Why are you not currently playing the greatest MMORPG ever created?

>>712578304 (OP)
why should i play it

>>712578503
You tell me nigger?
What other choice is there.

I am indeed playing New World

>>712578580
>Reddit World

i REFUSE to pay monthly to """"""own"""""" a game, never touched the mmorpg genre because of this

Would rather try 11 than 14.

>>712578304 (OP)
is that a buttplug?

>>712578304 (OP)
i could not make friends so i quit

Even the best MMO is still 100% pure unfiltered donkey doo doo.

>>712578304 (OP)
I'm mining stars on f2p worlds, is that counts as playing, will most likely resub for Varalmore p3

>youtubers who use their xiv avatar as their talking piece
why do they always do this? lmao. It's hilarious, I got a Macbook Air for school and was curious on Mac for XIV and on the front banner has a fucking au'ra on it lol. like seriously what the helly

No that's Stellar Slop

>>712579480
>pay monthly for the privilege of playing a game you already bought
>the whole game is one giant nostalgia pandering session, basically the vidya equivalent of disneyworld (complete with its own disney adults)
>99% of the game is locked behind a dogshit story that totally made i cry evrytim

I tried FFXIV on my macbook, works suprisingly well

You can reduce anything to absurd like this if you filter it through lens of disdain.

>>712580106
dude im not talking about that, i'm talking about people using their character as their own avatar and shit, gets a little weird like they act like it's their own OC or something LOL

>>712578304 (OP)
I play when I can, but I've been busy. Still working through the patch MSQ

impossible to take anything this fanbase says seriously when they consider brainrot instanced fates as the peak mmo experience

>>712578304 (OP)
I still do, but there's not a whole lot of interesting things to do in it right now

>>712578304 (OP)
I got banned for 30 days for voidlisting my most dedicated stalker.

Something inside me snapped, and I uninstalled the game and never went back.

who the fuck makes these retardedly fake ass post like the anon above me?

>>712580921
>typical dark triad narcissist who hates that voidlist exist

FFXIV is the only game where someone got snippy with me for referring to strangers as "dude" or "you guys"
make of that information what you will

>>712580257
there is literally nothing wrong with that

>>712581178
>FFXIV is the only game where..

oh this is fun
FFXIV is the only game where I had people take screenshots of my character, use some sort of model editor to put diapers on them, and then posed them like a baby reaching for a bottle and sent me a link to the screenshots.

Granted I was playing a lala at the time so it may have been deserved, but I have never seen such technology used elsewhere.

FFXIV is the only game where I have been sent images of somebody self harming because I wasn't giving them the attention they thought they deserved.

>>712581281
nah it's definitely hella cringe like you're a grown ass man lol you're not some male edgy miqote fag lmfao

>>712581721
you want to see some hairy neckbeard or his miqo'te avatar? think about what you are saying

because 7.0 killed game

I have never once installed a mod for XIV
Can you say the same?

>>712581981
no, I installed the Dante mod hoping it would make DRK less boring
it didn't

I've come back to XIV like 3 or 4 times for expansions, and I like it less each time. I don't think it's the quality of the game, I think it's me just not being able to enjoy it as much anymore.

>>712578304 (OP)
I played it. Game isn't doing anything to retain my interest past the Dawntrail launch. 2010-2024 was a good run.

>>712581981
I've only installed a mod to make gposing better

>>712583432
My friend told me he doesn't feel like playing anymore because he got bored. He said the content cycle is too samey and all jobs are too similar. I still like the game but that was a bummer. 8.0 really needs to shake things up

>>712578304 (OP)
It's a troon game. YoshiP open the floodgates for the troops when he introduced that tranny cat into the game.

>>712578304 (OP)
Because it kept forcing me to play it's fucking garbage solo only story quests when all I wanted to do was play with my friends. You know, the thing MMOs are supposed to fucking be about.

