Now that MMOs are dead, can we finally agree that this is the best one out of the bunch you can play today?
>>332515954
Is there a sub based MMO besides WoW and this game that's still alive?
>>332516057
Eve and FFXI
But both of those games are rapidly declining.
>TFW you cuck the whiny tank and boot him from the group for harassment
I've played probably 1000 hours on 14. Absolutely love it. But I usually go 6 months without playing it and go back for a few hours. But I do believe it is the best one on the market atm.
>>332515954
Out of all the MMOs released these past few years, they can't seem to hold a candle to this one in terms of quality and playerbase amount.
>>332515954
All you do in this game is talk to NPCs how is it even an MMO?
>>332515954
It's good until you hit the gear treadmill endgame. Also the community is utter garbage. Get some friends to play it with you, or make some more in-game and you'll have fun.
Ever since they added the novice network the chat seems to be more alive than ever as a new player. Lots of people grouping up for dungeons and helping each other out here on Exodus.
>>332515954
Yo dawg i heard you like loading screens.
>>332516707
They suck but hardly a problem with a SSD, takes less than 5 seconds to load a Heavensward zone.
Literally nothing to do but one 4-stage raid
>>332516909
If all you care about is gear progression, sure.
>>332516978
What else is there to care about? Fishing for pixels? Glam glams and AFKing in Idyllshire? Fluff only matters when it supports the solid core gameplay.
Also, obligatory SHITTER DETECTED

Passive aggresive shits. Worst part is they are literally not needed in the new expert dungeons and only serve to drag dps down.
>>332517069
So it's not so much there's nothing to do, you just aren't interested in it unless it's stat-wise character progression.
What do you expect out of an MMO?
>>332517402
Answer the question
>>332515954
It's not, even if you exclude actual MMOs and just focus on themeparks.
I'm surprised this game is still alive, most sub MMOs these days go F2P after a few months like Wildstar and Tera.
>>332517516
How am I supposed to answer 'there's literally nothing else to do' when you don't consider anything you're personally not interested in as 'anything else to do'? You already disregard gathering and glamouring.
>>332515954
No, I'm afraid we can't.
Been playing the free trial for the past couple days. Dig the music and atmosphere. Been playing the pet caster class. How are the melee classes?
>>332516872
It doesn't matter that they don't take long. The loadings screens completely destroy the continuity of the world.
Having to experience 5 loading screens back to back just to fly to another city is unacceptable.
>>332517835
Oh man, fucking Wildstar. They sure changed their tune real quick.
>>332517976
Just teleport then.
>>332517835
F2P never ever
>>332515954
No all mmo's are trashy grind fests. Fucking stupid.
>>332517954
Deagoon/Lancer feels empty but after lvl 50 it gets a lot of good fun attacks.
Stick with Arcanist, it's helpful since it turns into both dps with Summoner and a healer (Scholar) and they both level at the same time since it sharers the same base class.
BDO brought back the magic of ffXI for like a week. Mostly because it does not explain SHIT. Then you hit endgame which is more akin to a classic korean grinder where the no lifers have complete control over PvP which is endgame for BDO.
this is the best MMO, FF14 wishes it had combat that was a tenth as good as this
inb4
>its instanced so its not an MMO
>>332518105
It's funny because FFXIV is suffering from all the problems it tried to avoid by going monthly-fee. People have gotten tired of the same shit being released with a new coat of paint in every patch. End of the day, the core gameplay is bland, there have been a few times when they've tried to do innovative things with it, but ultimately it's all just rehashed.
>>332517314
Fuuuck I can't for the life of me figure out how tanks fuck up so bad when they're level 60. For fuck's sake some of them can't even hold aggro.
You have 90% of your TP/Mana left faggot fucking use it.
>>332517402
>>332517840
How are any of the extra things you can do in FF14 anything that one could dedicate any amount of time to?
Literally everything could be summarized as terribly bland and shallow minigames, where in the time you actually have to commit to grinding them is in no way worth the lackluster rewards you get.
The only thing this game has going for it is the challenging primal ex fights, mainly because of dat music. Everything else is drivel.
>progression content is complete shit largely in part to unimaginative and uninspired content outside of ex-fights and a fuck awful community where in actually trying to get good is looked down upon as being elitist

