I imagine that's why they waited so long to do it. The cutscenes and story at the beginning wasn't that bad, but then I finally get into the game and have to spend 45 minutes doing a bunch of mundane tasks. It takes forever to get to any actual combat, and by then I didn't care. If I had paid for the game, I'd have probably been a lot more willing to put more time into it. The trial certainly gave me a bad first impression of the game. If it ever goes free to play, I'd maybe give it another chance.

[Anonymous No.]

This game is some boring shit. Probably because I don't have any friends to play with? Probably. I don't think that having friends would help me actually have the patience to level up fishing or cooking.
Played it during the beta, came back to try out fishing, wasn't impressed.

>>12381198
Yeah, I bought it on a whim, had never played their previous MMO. Like you said, I paid, I would suffer through my first month to see if it gets better. Fortunately for me it did.

Yep.
Playing pretty casually though as Hunts exploded my coil group because "Why do something fun that takes effort when you can do something effortless and entirely devoid of fun and gear up faster" and my other friends who are pretty casual are still stuck on T5, and trying to get them a clear has been nothing but a case of watching randoms get hit by divebombs and fuck us over for an hour until we all give up as there's only 5 of us.

Aside from that I basically just log in, do my expert roulette and daily treasure map and log out currently. Maybe 2.35 will add a bit more to that and allow me to finish gear my main and alts by making daily hunts worth the effort but I'm not holding my breath.

>even the /vg/ thread

Those /vg/ MMO generals always turn into an avatarfagging circlejerk, and it's usually a good idea to stay away from those guilds, unless of course you like that kinda stuff. That doesn't mean that all 4chan guilds are shit, though. The /a/+/jp/ TFT in on LoT was quite awesome, for example.

As for Balmung, yes, there's a bunch of RP FCs there, but they have nearly no impact on the other people there. You can occasionally hear them RP in /say, but that's it.

And to be honest, even as a non-RPer, I'd rather have a RPer in my party instead of your average "hurr-durr omglol XDXDXDXD" tardmonkey

I gave up playing this game when I got stuck finding party for the last stretch of main quests. I tried forming a party for WEEKS with no success. The most members I could gather was six.
Why can't they make all of the main quests soloable so people who prefer to play solo can still enjoy the story?

It also doesn't help that my legacy master race friends who we almost cleared Rivenroad Hard with basically don't play much anymore or work irregular hours every week.

Though, it's probably for the best we didn't clear Rivenroad Hard all things considered.

Because you're playing a fucking MMO, not a single player game. Nothing personal against you, but people who want to solo everything in a MMO are the cancer that's killing the genre.

2.3 patch I think. It's probably still bad.

I would recommend just making a group in party finder and asking for help. It's really easy and fast, you just need like 3-4 geared people and the rest can just be there to fill spots. There's a lot of people that just sit around afk all day with nothing to do and will help out of boredom.

I'm not really mad about thief being called rogue. It's the fact that rogue is a class (which is useless) and ninja is the job. I guess to most people it's just splitting hairs, but I don't want to be a ninja. I want to be a thief/rogue. After being a career thief in XI, it just feels weird.

I am sure this sounds petty, but to me it matters. Does anyone know if it's going to be rotation-based like other dps jobs, or is it going to be more reactive? Either way, I hope you guys are having fun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12389158
You can't have a reactive dps class. The entire point of dps is to press buttons is a certain order to maximize your dps.
A healer is really the only reactive role to play, as you sometimes have downtime and times where people are dropping like flies.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12389181

Well I thought if it was doing something with aggro management, it might have a reactive element. It was just a thought, but I get what you're saying. It's why I leveled white mage and scholar, and stopped dragoon after getting blood for blood. I was going to use it for other dps jobs, but I got so bored that it never happened.

I guess I'm just used to aggro management and tanking when I think of thief.

Yessir. I enjoyed turning others into temporary tanks, or just tanking things myself. I understand that XIV is its own game, but I'm hoping that ninja gets some cool abilities related to this sort of thing. I think XIV's potential is there, but I just can't get into hard-rotations, you know?