>>712583567
>wow has tranny politics, but a chud playerbase
>xiv has chud politics, but a tranny playerbase
it's funny

>>712581362
there's a few lala players laughing at how retarded the little baby character model is and the rest are probably just pedophiles or self-insert diaperfags

>>712583680
Since you brought it up, I find it really funny that wow has lgbt employees as well as lbgt characters and quests, but it gets a pass
XIV has little to no lgbt content in the game and 1 EN VA that is a tranny and gets ridiculed to hell and back for it

>>712581721
A lot of those types switched to male viera which is even worse because you hear a sperg voice coming out of an even more effeminate bishounen

>>712578304 (OP)
I've never played it before. I've never gotten into any MMORPG. The only MMO esque game I've invested a lot of time in is gta online, which is a game rife with problems.
Is it ACTUALLY good? Is it engaging? How involved is it? How much time do you spend on it?

>>712584075
I'd guess its likely not a game you would enjoy.
Its a very story-forward game, and tab target combat.
But if you are interested look up some videos of people playing it. There is a pretty substantive free trial

>>712583891
yeah because nobody gives a fuck about the story in wow
they could turn every single character into a prancing la-la homo man and nobody would notice until some streamer throws a bitchfit about it

>>712583891
Don't kid yourself, wow gets shit all the time for all the woke shit like tranny dragons and gay centaurs.
I can't really explain why the 2 players bases are the way they are in a concise way.

>>712584270
Is it a game worth getting into now or is this one of those games where the years of playtime others have had would be a problem?

>>712584075
Is it ACTUALLY good?
Some parts are good, but you have to get involved with the story. There are some fun older fights and pretty locations but nothing that would 100% sell the game.
Is it engaging?
How involved is it?
It is cookie cutter tab target MMO gameplay. Recent additions to jobs/skills have made a lot of the jobs feel really bad to play because it takes ages to get to the real meat of class. Personally, I really enjoyed the crafting but it is still a rotation. Some of the later endgame fights have a bunch of mechanics where if one person fucks up they wipe the group, but there's plenty of baby content if you just want to do dungeons and raid.
How much time do you spend on it?
I think I had about 6k hours or so before I quit.

XIV
Yoshi P
Dawntrail
Occult Crescent
Sena Bryer
Homestuck
Barry
2 Minute

>>712584446
It wouldn't be a problem
You CAN do most things now solo with NPCs
But even if you want to do dungeons with players, you can. If you choose a DPS the queue for it can take a while though

>>712584641
lmao shut it dweeb

>>712584416
>nobody gives a fuck about the story in wow
There were plenty of people that cared about the lore in wow, but I think that's still a fair point. Like, maybe a lorefag came back to wow after a few years of not keeping up with it and doesn't know that chromie is trans now.

>>712584697
why god why

>>712584446

the main issue with ffxiv is that the game itself has gotten worse with time, by focusing more on story and making actually playing more dumbed down and boring

as a result the game's community has been entirely replaced by goon modders and people who cheat their way through end game fights

>>712584446
just wait for endwalker to be added to the free trial then play the game up to that point, and quit.

>>712578304 (OP)
Mmos have awful UI and terrible controls and info want to have to use a fucking mod to make it actually bearable to look at.

>>712584765
he's going to have WAY bigger disappointments than some dipshit writer saying "she's a guy btw" on twitter

This game is fucking gay, everyone that plays it is fucking gay, it's boring, the story sucks, it's a slog, the abilities suck, playing it is dull, the abilities are dull, it fucking sucks.

It will be going forward, starting with DT. Long gone are the days of xiv where minfilia advocates for closed borders and godbert calls the sultana a retard for wanting to give refugees free gibs.

I already am.

>t.

dawntrail killed it for me
idk if I'll ever resub. would need a lot, a fucking hell of a lot to bring me back.

>>712585482
This is true. I liked WoW because I hated the Alliance, now everyone is the same and everything is gay. I liked UO because it was fun to meet people, visit their houses, and hate the griefers. I liked Foxhole because I hate blueberries.

I think hatred makes MMOs good actually.

She's going to make lyse's benching look like a fucking joke.

>>712586438
It's unfortunate, too. Wuk could've been a likeable character if they didn't make her the main character. I found her very endearing in the initial patch quests.

