So we got extra 3 month before endwalker

This is a time frame of a normal patch so will there be a patch amount of content? If not what people think of this. I got raids and so grind to do ,so I can't complain to much.
One more thing I want to see is why people jump from a "dead" period in wow to ff14 in its longest "dead" period.
Don't star hate wars and any of this things.

3 months?
Wait that's only 90 days...

I'd say we are far from a "Dead period". I suddenly saw all the old content I did not bothered with and found myself having fun with it.
BLU, did not cared and did not had time. Filled the BLU spell and I'll try to find a group for savage.
I've been able to join a group progging TEA and gets additionnals totem while also slightly improving my performances in this content.
I've had time to collect Triple Triad cards.
I found myself enjoying Chocobo races.

I still have a few things on my Todo list:
I'll be trying to get that perfect Chocobo, I'm on the last step.
BLU content and Morbol.
I'll try to solo POTD.
I'll build a few more relics.
Hope there will be an event to increase interest in pvp, I still have the 100 wins mounts to get.

Maybe if I have the time, I'll do a few more TEA reclears or crafters relics.
Dead period? It's going to be busy for me.

No, there won't be anymore patches, but we may get hotfixes. There will be a return of FF XV car available at the gold saucer in September.
Other than that, look forward to the upcoming Media tour in September that will show job changes. And one month before EW release we should have another liveletter.

As for WoW...
I think you followed what happened lately?
9.1 was disappointing and too late, the dev team is still disconnected from its playerbase. WoW players are fed up, some Streamers tried XIV and surprise, it's actually fun and not weeby/furry/pedoland.

WoW players might be able to give you more, but to put it simply they are fed up.

Are you new the game OP? There has always been a "lul period" right before an expansion but it's hardly dead
CKNovel already explained but even for a senior player there is still a bunch of stuff to occupy yourself until mid november.

If you're a raid logger then of course game been "dead" for some time now.
I know I have a ton of stuff on my to-do list until november and I'll probably not able to cross off all until then.

By that logic, isn't the game dead after 1-2 weeks after every patch since then we have to wait roughly 3 months on next content patch?

Look I get it, it sucks not having new patches in 7 months but if covid didn't happen and there wasn't a delay we'd have the expansion around this time. 3 Months extra doesn't really make or break it. Rather them spend the time polishing the expansion than rush it out to quench people like, you OP and whoever else think the game is "dead"

Although I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the last seasonal events been lackluster both in event objectives and rewards. (I'm looking at you Polarbear and umbrella)

Ok I see the point you made but dead means no new content in a longer that normal time now.

During this time, I use to bounce around mmorpgs taking a break, but for some reason i got the I need to make gill itch, so been focus on that.


Also tons of old content that I never really felt like doing, im picking up. Now if I did not have all this older content I might be more bored...well not really. Making gill is kinda addicting.

In some ways, this is my favorite time in the game's cycle. Things are a bit quieter so there's plenty of opportunity to do the slow/chill/solo content available that often gets ignored during the more active times. I understand if you prefer more group-oriented stuff, but give the other content a try, you may find you like it more than you thought or did in old versions with different systems.

Yes but is it not the longest one so far? Doing older things is nice ,I do them as well but you know . Nothing fells new as new things when you don't need to look for people all over the net to do it.

I havent gotten all jobs to 80 so I still have contents to do if I feel like it.

Well there's gonna be some cookie cutter events (Rising, Halloween) , and the FFXV event which is nice that it gets a re-run and I think a few people were looking forward to it.

if you ever wanted to learn how to play Mahjong, now's the time. It's pretty fun.

I just made it to 80 on my first class, I came here at the beginning of July and today I will hopefully complete The last MSQ trust. I have so much to experience.

Because for those ex-WoW people there is ARR, Heavensward, SB and ShB content they never cleared before.

It would be nice if those 3 months could be spent unsubbed but alas I have a house to keep up.

There's one thing that is coming and that's the moogle treasure trove, which is doing old content for rewards that are frustrating and/or impossible to get anymore due to lack of participation eg certain orchestrion rolls in the aquapolis, mounts from exs, fate earrings etc

I reckon a lot of the silent members of the forum would agree with you though given the dearth of combat content in shb. I wouldn't be surprised if endwalker being 1.3x as long as a regular expansion (or something like that according to an interview) meant that a lot of shb content got cut for it OR shb was underdone anyway to make EW hype bigger.

