good ol talking behind others back is it?
anyway they dont pay your sub so why should i take their advice
i just add them to the ignore list which is account wide
Yeah, because they get banned if they do it to your face in FFXIV. I see the stuff being typed in my FCâs discord from time to time and itâs no different than how people behave in WoW, just not to peopleâs face.
well two of them were direct with their advice as a harsh form of criticism of whatever you call it in the raid chat
but most of those players who queue for the dungeons/trials/raids i meet are solo players with no FC/guilds so it is impossible to talk behind your back without fc and their discord
and ones who are in one only say hi/hey and gg after boss dies or ask for mechanics as a first time player
what they got mad about is that someone can do a simple mistake it happens
those two who tried to criticise me were the rare case of such players
are there not people who did/do this in m+ keys before leaving them
Which is kinda ironic since FFXIV is currently going through its longest pve content drought of almost a full year. People who recently switched just donât realise because theyâre new.
Said no one ever.
I mean for the top players in 14 the content drought start literally a week after a new patch.
This is one thing I will have to disagree with. PVP in FF14 works. That is the highest praise I can give it. Honestly it barely works but whatever. The gameplay in pvp is not smooth and jobs are absolutely not balanced in pvp.
And letâs not even get started on the tab targeting system in FF14. In pve you donât really notice it because you mostly fight against one enemy at a time. But in pvp hoo boy. When you have more than 3 targets on the screen the tab targeting just gives up and goes off the screen to buy some liquor and rarely does what you want it to do.
I mean I will sing praises for FF14 for pve, I will compliment it for storytelling and casual activities but pvp is one thing I will never praise it for. Pvp in FF14 is dreadful.

PvP there is different game with different skills and everything, no? So character development in âmain gameâ wonât even matter there.
Yes, you just need to get to level 30 with a class and equip a job crystal and you are good to go. All the stats are pre-set and you get all new skills and spells to work with. It does work but itâs honestly a pretty shallow experience plagued with technical issues.
Having separate pvp toolkit is not so bad imo. That way they can balance either side without affecting the other.
They why not just go to PvP in dota or whatver, lol. FF and FF PvP is almost as different.
nah, theyâll say it to your face under the veneer of; âoh, Iâm just trying to helpâ
Like tell the healer to do some DPS while they struggle to keep the whole group alive.
Then get their noses put out of joint when the healer argues back.

Valid, but that is just down to what you -choose- to wear. Some WoW armour does indeed look absolutely dire (Vanilla and TBC Hunter gear I remember looking absolute rubbish)
But thatâs why we now have Transmog, and you -can- make your character look good.
Ehh, that would be kind of cool, the hair thing, canât think of any of my characters I would use it on⌠Deciding your height would be interesting, for example Brigante is supposed to be short for a male Sinâdorei, at only 5â5" but itâs just such a faff with size items in WoW. Body sliders isnât a selling point either, The games I have played with them, when you actually make the character, donât look like they do when you -play- the character SWTOR being one of the best examples. The character generation bore no resemblance to the end result. I have heard from people who play FF that it too, has not escaped that curse.
Is that a good thing though? I mean werenât people complaining about oversaturation of NPCâs and their interaction with the player character, or did that go out of fashion when Streamers jumped ship? I mean why would you? Why would Brigante spend time with Jaina, he wants her to hang for War Crimes, Thrall is frankly way above his pay grade as a Ranger-Captain to talk to, plus they wouldnât have much in common apart from both being married with a kid/s Malfurion wouldnât really interest Brigante, and Brigante would be an ant to Malfurion, sure the Farstriders may be the vestiges of Druidic magic left to the Sinâdorei, but theyâre not -actual- druids. Sylvanas would have been his boss, up until the Scourge invasion, but then she was -everyone in the militaryâs boss!- And now he hates her. Tyrande? Brigante has no reason to hate her personally, but heâs pretty sure she would hate him and kill him for being Horde.
So why is that sort of interaction with NPCâs necessarily a healthy thing? Donât get me wrong, I liked knocking around with Flynn Fairwind in BfA, but he would do my nut in if I was over exposed to him. I loved the âBuddy Copâ movie that was the Sinâdorei heritage armour quest, you and Lorâthemar being absolutely kick-bottomâŚ
Sounds awful. I realise the irony of a Voice Actor saying that sounds awful, but that does sound awful, and is one of the major criticisms I have heard from friends who play FF. Too many cutscenes, that frankly outstay their welcome and shouldnât be necessary. You donât mind them at the end of an expansion, or a cinematic moment. The Wrathgate? Perfect, the death of Arthas, again, perfect. If the game needs that much exposition -in game- then it is flawed writing. Before anyone says âAhh, but all the Blizzard novelsâ These are things that happen off scene or between expansions, not forced dialogues/monologues.
