the ability to play music as a bard, etc. They take great pains to try and immerse you in the game.

So the only dps that matter are mnk, blm, drg and sam?

>cleared E3S
>everyone not the BLM in the group was either grey or blue
I'm getting the point between us and people with penta-melds + riding their pots for these parses is the difference maker between that are purples. That'll take a few weeks to level out.

I pass and I enjoy this game way more than WoW and there's nothing you can do about it

it's kind of bs on how one shitty add can ruin your clear cause it's bs hitbox. Honestly, put the ilvl requirement on 450 or wait for a few weeks so people get properly geared to clear this shit.

Is it true that E3S DPS check is easier than E2S?

The parses are completely fucked right now because of the low amount of runs uploaded.
Without crafted gear/pots, I have a 75 on E1S and a fucking 40 on E2S. The difference is disgusting.

Well, there's probably several reasons, but chief among them is probably people see a character with a giant sword or a giant axe and feel they should do more HP than the guy with a tiny sword or a tiny sword that has a barrel attached to it. There's also the fact that WAR was highest DPS in Heavensward and Stormblood, and people want that back. And then some people just wish WAR had cool abilities for 70-80 instead of what they got.

At the end of the day the spam is still in response to mod-sanctioned off topic garbage, in addition tranny/dilate have been flooding boards for months, /g/ especially since /pol/ decided to flood it with firefox tech support threads then decided not to leave

>doing it for the challenge and the enjoyment of overcoming something as a team is unthinkable

Guess the allure of that has worn off. Maybe if my old static were together or I even had time to commit to one. The party size is just large enough that there's a frustratingly high chance pugging you get at least one guy wiping a party and then other members slowly degrading in performance as they become fatigued/bored with repeated attempts. Loot isn't all of it, but it is one motivator to help push through the slog.

A good place to meet fellow Diaperfags. Especially on Aether and Crystal though I wonder why there are rarely any lala-diaperfags. Its always cats and dragons with an increase in Hrothgar.

did they forget that theguy with the tiny sword can cast holy magic? or the guy with the tiny sword with the barrel attached to it can add explosions to his slices?
WAR having the highest DPS in HW and SB was one of the reasons they were mostly a guaranteed slot, now you can freely pick the tanks without one slot being reserved.
I can see why they would want cool abilities, got kind of shafted there, but at the same time, Fell Cleave is the core of WAR's job identity now and that's how they seem to like it
WAR is in a good spot without overshadowing the other tanks, remember, this is a good thing

It's absolutely a good thing. I'm disappointed WAR's kit is still just MEME CLEAVE and MEME CLEAVE ACCESSORIES, but at the very least the tanks are mostly equal barring DRK's absolutely fucking stupid mitigation, which honestly isn't even that big of a deal. WAR will likely see more use in fights that have less uptime, though PLD basically has a guaranteed slot even then because they're just repeating the same mistake they made with HW PLD.

I agree with you, since I'm a PLD main. I'm just repeating things my friends have said and things from shout chat.

I think he's saying that it's terrible BECAUSE it's singleplayer despite being an "mmo".

HE'S IN

Trusts allow you to blow through massive swathes of the game's story more or less singleplayer. 100% multiplayer is popular-perception of the game but hasn't applied for around ten years.

He's calling FFXIV a terrible single player MMO and I have to agree. It's a barebones version of WoW, which is terrible in of itself, and it prides itself on an aspect that should be a focus of a single player game not a game whose entire genre is about social interaction and interacting with the world at large. A chosen one story is pretty egregious in an MMO setting.

why the fuck are there brazilians in an EU server

I lost interest in savage when I realised the only difficulty is finding 7 other people capable of following instructions.

Shadowbringers was absolute kino though, more than worth the 100s of hours I put in to get there.

Dotafag here, I haven't played in a while but they'd flood NA servers despite both having their own and not understanding the game isn't TDM

The game is intensely profitable even without the kinds of uber-money it would have going F2P, problem being most of that money gets funneled into Square Enix and whatever bullshit it has going on. The money from cash-shop sales and the claim in general is dated to somewhere around Heavensward, if I'm remembering right, and was used to expand and improve server infrastructure. Probably there's quite a lot more money being kept inside XIV now because of Yoshida's spot as a general manager for an entire development wing of Squeenix, his place on the Board of Directors, and Shadowbringers actually being advertised worth a pinch.