Incorrect. "Dead" implies a lack of activity, both in terms of content and overall players in the game. We are in a content lull, but the game is not dead by any means. I have never seen so much activity going on before at the tail end of an expansion. Regardless, I've accomplished just about everything I had planned to (along with some nice surprises) for now so I'm not playing quite as much. Currently, my main focus is Warframe. But I'm still logging in every couple of days and I am always met with a server queue and full cities no matter what time of day it is.

A house that you maintain by stepping into it once every 45 days.

That's one month of subscription needed in a three-month period.

Also we have the FFXV event coming back, not just the moogle tomes.

Endwalker could release in 2022 and I'd still have too much to do. Making gil, mount farming, solo achievements, etc.

Also a time like this is a good chance to catch up on other games. I stay subbed and play still but I usually do weeklies only/hang with friends then I try to do other stuff before Endwalker takes over my time in November. There's going to be a lot of people doing stuff when the mog tomes come around and when the XV event comes back.

Patch 4.55 launched in Feb 2019 with Shadowbringers launching in July 2019 so this is just a few weeks longer than the last time with 5.55 being in May and Endwalker launching in November.

Don’t worry about former WoW players, they got plenty to do. I finally managed to reach Ishgard a few days ago after playing for over two months (I blame crafting… man that is fun!). I feel like I barely scratched the surface of the game, it’s awesome :D

I'd actually been somewhat away not being really active in game for about a year so I'm using it as a catchup period before Endwalker launches. Yay for distractions caused by other games and the annoyance of my preferred input device on my PC not working properly after it had a software update which is now fixed.

Currently finishing up getting all combat jobs to current lvl cap.
Making resistance weapons and finishing that story line
Clearing out trials I haven't gotten around doing yet
Finishing the Eden Raids story
Finishing the Yohra raid and story

Once that's done I'll look at going back for raid/trials mounts or maybe sit down and work on capping my DoH/DoL jobs

I didn't think of the word when I wrote my initial response... long day at work
but I guess you could call it a content draught but still not really.

at the rate it takes to get 99 Emerald weapon tokens, I do need these 3 months...

My to-do list before EW release includes:

Getting all extreme trial mounts.
Obtaining a few rare items from treasure maps, Eureka, etc.
Replaying the entirety of the msq since I forgot a surprising amount of lore.

At this point I'm worried that I won't get everything done until then :p

I've had all my jobs to lvl 80 for a while now and I still find things to do.

I wrote this three months ago.

You have 27 Weeks until Endwalker releases

Thread is filled with things you can do.

The best time to start something is yesterday. The next best time to start something is TODAY.

I dunno man.
I feel the silent members are probably not in the forums because they're in game haha.
I guess we shouldn't be projecting our opinions on them in lieu of them not speaking for themselves.

Yo, I feel ya. Part of me wishes FF14 had a longer development cycle, but I know they'd probably just add more grind for the people not in the same boat as us....



Also, to prevent this thread from turning into people posting their pre-EndWalker to-do lists, please direct such posts here:
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...fore-endwalker

I consider this the "calm before the storm".

That means I'm crafting stuff, stocking up on stuff, continuing to PVP and would like to dive into POTD and HOH again.

Idk about you, but I'm bored to tears after doing roulettes.

I farmed my ARR ponies. I'm good on mounts.

I don't collect minions.

I dislike gold saucer.

And I have no desire to level other jobs.

Oh well.

I’ve finished everything I want to do.
All tomestones at capped.
Got Landerwuff or whatever its called.
Geared up all job to at least ilv 520.
Got minions and glams from various contents.
Done with NG+ shadowbringers.

Right now I’m thinking about unlocking ultimate fight.
Well, I have time to kill so why not ?

There's always been a few months of "nothing" before the expansions, it's pretty standard in every MMO.

But then when it does come, using what is know and the past 3 examples for FF XIV as reference, Endwalker comes out with 2 new classes, a couple of dozen of hours of story, 7-8 dungeons, 3-4 trials (complete with Extreme versions) and a set of 4 raids... And Savages sometime later in I do believe 6.05.
