State of the game and direction of the game after Seekers of Adoulin are we shutting?

[Tamoa]

Voidwatch fixed Paladin a bit, and now Adoulin has made Paladin essential again. Seekers of Adoulin also fixed Bard and Corsair by making them relevant again.

Red Mage, Summoner, and Dancer still need help, but the developers have restored 3 other jobs that had dropped from glory into obscurity since level 75 days.

Voidwatch didn't "fix" pld at all, the only fights where I probably wouldn't go without a pld in the group would be Morta and Bismarck. Both brd and cor were infinitely more useful for vwnm fights than a pld. Abyssea kind of made brd and cor redundant for a while, but other than that both jobs have always been wanted and needed.

On-topic: I don't even want to look at that roadmap, it really leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. SE has been making promises they seem to be unable to keep, and instead of actually working on keeping these promises, they're giving us stuff like item level.

Just want to say, Aello is probably another of those mobs, maybe some of the T1 NMs for Tav/Aht, might just be me. :x

I've had a nin hold Aello's adds without issues, however you're right about the T1 Tav/Aht mobs, I actually forgot about those since I believe people just do those once for the win and then never again, lol.

yea I have to say I feel ignored, abyssea was added to save game from death an it was awesome then when abys was getting old hat vw was added and game was good again. it seems like delve has been added to keep people interested till xiv comes out because its really not a challenge or even time consuming. I turn on utube and see letters from the producer about ffxiv and cant help thinking ffxi is supposed to die soon and how if this is or isn't the case how nice it would be to get a vid or post to tell us loyalist of fans most around for 6 plus years whats going on, theres no way they don't know the turmoil ffxi is in an yet no response about it, come on SE I love the game show us some love back

I am under the same impression this is the reason why i have stopped joining delve shouts for plasma farming. Last one I join was on Monday 17, I am not longer interested in working on my delve weapon nor my empyream weapons because there is really no point in doing so. Since it just seem to be a distraction until XIV is out.

It just sad that there is not communication with the community other than the usual pointless stuff like Monstrosity, Continuous login Campaign, Eleventh Vana'versary Abyssea and Atma Axtravaganza. do us a favor and make it worth our wile focus on the things that matter to us obviously you have been doing it wrong. SOA seems to have potential it started up right when to wrong as soon as they out power R/E/M now they have a lot of people that stock around and worked there delves up to max and will be out power once again by R/E/M. there is got to be away for them to notice the community is annoyed with them.

UI Revamp {Where?}

I actually like the loot system for delve, they just need to add a way of farming plasm that is either a) not trash mobs (for people who aren't at the level of doing super bosses, I mean!) and or b) in smaller groups. It's so painfully boring to do plasm farms now I am not motivated to do them at all.

[Pebe]

Alot of people keep saying Delve isn't challenging, but have you actually went and tried the bosses? They are pretty challenging. The way delve was supposed to play out was in three different stages. Stage 1, beat the T1-T3 NMs and farm plasm for armor. Stage 2, beat the T4 and T5 NMs, and farm plasm for weapons. Stage 3, put all your effort into beating the bosses. The majority of people stopped after beating the T4-T5 NMs and didn't even attempt the bosses. The bosses are what is the most time consuming and challenging of the delve content, but a lot of people feel like they can't be bothered because the spike in difficulty is too high, when that was the whole point. They then say they are bored with delve, or completed the delve content without really tackling the largest part of said content.

Furthermore, in the next update coming out soon, we will have the following the remainder of the Seeker's of Alduin zones and wildkeepers released(Well probably except the seventh special one). A big part of the story released. Artifact weapons and gear for the new jobs, merits for the new jobs. 5 new sets of armor from skirmish v2, whose content lvl is higher than delve t1 NMs. Weapons which will be augmentable comparable to delve weapons. The elemental magic update, and i forget what else, that is all of the top of my head.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make by mentioning the above is that SE was focusing on releasing the rest of the expansion first. With the areas fully realeased, I'm sure SE will have much more time/resources to work on other things they promised. For instance, the update following this coming update I expect SE to make good on a lot of their promises. IE: Relic upgrades, new summons, new 2hrs, bst and smn upgrades (might be coming in this update coming soon), monstroity, tier 3 merits etc, more storyline, and perhaps the final seventh wildkeeper. There will also probably be delve v2 in the new areas.

I don't know what the hell the thread title is trying to say. Can I have it again in standard English, please?

Add 'down?' at the end, makes sense.

State of the game and direction of the game after Seekers of Adoulin, are we shutting down?
