grind fates for low drop crystals, 3 in each zone
do 10 dungeons (easiest step)
get 80 expensive unidentified items plus 20 HQ items

then some other shit where you have to power it up 240 times, not sure on this one

it's no life shit
>>

1st step: grind FATEs
2nd step: run some dungeons

Honestly you are both right...

MMO's are dead.... anyone can say "OH THIS ONE IS THE NEXT BIG THING!" but most people who loved WoW or even MMO's before that are, sad to say, older now... and I just dont think MMO's hold the same "glow" that they used to.

Most the people I run into in MMO's who have the love and amazement in MMOs I did are fucking kids....but thats the thing... when WE loved mmos WE were kids...

Maybe we are all just jaded fucking MMO players now I dont know but I have come to realize no MMO period will pull me back in :/

And thats sad to me.

The last decent MMO is DQX and that will never be localized.
>>
>>342189631

you collect some crystals for fates

then you do like 9 or 10 2.0 hard mode dungeons, then 4 3.0 dungeons in sequence

then you collect 20 of these 4 different types of items each, you can spend tomes or do beast tribes or do alexander to collect them, this is by far the worst part, it takes abouth a month of grind or more depending on how poopsock you are with it

then you turn those items in alongside 12 HQ crafted items which will set you back about 1.2 mil if you don't make them yourself

after that you turn in 5 aether oils, it's a really quick and easy step which makes the weapon glow and shit

the step after that though is more bullshit i haven't bothered researching yet

You can't entirely blame the players. XIV goes out of its way to deter people from talking to each other

When all of your (Like, three) progression roads involve daily grinding the same 2 dungeons for months and months and months, of course people are going to want to get them over and done with as fast and efficiently as possible. So there's no time for communication. Not that there's much to talk about in XIV's linear hallway dungeons that all use the same, identical trash > boss > trash > boss > trash > boss format

And Yoshida is not a writer.
>>
>>342191097
PoTD will only be relevant for a month and a half and won't be relevant again until 3.5, it's already shit for being released halfway in a catch up patch instead of launching in 3.3 and being catch up content. The only relevancy it'll keep is leveling and that's already easy as shit without it.
>>
>>342191241
No, he gets praised for it regardless, 3.1 is when he actually got called out for it but those people were silenced before ironically making a sticky thread about 3.1's shitty problems days later.

The recent E3 live letter revealed the glowing weapons will be the only gear related reward, you'll level them inside the dungeon and get to take them outside and they'll keep their level or some shit.

Yoshida also confirms that experience points earned while in the Deep Dungeon will transfer back to your regular class experience, but at a reduced rate because leveling in the Deep Dungeon happens at a much quicker pace.

I resubbed for 3.3, and they kept that dumbass 1-per-week limit on midan gears.
Even if i had 1000 Lore, which I don't, it'll take me another 5 weeks before I could buy a Lore weapon.

Nidhogg is easy as well, I just need one party where the other 7 players can avoid fucking up for 10 minutes.

>>342191097
>3.35
Hah, more like 3.15 was already that point and already did fistfuck the game. It won't be worth looking into again until the next expansion and 4.0 at the earliest, and that'll only be a cursory glance to see if they're actually going to do something with it instead of recycle 2.0 a third time. Even if it does show promise, smart money will be to continue to avoid it until 4.2-4.3 to make sure they're not selling snake oil.

Esoterics is 210. Also even if I had the 7 midan gears, I couldn't possibly have enough Lore to buy the weapon until today; and if I'd been saving up I wouldn't be a high enough iLv to attempt Niddy because the 210 weapon drops my average below the minimum.

>>342193652
I physically can't. Midan Gears are still capped. And no one is going to take someone not at max welfare iLv, let alone without experience, into Savage.

Getting to 220 is fucking easy. Buy a cheap lore piece, get your Weeping City and grind Alexander Midas for a day and you can get there in a week. The only piece that isn't easy to get is a remotely relevant weapon. I'm in the same boat as that guy and sitting on 3 gears at the moment and this shit fucking sucks.

