How are those flimsy straps even going to hold his arms in place? You either make them tight enough to do that and cut circulation to the point of an actual hazard or you don't and they don't do fucking shit.

A hand cuff like design would be infinitely more effective.

real talk, xiv is great. /v/ bashes it because of the autismos on /vg/ that avatarfag with their generic heterochromia cats and whatnot, but it's probably the most polished and cohesive MMO on the market at this time. combat while leveling is painful but your full rotation at 60, if you aren't a lazy shit, will always be engaging and fun.

OP here. I bought FFXIV and i've put 50 hours into it and reached the story till the part where you can have a mount. The game is just not for me, i don't like the combat, i don't give a fuck about the story, i hate how tons of things are locked behind the main story, i don't like the lack of organization with your bank NPCs and the dye system, the TP/market browsing system is a fucking mess.

I just want to sit back when I get home of an evening and grind with little pressure. I wouldn't mind some world pvp but nothing like Darkfall or Mortal or whatever.

I was thinking of installing ESO again but it's a pretty bad game, just convenient and the big pvp battleground was somewhat amusing.

FFXIV is just an even slower WoW with a shit ton of ERPers.
Also
>combat while leveling is painful
It's trash then. If an MMO requires you to hit max level before you can begin to enjoy it, it's shit.
The first point could be forgiven if they were good, but I met a total of one good ERPer during my whole time playing.

My only time trying RP (not really ERP although there was inevitably an overlap) was in LOTRO and it was just full of sperglords who got angry that they couldn't use me as a doll for whatever dumb power fantasy they were playing out.

I used to just sit in the prancing pony on my alcoholic dwarf who thought hw was a hobbit laughing at people's character descriptions in the end.

Honestly I do not know myself, but probably works similar to indie games - little hardware requirements, aimed at small, niche playerbase which could happily throw a coin at something they like.

Probably Sherwood Dungeon started small if I'm not mistaken.

I remember playing that on my shitty laptop. There was some technique to animation cancel that meant you could destroy everyone in pvp. It was hilarious. I joined a guild or something and they all treated me like a champion.

>>336240075
I'm playing my first month of it now and honestly the only good thing about it is the dubgeons, everything else is a convoluted mess. The story is 10 times longer than it could and should be and is mostly filler where you run from point A to point B to point A again then point C point A for the entire story. And the story is mandatory to do ANY content, and you cant even touch the expansion before completing the ARR story including patch story steps. I'm 150 hours in and I finally made it to Heavensward. I actually wanted an MOO where I can PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE and not being forced to do a 100 hour+ singleplayer story line.

I sure as fuck wont be resubbing when my free month ends.

And the worst of all, I miss traveling alongside with more veteran players in the fear that a bear would fucking deck me in the middle of nowhere meaning I'd have to either wait for half a week for the chance that the moongate would be leading to where I wanted to go or needing to go a longer shittier route.

The servers were Jewish ass.

All the obnoxious p2w does make loadsamoney from whales, but it eventually drives away the others. With nothing but whales, the whales have no one to show off their +15 leopards dp scythe of 450983 to, so they quit.

Normal players didn't even get the fun of enchantments, since that shit could break your weapon.

The Jewish guild change sucked. It ruined wow, so of course an even Jewier version hurt vindictus.

They kept developing new characters when they should have been developing more gameplay. My guess as to why they developed a gorrilion new characters is that new characters mean the whales have to spend money on cosmetics again.

To the massive breakdown of, lets just say half a year ago, they made the game almost unplayable due to "lmao login to website to play the game", which mostly doesnt start the game at all, or kicks you for failed authentication.
And guess what, at that point some player decides to tinker around to uh, directly start the game via some start command.

It was too late. Even /vg/ decides to fuck it and never creates another Vindictus thread again, it was a massive shitshow from Nexon.

Rebirthing was always free at least on my server, it just had a longer wait period if you didn't cough up dosh.

They unfortunately butchered the game by dumbing down the combat to the point where everyone can solo (goodbye social aspects), travel became available 24/7 to all locations you visited instead of certain random places at night (see you later social aspects and campfires), the game got easier and started being focused more around a shitty storyline and content that was meant to be done solo, even roleplay dungeons (bury the social aspects) and flat out anything that required or needed social interactions with other players got ran over and made easier for singleplayer methods.
It went from an amazing 10/10 jolly adventure anime MMO with so much shit to do with friends and people you met (after getting fed with breaking my wep, I fished, made clothes and talked to people for a fucking WEEK before returing to dungeons) to a singleplayer campaign

Even japs who fucking hate foreigners never invests as much as Nexon does to foreigner.
Japs just do simple block, then quietly tell "just use VPN and we are fine."

Nexon really jumps into some kind of retardation, even the direct launch method is some-fucking-how fixed and you are forced to use their launcher.
And yeah, it's supposed to be like this, just fucking use DRM to make it simpler, and guess what.

It's a good MMO, on par with GW2 and other popular MMOs of the moment, with some TES gimmicks and good war system. Probably one of the best crafting systems too. If you're into RP this is definitely the game to go.

Popular MMOs are shit though.
>>
I haven't enjoyed an MMO since SWG.
>>
>>336252139
You might think it's good if you're someone who enjoys quietly questing alone with an occasional dungeon, but I found the quests to be the dullest thing imaginable. None of the storylines were remotely interesting, and all quest objectives boiled down to the worst MMO cliches. Gameplay could've saved it, but it only stops being monotonous in dungeons. Good worldbuilding could've saved it, but it always follows the same linear formula of "arrive in new area - immediately see a quest - follow markers to the end - area is now done - find new area" with almost no deviation. Even though you can do these areas in any order it's just a different kind of complete linearity.

Also, I thought the art style was shit, especially architecture and armor design.

In short, it's a mediocre snoozefest with an enormous amount of repetitive boring quest content. I did like the dungeons, though, including some public ones. Do note that I've only done one alliance(the ebonheart pact), so maybe all this is suddenly better in the rest.

Also
>cosmic league was dead on arrival
I haven't checked up on it in a while since it's a pretty shallow game but I found a lot more enjoyment from it than I did with fucking FFXIV. My question isn't why MMOs never stray off the formula but why do people only eat up that formula and toss away everything else.

Being a part of SA guilds and shit back in 2008 was the highlight of my gaming life, now nothing can compare to that. I loved when people had motivation to do guild activities instead of bitch and moan about how theres no point to it as if they don't understand the concept of fun and then just sit around being brooding negative raidlogging assholes that use the chat to talk about their fetishes and nostalgia while posting the most easily spammable memes inbetween. No one seems to have their own personality anymore either, everyone talks basically the same as if they're afraid to be singled out and ostracized so they try to blend in and all be the same idiot. Then the guild falls apart after the first week when the first bout of drama causes a schism because people are sensitive little bitches who can't take it despite acting hard.

I hate social groups in MMOs for that exact reason, they're all filled with fucking dramatic losers.

Without fail, I will inevitably come across some uptight twat who punctuates everything despite being at best a B-B+ level English student who has a back problem and is on disability or whose computer broke in his or her trailer park and she was too poor to fix it.

MMOs players who lament the death of the social aspect of the game have nobody to blame but their own kind.
