Who the fuck asked for a 4man ultimate???

The two people that ruined Dawntrail:
The raider who became developer and wants nothing but savage/ultimate shit.
And the raid troon/content creator who sucks his dick.

DT is fucking over. Make fights FUN not difficult.

>>716322108 (OP)
They added a baby mode version for you, Timmy, you don't need to do it at 40 offerings.

>>716322336
Difficult fights are fun.

>>716322336
Holy fuck can Arthars please choke to death.

>>716322498
He already almost did choke on something to death

Summer 2027 for 8.0 is all but confirmed seeing how we still don't have Fanfests announced.
That's going to be a really painful content drought.

>inb4 40 offerings is unclearable as whm because you need shieldslop
People already hate me in forked tower because they say whm can't solo heal, I demand reparations.

So... the Deep Dungeon is the same shit as always with more checkpoints? And the only improvement is that they added a fucking optional ultimate to the end of it?

>>716322336
Considering the savage fights have been one of the few things that people have praised unanimously (see: M6S), it makes sense that they're catering to those people.

>>716322336
See this is why I pay attention to these retarded streamers even if I don't want to, because the devs listen to them and take their feedback on board so what a Stream retard like Arthars complains about, the devs listen to his feedback and implement features based on his feedback.
Not his alone they aggregate from other streamers but the raid troons are pretty much a hive mind.
Because they say things and complain constantly or flip flop based on what gets them views or is popular for them and not good for the game, the devs listening and taking feedback from these streamers is really has shown itself not to be a good thing.
Reminder that Chaotic exists as direct feedback and a request from Arthars who at the U.S. media tour asked YoshiP directly for a 24 man Savage, he also asked the same question to YoshiP at the London fanfest in 2023 and at the Chinese fanfest in July of 2024.
When it was released Mr.Ozma quote tweeted Arthars' comment about Chaotic about it being the most fun fight e.t.c.

>>716322108 (OP)
idk what the point of this mechanic is

15 offering will be extreme-tier

25 will be savage tier

full 40 is just a 4 man ultimate

just hardcode the 3 difficulties, there is no point to this granular illusion of choice pick your difficulty with extra steps

>>716322336
>Dropped worlo for fino fano back on early WoD because WoW was becoming more raid or die and XIV was relatively casual friendly.

Too bad that all the wow characters look fucking hideous and the armor and weapons both look like shit.

Raid shouldn't have strayed from Omega level difficulty.

>>716322108 (OP)
It's literally a difficulty that can be changed as much as you wish, it's optional to make it that hard. Can you guys even read?

>The game is struggling, let's appeal to another minority group.

>>716322108 (OP)
Why are they so hyper focussed on the bosses? Why not make engaging with the actual content, the 9 floors between the bosses any fun? Let people use phantom jobs or get random Foray skills or ANYTHING to break up the monotone combat? All of it, the entire game seems to exclusively exist to corral people into savage+ combat.

>>716322336
>ff14 isn't a raidnigger game.
>hahaha only wow devs listen to their raidniggers!! that why almost everything else suck aside from combat encounters
>okay...dawntrail might have been a mixed bag but the combat bro!

>okay....arthas and xenos might love this expansion...but the....ultimate fight bro!

>>716322108 (OP)
do you have to do 100 floors every 1 pull atempt lol?

I don't care about raid troonery, any news on my wife grabbing my cum chalice?

I already envision the melties people will have in the new DD with matched groups all the way to 100 and all the mouthbreathers stepping on luring traps on 90+ floors

>>716323221
God is real and making final fantasy 14 suffer for what they did to wow

Why is the PvP gear modern shit again?

>>716323320
the mobile game will have datable scions before pc

>>716323273
No. You can requeue as much you want and the tickets used don't go away until you clear. Again the misinformation regarding this game never ceases to amaze me.

>Do literally an optional boss that can be either super hard or super easy
>You are free to choose to whatever it is going to be easy or super hard
>Even with that choice people still think it's going to be hard mode only

>>716322336
The term is tigole.

>>716323115
This, I have no fucking idea why they're doing this. Raiders constitute such a small minority of the playerbase that they should be the absolutely last ones to be considered during content production and delivery. The playerbase already segregates itself heavily between those who raid and those that freeze up in fear if they have to tank a duty roulette and the former take painstaking measures to keep their exclusive club as small as possible by hiding resources that could be used to learn advanced job mechanics, current content relevant gearing guides and cutting edge strategies behind discord cult memberships and role-restricted server channels. And now the developers are only feeding deeper into it by producing content that only those kinds of people can approach almost exclusively.

>>716323440
so this is some weird df trial that only unlocks when clearing once?

>>716322758
DD is meant to be casual - midcore you dummy. Even Yoshida himself said back in 7.25 they made Fork tower too difficult and he apologised for not adding in a normal difficulty mode but the DD in 7.3 should cater to Casual players.

>>716323490
>Raiders constitute such a small minority of the playerbase that they should be the absolutely last ones to be considered during content production and delivery.
Nah my nigger. Imagine if the casuals keep leaving the game. Savage participation % will shoot up and then we have THE hardcore MMO only for real men and raiders™.

>>716323542
Yes you clear the boss at 100 floor and it unlocks this version that with the "offerings" can become super mega hard, aka ultimate level or super braindead easy. It's up to you and your group how to make it. Just reread the liveletter info and don't trust the shitposters around here.

>>716323615
You know, seeing how fucking incompetent SE might be, it's possible that this is the plan to show "growth" to the investors.