Ala Mhigo.jpg
493KB, 1370x538px
My biggest problem with the games current direction is that it shows no signs of changing for the better.

For all intents and purposes, endgame in XIV is bland as fuck. There's very little to do, aside from maybe level an alt. class or raid. The constant
>Log in
>Do dailies for weekly tomestone
>Log out

Shit is sad, and I was hoping they'd at least make some changes to it come 3.0, and I was sorely disappointed.

4.0 looks like it's going to be more of the same, except now we're just trucking over to save Ala Mhigo, a city nobody cares about.

Not only that, but the devs literally can't into class design.

Two classes are obscenely powerful and they've made no attempt to fix them (SCH and WAR) and if you play a class that you want to play that doesn't fit into the current meta (AST and PLD) people meme at you for playing a shit class and force you to play something else. Class balance is so bad that you can't even raid with one specific healer composition because SCH is so mandatory in these raids that not bringing one fucks you over.

They need to fix a lot about it for me to be hyped for 4.0, because no, introducing Samurai and Red Mage won't fix that.

There's no surprise since Midas is unlocked and is easy as shit to get all 220 except for the weapon. It's retarded to still lock those gears when you still have to save up the Lore, it was retarded to require another item aside from the tomes in the first place. They always fuck up after getting shit mostly right, the first 200 weapon was better because it only needed tomes. Needing the item to upgrade them to 240 is fine, needing encrypted tomes to get the base weapon is retarded.

I'll admit I'm mad, even in FFXI which was a way more jewish game, you could upgrade superweapons "forever".

In 14 you'd do shitloads of work just to have your progress 95% reset every, what, year now? Cause of the rate they stated they wanna do expansions?

Doing that much work for a weapon that comes out after raid weapons is mind blowing. It either needs to progress differently or be made strongest for that level of grind.

I know whats happening to you. 14 is very picky with newer nvidia driver builds. ROLL /BACK/ your drivers.

I'm not sure which diff builds are safe atm but whatever you're currently on is not. You can google-fu to help find out whats best to rollback to or you can just test it manually. I'd say 2/3 nvidia driver versions work on 14, another 1/3 dont. Its shocking how often this is the prob and people spend weeks not realizing it.

Life is always fleeting. Just try to set up and enjoy good times. You can be alone in a corner forever and remember that when its your time to die or you can remember romance, bromance, times you built shit and were proud of it, the cool things you left behind that others envy.

Its difficult on 4chan because a lot of people don't have ego, their self esteem is shit. When you have self esteem or a measurable amount of ego, these things matter and communicate to you. It can be a vicious cycle unless you take the first step to enjoying life.

No, warring triad actually got an intermission for 3.3 instead of a second primal, I'm not even joking.

I mean content wise, we're still fine. 3.4 will have final Alexander Raid and probably Zurvan, while 3.5 will have the final Mhach raid and probably Sophia. This is assuming they aren't holding Warring triad hostage for progression patches.

MSQ wise the Dragonsong war is done. You literally can't get any more done than it currently is and it even has a post-MSQ sidequest chain that has you going through your quest and reflecting on shit before pressing F to pay respects.

They should rework Castrum and Praetorium to be like that little Warring Triad interlude.
No one likes doing story roulette and it's horrible for new players to be subjected to the apathy of speedrunners. Turning those two into solo instances would be ideal, just add a bunch of high-tier Grand Company NPCs and/or the scions to help the player during the Dungeons.

The worst part about English localization is that at some point they decided that they're too cool for anime-style attack callouts that some bosses do so they consistently remove all of them (such as Shiva's Diamond Dust, or Ravana's Chandrahas) even when it ruins the entire point of a joke (Gilgamesh attempts to cast Megaflare with a fake copy of Nael's halberd).

I feel like there's a lot of good ones out there to be played, and I'm currently playing one. Looking for the "next big thing" is just asking for it though, if you've ever felt any kind of burnout from mmos, chasing after the next big one is a mistake. For me anyways.