It's an excellent thing that the game isn't F2P, short-term it is an absolute death-knell for any kind of community a game has and long-term it's pure moneygrubbing.

>The game is intensely profitable even without the kinds of uber-money it would have going F2P
Why do XIV fags love spouting this lie? Sure it saved them as a hail mary but at this point all their Gacha games shit on FFXIV in terms of profit. They require lower operating costs than XIV and produce significantly more than XIV could ever dream of off images alone.
>Probably there's quite a lot more money being kept inside XIV now
Yet they struggled to make 2 new races which only really required hiring more modelers something that isn't exactly exclusive to MMOs and can't be waived with the "Battle Designers" excuse. They also gave less glamours and unique models/textures on launch with promises of patching them in during ShB's lifespan. If they have money they're hoarding it for profit. The formula will be the same since Heavensward with little to no additional progression based content that isn't a one and done minigame.

You expect me to pay a monthly sub for this piece of shit? Stop shilling this garbage.

How do I know what vendor trash is and what is valuable crafting mats

A decent group has always been the biggest barrier of entry to high-end content. The problem with NA players, and I say this with all sincerity, is that everyone thinks they're hot fucking shit and refuse to put the time in to learn the fight. Every time you attempt a party finder run on an extreme trial or a savage raid, you should fucking *expect* wipes, if you go into that shit expecting the group to fully mesh together with no trouble and for everyone to be on the same page, you are wrong AND stupid. Instead what happens is you get three players who are familiar with the fight but expect everyone to be equally familiar or to fully understand it by watching videos, which is for faggots, then you get two brand new players who are largely blind but otherwise decent, one or two braindead randos who wipes the whole party and blames everyone else because they think mechanics are for cars, and then you get the one absolute chad who just silently shows up and does everything perfectly without fuss and tries to actually teach people mechanics and foster group cooperation.

Is crafting leveling gear useless to use?

I've been playing this game for a good year now and still couldn't make a single friend. I dunno, people never talk, it's like uni all over again where people already know each others and never mix and I just play this game in solo. Feels like I'm missing something.

How many layers of irony are you on to think that because other games are more profitable for less effort, a game is not profitable?

Most people are on Discord now a days user. Pair that with the fact that XIV follows WoW's streamlined version of gameplay interaction and you're guaranteed to just have a boring experience. Save your money and play something else.
user they never stated that the game doesn't make profit. Do you understand what comparisons are?

Gacha shit isn't a reliable income, and SE knows this given how many of their JP-only phone games they've shut down within a year of its release due to not meeting expectations. If their current money makers in the mobile area fall flat, they at least have XIV as their backup.

Never got the mentality.
FFXI was super profitable, I'm sure XIV is the same what have they got to lose putting more team members on? We could have less recycled assets and more dungeons every patch day.

They should really consider it since Shadowbringers is the highest rated FF game right now.

I do feel bad when the game screws them and the guy who needs to get the tether runs up to it and somehow it doesn't pass it and they're all like "fuck sorry guys :(" it's okay bro. it happens :(

>The game is intensely profitable even without the kinds of uber-money it would have going F2P

for what he quoted in response to the other guy it was almost a family guy cutaway-joke in terms of total irrelevance

Yes, it could achieve this with limited resources, therefore there's no need for more 'unnecessary' resources.

I miss being a newbie back in ARR and people banter and shit in fates. People actually wouldn't mind running low level content (not roulettes, actual dungeons) After heavensward the community changed. I don't know if I'm exaggerating but I can definitely feel it.

>How many layers of irony are you on to think that because other games are more profitable for less effort, a game is not profitable?
Did I ever say it wasn't profitable? I said the Gacha games shit on it in terms of Profits you mong. For less effort they'll produce significantly more than FFXIV could dream of, this does not equate to "FFXIV doesnt profit"
If only Square Enix was a massive AAA company that had modelers in other departments that they could swap in to help with projects as needed. Shame really but guess we got to accept this small sized company's limitations.
Yet they'll still shit it out on series on ends and they'll still produce more money . The fact that they're low effort makes the risk minimal as opposed to FFXIV.

