dead fucking game

Generals belong on /vg/.

yea

>>713165115 (OP)
does the game actually have any issues other than a bad voice actor because that's all i ever see anons bitch about

>>713166159
every piece of content released in the last year has been bad

>>713166159
Director is checked out (has been for years) and despite releasing "new" content consistently the game is incredibly stale and safe in everything it does
Soul is getting siphoned every patch and shows no signs of slowing down despite the occasional "oops yeah maybe we went too far maybe look forward to next time I dunno lol"
FFXI gets more varied updates still today, even if they're a year+ apart

>>713165115 (OP)
>Endwalker and Dawntrail have killed teh playerbase. What is your plan to address?
>Here are 10 slides of Hildibrand. We will work hard to update this every patch. Please enjoy.

>>713166159
It’s not even just the voice actor. They added in an unlikeable character and gave them way too many lines. In just one expansion this character had more lines than main characters who were present for all expansions. In the newest update with post Dawntrail content it even looks like they edited her out of scenes at the last minute. In general the Dawntrail content is really bad. They actually are killing their game but you could argue the game is near the ending of its lifespan too.

>"we will not tune ft for normal play its too costly"

ok then

>>713166051
Hard pass.

>>713166248
>last year
more like 2 - 3 years, considering the patch cycle is more around 4.5-5 months than anything
you don't like what the patch offers? well you're fucked for almost half a year

>>713166159
It's not just a bad voice actor, there are other languages than english and they hate her too. She's completely forced into the plot, in everything. They turned her into the main character. Even worse than alphinaud ever could be before in earlier expacs. She's the mc of the game for dawntrail and has more presence, scenes and lines in that one xpac than the rest of the scions over the games entire tenure or some insane shit. She's always there. It's like that simpsons meme
>wuk lamat has to always be in the scene
>if she isn't there, people should be asking
>"where did wuk lamat go?" "where is wuk lamat"
I don't even know how this got past the writing room its so bad.

>>713166159
It mogs wow

>>713166159
the developers dont play their own game and keep making retarded decisions. most of the community is seething right now

>>713166637
>it's too hard to balance content for lenient/multiple avenues for clearing so everything will just be body checks and in FT's case "do you have the right phantom jobs for specific enemies" checks
God forbid they did what they already did in DR/Dalriada/etc and just let people go crazy

>>713165115 (OP)
I hope the virtue signaling was worth it.

My eternally under 30 sorceress wife will salvage the MSQ. Just one more shitty patch bros, then we'll be golden.

>>713166637
they never said that

>>713166823
But that’s not true

>>713166637
Kill ultimates right now. Kill variant dungeons right now. Kill Chaotic alliance raid right now.

What the fuck are they doing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZTtguGoips
ALL RISE

>No variant
>No deep dungeon
>No ultimate
Uh oh...

>>713166703
first thing I noticed kek
>she's still there

Wuk Lamat HYPE

>>713166637
>you don't understand, we need every little bit of money XIV makes
>we need the money to make an actual demake of a 30 years old game even though an emulated version is better

>>713166703
Dead on fucking arrival these chuckle fucks didn't learn anything

>>713166159
It's excellent until endwalker and good until post-endwalker.
Pre-DT is when the game actually feels so bad that even fans are just dropping it mid MSQ.

>>713166637
Remember the fucking screeching by the savage community, fucking content creator faggots and all, when DRS was pushed back to the tail end of ShB because of time constraints? And now they go fucking "lmao who cares about casual content, get good faggots".
Raiders deserve nothing.

>>713166159
>bad voice actor
The entire character is bad, not just VA. She's basicially Poochie from Simpsons.

But in general expansion is just shit:
>promise a vacation arc where main characters enter a BR tournament
>tournament ends in first quarter of the expansion
>BR idea dropped completely
>suddenly major looming calamity AGAIN
>tragic leader that just wants to remember their people AGAIN
>world created to house memories AGAIN
>main characters sidelined and downgraded to rare comments, 90% of dialogue are dedicated to Poochie
That's all on top of expansion being extremely formulaic and not even trying to experiment with anything. I fucking LOVED XIV from the beginning to end of Endwalker (Stormblood kinda sucked tho), but Dawntrail is just a prime example of a creator's block in gaming form. I'm not even planning to resub until they show the willingness to take major risks with the game.

>>713167006
second live letter
second live letter
will be pushed back to 7.5

>>713165845
faggots like you belong in the gulag

>>713166954
>mfw playing free trial and still haven't finished even ARR

>>713166159
Not really. And that VA hasn't even really had a relevant role in the past patch and probably the next.

>>713166969
Yoshida literally said so on LL right now.
>>713166637
Apparently, making a savage raid that got cleared 400 times so far is a much more cost conscious decision.