If this game wasn't Final Fantasy, it would be free to play or dead right now, which is also ironic because there is almost fucking nothing "Final Fantasy" about it.
>>332517954
Monk and Ninja are pretty fun, their global cooldown gets shorter and shorter later and they get some sick moves that do a lot of damage without even triggering the GCD.
>>332518372
The relatively fast exp from FATEs means people can rush in, spam the same AOE attacks over and over, and eventually hit 60 with no idea how to actually play their class.
>>332518386

you just summed up FFXI
>>332518386
>to keep the numbers rising
Well, they ain't doing a good job with that.
>>332518386
Okay but just because you personally don't feel something is 'worth it' doesn't mean it isn't something to do.
What are WHMs supposed to put in their tomes gear? Piety, Acc, Spell speed?
>>332518423
But it's literally 1 button they have to use in order to even tank. This isn't even expecting cooldowns or some shit, just basic aggro holding.
>>332518339
really only the vocal minority are tired of the game, meanwhile tons of people are still enjoying it in-game and new players got lots of stuff to do and catch up on.
But that isn't new runescape.
>>332518146
You mean it gets fun at 50 but then it gets one useful utility ability and then just a bunch of pointless garbage?
>>332518610
Depends on how you want to play really.funny how they took the choice of builds off tanks and gave it to healers, really
Wanna add to DPS? go accuracy
Wanna heal more? Go crit.
>>332518610
Acc. Shitloads of acc.
how do I into crafting?
>TWO
>POINT
>FIVE
>SECONDS
>>332518610
Enough Accuracy to hit whatever the caster cap is, whatever little is left probably is too little to make a difference anyway so just put in whatever you feel helps you the most at that point.
>>332518748
You have the image right there.
>>332518610
Do not listen to this sperging idiot
>>332518715
Put it into accuracy. You will not hit shit with your dps spells without accuracy.
Once you upgrade the tome gear consider adding tier 5 accuracy so you can spend the rest of the slots in spell speed.
>he plays on console
/votekick
>>332518889
Anon, not every healer wants to DPS, that's just a way of life in this game.
If you're into actually attacking, by all means jam as much accuracy as you can manage, until caster cap.
>Dissipation
Why do I even keep this shit on my bars
I've maybe had 3 useful uses out of it ever.
Funny how your 60 ability which you would normally expect to be something extra cool is just you murdering your fairy.
>>332519038
Why would you even want to rely on crit for extra healing?
>>332518751
i'll bite, it's not even noticeable on melee classes because you can weave abilities in between the gcd and casters obviously have cast times to fill the gap
>>332519038
Yeah, the way of vote kicking you for dragging the group down by not doing your outmost.
>>332515954
I'm still having fun in EvE, but it's definitely not for everybody.
Which is the comfiest city?
I like Limsa the most
Question to MNKs:
Outside of PVP, does any of you use one ilm punch or haymaker? They seem pretty useless for parties, since either i'm not getting hit, therefore not proccing haymaker (and DRGs being able to slow on demand), and save for very particular mobs, there's no buffs to remove with one ilm punch.
>>332519126
If you're a SCH a large portion of your healing ability comes from crit, wether through shields or emergency tactics.
>>332519120
Dissipation is for when your co healer is either dead (by being fucking retarded) or fucking retarded and you need to spike heal right away.
>>332519258
Okay fair point but as a WHM what's the point?
>>332519253
>Outside of PVP, does any of you use one ilm punch or haymaker?
nope
>They seem pretty useless for parties,
yep
>>332519038
Any healer that doesn't heal during any of the new dungeons is a literal waste of space. The mobs hit so weak and tanks have so much migration that SCH can leave all their healing to their pet. Why wouldn't you just start to DPS, especially seeing that healer have it so much easier than all other DPS to AoE, not to mention you last longer than any TP based class.
>>332518715
>>332518719
>>332518760
>>332518889
Thanks guys. I guess I'll put grade V Acc into my gear. I actually like dpsing. I wanted to put in some Piety, personally. However, if Acc is better, then so be it.
>>332519253
Nope, they're useless abilities in raids since everything is immune to their effects. Only good for killing random trash mobs.
>>332519253
No. There were some fates where one ilm punch could be used to get rid of stoneskin but other than that you won't be using either of those on any kind of regular basis.
>>332516354
How the fuck can you enjoy the game if you only sub once every few months? Everything's time gated to where you can't accomplish shit all in a new patch in just one month.
>>332519120

