Trust should go up to trails

Trusts are cool. If one doesn't like them fine but personally I've used trusts to clear all my shb's mains story dungeons. I've also leveled all my trust members on two of my toons leveling roles and learning to use those I don't play very often. It's a cool addition and i personally hope they expand them to other duties.

I have mixed feelings about expanding them to raids but as I've mentioned before and which as been brought up trying to queue for Story Raids can be pretty problematic from the point of queue times. I think there are enough Story Raids to potentially make a roulette for them to solve some of the participation issues.

As someone who DOES have 7+ friends in the game, they are more than happy to clear story trials with me when I ask for help. Hell, I make events out of it and people place bets on if and when I will die in the trial since I do it blind. It tends to be a really silly time. LOL

But for those that need to rely on others to clear them, Queuing in duty finder is super slow, especially for a DPS. Party finder is where it is at. Just make a request on there and it will fill. Note: how FAST it fills will be very dependent on server times. Prime time-fast Dead time- NOT so fast.

Will they do Trial trusts? Well first they need to make an AI that can handle 7 characters properly dealing with all those trial mechanics and putting out enough DPS that it does not take forever to do.

You misunderstand. Those raids people used to solo are not lvling content at all. They were the endgame of previous expansions. They're not going back to solo group content they skipped in the lvling experience because it's not content used for or intended to be for xp gain. It never was. There aren't even roulettes you can use to do these old raids. They are completely irrelevant when it comes to xp gain. It's just like how savage and ex difficulty content in FFXIV isn't used to gain xp.

I agree it's up to a person what they do but the point is in WoW you will get to a stage in which your options are very slim if you want to continue to play solo at max lvl. The devs clearly want players to team up otherwise they wouldn't lock so much content behind teamplay. That Blizzard didn't even make sure that a popular solo activity would survive the lvl squish just shows how much they value solo play. Which clearly isn't a lot.

While FFXIV does force you to team up in order to lvl up your first combat class the truth is the single player experience in this game is given much more thought than in WoW.

• Their version of other factions to get reputation with (beast tribes in FFXIV) is often very barebones in story and have less cosmetic rewards than FFXIV. This has recently improved but it's still not on FFXIV's level. However some require group content to complete the questlines.
  
• The crafting and gathering can be done solo like in FFXIV but it can hardly be called content at all. You gather the materials with one button and craft them with one button. There are no crafting and gathering classes and almost no quests for them which means no story, no rotations, no gear and literally no brain needed. FFXIV has a separate character progression system for crafting and gathering, WoW does not.
  
• Class quests are something they had in Legion but it has been abandoned in the latest expansion and most of the expansions had little to no class quests.
  
• It is very rare for WoW to introduce max lvl story content that isn't somehow connected to gearing up for endgame, whereas this is common in FFXIV.
  
• Trusts don't even vaguely exist.
  
• Their version of the Gold Saucer is only available to attend during specific times of the month and the games there aren't as sophisticated as they are in FFXIV.
  
• The only form of housing is barely even considered to be housing because it's a garrison that has very little customisation. You don't even get your own bed. It has also received almost no updates since the expansion that introduced it, which was several years ago.
  
• You can't even solo old raids anymore to get glam, mounts and minions.

This isn't to say WoW has no consistent solo content that isn't all about character combat, it does have pet battles and archaeology, and I personally miss the pet battles a lot, but it's still not comparable to the solo content FFXIV offers.

I'm not trying to say WoW is bad. What I'm saying is that by focusing only on combat class xp gain and making WoW seem like the better game for solo players, it means ignoring that FFXIV has a wealth of content for solo players that is entirely absent in WoW.

A strong reason why I left WoW behind in favour of this game is because of the huge amount of engaging solo content in FFXIV.

So yea while WoW does let you get to max lvl with zero group content, the solo content it has in general is very lacking when compared to FFXIV.

I wouldn't mind if we could get Trusts to help with the MSQ Trials...

As matter of fact, with the patch 5.5, the current composition of the Scions would allow flexible filling for a 8-man if we had another candidate for dpser, because if you'd go as a healer, that would still be missed.

