Absence of end-game content : the downfall of every MMO.

[Mega_Man_U]

I totally agree with you. The 2.1 stuff seems like it was suppose to be launch stuff but just got held back because of issues or not enough testing. I don't care so much about endgame content, just content in general. What is there to do in FFXIV besides leve something up? I just want to play and enjoy it, not do the same thing with anything you do in the game. All people say is level a craft or another class/job. I want to enjoy something on here that isn't leveling. Something just fun to do would be great other than exp grind.

Getting your DL/AF2 gear? Helping members of your FC? Craft? Do Coil?

1. A lot of players have not finished the content that is available now, myself (15 year MMO player) and my girlfriend included.

2. All MMO's. successful or not, go through waves of increasing and decreasing populations. Players finish the current content, then move to other games (not even just MMO's) for a while, then come back for expansion packs. It's been this way since Everquest.

3. Every MMO will have a bunch of posts about how the game is 'doomed' because of lack of content. The majority of the time these posts are wrong.

I don't know if this game is 'doomed' or not, but we won't know until we see how the population responds to the first few content expansions. Believe it or not, I clearly remember the 'doomed because of end game content' posts that constantly appeared in the World of Warcraft forums shortly after Vanilla's release.

I've been hearing increasing groans from my FC as of late. People are playing other games, others are not satisfied, and most of them only show up for that couple hour coil session.

Bahamut's Coil is nowhere near as challenging as Square-Enix made it out to be, and the fact that CT is going to be easier is very detrimental. 1.0 CC/AV/Garuda/Ifrit Extreme/Darnus are ALL harder than Bahamut's Coil 1-4. What are end game FCs supposed to do for months on end? It does not take long to level up classes. Certain ones can be done in a single day.

It is a new game, but Square-Enix should have anticipated that old players would be doing nothing for quite some time.

How long before I find a new FC because they've all quit?

Sorry, nope. I have no free company (by choice), and i don't care about the epeen of getting the best gear possible. So no, i don't care about AF2 or Darklight. I play games to have fun, and grinding the SAME 2 dungeons for 2+ months just isn't fun to me. Coil is endgame and so i don't care about doing it. As i said, i don't care about endgame content, i just want content. Stuff to do besides level grinding since that seems to be the only thing to do in this game currently. Or farm the same two dungeons till 2.1 drops. I'd welcome anything to do in FFXIV besides just exp grinding and repeating the same two dungeons. I don't care much for pvp but even that would be a great thing to change it up from exp grinds.

I'm not quiet sure what your looking for. There is more then enough stuff to do in this game but you seem to just not want to do any of it.

If dungeons are your interest, you can still run the lower level ones as the level sync feature in this game is actually quiet decent (could be better but still makes old content interesting).

It doesn't have to be just 2 dungeons, that all on you.

WoW had jack for endgame when it launched, FFXI had jack for endgame when it launched, every MMO does. MMOs grow and expand over time, and this one will be no different.

DeceptionsWrath, you're a bit of a hypocrite to complain about lack of endgame content but refuse to participate in the endgame content that currently exists because you "don't care about epeen."

You don't have to have an ego to play endgame content. Having Epeen or ego is about bragging about what you have and rubbing it in people's faces. Not about simply doing content and getting loot. You don't have to have a giant epeen to be in an FC, or run coil, or titan, or whatever. You can have fun doing these things.

We have a major patch coming up in a little over a month with multiple new dungeons to run, PvP, harder versions of the primals, as well as non-battle content and technical improvements. Crystal Tower may be large group content, but it's large group meant for the duty finder- meaning, it's not super ultra hard and designed for people with "epeen" only.

Then don't say "there's no endgame content" as an absolute statement. Say "there's a ton of content but I don't want to do it."

Can't wait to read these threads in EQ:N.

Coil : 4 pretty short turns with a 5th broken one.

Then explain to me how BlueGartr beat it? Sounds like you're group is too unskilled to pull it off therefore it MUST be broken. -_-
