The one thing this game doesn't have is officially implemented Speech bubbles. I see that you are using them in this video, which is very good. The Speech bubble mod is a game changer and i'm sending feedback in game every day to try to get them to notice it. lol. Even having it as an option to turn off for people who don't want it (for some stramnge reason) would be great. As it is now, if you want to RP... it's VERY annoying having to look down and left constantly to see who is talking, it creates a disconnect from your character.

I was also a mythic raider and did high keys, and I love the FFXIV story. Those things are not exclusive. The problem is that the WoW story became so painfully bad on the last few years that you feel stupid for even caring about the lore. Caring about WoW lore is just depressing because the story is gonna go on the worst possible route every time, so you stop caring.

Back in Burning Crusade when I cared about trying PVP. I remember one time when I was druid kitty chasing a resto druid and it was the same thing as in this video.

Agreed, my experience in RO with priest vit is like that. Until the game got monk with their OHKO skill

[@petrus9067]

It's not really a problem its by design. You shouldn't be able to 1v1 kill a healer easily, they need to survive easier to help their team. Bring in 4 dps or even 3 with good CC and the healer goes down if they are alone

[@ecMonify]

@@petrus9067 no, it's definitely a problem... i've always loved pvp, but the same day i hit lvl 50 in Star Wars the Old Republic and tried end-game pvp - where people had a stat which reduced damage taken - and me and another damage dealer fought a healer, and simply COULD NOT kill him, i quit the game. and SWTOR had some of the best pvp i had ever experienced! the pvp between lvl 10-49 was sooo good, seriously i loved that shit :P but one look into high-lvl pvp and the completely busted healers and i was out. in FFXIV, it is virtually impossible to kill a healer as well, at least if you're solo. i want the pvp to be good, but at the moment it's utter trash and in reality pvp in FFXIV is mostly pve-encounters with a side of pvp.

[@Dracounguis]

Yeah the relic weapon user experience... 🤦‍♂️ Where you have to carry around a second weapon so you can turn in your current weapon! Who thought that was an acceptable thing?

[@axis1247]

Well it's pretty reasonable why that happens actually. Classes are tied to the weapon equipped. The game also locks your class/job from changing when in a cutscene/talking to an npc. You can't just have no job and the turn in takes the relic out of your inventory and replaces it. So you need at least 1 other weapon

[@Sephirothll]

FFXIV has many of these hard coded annoyances where it becomes clear that the engine has some heavy limitations. Stuff like item storage are among them, the constant confirming of trivial interactions, the list is long. But all of that is forgiveable by actually being an mmoRPG, at least for me.

[@Heldemon]

[@yzzy8422]

Best video I saw today ^_^ thank you for sharing

[@spacejunk2186]

Zepla calls this a conspiracy, but one simply has to be honest and admit that there are only so man rationalizations you can use to explain this situation. The devs have not been listening to feedback for so long and refused to fix obvious problems until it was too late too many times, there are simply only four explanations left: A) the people at Blizzard are unable to fix things because A.1) they are stupid A.2) only 5 people work on the game at any time at best B) the people at Blizzard are unwilling to fix things because B.1) they think they are the greates game designers ever B.2) they don't respect the players

[@seanwilliams7655]

You forgot "they don't fix things because it's not financially viable to do so". A lot of the things in the game people complain about are there specifically to make you log in at a stead pace. They don't want raid loggers. They want you to log in everyday so they can have good metrics to show to shareholders.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, stated by Sherlock Holmes

[@Skyblade12]

@@seanwilliams7655 The way to avoid raid logging it to make more content to the game than just raids. When we had things like an Artifact fishing pole, class halls that gave unique content for each class, etcetera, people had more to do than just raid log. When all that exists is raiding, people raid log. And when you pad it with non content, people quit.

[@mikkelrw1606]

@@Skyblade12 You have to remember that Legions content pace and amount most likely came from giving up on WoD early

[@Icycrits]

It's not even a conspiracy, Bellular and some others have secret internal contacts within Blizzard and they have straight up come out and said they were going to launch Legion legendaries with the ability to hone in on your legendary of choice, and some of the lead devs came in and said, "whoa, whoa, whoa, no way we're going to do that, it devalues the value of legendaries." They genuinely believed that players would be happy with any legendary they received. Then when the final patch rolled around they released the ability to purchase the legendary you want to the players as a "Fuck you", so that players would come back to the game and realize that they were wrong. Lo and behold, the players actually liked being able to pick their legendary and the devs were ridiculously spiteful and prideful about being proved wrong. This is only one instance of this sort of behavior since Legion, hell since Wrath when they admitted they hated the Valor system, they have made broken systems their business model. They don't want you to have agency, that cuts into profits.