I played the trial, it was the first MMO I've played in years and I enjoyed it a lot. But I can't bring myself to pay monthly to play, it just feels like a scam, a waste of money (before you say anything about spending in other things, I have absolutely zero expenses and just save 100% of what little money I irregularly get). But on the other hand I've not had this fun with a game in a long time... please help me overcome this psychological barrier.

If you enjoyed the first 20 levels you'll probably enjoy the rest of the game. It will keep you entertained for a couple of months at least. After that it depends how hardcore you're into endgame in mmo's.

>>12389713
You mean the positioning for the last phase of the fight? The tornado part? Start at NW, circle to E, move to center when tornadoes disappear. Fight in the center and all that stuff. When the vortex disappears move S and circle to NW. You're back where you started and you repeat until she's dead.

What bothers me most in these mmo's is the lack of common sense in the quests.
If someone is injured, why do I have to go on a huge quest chain when I have eight different healing spells and infinite mana to use them out of combat?

So many /jp/sies who want to play but can't afford to buy the game and pay the subscription fee. Do you think if I paid for them I could get my own harem?

I can see it now...my very own mansion filled with maids who serve me! They would hang out around the house all day and their job would be to look cute. Of course they would have to be able to go out and do raids and fight dangerous monsters. We need to stock the house with rare furniture, after all.
I would make them pass on rare loot and give it to me. After all, they should be happy to give it to their master. They can divide the leftovers amongst themselves.
I would make each of them level a craft and give the profits to me. If they disobey me they risk losing their character! A servant doesn't need money!
I would also occasionally take them into town to show them off and let everyone know they belong to me!
But I must also give them praise once in a while, tell them they did a good job and maybe a reward. But only once in a while! I don't want to spoil them.

Yes, each day would be fun if I had my very own friends to play together with.

Well, around 35 daily notes is what I expected them to change it to so I can't really complain about it being 32 aside from not just increasing everything by a factor of 5 across the board.

Well yeah but one every three weeks is better than nothing. Dailies are done in maybe an hour and don't make me want to turn the game off and jam pins into my eyes. Though considering how much damage has been done ~70 seals a day would've been better.

Hopefully they learned from this and go back to launch style for tomes rather than submit to the ass devastated turbo nerds who cried that casuals could have the same iLvl as them without doing Coil.

I just finished the story quests at level 50 today. I felt bad for the party of 7 other people with me since I didn't know you could watch the events back again in the inn and I was holding everyone back to watch them.

Honestly I'd wish they removed any incentive from CM and Prae for players, queue times be damned. Those two single instances were so enjoyable for me back at release with new players. The music, the bosses, the cutscenes, all of it was really exciting and genuinely felt epic. Now every person getting into the game has to suffer through those instances with impatient faggots and intense whining. You only experience that 'first time' feeling once, being rushed through with faggots yelling at you while you have no fucking idea what is going on is not enjoyable. Watching cutscenes back in your inn to understand what the fuck just happened is not enjoyable. Hell, the inn cutscenes don't even show your party so stuff like the final cinematics look very lonely. You should enjoy your cinematics, not feel guilty for holding anyone back.

I did CM/prae during the first week and it was really fun. But the only reason it was so fun was because everybody was new and we had no idea what the fuck was going on. Everyone had shitty gear and had no idea how mechanics worked.

The only way for someone to experience that "first time feeling" now would be to find 7 other people who are also new. Good luck with that.

Even if it sounds mean, I don't think 7 other people should wait and be held back by a new player just because he wants to watch every cutscene. Especially if it's through the duty finder. I don't remember the exact time but someone timed the cutscenes and it was something crazy like 40 minutes if they were to watch everything. I wouldn't want to sit through that when I'm doing the dungeon for the 50th time and just want to get it over with.

They should just be happy they got carried and got the story dungeons out of the way so they can move on.

Anyway, there's always a big debate about that on the official forums. If they were to remove the rewards nobody would ever do the story dungeons and the new players would be stuck. Like that one anon who quit because he couldn't find people to do cape westwind.

