Who cautiously optimistic here?
>only a little more than a week away
Hopefully the Nidhoog/Estenien fight isn't underwhelming seeing how it's supposedly going to cap off the Dragonsong War before the eventual future patches will start prepping us for wherever we're going for 4.0.
>Doma (Samurai and hey if we're going to be traveling by boat, why not throw Viking there too)
>Ala Mihgo (Maybe Master Monk like FFTA2)
>Garlea (I wish just for Gunblades I just want glamour so I can look like a Judge from XII)
More of the same shite.
Pretty hyped for Final Steps of Faith though. Everything else is shaping up to be the usual braindead contents (Aquapolis, Palace of the Dead etc.)
I just want more quests where I get to kill random Miqo'te NPCs. Preferably Imperials, but whatever will do.
Is there something wrong with me?
>>339326458
Are you a lalafell?
Maybe some decent players will return and I don't have to deal with 240 dps monks in dutyfinder.
>been stuck on phase 4 of 5 in a8s for a month now
>I still fuck up the execution dps check once in a while as SMN in phase 1I can hear the frustration in my static's voices and before they even say anything I feel like killing myself for letting them down
It'll all be worth it, r-right guys?
>>339326536
I'm no potato.
>>339326692
Why do you keep raiding if 99% of the time all you feel is remorse?
>>339326692
If you're only fucking up once in a while, that means they must be fucking up the rest of the time. So suck it up, drill your rotation a few thousand times, and if they still can't make it move on.
Who only do the current EX Trials here?
Can't really be bothered with Savages.
>>339327048
Pretty much. EX trials can be done with a little bit of learning. Savage is a bit much for my liking.
But hey if you can do savage, congrats.
>>339326239
Ala Mhigo looks the most likely right now because of what 2.55 set up, and what Yda/Pap is up to.
That being said, it's not the way you think it is. Ala Mhigan citizens for the most part WANTED to become part of the Garlean empire. The Ala Mhigan king was mad with power and was slaughtering his own people. They wanted revolution, and Gaius brought it, decades before 1.0 even begins. Now they're a fully Garlean region, and probably way better off than they were before. That's what makes the majority of the Little Ala Mhigo citizens' actions very ironic.
Ala Mhigo concept art already exists from way back in 2.0. It's all but confirmed to be the 4.0 area.
>>339327048
Current batch of savage turns is pretty nice. Good mix of execution requirements and mechanics/positional awareness.
>>339326926
For that 1% as elusive as it may feel. Plus I don't want to let my friends down by quitting on them now.
>>339326983
I can't really practice it, granted, I have pretty much every GCD mapped out but it's really close to the wire in most cases if I get a megabeam+seed and have to move during my Ruin3 spam while in DWT - even more so if none of my R3s crit.
>>339327048
Post nerf a6s is on the same level as Sephirot. If a bunch of degenerates on Balmung's PF can clear it, so should you. Give it a shot, you may like it.
>>339327284
Doing Savage isn't really that hard.
The challenge of raiding is always, first and foremost, finding seven or nine or nineteen or twenty four or thirty nine other people you are compatible and can synchronize with. Especially when learning.
It'll by and large be the same-old same-old. But its usually comfy enough to keep me around.
>>339327579
a6s? You mean a5s right? no retard group is getting to vortexer.
>>339327720
But then I'd probably have to actually learn how to be a good monk. Only pulling about 1500 dps on a training dummy, now.
>>339327845
No, I meant a6s including Vortexer. Assuming everyone with 230 weapons, you should be more than fine.
>>339327720
>finding seven or nine or nineteen or twenty four or thirty nine other people you are compatible and can synchronize with.
And that's literally the hardest part. That's why I'm not bothering with it.
>sub ends in 14 days
>will be able to smash out the story and only the story and leave on a good note of the game without having to worry about any other nonsensical shit
Soon I will be free. My future looks so bright.
>>339326239
>Who cautiously optimistic here?
I want to be but I can't. I can't trust them to not fuck everything up. Palace will be figuratively dead in a month and literally dead once 3.4 hits
>>339328197
At least it's going to be only 4 people clusterfuck instead of god knows how many people clusterfuck like Dinosaurs killing in Diadumb.
>>339327720
>Doing Savage isn't really that hard.
Bullshit, many people spend over 24 hours trying to clear one of the fights
Savage is always time consuming when they first come out
People who say savage is easy have too much time on their hands and raided every day until they cleared.
Which is really hard for most people to do
>>339328026
>>will be able to smash out the story and only the story and leave on a good note of the game without having to worry about any other nonsensical shit
Nigga you won't even see 3.3 in 14 days
>>339328721
I don't think I've heard anyone say Savage is fun either or worth it. People I talk to in game either complain or feel relieved that it's cleared, quite different feeling compared to beating other super bosses in the series.
>>339328849
I thought it was coming out in like, just under 2 weeks?
I'm confused.
