Such a good game only not too much to do

Okay now that I've hit 50 gotten full dark like Gear and capped my mytho tombs. I just have started to get bored I don't know if there's something else I can do I don't really want Level other class or crafting class I started leveling a couple of things just can't really get behind it

Run coil with fc but other then that I am not seeing much of a point to log on

Get 300 myth tombs run coil on mon night and stay offline till next mon there's not much to do if you 50 and don't want to level tons of classes and crafts

Now before you rage and tell me to leave and go back to wow, I just think that se wants there players wow players as well to log on thats why they shut down 1.0 cuase they wernt making money right ( everything comes back to money in this world ) so i turn they wanted new players wow rift ect ect which I can get behind the more people the better makes for a better
I know 2.1 is coming but till then i just hope that I can hold my interest in the game

Continued

So with all that being said i wish there was some pvp more dungeons ect ect

Ps4 is coming soon so that may rip me a way and many other

Bottom line is max lvl full gear bored

Everyday I am so excited to log in on mon to play with friends but after that it's done

I just like thousands of other people out there need some thing to hold my attion

Thank you for your time

Ps English not my first language

Pretty much every MMO in circulation is the same way, make some more friends and do stuff with them, its how MMOs are meant to be played, when you look at the things you need to do only for yourself each week, you see about 10 hours of content a week (which is perfect for people that have jobs and life), that number changes a little from game to game but its really low across the board

They mentioned in the latest live letter that making new contents to prevent players from leaving is their high priority task.

You have options of rolling another class, crafting, gathering, materia selling, achievements, starting your own FC, joining a FC, helping others/making friends, dancing in the streets of limosa...

2 months for another patch with a lot of updates isn't too far off.

There is nothing wrong with the current iteration of the game. As there is nothing wrong with running out of things to do. The game provides alternatives to DOW. Craft and gathering is a viable option but if these are not interesting to you whats wrong with playing other games or helping the community or fc out and playing simply for social well being?

The Golden Saucer should help with this.

A card game would be awesome.

Omg! Porty Port Portus! TGS doesn't come out till 2.3 I think though...Triple Triad and that Sphere game or even Blitzball would be awesome.


Also, they shoulda released CT oh well lol. I want Minigames! Oh and swimming.

For me there are too many things to do, but if you are only interested in DoW I can see how you could be bored. If DoW 1 main is all you are interested in doing; consider perhaps taking up another game until new content is released. I cannot really think of how SE can appease some people (no offense intended), it seems content cannot be created at the rate it can be consumed. This is even more evident to those that enjoy only one class. I do feel for you, but find something else to pass your time until new content.

I think blitzball and possibly ff7 snowboarding/bball shooting/monster arena would be awesome

Congratulations You beat the game.
Watch the credits and thanks for playing!


So, in a few months they're going to update a TON of content. Right now I'm leveling all my jobs to 50 and I've geared 3/9 with DL and working on 2nd Relic. It's been a lot of fun! My goal is to have as many jobs CT ready as possible before the update.

For people obsessing over the myth cap I just feel sorry for them :/

This always happens on modern MMORPGs. It's a by-product of this new crowd who plays MMORPGs who want to be able to quickly solo to max level so they can be bored.

Don't get me wrong this isn't about the myth cap or even grinding other classes and crafts
As much as people hate to hear this, this is about the lack of content at max lvl

Look at any other major title release in the past five years with release pvp multiple raids 3-7 max lvl dungeons ect ect

And that's that

I'll second, what someone has already said in this thread. Help some people out :)

I've started a thread on my server group and offered to just do some dungeons with local folk, not the DF. (I have no problem with the DF) Its just I'd rather have that community feel when I do dungeons, and better yet if I want to do the same dungeon again :)

Anyways back to point, there is plenty to do, as far as what you want to have accomplished...well that is a story for another day

Just like any other new MMO before the content patches begin to roll out. 2.1 is coming, just keep your pants on. ;p

All the game needs to help with some of the boredom is mini-games. That's what has made a lot of other games popular...and these mini-games don't have to be groundbreaking and new concepts, but something as simple as:

NPC: Want to play a guessing game?
You: Pay 100 gil
NPC: I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.
You: 5.
NPC: Sorry! *You lose 100 gil*
NPC: Play again?
You: Yes.
NPC: I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.
You: 5.
NPC: You got it! *Gives you 500 gil*