Unless it's a similar case like when you get Lyna as a temporary Trust to fill the gap.

I've had my fair share of terrible co healers since 5.5 release, so I wouldn't mind if they could just stick to this extended bot content and never touch DF again.

My wife has issues playing new content with other people because she is the type that doesn’t want a guide to tell her what to do and will absolutely die a few times her first time encountering a new mechanic. She also gets super nervous and freaks out (often leading to her death).

Until the trust system came out, she only ever did content exclusively with our small closely knit group and wouldn’t even attempt any raids unless required for MSQ.

Now, because of the trusts, she can “practice” and has actually gotten very good at the 5.0 content/knowing mechanics.

In addition to all of that long winded story time, if you are seriously comparing a trust party to competent PCs...I don’t know what to say. Trusts get the job done but it’s agonizingly slow.

To;dr: not liking trusts is fine, you do you. Calling them cancer? Bit disingenuous.


FFXIV is not a “git gud” mmorpg. It’s Pirates of the Caribbean.. or Small World. Everyone waits in line, gets on the boat, goes through the set pieces together. Very little about this game is meant to be challenging, and we like that.

I think we should get Trusts for frontlines or ranked PvP as well.

I never said anything about it being git gud, and good for your wife, but its still a system that should only be in dungeons imo, people are rather nice and making your own communities should be encouraged. Not having it automated it for every little thing. MMOs should cater to creating interaction, not reducing it, the system reduces it, it redeuces people working together to figure things out. Its a system that should be done away with as a whole. ANd if thats considered *getting gud* sucks having to work with others is now considered being hardcore or asking too much. But the bar was never high to begin with.

Gather/Craft Subs/Airships would be cool too :P

Trust parties for Diadem. Get Tataru out of the Rising Stones for some fresh air.

All in all the Trust system doesn't fix the core problem that plagues 14. It's a bandaid at best, and detrimental at worst. But, by all means continue to chant for the never ending nerfs and watering down to continue.

So what core problem is this?

Certain people being unwilling to take any sort of criticism and improve their play, especially these days when the game has never been more accessible. Instead the moment they encounter any content that requires a bit of effort they start crying for nerfs. See Steps of Faith, Final Steps, Shinryu (on SB launch), or Orbonne.

I think said reactions to criticism stems from the early days when people had to defend themselves for playing 1.0 and ARR, all those people from back then got their friends into FF, and thus the cycle started, its a learned behavior at this point. And now the community reaction is to be scared of the game possibly being seen in a negative light.

And to top that off change isnt bad, but the moment it goes against being more then a social sim, more then a second life situation (at least in my experience) many people suddenly crack and lash out, and all I said was stand in the star or dont go out of healing range. Or, I wish they didnt nerf a lot of fights, they were fun prior, but if I say that then I'm toxic, but I actually miss seeing the mechanics from several HW trial and SB trials, but thats apparently not considering the new players thus toxic and elitist.

This. It's possible they may start further testing 8-man Trusts MSQ trials. I actually wouldn't mind this. It was a nice touch seeing the NPCs react to things in their own way, and you get to see (some) mechanics completed as well. Definitely helps my anxiety going through one slow run with Trusts, then transitioning to playing with other PCs.

And for those people thinking they'll add it to EXs, Savage, and Ultimate. Yeah, fat chance. Those are made to be cleared by real PCs, not AI. And I would say it would only become a thing well after the game is on it's last life-line; similar to how FFXI has cute little NPCs to help you through content.

That's a problem faced by all multiplayer games and nothing SquareEnix or any other company does will solve that problem.

That's a problem only those who can't take criticism can fix.

I don't think Trusts were put in to solve that problem.

They were likely put in to help players who play during off peak times get through the MSQ or those who play DPS avoid long queue times as well.

I understand all of that, but it doesn't change what I said because...

---

... I wasn't really comparing the two games. My point is simply to use an example of a popular MMORPG to show how "mmos" don't necessarily have to encourage teamplay anymore. It doesn't mean that the game doesn't have group content, but if you want to play it solo, you can very well do so.