>>716323358

I mean it is a strategy and I can see what Yoshida is doing here, trying to balance out the game's audience not being reliant on only the MSQ, but 6 expansions in it might be too late to pivot into making FF14 known for it's fun gameplay for casuals. They can try but I would bet against the game if I had to put money on this.
My solution would be to fix the story AND this new strategy, so you please the audience who cared about the story while nudging them towards retention for the game in casual gameplay.

https://x.com/parkthebus8989/status/1948410657604350452

>>716324465
"It's too late to try" is never a good argument. Look at Runescape 3, which is downscaling its microtransactions after so long. Poison and bad practices can be excised if developers have the willpower to turn away from easy answers and cater to the people that actually care about the game.

>>716324563
didn't orthos die because people didn't like how hard it was?

>>716324663
It wasn't hard, it was time consuming. Everything took forever to take down.

>>716324663
Solo oriented, bullshit mechanics like Twintania clone's oneshot that has no telegraphing, bad rewards.

>>716324620
Different games, they attracted different audiences and the players wanted different things.
Gameplay elements and microtransactions are a different beast to an audience who are invested for narrative and story.
Story enjoyers are not necessarily going to play a game solely for gameplay with no story, they want to get invested in a game world, in characters, in lore e.t.c. they might do gameplay content if it compliments the story, for example I loved Pand raid because to me it was complimentary to EW's MSQ and felt like an Epilogue, I did BA because I wanted more lore on Krile, her Grandfather and the students of Baldesion.
Story is a strong motivator for a Casual player to push them into content they would ordinarily have no interest in doing, so it matters a lot more than people think it does.

HULKAMANIACS...

>>716324762
I'd rather have them go back and do FT normal instead of a completely optional variable difficulty setting for a fucking deep dungeon's end-boss

It blows my mind how you fags will not understand that tab target mmos are just not run.

>>716324663
It had dumb oneshots and the enemies early on were damage sponges.

>>716324620

>>716324865
You can have both a good story and engaging battle content.
>>716324938
>Raiders will play the game even during rough patch cycles because they enjoy the act of playing the game
So what you're saying is that catering to people who consistently keep playing your subscription MMO is the right choice.

>>716324762
Why can't Hardcore content have content that caters to Casuals in the middle of it?

>>716324762
Well when you don't include a normal mode of the capstone of the exploration content people have waited 5 years for, there is gonna be complaints about raidfags getting catered to all the time.

>>716324957
up to this day no one could explain to my why adding adds to a savage is such a huge deal

Legitimately just shitposters looking for attention

If Sphene goes then I go

>>716324795
Sounds good to me, Criterion had kino mechanics

>>716325023
Because they keep listening to the wrong people.

>>716324795
Yes. But the reward system is even worse since pumping the difficulty up gives you the same rewards, just more of them.

just want to point out that Shale is not present anywhere in the trailer

also, do you think Kamlanaut and Ealdnarche are part of the same encounter?

>>716325023
No you see the raidfags who didn't even keep this content alive need this or else they'll stop playing. It's fine if everyone else stops playing

>>716322336
It's interesting because I actually felt like, despite the expansion being shit, the boss fights this time in the base expansion were genuinely great. Valigarmanda for example was fun and dynamic, requiring you to pay attention to more than just floor circles without being overly hard.

I don't really understand what happened because this expansion was the first time I really felt like content was reaching a good balance between hardcore and casual.

>>716325130
It's not a big deal in other MMOs, but XIV raids have been mostly solo boss oriented, with any add phases being trivial and lasting 30 seconds at most. M6S's add phase is about 2 and a half minutes long with multiple types of adds with different mechanics that walled people for days because it was a type of encounter the community hadn't seen since Heavensward.

>>716322108 (OP)
>ruin DD with ultislop
>no longer about endurance, kiting, quick decision making
It's actually so much worse than i thought it could be. Yoshida is speedrunning to Bungie-tier quality and obsession with watchable content

>>716325116
catering to a few 100 hardcore raiders at most is not the right choice to keep your MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER online role playing game alive

>>716324795
Yes, and it's going to be as dead as Criterion within a week or two, especially since you have to beat the DD to even do it in the first place, and you need to farm up offerings again after every time you clear.

>>716324271

valigarmanda is one of the best EX trials in the game for mountain fire

i'm gonna do the dungeon and get the title :)

>>716325395
Where did you get those numbers, anon?

easiest tank?
easiest range/caster dps?
easiest healer?

>>716325348
Vali was great. Incidentally, Ozma said he doesn't like that once because it was too easy and not satisfying to clear. The other Ex fights were all puzzle slop.

Valigarmanda is an exception to the rule. He is one of the best fights in the game for actually feeling like a video game boss fight with visual tells and body language instead of indicators and a "dance". We're never getting anything like him again, the hardcores only like the latter.

we're getting criterion in 7.4

>>716324018
But DD was already perfectly fine casual content? The reason it was not ran as much is that climbing the floors is pretty boring, but instead of improving the gameplay with cool shit they just focus on boss fights.

>>716325659
Exactly, but Casual content has to cater to hardcore with this DD.

So another patch with no content.
Why are you fags even playing this slop?

>>716322108 (OP)
Isn't this variable 4 man content people have been asking for? Does Mythic+20 mean Mythic+2 doesn't exist?
I like that they're testing this in a controlled environment most people probably don't care about like a DD boss.
I'd like them to continue this and add it to regular dungeons and criterion. Just axe the savage version.

>best content about all 7.3 is deep dungeon
I might actually skip this patch after being done with the MSQ

Can someone post the new PvP gear?

>how do do we fix the current state if the game
>add a savage/ultimate version to everything

Is this the right choice?

>>716325794
Yeah. You can make the boss as hard as you want.
But apparently this is a problem because we need something to bitch about.

>>716326000
I don't think they showed the actual PvP series armor but they showed some more Solution Nine styled casual urban-wear for the trophy crystal/token class sets

>New DD seems like a basic DD with QoL and accessibility improvements, but the capstone content has a difficulty slider that ends at ultimate tier, so it's bad content
Is this the jist of the complaint?