They already confirmed some time ago that 4.0 will not require players to have completed the 3.0 storyline, because WoWfugees hate having to skip cutscenes before they can get to the latest hardcore raid, after all that's literally the only thing that matters in any MMO.
>>
>>342203152
I recall hearing someone say that SE said the 4.0 MSQ won't require completing HW, but I fully expect them to go back on that.

With the way this game is designed, I just can't envision an expansion that isn't a stock-standard linear increase complete with all the trappings like a max level increase, ilvl increase, etc. I really don't want it to be that, because leveling is enough of a pain as it is with 60 levels, but I just don't see how else they could do it.

Broil: 気炎法

>>
>>342203605
It's not as bad as you make it sound

Galvanize = Inspiration (that's what the word means)
Adloquium = Encouragement Tactic (adloquium means encouragement in Latin so that's fine)
Succor = Morale-raising Tactic (kinda correct translation)
Leeches = Life Purification Plan (Complete fuckup)
Sacred Soil = Field Treatment Camp (Literal bullshit in translation, scholars aren't clergy)
Lustrate = Life Reactivation Plan (translation tangentially related)
Indomitability = Indomitability Tactic
Broil = High Spirits Plan (I don't quite get this one, are we literally dominating the enemy with our ego?)
Dissipation = Reversal

So besides two big stinkies in form of Leeches and Sacred Soil, it's actually pretty closely translated.
Yeah they didn't stick "plan" or "tactic" at the end of every move, but is that really a good idea?

I don't have a problem with cutscenes, but squeenicks seriously had a fucking problem with them in the end-game ARR dungeons.

Holy shit, did it ever cross anyone's mind that "Hey, it's probably a bad idea to put these long-ass cutscenes in the middle of a dungeon where and have old players get pissed off at newer players for trying to follow the story?"

The story is definitely a problem in 2.x, not the story itself but the way it's delivered by jerking you around everywhere. Granted this is standard with a lot of MMO but it's still annoying and retarded as fuck just how much filler there is between anything actually interesting happening. It even continued onto 2.1 with even more bullshit filler to force people to do all the shit everyone ignored back then.

Later patches and HW somewhat eased up on it and have much less filler, but it just went to show how little substance there actually is to the game, because the main story is now only 8-10 quests that are over in just an hour or less.

>>342203605
Direct translations for those would sound fucking retarded. Adloquium in particular is a pretty good localization since it's a latin word that apparently translates roughly to encouragement or reassuring words so it carries the same meaning as the Japanese name. It's also appropriate since in the western world, Latin was the traditional academic language in the west. Latin is linked with academics and an antiquated language, so Adloquium is quite a fitting ability name for scholars from a long dead civilization.

It's not that. It's that some of the cutscenes were over fucking 10 minutes long, so players going through the dungeon again, who have already seen the cutscenes, get stuck with newer players who will naturally (hopefully) want to watch the cutscenes.

The options are either drop, wait for the players for like 30 minutes to finish their cutscenes (nobody does this lol), or just plow through all the bosses while the new guys watch the cutscenes, not letting them actually take part in the dungeon..

You're joking, right

A healer with infinite MP management, the ability to shit out tons of MP-free heals at the tap of a button, a ridiculously overpowered shielding ability, a fucking fairy that is ALWAYS HEALING even when you're DPSing (which is not something the other two healers can do), fantastic DPS, and it's not broken?

A WHM can drop down Divine Seal with Regen and/or Medica II and even drop down an Asylum and go ham in Cleric Stance. Plus on trash you just stun chain packs while dpsing so your tank isn't even taking damage while you're doing huge amounts of burst. AST can't do that quite as well and doesn't have a stun on their aoe (though they can still stun a pack for 4 seconds on a long cooldown), but they can do it to a lesser extent too. I'm not saying SCH isn't strong, but don't pretend they're the only ones who can keep their party alive while dpsing.

You need to spend GCD after GCD setting that up as a WHM/AST; it costs no time for you to do as a SCH.

You need to spend MP to do that as a WHM/AST; it costs no MP to do that as a SCH.

You cannot actively heal your tank as you DPS as a WHM/AST; you can as a SCH with your fairy.

