Thread 718754127

BA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Player numbers were already heading south.
I love FFXIV, but the fact that Mare is going down can't be good.

is that a fucking discord screenshot? man, i thought this board was bad but it just keeps getting worse

when is next maintenance? i wanna know when to log in my toon for free login

Anyone else just feel lost now?

I logged in and without mare I just feel like, uneasy and aimless. Shit sucks man. Feels like I lost all motivation to play seeing just how fast all my stuff can be taken away.

Welcome to live service enjoy your stay

Come home white man

>"This will KILL FFXIV, MY FWENS ARE LEAVIIIIIING, Review bomb the game on steam because we can't use sex mods that we've been told NOT to use repeatedly."
Yeah that'll show square...

>>718754335
When did you start to think that the stuff was your stuff?

>>718754474
>Admit to using a mod on the OFFICAL FORUMS
These fucking idiots.

Are you literally shaking too?

>I love FFXIV
Explain yourself.

>>718754528
Up until the final patch quest right before Dawntrail's release, I really enjoyed the story. I went through all of it without skipping anything on Dark Knight.

ShadowBringers was obviously the strongest part, but Endwalker was really enjoyable as well.

>TOS says dont use mods
>Repeatedly put out notices and articles to not use mods
>Shocked when they take legal action against ERP mods
the funny thing is that theyre now review bombing XIV, a game thats already overwhelmingly negative

>>718754127 (OP)
>YOUUUU NEEEED UUUUUUSSS

Does this mean no more modbeasts?

>>718754514
Mod dev has account IDs of users and shit yo stored.
Squeenix lawyers will definitely demand he hand that shit over.
Mod dev will definitely do.
It's already over for all of them.

>>718754616
They intentionally made dawntrail shit, so the modocaust won't ruin their ratings

Tired of people who stick to this game but don't actually play it at all so Mare going down is in small part a good thing to me.
It's time for you fucks to pack up your shit and go back to Second Life or whatever.
>B-bbbbut the game is bleeding subs there'll be no one left
That's fine by me.

>>718754654
Yes, actually.
Mod beasts only existed because other people could see them.

how do house expiries work?
assuming all these people stop playing when will their houses by available to bid?

>>718754654
Yes but I question the decision since even with SE finally C&D'ing mods that have the potential to leak actual player #s like Playerscope did the fact remains that the active numbers are really really bad to the point that the 300-400k number coincides with operational profits dropping by 45%. Theyre effectively killing a cancerous but used to be loyal part of their consumer base.
>>718754674
>Squeenix lawyers will definitely demand he hand that shit over.
They already got C&D'd. Square wont act as long as they shut down the servers.

Looking forward to the next population census. Surely the second life modbeast gooners are only a small minority, right?

These are the people modding FFXIV and learning nothing.
Reminds me of that one modder that got a sex toy sponsor and used FFXIV assets to promote the toy lol
Why are XIV players such dumbasses?

>>718754801
>population census
LuckyBancho is pretty unreliable especially given he tends to give several 100k to the numbers when compared to Playerscope results. That said Balmung and Mateus are the biggest servers and are infamous for ERP/RP and modbeasts so I would expect a massive drop there at least.

>>718754801
The game could be left with 10k subs and it wouldn't mean jack shit to me.
Maybe stop deriving your enjoyment of a game from its ability to turn it into IMVU, or being able to wank off to its numbers.

>>718754823
the xiv community legitimately competes for the lowest average iq of any game

Fucked around.
Found out.

>>718754127 (OP)
Wasn't this guy making millions of dollars from selling Mare premium features?
Why wouldn't SE come down on his ass over this?

>>718754823
So it's all just trannies larping as ethots?

>>718754932

>>718754932

>over this
No, SE is acting because the potential to leak accurate active player counts is more harmful to their potential finances than being associated with degenerates. Reminder the first plugin hit was Playerscope because it was giving exact player numbers, Mare has the ability to do the same.

>>718754127 (OP)
gooners keep overestimating their importance most of them will be back anyway despite how upset this makes them

I don't get it.
Instead of making the game better, they'd rather just kill the remaining playerbase.

Ffxiv has the biggest group of autists I have ever seen... They're the kind of people that can't visualize a fucking apple

>>718754801
Based on the mods own census data, like 70% of the users are on free to play accounts.

>>718754987

I still ERP via text posts, as God intended

>>718754823
Mentally ill subhumans will look at this literal second life trash and be like: " this looks so much better than base models".

>>718755062
Reminder this was made up. You can't and won't post any proof. The census data didn't have character levels on it at all.

>>718755062
There has never been proof of this beyond a Reddit post by a literal who. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though if you do happen to have anything to back up this claim.
>>718755063
Pretty much. Easier to handwave degenerates as long as the game looks like its alive and making money, harder to handwave a collapsing population when the data is being leaked out in an accurate manner by modders abusing your own negligence.

>>718755105
>I still ERP via text posts
It just means you're not retarded and have an actual imagination

Maybe you just grew out of the game. And that's ok! :)

>>718755105
Same. Outside of the game client.

