I have become a wow refugee

I don’t know how much fun you can get going 20 feet somewhere else to watch a badly translated cutscene, and that is the rarity as most are just “go here, kill something and get xp.” The only story is msq.

And that, my dear friend,.is where we disagree on a basic level.

Current content has some heavy RNG but it’s also all optional content. I’m talking about the current relic weapon you get in Eureka. The step in Eureka Pyros has a part where you need to farm up 2 light. You then use those 2 light to roll random secondary stats on your weapon. It’s blah RNG but also not that important as you can get weapons that are just as good or better via other methods.

That said, I’ve been back to FF14 for 2 years now and can’t stop playing. This game is leaps and bounds more alt class friendly as well. People who like playing alt classes would love this games setup. No need to REDO EVERYTHING OVER AND OVER each time you want to level another alt class.

The game’s story is required content and what is there is dull.

I did all the dungeons and the relics and anything battle class related. All that is left is alts.

The game designer says he designs the game around being unsubbed between patches and it shows.

That is because alts are the main content attraction.

You dont need alts.

Your toon can do multiple roles.

lol that’s like saying in wow ‘have you leveled up an alt of every class’ in my experience you do get some interesting new quests of different classes, but all the dungeons and everything else is the same.

Also the fact that it’s all on one character reduces the incentive as it means there’s a lack of rested xp.

Got a quote for this? Patches come out about every 6-8 weeks. Doesn’t leave much time to unsub. I got a friend from WoW into the game and they are loving it. They are also shocked how often patches come out.

That’s the one thing I don’t like. it leaves no incentive to play other races

In that game multiple characters exist only as bank space. “alts” refer to classes that aren’t your main.

“patches” with story content come out every 3-4 months.

No one is resubbing for the recent patch that added the new rival wings mode that is a 1:1 copy of wow warfronts but in pvp.

Source?

you need a source for the patch that got released 2 weeks ago that added some pvp balancing and a game mode people only play for the achievements before abandoning it?

I want a source for your statement above

The description of the pvp mode that everyone who plays ffxiv knows about as it is the only pvp queue that does not take 3 hours to get into a match.

your flowery opinion about the game is not based around playing it, is it? No wonder we disagree.

How do you know this.

I know that the pvp mode is because I spammed it to level up my dps classes as dungeon queue times are stupid in that game for how necessary doing them is to level.

I know no one is resubbing for that as there is nothing there to sub for.

So you dont know. What you think isnt there to sub for may very well be not what others think worthwhile.

In short, you rushed to max level, ignored content you deemed worthless (which seems to be a huge portion) and wrote the rest off as its useless…to you.

Hate to say this, but that speaks more of you than it does the game.

So people are subbing for a new map in a pvp mode that the community has to schedule “rival wings” days for as the queue is literally indefinite otherwise?

I did every msq, hardmode dungeon, and relic weapon for my main class I had an interest in. I did not move to another expansion’s content without completing the previous expansion’s content in full.

No, sidequests that no one (and I mean NO ONE) does do not count. Crafting does not count for the majority of the playerbase that does not touch them.

It is as silly to have a honeymoon period for a game YOU CLEARLY HAVE NOT EVEN PLAYED YET (just about everything in the game changed since 2.0 originally released) as it is to insult me by claiming I have done nothing in a game I did everything there is to do. If I resubbed, ALL I could do is level alts until the next story patch, at which point I would get maybe 2 hours of content I haven’t seen before.

No, sidequests that no one (and I mean NO ONE) does do not count.

Again, you dont know what others do.

Crafting does not count for the majority of the playerbase that does not touch them.

Im going to ask how you know this.

No, he just refuses to address balance issues, telling people to “git gud”.

Seriously, Yoshi-p irritated me. The holier than thou forum players that can’t take criticism irritated me. I was turned off after a while.

But you do you.

You get rested exp from staying/logging out in safe zones. You also get bonus exp from having another job with a higher level. So usually you would level your main job via MSQ to level cap, then all other jobs will gain bonus exp from having at least your main job at higher level. If you join a free company (guild), they can also put on exp buff for their members. If you’re in a preferred world, you get exp buff from that. Then there are the items that give exp buff, like the one from preordering the upcoming expansion that will arrive on March 1 and give you 30% exp from 1-70 and scale to your level. Essentially plenty of exp buffs nowadays both for your main and alt jobs.

Yes, I do AS I THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME WAS A WEEK AGO.

This is the problem with you (a guy whose experience with the game is by hearsay and unquestioned belief of fanboys) trying to to fight a battle unarmed with a guy who has seen the game to the end of the available content.

I lurk on these forums a lot and I have to say I always like your posts.

“Please look forward to it”

The only buff worth anything there is “road to 60,” and the armory bonus gets less the closer you are to your max leveled character.