Not that user, but it's not for a lack of trying. Up and coming game devs and programmers in Japan would rather work on the next big gacha game rather than an mmo. And working on FFXIV requires using a very specific toolset that is unique to the game. They can't even look to devs outside of Japan, because working on XIV as a developer requires complete fluency in Japanese and being willing to permanently relocate.

>Did I ever say it wasn't profitable?
"WOW WAY TO LIE" in response to what you quoted, pick your arguments better. Quote the right part of the sentence before you bring up something that has nothing to do with the rest of the paragraph.
>If only Square Enix was a massive AAA company that had modelers in other departments that they could swap in to help with projects as needed.
That's apparently not how it works since it doesn't happen, to our knowledge.
>Shame really but guess we got to accept this small sized company's limitations.

This is a fine thought if you were making profit but from the perspective of a Consumer you're essentially getting less from a product that is gaining more revenue than before. It's only natural for a consumer to assume the company would either keep on its standard for 3 expansions straight or expand properly, something XIV has failed on outside of ShB's story and music.

Fair enough user. Your logic is definitely sound but it's just odd to see people defend said mentality while being consumers.
>Oh get off your own high horse
user I do need to ask why you defend it while being on the consumer side of things? Is it not logical for consumers to want more from the company to create a happy medium?

Am I supposed to be against the game or what goes on under its hood for the sake of impressing strangers on the internet? In-game trends and developmental behavioral patterns have more evidence supporting staffing problems and past money-funneling than an anonymous poster on the internet does for claims the developers are willfully shit.

Get about 30-35 skills in the end, but I know you most likely already knew that.

I beat the story it was alright. Not a fan of the end game content. Gonna resub 3 months prior to the next expansion to catch up on story, etc like I always do.

it feels longer than Heavensward but I'm pretty sure it's shorter, took me I'd say roughly 20 hours

Literally no point in melding outside Ex/Savage

Melee is more fun than standing 20 feet away from the boss and only moving to dodge AoEs.
Also DRG mobility is just so good.

Get yours eyes checked.

it's longer. Stormblood has like 120 quests, HW has some 90

I disagree hard, standing still/planning movement and having build-up to spells makes everything feel far more impactful. Flipping constantly is fun, I'll admit

looks more like raubahn when he goes nuclear

I see it in the eyes.

Don't be a clicker.

Controller on PC master race; movement, combat etc. is a lot more fluid and I can just click UI shit

If they came back to the game, they might not know you can remove materia without destroying or they're leveling so fast they don't care

>"Janny/WoW-boogeyman" posting
This mainly started because usually threads were only deleted or moved at certain times of the day at one point.

I've played this game since before ARR. All of the end game content is just arena fights that are staged dance routines you have to memorize. I play a month when a patch comes out but I really just use it to do something while I watch YouTube or shows. It doesn't feel like a real world that FFXI and vanilla WoW had. Mods kept me interested because beating off to my catgirl is the only joy I can squeeze out of the game. Also I don't want to leave my FC because the leader is a good person with a good personality that deserves more members.

Make sure to report them as well.

I played heavensward some time ago. Should i buy shadowbringers? I enjoy doing the storyline content and some gathering and crafting. Im a level 60 warrior. I logged in with a free week of members but it was pretty hard getting back into it. Maybe i just need to get the new expansion so quests start popping up and i can hit it off from there.

Do it? And stick with warrior?

If you like doing the storyline content, then yes, it's definitely worth buying the new expansion and continuing.
As for playing warrior, one of the main features of the game is the ability to play multiple jobs on the same character, so feel free to try the other ones out if you get tired of your particular job or role.

Any job is fine to play through the story, if you like playing Warrior, keep playing Warrior.

I was in the exact same boat as you. Warrior is easy and sticking with it is a good choice, you'll want tank queues while you're catching up.

Dont plan on doing anything that requires actual skill tho. Its just that the trailers look really good and i dont mind playing solo trough it again just for the story.