It will be very interesting to see where player numbers are 90 days from now.

>>718755059
just fucking go play vr chat holy shit you people are already like 2 steps away from being able to do all the shit you do in 14 there anyway plus its fucking free

The revenge ddosing has begun. And you know these fuckers are crazy enough to keep it up.

>>718755231
:)

Why are there so many people constantly insisting they don't play the game but always hovering around XIV trying to destroy it?
Like move on. There are other games. There are games with a fraction of XIV's subs that are still doing fine. Why are you so invested in this?

They only did anything because it was affecting the cash shop. With declining sales, they need to maximize their profits. The shareholders have been putting tons of pressure on them to squeeze the cow harder.

>>718754959
Always has been

>>718755269
Not to defend the modbeasts but the issue is this is very much a weird decision for SE given they've ignored or at least tolerated their presence for years now and allowed them to cultivate and become one of the more defining populations in the game. They're currently losing players to DT and are now running out the degenerate rats while failing to recoup lost players. These people should have been shunned years ago to allow the cultivation of players but the playerbase also fucked itself in that regard.

>>718755325
That just proves it was the right thing to do.

>>718755331
if that was they case they would've just killed modding in general and not the thing that lets gooners see what other gooners are using

Wow won.

Yeah, really winning there, sister.

I just finished the Melee DPS role quest for Dawntrail after having previously done Magic, healer and tank, a major difference between Melee and the other 3 I had done really stood out to me it was really noticeable in those first 3 how nobody actually died, but then in this one somebody did, I kept expecting them to reveal she had actually survived
I guess I'll see how RDPS goes

>>718755329
When they smell there's blood in the water they flock to it. Some people just want to see things fall apart.

can someone give me a qrd, wtf is this?
I havent played ffxiv in like a decade

i dont know what really took them so long but i guess the playerscope stuff finally made them decide to take action that being said i dont know if this has been in the works for a while or not i dont know what kind of legal shit you have to go through just to send out a cnd to someone

The time for care was long ago. The game isnt salvageable and these decisions are hastening its own death. I don't think even Blizzard is retarded enough to alienate their degenerates when theyre in need of subs.

>>718755491
Little friend, there are games far worse than that that don't get this amount of asshurt over it.

Dalamud next and I will resub

>>718755487
The fact that people could circumvent the real money fantas and cosmetics items with mare and glamourer made them do this.
They were losing tens of millions of dollars because of them.

>>718755537
i know some people are saying the mare creator is just milking people for money and doesn't care enough to maintain it now that they got whatever they wanted out of it

Guys I don't know if you noticed but this anon has clearly vagueposted 5 or 6 times about how he doesn't care and will play this game no matter what, so maybe you should stop posting already? Like he obviously doesn't care what you say which is why he keeps mentioning it, so move on and stop talking already.

>>718755663
It's azerover.

>>718755541
>amount of asshurt over it
My diminutive comrade the accusation of such goes both ways. Are you to say this game defines your personality to a degree that it compels you to come to its defense and pretend things are fine? Anyways even if you don't care much for FFXIV everyone enjoys a good downfall.

>>718755474

But why? Why not just jew the modders and finally deliver on the modding API they promised during the buildup to ARR? Charge these fuckers absurd costs to keep their mods running. At least take that money they've been making.

Exterminating the modbeasts may finally make the devs listen to gameplaychads for once... but I doubt it.

>>718755868
The FC lead in my FC had a massive crash out.

They dismissed like 30 members, then 40 members left.
The FC discord is gone all that exists now is the rules page.

This was all 4 hours after the announcement.

>>718755868
how can SE enforce it though, do they have a kernel level anti-cheat to detect it?

>playing this woke garbage

>>718755806
For FFXIV? Not exactly. Current views from the playerbase are not positive in regards to Dawntrail. Most JP and NA players are not happy with OC and feel like Island Sanctuary is non content. The current financial reports show that profits have dropped by 45% and given their legal actions it seems the 300,000 active playercount that was leaked prior to the Cease and Desist was true. The game needs a massive turnaround to undo the damage the expansion has done and regardless of you hating or loving the Mare degenerates they do make up part of the remaining players so giving them reason to quit when their finances are in trouble is a puzzling move.

>>718755976
thats what most people are waiting for them getting dalamud is pretty much going to be what ends it

>>718755986
The second he updates Mare after the c&d he gets sued?

>>718755986
They can't and there have already been alternatives available that are untouched, it's just the big one that can't continue if he doesn't want to get sued because the retard put all his real info on github.

>>718755986
They C&Ded the guy(she/her) who develops the plugin and hosts the servers (very expensive to host). There's no enforcement against any user of the plugin and nothing stopping people from forking and hosting. I fully expect that by next weekend there will be people hosting private mare servers for their FC/friendgroup/venue/etc but nothing on the scale of global mare due to the cost of it.

>>718755763
How do you do fellow biofems

>>718756035
people can just fork it?

>>718755986
Enforce what? They're DMCA'ing the guy maintaning the mod, not the people using it
The mod is massive and requires its own server to swap the mods around between people, the DMCA has him shutter said server
People can keep using it but obviously it won't be connecting to anything now

Bro what's with this shitpost?