Are the dungeons revealed by the dragonskin maps designed for 4 people or 8 people?
Is it different from that random progression dungeon they talk about, or is it the same?
>>339329034
Up to 8, I believe. So you could probably do it with less if you're good just like the maps themselves.
The random progression dungeon is the Palace of the Dead they revealed.
>>339329034
The """""dungeon""""" will literally be a 1 minute walk down a hallway to a miniboss that you kill for worthless treasure that will have no worth on the MB after 2 days.
>>339329013
>>339329013
I'm just fucking with ya, it comes out June 7th
>>339328908
The only 'hard' content I've done is attunement in Wildstar, but it's certainly soured me to the whole hardcore scene.
Like you said it's not even fun just dying again and again until you get that perfect silver/gold run where no one dies and you complete the dungeon on time. It's just a 5 minute 'yay we did it' and then it dawns on you that it took 20 fucking tries.
>>339329193
So it's just wasted assets and no different from regular treasure hunts? Why do I get the feeling everyone just says yes to Yoshida's ideas without questioning it.
>love the game but stop playing for a while because I'm busy with work
>want to get back into it but so undergeared (i207) that I can't do anything even remotely quickly or up to my group's standards
>going to be even worse next patch
Just end me.
>>339329034
Doable with <4 if you're good. I assume a tank, DPS and healer will make it relatively smooth while giving you highest probability for loot drops.
The loot itself (at least from the live letter) looked horrible. Single quantities of favor mats.. I mean there could be a big ticket minion in there, but is it really worth it for fuck all?
>>339329451
Because they're good ideas they just don't work in a game with vertical progression
>>339329193
So... it's exactly like an instanced treasure map.
>>339329451
Because he's da FF14 saviour.
I'm hype for that nidhogg fight, for the music if nothing else. That bit that you could hear in the trailer was great. Just hope the fight is actually fun and I can find some not retarded people to beat it with. Sephirot """"""""clear"""""""" parties that couldn't beat the first phase was just awful
>>339328026
3.3 like 3.1 is just catch up shit you're not missing out. kinda envious really, still got 20 days left but I quit now before it ends that means my money is wasted.
>>339329451
>>339329556
Exactly. Now get back to getting your savage clears because apparently thats all that matters.
>>339329479
I've been able to solo some dragonskin maps on my WHM (well, with my chocobo) and I have a tank friend who is decent. I'm hoping we could do it ourselves... but, a DPS couldn't hurt I guess.
what's this """"""meme""""""
What's this about infinite solo dungeons? I unsubbed last year, thinking about resubbing for 2 months.
HOUSING OVERHAUL
The housing system has been redesigned to better fit our originally intended vision as follows:
Ward Abolition: Each housing area (such as Mist) will no longer be divided into separate wards or subdivisions. Instead, all housing plots will exist within a single space and occupy a unique position on the map. As such, the physical size of the housing neighborhoods is much larger!
Ward Defense: Using the new "Expansion of Duties Permit - Defender" item, players will be able to appoint retainers as guardians of their personal and free company estates. Likewise, all housing areas are now open PvP areas. Players in your party and/or free company are considered friendly. Others are considered enemy.
Plot Capture: Upon successfully conquering an enemy estate, the property's interior and exterior can be looted and the housing plot can be claimed as loot. Those involved in the successful attack will lot for the new "Conquered Housing Deed" item which allows the player to take ownership of the plot as a new personal or free company estate.
>>339328721
>People who say savage is easy have too much time on their hands and raided every day until they cleared.
I raided for 3 nights a week for 3 hours a night, after week 3 I was on a7s
if you consider 9 hours a week a lot then I don't know what to say
>>339329940
Kill yourself.
>>339329629
>tried clearing from day 1 and been at it for 2 weeks
>friends were clearing it when I'm either at work or in bed so couldn't with them
I don't want to make it sound like another generic /v/ "everyone's a shitter but me!" post but I really did know the entire fight like the back of my hand, most of the wipes came from people panicking because they had Earth Shaker icons over their heads. The worst part about fiend is doing phase 1 all over and again and waiting for the 30 second transition to phase 3.
>>339329940
LOL
Let my sub run out last month. Tried to keep my static on life support even though people were quitting for RL reasons. Kept trying to rebuild and new people sucked, causing others to quit the game. Couldn't get any savage cleared because, once again, 90% of people that play this game blow ass, and the other 10% already have solid groups like what my old group used to be.
I'd love to play again but it'll be frustrating trying to make a new static or join one that consistently clears stuff.
>>339330082
Do you really have fun doing the same fight for 3 hours? Good for you if you enjoy the content, I just don't understand doing savage, no fun at all to me
>new Wildfire animation coming 3.3

