All the people that weren't in statics that would be in learning parties either already cleared or fucking gave up.

Can't exactly
Squadrons are better cause they actually fucking AoE but they can't go up to 80 which is lame

Wait until you have to level the niggers.

what do XI trusts do better

I've just finished my first 30 days in XIV and I have to say its the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a video game.
I will not be subbing again. I would get a refund if I could.
If you like dress up and ERP its great(you are a faggot), but if you want an actual game you are going to be sorely disappointed.

The animations are complete and total dog shit. We are talking PS1 level animations.
All the bosses are just "dont stand in shit".
The classes all have too many buttons that do the same thing(my class Dragoon has almost 20 buttons in its basic rotation).
The abilities aren't even interesting either, they are designed to be strictly used one after another in a VERY specific order. So specific that your next abilitiy will light up with an outline on the HUD/Action bar.
Everyone is ERPing and pretending to be girls CONSTANTLY. They erp in the general channels, they erp in your FC channel(I joined 7 different FCs and they were all ERPing non-stop).
Most people actively talk about being trans and taking pills.
One person was discussing how they will cut their leg, collect the blood, and inject it into their anus to simulate a menstrual cycle.
I haven't wasted any time on professions, but if the rest of the game is any indicator its probably not good.
The leveling is absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in a video game.
There are like 5 different types of quests you do, then they just repeat with different flavor text, you do these same 5 quests 1000 times each(I am not joking).
The story is total garbage
Everything takes place in tiny instances.
Every dungeon is a very narrow hallway with bosses living in circular arenas.
None of the male characters look masculine, but instead are faggy little cunts.

this should really have a line shitting on the music just to make it the perfect bait

This. Add a line saying the music is J-Rock garbage for guaranteed replies.

This is one of the worst baits I've seen yet.

i was the nigga poster in a certain board.
why the fuck is xiv community so full of snitches?

Can we just agree the ff14 gas the worst main story quest system of any mmo? Teleport back and forth for hours talking to people who are behind two loading screens. Making it through the arr quest line is a test of willpower with how boring and lacking gameplay.

Copypasta but all of it is true.

What Data center? There were 4-5 clear party's at 9pm EST on primal.

are they ever going to allow blue mage to use the dungeon finder? Its so dumb that you cant and I don't even want to level it without that option.

The fact that a MMO needed to add a single player mode is pathetic to begin with. XIV should have been a single player game rather than single player with chatroom.

only in the patches, and it's still better than GW2's system of making you wait 10 levels between story chapters in the base game, or make you grind reputation in the expansions, on top of making you pay for the between-expansion story if you don't login in the 2-week window it's available.

The idea is that the NPCs are shit to play with to encourage you to play with people. XI only added NPC partners once the game was dead and it was ltierally impossible to do shit without them.

Are Hrothgars the new male Miqo'tes?

Why would you? Dungeon finder is orders of magnitudes slower than leveling with overworld monsters. BLU doesn't level the way other jobs do, you're only going to poke your head into dungeons for a skill a monster in them has.

I've been playing since ShB came out and this is the first I'm learning about any of these problems.
I've never used Trusts once and I never will. Why the fuck woulld you use bots in an MMO?
Sounds like it's your fault entirely for engaging in this optional system.

Is it worth doing the SB and HW beast tribe and hunt dailies once I hit 70?

I honestly hate that they fixed the bug but didn't give anything to compensate. Fuck narcs and XIV community for snitching.

Isn't the main point of this system to help DPS players not be in queue for years and people trying to clear old content?

It would actually be faster for the DPSes to just sit in the queue than for the trusts to clear a dungeon. And they only work for Shad leveling dungeons.

It's baffling to me how they are willing to copy past such a massive amount of content directly from 11 into 14 but when it comes to important mechanics they suddenly go full retard.

>11 had a working Blue mage and now suddenly they can't figure it out
>11 had an amazing trust system, 14 fails at it with squads, trusts, and the chocobo partner

I honestly can't figure out what the point of it is. Best I can guess is it provides a stress free alternative to people who suffer from anxiety doing a dungeon the first time and are afraid of fucking up in front of other people. There really are no advantages to using it ever. I've never touched it.