FF14 should have ended at 6.0

>>718756023
I'm talking about the game, not the numbersfagging.
It's a totally functional game that is updated on a schedule pretty much without fail. They respond to feedback, and people who actually play the game have been mostly positive about the content.

Yesterday at noon Mare had "25k users". In the evening it had "150k users". Now it supposedly has "300k users'. Can you show me where those "6 million users" are?

>>718756023
>giving them reason to quit when their finances are in trouble is a puzzling move.
No but you see, the ones that don't quit will be more motivated to buy stuff from the cash shop to show off their cool costumes, trust the plan

grim

>>718756092
The 25k users is just the peak hours. The dev confirmed 200k total users. They're just not all going at once.

>>718754127 (OP)
literally fucking who?

>>718756080
Okay, show me the proof. It shouldn't be that hard? Just show me the proof that a C&D was sent, and that it was verified that it was from SE. I don't see why this is an issue. A C&D isn't a confidential document.

This is a good thing, they didn't play the game anyway so they won't be missed.

Now that they killed mods, they're surely going to focus more on quality vanilla content and the MSQ, right?

What do they need to listen to?

>>718754335

>>718756086
>talking about the game
We are and the current finances and player numbers are relevant. If players aren't happy with any of the content they quit, if players quit they lose profit, if profits drop normally the plan is to fix that but all that's been done is threaten existing consumers with no shown plan that could potentially attract lost players. The game isn't doing fine. Can you state you're happy with the content? Sure but the truth of the matter is in terms of the playerbase as a whole the view is negative. At this point you'd have to be coping to think otherwise.

>>718755986
people are already talking about making forks but it's probably only going to be for a small user base only now because people who use this stuff make a habit out of not knowing how to shut the fuck up and nobody wants a target on their back now

>>718756195

He contributed to the game more than (You) though?
Where are your paypigged outfits?

>>718756164

we have a similar thing on genshin where you have client side mods to undo censorship and have lewd

>>718756234
>We are
You're not. You're numbersfagging.

is the mobile mmo still alive? feels like you hear nothing about it these days

I used to play WoW in a hardcore raiding guild and would see people talk about FF14 and how it was a much better game in some ways. Then years later I discover that most FF14 players are just weird fetishists who mod then jerk off to their characters.

>modding games

What’s next, speed running?

>>718756160
You made the claim, prove they weren't C&D'd like the devs claimed on Discord.

>>718756265
Not my problem, he didn't play the content, he didn't play the game that was made and he was always going to quit.

Some quick reminders
>MMO revenue is barely affected by sub fees
>90% of revenue is MTX
>Players who use mods instead of buying MTX quitting ultimately doesn't affect the revenue of the game
Nothingburger.

>>718756234
He already said he'll still play the game even if he's the last psrson left. Which is to say he doesn't actually play the game because he would need other people to do that. It also means he doesn't actually give a shit at all about the quality or quantity of content, because his loyalty is guaranteed regardless. You're talking to a brand whore.

>>718756160
There is this that's been floating around but no way to verify its authenticity. I think it's fake because they wouldn't need to specify that the mod is a threat to the cash shop but I'm just an armchair lawyer.

>>718756203
>they're surely going to focus more on quality vanilla content and the MSQ, right?
Already have.

>we don't need MSQfags, we have raidfags
>we don't need raidfags, we have ERPers
>we don't need ERPers, we have-
Who is left? The ones so addicted they would sub even if no content came out? And Yoshi-P worshippers?

>>718756329
>>90% of revenue is MTX
Proof?
I know players who have bought 10 fantas and various cash shop glams, but I don't know anyone who has spent more on MTX than sub fees.

>>718756273
Nobody is stopping you from talking about whatever you want to talk about, but strangely you just keep vagueposting about how you don't care about numbersfagging.

>>718756329
This Anon get its, they weren't contributing to the game anyway through revenue or playing content and being part of the player base in content so good riddance.

>>718756348
A cease and desist must include the name of the people it targets or at the very least an internet domain (which isn't present even if it was erased for privacy, it clearly is not in the document) and the legal representative that issued it in the client's name.

>>718756440
So all you wanna do is numbersfag, then. Got it.

Ah right sorry. You're right anon the game is doing fine. Just ignore the profits declining by nearly half and data that says otherwise. You know what they say, don't believe your lying eyes.

Did SE actually breakdown their XIV revenue or is this all just asspulls?

Oh, you need more aoe rooms full of mobs kill 3 bosses content? Or how about some more 24 man with same exact content except red circles you get blue ones?
The game is stale, the writing is terrible in a story driven game, and the devs have been giving players the absolute minimum content allowed. Gacha has more content now.

>>718756751
They should quit and go to VRchat or Robcocks.

>>718756758
Hopefully they enforce against the cheats and botting plugins next instead of just cosmetic stuff.

I've started to notice something. Anytime anyone mentions the plugins getting ceased and desisted you have someone running in claiming they're just taking the money and running and lying. If this is creating easy money since apparently the Marefag has bought a multimillion dollar home off this shit then why would you stop development on it when it makes more money than any basic programming job would?

what the fuck is mare?