Only for you though.
>>339330082
So, people who have cleared savage have nothing to brag about because it's easy?
Good to know.
>>339330146
I know, the fight honestly wasn't that hard but people just couldn't do it. Thankfully my fc eventually got together to clear it, and then I could get into farm groups. Even those still had fuck ups but much higher chance of victory
>that FFIX battle theme remix in the new raid
Might be the only saving grace of this patch. Void Ark in 3.1 was so boring.
>>339329940
eh?
>>339330357
What? Really? Its client side only?
Fucking gay, but whatever that's a start I guess.
>>339330450
I really hates Void Ark's aesthetic.
Fucking ugly purple shit everywhere.
Thank fuck they're moving away from that.
>>339330450
>Void Ark in 3.1 was so boring.
All the 24 mans were because they decided that they have to be braindead easy
>>339330287
learning the fight with friends and having a good time is worth it
the reasons to do savage is difficult (for FFXIV at least) challenges, and loot. In 2.X you could also have added really good story to it, but square decided to give everyone a shit story.
>>339330419
I don't brag, nothing in FFXIV is hard, its just memorization. There is no skill check outside of paying attention, everyone is capable of clearing anything.
Varies from person to person but is A4S doable without team speak of voice programs? Anyone got experience doing it without?
>>339330082
do really think spending over 24 hours just to clear two fights is "easy"?
People who say savage is easy after they are done with progression are full of shit.
Yeah, of course its easy after you have it on farm dipshits.
Yes, 9 hours a week is a lot of time for people
>>339330619
>everyone is capable of clearing anything.
Even the bard who does 249 dps?
>>339330801
If everyone in your team is good at paying attention (protip: that never happens, even top team used VoIP to alert members), then yes.
>>339330864
Speaking of bard, when will we get instrument off hands?
>>339326239
>just came back from about 6 months of not playing