It's a poorly designed fight that can't be reasonably beaten until gear catches up, or you get lucky enough to not have retards who choke at the end.
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put Quietus at the end of the fucking fight?
Why are you forced to play flawlessly for 9 minutes only to get cucked out of a clear right at the end because some retarded greedy fuck decided to get one more GCD in or they just forgot how to dodge easy fucking mechanics.

Using defiance before pull, deliverance after you have aggro doesn't really count as "management" especially when they are ogcds for WAR.

There's always ONE person who fucks everything up for the group, no matter how many times you replace that person the next is liable to be equally as bad if not worse. It's a never-ending struggle to so much as see Quietus with everyone still alive, let alone see them do Chaos and Retribution correctly without panicking and killing themselves while you watch with disappointment as all that good DPS goes down the drain and you contemplate jumping ship instead of suffering 2-3 more pulls

Is it even worth the difference in dps? I mean it's plain to see that NIN isn't even worth taking for trick attack anymore.

You're completely ignoring IB and SC along with the 20% damage reduction from the stance itself though, all of which are useful to keep in mind because stances were ogcds

I don't get it, can SCH still err on DPS side of things or are we just healsluts now
everything seems like it hits harder now

you would think in a jap game Ninja would get special treatment like SAM does
how did they fuck up NIN so bad?

things don't hit that hard. the trickis that your heals are about the same powerlevel as they were at 70.

Not him but im a 1.0 player from the Pre-Legacy servers/Job days. Have played up to ShB and even I have to admit the game is nothing more than a boring WoW-clone. At this point you really need to treat this game as a Glorified Single Player game since most of the content is just hallways or a circle/square arena with nothing really new to offer. Better off to play on launch and near the end of an expansion. MMOs in the Post-WoW era are pretty lackluster and unless you really want a glorified SP you're better off just fucking off to another genre as WoW/XIV are both games with pretty sterile worlds and sterile social communities.

I'm gonna get called out as a shill but fuck you, I'm answering the OP. Here's my review if you want the long of it:
youtu.be/9KZbjAmYRRQ
The short version: It's real fucking slow to get going but once you're 100 hours in, it's actually pretty damn good. Story is boring and slow at first but eventually becomes one of the best FF stories out there. Gameplay is basic as fuck at first but it gets really fun juggling skills at the higher levels. None of this is an excuse though; I cannot condone this game and will not recommend it unless you really understand what you're getting into. "It gets good 100 hours in" is a bad fucking game. And believe me, I tried to rush from Lv.1 to 35 (the limit of the free trial) on a single job and it took 15 hours. That's only one job and that's entirely skipping the story. It's fucking bullshit. Just don't play this game, but if you really gotta play an MMO or if you're a huge FF fan, then it's not so bad in the long run. And I think I've played this shit enough to make that assertion.

FF11 did a fantastic job at presenting a living, breathing world. Shit like the ships running on a real time schedule is fucking incredible. The scale and scope of the world also felt massive, and doubly so considering how slow your character runs. However, it also makes the game infuriatingly slow. Everything about FF11 was insanely slow paced. FF11 poured all its points onto the adventure, and the gameplay suffered for it. Don't get me wrong, skill chains is fucking rad but ganging up to kill one monster, then having everyone sit down for three minutes, then ganging up on another monster, and repeat forever does not make for good gameplay. FF14 is more average throughout but at least it's more of a game. I fucking love FF11 but you need to have a saint's patience to enjoy it.

how do I know if I'm doing good dps in a leveling dungeon?

I'm a new player and got my dragoon to 80 a few days ago. When should I be using stuff like lance charge and battle litany in my rotation? I usually try to use charge before disembowel to buff the dot, but I dont know if that's worth it.

Don't listen to him, he mains a fem Raen

Are things dying?
Who cares about DPS in a leveling dungeon if things go down reasonably fast?

because I want to be number 1 dps in the party. i don't want NO ONE TO SURPASS ME

If you're #2 on aggro

but that just means the tank does more damage than me. I want to be number 1

Battle Litany after your 2nd GCD, then whenever it's available
Lance Charge with Battle Litany in your 2nd GCD, then whenever it's available. As you use it throughout the fight, it'll naturally line up with Battle Litany for every other use.

The only exception to this is for coordinated buffing with your party, but you likely wont be doing that.