This is a silly one but just a really quick example of how much content could EASILY be coded into the game by just adding some of these NPCs and other simple mini-games. You could get more advanced than this and it shouldn't make any of the developers/coders even break a sweat... every single FF I've played all the way from when I started on FF3 has had an abundance of minigames

Everybody seems to remember the goldensaucer from FF7.. Racing chocobos or betting on people's chocobos for races. Single player boss fight challenges for prizes. A Lottery. Tic tac toe.... hell, put in an Eorzean-style chess game...whatever! Just add mini-games that one person can enjoy by themselves or a few friends can all get involved in.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but when I buy a book, I like to read every page of it and not skip to the last chapter.
Equally when I buy a game I like to try every race, every class, every job, do all the quests, collect all the mounts and pets and craft all the gear, before I even touch end game content.

This is really the best advice. There's 19 classes in this game to level, but if it doesn't interest you to play around with other things then you may want to find something else to do and just login at the beginning of the week to do your Myth/Coil runs.

2.1 is going to bring more things to do, but it's sounding like that's going to be around a month to month and a half away at this rate.

Hi, Noel! /wave

We're only getting our theme park in 2.3? That's way too long. :(

All I want I want is to sit down at a table and play a card game. I wouldn't even mind it if they copied a classic trick-taking game and adapted the deck to FFXIV's lore.

Good suggestions but still...

Roll another class? I enjoy my BRD a lot; I could go play another job and do a somewhat different rotation (they're all MMO jobs, they're not that unique). Crafting? Not worth that much considering the best gear is obtained from tomes/coil. Gathering? More boring than crafting and kinda pointless if you aren't going to craft. Materia selling? What do I need that gil for? The dungeons I run daily give me plenty of gil. Personal housing won't be around till 2.2 or 2.3 and my FC is wealthy enough to not need me to pitch in for it in 2.0. Achievements? I never owned an xbox, never saw the point in them. FC? I've got a fun one from FFXI, it's fairly small atm however so not too much chat going on. Friends? I do try but the ones I have tend to play at different times a lot and shout groups/DF tend to be a one-and-done deal. Not to mention my numerous friends on different worlds. Dancing? Now THERE'S an idea!

Currently what I do in the game when I'm bored is help out random titan hm runs... gives me something to do.

The game just came out...people are always in a hurry for more when its still new.

What got me to take a break and not want to level was the lack of quests. I'm a big quester and really you run out of available quests really quickly and most of them are kill X of Y style and they're really not that interesting.

I completely understand how many classes there are but that's not for me i have always played one class and thats the bottom line

And I'm not alone in that like i said before there is a lack of end game content from release

No pvp
Only 2 dungeons
1 raid

I guess this is just a level all the classes kind of game wich kinda sucks cuase its a good one

Nothing to do!

(except for all the stuff to do, that you just don't want to do)

If you'd give gathering or crafting a try, you'd probably really like it. I know quite a few people who got hooked on fishing, to the point where they basically abandoned their main class.

if it doesn't give me better gear then its not content!

To people advising to do things other than DoW: I have. I got my Scholar to 45, and leveled Goldsmith, Alchemist, and Miner along with it. I'd alternate every 5 levels, making sure they were all at the same level. At level 45 Scholar, I stopped leveling it and focused 100% on my Crafts and Miner. I got Goldsmith and Alchemist to 50, Miner to 50, got my Luminary Pick (in three days), leveled all the crafts to 15 that I hadn't already done (about 3), leveled CUL to 37 for Steady Hand 2, geared out my crafts and Miner, made a few sets of 1 star gear, stocked up on Gold Ore and Darksteel Ore, crafted my Scholar/Summoner both weapons I'd need for my Relic quests, made my own materia for it as well.

All that took about a month, the part after my Scholar got to 45 and leveling my other classes took about a full week. I then leveled my Scholar to 50 off dungeons, by which time I had enough tomes for a Vanya chestpiece. I then got Garuda's weapon, melded some Vit materia, and beat Titan on my second day as a 50. I got my Relic weapon in a day and a half. Now just knowing there are only two dungeons to run to get the required 19,125 tomes I need for a full set of crafted iLvl 70 gear (I hate Darklight, and refuse to wear it. Except the pants, because Vanya costs too much) is stopping me from playing. Farming the same two dungeons over and over for months is not my idea of fun.