Might want to get an iLevel 220 weapon, at least. Depends on the secondaries, though.
>>339331205
Even if it's just PLD with Mudra?
>>339331246
I just upgraded my axe to 210 tonight, the 220 comes from sep extreme right? Those are usually a pretty big pain.
>>339331205
>wanting to play a class that will make you play just as bad as Paladins
>>339331498
Well, maybe it'll be easier in the upcoming patch to get the 230 weapon. Secondaries are kinda shit but should still be an upgrade from 210.
>>339326239
Ballad Nidhoggr will be the new thing, also shiny weapon glamz.
I'm optimistic.

What do you guys think Nidhogg!Estinien's ultimate attack will be called? The one we see by the end of the trailer that looks like the ultimate DRG Jump. Dragonsong dive would be my guess if it wasn't already the name of our DRG LB3.

Add 500 member FC's cause it's relevant to those two points. People who claim their tightknit or whatever really mean it's the same 5-6 people talking to each other.Don't ever join <<XV>> Tonberry bros, everyone shits on it for being the most stereotypical FC around

This is pretty accurate, and coming from a lala player the "lala only" part of the player base is straight cancer. Like literally worse than cat girl faggots.
>>339335305
>We're saving up for a house
Sometimes I wonder just how much money Ramah and his cronies scammed out of his Company before finally deciding they couldn't shift the goal posts any further and bought the house.
Though I haven't seen Ramah in ages. Guess he finally quit?
>>339335612
On Balmung there's a pretty heavy contingent of Roe-centric groups as well. It's just as cancerous.

They're pretty fucking aggressive too. I have myself marked down as a roleplayer in my search info and I've gotten 2 disgusting roe-dickgirl PMs on my catgirl, and my own female roegadyn has been approached by at least 6 of them looking to lock meatswords, or something.
>>339335305
>>Lalafell only
Took a while but I notice people who play races normally fall into stereotypes like in real life.
Miqote and Lalafell are both either extremely condescending and passive aggressive with how they play or talk in discussion or they're absolute shit and have no interest in actually playing the game have one job at 60 with minimum ilvl gear and just spam emotes all day while seeing the game as a paid chat room. Don't care how people play, but the latter part of the stereotype usually ruin dungeon runs for other people.
>>339336007
I don't have any crafts at 60 so my only source of money is the weekly materia V.
>>339336007
It was a scam on a fairly impressive epic scale. The FC with the largest population on Ultros got that way by inviting literally anyone they could, then begged them for any money they could spare to sponsor the house. This went on for months.
>Niggas think we're liberating Ala Mhigo or anything of the sort
We'll have to go West towards Sharlayan so we can unite the entire Eorzea Nation.
Going East towards Ala Mhigo and attempting to retake it would only stop all the kerfuffle within the Garlean Empire over reinvading Eorzea because they would see we're united somewhat as a nation and not seperate city states.
>>339336660
>Sharlayan
You mean the island that doesn't exist anymore? The one that everyone DIED ON?
>>339336412
Someone post that old FFXI/XIV stereotype list.
To be fair, FFXIV's players didn't match it PERFECTLY, but it was pretty close. And it matched my experience of FFXI players fucking spot on.
>>339336809
There's still remnants and individuals left as evident in the AST questline.
They're like the Brotherhood of Steel in that they lost against the NCR so now they just jerk off in bunkers and attempt to kill former members spreading their secrets
>>339335851
I've heard of these players I see the fem roe futa shit on /xivg/ and I pretty much assumed thats what they were like.
>>339326239
I already don't care because this shit should have been released at the beginning of May.
ALSO they're literally withholding content. There's no new Warring Triad in 3.3. This means that Heavensward will continue until at least 3.5, or 3.6 if they decide to only release Warring Triad trials on progression patches
>>339336412
I played femroe, what's your analysis doc?
So why haven't you killed a8s yet?
When do you guys think the next expansion will be announced? E3? Or maybe sometime around November?
>>339336809
That was the isle of Val, which is near Sharlayan and is associated with them.
Sharlayan itself is perfectly fine since they're willing to send gay ass assassins in white AST gear to try and kill you
>>339336660
I just want to save Ala Mhigo so the niggers in this game shut up about it.
>>339336809
Sharlayan isn't gone. Only the Isle of Val was sucked into the Void. Pay attention to the story if you plan on being a condescending faggot.
>>339336412
I must be a rare exception not only am I a lala but a lala dragoon and I don't fit into any of that.

>Healer gear is white caster gear again
T-THANKS YOSHI
>>339337031
There's people that were on the island when it was destroyed and people who weren't. Why would we go west into literally nothing when there's a tangible city to the east? The island is gone.

Thats kinda where I'm at.
>Be whm @ilv205

And you want me to suffer through all that with PuGs only to not be able to find a raid group just like when I was playing a year ago? Yeah no fuck that. I'll take my welfare gear and 4 mans and just craft in my spare time like I have been doing. Might get around to doing my relic before the next expansion happens.