>>716326291
No

>>716326332
Care to explain what the actual complaint is?

>>716322434
Difficult fights can be fun solo, if your progress is impeded because of the people you're playing with, then it's not fun.

>>716325665
Anon he was fucking 71 and was on steroids for fucking years, it’s honestly amazing he lasted this long

>we are short on time, staff and resources

Okay, priorities understood!

>>716326448
There's none, the retards in here think that there's no difficulty slider at all and it's just ultimate difficulty.

>>716325350
>People complain they recycle mechanics
>Add new mechanics
>People complain they're too hard
Player base is retarded to the point they can't even comprehend a simple priority system of targeting or understanding when to aoe or not to AoE.
On top of tanks being too stupid to use CDs properly and healers being too stupid to use GCD heals on early weeks. I hope they do something similar next tier.

>>716322108 (OP)
Yeah bros I don't know about FFXIV anymore...

>>716322826
The point is buffing specific parts you can deal with and keeping other parts low
If for example you want to solo as a dps you could keep the hp and physical attack low while keeping the magic high because you know you can do mechanics

>>716326504
It was legitimately fun as hell to do week 1 as a tank, my CDs were stretched so thin and we were trying to figure out the best way to do DPS for hours.

>>716325198
it was fucking retarded that there was no quest clear cutscene even in the savage version

>>716326291
No it's people who can't read or won't read that believe Ultimate is the sole difficulty of the DD's endboss

>>716326453
Just play with better people.

Damn...

>>716325023
>meanwhile people in ffxi are still doing 15 year old content
Perhaps this is a problem with the mechanics of game progression rather than a problem with accessibility of mid-level content. Surely the same people who made both ffxi and ffxiv could figure this problem out

No that's not it.

>>716326648

This static, spreaksheeting style of content just isn't for me, it sounds horrid to me. The first Ex was perfectly fine to me, I wish they would do more like that instead of making fights riddles you have to solve.

no malmstone gear yet though (I think)

Anyone know how much gil a Rank 30 FC with large house and 4 submarines leveled to 100-120 would be worth?

>>716326291
Yeah, some fag is trying really had to swing it as a con and trying to pretend this means that the new DD is going to be hardcore ballbust slop when it's actually going to be the easiest DD.

>>716324412
hello faggot, make yourself useful and tell Pet Crab I said hi

>>716326784
It isn't static when you're learning it.

>>716326601
there is no shot you can actually get anything worthwhile solo, assuming you can even do it. there's probably going to be towers and stacks and even if it didn't, solo is a nerfed encounter so they won't give you any rewards for doing it like that

Actually more stoked for the new patch than expected. Figured it'd be kind of a sleeper patch. And sure it's not the biggest content drop, but the new thing they're trying (+ deep dungeons being more approachable in random groups) and challenge log additions and all that are all very neat.

>>716326784
It's not really a riddle if you know how your class works. Higher end groups were killing it fairly unlike shit like P8S where it was legitimately a retarded puzzle

What is her problem?

>>716327326
How did they manage to make her look worse than player hroth models?

so they added more respawn points for deep dungeon. do those apply for solo runs?

>>716327326
She's attacking the Wol for taking Sphene away from her.

>>716326718
The problem is unless you're playing at the beginning of a patch when all the content is new, all of the good players have statics or are in PFs that require you to have finished the fight before to actually join.
Those who decide to try out a fight mid patch have to get lucky or are screwed unless they join a static that's willing to carry (even if you're not actually looking to be carried) someone through the fight.

>Same day as WoW
>Getting content-mogged this hard

>>716327431
Hroths fundamentally weren't designed to look threatening, and among Hroths Wuk is just a wholesome chungus.

>>716327502
>so they added more respawn points for deep dungeon.
Yep.
>do those apply for solo runs?
tl;dr we don't know. Hopefully. If it is, then I imagine it'll disqualify someone from the achievement and title if they respawn.

It's basically as streamlined as can be now and is as much an action RPG as 14 is. You do a tutorial zone then choose an expansion zone to power level to cap with before engaging with the current expac stuff. Although all of the content from older expacs (dungeons,raids etc) are basically completely deprecated now other than for mount farming unlike 14 which still has you engage with all the old stuff when you start from scratch

>>716327665
I mean it's a big nothing burger really and you'd know that if you played WoW. Basically just their new raid tier and a single new dungeon and another single big empty zone to run around in that will be irrelevant next patch.

>>716327665

>>716328403
One of my favorite types of MMO thread crash-out is "this patch has so much more in it than FFXIV's entire numbered patch series" and then it's a FFXIV base patch at best, not even base patch + X.X1 or X.X5.

Ladies, please, both of your once great games are terrible.

how about instead of making your open zone aliance raid ultra sweaty and inaccesible you make it normal qeue more for EVERYONE to enjoy

how about instead of making some tryhard shit that only a few people will grind 100 floors for you just make one more ex trial that EVERYONE can easily access and enjoy.

this shit theyre doing now is what killed wildstar

>>716328506
That's because WoW does this thing where it pads out one piece of content with 100 different things that usually equate to run around in this zone and do dailies. It's just padding for what is essentially a single piece of content but to be fair so is shit like listing unreals and manderville quests as new content. The last Manderville quest they propped up as new content was literally a single fucking cutscene.

>>716328773

>>716328846
We won't get a new frontlines map until maybe the middle of next expac if we are lucky

>>716322336
I really hope the casual playerbase will just quit because the devs only release boring content for them
some HC players tend to be on a high horse and act like they're the sole reason the game is still going

>>716328889
Yeah the whole "drag a patch out" thing isn't unique to FFXIV or even to WoW, it always confuses me whenever I see somebody act like that's a new thing or it's something XIV shouldn't be doing in the game's threads.
>they're dragging it out AGAIN
No shit, they've done it for a decade and so has every other MMO ever. Post-COVID suddenly nobody is familiar with patch lulls or metered patch content anymore, or they pretend they are and act like it's something they shouldn't be doing and only XIV does.