>>718756846
Mod that allowed synchronization of visual mods between clients for ERP purposes.

>>718756846
Normally modded characters are personal. Mare lets you type in a code and see what other players look like on their own games.

>>718756650
Estrogen destroys male brains.

>>718756901
>>718756910
does it depend on third party servers or is synchronization done on the normal game servers?
if #1, what's stopping someone else from running the project?

Numbersfagging is an inherently feminine and passive-aggressive way to engage with video games.

>>718756970
3rd party server. The only interaction it has with SE servers is for account specific bans.

Bro not beating the arguing like a women allegations.

>>718756846
Tool that allowed people to see each other's mods. It started innocently with people able to share their modded glamours for normal RP in cafes.
But then people soon abused it and turned it into emote syncing and nude mods which allowed erpers to fuck each other's character and that ballooned into what it became primarily known for.

>>718756970
The only wall is the cost of running your own server to handle all the data constantly being sent back and forth between players.

There's already a replacement in the works.

>>718756970
The 3rd party servers were very very expensive to maintain and relied upon patreon donations. No one will freely provide a global mod sync server any more but you might see smaller servers cropping up that are hosted in someone's bedroom or on AWS free tier.

>>718756846
A repository plugin that let you see other people's mods while also letting them see yours and allowed you to change people's characters who weren't modded to the equivalent of this.

>>718754127 (OP)
The percentage of population that uses Mare is probably in the 2-3% range. It doesn't mean anything. I've been playing for like 9 years and I don't use it. And I'm running something like 55 plugins.

>>718756979
This is a multiplayer game. The amount of people playing and the general sentiment toward the game are both relevant things to talk about. And people are going to do that. You're still sitting here like a faggot crying about people talking about declining sentiment rather than just talking about things you want to talk about because you're actually just a seething brand whore faggot. The anon you're bitching at isn't even fucking doomposting or saying the game is bad or unfun. He's talking about the very real situation of the player count dropping by one MILLION active players and SE then deciding to make even more people angry at them. Regardless of your opinion on the game or mods or mare, that is the situation right now. And you can stomp your feet and vaguepost about how you'll be loyal to the end no matter what, but for those of us who do actually play the game and care about its future, we are going to talk about these things. Maybe you don't care about having people to do content with, maybe you don't care if SE sunsets the game because of declining interest, but we do. So go cry about it.

Always makes me sad when I realize they really don't care.

>>718757205
I was just trying to see if you had anything to add, but seeing as it's just thinly veiled numbersfagging and you're doubling down on it, I guess there's nothing of value to be gleaned from it. I hope your virtual soccer team wins, Patel. It sounds like you need it.

>>718755663
wow gamers are literally ALL 30+ with a child or 2, they don't sit on reddit which is controlled by less than 12 super mods who mod 100+ communities.

>>718754127 (OP)
Someone else will take it over. SE only cares about the monetization. Not the mod itself. The same guy might just keep working on it from another account without the blatant greed (and this time be smart about it so he can't be tracked).

>>718757294
Do you have anything to talk about besides how you don't actually care about the game at all because you'll be a good little paypiggy no matter what happens?

>>718756218
I will buy the latest 40 USD outfit right away

Do you think the outrage over Mare will show Yoshida and SE that there's a big demand for more character customization options that people can use for their characters? Maybe they'll actually add to the 3-5 faces we've had since 2.0. :)))

So will this game hit 5 digits or still stay in 6 digit territory? What would it need to do to bring you back?

>>718757158
something to add is also that not everyone of those 2-3% are modbeasts that only sub to the game just to erp, many download mare just to sync up with their friends for silly emotes or because their friend got a hairmod, and they can easily just ignore it, so mare being gone actually impacts very few people

>>718757287
nta but it's essentially a bot plugin

>>718755119
Do white super women really?

>>718757360
Yeah, I'm sure you care about the game.

>>718757287
It just makes your shit for you. Open the recipe, click go. It does the rest. It's much more complex than that as far as features go, but that's the gist of it. It's crafting automation. Supports lists and consumables and repairs and auto-retainer integration and fetching raw mats from retainers etc etc. But the core thing is crafting automation if you don't want to get fancy.

>>718757354
they care more about the fact mare scaped the account ID, though the money did not help mare devs case.
Which also means whoever takes over is never gonna be able to run mare at the level the dev did because hosting the servers was fucking expensive and needed donations, unless the new person is actually a trustfund baby

Why are there so many people constantly insisting they play this game but always hovering around WoW trying to destroy it?
Like move on. There are other games. There are games with a fraction of WoW's subs that are still doing fine. Why are you so invested in this?

>>718757379
>will show Yoshida and SE that there's a big demand for more character customization options that people can use for their characters?
YoshiP has already mentioned/hinted a customization update like 3 times during DT media tour and such.

>>718757287
The most innocent way to use Artisan is to give it your macro for creating e.g. a potion and then ask it to make 999 of them. It executes actions at full speed and loops the macro while you are AFK.