Dungeons will always be best if you make some friends and run it with them (it's not too hard to make friends in an MMO, I promise.)
Failing that just playing with randoms is better than bots.

>11 had a working Blue mage and now suddenly they can't figure it out
yes because the two games totally have the same gameplay

If it takes 20 minutes to get a que then you might as well be running Trust.

I can't defend the Butchery of BLU and I won't, but NPC partners in XIV are most likely intentionally shit to get you to run dungeons with actual players instead.

They already said that's one of the main reasons they added them, because of pussy faggots who have anxiety about group play.

Sometimes your friends aren't on or busy. You can't expect them to server you 24/7.

I was late in rathalost party and would like to farm it but not having clear and DF is dead my only option is PF.
But all PF groups demand clear and I get shotdown when I ask them. I have fucking tried bribery and got shotdown.
I wish I was not such a timid fuck and could man up and make my own PF for it.

I expect you to have more than three friends.

The idea that they could just slap FFXI's BLU into FFXIV is painfully ignorant. XIV has rigid roles and the jobs need to support it.

In this case they (wrongfully) assumed BLU's customization was more important than it fitting into the XIV ecosystem, which was a miraculously stupid assumption. Now nobody gets to be happy.

Attached: 1564412606055m.jpg (1024x576, 59K)

What's there to defend

in between dungeons its free exp and hunts if you have use for centurions.

Your trusts take twice as long to level than you do. You might as well sit in queues and do sidequest+fates

They changed it, they gain like 3x as much EXP now

Nevermind then. I suck cocks.

Will this game ever have a glamour system similar to WoW/GW2 appearance customization, in which you unlock the skins permanently and can keep track of what's left to unlock?

Cause not having this is imo XIV's biggest flaw.

If they tried to make it fit into the XIV ecosystem they'd instead have to deal with a horde of paint huffers complaining about it not following muh class fantasy (like they did with RDM and SAM). BLU is dead in the water.

Well thankfully they suck some balls. Their strength is that with them you will reliably clear the dungeon eventually, in a very long time while grabbing every piece of gear for yourself each time.
Imagine if they were more efficient than players. The game we have is already lukewarm on the whole MMO concept and we didn't need yet another nail.

Here's one better.

All you need is a healer friend, make a PF with 3 tanks and you'll clear because being a tank makes you almost invincible in there.
Rathalos Ex is rather terrible especially if you have high ping it becomes a nightmare so cheese it, it's okay, get your stuff. Surely you have one friend who will help you.

It's not exactly that.

>wasting resources on new features when completed Viera and Hrothgar would have done the same
God damn are these nips dumb

Player character models and animations and gear models to fit them are a shit ton more work than some AI partners for a handful of dungeons.

No they haven't, this was the first week you could get the phantasmagoria for them stop lying on the internet you sack of shit.

Yes, you can ignore using actual players and run each new dungeon with NPCs. They already plan to squash the base game's quests and do the same to their dungeons and instances.

but i literally only play with a group

Don't watch that fag.
For rathalos you hit him, someone mounts it, hide behind the mammoth and then you STAY BEHIND HIM AT ALL TIMES. He will swoop above this entire arena to fuck you up in one swing so stay behind him and hit him, don't get hit.

Attached: 1425920734822.gif (347x308, 1.84M)

If you could use trusts for savage I would've cleared Titan by now

Rathalos Ex honestly doesn't deserve a guide but here, this is how you beat him

Phase 1: hit him, avoid attacks, tail swipe is two 180 degrees around him. If targeted by aoe, healer can cleanse debuff, or simply regen through it since it's weak as shit
phase 2: Adds come. Tank grabs them and puts them near rathalos so boss kills adds for you
phase 3: garula comes. Tank gets garula, healer stays to heal, someone else goes on rathalos to mash qte
phase 4: don't be in front of him, bait stack puddles at the edge, heal as necessary. Hit the tail when he falls down. Seriously, that's it.