>>332519184
Nigga I'm a SCH main and have all my shit melded accuracy.
I'm just saying if that first anon is some guy who picked up healer so he can heal and only heal (like almost every Wowfugee I've ever seen), then there are other options for healing rather than building for something they dug their feet into the ground against.
>>332519336
Well, Crit does have more stat weight to it than Det, but it' still a gamble. Just like DPS builds really.
>>332519120
It gives you 3 extra energy drains, its essentially a dps cooldown, you shouldn't use this for dps when on progression though, as it kills one of the tanks regens.
>>332519375
The only thing you won't be able to accomplish is getting all the new gear. All the dungeons, story, and feasibly the raids can be cleared well within a month.
>>332519120
Haven't used it other than if I wanted to DPS and needed the stack to toss in more Drain.
Giving up the free healing and buffs while having to pay both mana and quick cast cooldown to get my pet back isn't worth the 20%, especially since it only synergizes with Physics, Adlo and Succor.
>>332519120
It's not like SCH really needs more buttons they have to press.
I really wonder how they're going to handle skill bloat with the next expansion. A few jobs I could see being fine even with new skills, but SMN, SCH and MCH are going to become fucking unplayable.
>>332519208

>Ul'dah

Shit smell, maybe, but the town is literally a corridor and a circular hub. Not to mention that everything's easily accessible by aetherite.
>>332519543
I don't actually know how the gamepads work with the game but that's got to be a nightmare already with this amount of skills
>>332519543
Macro a hotbar switch when you enter Cleric stance, problem solved.
>>332519208
It's a shithole full of french giraffes but in terms of locale and music Gridania is undeniably the comfiest.
>>332519543
They already mentioned about upgrading skills so I expect some retarded naming convention like Cure II 2
>>332519615
I might be retarded but whenever I go to the place with the miner's guild I get lost
>>332519346
The accuracy necessary to actually hit things is like 600-something, and the new healer gear gives fuckall for accuracy.
So it is important for DPS-healing.
>>332519591
No shit. I'm giving an example for a healing only healer, because there are people out there with different mindsets than you for builds.
>>332519529
Imagine if the 20% also applied to damage.
Goddamn I would never stop murdering my fairy if that was the case.
>>332517835
>>332518003
Wildstar is so dead that they closed the PVP servers last month because they were ghost towns, now there's only two servers left.
>>332519627
Really easily, gamepads switch through hotbards effortlessly because when you hold the trigger button you can switch through 8 different hotbards assigned to each button, the rest is just memorizing where your skills are which is just muscle memory.
SCH and SMN is also not as hard as you might think once you're used to switching through hotbars the right way, meaning you can leave the pet hotbar on toggle.
>>332519208
Ishgard for looks and atmosphere.
Limsa for most efficiency.
>>332519735
>>332519735
>healing only healer
That doesn't exist in this game stop enforcing this shitty practice.
>>332519715
Try using the weaver's guild aetherite next time. It's the closest point to the miner's guild, and just a corridor away.
>>332519120
Free damage/Emergency healing in savage raids. Pop fairy buffs, sac her and do stuff.
>>332519038
That would be fine, but they are actively encouraging healer dps in novice camps as well as raids. So no, it is actually your job to dps as a healer, you're no better than a shitty tank or dps if you think casting a cure 2 every 10 seconds is what your job only is.
Considering the new dungeons, especially since they only require an average of like 450 heals per second. Considering a Divine Seal Cure 2 can easily hit for 10k+ on crit and like 5k+ usually, its disgustingly low. Not to mention the HPS needed is less with a good WAR. It's so easy to just switch on clerics and spam aoe.
>>332515954
This game is horrible and going nowhere, but it's still the best MMO on the market.

