FFXIV: ARR becoming TORtanic

[Aenarion]

I want to play the MMO you envision and wonder why they can not do these simple things to make it FUN.

Time and money. It's one thing to sit here as fans thinking about the things we want, it's quite another when you're SE and have to pay for it, especially in such a short time frame.

Time and money.

Pathfinder Online, google it. Should launch in 2016, a game that was designed and funded by actual fans who know the genre and what an RPG should be. They actually proposed the idea of a real mmo-rpg which goes back to the rpg roots and asked for donations and said if they reached a mill they would begin the project...they reached more than a mill really fast lol.

Please name me an MMO that had a huge abundance of things to do at launch.

Star wars galaxies but that was entirely different era all together...

Yea, I've seen that. When it comes to indie projects with that kind of scope, I tend to take a "Eh, good luck... but I'm not gonna hold my breath" approach.

All too often they just never pan out.

Was this a kickstarter? You really have to be skeptical of these already seen one where people put a lot of money in it and basically went nowhere.

Before every game tried to be like WoW.. Those were the days.

i got 50 whm in a week via story
i got 50 gsm in 3 days
i got 40 pld in 4 days.

i have relic and full dl

and i still find stuff to do...

Noone's arguing there's nothing to do, just the stuff to do is absurd.

How many CM/Prae's/Aks did you do to get all that darklight? Yeah, that's the problem.

Do you have full DL on your paladin too now?

See I'm the reverse, I'm almost full DL on PLD 50 and sooooo bored, and was leveling whm 40 but realizing he'd "need" full DL too, and that's depressing.

Star Citizen is over 21 million via paypal/kickstarter donations. They have the money and the time

I guess I have some faith it will pan out because the guys running the project are people who were big names at CCP games (company that makes Eve online) before leaving that company to start this project.

I know that this is a new, probably one-of-a-kind occurrence in AAA gaming, but XIV shouldn't entirely get the free pass of being new.

Many of these dungeons, though changed/nerfed are from 1.0 and sorry CM and Prae are less fun to me than AK and WP. Those two are just like free trophies because there's no complex/dangerous mechanic. Seriously, the final boss of Qarn, Cutter's Cry, Titan SM, Ifrit HM (with stuns) were all harder than all/most of the content in there.