I've been leveling my DPS by using the trust
I walk near an enemy and alt tab to youtube. Then I tab back in after a few minutes and repeat with the next group

It works pretty well, I only have to do the bosses and those don't take that long
Definitely slower than leveling with friends or roulettes but if you're on late and don't want to put in any effort you can just do this
Fuck having to practically solo these bosses though

Copy and past but change all the XIV text with wow

I thought you couldn't cure in the fight and the only way to cure is to use potions?

11's trusts are meant to play the game for you. XIV's trusts are for players who don't want to wait in queues

You can heal in the first half of the fight, but not the second half.
This makes healers a valid choice to bring along so that you save on potions for later, but it's still easily possible to clear without one.

Yes indeed buta healer will need to esuna the numerous poisons and fire dots.
Are 4 paladins able to cure each other to survive the dots? Did anybody try?

What should I level next? I have MCH DNC SCH/SMN and considered BRD but it looks like it didn’t get changed much or any cool new skills

Any tank/healer works, but the best would probably be WHM/DRK since WHM can still shield in phase 2 and DRK's mitigations + TBN can outright block damage from stacks by itself, saving the team potion uses.

Tanks can also use invulns to take stacks by themselves.

BLU needs to be deleted from the game

FFXI trusts were introduced because you literally could not find other people to play with. FFXIV does not need a system like that, because it's still a super populated game. There has been the ongoing, much lesser, problem of long queue times for MSQ instances though, and that's the primary thing FFXIV Trusts are made to solve.

That said, holy shit they need to fix Squadrons. The bare minimum would be to let Squadron members become Trusts and/or let Trusts become Squadron members.

XIV's Trust addition was to solve a problem (players whining about queue times) and to future-proof its single-playerness as they slowly backport it to older content.

that sound effect indicating the down meter in the rathalos fight is the most out of place thing in the entire game, more so than the rathalos itself. What purpose does it serve?

He's directly responding to this guy pointing out that some people were upset that RDM was going to be a Magic DPS, instead of a hybrid class that couldn't possibly work in XIV.

Of course, once people actually played the job, most of them loved it. There are very few people (if any) who are still upset over RDM's implementation.

While BLU would be more likely to have ongoing complaints if it had been made into a full, but more rigid job, it certainly wouldn't have the amount of complaints it has now, as a useless piece of shit that absolutely nobody plays.

>(it's not too hard to make friends in an MMO, I promise.)

It's just not as good as what came before or what comes after.

No, because they don't need to maintain server costs so they can't justify squeezing me for shekels.

I recently started DRK and from DPS background I find myself enjoying tanking except when retarded dps tries to speed run quarn not realising that 35 tank and heal do not have the same tools as people up in 70+ content.

It doesn't even make sense. the Scions aren't irresponsible children who are going to run off into danger without thinking (or at the very least, they aren't anymore). If Urianger says, "Listen, here's what's going on, and here's why I think it's a bad idea for you to follow your instincts. I have a plan." they will listen to him. Even Alisaie has evened out enough to heed good advice.

All his keeping secrets does is continue to sow distrust.

>give dps instant ques at the cost of a dungeon taking longer than 15 minutes
Not worth it

The ending quests are fun, and having everything unlocked is nice.

It's just an unfortunately too common storytelling tactic to drag everything the fuck out.

>25min dungeon vs. 15-20min queue + 15-30min dungeon

>all those people that joined the party
The guy should have gotten banned, but instead he probably got a bunch of "friends" how bow to his every stupid whim because they're afraid of a single retard dying.

So what the fuck will the 5.X msq series be about? Eventually we need to figure out how to get the Scions essence back to the Source, but with half of that crew already involved in the raid storyline, it'll probably take the backseat for 5.4/5.5 when they rev up expansion-pack setup mode. So what does that leave for 5.1-5.3?

Time to deal with more bullshit in the source. Oh no, black rose is about to be used anyway, better go stop it.

I figure that would be part of the expac setup as 6.0 comes out and has us fuck around with the southern regions of the continent they teased back in 4.X alliance story, and delay Garlemald crap further.

If you're expecting Drakengard at all you're just setting yourself up for the disappointment, my dude. I'd even be surprised if we saw anything from the first Nier.

The Yorha raid is just going to be a bunch of recycled enemy models from the game anyways.