It's really shitty and shallow, but people are playing it so their friends do too.
>>332519895They actually do.
I was kicked from three different statics because "healers should only heal. Your DPS is shit anyway, why aren't you playing a summoner if you want to DPS?"
>>332519771
That would be the most beautiful thing they could do. And it would make for interesting gameplay as 'off-healer'. Trust your main healer enough? Axe the pet, go ham.

Wildstar is a legitimately bad game, though - one of the most ugly and unfun MMOs of all time.
Tera is good, but was released during WoWs peak. It's still pretty active, but the developers are shitters and can't into server stability, optimization, or QoL improvement so it never attained greatness. Still has the best MMO combat of all time.

Gamepad is very manageable once you learn macros, and use the l2+r2=another hotbar option.
Some good space saving macros include putting 2 ogcd skills that target different categories in one macro (only activates the skill with a valid target), or making a summon also replace any pet abilities, or swiftcast + resurrection (press once for SC, again targetting a dead unit for res)

How would you make healing harder?

Yep, one server for NA and another for EU. Both are PVE servers.
even with the game being free to play, nobody wants to play it.
>>332521854
Every healer has to ocassionally heal. The fairy is like a 200 pot regen so that just gives scholar the most time dps in a dungeon.
>>332522007
>1500
WHM can easily pull 1.9k if the rest of the group is decent and AST gets 1.5k as well. SCH should be inbetween there.
Force people to heal, get random damage and make them care about MP usage that goes above "How many holy can I squeeze in". First week Gordias 4 with randoms level of healing would be fun.
So how does Scholar fairy work? Does it heal automatically or do you have to command it to do stuff manually?
>>332522102
I swear on me my waifu that I literally don't have to switch out of Celeric Stance during the expert duties in my shitty 213 gear as SCH and as WHM I only have to toss out a Medica to get AoE stuff out. Regen + Asylum keeps tanks during bigger pulls up.

>>332522379
In general you want to have the pet on 'Obey' She will cast the healing spell by herself. All other skills should be used by you.
You can marco her heal into your Physics and Adlo, so she'll target the same target as you, giving your heal a bit more potency, but tanks take so little damage that it usually isn't worth it.
>>332517314
How can tanks even compete?

>>332522413
Then your tank must be making small pulls or your dps is finishing the fight before the tanks cooldowns are out.
>>332522379
It heals automatically even on obey but it will stop healing at like 80% hp. The ai is not that good and its generally recommended to leave the fairy on obey, that way you have an esuna cooldown and a silence cooldown on top of being able to use the haste buff when your dos can actually make use of it.

why does everyone only ever talk about ERP and nothing else?
do people really need to get off that badly?

It is but I've made a habit of keeping her in obey from now on because the esuna is actually a useful cooldown and silence can be used in the new raids.

Not really. DPS might be doing a good job, but buffed up Regena + Asylum and he can pull from thedoord to the double egg wall and I can burst away. Holy stun + a benediction if it gets too close and things should be dead. All other pulls in the dungeon are absolutely laughable.

Its just the balmug thing then?
Do I jump back on PF Sephirot's wild ride to collect totems for the barding?
After getting my now-obsolete weapon I'm starting to miss it.
>>332522949
Then how come I never see any posts of these obviously shit DPS getting yelled at?
>>332522950
Stop overhealing
Also how do you run out of mana as ast
>>332523098
The barding is crafted.

Nice blog I guess? Thanks for sharing, I'll leave an upvote!
>>332523101
I don't want to get reported for using a damage meter. A healer not dpsing is obvious.
>>332523102
I normally don't unless the tank is doing nothing but pulling massive waves and I get absolutely no breathing room/get no ewers
>>332515954
no, clunkiest MMO in existence, if you are graphicsbaby then its the right thing for you
>>332522978
The problem with her silence though is that the healer shouldn't be expected to do it if you need it anyways, and also the delay from hitting it and her using it is annoying.
I leave Selene on Sic anyways so I dont' have to pay attention to Fey Wind. On sic she'll instantly silence when she can which is okay. Her esuna's only real problem is she'll blow it on the first debuff that applies to anyone, even if it can't be cleansed anways. But again, it lets me be lazy if I'm not feeling like cleansing the tank's pacification.
People will argue all day whether or not Obey or Sic Selene is better but everyone at least agrees that Eos (if she's even used) should only be on Obey

I was kicked from the static I've been in for a month or so because I raid on WoW during tuesday nights, which isn't even a raid night the static officially raids on.

