[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[Granyala]

I find it rather hilarious when people yap on about how one online game has a worse community than another.
Having played many online games I can only say: that isn't true.

There isn't that much difference between communities at all. 90% of all random runs are just silent people doing stuff. Might as well be bots.

However, I agree with Bovinity in one aspect: peoples patience and by direct correlation "niceness" is highly dependent on how much any given game makes them farm content. The more they have to farm, the more impatient and less tolerant they are of mistakes, because the "just want to get shit done" mentality kicks in.

Watched this a few days ago when I was browsing some stuff and it just makes me say one thing.... Soken should be on EVERY stream.

Well i decided to give anemos another try, died twice and each time any ask for a res was met with a white mage literally walking up to tebag and walk away till the res timer ran out. What fun.

For how shitty Eureka was in general, I've never encountered such a behaviour, people were willing to run across half the map to raise and used two seat mounts to help newbies. Though the last time I visited it was before Pagos release.

Shame I wasn't in the instance. Would have ressed you mate.

Don't take that as a sign not to continue though. Anemos can be quite dead at times due to it being an older stage.

I mean I think Eureka is awful too. Well 1/4 of it at least.

Honestly overall Anemos, Pyros and Hydatos aren't terrible it's just nothing new. Pagos though can go to hell.

So can the RNG involved with assigning stats on a relic in Pyros. Should have been we can assign it with 800 stat points and each stat caps at 400.

I think overall Eureka would get a 6.9/10 for me. Not terrible but Pagos just pissed me off too much.

Honestly i'm just down to getting MNK and PLD to 70 and i hate both and want a distraction from the daily roullettes

Why do you spend time leveling sth you hate?
You must not value your free time much...

completionists sake and to continue the stories. That and with an mmo it only takes one major patch to make something unfun fun or vice versa. I used to main NIN for example. I've not touched it after hitting 70 in SB because i dont like how it plays now.

Just have DRG and NIN left to do. Completionist, like you. But I just CBA to do it right now....Usually do it just to make sure I have them all at cap just in case things change in game play and alter the fun factor, but I highly doubt anything will end up taking over DRK, PLD, SMN, RDM, BRD, WHM, and AST because I enjoy all of those classes and those are already capped.

I need this in my life (the fat cat)

So after slogging through eureka anemos pagos and now starting pyros this is how i feel when i step out of camp for the first time.

[AcidicSyn]

So I caved and decided to get back into FF14; some folks in the Anthem thread directed me here.

I haven't played since...well technically just before Stormblood but that was for maybe 3 months. Before that was launch to just about when HW was announced.

Am I right to assume basically...everything is different? Mainly curious about healing; used to main WHM and absolutely loved it.

Any saved posts in here I can check out or links etc for a returning player? I seem to recall the reason I stopped last time was basically I freaked out and ran back to WoW with my tail tucked. (Holy crap is there alot to do now....friend basically dropped me off at palace of the dead and waved /bye )


(Have not bought SB yet want to make sure this isn't just boredom and wowfatigue before buying it so no RDM/SAM for me just yet)

Not really.
Apart from a few added skills and more lenient mana, nothing changed since ARR.

Truly a sign that I got back into the game just in time!

[dope_danny]

Tbh I at least want to try one Melee in this game and it seems Ninja is the one best suited to me. Simple to play, not that positional heavy and it's actually fun once you got the Mudras remembered.

You should have tried it in Heavensward. It was a lot of fun.

The Stormblood design I didn't find interesting at all. They removed some abilities and replaced it with "your auto attacks build up to a single attack or AoE being available so you push that when it's open and otherwise nothing is new" all while the job quest for Stormblood shows you other cool ninja abilities your enemy has that you never get.

I mained NIN from Chains of Ice to the evd of Heavensward and i loved it but boy did Stormblood change it for the worse for me. Now i would say SAM feels a lot better. I didn't like it 50-60 and it felt like a right slog to get through Deep Dungeon but for some reason at lvl60 onwards it just clicked and felt very fun and fluid to play.

Hitting like a goddamn truck with the insanely high raw damage also helped in the questing and daily stuff