What if XIV's next QoL update has Eureka's Relics able to be upgraded with Poetics? You'd still have to level, but not have to worry about things like light grinding.

Would you do Eureka then?

The main tank should always be #1 on aggro because they gain bonus aggro you retard. Tank damage is also far inferior to dps damage so unless you're god damn fucking awful your only competition should be the other dps in the party.

I already do Eureka

can i tell my tank to turn off their tank stance off then for one run just to see if I have the most damage? i'll give him the enmity back once i know i can hit number 1

Do that and post the result ITT please.

I'd only do it if you could get a dyeable verison of the weathered relic without the glow

SAM

Sadly enough if you do enough dps by playing your job correctly I've drawn more aggro than half the tanks I've played with in random dungeons which is sad considering they are brain dead easy to play.

Should be literally impossible to take aggro off a tank in tank stance unless they're outright not hitting an enemy. I'm assuming you're talking about you using aoe and taking mobs off the tank because they're doing single target and therefore not generating aggro on everything.

:thinking:

I make sure to skim all the tooltips and decide which ones I need to put on easy to hit hotkeys.

Put everything in my hotbar, before I would adjust as I go but it turns out that swapping even only two skills melt my peanut brain when I have to adjust my habits.

I'm quite meticulous with how I set up my keys, and try to find flow where I can. Abilities that flow in to each other in a rotation will either be 1-2-3-4-5, or they'll be bound to a Shift or Control modifier, or similar abilities on the same button.

For example, all of my SCH's AOE healing is on my 4 key.
All of my hard casts like Broil, Adlo, Succor are on plain number keys.
Ruin II and Art of War are on my Shift modifier, as well as all of my Aetherflow abilities.
All core Fairy Abilities are on one key.
Abilities that I use a lot are on plain non-number keys, Q, E, R, F, and V. Aetherflow is Q, Energy Drain is E, R is Excog, F is Biolysis, V is Whispering Dawn.
Summon Seraph is Ctrl + Q, Consolitation is Ctrl + E.
And anything else that doesn't have a "flow" to it is just placed wherever. Such as

Because you were talking about 'doing enough dps to take aggro from a tank', which in this scenario is literally 'more than 1 point of damage'.

Find a static or continue suffering in PF

I gave up. I've joined a static that hasn't even touched E1S.
Even if you clear, the weekly parties are going to be just as bad since it feels as if most retards are only going to clear on a fluke. And it's going to be like this until average iL is 470.

It's fun for the MSQ I guess even though the story isn't near as good as most ffxiv fags try to pretend it is. The end-game is also dull for me personally though I know some people enjoy the game play enough to continue but it's kind of obnoxious this game gets as much attention as it does on Yea Forums.

it's like WoW but with better shinier graphics and worse almost everything else
the only major things it really has over WoW besides graphics and music is the housing system and the job-switching feature (i do like the controller support as well, it's surprisingly intuitive)
honestly the thing i disliked the most about XIV was how there's so many people playing and yet the game is just dead silent, nobody ever talks outside of their own personal discords, and while that's also an issue with WoW it's way less prevalent and people are 1000x more social on that game

You're completely normal in feeling that way as even the devs have stated as much and developed the game to only have so much replay value. Don't let autists here make you feel guilty about taking a break.

words don't really get filtered unless they overrun the catalog. S.oy got filtered when it got spammed all over when GoW came out. Seethe cope dilate mostly pop up within threads

MNK = Goku
SAM = Vegeta
BLM = Beerus
SMN = Gohan

so what the fuck is going on in the Shadowbringers trailer, in hindsight?

I regret buying this. On top of buying the game and subs, they still lock additional inventory and cool outfits behind paywall. I hope MMO dies along with this business model.

kek too accurate

Hahahahahahaha
>Kicked

You = Autist

The same content all the time, story and art are nice though. Very little actual content.

MNK is not outdpsing blm at relevant ranks

yes the triangle strat. its great for healers and ppl who can parse well. PF kids can't parse well.

What the scions did while they were in the 1st, before you arrived.

it's shit happening in the first before we arrive Like that fort in Rak'Tika burned to the ground was during the cinematic.

Wanna hear a joke?
NIN

All the non-WoL scenes are of events that occurred before you went to the First, and the WoL scenes are basically complete fabrications that never happen in game.