Ivalice was half and half and recycled bosses did original things anyway, I don't see a problem.

Just unsub and play the raid during some free login, no need to force yourself.

Except it's yoko taro. There's going to be a child molester some where in the quest line.

I gave up pugging after e1s. I heard e2s is worse and my patience has reached its limit.

Unless the focus goes to the Oracle of Darkness, which would allow Thancred and Urianger to leave.

I honestly don't care about parses at all when playing healer. I was just replying. It's such bullshit getting oranges on healer because there's so much out of my control that affects how much damage I can deal and I don't want to force people to play perfectly just so I can have a good number too.
Also I melded as much piety as possible for prog

My healers use to do a thing last expansion. One week one basically solo heals while the other dps then they switch for their 99s

parsing is for after you have shit on farm, if at all

While this is possible to do, it's frowned upon for many reasons and honestly makes your logs look worse if you're applying for a static since it makes it look like all you're capable of doing is pressing one button and keeping dots up.

What you're supposed to do is work with your team, especially your co healer, to bring out the best in each other so that you both parse high. Two healers dpsing well typically averages out to be considered a 5th dps on the team while having a "main healer" and "off healer" is always objectively worse.

Is it me who got better, or this raid is just absolutely fucking trash difficulty level? The only hard thing in the entire tier was Titan's DPS check and that's literally it

Anyway week 1 is for tryhards, week 2 is still very ok, week 3 and forward is for losers who need the tome weapon to clear

Attached: 1518231268160.jpg (500x668, 69K)

it isn't you. Fuck titan actually gets easier once he becomes big titan. Honestly you shouldn't expect difficulty in the first raid tier. Still better than Deltascape atleast.Anyway save harsh judgement for if the ultimates are too easy

>ultimates
Hope they wont go with the obvious and honestly boring Alexander

I too found it pretty easy. It's basically Deltascape level except the first fight is slightly harder and the third one is slightly easier. Pugfags complain about Voidboy and getting bullied by floaty boys but hey, basic pattern recognition is required to play this game, what can I say.

I want Thordan Ultimate more than anything in the world user.

Even the other healer congratulates him, and yet he still ends up dying to the most simplest of mechanics because he waited too long to move whilst waiting for the cast of his one damage spell. I just want good players in my static for once, and prog not to take forever because of people dying to simple shit.

>more time mechanics
>boring
Bruh I'm still blue balled they didn't do anything interesting with Spell in Waiting. Imagine big brain combinations of spells going off at different times, travelling through time to stack with yourself, thinking you've killed the boss only to be looped back to the start but this time what you did in part 1 influences how part 2 is going to go, there's so much they can do with Alexander.

Creator was easy but incredibly fun, I'd like more Time stops solving mechanics too. That's not the problem.

Gordias and Midas were fun too on a certain degree, the challenge itself was fun, but the mechanics? Fucking hell no
Imagine mechanics like Nisi/Royal Pentacle/A8S Judgment pushed on the extreme limits, on an Ultimate fight level, fucking hell no
It would be the most annoying and shit fight in the entire game, so either put it as the 2nd/3rd Ultimate fight of the expansion, I'm not mentally ready for it yet

5.1 - 5.3
It'll be a mixture of us trying to figure out how to get the Scions back to the Source and learning about what happened while we were away. It'll start to build up us going to Garlemald to deal with Zenos' crazy ass. It'll start to paint Gaius as a better "good guy" so he can eventually become a better ally to us and take over as Emperor in 6.0.

Hopefully we'll get some Emet flashbacks and learn more about Amaurot.

5.4
The Exarch will finally have found a way to send everyone back and it'll be filled eith bittersweet goodbyes to all the friends everyone made over the "years" on the First.

5.5
It'll be about everyone dealing with adjusting back to their lives and new turn of events on the Source.

what is it with FFXIV and trannies?

Trannies love the aesthetics of anything japanese but they hate that they aren't trans centric so they try to co-op it. It's happening with anime right now

Lala is the way to go.

It's the high dps requirement that gets them. If it was more like 66k you'd have a lot better success. Trouble is at the moment if you end up in your average party where the healers do a combined total of 5k dps you're probably not going to clear.