They should be able to convey this in game, rather than needing a five minute cutscene, as that implies they have not worked hard enough at their world building. Which is sadly a failing that FF games has always had. Anybody else remember Red XIII racing through a canyon with his two young cubs at the end of FF7? How? Who with? There were no others of his species alive, he was one of a kind, there could have been no mother to their cubs, so what, is Red XIII (My favourite character) supposed to have reproduced by parthogenesis?
Yes to both, valid points that FF has over WoW.
No, instead you get Japanese puritanism and a disturbing amount of Chinese puritanism as well⌠Just as a reminder, both cultures are veryâŚrestrictive with regards the rights of women
Itâs actually the opposite. Theyâre not body-shaming femininity, theyâre just not objectifying it. Come on, everyone must remember those pictures of scantily clad maleâs in game right? right? Someone must remember. Surely someone? No?
No, it does not. Which is productive of many problems. Lot of FFXIV characters would have serious difficulties walking to the corner shop to get their groceries, let alone fighting world ending threats. Lot of them apparently end up doing some shady stuff that makes Goldshire look tame. But hey, thirsty teenagers are going to be thirsty and whack that breast slider up.
Have you ever seen an Orgrimmar Grunt? Or the leather harness vendor in the Valley of Honour?
Doesnât sound great, to be honest. Card Games? You can do that whenever you like, Mount Racing? Can do that whenever you like, Jumping Puzzles? What is this, 1982? It was hateful back then! Whack a Mole? Yeah, can do that.
Mate, mate, Iâve been doing LARP for 30 years now. What youâre describing to me as âimmersionâ is not immersion in the slightest. Itâs dumbed down. It isnât Immersion. for a start. It isnât narrative, as you need it explaining to you, and it isnât personal expression, because you have no more or less personal agency in the game, than you do in WoW.
So why donât FF players get off their high horse and realise that their game is not the all-singing, all-dancing saviour of MMORPGâs (Especially when the company supporting it is responsible for death camps, but hey, itâs OK if it is the MSS doing it!)
So yeah, lot of rubbish being talked about FF, and it really is not as great as people say, and is -highly- morally questionable. I donât think I could play it and keep a clean conscience.
Did youâŚever play those games? I mean, FF7 was amazing, but by the standards of today, it was absolutely rubbishâŚlikeâŚreally badâŚ
Sad but true.
Sheep following StreamersâŚwho could have seen -that- comingâŚ
Thatâs where you went wrong. Itâs a damned game. You shouldnât need a Streamer to inspire you to do anything! You have your own mind! Use it! You donât need to be told what to think!
Any âgameâ that is not being played by âcasualsâ is being played by lackwit no-lives who allow the game to play them, rather than them playing the gameâŚ
And PvP is for weaklings who wouldnât have the stones to actually fight someone. Generalisation is easy, no?
Was a late teen early twenties in the 90âs, I can confirm this is absolute rubbish and not true.
Or as we used to call themâŚâComputer gamesâ.
The instant I see someone using the term âCasualâ I kind of laugh, itâs likeâŚâWhat, are you playing the game as a job? WowâŚseriously, are you not playing it as casual relaxation? Because like, I work for a living, this is my casual entertainment, are youâŚare you seriously saying you regard this as your professional career? Maaan, how damaged are you?â âIâm playing this seriously!â
âNo, itâs a computer game man!â âNo, I am playing it seriously, with rules, if you donât like the rules, you can leave!â
âYeah, I think Iâll leave, because you sound like a bit of a jeb end, and I work for a living, so this is my relaxation time, you sound like you live in your mumâs basement and write poetry that makes people cry and draw pictures of women with daggers for eyesâŚI think Iâll stick to casual if thatâs all the sameâŚâ
Casual=gamer.
Simple as.
Yes, or pure 1v1 games such as Starcraft 2.
that happened to me too they ty to âhelpâ but its not really help
ah you got me all wrong brigante i was still playing the trial when watching her play
and so i chose to subscribe too get shb and add gametime cards from the store to keep playing
it seems odd in my country the video game stores got no delivery of wow gametime cards lately none at all can anyone say why is that?
They recently removed the 1month game time option, not sure about game time cards.
Did you really play it? Because you get a ton of abilities without GCD that you press between GCD bites. )) You didnât know that, did you?
The problem with combat in FF is not GCD. Itâs something else entirely - predictability, if I had to be short. But you donât know that because you didnât play it. ))
The people who only play FF14 do not expect me who has been tempered by the openly toxic people in WoW and LoL.
So I WILL argue back and i WILL tell them to focus on what theyâre doing and not what Iâm doing (since theyâre clearly not paying attention to the whole groupâs health yoyo-ing anyway)