It also has a recipe solver built in though, so most people use it just as a crafting bot. It can make submaterials, extract materia etc. Queue up your crafts and then tab out and do something else while the bot plays the game for you.

>>718757423
Yeah, I care about it a lot. A hell of a lot more than you do. You've already said that you don't care about having other people around, nor do you actually care about the quality of content. Meaning you do not care about the game one bit. You care about the brand. People who do care about the game know that we need other fucking people around to play it. We know that we want SE to actually continue supporting the game which requires a monetary incentive in the form of people fucking subscribing to it.

Wasn't Homestuck melting down about Mare going down yesterday? Pick a narrative about your e-crush and stick to it.

>>718754474
It actually will, yeah. The server for these degens sometimes peaked at 100k active users. They are a majority of the playerbase. You can downplay their commonality, but that doesn't change the fact that something like 95% of the players just stand around and chat, and a significant portion of that group uses such mods.

>>718757978
Looking forward to your next vaguepost about 4chan posts instead of game discussion.

>>718758048

Oh lmao if that happens yeah you can kiss the population goodbye. It's the least egregious of the modding clients and mostly offers basic QoL that SE had to eventually add in.

>>718758048
Mare got caught because it used AccountID which SE is trying to protect like a hawk nowadays.

>>718756840
They won't, since botters are an infinite source of revenue. Every time they get banned, they buy new accounts. SE probably makes more off botters than it does off modbeasters.

>>718757158

>Multiple realms, each hosting 25k people
Yeah?

>>718758268
Exactly this. Botters run on razor-thin margins and will eat that $15 sub cost if it means farming gil or mats for RMT. SE has zero incentive to nuke them completely when they're basically passive income. Meanwhile, mod users don't generate extra revenue, and worse-they might even cost SE subs when a puritan screeches and ragequits over someone showing skin. It's not about game health, it's about what's profitable.

>>718758335
>25k
>active players are slightly 10x that thanks to leaked data
So almost 10% of players?

>>718756218
The funniest bit is that this document got it completely wrong, so I am willing to believe it was an actual C&D letter since those faggots have no fucking idea what they're talking about. Mare does not give you access to anything, you obtain cash shop outfit appearances with glamourer.

Why the fuck is the floor 30 boss for PoTD fucking me so much with attacks I can't do anything about. I use pomander of strength and steel.

>>718758409
25k on one realm, there's 2 per eu and 2 per US. So about 100k total Mare users. To maintain an account you also need to retain their discord membership and that Discord had like 200k users. It is a lot more than that. SE definitely shot themselves in the foot if they were the ones to have done it.

>>718758395
>when a puritan screeches and ragequits over someone showing skin
Puritans would be a minority and Fan Fests would show SE who the majority are. Reminder that it was the community that forced Yoshida to add gay marriage on initial EB news and demanded crossdressing.

>>718758462
Is your aetherpool level low? You don't get enough aetherpool naturally in one run for most jobs if you started with 1/1 from floor 1.

Taking down Dalamud would make the game better

>>718758594
Cheaters have their own forks, Splatoon and Pisel Perfect both are a joke compared to what botting software can do

>>718758598
I do know how Fear Itself Works. What Aetherpool level do you suggest? It's not high, but it's not super low either.
>>718758617

>>718756601
No actually you're describing a raidfag. Gameplaychads understand that gameplay needs to move towards Stormblood levels of variety and job design with a more experimental approach to encounters akin to ARR or Heavensward (but without the latter's difficulty since that alienates casuals into leaving the game).

>>718759163
>What does this game even has to offer at this point?
For me? Story, trials, deep dungeons, raids, maps (with FC), sometimes a glam or whatever to chase.

>>718756068
they can do that yes, you'll never be able to really kill mods in ffxiv like that. But people using different forks won't be able to see each other so there's going to be a period of chaos while everything settles down again. Long term it will probably deter people from putting effort into modding knowing they can be slapped down.

>>718759194
Monster Hunter General. Someone tried to claim Barry was going to start shitting up the general cause it had a XIV Collab to make people hate XIV only to be shouted down by MHG because they didn't realize MH players are really not happy rn with Wilds or the Collab.

>>718759119

Most of those mare modbeasts barely play the game either. They just use it as a glorified version of second life.
VRChat is the logical next step (and there are games you can play within it anyway).

I think 20/20 should be fine on healers and good range dps, make sure to use the potions you loot as well. You can start a second file and climb to 21 on that to get double the aetherpool upgrades to get started.
If you're going for necromancer you'll want to start a fresh file at around 70/70 for your real 1-200 attempt.

>>718758594
No it wouldn't. Before Dalamud it was MMOMinion, which is paid but the tools are even more powerful for cheating. If they were to fully kill Dalamud, and no forks whatsoever, then you'd have only cheaters with extra money to spare. (like me).

>>718759259

I'm just saying too little too late. They cultivated these troons by letting them stick around for years and only reacted years after the fact once those troons did their damage thru player feedback just because they couldn't hide player numbers. Go back in time and ban Mare when it arose.