Whoops, meant for >>339337196
>>339336412
Miqo'te players: Generally trannies irl who crave for attention/really autistic guys. They say Meow unironically trying to be cute but it comes off as autistic
Elezen players: Edgelords who RP as Ishgardian nobility/quiet people
Male Roe players: Generally older players in their late 30s early 40s, only have 1 class at 60 and are casual as fuck. On the off chance they're hardcore players they're damn good ones
Male Miqo'te: Fags and fujoshits/16 year olds. Really garbage at the game because they spend their time trying to ERP or only use this game as a fucking social chat box, also meow unironically. The last part is the fujoshits.
Fem Roe: Attention whoring fags on par with Lalafell players. "I'm the tallest one in the group :p" - retarded Fem roe player who wants attention
Lalafell players (both male and female): The specialist of special snowflakes. They're usually the most annoying fags in the entire game due to them picking the "meme race" they spend their time being autistic as shit and using this game as a chatbox. Shit players, and attentionwhores.
>>339329872
Honestly that deep dungeon shit is the only reason I'm sticking around. 4 mans are probably my favorite content in this game. I really hope its going to be like a more challenging version of 4 man dungeons with some halfway decent rewards.
It wont be though, it will probably be shit. The fact that you can go into it alone really has me worried it'll just be casual shit, but I'm holding out hope that maybe the upper floors will be casual bullshit, and maybe the lower floors will offer some challenging gameplay.
>>339337670
>Sharlayan is an entire fucking country that isn't going anywhere
But they already went somewhere. Away. From Eorzea. And from all accounts they seem to be kind of jerks.

Please. Send help.

To be fair though, fight does look a little different compared to 6 fight, which is to be expected.
>>339338251
You know the level of pandering in MMOs, and WoW in general, is off the fucking charts when someone can move to FFXIV and complain about how hard ANYthing is.
Then again, WoW has guild mandatory raid mods that do everything but play the game for you. And probably some that do by now.
Whatever. I'll resub before 4.0 and crash-course the story, clear the other content, and then blitz the 4.0 release. And then, barring 4.0's endgame content being absolutely fucking amazing, unsub again and wait another year.

Wat. How do you lose aggro when you spam overpower? Also tanking in this game is just as brandead as WoW you just spam your AoE move until everything is dead. Yeah there is a lot of stuff you can do to be better but this is literally all you have to do to make most shitters think you're amazing.

>How do you lose aggro when you spam overpower?
Depending on the dungeon and level, you can lose agro quite easily.
My first run of Neverreap I lost agro quite a bit but I with people who had way better gear.
>>339337797
what about Au Ra
>>339337969
Y'shtora Holy? Haven't dealt with him at all but I've seen him mentioned in these threads a few times as someone to avoid if you're on Tonberry.
Almost forgot,
Fem Hyur: Causes more drama than a 16 year old prom queen. Generally shit players who hide under the guise of "I play my way" They also try to plug their tumblr as well as their sexual orientation and political beliefs in FC chat despite no one giving a fucking shit.
Male Hyurs: Autism on par with Lalafell and Fem roe players. These people start up retarded party finders trying to be as RANDUM XD as they possibly can. Also majority of them are 16 year olds who use emojis at the end of every fucking sentence.
Fem Aura: Cancer incarnate, if you think Trannyqo'tes and Fem Hyur are bad the fucking people who play these skin cancer patients are a double dose of cancer. They're generally really leftist idiots who pug their political beliefs into every outlet, as well as bitch about everything in the game that doesn't cater to them. Shitty players who will "report you if you parse"
Male Aura players: The edgiest of edgelords as well as the most fucking weaboo person you will ever meet. They will either begin or end their sentences with emojis or speak...like..sasuke..uchiha..heh.. People who play this are fucking manchildren who unironically wear fedoras. Also, they love MLP.
>>339338223
you and me are in the minority
This game is so beautiful!!!!!! Who agrees with me?
>>339338251
Christ thats bad. I MTed as a warrior in vanilla and BC and I would have killed to have what warriors in FFXIV have. They give you so many tools to do your job. I've played warrior the most of tanks, its slightly more difficult than current WoW tanking but still easy.

