Correct me if I'm Wrong . . .

I have played this game since Beta, and FFXI for many years prior. I will admit, XI was my first MMO and have had limited experience with MMOs prior to playing XIV.

While I enjoy exploring this new world and experiencing all that Hydaelyn has to offer, it just seems to be missing something. . .

Then I put my finger on it!

RISK!!

This game offers no Risk! Which completely makes your triumphs feel, well, less triumphant. Wipe on a Boss? NP, try again. Running low on time in Coil? Exit and Re-enter with a replenished Timer. No Penalty on Death(Other than Weakened State). No committing on stat point allocation. Now, they implement that you do not lose Food Effect upon Death!

There has to be risk to go along with the Rewards or it just feels like you are handed everything.

Don't get me started on the bland Loot system. Cookie. Cutter.

The risk of ruining the whole week of Coilz for 7 other people because I stood in the wrong place...

I'll pass, thanks.

They need to shorten the timer from weekly to bi-weekly or a 72 Hour Cool Down. With Turn 1-2 as your first 72 hour lock out. Then after 3 and 4 complete, another 72 hour and Turn 5 done to wrap things up. This will encourage people to form static groups and keep with them, which in the long term builds strong in game relationships and a core of players that can be built upon.

This will make risk still a factor in the game, while not completely preventing people from doing content if they fail.

A simple addition of ReRaise to the WHM spell list would be amazing.

Agreed, but that is what happens when you cater a game to casuals, they'd rather have a large population base paying them money for a game they somewhat enjoy than a small player base paying them less money for a game only half their current population will LOVE.

Can't blame them. They lost the house on 1.0, now they are recouping their losses.

I can only wish that they implement more advanced loot system as the game progresses, as we are only 4 months into an Awoken Realm Reborn. Hopefully she doesn't go back to sleep again.... :(

You should've played Warrior in 2.0. Tons of risk. You can die any minute if you're just average. And what are you talking about? A realm reborn was released in August yes but A Realm Awoken was released yesterday.

a Class that wasn't tuned properly isn't risk. It is just bad design.

And I'll say again, I am having fun playing ARR, I just wish that they added features that would make it feel less like I am playing a Console game.

I agree, they should cater to nostalgia trips and lose more than half of their, as hardcore l337s would put it, "casual players". I'm sure they'd make a lot more money then.

Whats this!? Sarcasm?! Well. . . I . . . Never! ! !

So are you suggesting that it should take a year to gear up one job, xp loss on death, and spend a ton of money on food?

No thanks. That crap can stay in 2002.
