Game content is full of mistakes...much worse than FFXIV 1.23

[WeiShan]

(Sorry for my bad English,so I will keep my words simple and short)

First I must say the UI,music,graphics in ARR,are very high quality,nothing to complain.


Now,please let me explain:

Open world mobs:
I thought I was playing "Dynasty Warriors"(三國無雙),a stupid ACT game made by KOEI.
killing a mob is like cutting grass. the creatures feel like grasses. have no life.
1.23 had perfect difficulty.(like the old school arcade ACT games made by Capcom)

Skill rotation:
123123123....
1.23 skill rotation had more depth.

Battlecraft Leves:
Zero challenge,too little reward. no one wants to play them.
1.23 had better Leve quests,& the even better Faction leves.

Tradecraft Leves:
You can buy materials from marketboard,
1.23 had the joy of growing.

Fieldcraft Leves:
Well...this one is okay.



Quests:
There are too many junk quests.
1.23 had much less quests,but the quality is a lot higher, you need something between them.
Quality>Quantity

FATE:
Enhanced version of"Dynasty Warriors",never meet a new friend from it.
please increase the difficulty & time duration ,gives more exp/gil reward,
again Quality>Quantity.
1.23 eft party/Behest/even the "Fire party" are better than FATE.


Guildhest:
idk why they are there,what for?because no one wants to play them.
1.23 Skirmish/Faction leves >> ARR Guildhest.

AF armor quest:
They are just dumbed down version of 1.23 AF quest
AF quest in 1.23 was EPIC., AF quest in ARR is bland

Novus weapon daily quest:
Difficulty can be 20% harder, increase the time limit.may require a party to do it etc.
because the 123123 skill rotation,there's really no depth,no challenge in these content.



I know you put a lot of development resources into new dungeons,raids,bosses.
How about their gameplay experience?
Some example:
1.23 King Moogle Mog: grind keystones with friends(good memory),people help each others.the fight was a mess,but it was funny too.
2.0 King Moogle Mog hard mode:the fight itself is okay.
Extreme mode:difficult mechanics that require a long boring practices.
people blame each other because they fail to address the mechanic. or they just give up,disband the party.(Hello MMORPG?)


And there are some issues I did not mention, but I think I should stop here.

You Called Dynasty Warriors Stupid.

Hence forth all your opinions are invalid Sir.

[Velthice]

Obvious troll topic, did not read. In the event that this is not a troll topic, seek help.

Any "difficulty" 1.0 had was tied to the input lag and animation lock. Remove those and the fights would all be incredibly easy.

[Altimis]

Did OP mentioned 1.0 animations is alot realistic than 2.0 yet? (higher quality)

You think he has an invalid opinion because he's not a fan of hack n' slash genre? The person may love both FF franchise and MMOs, but because Dynasty Warriors isn't his cup of tea, nothing he says counts...... flawless.

I prefer sandbox MMOs over themepark MMOs, but since that's the case, my suggestions will never be of any use to this game... /sigh

They're right though.
The way certain things worked in 1.23 are flat out better than the way they work in ARR. I wouldn't go as far as the OP is saying, but some of the good things were definitely thrown out with the bad.
Just look at the new hunts, mindless zergs. NMs in 1.23 were at least kinda neat.

1.23 isn't 1.0, though - something that ARR still borrowed from heavily but threw out the depth.

Complaints about the mob AI are sadly not new...

But he called Dynasty Warriors stupid! That's not cool.

Though I do understand where he is coming from with the comparison, the AI there (at least as far as DW7E) isn't too stellar. (I think either 3 or 4 tried making the peons' ai like officers on the highest difficulty, damndest thing I ever saw.)

Ifrit Extreme had random attacks, and also had body parts that needed to be incapacitated to affect his moves. This alone is already more difficult than what Ifrit Ex is now.
Just one example.