Well that's the point I'm getting at. There's more fresh 50's than you may think and with shit like the recent summer holidays, the recruit a friend stuff and the game in general just showing up more and more in various places (news about the 1st anniversary etc.) I've seen countless newbies running around on Moogle. Each data center has about 10 severs, the queue time wouldn't be THAT bad all things considered. Cape Westwind has no outside influence from roulettes or anything and the queue time for that isn't overly excessive last time I checked.

As for holding back part - that's the annoying part of Prae/CM. Half of the group could be new and watching cutscenes and it doesn't matter, you only need a few people to clear those instances, especially when they just rush through it all. This means the people watching cutscenes aren't holding them back but rather by the time they're done watching their cutscenes they're locked out the fights... which really sucks. Right now it's a tradeoff - You either watch cutscenes and miss all the fights or experience the fights and have no fucking idea what is going on for these fights to be happening in the first place.

In my average Prae/CM runs I'd say cutscenes add about 5-10 minutes to the run. These are story orientated dungeons with ZERO drops or anything so why should the players trying to experience the story from the dungeon, as was intended, be penalised? It just makes no sense to me at all. I just wish some people would get some patience. It doesn't even apply to only CM/Prae either, near enough every single piece of content these days is SPEEDRUN OR VOTE DISMISS PLS. What happened to taking it easy?

That is why I dropped FF XIV

That is just fucked up design. Why the fuck they filled dungeons with these long cinematics, and you can only skip them?

This is retarded. They wanted to compromise single player and mmo aspects and figured out, that this will work?

Well it's nor working. Fuck this shit.
I care for the story mostly and with shit like this I am not enjoying this game. When I want to experience this game like a proper final fantasy and i got this dudes spamming "omg man skip cutscenes we need to faceroll faster".

Cape Westwind is part of Trial Roulette.

It's an easy workaround honestly but I just wish the problem wasn't there to begin with. Either grab some friends, grab some random FC members or set up a PF looking for a few people to join you. You can then all enjoy watching cutscenes in peace with other people or with others who don't mind helping/waiting.

>>12414832

Ah, my bad. Thinking about it now it was actually part of low level roulette which is utterly stupid since it required 8 people to be 49+, using low level roulette and not get assigned to another instance. I've been doing trial roulettes every day since it was added to trials and I've yet to see it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12414788
It is a fucked up design and SE has learned from it, I think.

It's not like it's the last time you're going to do those dungeons anyway. Come back when you're doing them for the 3rd, 5th, or 10th time and see if you still want to watch the cutscenes.

Besides, what kind of nerd plays MMO's for the story?

Watching cutscenes back at your inn completely destroys the experience. It's nice to have the option to go back and watch cutscenes, which is what that functionality is for, but using it as an excuse to make people feel like utter shit for enjoying a story driven game by watching their cutscenes on their first run of a dungeon is just silly.

>>12415346

Some groups are chill. Some are patient. Some are fine with waiting. Then there's some filled with utter asshats and people who refuse to wait longer than 5 seconds, people who, as a dps class, will pull the boss alone and lock out half the group purely because they're impatient. It's extremely annoying at times.

[Anonymous No.]

the cool endgame story kind of necessitates having a static group to get very much much fun out of it i feel (coil etc)
and if you have a group like that you can easily get a cutscene run of castrum/praetorium. if you don't, then there's not a whole lot of fun waiting for you on the other side anyways tbh... i mean there's the ongoing "hard" primal stuff that's easy to duty find but...

it sounds mean but like, mmos are kind of inherently built as social games? there are plenty of problems with this game but it being better with friends/associates isn't one of them

[Anonymous No.]

It's only the last 2 story dungeons that have long cutscenes anyway. Don't think the rest of endgame is like that. After that you only have to worry about getting yelled at for not being able to dodge stuff in endgame fights!

>>12416142
You can get other people to help you with those dungeons so you can watch the cutscenes and stuff, but that doesn't mean the fights will be the same. Unless the ones helping you are also new, they will probably be geared and just faceroll all the bosses.

You will never experience what CM/Prae was like when it was launch and everybody was doing them for the first time ;_;