>>716328846
Not until they fix Astragalos

>>716328970
Seal Rock is Seize. Unless you mean Secure, which is fine after it's revamp.

>>716329050
they'd rather rework shitter for the 16th time before they let us play Astralagos again

>>716327665
Is this not a complete rehash of Argus?

>the bcnm battle theme

reminds me of the days where i burnt all my seals on the mimic bcnm

>>716329196
Argus unironically had more work put into it.
This is 3 random floating rocks with Shadowlands assets thrown on them and a spooky skybox.
Delve is literally just in a Dragonflight instance reused. Tazavesh is a Shadowlands dungeon they already broughgt back for m+ before. Reshi wraps is just the new (forced) legendary that everyone needs to use to be able to do the raid. Eco-Dome is just a dungeon.

>>716328641
That's just the reality of themepark MMOs, anon. If you want the experience of doing it new, you do it new. Don't think of playing late as bothering your FC, either, most people are happy to help new people.

>>716329041
I think FFXIV has a bigger incentive to be reusing content that they don't use because they just copy WoW who throws away old content. Imagine if the moogle tome shit was more in-depth and required you to sync older raids with bigger rewards.

WoW has time-walking but it's essentially just go in and faceroll an old raid/dungeon and get murdered instantly sometimes because somethings broken but for the most part they throw away all the content they make to copy paste giant areas to do dailies in.

>>716329041
>Post-COVID suddenly nobody is familiar with patch lulls or metered patch content anymore, or they pretend they are and act like it's something they shouldn't be doing and only XIV does.
I've gotten this feeling too. It's bizarre.

did they say anything about de-homogenising jobs or is it just another patch of content that doesn't matter since the stuff you do the content with is boring

>>716329467
They mentioned 8.0 job reworks or job focus on a similar par to their unfucking of raid design pretty consistently during 7.0 and 7.1 and then put a rest to it because there's four more patches before they start worrying about it again. If we hear from it between now and Fan Festival it'll probably just be "yeah yeah don't worry that's still on the radar" during a future Live Letter. One of those early mentions of the job reworks was Eksu Plosion and others claiming job reworks were being shuttled up to 7.1 which wasn't the case, they based it on a mistranslated interview.

>>716329467
jobs will always be homogenized because shitposters will continue to obfsucate the definition of homogenization

>>716329430
I honestly find it dumb that they don't reuse more. They have so much one time use shit. So many wasted assets on something that you do once for less than an hour and then never again. They could absolutely throw something together with assets they already have.

>>716329467
they wont do shit to jobs until 8.0 at best and who knows what their understanding of de-homofagging jobs is, could just be more braindead but slightly more unique than now
new patch is just another patch of slop, Deep Dungeon was always boring but retards act like it's good content
got all three down solo, it's shit

>>716329604
They say that every expansion. They lobotomized healers in Stormblood as a "temporary" fix and keep saying to not worry they'll fix them next expansion and did the same thing this expac.

>>716329627
Memory Dungeon

eto.... we just didnt have much else to put...

>>716329627
I think WoW just has a lot of problems that it's harder to implement because even timewalking is bugged out of the ass but FFXIV already has a very functional syncing system.

>>716329751
No they don't in fact promise special attention on job design every expansion. They also didn't lobotomize healers in Stormblood, White Mage simply got the shit end of the stick and Scholar suffered as a result of killing cross-class (Scholar being the main beneficiary of the system among the three healers). You're thinking of Shadowbringers where Scholar was lobotomized by completely divorcing it from Arcanist and where Astrologian essentially lost its job identity because a dedicated buffer means it's a hard pick every single time.

>>716329871
I wish the synching system let you keep your abilities.

>>716324018
Why is he like that?

>actually beating Tifa and Cloud
Jesus fuck Yoshida that is DESPITE your best efforts to push her into the background. Do something with a character people clearly like.
Also add Sphene as permanent Scion.

>>716329041
>>716329454
It's because gacha updating cadences.

>>716329902
I miss SB/HW SCH

>>716329902
I'm talking about removing multiple dots from all the healers and shoving more ogcd heals into them while removing cleric stance.
Healers get more lobotomized every patch because they don't know what the fuck to do with them to the point they tried to seperate them into regen/shield and that doesn't even work because people just run double shield.

>>716330054
i scoured the trailer. Sphene is wielding a book but i didn't see any pets

Scion dating when? Especially Y'shtola.

>>716329982
Same. But I don't see how.
DPS abils? Maybe.
But now think about mits and healer abilities.
If a level 20 sprout healer can only do basic healing but your downscaled lvl 100 SGE could use their entire array of oGCDs, even if their strength is adjusted, I feel it'd create a lot of disparity?

>>716329982
They probably don't do that because it would be a balancing nightmare for a syncing system that already heavily favors player-power over "content as it was designed". Somebody syncing down and having their full kit would objectively be more powerful than somebody at the intended level range doing it, even without considering sync allowing for the highest possible item-level in an instance. Syncing down with full kit would make you stronger in, say, a Shadowbringers dungeon (level 80) than somebody actually at level 80 and walking in with full augmented Cryptlurker's gear, even with item sync dragging the higher level player down to the 80 level player's.

>>716328891
They can't be this retarded... right?

>>716330169
This except Wuk Lumat crashes every date

>>716329871
WoW has a ton of wild mechanics, I bet you can still use this baby to cheese stuff.
Back in the day you could find a level 1 critter, do your entire opener on it since the damage was getting stored inside the effect and also since the critter is level 1 your damage was increased by a million %, and then explode the trinket on any mob in the game or any player and oneshot it.

