Why is there so little information on this game?

[Navnav]

For instance, trying to figure out how Cure Potency and Healing Spell potency interact with eachother has been a nightmare. All I've been able to find is a ridiculous forumla with the variables being unknown.

This game has been out for what, 8 years now? There is a staggeringly small amount of information available. The wiki and other forms if usual information are ghostly bare.

Does anyone know how how the healing/damage coefficients work in this game?

Example: I had 95 Healing Potency and used Second Wind which is 500 Cure Potency, and it healed me for 159.

How does that work? That doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Good luck OP with trying to get any kind of reasonable answer here.

I agree with you though OP. I started playing about 5 months ago and the lack of information drives me nuts. It's like the most basic thing you should be able to do, yet it isn't done. There is no excuse for it at all, every other MMO does this, so it isn't rocket science. However, there is a off the cuff reason for this - The game is tailored towards console players.

Also do NOT under any circumstances critisize this game. The one thing I've learned about this so called 'best' community is that they do NOT like any logical critisism about this game. You cannot bash square or yoshi P about anything. The only time you can bash square is when you want to rant about having to heal instead of dps as a healer or having to basically use anything on the gcd that isn't damage as a tank or healer. Yup....

I'll take another ban then. I always get banned for saying something different here.

If you have been banned as many times as you say you have, I think the problem might be closer to home.

Just saying.

My friend, I guess I'll be blunt, but what are you on about?

This whole healing forum is rife with reasonable criticisms of FFXIV and only a minority of the posts here are the complaints you're claiming are the only ones perceived as okay. Because the crux of healer complaints here are the opposite. Many of us WANT a more interesting DPS rotation. If anything that has been the louder voice here.

This has been pretty much constant since the Shadowbringers Media tour (and possibly before, but media tour was when I starting airing my complaints).

Actually most of what I see on the FFXIV forums is criticism, so I am really confused what you're basing this on.

Just because there are people who disagree with you doesn't mean they're unable to accept criticism about a game they love, it just means they don't agree with that particular criticism.

But at no point have I ever been found to be attacked for making these complaints. I've had people disagree and I've had people also agree...which is fine. But have never felt I've been unable to make any criticism by the FFXIV community in general either and I've been a member of the FFXIV community for years now (started in ARR Beta Phase 3 and not stopped since).

My feeling is maybe the problem isn't criticism but either by how you view people disagreeing with you or by your approach with people - at least if you are finding this problem to be so prevalent. If you keep getting banned, I would suspect the latter. I realise this may be blunt, but honestly, you're absolutely okay to criticise Square Enix. IMO both praise and criticism are good for the development of the game. How it is done is not always positive.

Oh trust me, I'm well aware of this. I've had 3 accounts perma banned from the forums as well as Reddit simply because I disagree with something or voice a dissenting opinion. It really be the Gulag up in here. It's insane.

I even had a beta account banned because I posted a negative review on MMORPG.com in the beta.... yes, for real. That's it. This is the review - https://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion...houghts#latest

It's funny going back and reading it, as all the same things in that review still exist today. Most harshly glaring points as the absurdly monotonous MSQ stuff and constant teleporting around.