>>712586438
>'there's no walk of lament she got benched :^)))))'
>wuk appears LITERALLY 1 second into the patch msq
>is front and center in an unskippable cutscene that makes you learn about the fucking rtx city again
i will not be fooled again

>>712587018
I feel bad for her jap VA

>>712587210
They even bring her up in every piece of side content including fucking Occult Crescent.

>>712587210
Feel free to be skeptical.
Me? I played the patch myself and noticed a distinct reduction in wuk. The greentext I provided is the most obvious example of her being diminished.

>>712578304 (OP)
Not in VR. I play VR.

>>712587325
Yea. I've used JP voice actors since I first started playing and she's so cute in Japanese. The whole genki girl putting up a tough front character is adorable and was executed super well at first but they fucked it hard.

How did they manage to fuck up Occult Crescent? Are they actually trying to fail on purpose? It's the only explanation.

>>712587325
It was her first big role too, iirc. Too bad for her. I hope the japs at least recognized she did her job well even if the character was terribly written.

>>712587654
how did they fuck up occult crescent

>>712587325
I'm sure they'll pick another genki tomboy out of the billions of other VAs that fulfill that exact character archetype and do literally no other voice work.

>>712587654
The thing you have to understand about xiv now is it's all reused content and templates, yoship has straight up admitted this. The dude has "solved" the game down to every penny and second of dev time.

>>712588029
>they didn't even do that much
That's the point. Stop looking at xiv as a game and look at it as an investment. How much budget and manpower can you shave off of xiv while still breaking records with each new expansion?
What's that? Subs are dropping off during DT patches? Let's just sell some merch with an insane mark up to offset it.

>>712579480
>why does playing ffxiv in 2025 feel so cringe?

>>712588262
I'm guessing you're a /vg/ crossie if you're dropping names I've never heard of like I'm supposed to know them.

I wonder if one day we won't look back fondly on the "listen to me" like the laughing from ff10, probably not.

>>712588354
I'm asking why you're not on /vm/ with GT and Yzilma when you made a big stink about how everyone there was sane unlike the lunatics here who are impossible to hold conversations with.

>>712588451
This is the second time you've insisted I'm one of the voices in your head. I am telling you to go back to /vg/ where you can actually talk with those voices.

>>712588437
No, have you even played FF10? The laughing scene is intentionally goofy because Tidus is trying to tease Yuna. The English voice actor nails the exact same delivery as JP too.

>>712588437
Maybe in an ironic sense. They rerecorded because the delivery was ass in the first place. FF10 laugh was intentional in the script.

>>712588437
No, sorry. Aggressively bad dogshit doesn't get to be remembered fondly. Pray return to the waking sands, this shit is not.

>>712578304 (OP)
>Greatest MMORPG
lol with people like this? I think not.
Imagine playing an MMO and someone is fucking triggered over other player characters just standing around not blocking anything in particular.

>>712588547
What does /vg/ have to do with /vm/ where you can join fellow sane posters like GT and Yzilma?

>>712588437
It's just /v/ that hangs onto that as far as I can tell. No meme potential there.

>>712588640
that's honestly hilarious. free trial muiltiboxers are based.

>>712588651
If it was just /v/, they wouldn't have had the VA rerecord the lines after launch.
The face SE did that is pretty yuge since yoship's MO regarding xiv's fuck ups is basically to fix it in later content.

>>712588651
You obviously don't play the game because I see shout chat spam SPEEEEEEEN every time Calamity Bound is up. Little buddy, don't tell me you haven't even been doing OC after you shilled it for the past year.

>>712588753
I don't think they actually rerecorded anything, just used an alternate take.

>>712588262
>Why aren't you on /vm/ withother sane posters like Anon and Anon?

Don't break again, faggot.

>>712588437

>>712588437
It's not really funny enough for that even in the whole "TROONS BTFO #MEMEWATCH #BASED #PEPETHEFROG" sense where it gets hate-shilled here constantly

>>712588841
They're not anonymous, you can go to the thread yourself and see they post as GT and Yzilma. Then you can stay there with your fellow sane posters who love Wuk Lamat.