Oh, I guess that makes sense. Thancred did mention fighting the Lion. But what about the WoL? Where the fuck are they?

>giving even half a shit about melding for leveling dungeons

There's nothing wrong with MMO's from a theoretical standpoint but devs are too greedy to be satisfied by a subscription fee alone.

It happened to SAM now it's your turn, monk bro.

but then what's up with the part with the gremlin

Just a flashy way of showing us being the warriors of darkness. Any actual thing the WoL did in the expansion would be very spoilerly im assuming.

Highlander
PLD
Maelstrom
Nidhogg EX and Twinning
Leviathan's theme with the female vocalist

More like it happened to MCH

It was Emet-Selch in his fursuit.

I figure the duel with Zenos with the WoL winning was from G'raha's doomed timeline.

He's talking about the brisk walk in Lakeland(?)

Some people were theorizing it's going to happen where you lose your powers and the first gets fucked in the patches. I just say it's off screen fuckery in the source.

NIN is worth taking if you have a top-tier NIN player. But yes, in general, a constant 1% raidwide damage buff is pretty significant.

G'raha said win or lose the same thing would happen

I have a more decorated history than you. Your opinion is discarded.

How do you guys still not understand Ryne is for anal only?

Emet

No it was just something to look 'cool', like blasting open the light sky with darkness, when in game you never canonically use darkness and the light just fucks off by itself after beating the lightwardens except for the first one.

RP fluff like in the HW trailer where he was angsting over the scions and fought that dragon.

Why did they think RoF making you go slow was a good idea in the first place?

You can't play every job when you can only gear up one.

Same reason they didnt add GL4 in SB, dont want to widen the gap between good players and shit players.

I'm not the one claiming to be a legacy player or a ultimate raider

Who here afk crafting here using a bot? ;)

>tranny the game
yikes

Im confused, is the Crystal Exarch actually from the tower or is he just some random kid who heard the tales of the WoL and then got introduced to the tower?

rof was fine in SB because you had more ogcds than you do now.

You can gear up plenty though?

Not BiS gear.

>He didn't do the crystal tower
Lmao you dumb retard.

Because you actually needed in in Shadowbringers to weave all your oGCDs. Now that they're gone there's no reason for it to slow you down anymore but now you have to have sub 50 ping and 60 FPS or you literally can't do the opener

A drawback to the huge damage boost I guess, but they could've handled it better than going slow. Like slight DOT or preventing you from using oGCDs

You don't need BiS gear for anything except ultimates.

Can't you just gear using crafted gear and overmeld the shit over it? Wouldn't that be better than tomes gear at least?

dont really care to be honest, if anything it makes me feel better since they're too much of a pussy to type in chat

dumb keyboard warrior

>but now you have to have sub 50 ping and 60 FPS or you literally can't do the opener
wait what

Theres another opener but it feels really awkward doing FC before BH and delaying a couple GCDs more

Is it possible to avoid running into some cunt you've blacklisted without making the party yourself?

>slow opener
>TFC before Bhood
>delays PB by several GCDs
>does a raw bootshine during ROF
yeah it's a really awkward alternative.
If you clip the GCD by more than about 0.1s total across two GL3 double weaves then you drop GL4. If you don't have 60 FPS then your GCD is slightly slower which makes you drop GL4.

a good raid group in 5.0 would have mnk drg and two blm :^)

That depends on subjective taste but PLD is in a better state than DRK currently

It would be MNK, DRG, DNC, BLM actually, since you lose 1% party DPS if you don't bring a ranged cuck

I'm pretty sad, I knew I couldn't double weave some things but even at 70ping I have to settle for shit internet opener. I mean, how much do you fuck up not doubleweaving FoW and PB?

Your highest level dungeons available.
Since you're a healer you get free queues.

that sucks, the Crystal Tower raids are basically the prequel to the ShB storyline, the stinger for the end of the CT raids was the first bit of foreshadowing we got for ShB, all the way back in 2.5
if you were confused on who the Exarch was, do those raids

I like monk, bard and dancer.
Bard is fun since you'll never run out of shit to do, same shit with monk but with the advantage of farting out fucking lightning and volcanos