I am around that level. Maybe just under (18/19). As a Machinist. Wait, actually..
Do you have to reapply steel and strength after you use lust and leave the transformation? Or is it just mostly to do with not using potions enough? Ultimately, I can admit I suck dick, but even so I can't fathom someone outliving the damage I received.

>>718759547
It is relevant because you could correlate the active mare users with active discord users. Why are you arguing so vehemently about things you know nothing about? You could log into the game and check how many people were logged on Mare, at any given time, it usually peaked at 18-20k per realm at peak hours and there were four realms.

>Do you have to reapply steel and strength after you use lust and leave the transformation?

Use potions, use second wind, use tactician. You shouldn't need the palace potions at that point, just use hyper potions.

>>718759651
Penumbra and Customize+ also have paid content. There's a shit ton of paid mods, so many more in fact, I'd go as far as to say that most mods these days are paid mods. All of this is just too stupid for me to wrap my head around, really.

Still do. I haven't ERPed inside of an MMO in probably 10 or so years now. I stick to text as the medium.

>>718759792
Community created content made it one.

>>718759694
Well regardless this isn't one of them, it was made very obvious your gooner mod can go away at any given moment because it's explicitly against the rules and SE probably doesn't want a game that allows minors to play to be associated with loud modbeasts who spam their porn everywhere.

>>718759791
I did try but I might have been a bit frantic given the damage I took during it. I appreciate the help. I wanna do more PotD but if I can't even get past floor 30, I really do worry I won't get anywhere, lol.

>>718759865
The most obvious falseflag ever nice try

For anyone confused the only reason Mare and PlayerScope got hit is because they have the ability to tell FFXIV players and by proxy potential investors and existing shareholders the actual number of subbed players the game currently has. Square has spent years hiding this data from anyone not higher up in the company and CBU3. They will not target mods that only work client side.

>>718759860
Troons are really salty at him huh?

>>718759858
When he's casting the fire and ice puddles at you that's a good time to put distance between you. And use sprint strategically too. On higher floors even trash mobs will rape your HP with auto attacks so it's definitely a skill to get used to, especially when you're working with the confined spaces in the dungeon floors.

It's an old video, what did you expect?

Female browsers, contact me on Discord. Tag: j1bunw00

more so if you enjoy videogames, anime, and all artistiic and creatiive—whether it's loIi, Pokemon, Fate, Dragon Quest, Limbus Company, Bravely Default, Fire Emblem, /m/ series, Kemono, SMT, Mega Man, Monogatari, RWBY, Digimon, Disgaea or series like , Sonic, 3D SFM, Castlevania, Touhou,and more.Danganronpa, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, and more

Modbeasts can still play the game. In an MMO it's always expected that models/graphics are synced. The idea being that your character's appearance is the same for every client across the world, along with various other graphics like spells, armour etc.

Modding completely goes against this. If it's a singleplayer game then who cares what you do since it's only you experiencing your singeplayer game. But in an MMO you're with others. You can't have one client show two bunny dudes shaking hands, while another client shows them vigorously jerking each other's massive cocks.

>>718760134
They're not banning that, they're banning your ability to see it from your side
...which was opt in to begin with, you can't sync with someone elses Mare without directly entering their code/joining the same "group"

>>718760151
I don't know if I got enough of a maso in me for that.
I'll heed your warning, though.

>>718760207
It wasn't just one bad expansion, shit had been building up for years since Heavensward. The devs did nothing to address the issues the game had and let them fester and Dawntrail was just the last straw, since most people were just holding on onto stories that kept them entertained in a familiar world. And then Tural happened.

Paid mods are 100% gonna get targeted in the near future. There are simple SFX mods being sold for 20 dollars on kofi and youtube channels that the creators advertise publicly online, while the majority of glamour mods are either direct ports from the online shop (so piracy), ports from gacha games, or heavily sexual stuff. Now that Square finally picked up the axe, they're ready to use it.

>>718754823
i'm glad these abominations are going away. i'd rather have a smaller playerbase but no VRchat refugees than a larger playerbase known for being porn addicts

>>718758395
>when a puritan screeches and ragequits over someone showing skin. It's not about game health, it's about what's profitable
You can't even see what people with Mare are doing without their code. You have to actively ask them for a pairing code, then send yours, and before any of that you need to willingly install the plugin(s). If a puritan voluntarily exposes themselves to someone like that, that's their fault for being a fucking retard.

This, but also fewer hypebeast retards. Just all-around a better, more chill community.

I went to the first FFXIV fanfest in Vegas and I vividly recall a point at which the dev team was actually taking unfiltered player questions. I raised my hand but didn't get picked.