[@Rhodair]

There's a lot about FFXIV PvP that I greatly prefer over WoW - I love the scaling and how it's about skill not gear; it was such a breath of fresh air to realize I could PvP with any job after 30 at _any_ level, whereas in WoW you'd be less inclined to queue at 10-16, 20-26, etc. I prefer things being on a template as there's no dependency on PvE gear or some random trinket or proc that throws off the balance. Ways I'd improve FFXIV's PvP: - lean further into the PvP talent options, triple or quadruple the amount, could increase the available CC through this - add something like PvP levels you get by earning PvP experience but it only goes to a set amount (e.g. level 50) - each level would provide you with additional properties (secondary stats), so for example, you could choose to boost your crit or skill speed while in PvP - more maps and capture the flag

[@VideogamesPang]

PvP actually did use to have those first two things you mentioned. Before Stormblood, there was no scaling or separate kits for PvP, you had your full PvE kit but with slight adjustments, PLUS there was a leveling/talent system on top of that where you could spec into bonus PvP-only abilities. There was lots more CC and it was super technical, gear also made a difference, but that also made it very difficult and inaccessible for new players, especially since you could only PvP at either lvl 50 or 60. The Stormblood PvP revision which changed everything to be standardized stats and separate abilities for PvP made it much easier to understand and jump into, but healers being stupidly OP plus lack of CC means that there's not much room for individual skill and winning in PvP mostly comes down to knowing your role and coordinating with your team. That's ok in its own way, but it still sucks that you need 2-3 people to kill 1 healer. I hate Frontlines and Feast but Rival Wings is actually really fun because there's lots of things you can do besides just bang your head against other players. You can make a difference on your own because of all the different objectives and mechanics like the robots, but it's still a team effort overall.

[@Rhodair]

@@VideogamesPang Oh interesting, didn't realize they had such a revision to separate them. I would've hated it then, and that's not what I'm advocating for. I'm saying keep PvP and PvE completely separate like they are now. I don't want gear or a full PvE kit whatsoever. PvP works better as its own mode. It just needs more iteration on available CC and ways players can customize their job for that mode.

But ye even so I feel like right now we're seeing a lot of people finally severed from their addiction to their first MMO love discover the wonders that is out there. At least, it's how I felt when I finally tried other ones around WoD, and seeing the reactions remind me so much of that. :) It's so wholesome!

[@ZoraKurosagi]

ARR was the perfect start. Shit was slow and we felt like peasants for a bit. Then the game showed us the 2 main threats, who had the cliche destroy the world plan with some extra details. Then the great post arc happened with that CRAZY ending. Then the story just unfolds beautifully from there.

I mean most healers I've played against in the bit of feast I've done will usually panic a bit and won't heal the other party members as often which leads to kills once I quickly switch over after I've built up a burst.

Any friends I usually game with are all but finished with Endwalker. It just isn't the same...... But it's a fantastic game regardless!

[@oopomopoo]

Regarding the quit during ARR vs continue past it, coming from a player who originally quit during ARR, it's the biggest fork in the road for the game. What I mean is that when you go in to the game as an MMO, you keep playing, do the story (hopefully) and once you reach level 50, are like okay cool, first big milestone - what fun content can I do now? Can we do some raids or dungeons for good loot? Where should I level now? Then they get the answer "Catch up your story, you have ~100 more to go before Heavensward." At that point it turns the MMORPG into an RPG that happens to be an mmo. They can't continue grinding and leveling to be with their friends, they have to keep playing the story, and the story is what's halting their progress. They then have to decide do I want to keep playing this game that is forcing me to experience the story, or do I want to play a game that let's me just do gameplay? It's the decision point because it's the reveal of the foundation of the game; the story.

[@sonoskay]

I quit ARR at levels 48. I was quite burnt out at thT time though, post arr is better, but I don't know if I could have pushed through , especially since that was in stormblood and the quest rework had not happened yet. Coming back later because of the glorious jesse cox and not having to redo the 1-50 content again worked out well for me. I'm almost done with 5.0 now. It was a blast.

Many years ago I remember a comedian that had a joke about VCR manufacturers. Something along the lines of, first VCRs had a play and a stop button. But then the new and improved ones had play stop and rewind! And you would buy that one. But then the next version had play stop rewind and slow mo! And you of course had to upgrade to that one. Yeah it's a bad joke but that seems to be how Activision Blizzard programs WoW.

I love that after playing this game everyone becomes a pun lord (or lady).

As a WoW player - I just can't come over as yet - I need my world pvp though. I have FF14 and am a sprout atm. And even though I have people playing FF14 now - I still love world pvp.

Thumbnail relates to 17:00 if you came only for that. Other content is his experience with ff14 as a whole.

The 100 quests to lvl 50 was rough but the extra 100 at 50 before you could even start hw was so boring, but once I got past it the game became very fun and exciting
