Weekly Caps: Worse than Fatigue

[Belandomolando]

I have three 50s, that's quite enough. I have decided which to focus on, and there's no incentive to gear up additional level 50s because while the thought of a 5 month gearing process for my main character is nauseating, the thought of additional 5 month periods to gear additional classes is far worse. Current system is broken, plain and simple.

You have 2 50s, (Unless you got the last two levels) But here's the shocking part,

They're all DPS Classes... I'm noticing that trend here...

It offers something new if you Tank or Heal... just say'n.

Then all I can tell you is unsub and wait a couple patches. Also, if you are a 1.0 players ( and I remember your name from 1.0) then I understand why you don't have much to level up. Starlord Ravine has all my 50's but I choose to make a new charcter for a new game, I am glad I did. I would have nothing to do on Starlord Ravine since End-game is limited kinda atm.

Edit: Again I said it's "advise" you don't have to take it. ( It's not good advise) you may say. Well, I don't know what to tell ya.

Been about a year, I think, and I'm still trying to fathom how can somebody be this big of a fanboy, even when faced with all the BS this game is now full of. Starlord, are you even reading what you're posting? Your own "advice"? You yourself are admitting that this game is extremely short on content, to the point where you had to make a new character in order to not run into the endgame brick wall, and you're still blindly defending the game even when it takes contradicting yourself in your posts? Are you serious, man?

As explained in a post right above yours, leveling additional classes is *not* content for the many players who prefer to focus on a single class. You are clearly an altwhore, and that's fine, too, but don't tell me that because I don't play like you do I'm wrong. Obtuse to the max.

I am not an altwhore, my character is the same and these classes have story in them, my character is good at everything and I like the story behind the classes (since its the same character).
You say that you dont feel connected to your character and then you ignore the story of your character hmhmhm....

So you will feel connected because you will spam AK more if the caps are lifted?
Do you know how else will you feel connected?
Max out you chocobo and get i70 HQ craftable gear with 5 materia on each piece, all that crafted by yourself.
Try do that in a week.

Look, I get it. You enjoy leveling alts. Good for you.

Some people like to focus on endgame though, and endgame in XIV is pretty much garbage outside Coil. That is what this thread is more or less about, given that it is garbage because of the weekly caps. They could have done something nice with the endgame we currently have with very little effort, instead they made it so you can cap Mythology in less than five hours... That is my main complaint to be honest, for a weekly cap it is insanely easy to cap... The lack of variety is another thing, but they could easily have fixed that with some smarter planning of content;

Do Wanderer's Palace and Amdapor Keep and instead of the tomestones you currently get, you unlock a fight which instead drops the Mythology tomestones... There... More than doubled the amount of time it takes to cap Mythology, which means I'm not bored all week, and you get some variety since you're doing the multiple pieces of content for the same results. Instead of eight runs of Amdapor, its Amdapor > Wanderer's Palace > Boss > Amdapor > etc.

Heck, they could just halve the Mythology rewards and I'd be slightly happier. It is all still a fairly lazy way to pace content, but at least it wouldn't take two or three days to complete a weekly cap...

Never posted in the 1.0 forums, fairly sure you're thinking of beta.

Not really, just I notice DPS peeps are usually up in these ranks of impatience, rudeness, entitlement, etc when they don't play a supporting role.

Personally it's too grindy at end game for me atm.

Agree. Adamant fanboyism is a huge plague on any game, nothing will ever improve if devs get so much positive fanboy feedback that they think everything is fine and dandy. Constructive criticism IS very useful. Some people should try it on.

Nice generalization, there. Most people's experiences tend to be the opposite, with healers and tanks being the most pompous and arrogant douchers due to the nature of the roles.