RETARDS

A huge amount of people will stay for their 40 million house

They will be mad but they will stick around, and go back to how it was before, silently sharing mod stuff on discord instead of directly spamming random people in game

I play since ARR release and I was able to experience the difference

It became a nightmare and was impossible for me to have normal conversations with players (even new ones) without mare being mentioned

Y’all can downvote but the reason it’s getting shutdown is because it was too loud and actually annoying a lot of vanilla players

And if you unsubscribe

I'm beginning to believe SE didn't do it but the server providers the dev was using for mare. He was abusing lots of free server trials and cheap services to run it, and because the second life crowd is too stupid to look at their file sizes, let alone optimize them, you run into situations where you get big webs of shells so the million people at that faggy beach party that lasted a month are constantly sending, receiving, and updating the data for their 8K resolution blackout tattoos and seven million tri earrings

The mod hosted on the website is free, he can link to his patreon ko-fi or whatever other platform he uses, but my statement still holds true, retard. XMA doesn't host paid mods and the trial is free. Each of those faggots has his own patreon account, good luck swatting all of them.

My mods are doing fine, just jerked off to my amazon futa not so long ago.

Omg it's so beautiful, no fucking cathags and pedos clogging up limsa, everything is so fucking clean.

Here's the truth about Mare:
Most users were boring, didn't use many mods and mostly just had more shapely bodies or anything other than Hank HIll ass. The modbeasts weren't even liked in that community because they often caused crashes and overloaded file limits and refused to optimize their setup or even pare it down.

This extends to the Venue scene too. Most of it was boring as sin of people just sitting around in silence, maybe talking about a random thing for a few minutes now and then.

I was part of that world for awhile and never figured out why it was so alluring to people. It was literally mostly nothing.

That is an interesting bit of info, it's possible they went to SE through the back channels, since in big corporate IT solution spheres for hosting and bandwidth, most of those guys working there know one another.

XIV was a troon ERP game before mare and it will continue to be a troon ERP game after mare.
Who the fuck cares?

The EU regulations were responsible for this, you know. If XIV is known to be an ERP chatroom hub then chances are XIV would have lost all their EU playerbase.

>>718761542
GW gets canned, because you personally dont like it?

>>718761669
XIV already has sexual content in the vanilla game including rape and a strip club, which is why this was datamined with 7.3.

Regardless of your stance on modding people should realize that this will drastically effect the game. Mare had an active player base of 100k+. This combined with WoW's new housing system, which is drastically superior to FFXIV, will likely result in the death of the entire RP community.

It's been dead for awhile. The death wail of an older RP community is when "tavern RP" becomes the standard and that happened in FFXIV. It has also happened in GW2 and WoW.

>>718761781
The real RP community has been displaced by these gooning modbeasts.

>>718761732

faggot then tries to switch IPs to samefag own posts but the influx of (1) ID posts makes it obvious
starts melting out and paying a botfarm to flood the site and make xiv threads on /v/ unusable because nobody wanted to move to /vg/ threads where he could samefag his own modbeast and make it seem popular

>I enjoy the game lol
Whst do you enjoy about it? What do you even do in FFXIV that you like do much? I know nobody on/v/ raids so that's not it. There's zero content after you're done the 3 hours of non hard-core raid content per patch unless you're s Secondlife ERPer.

So what do you even do in FFXIV that you guys enjoy about it do much? Because i keep seeing you guys say you still enjoy the game, but never once fo any of you say WHAT you enjoy about it. What you even DO in the game all day

>>718763113
>no that's wrong it's cause they can get IDs that can be used to show active player count

"SE took our goonerslop away, but won't stop harassment!!!"

I don't get it, who exactly are they harassing?, I just see them standing there.

>>718763268

That's how we know the game was down to 300k players retard
>>718763304
SE should just ban homos in general

>all these gooners actually seething ITT right now
Holy shit I am so happy bros. I fucking despise ERPers so much.

I'd rather it die than ever be a place for you "people"

>>718763389
Bro what post are you even quoting. This reads like a salty strawman.

>>718763268
>Whst do you enjoy about it?
Playing the game. Trials, raids, forays, deep dungeons, alliance raids, occasionally doing maps with friends. I liked doing Cosmic Exploration when that was new but I got everything I wanted out of it so now I only casually/idly do it for materia and I look forward to the 7.31 update.

>>718762604

Again, the issue is personal data and privacy, not sales numbers. Yoshida even spent an hour saying disclosing personal information is a big no no.
I swear steam charts threads have completely destroyed 3rd worlders' brains

>>718763448
He uses the native 4chan filename randozimer which is solely used by terminally online trannies afraid of being “recognized”, it’s pretty hard to unsee when you see the worst posters use this feature

>>718763620
>>Marefags already moving on over
And then the process repeats itself because modbeasts NEVER learn from their mistakes.

>>718763304
I will actually defend them on that one, but only because I know the backstory to that image.

That image shows one random mother fucker multi-boxing what is quite possibly HUNDREDS of accounts in order to clog zones/shards (Mostly Limsa, but he has been known to bombard RP events to stop people from getting in.)

>>718763304
>Limsa's closed

>>718763386
You have no idea how faggot’s cope worked

>>718763268
Whenever hair will grow on your face you will learn that people can enjoy things you don't.

>>718763640
Yoshida already went out of his way that it doesn't comprise important info such as Credit Cards or name you retard. He's only annoyed cause this shit can be used to accurate ascertain active player counts. If harassment/privacy was the main concern previous mods would have been hit.

