Garuda Feather 600K!

Someone hasn't been keeping up to date with news about 2.1.

3 Rehashes of primals already out. A new primal fight with Mog King. Crystal Tower and 1 new dungeon. Have you bothered to keep up with how fast people are clearing stuff in this game? This stuff only comes out in November. Please tell me how they are going to keep players playing this game during October. They need more end game content otherwise they will lose the raiders who are the people that want to play this game for the long term. Watch more progression websites instead of pointing the finger at me.

Remind me again how many groups have cleared Coil.

You're missing two hard modes for existing dungeons and PvP. And as far as the latest update, not one group has finished clearing the fifth run of Coil, and not many people are even to Coil.

I present to you this chart as well:



Not that many people at lvl 50, huh.

ppl who dont have skill at the game or have time to make friends in the game but have alot of gil will always buy runs...

good luck when your friend are busy with life commitment and feel that they dont have enough money yet to start with double meld craft weapon

Interesting chart, curious as to where it originated from. Is it fan made by just using lodestone information or is it from SE themselves? Would be curious as to class distribution too. I seriously hope they do censuses for XIV like they did for XI, loved going through the stuff in them as was very interesting to see the trends of players and where oneself fit into the big picture.

They did a census for XIV at TGS. I'll plop the charts down here:

Thank you kindly. Good to see they are doing censuses, and I hope they keep doing them. Hopefully the first big one has more details than this one, but cool to see how things are breaking out this early in the games life.

For the first point. I point you towards this persons post.

Second point everyone needs a level 15 in order to unlock a job.

Third point is this is a marketing tactic in order to try and draw in people to buying the game and then I refer you back to point number one. It's funny to show stats before the free month is up don't you think so?

EDIT MAX POST limit:

So you pick out one random person's opinion and apply it to SE's vision for the future?

Why is it funny? It's just info as to the current demographics. I think you may want to loosen the tinfoil hat.

How about hitting 50 yourself, and forming your own opinion instead of relying on others to tell you how you should feel.

I would of had a level 50(Multiple jobs) character if sadly they did not lose my v1.0 Elezen which they did and have no way to recover it so please keep typing away at your hearts content as this discussion is over.

Here is some proof for you.

The spike at 15 was rather expected due to the job unlocks in an all class inclusive data chart. Though for number of players with a 50, that chart can be a little misleading due to it being inclusive of all classes as there are 19?(might be off as not sure on number of crafting ones offhand) classes currently, and the lower ones are going to be inflated due to people experimenting.

And the biggest point that post you linked had is what is there for player retention once done with the story. This is what I am curious about the most, though it looks like they have plans for this already with housing (which caused this thread to start in the first place) and they have additional content planned too. Even with a class at 50, I still have plenty of things I want to do currently in game. So long as the focus on releasing quality content, instead of content just to feed the content locusts I'll be happy.
