Anybody else on the verge of unsubscribing?

This game is not suitable for casual gamers like me. You can't progress by going solo.

I only have a 1 or 2 hours each day to play. I am OK with the fact that I will never have a static group to play and raid with.

I can't understand why it is necessary to complete group quests to progress the main story. I have spent all my gaming time in the last week registered with Duty Finder in order progress. I haven't gotten in to Sastasha ONCE.

I want to progress these quests so that I can get a retainer. It pretty pointless bothering to level up my crafters and gatherers until I do.

I've realised that I'm going to run into this problem over & over.

I really love this game and I'm sure there's gonna be heaps more it has to offer. I really look forward to coming home from work and playing each afternoon.

I have 11 days of game time left. If I haven't gotten into Sastasha by then that'll be it.

Now that I realise that I'm never gone be able to progress I'm over it.

I feel bad for you so I might have a few suggestions for the reason it's so bad for you:

1. Did you know you are on a Japanese server? Your Duty Finder defaults to you searching only for English speaking members if you are from the US or EU or something, I think. So make sure to check EVERY language box in the Duty Finder EVERY time you search. Because as you might have guessed, the Japanese servers have more Japanese speaking players than English speaking players.

2. Move to a US server.

3. Play a healer or a tank.

But honestly I suspect my first point is your issue here. Hope it helps.

i'm actually enjoying the latest patch for the new shinies and QOL additions so far. Then again my highest level is 40, and i keep on getting distracted by trying out new classes and activities, so at the moment i'm pretty much not even able to do much in the way of grinding since i keep finding new missions and stories to enjoy. Even FATEs still entertain me.
At this point i'm still enjoying unlocking new stuff enough to not care about the endgame content.
Although the last few dungeons i was in were having annoying lag issues that's not completely surprising, and if my experiences in other MMOs are anything to go by most of that should be fixed in the next week or so.

DPS classes have 30-40 minutes waiting time for dungeons, sometimes longer. If you started dps class thinking it's more universal - it's not, all content is about duty/party finder for 4-8 people.
Tanker roles usually have queues within 2-3 minutes, but most of people are unforgiving for new tankers and it's better not to try.
Healers (before lv30 conjurer is the only healer class, but sch is easier later) have queue within 5-7 minutes and people are much more forgiving to them since there is very little a healer can do to fail sastasha.
Duty finder is cross-server so it does not matter what server you are on, but make sure to check all languages and queue within primary server time (10 am - 12 pm), outside of it people usually sleep.

You know I don't believe you jaybot, you claim you don't have time but you have 5 level 50's basically what this tells me is you just want SE to hand you stuff without you even trying but you put time in other things.

Not even close to unsubscribing, if anything i like this way more than 2.1.

On a side note why are you saying Unidentified Tomes are RNG?

[Dox]

Ur not a full week into this patch and already want your atma.. take a step back and reevaluate how u play... slow down is all and work it slow at a medium pace.. its gonna be 6 months until they change it u got plenty of time to get things donw

Slow down! Are you joking? The whole ATMA grind is painfully SLOW. 4 hours of grinding FATEs in ONE region and still no drop!!! The drop rates need to be increase, now. If this does not change SE will lose many paying subscribers.

[saber_alter]

no, because i wasn't a fan of the instant gratification thing in the first place.

atma pieces don't drop? w/e. i'll get them eventually, it might not be today, or tomorrow even. but they will inevitably drop.

[Sirfailalot]

Much as I hate the idea, yes. :/ Not only did they make the new weapons ridiculously grindy, they also made the method to upgrade to some decent armor. (As in the weathered upgrade.) Drop in coil 7. Ya know, where you're already going to be getting 110 (Or was it 115?) gear. Invalidating the whole reason to upgrade the weathered gear in the first place. Yeah. On top of this they've made gearing a fresh fifty (As in without an i70+ main job.) FAR harder initially, requiring either buying off the MB for some ludicrous price, Leaching like a useless tool in CT a billion times in a row (Screw RNG. Screw it screw it a TRILLION times screw it.) or pray your FC mates have the stuff needed to make you the Market gear. Or run WP/AK five billion times for the crappy ilv 55 gear. And maybe one piece of cheap myth per... 16.5 runs.Yeah.
(Double post incoming because of moronic character limit.)

[Sirfailalot]

Or level several crafts yourself, though many can't fking stand the boring grind and absurd RNG. (90-100% chances my arse.) I damn near unsubbed for the paid Retainers all on their own. They know full well how screwed a lot of people are on inventory space. And they pull that. BIIIIG nope.

And lets top ALL of this off with the ridiculous lag they've added with the latest patch. Ran Sas yesterday, and everyone was porting around. I used to only lag EXTREMELY rarely. Until this patch it may have happened ONCE in about every 30-40 runs. Now it's every other run. Something they've done has screwed the duty servers up in horrible ways.

All this said, I WANT to love this game. I do. I'm even planning to grab the ps4 version But if crap don't improve by the next interim patch I'm out till they figure out where they messed up. Raise myth drops or bring Philo back and slap some new i75 stuff in the new hardmodes. (Or even i85) and maybe buff the difficulty in return.

I do not care for the Atma Portion of this new Relic Quest but I guess I will just deal with it and try to get it slowly so that I can still farm Coil for gear and work on beating the last to EX Primals so I can unlock Leviathan EX. I am in it for the long haul and will play this game until it dies...bring it on!!!