It's a good thing WHM is the ez mode healer/DPS.
so is there an EX trial in this patch?
>>339338596
Au Ra are pretty much all of the above.
>>339338840
Fem Hyur can actually be split since midlanders and highlanders are the only 'clans' that have actual differences
Midlanders are normalfags while highlanders are pseudo femroes
>>339338835
>Y'shtora Holy
yes
>>339338978
Niddhogg and probably Nidhogg Extreme for gear and this new Lanner.

Never played WoW but how do you do it in that game? Does it have its own shield lob and flash?

Finally someone who doesn't see Ala Mhigger propaganda.
The little shits are probably better off under Garlean rule than some fucking freedom fighters/wol coming in and "liberating everyone".

You can not easily dps during larger pulls without eye for an eye
>>339335305
The last FC I was in the leader was a grrrl gamer who had a creepy bf who I was convinced was mute and seemed like a real fuccboi whenever he did talk in the 3 sentences a day he spoke (they lived together iirc) and everyone praised her.
The real kicker was she was a stereotypical miqote "playing for fun" and she didn't even know there were other Final Fantasy games when we were talking about IX around the time of its re-release. I'm not in the FC anymore for other reasons but friend I made there says it's going to shit.
Vagina's ruin communities.
>>339339621
how are you that bad
I play WAR and never played any other MMOs before this and had no problems holding agro other than the early dungeons where you dont even have your 3 hit combo
>>339337064
>there's no New Warring Triad
>literally on the 3.3 Patch page you see mention of Warring Triad with quest involving over favorite try-hard not-Gaius clone
Granted a direct confirmation would be nicer I agree, not to mention this patch already has all the new dungeons, plus FSoF EX, plus City of Mhach 24 man, I can kind of understand if they want to hold off on doing the Goddess trial until 3.4.
>Make new friend

I legit don't understand why he's subbed to the game, you would think that if he hates it so much he would quit.
If we are in the 7th astral era, don't we have nothing to fear from Zodiark if he needs 12 rejoinings to complete?
>>339340285
Why do these people even pick up a Final Fantasy game and hate Final Fantasy things? What rock do you have to be living under?
>>339340045
Speaking of parsing.
>>339340113
I'm sure you can switch it off with the emote.
>>339340003
having content in a patch is not an excuse to withhold other content.
3.4 will also have 2 new dungeons, some (or one) EX trial, and the final Alexander segment so whatever
Zurvan should have been in 3.3 and Sophia in 3.4 and then we fucking get the fuck out of Ishgard and get on with 4.0 already
>>339339904

>>339340113
>>mask that covers up eye
Well obviously the caster gear was made only with BLM in mind due to its overall design and the whole eye covering thing to emulate the "Black mage black face"
I miss Gaius.
>>339339592
It's more the fact that you know talking about parsers is against the rules, so any smart person would only talk about them in private with a group that is okay with parsing.
Like, you could easily word it so it isn't immediately obvious you're using a parser, such as "hey MCH, the WAR is out-damaging you, get wildfire up" or something like that.
But nah it's always "my parser says XYZ" like a fucking idiot.
>>339339904