With that said, I will say something about this part:

Quote:

---

[*]It is very rare for WoW to introduce max lvl story content that isn't somehow connected to gearing up for endgame, whereas this is common in FFXIV.

---

I would disagree with that statement.

Max level story content includes:

Max-level MSQ - includes mandatory dungeons and trials, requires gearing up for endgame and grouping up (outside of TRUST) until you can solo them in future expansions.

Alliance raid story quest - includes mandatory raids, requires gearing up for endgame and grouping up, even just to enter the instances in future expansions.

Trial series story quest - includes mandatory trials, requires gearing up for endgame and grouping up until you can solo them in future expansions.

Regular raid story quest - includes mandatory raids, requires gearing up for endgame and grouping up until you can solo them in future expansions.

Relic weapon story quest - may or may not require gearing, but definitely encourages grouping up for at least parts of them.

Those are, I think, the main max level story quests in FFXIV. Other side max level story quests may or may not require grouping up or gearing.

With WoW, it's important to note that dungeons and raids are not always required to continue the story. Or they may be required at the beginning, but then become optional later in the same expansion. So the only gearing required for endgame for story purposes is to deal with the scaling done to the open world enemies or specific quest-related enemies.

I didn't say that FFXIV doesn't have a lot of max lvl quests tied to pve progression I said that unlike WoW FFXIV frequently give max lvl quests that are not tied to it. WoW rarely gives max lvl quest content that isn't tied to pve progression. Don't confuse "frequently gives quests unattached to max lvl pve progression" for "gives mostly only quests unattached to max lvl pve progression" because they are not the same thing. I didn't say what you think I said.

Hildibrand, the quests that are chained to role quests, Doman Enclave and the Scholasticate quest line to name some examples of max lvl quests that are not attached to pve progression. WoW very rarely offers quests like this, FFXIV has in every expansion.

EDIT: just want to add in case anyone is confused, I support Trusts being expanded to msq trials, I just don't think it's going to happen soon. I think we would sooner see the Trusts being expanded to the rest of the 4 man content first considering it already works fine for 4 man content and there are significantly more of those to do than trials. And well we have no idea if SE even fancy the idea of adding Trusts to anything above 4 man, maybe we will see some comment about it in May.

I was using WoW as a response to your statement, not to compare it to FFXIV.

Quote:

---

---

In one sense, fair enough. But I think that's more because WoW has more of a focus than FFXIV. But, I think that focus is more one-sided. I was casually playing WoW at endgame without doing much of the PVE progression. Just like in FFXIV, how much you need to progress depends on the kind of content that you want to do. But WoW didn't really have much of a MSQ until recently, and the MSQ in FFXIV at least requires you to progress to the point of being able to enter the last required group content in the expansion.

Anyways, this is more of a tangent to the teamplay discussion.

And yes, glad to see more support for TRUST. Although I do see the point of making trials easier to accommodate TRUST, but I think that normal trials aren't really for farming anyway, outside of being run in a roulette, and it wouldn't impact extreme versions. And it also depends on the AI technology, which should improve over time.

I think it's more correct to say that both games do not focus on the same things. WoW famously pushes their high-end pve content as a major feature while FFXIV pushes their story content as a major feature. Both are valid. Neither type of content is better or worse than the other, it's about what a player personally prefers. There are players who enjoy both types of focuses and do play both games, they're just attracted to them for different reasons. Variety is nice to have. (and I'm quite disappointed that I still don't enjoy the direction WoW is going in because I'd love to have another mmo I enjoy to play on the side, I was looking forward to New World launching but that has been postponed D': )

I think the ai would have to be more sophisticated for trials for the simple fact that trials typically have mechanics that are more complex than dungeons and mistakes are less forgiving. Dunno about you but I have seen Trust npcs mess up mechanics by standing in telegraphs due to pathing issues. I think they would have to fix that first before expanding Trusts to bigger parties than 4 man.

And like I said there are significantly more 4 man msq instances than msq trials, so just for covering a lot of content it would make sense for SE to prioritise 4 man content first.

