Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Aveline]

Yeah, I'm with the "harlots" on this one... the new raids at first glance are very lackluster. Reskinned armor rewards, same old monsters, etc. I won't knock it until I've run through them, but if this is the new team's triumphant example of what awaits the future of FFXIV, I doubt I'll be playing much longer.

there seems to be enough people who are hoping that 1.18 will be some amazing huge patch that will make the game "good" and when it comes out and its not as big or as exciting as they hoped, they will be let down pretty bad. Ive even seen plenty of these "if 1.18 does not deliver, im done with this game" and at this point, if the new raids are as half baked as im guessing they will be, cont me in the "this game isnt even worth following" boat.

too bad they didnt put caps on the dungeons so people get their level adjusted to the proper dungeon level...

=> the 50ies will rush through it like the nms they will rush the 25 dungeon and the 45 i might think as well.. depends

i dunno why SE doesnt implement level sync so people can acutally enjoy the new content instead of rushing through it.

Well ok you can always make a new character for it or level another job... but thats a bit retarded.
No caps or syncs for dungeons... why did they even bother... its cant be so hard to implement and its a great feature.

Almost no mmo has these features and thats why nobody does them... or IF people get rushed through... great idea... i hope they fix this...

How can you base an opinion on two screenshots and 3 images of gear. For all we know that gear could have way better stats than anything in the game right now. But how can you tell from the image? The screen shots don't show the entire dungeon either.

You people are out of control... just a bunch of trolls really.

Uhh no, Molly, having a difference of opinion from you does not make half the members of this board trolls. It makes us people with brains who aren't afraid to say what we think. Sorry we aren't sycophantic enough for you, but that's how it is. Who cares about gear stats, anyway? The way gear is in the game right now, you can tank naked and will hardly be penalized for it.

Guys, you can't judge a whole patch just by looking at two pictures! I am very happy, if these are dungeons to start, it's very good for me!Good job Yoshi and good job to you and your team!

You do know the way stats work is changing, right? And I'll say it again, do you even know what you're complaining about? There is not even enough information to based a solid opinion about in that post on the front page. You're complaining about pure speculation.

a lot of people im talking to in game ls members, friends who had their hopes up for so long (like me) are feeling the same. They don't log on, peoples level gaps increase further, so even if we are all on we cant do shit together... level sync would help a lot but i doubt they will implement it and if it will take forever.

People get impatient for a good reason, almost 1 year (and if you count the last beta stages and release, where nothing actually changed we HAVE the 1 year already) has past and nothing happened. At least nothing that justifies the laughable small updates we had so far. The trade menus the retainer trading, checking, macro, gear switching, crafting menu responsiveness, etc. etc. is still almost as bad as it was after launch... These things should, no matter if other stuff gets overhaul, be fixed by now. They seem untouched for months now...

People are getting irritated since they dunno what SE is really working on, and how long things will take.
They are losing hope. I would love to see some kind of a plan, The "big picture". So i know what i can expect in the future,
if its worth waiting, or if im just crafting and leveling for grind-sakes here.
The way the game is now the ps3 release isnt even close. And if its planned anytime soon, we need really big patches the next months, which i doubt. i would love to see REAL dev posts, from all the team, people for graphic, engine, server,
content, etc. I wanna know what their visions and plans are, what they are working on. Perhaps a longer video like they did on the dvd they delivered with the game. But this time i wanna get the feeling how they are planning to change the game.
Examples, graphic changes, class-specific gear in 3d (teaser) something...

I know most people will write: be happy with what you got, or give them time, or i am expecting too much.
I don't think i am, since 1 year has past (counting the last beta where no (or almost no) changes were made compared to launch).

I do enjoy some parts of the game but i can't imagine and i don't want to imagine something that MIGHT be in the future only to get disappointed in the end... I think its time to show us more of the hopefully brighter future!

which is... SE fault again. They never give us concrete stuff. And IF they had new gear to show, which they had when NMs got live... they would show us... so its more then likely we won't see new gear, only some colour changes.

If a car vendor has the latest porsche to sell, do you think he would show everyone the old version of it?...

Actually, I'm not "complaining" about anything. I said if the dungeon is as lame as the pics make it look, then I'm out. Don't be sad, Molly, I'll still play with you if you want! <3 Calm down and stop harassing people for having a different opinion than yourself. *hands Molly an anti-troll cookie*