I'm glad I picked Diabolos it's a pretty small server but it has a few FCs that are small and tight knit. The FC I'm in even has a linkshell with a couple other of these types of FCs so we can chat with a larger crowd if we want to.
Always stay away from 100+ member FCs they're universally trash
>>339340258
2.X patches had 3 dungeons too
>>339340434
>having content in a patch is not an excuse to withhold other content.
True, but not being able to finish all content thanks to SE not giving money and taking away devs for VX is. I'm sure we'd have more for each patch, but the team is too small too focus on more. They're not even releasing that Deep Down Dunggeon until 3.35.
>>339340450
She said her boyfriend gave her the game and she didn't notice the XIV. I'm wondering how you can be a "gamer" and not even know about Final Fantasy. The worst part is people in the chat who white knight her say it's easy to make the mistake. I don't fucking know how people can find out about this game and know nothing about the series. What bizarre world do they come from?
>>339340417
I don't really mind if someone's pulling at least 80% of what they should be doing.
People going into void ark and doing AFK damage is a bit much, though. I know it "doesn't matter" but when everyone is doing it then you actually start failing easy DPS checks.
>>339336412
>>339336865
>>339337797
Where are you people seeing this shit? I play catgirl, I see lots of catgirls, everyone is friendly and no one RPs. The most you get is "hello" at the beginning and "gg/thanks" at the end. Is it high end content? Raids? Does it depend on server? I'm on Cactuar, and the highest level content I've done is 3.2 dungeons.
>>339340672
it's more Yoshi-P wasting time by going on 3 month vacations and renting out castles for no fucking reason
>>339340595
You say that like we're having 3 dungeons as patch in 3.0. We don't. It's two dungeons + another instance that isn't really a dungeon.
>>339340531
>women in guilds
Should've seen it coming, onii-senpai, The stereotype doesn't exist for nothing.Though, I played with /xivg/ on Balmung, was pretty well liked, and trust me, some (literal) faggots are worse than the actual girls playing even if they just ERP'd
>>339340531
I think parsing is considered okay as long as you don't harass the player for it.
>>339340672
No, XIV:ARR is the game that stole XV devs and devs from all over Squeenix, it has never been the other way around. The game still has plenty of resources and devs.
Yoshida is the fucking corporate executive in charge of the entire MMO division, getting money is extremely easy for him, the hack just wastes it all on vacations and tours every week.
>>339340717
Tonberry for me, it's only really common in big LS's (The fake ones that advertise they run old content but really don't) I assume it's worse on actual RP servers though.
>>339340774
I didn't say that at all.
What the guy before me was saying and I was adding to, was that 2.X patches had more content.
2.X had 2 EX fights and 3 new dungeons.
3.X has 1 EX fight and 2 new dungeons.
3.X also makes Savage raids required progression content instead of just making the normal raids midcore content that requires people to be mildly coordinated.
Instead you have a piss easy version and then an overtuned static onry version
>>339335851
Male or female
>>339340717
These people are probably all Balmung degenerates. I don't see any of this shit going on on Diabolos either
>>339340706
>I don't really mind if someone's pulling at least 80% of what they should be doing.
What has that to do with my comment?
>>339340731
>it's more Yoshi-P wasting time by going on 3 month vacations
The devs needed that. They were rushing HS for release and already delayed it once. It comes all down to SE again. They could have put more devs into the team to help them out, or after release to work on a few things while the core team is away.
>>339340805
That's the thing though.
We didn't know she was a girl until after she picked up her boyfriend.It certainly didn't help matters that half the guild thought I was a girl because I just didn't correct them due to my own coda of just calling people based on their character until proven otherwise.
>>339340717
Well, I was talking mostly about FFXI, a game where people actually socialized while in groups.
It'll still apply to FC and linkshell chat in FFXIV though. And the sterotypes I was talking about predated 3.0 and Au'ra being added to the mix.
>>339341012
We already had this conversation.
>>339340717
Balmung here
Everything he said is 100% the case for my server. I hate it so much, it wasn't like this back in 1.0 wtf happened to it.
>>339341040
The dev team are just as fault for the state of the game.
>>339340774
The excuse for taking out the extra dungeon was adding more "original" content, except that content ended up being shit so far or not even coming out until 2 months after the patch it's stated for.
>>339341040
>What has that to do with my comment?
More responding to the image where someone was pointing out they were doing more damage.
Unless that was a healer out parsing an actual DPS class.
>>339341046
>I just didn't correct them due to my own coda of just calling people based on their character until proven otherwise.
That's what I do, don't really give a shit what gender anyone is. I don't play this game to get to know people personally. It's just another FF title to me desu.
IF they don't fucking save Estenien or he sacrifices himself or something I will lose my shit.I'm still fucking salty over lady ice heart.
>>339341012
Both.
Male roes are hardgay fags (Hell there's one shouting in Idylshire right now. He does this 24/7. That's all he fucking does) Femroes are dickgirl cancer.
>>339341091
>Balmung
Well there's your problem. You chose to play on the literal tumblrina/faggot containment server. It has the most cancerous population in the entire game. Maybe the most cancerous of any MMO period.
Well, I'm sure there are a few WoW servers that are worse. Maybe.
>>339341132
What are these risks Yoshida said he can now take with Heavensward? Pissing off your subscribers and throwing darts at the board for ideas without thinking it over.
>>339341265
Dude, Estenien's gone.
>>339340703
White knights bring me great amusement.
>>339341265
Yoshi said he'd like Estninien to be saved but I hope he fucking dies
he's too retarded to live.
>>339341265
I'd fem that roe.
>>339341265
Given that the theme of Heavensward is that heroes have to make sacrifices, Estinien is probably gone. Aymeric is gonna have to mercy kill his best friend.
>>339341282
I played on it back in 1.0 before it became the official """"""""rp"""""""" server. Back during legacy it was really small and tight knit, after 2.0 hit it suddenly became the abomination that it is now. Hell, all the legacy FCs already jumped ship to other servers. I haven't yet due to financial reasons
>>339338251
this is the first mmo i've tanked in and you fc m8 is a faggot
>>339341160
After my first and second raid groups I decided I needed to cut out all my LSes, started my own for my close friends, found an FC with a house and stables, and just chillaxed.
Granted, I haven't played in two months now, but still.I'm eagerly awaiting RDM to hit so I can get a fancy fencer outfit.
>>339341160
My personal code- never talk about yourself.
Of course, if you use voice chat then obviously they're going to know what gender you are, at least, and can probably infer a bit more.
But beyond that, never tell anyone anything about yourself. Never communicate outside of the game or game forums. Nothing good ever comes of it.
>>339341282

