FFXIV caters to bad players more than the hardcore and midcore players.

Maybe they've discovered hardcore elitists don't pay the bills and know there's more to their game than min-maxing or having a perfect rotation. It's a lesson some people are still trying to learn.

Its pretty obvious that the reason all of the trials this expansion are linked to the MSQ is because they didn't want to have to make assets post for Endwalker's post MSQ, and a separate storyline like Werlyt or Four Lords.
Hell just looking at the Tataru questline they keep advertising as content for Endwalker, its all just been recycled assets and locations.

Honestly it just makes Endwalker feel so small

I'm sorry, did I mention Elitists anywhere in my previous comment?

Or do you have a reading impairment and when you see "Hardcore" and "Midcore" all you see is Elites, Elitism, Elitecore

The game doesn't even have a skill ceiling because it is literally underground.

The game is either too easy that you don't need to do anything or it is too difficult (Which the too difficult content is lacking) there is no inbetween for the "MIDCORE" crowd, not Elite crowd, M-I-D-C-O-R-E crowd

Funny you come here defending bad players in a thread where people can share their negative thoughts here.

Everything starts an argument with someone on these forums. Makes me wonder why I keep coming back at all.

I remember getting drunk in EverQuest and having my screen blurred and tilting from side to side for ages. Good times. They'd have to make you unable to queue for Duty Finder or join Party Finder while doing it if they did it here, though. Maybe a debuff that prevents it until the debuff wears off.

I say let them do it. If someone wants to do a dungeon too drunk to see anything it might actually make those interesting for once.

Way back when I started raiding in WoW, back in Ulduar, my first guild had a healer who adamantly refused to raid sober.

The downside was that he also refused to turn off his mic when he started hurling.

I didn't stay with that guild very long.

I'm talking about getting your character drunk and playing with detrimental visual effects, not getting drunk irl.

Sometimes great things happen in the forums. Moments of beauty will sustain people through hours of ugliness. Take the bait thread chain. Glorious when we all work together for a singular purpose.

Only been drunk once. Ordered $400 worth of pizza for everyone at the place I was at. Also I'm happy go lucky when drunk. Too happy.

I think it would be funny to sit through that dudes healing once...but that's about it.

Hard stop gates for casual players. Fomo from pvp seasons. Fake community, though that's more of a player issue than a game one, but the reward structure rewards people for being selfish.

4years ago they promised good story, decent community and marriage
4 years later the story is good, community sometimes sucks and i'm single.


i feel betrayed

6.0 is just reskinned content. Seasonal events, raids and dungeons... Maybe a few new boss mechanics, but nothing that is astounding.
They didnt experiment with new mechanics for the new deep dungeon, treasure maps got nothing new either.
I fear that 7.0 will end up just the same theme park experience.

We did not get any new dance in EW, did we? D :

I don't think so but we got upgrades in parasol and fashion accessories (now usable while in open world combat).

But I hope we get some new looped dances, too. Maybe with 6.5. : D

Maybe...based on ffxivcollect we got 1 dance and 6 special emotes in shadowbringers. Every expansion has a set of special emotes, EW still doens't have it.
Our highest number were on 4.x patches (18 special emotes including 2 dances)

Plus i don't need to split my 10 gil

We know they know their squares and their circles, cool.
We could get some OTHER kind of battle arena. With FEATURES. With ENVIROMENT. Maybe even with... HEIGHT.

There are so little examples from real enviromental use. Alexander comes to mind, maybe some fight in Omega. And that would be it.

I remembered another one: P7, but i agree with you
More variety would be cool. I believe they see some difficulties to draw patterns on the floor using different geometric forms.

Job design has become stale in the name of raid balance.

I miss fights where you jump on the boss and make a mad dash to their weak point.

Shinryu is the best example, you climb on their tail and dodge lazers and then later you jump on his back to attack his wings to stop him from casting a mini-enrage.

There is Bismark but people seem to hate the fight
There is Doom/Phantom Train

Usually it is just safer for them to make Square and Circle arenas because people just hate fights that have some downtime so the fight could show some epicness in the fights.

They had more arena variety in Coils, Alex and Omega because they were still testing the waters and they had more creative freedom, in Coils and Alex they felt like actual raids and they used that to make unique arenas and fights. Omega they tried to retain the uniqueness in fights but it was slowly starting to dwindle because they only had 1 room to think up of something and all those fights that had downtime, people hated it which further made room for creativity smaller. which is why some fights feel sorta samey with rehash mechanics with a different coat of paint.

The story is incredibly overrated and is average at best, especially as time has gone on. Also healers are boring to play now and job design is getting worse.

I can hear the mob already.