Because I like the other jobs and hunts are nice to make money and titles. Plus it’s always something seeing 100+ people zerg down a mob.

They're both paper. With a WAR or DRK the SCH would have a lot more time to DPS.

Wrong. A proper DRK will literally ignore every single buster like it doesn't exist including all Savage content. Don't believe me? Watch the clear videos and observe the world-first DRKs taking 10% heath or less on every buster in every fight.

As a healer: DRKs (and WARs) are a dream to heal compared to PLDs or GNBs.

doing ShB's MSQ without doing Crystal Tower will lessen the impact of later scenes, it also gives them greater context
Alex and Omega are both related to the ShB post game dungeon and likewise will have much greater impact if you are familiar with the stories of both
CT, Alex and Omega are still run via roulettes, you should have little trouble knocking em out

>Plus it’s always something seeing 100+ people zerg down a mob.
I hate hunts because of this. They're not designed for big mobs. Those fights can be interesting with small parties. Look at gorilla in raktika. Fuck linkshells, world visit system and discord "hunt apps"

They suck up more resources with their invuln and in any situation with physical damage though. WARs self-heal more but at the cost of taking more damage as well.

The biggest problem with current AST in leveling is that it gets its ogcd heals too damn late.

Literally no reason to bring SAM right now. MNK and DRG are both stronger and just as braindead since 5.05.

>doesn't cover the entire stonecrusher
Are you ACTUALLY retarded, or have you only ever played with completely retarded WARs?

Can't think of why Shukuchi is better than Tackle. As a DPS you want to be hitting something always and if you need to dodge something you have Sprint and a passive that boosts your movement speed automatically.

You don't actually want that trust me. If shukuchi did damage, it'd just be another ability you have to weave on cooldown every time.

The fact that WHM MUST save Bene for LD, rather than just using it as another ogcd, makes it unbelievably shit to heal.

Either sell those mats or store it in your retainers. If you ever need that shit, you can always buy it back. Bare mats don't often cost much unless it's shit from a timer. Some older mats are used for ShB crafting though, but again, they're really not expensive.

I wouldn't mind if it did 0 damage if it got a cooldown reduction or longer range instead of it being exactly the same as Tackle.

Why do they always seem to fuck up good things? What cunt at Square thought releveling them would be a grand idea?

Jesus christ that was my first time doing praetorium. Also who thought that not being able to skip cutscenes was a good idea? The whole didint feel that dramatic, everything was nuked to oblivion within 3 minutes. What an underwhelming ending. Are all the ending dungeons or whatever gonna be like this?

Shukuchi has two charges. Shukuchi resets after Raiton/Katon/Huton. It's ultimate gap closer and can be free aimed. It's allow you to take risks for maximum uptime. Even SAM has better gap closer than MNK.

>paperGNB thinks they aren't making their healers work MUCH harder than they should
I pity your healers. You should be ashamed.
There's a reason that literally every single world first in this patch cycle in both Savages and Extremes has had a DRK or WAR MT.

Only ARR MSQ dungeons suffer from that.

Finished Heavensward and now in post content, game improved a lot from ARR but man Alphinaud was great in ARR, now with the voice change and he barely talking he lost a lot of charm

I can only see using it once in actual PVE fights and that's only as a niche "oh shit" moment. You're better off just sprinting or using your passive increased movement speed. The reset seems useless 95% of the time. Kind of like how Shoha feels useless except for niche moments like phase changes.

SE learned their lesson after those two dungeons, nothing else is near as long as them and everything is skippable

Such dilation...this was NOT my intention

But we do see from the Gerolt, Rowena and the merchant guy copies that near identical equivalents do exist.

You don't need to do Alexander/Omega, just start them. Crystal Tower is the one that matters for ShB's main story

Macro strats? What's that mean? Like making a macro that says "The boss is casting dilate, turn away" ?

The best part is soloing this guy at the end using the relog trick to skip the cutscenes. Everyone else hears your characters attack grunts while he just talks in the curscene.

Honestly if you haven't played PC first then you won't see anything noticeable. Just make you sure you set the UI to big so it doesn't strain your eyes.

