A plea to the developers.

[Akuun]

First I would like to thank Yoshi-P and the XIV Team for all their hard work.
I can't imagine how difficult the task is of re-envisioning and re-coding a game is.
If not for their efforts XIV would probably no longer exist.

14 in it's current state is still not what I would expect of a launch ready mmo.
At the same time, since most of it's current player base (which I don't expect
to grow till 2.0) already obtained at least 1 level 50 by 1.19 and more content is being
developed for 50 solely because of this, it really means not much content from 1-49
You have a hand full or two of 30+ nms, one 30 dungeon, and the joke that is the level
10 dungeon. I don't know anyone that cares about this content, and honestly why should
they, they're 50 already.

Even the 50 content is at best a distraction, their are no long term goals or rewards.
Ifrit is a good example, it's a fight you can spam every 10-35 mins and has a horrible
drop rate. So it will be ran till 1.20, then we will have better crafted weapons, and
better weapons from the moogle fight. This quick turn over rate of content doesn't
make for a good long term game.

And I honestly expect to see stuff like
level 49 axe 113 dmg,
level 50 axe 250 dmg,
at least under the current "every update must have better gear" system.

I know Yoshi and team are working their butts off, but I think they need to
look at giving players some long term goal oriented content like dynamis,
and slow down on the spam and discard system that is the primal and
dungeon content we have today.

please dont make content so hard that it takes people months to beat it and only the best ever can ever finish it
but also please make it so we get a new dungeon each week cuz i dont wanna get bored when i easily beat the dungeon you just put in 3 days later and have it on farm already


that pretty much sums it up

Even though we get to keep our characters' progression when v2.0 comes out, the game is going to have completely different content than what we are playing now. Anyone looking at this game objectively should see that everything we are playing now has a date of expiration. There is no guarantee that the drops from the primals/dungeons will even be obtainable post v2.0 launch (v2.0 primals might have different drops than the ones we can obtain currently.) This means there would be no reason to make any "long-term" goal oriented content from a developers stand point because it would only last for a year before possible deletion. The best thing they can do is make enough content to hold people over until 2.0 and spend most of their resources developing the content that will make it into the finished game and remain for years to come.

SE says in a few interviews in 2.0 there making endgame "extremely hard" so you might be out of luck. still in version 1.X they should still get there practice in while they can to see what works.

Like they made Ifrit very hard and they started crying when everyone walked all over it and can kill him before a kettle boils? Oh poor SE, you really don't understand your community!

What people dont understand is, what is hard for you, is not for others. Like I just mentioned, people are pissing all over Ifrit like hes a dodore, but other people have yet to kill him successfully, and fail a lot. Hell I even found Darkhold quite hard but others lols their way through it on a broom stick.

SE cannot please everyone, nore can they alienate.

Which is kind of odd, when you see how many posters on here complaining it was made overly difficult.

Which is kind of odd, when you see how many people brag about their 4 minute kills and magically grow an inch in epeen size.

Also odd, people bitch about the drop rate and loot system (rightly so) and going 0/70 on him

:P

Whats odd is this thread is yet to be locked.

We're not getting content any faster than what they've told us. There's nothing we can do, it's futile.
Either wait a few patches to play or wait till 2.0 (and then wait for the content that comes AFTER 2.0 in the PDFs).

It's the same old waiting game. This is nothing more than ranting & beating dead horses in hopes of a dev response or some crap.
