You can play the early part of the game which is offline. But after that, you are IP blocked. Hopefully with the game going to China soon, there won't be an IP block. Might even be an English translation as some Chinese games get them.

>until level 30ish

That's when the story gets the most annoying. Since you keep having to do one stupid quest halfway around the world, then run back to the hideout. And then after doing all these quests, the hideout gets attacked. MILFinna is just fucking useless and I'm glad she died. Then they revived her and made her even MORE cliche.

Probably the best large budget MMO on the market right now.

It's not your typical WoW clone. It's got Skyrims gameplay but improved. It gets rid of the trinity and allows actual character customization. End game isn't a gear treadmill and based on your build there is a whole bunch of viable sets. Dungeons actually have good designs and various mechanics, hell they're not even all instance based.

It started out really shit, but has gotten significantly better recently. It still suffers from a lot of MMO syle quests, but that is the only really bad thing about it.

They've had at least 2 major patches this year.

>ESO released 3 expansions, with huge amounts of content
What you're calling expansions are really just major patches. For those who don't know, you can either buy content updates or you get them for free for subscribing. ESO "DLC" is usually another zone very similar to the 20 or so that launched with the game and maybe one dungeon.

>themepark
They're both themeparks.
>>
>>344422482
Almost everything.
>>
>>344422407
Only FFXIV gets updated consistently.

For the record, WoW hasn't received a new content patch since last year. They are finally getting their pre expansion patch after 12 months of nothing but Hellfire Citadel.

How do I play WHM without shitting myself? I have it at 40 and I cannot for the life of me heal, position, pay attention to status effects, and DPS without sweating bullets unless it's a normal pull. It might have just been because of Cutter's Cry and its sandsplosions all over the place but I fucked up royally last time, especially at the final boss. Haven't healed in two months because of that.

>>344422843
You drop a Regen, start dpsing and briefly pop out of cleric stance whenever someone needs a heal. All you have to do is stay aware of what your party is doing and know when big damage spikes are coming. WHM is entirely about situational awareness.

Have Regen up on the tank always during fights (don't apply it before a pull through or you'll rip aggro). Cure when the tank is around 75%. Use Cure II only in emergencies. Presence of Mind and Divine Seal are your oh-shit buttons.
Honestly if you keep Regen up you should have a ton of time to DPS in cleric stance.

Major content patches are tri-monthly. They drop regular patches in between major patches.

Regen pretty much turns your Cure into Cure II while saving shitton on mana.

>>344422843
Drop dps aside from shitty DOTs until you're more comfortable with the content. Cutter's Cry is also a dungeon where shitter dps will take a lot of avoidable damage.
>>
>>344421597

There is only one time in the entire game you actually need a dedicated tank and healer. Outside of this any party composition can do any content.

For most fights this is completely unnecessary. You can easily wait until the tank is at sub 50%, even 30% if you can tell they aren't shit. With Asylum and Tetragrammaton and a competent group, you can get through most pulls with 2-3 GCDs used on healing and just dps the rest of the time.
>>344423679
Never spam Cure 2. Either use it in emergencies, when you get a Freecure proc or if you know you can regen your mp between packs and just want to get the tank healed quickly so you can dps more. Divine Seal, Regen and Cure are your best friends at low levels. At higher levels, Asylum and Tetragrammaton make your healing even more MP efficient.

I played wow from 2004 to 2014 religiously, primarily for the lore, exploration, and Pvp. Recently I tried Guild Wars 1, then ultimately 2, and fell in love with the world. The writing is a little crappier in 2, but the world more than makes up for it. The PvP is alright - I mostly do Wvw which is a persistent world Pvp - but the leveling is the best there is. 1-80 is free right now. If you need to scratch the itch, this might do it.

That being said, I know a lot of people who can't get into it, so it's very subjective.

Healing is all about multi-tasking yourself.
You pop a regen on the tank, DPS for a bit, watch out for your tank HP, if it get drain too quickly switch back to heal, or just watch for when Regen is off to put it again.
When you know that status effects needs to be cleansed just watchout for their HP bars on the group, the statue effect will always appear first on the line of buff/debuff.
DPS as much as you can while healing too, everyone in the party will be thankful to you!

XIV's content update may be every 3 months and polished but it has no longevity whatsoever, and any content from that patch dies when the next one arrives.

>>
>>344428216
It'll never surpass FFXI for being a good MMO. FFXIV is simply a cash grab MMO that's full of fan service (literally looks like a spin-off game instead of a main FF game for having so much fan service and being so unoriginal) and attracts the shitter community in MMOs who can't pull their weight.
This game is declining subs fast anyway. It already lost half its subscriptions since ARR.

Realistically the same was true for FFXI. The only difference was that 90% of the player base never got better than junky AH gear. With only a few exceptions gear was rendered obsolete with the next raids / HNMs released. That said XI had way more interesting gear to pursue. But people thinking Sky / Kings gear was anything but junk in ToAU is lol. But that's how it was.

That's what shitters wants to believe.

When a single player could achieve what a full party could not, then there's challenge. XI was actually one of the rare MMO where the gap between an average player and top players was insanely huge, even if both had a similar playtime and even with similar gear.

We're far from today's MMO where having 10% more DPS than your peers because you maximized the potential of your 1-2-3-2-3-1 rotation would be enough to be called a "good player".
>>
>>344430760

get to level 15. talk to one of the 'The Smith' npcs. you can find them at the bars in each city, outside most dungeons and outside Aleport. That will unlock Training Scenarios, which you do easy shit for about 20 minutes. Finish all of them and you get a the ring

I hope they don't. It's the tank role for people who don't want to learn how to tank. It's easy and needs only a few skills to tank well. It should never perform at the same level as the other tanks which are much more complex to handle.

I don't like how every single bit of the expansion was behind the base game content. Not even a few extras here and there before it. Then again, I don't like how every bit of content is gated behind the main story quest anyway.
At the very least I'd like certain things unlocked account-wide when I clear them on one character, like dungeons.
>>
>>344434064
The story is garbage all through ARR. HW got better story wise but only marginally. I still skip cutscenes either way.
Paying attention to a story I'm not interested in is a waste of time, and I've never had an issue with not knowing where to go because that's what the fucking journal is for.