>not doing light during ShB and switching back to dark after the MSQ is over

Ps4 is the best to just relax and play in your bed and some jobs are 1000 times easier to play on controller with.

This, set system UI to 150% otherwise the text in textboxes will be too small to read. You can adjust the other elements of the HUD manually.

Make sure you check out the controller settings too because there's some useful stuff in there that can be easily missed such as additional cross hotbars for pressing both triggers and such.

Has anyone ever seen an improvement when using Pro Mode over Standard mode? The only thing I notice in Pro Mode is a FPS drop but no visual improvements.

The MSQ is dreadfully uneventful except a couple high points until the last two arcs which are very long, it makes the expansion feel like it drags a lot so get ready for that. Extra content is usually good in XIV but in Stormblood it's leagues better than MSQ, however none of it is mandatory so if you are trying to powerlevel to Shadowbringers you'll miss everything fun. I hope you've been doing Hildibrand and leveling your crafters.

It's only for those 2 dungeons. The reason it's unskippable is because newbies were complaining about how they are just walking and the dungeon is already done within 5 minutes or so.

Some third party tools/bots have a skip cutscene cheat, which I'm guessing forcibly skips even the unskippable ones.

you can also skip cutscenes without cheats by just relogging. it's what I do for the final fight in praetorium because you can solo lahabrea in less time than it takes to watch the cutscene.

>last time went to Dun Scaith was in 3.5

>completely fuck up Deathgaze because by the time I remember what to do for a mechanic, it has already gone off
That was pretty embarrassing

Not at all.

I'm pretty sure one is coming for 5.1 everyone I know is already team building for it.

I did it yesterday and about half the alliance fell off because of that wind mechanic. Apparently nobody has Arm's Length or Surecast on their hotbar.

why be embarrassed? dying is all part of video games

Yes you're, in average you should still be blowing 100+ gcds in broil per savage fight just like you'd do back on SB.

Because Deathgaze is incredibly easy.
Not that any of the Alliance raids are hard.

yeah and you just forgot, nothing wrong with that. there's so many mechanics of course it will happen eventually

I last played SCH in HW. It wasn't like that back then. And I don't care about savage fights, that's not the entire game.

>but on the bright side Estinien helps out as a Trust NPC (but if he dies from lack of heals then you wipe)

I like how you tried to sneak WAR in the same tier as DRK even though they have literally NOTHING compared to TBN; cooldown wise WAR is just a shittier GNB.

thank god ffxi still exists

And now you have a Bene that you can no longer be used on anything else, where as every other tank in the game can just be casually topped off at the healers leisure.

I can't believe I was raiding with these fucking fags, they literally didn't know what to do unless they were fucking told so, I thought they knew the sequence, I didn't realise they fucking needed the callouts because they didn't bother learning it
being in a static was a headache, pugging has also been a pain in the ass, I'm probably just going to drop Savage altogether, I'm just having no luck at all.

And it only got worse after ED was added. Might as well remove lustrate/indom/soil/excog. Nobody uses that shit anymore over muh energy drain parse.

Not as bad as the WoD I had a couple of hours ago. We wiped to Cerberus because no tanks would pick up the adds and proceeded to kill the healers and people kept getting stuck in the goo.

I mean is some situations your fairy can do most of the healing, and even healers need dps to achieve rage timer breakpoints.

Healers need a rework.

Would anyone notice if I were to join a titania group as THM?

if you dont use soil over ed i dont know whats wrong with you
that shit is stupidly op, 10% erduction and more healing than a lustrate on all who are inside
leaving less healing on the gcd and thus more broil
same for seraph

Only retards care about parse. You should clear it and then when you can clear it well and know the fight THEN you should parse.

or just delete FFlogs and be at peace without worrying about autism

Nah imagine not even being able to fucking COLOR your gear. XI was great and all but it's had it's time. Move on.

I hate what they've done to blue mage. It's one of the only design decisions in any game that's actually made me angry. The amount of work they wasted on this fucking non-job is incredible. They even gave it /cpose, /vpose, and /bstance. They could spend a tenth of the time they spent on their stupid solo instance bullshit just actually balancing the job and actually have something cool, but instead they have created another fucking Lord of Verminion.