>>712588794
I hope that's true because it would be even funnier.

he is cranky because he cannot parry his own namedrop of /vg/ ebins

Because I played better mmos in the past.

>>712589098
You're free until deep dungeon and then the OC update where they shove more jobs in

>>712578304 (OP)
Because there's no way to appear offline or remove yourself from other peoples friendslists so now whenever I log in I get bombarded by people I added a long time ago to be nice asking me to do shit and it's really uncomfortable and awkward.

And before you say "alt" yes I made one but redoing everything just feels like work at this point.

>>712589223

>>712589098
Why did they rerecord those lines during the Sphene Trial and make them sound objectively worse? Like original they sounded like dubbed 90s anime and now they sound like someone who can't see out of one eye reading from a script written in barely legible print.

>>712589438
Because so many people laughed at it and Sena probably spammed Kate's discord DMs having a mental breakdown over it.

>>712589223
wasn't sure if i was missing anything, thanks.

>>712589438
Because they couldn't outright tell him "hey do those lines again but try sounding less like a dude this time" and he probably did it lazily out of spite, you know how those "people" are.

>>712590275
And Null is a pedophile, grass is green and the sky is blue. I see we are in a competition to state obvious mundane facts

>>712588931
They should be, though. Why even 4Chan? They are really just not anonymous at heart.

>>712590379
I guess since this thread is full of evil transphobic crossposters you have no other recourse but to move to /vm/ with sane posters like Yzilma and GT who respect transfolx and love Wuk Lamat. It's the only place you can have a proper conversation anymore, like you said before.

>>712590394
Same reason the guy below you keeps fighting his inner demons on /v/ instead of getting therapy or antipsychotics.

>>712590394
The XIV community is full of narcissists so XIV threads have an unusually high number of namefags and avatarfags who think they're the main character.

>>712588640
It's funny that they went through and added an entirely new blacklist system (that caused tons of drama) for situations like this instead of just dealing with the people causing problems directly.

For the record it isn't funny or interesting in any way, someone got upset at people idling in "their" spot in limsa so they've spent YEARS making hundreds of alts and having them logged in 24/7 clogging up the zone. It serves no purpose other than to be a monument to some retards autism fit.

Also hi janny, still upset over FFXIV I see.

>>712591545

total thread-spammer defeat
up to and including tying his own ego into the game's ability to have threads

>>712578304 (OP)
already am

>>712591545
A few years ago we would have had the strength of numbers and autism to just brute force threads while the janny seethed, but unfortunately the game is fucked, hype is dead, and avatarschizos drove off tons of regular posters.

>>712591545
I think he's upset that one guy didn't serve his year long ban

>>712591660
Schizos have driven off most of the regular posters on this board in general. Every thread is a shitshow.

>>712591751
It's kinda unreal how every single topic on this board has at least one dedicated schizo. There's not a single game you can talk about in peace.

>>712591741
>year long ban
Was it the guy who made a 14 thread

>>712591941
the one who makes them more often than not yeah
was busy this thread freaking out about /vm/ posters

>>712591741
Yep, janny never autosaged threads before that one poster got banned.
>>712592004
Everyone one person right little buddy? Well since I singlehandedly make every post you don't like, I guess you have no choice but to move to /vm/ with sane posters like GT and Yzilma where I can't bother you anymore with my evil incorrect anti-Wuk opinions.

>>712591824
worst bit is they're painfully unfunny or uninteresting and they somehow have access to a large store of unbanned IPs to keep dodging bans with every five seconds, usually in pursuit of literally nothing, no goal behind it, just be an annoying faggot all day every day. even lee gave up when he doxed himself by accident and now instead of whining about ponies all day he just uploads doom demos

>>712591824
Which is why unironically offtopic threads tend to be the most comfy

If OC couldn't save XIV then it's basically finished. This was the one thing everyone was looking forward to and they fucked it up. Warrior of Light Ultimate will be the game's last hurrah and then we can all quietly move on.