>>716328629
That's pure soul, though. Thousand times better than 'elf, but purple'

>>716330225
What we need is for them to really stop adding new levels and abils after DT. Stick to 100 as a cap, then they can redistribute all the abilities that exist already because they won't need to redo it the next expansion.
That way they can give some stuff to players earlier and make the early experience less jarring.

>>716330263
trinkets like that tend to not work at or near level cap

I wonder how much coding work these people actually do in a day

>>716330284
big voidwalker and elf but purple are both dogshit
old gods were undeniably >>>>>> both of those. what a soulless gay downgrade

>>716330225
It's already broken because they rebalanced potencies, just let people play the classes the way they were reworked into it's not a big deal if it makes the easy old content easier but people enjoy doing it more. I just want better incentives to be doing it.

As an idort who plays wow and xiv if you give a shit about a consistent release schedule with variety blizzard basically always has square mogged to an embarassing degree

the extent of how everything in warcraft is basically evergreen is a testament to it's longevity - regardless if you give a fuck about the story or raid slop content or not, it feels like an actual video game. you are allowed to not want theme park mario party content at all times but it's important to keep people interested in some tangible way. even when wow is rehashing the same dungeons for the 50th time they still try to change them in little bits to keep it interesting. xiv would quite literally never break this mold ever because they are so afraid of 1.0 it basically has them whipped. and this is coming from someone who last played wow in legion, played years upon years of xiv in stormblood doing every single bit of content imaginable and only play wow recently because i was legitimately so bored of dawntrail and the end of endwalker patches

>story in wow
nobody cares
>class design
arguable slop but it has a healthy balance between optimization and difficulty as hard as you want it to be, they literally put a one button rotation for the babies like how people use slothcombo and bossmod to cheat theirs too
>random side shit like pet battles, cosmetic grinding, the whole mountsmogcheevo meme
literally no reason why xiv can't copy this. it is only the square enix stifling of some abstract combination of budget, incompetence, or lack of manpower in all their infinite money to work with on their golden goose

xiv more than anything refuses to buck the mold. i think the real reason why wow sticks in the cultural zeitgeist for so long is variety, experimentation, trying shit that will probably be panned as it always does but ANYTHING is better than what square does in my opinion. i will still play both (wow probably a bit less) religiously but xiv as a whole just needs something more

>>716330658
who is chanting the boss' name?

you can answer this question in 14, but can't in wow. therefore its off

>literally no reason why xiv can't copy this. it is only the square enix stifling of some abstract combination of budget, incompetence, or lack of manpower in all their infinite money to work with on their golden goose
Reason is that the entire dev team that is left is raiders. They don't know any other content and they don't care about anything else. So that is all they put out, shitty jump rope fights.

>>716330836
pretentious as fuck xister

>>716330778
What do you want in the game? Just gear? To do what exactly with?
Most shit is synced so anyone who opens the game and gets to 100 can easily run it. The only exception is raids and ultimates and only one of those you even need the gear to do.

>>716331151
It's the reason why the wow dev team stopped giving a fuck about pvp minigames and arena as a whole
Hypercasuals can still interface with lfr and get a shitton of gear that changes their gameplay with tier sets and shit, the idea of gear doing anything past 'number go up' is always a good thing. even if it's something retarded like your nut blaster sometimes does 10% more damage or you a cumblast proc after 3 spells it's variety still

it's why i'm always surprised they pander to dd so hard with how hard the endwalker one fell off but I can appreciate more il mheg lore

>>716331297
I just want some RPG elements in the final fantasy game. Literally a sword that auto attacks twice for 100 floors and then ultimate level boss fight would be nice.

>>716331349
You should've realized that when they removed accuracy to add crit 2.
On the bright side it also does new mechanics with more buffs so maybe maxxing out fire damage just means the boss does more fire based mechanics and if you hate those you don't max it out.

>>716322108 (OP)
People who "play" MMOs are fucking insane.
The gameplay is shallow and designed to waste your time. XIV boss design is trial and error. It's not engaging.

>>716331651
The role-playing hobby that we can do in FFXIV and role-playing through a roleplaying game are DIFFERENT things.
Mechanically, we don't get to do anything even remotely close to an RPG other than choosing the job we are currently playing.
This has always been the case with the game, except were actually different back then compared to now.
If Mounts had actual properties such as being able to traverse specific types of terrains or some of them being able to be used in dungeons specifically or only some being able to fly. The mounts are an RPG mechanic. But they don't, so they aren't.
Even if I were to say that you can weave in RP(the hobby) with this game, I'd still say that only outfits serves this purpose because we don't have sandbox that allows us to visually use the tools we have.
Don't be retarded please.

Not every role playing game has to be about making number go up. It can just be collecting shit which ultimately is another form of number go up just one you don't appreciate.

I can sync a raid in 14 I can't do that in WoW. People in PF are syncing raids, no one does it in WoW because you can just go solo one shot them and collect all the loot. WoW also locks you out of doing the raid because they straight up never unlock there's always a weekly timer. If you want to farm one item it's locked forever so you can only do it once a week. It's trash content they threw away and didn't even bother smelling if it was sour or not. Some of them are completely broken to the point they can't even be done anymore.