So what do I do until there is more content, so I don't go brain dead mindlessly farming AK and WP? Level a craft you guys say? Done that. Level a gathering class? Well, that is done as well. Get an achievement? I got my Luminary Pick already, that's one hell of an achievement for Mining. Level another class? Well, okay, I can try. I already have a THM to 26. I guess I could... What, farm FATEs until I hit 50? Because I sure as heck can't queue for dungeons as a DPS, because it is like a 40 minute queue. Oh joy, farming FATEs.. With the end goal of hitting 50, which I don't really want to do, because I'll have the same problem I'm having on my Scholar - lack of endgame content.

So go ahead, tell me I'm rushing. Tell me I'm "ignoring the other content". I have been to every zone, done almost every FATE, leveled DoW/DoM, DoH AND DoL. I've gone for achievements, I've helped friends level, helped them with 50 dungeons, and helped them on their Relic quest.

I really did enjoy this game. I had a blast leveling my first to crafting classes and never thought I'd get back to my combat class because it was a ton of fun. I enjoyed leveling my Scholar. But now, there's not much left for me to do.

i'm a casual player playin 10-12 hrs/week and i'm still not bored.
finished first relic and about to start coil.

i can understand the hardcore gamers tho who can play 30+ hrs a week...
i guess the game is not very attractive for them at the moment.

but in any case even i refuse to level crafting and gathering classes as long it's so f*cked up with all the hackers and bots.

Yup, you may be SOL!

You've got 4-6 weeks until 2.1 comes out with a ton of endgame content. Then in February (or March) patch 2.2 comes out with even more...

If they keep the every 90 days (or so) releases of content, 2.3 (including Gold Saucer) would be late May to early June.

Most of my friends have quit because of having nothing to do it. It sucks, but alas, grinding the same dungeons/leveling other classes/crafts is just not for everyone. Personally, I plan to level each class to 50, gear up the ones I enjoy the most and probably work my way through crafting while I wait for new content. I'm not hellbent on raiding, I quite enjoy doing just the mundane things in the game.

Another thing i just relized which didn't help the fact is by time the new/2nd raid comes out I'll have most ilvl 90 gear so yeah ill do crystal towers once maybe twice but I'm not going to farm ilvl 80 gear from it and then again where is the max lvl content not lvl other class content max level stuff

I get to mythos cap and then rest the week is just chain AK runs to make gil....which is all there is to do until 2.1 2+ months from now.

Sure I can level alts jobs, which I already done one (took 3 days + 5 more to deck in full DL) however I have never ever been an alt type person; I find job I love and stick with it...up to 8 years!

Thankfully, BF4 is being released soon so I might just let sub die here and come back when next real patch lands. Good for me....BAD for SE profits when people quit either temporarily or worst...permanently. I don't think any MMO devs wants people to stop playing and more importantly not paying....do they? Maybe we should ask all dozens and dozens of dead/failed MMOs out there over the past 10 years how they feel about people quitting in droves. Was that the business plan? Maybe, but probably not. ;)

everytime I see this kind of thread, I ll check the char and they are all the same: only focus in 1 content the game have to offer and refused to do the rest beause "I dont like to be forced to do thing I dont want".

Although the point is valid, atm the game have not much to offer beside those thing had been mention multi times but please tell me, is there any mmorpg out there have much to offer after 2 months of release ?

in FFXIV 2.0 2 months after release you have those thing you can do:

lvl all class
Work on AF 1.5 (yeah, they are now AF1.5 :D )
Do coil
Farm primal weapon
Work on archivement
Farm Odin/behemoth items

I dont remember if there are more but those are in my head atm and they are all optional, do it if you want else dont do it and dont say anything about not much to do

Most major titles that have come out in past 5 years on release have had end game pvp multiple dungeons 3-4 and min 2-3 raids with hard modes as well

Exactly, SWToR launched with limited end game but it had WAY more variation than here and that's sad: please note ToR is now in the F2P garbage bin. GG.

At least in ToR I had Huttball to muck around with when PvE became a snooze....

So many MMOs of late prove that poster wrong....if he actually played some of them, he would know that.

Another thing swtor problem wasn't endgame tons of pvp 3 raids with multiple hard modes and they were great raids max my assassin
The problem that killed swtor was the linear gameplay and also the player base wanted a sandbox which it didn't have

Come on it's not hard to see these things