>>718763620
Yeah they're moving to a Mare Fork that was set up by a guy who was banned from Mare for having Lalafell porn mods, not joking either. Lopporitt is what it's called.

>>718763268
Genuinely curious what games you enjoy, and why you enjoy them, what you do in them, etc.

>>718763826
Lalafell... p-p-PORN?! OH MY SCIENCE WHAT WILL REDDIT THINK!!!

>>718763826
>trannies clutch pearls over "sexualizing children" with lala mods
>go crawling back to said lala modder because the thought of not looking like busted up whores ingame is anathema to them
these people are beyond parody

>>718763620
Loporitt is going to die fast
>>718763640
Player IDs are account specific even when using alts. It's why you can tell which character is an alt or not and why people were able to break down the 300k number to what it was now. UIDs were account specific and you could keep scanning them over and over thru 30 day intervals to get the count.

>>718763268
I do ALL the content, nigga

>>718763352
>>718763775
>>718763839
You haven't explained what you enjoy about FFXIV. I'm starting to suspect you don't actually play the game and are being paid to shill for it.

>>718763475
All of this is one and done content. Whst is continuing to keep you subscribed? ERP?

>>718763975
I think it's great.

>>718763975
The hilarious part is lala mods were a scapegoat since Yoshida was showing annoyances at people modding dicks on the Miqote child NPCs

>piss off storyfags by releasing a garbage story

Is Square purposefully trying to kill FFXIV to try to shill an upcoming new FF MMO? They tried to shittify FFXI when the first version of FFXIV was about to release but XIV going down in flames made them stop that.

>>718764074
>All of this is one and done content.
Huh? No. I can do it as many times as I want.

>>718764074

I don’t give a fuck, you’re going to die early trannoid

>>718764129
>piss off storyfags by releasing a garbage story
I'm a storyfag and I've sat through 7.0 and 7.1 not liking it but as of 7.2 and 7.3 I'm enjoying it again.
>piss off raidfags by delaying the next Ultimate
That's what they asked for.
>piss off casualfags with garbage side content
I've been having more fun in DT than in EW and ShB because there's more to do.

FF XVII (next mmo) announcement, when?

>>718763620
It's not gonna last. Not only the server required a lot of investment and time (which I doubt these people have), but they never learn from their mistakes. They will keep advertising their codes and paid mods, believing the danger has passed, and SE will terminate the new "mare" again.

>>718764256
2 more weeks

>>718764197
>>718764209
What did you do in ffxiv this week?

>>718764248
>I'm a storyfag and I've sat through 7.0 and 7.1 not liking it but as of 7.2 and 7.3 I'm enjoying it again.

LOL, you enjoy more Wuk Lamat? Or the lamest villain this game has ever seen? Or the Acians getting drudged up because the writers have zero imagination and can't come up with new villains? Smile playing as Sphene decides to abandon all of her development in 7.2 to become queen again anyway and v3 irrelevant forever? What part of this did you like most?

>I've been having more fun in DT than in EW and ShB because there's more to do.

What content? Elaborate

>>718756085
>ff14 should have ended on a wet fart expansion
I hate endfaggots.
>IT HAS THE WORD "END" IN THE EXPANSION THEREFORE IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED
it was a rushed piece of shit that the devs already said themselves that there were supposed to be 2 more expansions before we got anywhere close to the conclusion of the story. Endwalker fucked everything up because they blew their load.

>>718764597
>what content
Erping.

>>718763620
Hosting the server and paying for all those characters syncing with each other cost a lot of money. The Mare dev earned something like 150k monthly and a good part of it was needed to pay for all that structural stuff. He pocketed the rest, of course, and bought himself a 1.2 million dollar house, but that's a story for another time :^)

These new guys on the scene won't be able to receive the same amount of donations and goodwill from players, so it's over for those demented clowns.

>>718764597
>you enjoy more Wuk Lamat?
Nop.
>Or the lamest villain this game has ever seen?
Vauthry? Thordan?
>Or the Acians getting drudged up
Sure, I bet they still have interesting stories to tell with the sundered Ascians.
>Sphene decides to abandon all of her development in 7.2
Didn't happen, so I wouldn't be able to answer that.
>What part of this did you like most?
Having an interesting story, with good music, cool boss fights, good animation, great presentation and some new activities added to the MSQ.
>What content? Elaborate
OC and CE, relic grind. A better raid series than Pandaemonium. On top of the usual stuff that we get, of course, like your EX trials.

>>718754514
Why not? They're quitting. "Yeah I stole ten million dollars" as you're jumping off a cliff to your death is fine, like you may as well.

>>718763668
>native 4chan filename randozimer
anon...

>>718762704
At this point, nothing short of cross-DC PF could save Chaos, and the dev team show no interesting in evcer making that work, so might as well get out.

OH THE SEETHING

>>718762168
It's not that hard to get in on there but yeah. They have the right idea honestly.

So many controversies in just the last half a year.
How does this shitty game refuse to die?

>>718762621
KEK they are gonna pump out more modernslop to shut up venuefags just like the other Anon said.