I actually quite enjoy Trusts when I want to do a dungeon but I'm in a super chill mood or I'm just curious to see what little bits of lore are hidden in them. I just wish the required xp gains on the npcs to lvl up wasn't so ludicrously high. But I suppose it might be like that because SE don't want players to rely on Trusts too much? It is possible that this is the intention considering they still haven't addressed that and it's the end of the expansion now. But players only need to complete msq content once to progress so it's not a huge issue and they're always available when you have a newly unlocked msq dungeon, and there are other avenues for xp when lvling up other classes.

This has been a sad year for me as I finally decided to quit both WoW and SWTOR (and I was playing the latter only for story, but unlike in FFXIV, there is no reason to gear up or to team up, so there was nothing for me to do in between story patches, which are also not as predictable as FFXIV).

I don't really like PVP-focused MMORPG, which I think New World was supposed to be, though I also heard they backtracked a bit on that. Ashes of Creation also seems to be like that. PSO2 NGS might be worth a try, or this SoLO game I've been hearing about, though Gameforge, so ugh.

How do you feel about the TRUST experience in the Bozja intro quest? I think that was a good start.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to have FFXIV. It's my favorite BY FAR even when I also was playing other MMORPGs.

It's just that, when people like to mention other games, it's nice if I know what they're talking about. Even now, I feel like I can't even speak much on current WoW much longer since I never got past the leveling experience in Shadowlands, so all of my experience at max level is based on BfA, (though I'm pretty sure what I've said in this thread still applies.).

And honestly, as someone who likes story, getting to know about the stories in other MMORPGs does have its charm. It's just other things about other games make me not want to continue playing them, even for the story.

They did. Initially they had pvp constantly enabled and what happened was players found themselves unable to progress in the game due to constantly getting ganked. The game just turned into a spiteful pvp mess. It was clear that this path wasn't doing the game any favours. I didn't play it at that point because like you I just don't have interest in a pvp focused mmorpg. I played it after they removed forced pvp and I really enjoyed it.

The character creation is lacking (well it was beta so perhaps it will be better at launch) but the environments are truly stunning. The combat itself is also a lot of fun. There are no classes, instead there are weapons that have certain skill types you can use. You can switch weapons in combat to have a flexible playing style. Huge contrast to how FFXIV's character progression is done. Also the housing is instanced, which is really nice...wish FFXIV would do that. Sigh.

Not for trials and such. There is a reason only the Warrior of Light(s) can fight these battles. An example is Emet Selch and Elibidus. Warrior of Light's from other realms were summoned to help you fight them. It's part of the story.

Nah I'm against this.

Thanks to Trusts defining how they're designed I've never disliked 4-p dungeons more than I dislike them in Shadowbringers.

I don't want MSQ trials to suffer the same fate.
Imagine if my favorite MSQ trial, from 5.3, had been watered down to make trust behavior easier to implement in it. No, no thanks.

Also have to note that this would make the gap in difficulty between MSQ content and the rest of the pve content even wider than it is. When the mandatory stuff fails epically at preparing players for content like Bozja's duties at normal level because you keep trying to make the story all but carry the player to the max, I think your pve content has a very serious design problem.

Idk why no one even takes note to that... stuff is already too easy and times where you actually need the full timer to finish a raid are long gone... the dungeons while being nice and for sure pretty just lack that certain something...

Okay time for cold truth..

A. Elements are pointless -500 diffuculty
B. Auto stats -2560 diffuculty
C. Everyone has and gets all abilitys without having to earn a single skill - 500 difficulty
D. As long as your team has rezs no fight is diffucult unless everyone is a moron fight or first timers who haven't seen the pattern yet-7000 diffuculty.

Fight patterns are always the same -8000 difficulty.
E. As long as you read your abilitys and test them u can master it easily as it tells u how 2 use it so clearly. -9000 points..

No skill trees, or spec to make ppl use their brain -12500 difficulty
Trust, if you die u fail the fight and have to restart also they dont aoe, so trust running is auto harder than players.. Unless you play with people who cant read.

Honestly base design frogger is a harder game than base ffxiv without taking into fact ppl who cant read

...did you just make up a point system for grading difficulty in this game? o.O