So please don't try to tell me that because a WHM can pop up Regen and an AST can pop up Asp. Benefic that it's the same thing, because it's not. SCH can literally do all of that at no extra time or MP needed. SCH is broken. It's not getting nerfed because Yoshi P doesn't like you. No amount of

>>342203549
Who knows if that will actually stop them though.

I really hope we don't get new abilities. Or rather, if we get them, they should just be alternate choices for our current ones.

Really though, how could you add content to this game and actually get people to play it without increasing ilvl? It would basically require remaking the stat system from scratch or simply inventing a whole new means of progression that is basically mandatory.

>>342205515
Synastry is just their version of Divine Seal with the extra perk of healing two people at once, it's something but not enough to carry the entire class. What they should have had is a barrier ability that turns big hits into a DoT, so that big damage is mitigated by being dealt over 10 seconds or whatever instead of all at once. They should have done more with the concept of time and space in general.
>>
>>342205705
>You need to spend GCD after GCD setting that up
You spend exactly one GCD setting up Divine Seal + Regen or Medica II and an Asylum. Just like you're probably going to want to set up a shield on SCH before you start doing damage.

You can't fit pressing all those abilities into one GCD, are you fucking mental?

It takes somewhere around 2-3GCDs, or about 5 or 6 seconds to set that shit up. You don't just magically skip through all the animation bullshit

if it were up to me personally, just focus on primarily adding story, side quests, new classes, glamour shit. introduce some sort of specialization system (healer paladins, tank dragoons, actual dps warriors). bring back the massive non-instanced dungeons from 1.0 to add some form of pve competition other than raid poopsocking. condense it all into an expansion that still keeps the lv60 cap so there's no hard reset on progression.

that's all based on the fact that i haven't had a chance to play deep dungeons since it hasn't released yet though. from what we know it's an alternate form of progression where the holy trinity does not matter at all. can go in with 4 dps if you want

Well that's what happens when you have two stances which are literally WHM and SCH stance.

There's definitely a slight delay, but you can perfectly press Divine Seal which is an "instant" skill then Regen right after, then plop down Asylum while the GCD is rolling then Medica 2 right after either Swiftcasted or not. At most it'll take you 3 seconds to do all that.

What are you expecting? It's the same with WAR. DRK is just a dark pld and ast is a whm with cards. SCH isn't overpowered, there is just nothing else like it.
>>
>>342206529
AST's single target shields aren't great (though they can put those down on the move which is pretty nice), but Aspected Helios shields are now 20% stronger than Succor's shields and being able to cast both a strong direct heal with Benefic II without having to worry about Aetherflow and provide shields at the same is pretty nice. They also have excellent mobility while providing heals between Aspected Benefic, Lightspeed and Essential Dignity. Honestly, with the buff to their shields I think the only thing preventing AST from being a viable alternative (though not a direct replacement) to SCH is that their dps and utility contributions are unreliable because of how the card mechanic works.

Most sch can't even heal through high damage.

Is Square still gonna end 3.x @ 3.55 or continue on with 3.6/3.7?

I don't see them making a 4th raid tier for both 8 and 24 man, so it'll very likely end at 3.5 or 3.55 again.

>>342207348
What?
Holy has been nerfed three times.

Sure they nerfed AoE nukes, still not to the extent of Bard's nerfs.
>>
>>342207529
They should have made Warring Triad part of the MSQ
>>
>>342207484
Fights just need more healer checks in general to mitigate them trying to push dps.

A8S was nice during progression for the amount of mandatory shielding it required in addition to Succoring for a lot of raid-wide damage. Unlike previous tiers where it was 90% DPSing.
>>
>>342207683
>Holy has been nerfed three times.
They gave WHMs Aero 3, an AOE spell so good you use it in single target
They gave WHMs Assize, a really cool nuke that can be used to both heal and attack, it also recovers MP and gives you blowjobs

But oh, they nerfed Holy
WHAT TRAGEDY
>>
>>342207757
So we could have a stilted MSQ just like 2.X did where they had to tread along two storylines at the same time, causing pacing issues because "Oh whoops, a Primal is pissed, let's fix that first".