The only good tuing about DT is that so many people quite that I might be able to get a house.

how is that by definition not evergreen
you can pop in at the level with the hilariously fast leveling and even handicap your gear if you want to and do the bosses normally
is it as good as xiv's? hell no it isn't but you sure as shit can't do that with savage or criterion or magically getting 48 people for chaotic in an expansion i hope you like discord trannies and somehow getting the 10+ clears you need to have everything. practically everything in xiv nowadays feels like fomo by mistake because the interest dies out truly that quick. look how fucking empty the moon is. endwalker eureka is basically only done by solo fans. same shit for heaven on high. palace. it always ends up like this you cannot solo a savage fight. the odds of you finding someone who is interested in helping you clear an ancient savage that has body checks, that you probably can't skip sometimes, are infinitismally lower than you think it is. and content that DOES release on patch always falls off for some reason because of the hypercasual playerbase that refuses to interface with anything that isn't mogstation slop, clubs, or their hands held through the whole thing
>>716332314
every single wow player that cares about wow has never sung the good graces of the story. at most they'll say it was okay in mop and died in wrath. as someone who is seriously masochistic dragonflight had all the trappings of safe sanitized zoomer writing as i expected it would have and also in turn stopped giving a fuck with whatever tww had. it was pretty funny seeing them rape whatever was left of trollbane too just to give faerin some relevance. they really do just expect you to read the books to truly care. your complaint isnt necessarily wrong and I actually agree with it but wow is like 20+ years old there was no way to push new people to give a fuck without making them sit through hours and hours of awful godawful storytelling that dawntrail wishes it had

Trannies are in every game now, it's an inescapable fact of life that they play them purely to spite people like you and me despite all the abuse, so having them clearly marked and in the open is the best case scenario.

that is because wow is just a better "game". Why did ff14 get popular? The story. Not the game, not the gameplay, but the writing.

The fact that XIVtroons are threatened by a 20 year old java game is sad.

>>716333064
sure sis

I guess I will resub at 7.55, there is no content for me that justifies an entire month

>>716332791
>how is that by definition not evergreen
Locking raids you go faceroll with no ability to do them normally without leveling a whole new character and level locking them behind a weekly instance counter is not "evergreen"
You can find places to do all the old content with in FFXIV.
Also WoW's community of furries and trannies is worse because the game is fucking unmoderated so the chat just devolves into a fucking cesspool of political shit flinging.

>>716327326
>"I PROMISED..."
The voice legit made me think it was someone else talking in that moment (my brain even thought it was Calyx getting angry for some reason). Then the camera shifted to Wuk and she continued the sentence, but damn, that first second was jarring as fuck.

>>716332435
>Not every role playing game has to be about making number go up.
You are so ignorant is it quite staggering. This IS what Final Fantasy XIV is about, quite literally, making numbers go up while on a timegate. Numbers that result on absolutely nothing.
This is my problem with this stupid retarded game and (you) stupid cunt.
In RPGs, the idea of loot or gear serves a dual purpose. It's a simple way to explore the mechanics the devs have painstakingly created for us (assuming those exist, which they don't in XIV) and to limit the pool of available things a player has available to do on an even playing field.
It is NOT fit for an RPG because Final Fantasy XIV kept the retarded mind numbing boring gameplay and grind WITHOUT the actual pay off that RPG progression offers.
In other words kill yourself and go play idle games retard.

>>716325348
>I don't really understand what happened
People are over the stale content cycle, same ShB-era fight design, and jobs feeling like glorified glamour at this point, it's why most of the people quitting are what I'd consider the old guard (ARR/HW-era players, soon to become SB players). These players are by far the most vocal of the community as they're truly, deeply passionate for the game, which is part of the reason why the doom-posting surrounding Dawntrail has gone on for so long (and will likely continue).

XIV's problems are systemic, they've been systemic since the very beginning of ARR, and we're finally seeing the results of almost a decade of negligence as everything comes to a head. They have one chance to really revitalize the game before what is currently a trickle turns into a bloodbath and it's basically hinging on the job rework and whether they change up the content they're offering from launch to the end of next expansion. If they manage to stick one and not the other, the trickling will continue, but they'll likely be saved from a total bloodbath.

Dude you're literally complaining about wanting a sword that attacks twice. Like idk dude just play a different game if it upsets you that a sword that attacks two times isn't in the game you retard. Maybe consider FFXI? It has a Kraken club that attacks 8 times WAAOOOOOW and it even interacts with the tp system instead of just 2 numbers appearing on your screen resulting in you seeing 2 numbers appear on your screen.

>>716332527
It's not chained to the PS3 anymore, the real problem is they built ARR in less than 2 years after 1.0 flopped, and while they made something good considering the time it took, its flaws from being rushed are continually becoming more apparent. There's no easy solution, they have to make a new engine and port everything over or we'll just have to accept it'll never get any better

You didn't prog the fight and it shows.
People had to datamine that a pheonix buff was in the game because combining shit into primals typically killed you except that one combination. And even with the datamining it took people 100+ hours of running into a literal wall where the boss kills you at 40% hp to figure that out.

>>716332590

>>716333620
Thank fucking God they didn't listen to people that want MMOs to go AAA. Pumping more money in it is stupid

>>716325348
Basically this >>716333251
All the systemic problems of the game were somewhat mitigated by a decent MSQ. Covid and the WoW exodus brought in a lot of players who only cared about the characters, the plot, and the glamours. The devs used this to their own advantage and rode the hype of a ten years saga finding its conclusion, but then allowed an inexperienced writer and a shitty new localization lead to work on the new expansion. The story was shit, the characters were terrible, the pacing odd, the voice acting incredibly subpar compared to the past, and the players previously won over suddenly realized the game is actually filled with those systemic problems mentioned above.

What? The budget for FFXIV has always been notoriously bad, so much it's one of the reasons why it's still so formulaic and devoid of any real evolution. Every time an expansion struck gold (HW, ShB, and EW), SE forced the members of its team to work on other projects, hoping to see the miracle replicated: it's what happened to Ishikawa (lauded as ShB and EW savior and now working almost full time on either the new FF or KH), to Koji-Fox, and to some expert battle designers.

>>716334224
Did you know it wasn't changing direction anon? Could you have predicted that the game wouldn't change this way?