>>713167125
>She's basicially Poochie from Simpsons

>>713166996

>>713166703
Oh no no no no AHAHAHAHAAAA

STOP APOLOGIZING
FIX IT

>>713166992
bro the tranny raiders are already crying they don't have an ultimate for 7.3 lmao
this game is fucking dead

>>713166159
Writing fell off hard to YA novel levels, content cadence has slowed to a crawl even though Covid has been over for ages, and when the game used to make its name in the MMO scene with QoL improvements, they now pull retarded decision after retarded decision, and are hampered by a 12 year old dated engine and netcode they don't put any resources in to fix.

>>713167170
I can't believe you watch this shit without knowing japanese.

>>713167229
Then teasing a ultimate in 7.3 would just be the perfect shitstorm. They can't be THAT tone-deaf, right?

>>713166159
>bad voice actor
So people actually listen to English VA? I assume most go with JP voices, on account of them not having been changed multiple times now-

>>713166992
Kill yourself casual. You are the reason every job is the same buttons.

Do it. Go to the kitchen, walk down the road, and save the rest of us who like videos games from your terrible whining. You already are 1 step away from it while you whine on Discord jerk-off sessions with your AGP buddies.

holy shit bros
more pvp
the game is saved, doomers btfo

>>713167125
>>713167187
Samefag, nobody under 50 and in a country other than india cares about the simpsons outside of sneed

>>713166996
FINALLY

>>713166159
Of the main complaint is comparing thing some the redditsons meme you know it’s just spergs crying

>>713167319
>You are the reason every job is the same buttons.
BLM just got simplified because of M8S. All the AoE damage fuckery they did in the last two patches is because of M6S. You have no grounds to stand on, raid tranny.

>>713167221
>sorry we released dogshit
>it WILL happen again

PvPchads won

>>713167372
This tbdesu.
Plus the hated character has been basically irrelevant in the previous patch so it's just sideliners parroting shit.

>>713167319
SAM was ruined because of raidfags crying about variance

>Lowest views for a LL i have ever seen
Yeh this shit is dead lmao.

>>713167298
People went with the English VA precisely because they'd been changed in HW. Britbong VA's are just superior.
However, Kat had the bright idea to pull US VA's in again "because the new expac setting is not-America".

>>713167428
do you suppose if you keep saying it it'll someday be true

>>713167319
Are you retarded?
They made the whole "2minute" formula because raidtrannies wanted it.

>>713167428
We are all watching HSR retard

honestly I like that theres various types of content they're trying to expand on but they just dont have the manpower and budget to do everything so everything feels sparse
like if patches were smaller but much more frequent, I think the players would definitely be happier

>>713167414
they removed line of sight?

>contrarians defending Wuk

Jesus fucking Christ have some standards ffs.

>>713165115 (OP)

>>713167095
>Ded game! Ded game! *frrrrrrrrt* *angry fat noises*
Stop flapping your fat cheetos-stained mouth in the wind about FFXIV being a "dead game". If it's literally dead, why does it still have active players?

>>713167535
>>713167428
You don't need to spam post on cooldown lil broski.

>>713167525
What's that?

>>713167454
I hope they will never trust amerimutts again and just let bongs choose the VAs.

>>713167428
Ffxiv is literally going to outlive you

It's incredible the time they dedicated to PVP when nobody cares and people just play to grind for the rewards.

>>713167319
whmfication of healers, shield/regen split, homogenized raid buffs, homogenized DRK, removal of all positionals, giant hitboxes, homogenized gearing, casters going to instant/1.5s cast times, etc. were all done because of raiders. Casuals are not even aware of 90% of those elements of the game and don't complain about them.

>>713167581
I hope we get Meracydia and it's all aussies.

>"G'day Worrior o' loight!"

>>713167319
Don't kid yourself, these devs are just as much simplifying jobs because they have a narrow idea of Savage/Ultimate fight design. Take it up with SE designing the game for themselves, not the players.

is this good or no?
i dalmost haven't played ffxiv pvp, but i remember there was some 4x4 mode where no one could outdamage healer's heals.

someone give me the tldr

>>713167580
Blizztroon living under a rock, maybe engage with the world besides 20 hours of ffxiv seething a day

>>713167569
More importantly: if it's literally dead, why is there this incessant need to keep telling people it's dead?

>>713167641
that seems really pointless considering it's really unpopular lmao
and the "top" players are infested with wintraders too, there is always some drama about it

>>713166996
based, about time we got the 2nd 11 raid.

>>713167638
Yes. No aboriginal shit though please.

>>713167641
I don't know what they're planning to do with it, but it won't make a difference in EU and NA because the player pool is too small, but will probably help in JP since Crystal has way too wide of a skill gap between low credit and high credit.

Oh my science this is like the simpsons

>>713167525
>playing gachaslop
lol

>>713167638
If only.

>can not queue casual CC with a friend
Finally.

>>713165115 (OP)
apologises but won't do shit to fix it.

>Another CC map

Hoyo rapes blizztroon asshole

>>713167647

>>713167708
>>713167641
Someone on the dev team really loves small scale competitive PVP and has always given it far too much dev favors and unnecessary focus.

>>713166703

>>713167641
Doesnt change anything. My bot will continue as before.

