Isnt this all kinda too late anyway? Queue times going up a lot, activity dropping - I think the pvp season is mostly over at this point. People got their rewards, got Crystals, and now its so slow...

In every multiplayer team based pvp game ever, ranking up or down has always only been tangentially related to skill. Statistically, about half of the players get unlucky with matchmaking at any...

No, in any system where matchmaking and balance issues can be major factors to decide, you ll have about half the people simply having a worse-than-average luck on this. Its statistics. Since FFXIV...

I think they did it because FFXIV is designed with this philosophy in mind everywhere. Dont stress anyone, every button is equal, every skill level is fine. The whole idea of skill differences...

Old players are not wanted by SE. MMO design has been about chasing the "millions" of supercasual players that are now firmly lodged in Idle games in mobile. If you just simplify, streamline and...

I enjoy these complaints about the dancing pole, supposed furry invasions etc. by puritanical prudes so much! I wish SE would put even more naughty subtext or overt stuff into the game hahaha....

I think SMN just fills the role of the most newcomer friendly caster, with RDM being a step up, and BLM being the advanced magic DPS class.
You can see this pattern in other roles as well. SE seems...

Ah now I am starting to understand. Since DPS is apparently not what anyone wants, but FUN, and since DRK hasnt been fun since Heavensward (which I personally agree with, but the reasons for that...

First impression: Reaper at 90 is quite a dynamic optimization puzzle. Its certainly more complex than SAM or MNK (my previous mains) were in Shb, and more than any of the tanks by a mile. Not sure...

Damage is among the most important aspects when differentiating between tanks. If DRK has DPS as its "special niche" that outweighs the other tanks better defensive capabilities, it will be in EVERY...

Solution to this would be to make dungeons a little bit less autowin. A tough dungeon building up to a big bossfight that really kicks your butt will feel epic real quick. Unfortunately, dungeons are...

I liked Elpis a lot. I actually think that right after we defeat Zodiark, we should skip the entire space bunny bonanza and move directly to Elpis, because its THAT RELEVANT right around that time....

there are ways to make it interesting.
Dispel in certain order, dispel the right targets first for DPS gain, dispel only after a certain event occurred, or before a certain event occured, dispel...

As a major influencer, he sure made a smart move to raise attention and increase engagement. I am sure FFXIV benefitted, even if not by much. Since the WoW audience is significantly larger and more...

Chill, I am still playing the game. But every bit of evidence is supporting my assumed state of the playerbase right now. Of course, you can ALWAYS say that its not true, since SE didnt come out and...

Well I think Bozja vs. Eureka is the perfect example of Shadowbringers vs Stormblood in their 5.1+ lifecycle. Shb started with strong intentions and hype, and fizzled out continously, doing less of...

Not at all. I am one of those who would love to see a focus away from autocomplete/easymode content towards more skill-required stuff, and FFXIV has been moving away from players like me. I dont have...

They really need to step up their game after the 5.x series. Shb release was great, but since then it hasnt been good at all. Stormblood, as of right now, was better with more content! And its...

5.0, 5.3 for the story, and I think Eden is the best raid story yet. The rest of Shadowbringer content patches is SEVERELY lacking. Its like a reverse Stormblood - where the initial launch was...

They cant change it because the "i dont wanna DPS as healer" crowd would go mad for STILL having to push non-healing buttons, the "I want to look cool in the logs" crowd will go insane because they...

Well to be fair, its over a week old by now. Most content outside Savage raids and the occasional extreme for some players is old content after a week. They should have put a lockout ID on it or some...

Ich wäre interessiert. Cierre Mhakaracca, GNB, ilvl 494, E7S down

The thing is, especially when listening to these forums, the most important player is the casual. He doesnt know the meta, often uses half or less of his skills, uses dungeon drops and a mixture of...

Exactly my opinion. White Knights just discard everything by moving the goalposts all day, all ending in "so everything is perfect, and if its not, YOU are wrong and should leave"

Hence instant teleport by clicking on the map is even better in WoW and here. Nobody enjoys time flying, and if they do, they can still fly, but let the rest of the playerbase just get where they...