For me, as expansions rolled in, I kept telling myself: "Alright, I'll trust Yoshida and his team." Much like many here and did and still do. You are probably smarter than me in this regard because I didn't really see through all the lies until Shadowbringers.
But in my mind I kept telling myself the simplification and homogenization was a step in the plan to properly expand the game in to an RPG later. Because it makes more sense to start from a clean slate. Yoshida kept saying that they were doing all of this homogenization for the future, so that when there are more jobs and more content there is still a good foundation.
Of course turns out I'm the retarded Yoshit piss cultist all along, and now I'm mad. And I won't be happy until Naoki Yoshida is fired. I don't care if the game dies or not I just want that lying rat outed for being the cancer that killed a game with great potential and Final Fantasy in general.

Too bad no MMP fight is difficult. It's all Simon Says bullshit that lacks any depth or nuance. Maybe IF MMO's played like old action or arcade games, they'd have actual difficulty to them.

environments like these make me sad we don't get huge graphical overhauls where the zones are basically rebuilt from scratch with new assets. I know that's impossible, but man, would some of the existing areas in the game look good with new assets and textures.

Why is he folder dumping again?

>>716334770
They literally said in Heavensward like the director walked onto the stage at a fanfest and said
"We will never have diverse and branching jobs because it's too hard to balance"
They blame the player base for not bringing jobs that suck. Don't want to bring a Paladin because they suck vs magic damage? That's on you not us for making the raid all magic damage.
Play another game instead of seething about one that's obviously and directly not going to change in the direction you want.

Just examples of items that you can find in RPGs.
SOMETHING that isn't just some cosmetic/visual garbage.

To be fair, the rework isn't "done" yet. They said multiple times before DT released that the graphical overhaul would come in stages with the first one being focused on player characters, recurring NPCs, general textures that are used everywhere in the game and lighting. Stuff like new models and more specific texture overhauls are going to be released over a muuuuch longer timeline, like once or twice per new expansion release they might go back and rework old stuff with the oldest being done first.

>>716336214
They don't need to so they don't have to. Blizzard does it to try to beat the 800 allegations and scandals. Instead of focusing on Grummz stealing breast milk from the office and the cosby hotel room people now just look at all the annoying DEI rainbow shit and stories about captain gay having a boyfriend and that's the whole story.

When's the patch release date? I was too busy playing For Honor to watch the live letter.

>>716336489

>>716336443
>To be fair, the rework isn't "done" yet.
You're right, and I do expect them to do more to all the zones except maybe the ARR ones.
But I don't think they're going to fundamentally change much on the geometry level to make it nearly as detailed as in the screenshot I posted.
They'll mostly just apply uprezzed textures of that which already existed over the old models, change the shaders, etc. With Island Sanctuary, we saw that they can do really good mountains, and the first boss arena in San D'oria also shows as much. But I don't expect them to go back and add that kind of stuff to, say, Heavensward zones. The zones will be updated, yes, but I figure it's within reason.

Anon, I was asking about your example so I could get a better understanding of what you were wanting. I agree with you that having equipment that modifies abilities or how a class plays in some way would be neat, even more so when it's role specific.
Who knows, maybe we'll see something like that in 8.0. It'd finally introduce some kind of horizontal progression and an alternate to leveling, since they don't want to raise the level cap past 100.

>>716323217
Ok you faggots just didn’t watch this shit

Unironically fix FT. Not having that fucks the entire zone up.

Sphene!

In theory, Quantum could be one of the most interesting pieces of content in the entire game, it could cater to anyone who's even remotely itnerested in endgame combat (so most of the players)

The fact that not just the stats but the mechanics ramp up the more Offerings you give means that players will self-select who will play with who - people who don't wanna do the 40/40 offerings and just do the easier 15/40 will do it, and vice-versa, it's quite literally the most Midcore content ever.

>>716337557
nah i don't play deep dungeons for mini ultimates

>>716337541
Yep we like this. It's raping time.

You faggots also called "Chaotic" super exciting and claimed it would solve all the problems of the game. I really fail to see why I should be hyped for a single 4 man fight that will release 2 months after the patch rolls out.

But Chaotic was good.
It just
A) Had a stupid fuckign release date (REALLY, ON FUCKING CHRISTMAS EVE????)
B) Came way too late into the patch
C) There should have been a Chaotic every patch with BiS included.

On a base level, it worked, it just needed a few tweaks and just...having more of it.

>>716337656
I don't think anybody but Arthars said that and he begs for hard shit constantly so he has another month of stream material

>more modern glams
b-based?

>>716337656
because its the devs trying new things that could be really good and change up how content is made, Chaotic was a good addition that just suffered from being overtuned but also people expecting it to be super easy.
Devs doing new stuff to shake things up should be encouraged and even if it doesn't turn out great they have at least tried something and can learn from it, the game really needs this, and this offering system is great because in theory it could mean more people can jump into it because they can tailor made it for what they want, some might to do it with less mechanics and some might want more mechanics but less damage to pratice and slowly work their way up to the final difficulty its an unironically great idea.

On paper it worked, on execution it was a massive flop because TRUSTING 24 PLAYERS ON BODY CHECKS IS SUPER RETARDED THATS WHY ITS DEAD CONTENT AFTER ONE WEEK. NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS

>>716337963
don't forget the phoenix down changes that will really make it more forgiving.

>>716337656
i was thinking it was going to allow the best players to carry people through content and allow mercing to be a way to make cash

I'd be more excited if they shook up the DD part and introduced random skills/logo/elixirs to make each run stand out more, instead of just... putting all the effort in the final fight.