>>713167794
troonyo lmfao

>>713167660
we have nothing else to do in this dead game, let us shitpost in peace, it's one of the rare convivial moments that allow us shitposters to gather again

>>713167647
Naoki Yoshida is being exposed as a hack fraud for the 24th month in a row.

>>713166159
It's everything, there's a myriad of issues the game is suffering from at the moment. Wuk is just the focal point that personifies how badly the game is being handled because she's an obnoxious character. Evey langauge hates her regardless of the voice acting, EN is just so egregious because she's voiced by a nepo hire activist that's genuinely toxic. How Kate still retains her position is baffling.

Rest in Piss

>new relic step
Holy shit please tie it to a random drop from FT, the fallout in the community would be SO good.

>>713167006
lol I knew this
Yoshida lied, again
Expansion with the most content ever sure sure hypebros
Remember 150% more rewards? Ahahahaha
Fuck this shit

>>713167845
>"its dead it's dead it's dead it's dead for sure look

since when is it the doomers that should be coping

>>713166051
>wukkie in background
LMAO, imagine if they're hiding the recasting of her and koana after those strike shinnanigans too.

>Same shit again
Jeah its so over

DEEP DUNGEON BROS WE'RE SO BACK

>>713167641
the new tiers don't really change anything. People still mainly engage with it for the rewards and the competitive part really lasts like the first 2 weeks of a patch.

Crystalline Conflict and the new job designs are very different from the old Feast and job design back then. Healers don't really function like that anymore and every job is unironically much more interesting mechanically than and with more unique skills than it's pve counterpart.

>>713167845
>we
KWAB

>>713167527
That's been the issue since ARR days. The content has always been "wide as a lake, deep as a puddle."

>>713167860
So he still makes you play his games and read everything about him? Sounds based

>>713167937
Best content in XIV
all FOR FREE

>>713166159
Garbage expansion launch MSQ soured people on the whole expansion. The game is stuck circling the drain for the remaining expansion while devs put out updates according to the usual schedule which is simply insufficient this time.

Is Square Enix dead yet, Barry?

I am aware that you enjoy wasting your life away with shitposting about Yoshi-P and SE all day, but I don't think it is having the effect that you desire.

>>713167880
Oh my science that’s just like the simpsons

>explaining what a Deep Dungeon
>despite getting one last expac
Enough

>>713167937
I hope this is a good one.
But also I hope they make this one enterable without PoTD.

Is there literallly any point to cosmic exploration rankings? Ishgard had the titles but cosmic exploration didn't even have the holograms they talked about at launch I think your sever had to finish the base completely for them to even show up

please don't be shit like orthos please don't be shit like orthos please don't be shit like orthos please don't be shit like orthos please don't be shit like orthos

I don't engage with bad faith, shoo shoo niggerscum.

The point of shitposting and trolling is apathy, something zoomers and third worlders don’t seem to get. Obsessively stalking a topic makes you a deranged tranny, you are the one getting trolled.

>>713168118
what was wrong about orthros?
never get chance to play it, was busy with war whole endwalker

Sell sell sell!

>>713167329
This but unironically, me and my bro love CC and lack of duo queue is something we've complained about.

new deep dungeon looks nice

50,000 hoards achievement, please look forward to it

>>713168004
>>713167919
don't worry guys, you're right, the game is 100% fine right now, everything is perfect, everyone is happy, there are tons of meaningful stuff to do right now
OC (the content people has been waiting for 1.5 expac) is literally the perfect content ever made (fate: nothing is wrong, chest farming: nothing is wrong, FT: nothing is wrong) , with FT being so perfect there are only 400 clears
this game is so perfect that the number of people playing keep incre... oh wrong script sorry
spotted the cultists

>>713166159
The "story" MMO has had a story that's been rough for over a year now. The issues didn't start in Dawntrail, they started in Endwalker, got worse in post-Endwalker, and exponentially worse in Dawntrail. You can't have your bread and butter reason that people play your game over others be the lore and story and then fuck up the lore and story.

Have slides and pics been posted yet?

>>713168161
Did you remember this enemy's gimmick ability?
Yes? You win the fight and are in 0 danger!
No? You instantly die, good luck next attempt!

EVERY.SINGLE.ENEMY

Solo chads where we at? Glad to have another title to work towards, hope this DD isn't just "everything one shots you but is super easy if you know what's coming"

>>713168161
Orthos is just a knowledge check. A lot of enemies rely on gotcha and one shot mechanics, meaning it is frustrating to learn naturally and boring to run once you know everything.

Didn't ask for your constant daily yoshipp threads, faggot

BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO MAKE A NORMAL VERSION OF FT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME YOU SHITTY GOOKS

>>713165115 (OP)
I'm actually thankful that they kept most of DT's content locked behind MSQ because it filtered me so hard I haven't renew my sub in nearly a year (in 10 days it'll be a fully year).

>>713168383
Is that a Simpson’s reference

>>713168154
Damn so the stock was so valuable that a company invested heavily into it?
Neat.

>>713168336
It's prolly cause lvl 91 to 100
