Subscription deadline is coming up and the question is: will you subscribe?

[Solshine]

There is no endgame more is coming. I subbed for maximum amount. Also, I have so many classes and jobs to work on. If you got just one to the end then you not really played the game gully.

[casker]

Umm, 180 day subscription is around $78! You must be thinking of 90 day subscription which is $42! ^^;

I just checked, I have veteran rank 4 (180) and it was $47 (legacy)

I love the people that think fc or guild automatically opens doors. Mad fact for the clueless: most fc's and guild in these games aren't doing endgame content. They're often social/casual gaggles that, many cases, are not driven our especially interested in being gung ho serious about endgame. You want in a serious endgame guild?

Chances are pretty good they don't want you. Maybe they're willing to let you apply and join their linkshell out of charitable pity; maybe you'll find someone that cares you exist their third string backup friends. Make good on it, run when you can, shut your mouth and don't suck and, eventually, you'll probably get to raid with the fc/guild all these 'lol get a guild' quipfonts handwaved you off with.


Friends don't let friends raid with nubs, after all. No self respecting raider worth raiding with wants to raid with you if they're not already raiding with you, because you probably duck and, even if you don't, they don't know you, trust you or want to try hard to do either.

Get a guild, they told you? Can't join mine. Get some friend lol. Make your own endgame guild, or get in the scrub queue.

Getting to the point where I think I'd rather play WoW again, coil isn't exactly anything interesting and it's not like they're adding anything past that anytime soon.

[IMStarbuck]

The slow and lack of depth combat system really put me off.
There are a lot of MMO in the market that emphasize on skill execution, combo, and real time dodging (not memorized) but FF14 combat system is so outdated.
Also, the skill and itemization is linear. Everyone in same class is doing the same thing. I think SE put too much effort in graphic and story, they forget about good combat system.
Due to the lack of itemization, the crafting progress seem redundant.

I won't subscribe after its expired and wait for better update on combat.

And I already have enough Crysta for an additional 180 days after this runs out:

[AjoraOak]

I agree btw, stats aren't interesting... imagine spending another 2 years playing and all you do is get +2 more str, +3 more determination, +2 more crit with each 10 ilvl upgrade they release. Doesn't it make you just wanna run up that gear treadmill forever?

[Chrysania]

I notice that an awful lot of 1.0 vets are subbing forever, and a lot of identifiable new/sort've returning folks are on the fence or going 'This gets all if my nope'.

I wonder if the vague seeming of that is actually how it will be. Makes sense that the heavily invested would be loath to walk now, and prone to seeing it all through desperately rose-tinted lenses at least; they have all their 1.0 everything to lose.

But what's really here for new players? Why should anyone pay this and not other, far more feature rich games if raid treadmill gaming doesn't bother them?

I cannot think of a single reason anyone not previously very invested should want to play this unless they just like chocobos more than lightsabers and orcs and so on. Its not a Betty good Final Fantasy game (yet. Maybe not ever. Issue pending) and its too son to know what kind of content SE will favor with the crucial fist handful of releases.

2.1 Better be amazing, I will say. They'll only get to make one first impression, asks they've blown that for too many. Not catastrophically, I duo not think, but this launch has not been pretty, and the first month rush has revealed some five alarm issues they could not possibly fix fast enough, though might never fix at all for all we know.

They don't get my faith in anything. They haven't wanted that back yet, just like Bioware will never have my faith again until they earn it to my satisfaction. I don't trust SE to listen this time, or care to do anything much different than before.

ARR has potential, but not more. It could yet be be amazing, even if they have made it a gearslobbef grindfest fire 'endgame' and thus lockstepped it into that pursuit of mediocrity. Secret World did the same thing, and its still an amazing game pre-treadmills. This one could be too.

But it isn't yet, and I'm baffled upon why anyone should sub that isn't a 1.0 vet that's too invested to walk cleanly away.

[Rakashu]

Not sure, really only interested in PvP which is supposed to come out in 2.1.

Only problem is that there really haven't been a whole lot of details on PvP and to add to that as far as I know there isn't a set release date for patch 2.1. So I'm thinking of holding off on the subscription until it comes out, because right now I'm literally doing nothing in the game.