>>716338034
One res every 6 minutes is more a safety net than a gamechanger imo

>>716337302
bro I have something so exciting to tell you
on 7.3 patch day you're getting a whole new alliance raid
everything you wanted

>>716337936
>>716337992
Still played more than Criterion lol

GOD PLEASE FIX CRITERION NEXT PATCH PLEASE FUCKING GOD IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD

>>716337342
Counterpoint: you should be able to select all that without the offering currency. DD arent supposed to be about ultislop anyways, ultimate raiders arent going to grind currency every time they want to prog, DD fans dont care about super savage version of final boss. This is going to please nobody

>>716337738
God save her

>>716338132
oh boy an alliance raid with a WEEKLY lockout!! Yaaaas!!! I love this!!

>>716338132
funny thing is 24 mans are what the midcore audience claim to want

>>716324271
S

>>716337342
I'll tell you where it will probably fall short.
No meaningful distinction in the type of reward between 15 offerings and 40, only the quantity, and a title, meaning people won't bother with it

>>716338071
>putting all the effort in the final fight
sorry gaijin san, all we can do is more savage fight. please do savage fight so good yes. study at home mr brappy guide then find discord group to do savage fight

>It's been SEVEN (7) months since the first Chaotic fight
>One single fight for 7 months
>Not only could they not even give us a full raid instead of a single boss fight, they can't even give us more than one single fight in 7 months

Chaotic is abandonware and so will Quantum, just like Criterions

>>716338129
well its not a huge gamechanger but it does make the content more approachable, plus if you're 4 people thats 4 resses, and the fact they stack is just good so everyone can have a stack with them, not to mention it will just help out in older deep dungeons and regular dungeon runs and make them way smoother.

>>716338283
Hmm, I wonder what the connection between that content is... could it be... could it be that... """hard""" content in XIV kinda sucks?

>>716338219
that's what you want, right? an alliance raid?

>>716338132
Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen was me making friends with someone in a big FC. I planned to help him with some savages and he told me he can't he's already raiding and I go and look and he's in a 24 man.

>>716338071
>I'd be more excited if they shook up the DD part and introduced random skills/logo/elixirs to make each run stand out more
they've already tried that though and adding that much rng is just annoying, what they're doing with the boss adjustments is far more interesting for the game as a whole.

>>716338132
okay, why not deliver one in 7.25 with OC? Why did they have to pull another "oops, made it too hard teehee"?

>>716338283
we're literally getting a new criterion in 7.4
you need to update your doomp post soundboard

>>716338283
I think they're just throwing shit at the wall and trying to see what the playerbase likes but instead of fine tuning what's there and fixing the problems they just abandon it. They do this a lot see all of the content in the game.

>that one lalafaggot is doing overtime in damage control
lmao, ded game

>>716336998
He did admit they fucked up, but he didn't do anything about it. All people were asking for is a Normal, how hard can that be?
Reduce some of the mechanics, remove res limit and slow down attacks by 10-20%.
There, there's the Normal mode of Fork tower how can honestly can it be to code that?

>no i dont want an alliance raid i just want to bitch about not getting THAT alliance raid
real xivvin hours

>>716338352
>Spread/pairs
>Healer groups
>Stack
>Clock positions
>Double tankbusters
>Raidwides
>MULTIPLE raidwides in a row
>Maybe some unique mechanic once in a while

>>716338554
sorry, best we can do is make an ultimate of the DD boss.

>>716337656
That's true for me though. I have all the gear and both mounts.

>>716338358
I wouldn't mind but I can't be assed to try to farm an armor set from the raid with a weekly lockout. This is why modding is so big in this game. I can use glamourer to have the full set of armor if I want to. I'll only have to touch the alliance once for the sake of it being new.

>>716338554
making a normal mode is requires time and manpower they obviously don't have, not to mention all the QA and FFXIV's QA has already been spotty in DT, probably because the QA team is being shared across other games

I don't know if I'll ever get to do chaotic if they don't change it.

>>716338849
Then why do they have the manpower for "totally optional, don't be mad about it!!" ultimate content?

>>716325123
You didn’t watch the live letter. They literally explained this.

>>716338989
>anon doesn't know how video game development works
also all content besides msq is optional

>>716338989
>no i don't want to share my toys! the game should just have stagnant and sequestered casual content and hardcore content no in betweens

>>716338283
Chaotic was something extra they threw in. Same with Quantum. Neither of these things were DT promises I don't understand this line of thinking.
Criterions are confirmed next patch and they were a DT promise.

>>716339048
Then skipping an Ultimate for 7.3 should absolutely not be a problem and all the raiders pissing and shitting themself over it are really childish, got it.

>>716338554
>forked tower is...
>too fast!
Now that's a new one. Forked Tower mechanics are normal-tier.

>>716339104
>Criterions are confirmed next patch and they were a DT promise.
I hope that means 7.5 has one as well, making for two crits in DT.

UPDATE THE FUCKING SPECIAL SITE REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>716339127
>Then skipping an Ultimate for 7.3 should absolutely not be a problem and all the raiders pissing and shitting themself over it are really childish
yes it is because its just delayed to 7.5 if its happening, they've never said there will be a second one happening

>>716338849
>not to mention all the QA
Anon, they use AI for their QA now, Yoshida even gave an interview about that. Their QA costs next to nothing.

That LL was weak, safe patch to skip, see you in 7.5.

It's not difficult if your success relies on randoms that may or may not be complete retards. You can do it with friends, but it often ends up being more frustrating than fun. MMOs simply can't compete with gachas that offer a similar style of grind but with less of the unfun stuff. They need to adapt instead of appealing to a smaller and smaller niche.

>>716339418
>Yoshida even gave an interview about that.
link it then

>>716339574
>gacharetard, again
Chair+rope

>>716338989
>Why is QA for a 4 man trial less manpower intensive than QA for a full multi-boss 16-48 man raid?
You okay anon?

>>716339574
How many 48 player raids can I do in whatever slot machine you're shilling?

>>716339643
When do we stuff these faggots back into their lockers? The MLPfags of vidya.