>>
>>342207801
That wasn't the point. Everyone knows Holy is insane, but what that guy was trying to say is that clearly Holy has had direct nerfs.
>>
>>342207683
What was the third nerf? I recall the potency reduction, and then the multi-target nerf of 3.0 that got applied to other classes as well.

Didn't it used to have a longer stun or something as well?
>>
>>342207991
Holy got changed, but that's just to balance the class as a whole. BRDs got hit with a WD reduction that persists to this day and plagues both it and MCH, that's a lot more important than one spell getting rebalanced.
>>
>>342208160
Whether it's big or small, it's still a nerf.
>>
>>342208000
Yeah, and they added diminishing returns on stuns. It was a change intended for PvP but they made it global.
Not a huge nerf, and not specific to Holy, but a nerf nonetheless to WHMs dungeon stomping ability

The potency nerf was from scholars crying no one would take them along for Wanderers Palace speedruns , back when Myth tomes were weekly capped.
>>
Alright guys, what's your favorite community of healers? Since we all know main one, fuck the rest applies for healer mains. http://www.strawpoll.me/10542514

I miss when ast were bullied, now they're just whiny cunts and shistposters.

Thread reached bump limit, quick post sexy female roegadyns

Don't you guys think that since this is a PvE focused game wouldn't it be better to simply buff AST and WHM rather than nerfing SCH? SCH is super good but it isn't gamebreaking by any means, fuck up and you're still dying the same way as any other healer. Rather than removing something fun from the game i think making the other classes better is a much more positive resolution.

>He's a "healer main" but he only plays one job
I'd kick that guy
>>
>>342208263
>and they added diminishing returns on stuns
Wasn't that more just part of the overall mob-resistance system they implemented in....2.1(?) to prevent stun abuse like PLDs did with Shield Bash?
>>
>>342207983

I don't even touch healer, I play DPS and Tank. ASTs have shit heals and piss off the entire raid by delaying pulls by an extra 20 seconds because they didn't think to draw cards while we were all waiting on cooldowns.

Fuck ASTs.

And fuck you you mentally ill transfaggot who couldn't even keep the tank alive through hummel faust.

>The sch community is so mad about its future nerfs and so fucking egotistical and autistic that it likes to "bully" classes in the same role in fear of getting replace
>But no ast players are bad

jesus christ this is some next-level autism
>>
>>342208251
By straight up nerfing I meant nerfing the class as a whole, not just one ability. Bard got a big fucking ass nerf that was arguably needed to an extent, with how mobile they were and everyone stacking them. They haven't nerfed an entire class like that since then, only some abilities while still buffing the class in other areas.

>>
>>342208324
WHM doesn't need buffs and I say this as a WHM main.
>>
>>342208417
There will be no SCH nerfs.
Still not seeing a link to that "interview".
Stay mad horoscope-reading cunt.
>>
>>342208442
Nerfing an ability does nerf the class as a whole. Are you retarded?
>>
>>342208495
Personally I'd like to see something a bit more than STONE II FOR GODDAMN YEARS on terms of our offensive abilities, maybe combo from 1>2>3 ?
>>
>>342208495
Whm needs better mp regen.
>>
>>342208495
Only QoL I could ask for is Shroud of Saints scaling better with gear.
>>
>>342208615
So far I haven't had much issues with MP besides towards the very end of last bosses, shroud of saints, assize and not fucking casting Cure II all the time works well
>>
>>342208603
Another water spell maybe? Annoying that fluid aura is still the only one when there's 3 stones and aeros.

keep telling yourself that, your tears once i get to rape eos and selene as you watch will sustain me for decades
>>
>>342208615
Shroud and Assize are plenty of MP regen. Just don't sit there spamming your Medica II and make use of your cooldowns. Asylum in particular is disgustingly underutilized by WHMs. It's not a long cooldown, it's free and doesn't take up a GCD. There's no downside to using it.
>>
>>342208615
>Luminiferous Aether's buff time was increased
>combine with Celestial Opposition
>Ewere is more regen

I don't see why they thought it fair to increase LA's regen time but not SoS