How? Your tank must use no cds, your equip must be shit or the dps must eat every AoE. Otherwise you don't run oom as AST if you keep luminous on cd.
For fucks sake, I spam gravity all day long and never went oom.
You mean the worst one.
Fuck off back to your containment board
>>332523091
Balmung is the unofficial (e)RP server.
>>332523396
>Your tank must use no cds
You must be forgetting how often this happens.
Getting no breathing room generally means the party is beyond shit, time to dps is considered breathing room ffs.
>>332523270
yeah, and every single "MMO" thread these ff faggots make always derails to talk which belongs to /vg/ as you can see
not much talk about mmos here, just ffxiv

You don't need a damage meter to tell shitters aren't pulling their weight or even using positionals/.cooldowns.

yes, but every single day i see one of these threads and i think:

then i actually see the thread and think:
"oh fuck, again ffxiv thread with a missleading title"
you could just make a god damn ff thread if you wanna talk about ff and not other mmos

Sort of wish there were more cross class skill options, but god forbid there be anything resembling a build in this game.

>>332523396
>you don't run oom as AST
AST has the worst MP management of the three healers.
>>332520663
I just did A8 with you, hilariously enough.And I live in Japan and I'm in a Japanese guild on Excalibur, but I haven't even bothered with the maid outfit thing.

>>332524456If you're DPSing you're shit at it if you're not running low on mana.
>>332523230
>>332523230
You literally can't run out of mp as ast anymore. They have a 25-29s refresh. When you do run out of mp using that fills it back up.
You get more mp than SCH with Luminiferous Aether alone.

>swift cast+raise him and then goad him afterwards
>>332524318
Not anymore.
Lumineferous aether was increased to a duration of 24s, with celestial opposition this is 29s. Ewer and spire potencies were also increased. They now have the best mp management out of the three healers. This and the Synastry thing is ALL they have but its something.

but 24? fuck that
>>332525468
Well, nobody is forcing you to buy it.
You know everyone thinks people who buy optional items are massive fags, right? You want that to happen to you?
Pros/cons of paladin and warrior? Thinking of starting a tank, not sure which to go with.
>>332524021
Nobody wants you, even after your dumb buffs. PLD has lost its niche. AS6 and A8S require WAR/DRK. Last I checked, there were 0 PLD clears and 0 BRD clears (though, to be fair, I haven't checked in like a week and a half)

Gridania is OK if you're in twin adders.
Crystal is reasonably close to the load zone that takes you to markets and theres a small aetheryte right next to markets.
Big aetheryte is right next to adders hq.
Limsa is definetely best though, Ul'fah is pretty shit tier overall.

PALADIN
+You get to be a boss ass Deus Vult motherfucker (if you like yellow)
+you have the best mitigation game available
+plenty of actually decent combat potential! especially with fight or flight now putting you at above normal damage output with shield oath up
- REALLY FUCKING BORING
- seriously you have like, one attacking cooldown
- and you have no AOE attacks outside of flash for fucking ever
WARRIOR
+fuckin berserker, aite
+big ass axe
+ tons of HP
+ can keep yourself going for ages
+ best tank deeps in the game
- you're gonna be stuck off tanking, so no major glory for you
- most the axe designs look like shit
- no DEUS VULT
- your best defense is parry, which is really really fucking bad
DARK KNIGHT
+Cool sword weapons, without the bore of paladin
+kind of a mix between paladin and warrior for skills, but more magically inclined
+ can sort of look Deus Vult
+ big fuckoff swords a plenty for all your inner guts needs
- doesn't really have a niche outside of PLD that does more damage
- still need to level something else to 50 anyway to use it
- you're gonna look like a fucking edgelord no matter what you do
+ the game goes out of its way to make fun of edgelord DRKs in the 50-60 quests
-Moogles are involved with these quests
+best 30-50 quest line in the entire fucking game

I only switched because we were hoping my roommate was gonna inherit a dying FC with a house and 19 mil Gil. They didn't, and I miss Exodus. Lamia is okay, though, not as bad as I heard and I'm a pretty decent FC.
