Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Billie21]

Actually, it's a "why I stopped paying", not a "why I quit" post. Just saying


Congratulations, Alhanelem!
I was curious to see how many posts until someone would come and make a comment about being bad, which seem to be the rule whenever the delay problem is mentionned here. Really, we probably all suffer from collective hallucinations/are compulsive liars.

It's not just in primals, it's everywhere in the game.

I knew it would come too

Not all of us can play like this person... if I did it like him, I'd be dead on the first Landslide. I have to be on the move before the marker even appears

It's the same for me. That's how I beat normal mode Titan I just stayed on the move the whole time and prayed that he doesn't cast it on me while I stop to cast heals. It was doable but took many attempts and wasn't enjoyable either. I don't feel like it's fun when other players can dodge it just fine and I have to always anticipate stuff ahead of time, be always on the move and pray he doesn't cast stuff on me while I stop to cast a heal on a tank.

I like this video because even with their great ping a DPS dies to plumes before heart, and a healer after.

According to the forums they should of all jumped off the side there and called it and raged on the forums about how perfect you need to be, but they downed it. hmmm.

I like how he gets away with jumping (adds about 5 mins in). Pretty sure it's common knowledge location checks aren't very compatible with jumping (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...stments-to-PvP), yet this guy casually jumps out of plumes. What I wouldn't give...



P.S -- EvokerKeii, thank you

Well, jumping isn't supposed to help you avoid attacks in the first place, and it also makes you move slower in the forward direction. It shouldn't take a genius to see that if you jump you're actually more likely to get hit.

Right. The guy in the video jumps like he's bored, and he doesn't get hit.

Why don't you try another route?

I had already unsubscribed, but I came back after I realised that after a few days I was already missing the wonderful world of Eorzea. So, decided to play the game MY WAY, ignoring the damn HM Primals etc. Accursed Titan may throw you out of a platform, but is that a reason to allow him to throw you out of the game too?

Once you decide that, you realise that there are so many things to do in the game (even simply walking around and looking at those breathtakingly beautiful places!) that the only problem is having enough time.

But of course, if you spend almost all your game time beating your head against the Titan wall or whatever, you are bound to get burned if you are not the kind of masochist player who actually likes that

Gear? You'll get more gear anyway than you need for that kind of gameplay.

Yes, I know it's not how Yoshida-san & C would have you to play the game. They will continue to cater mostly to the 5% minority and ignore glaring problems, as all MMO developers do. But we "casuals" should surprise them and REFUSE to be thrown out of Eorzea. It is OUR world too!

You're just back because you didn't had better choices or alternatives. If TESO and wildstar was out, you was probably giving them a try instead of subscribe again.
Until they are available i agree, so far this game is the most beautiful available. And yes, i agree with your post: if back , pick a new route not giving a crap of what is supposed to be your gameplay (ex primals, coil etc).
Hours will pass, time to sleep, the game gave you some entertainment and some laugh on LS/FC chat.

oh, dont you know? we are all actually bad at this game, because the mechanics are so complex and that a normal human being like us can never understand!

/sarcasam off

love those people that think they're "so good" at this game cause they can beat things. Everyone can beat titan HM without lag. He isn't hard. The ONLY reason to die there is lag.

If you need to start running before the attack actually happens or the markings appear - that doesn't make you "moar sk1lledz" it just means you lag.