They claim they're adding 4 player full Blue Mage party content in the next update it gets, that might be cool.

Simple fix, everyone is happy. ED was re added because SCHs were bitching about MP, so it's time to remove the damage part.

It's "free" oGCD damage, it could do 10 potency and parseniggers would still spam it as much as possible instead of using their Aetherflows on SCH's busted healing kit

>Get Dun Scaith

it's always the void ice that sets everything up for disaster, too

People still wipe to that.

ruin II + ED = 350 potency in one gcd which is more than broil III 280 and that's enough to make SCHs get all wet over it and because SCHs are now blowing up their heal resource on dps the co healer now has to gcd heal to keep the party alive despite not using ED resulting on higher group dps.

>The animations are complete and total dog shit.
A ridiculous claim. FFXIV has the best animations of any non Korean MMO out there at the moment. You want bad animations? Go play ESO.
>The classes all have too many buttons
Go play WoW then, brainlet. If three buttons is all you can handle, you should feel right at home.
>The abilities aren't even interesting either
Subjective. I like the effects, and the Bard in particular really nails the feeling of being a magically empowered archer.
>they are designed to be strictly used one after another
Every hotbar MMO will have an optimal rotation. I don't really see an issue with taking this one step further and making sure abilities build on one another in a way that feels naturalistic and fun to play out. Think of it like you're playing a certain tune each time with occasional refrains/variations in tempo depending on mechanics.
>Everyone is ERPing and pretending to be girls
Total bait. I've played on Light for the past four months, and I haven't encountered one instance of this. Maybe it's a burger thing.

Congratulations, you've only gone and avoided one of the most fulfilling and fleshed out aspects of the game.

Why? Fetch quests aren't even that bad and at least the game has a compelling narrative, if your ritalin addled brain can manage to read more than two lines of text, that is.
>There are like 5 different types of quests you do
That's three more than every other MMO out there currently and more than a good deal of RPGs too.
>The story is total garbage
In what way? The game has one of the most well realized narratives of its kind.
>Everything takes place in tiny instances.
Fair point. I don't like this either.

I hear this all the time; it's just an absurd claim. FFXIV has: tethers, timers, cleaves, tank swaps, DPS checks, instant death, various kinds of telegraphed AOEs, various kinds of non telegraphed AOEs, environmental hazzards, limit breaks, enrages, bosses with multiple phases etc.

The Thunder God fight alone (an easy boss from the latest 24 man raid) is more interesting than 99% of the bosses you'll find in other MMOs.

that's a silly thing to say

This is the undoing of PFs. PFing is a process, not a slam dunk. You filter out the shitters until you've cobbled together a party of competent-enough players to clear the content. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours. However, for whatever self-destructive reason, people will happily dissolve a half-competent party to restart the entire process by joining 7 other PFs. It's an insane ritual.

I had a e3s the other day. 7/8 people. One jackass dancer who couldn't stop playing in the fucking water. After 40min of attempts, she leaves and the party quickly unravels. Why? We could have filled that spot in minutes and cleared in less than an hour. What was the rationale for disbanding? Was everybody only expecting to play for 40 minutes? Was everybody in a static? Or were we observing the Law of the PF because we're deathly afraid of success?

the real trouble is that you don't know you're in a trap party until the very end

Squadrons can actually AoE and do really good damage, so I don't know what happened between Squadrons and Trusts

Squadron's can't do mechanics.

People are herd animals. If one animal leaves more are soon to follow. Add in a little superiority complex and you have a recipe for disaster. Just blacklist the one that leaves first and move on.

Do people still not understand how LD works? Jesus christ it's been how many years now?

Is there anything better than watching people fight for shitty housing plots and watching the tears flow when one of the many sitting at the plot wins? Or even better, watching all of those people fight for a plot for hours only for someone to transfer their house onto that plot, starting the waiting game all over again?

Instant gratification is the name of the problem. Most are sick with that illness.

Ego over practical applications.

Trusts are fine, the vibe I get from a lot of posts complaining about it is that they tried them once in Holminster Switch and didn't like that it didn't clear as fast as a well-oiled player run of the dungeon.