What an adventure.
>>339341273
I wonder about people who just sit in one place all day like do these even play the game? I have never seen my FC leader leave the FC house.
>>339341265
Lady Ice heart isn't fucking dead and you know it.
You dont see her corpse smashing into the ground or nothing, she just starts to fall with a swarm of dragons around here, I know squares ass pulls, shes alive.
Menfila is prolly alive too, and you will travel the globe collecting the shards of her to return her to order in the life stream or some horse shit.
Because you cant very well do the same thing again, lose all your crystal shit and have to restore it.
>>339341438
Aymeric is probably going to die too
Probably just so they can give you his sword for glamour later
>>339341265

It's just a chatroom for them. That's all it is. They should get Skype and do it for free but paying for it is better somehow.

>>339341265
I'm more concerned about everyone else. Aymeric, Lucia, Artoirel, and Edmont all have a good chance of getting killed off. Emmanellain is probably safe, he's a kid who has yet to fully develop and learn from his mistakes, they usually survive, especially if his father or brother sacrifice themselves for him.
>>339326239
As cool as the Nidhogg fight looks I'm more anticipating the teaser for whatever comes next. After this patch the story is going to have to start steering in the direction of the next expansion with pretty much everything Ishgard related taken care of unless the warriors of darkness are considered Ishgard related.
Palace of the Dead mite b cool.

>>339341340
Pretty much. We exchanged an extra dungeon for Diadem and LoV which were shit, and Palace of the Dead that's not even launching with 3.3, and just being in a catch up patch means it'll be relevant exactly for one month and a half before 3.4 invalidates all previous gear and content. That's all the experimental content so far, the rest has been the same exact shit.
We also exchanged an extra trial for fuckall.

Opinion on Ethys Asher?
>>339339047
I've yet to come across any cancerous highlanders.
Then again, I don't play the game anymore, so I wouldn't know if anything had changed since 3.1.Actually, the only reason I chose highlander was because I didn't like any of the midlander faces.
>>339341991
you can easily tell if dps is garbage on the full trash pull. Not to mention if the boss repeats his phases more than 2 times
>>339341994
It's common for males to orbit around a girl in a relationship hoping they split up and, in theory, consider him a good option.
It works pretty good, to be honest.
>>339341265
This game needs character to stay dead don't turn this to wow.
Bring back a not fake Gaius even though I like Regula.
>>339341994
Its because of the girls.
Seriously, this happens a lot, and girls try to do this shit to me.
>Girl has boyfriend.
>Talks to other boys.
>All she talks about is "oh my boyfriend is such shit, I wish I could be with somebody like you" garbage.
This gives the assholes false hope like a motherfucker.
You know how you stop that shit?
>Then why dont you break up with him.
She will always say something stupid along the lines
>Oh I cant, I love him
stop talking to them.
