Face it, this game is in maintenance mode now, i.e. managed decline

[dspguy]

While that is nice that they could do that...its also in a way artificially created challenge...like I am sure if 14 did that now it wouldn't bode well them patching the game and being like hey need to craft the gear needed to go to the zone or if an expansion launched the story was like cant continue till you are ilvl X or above. I will say it needs to dip in some manor its toes into the sort of grinds 11 or older MMOs provided...but with a more modern outlook. The way we as players engage with games has changed, the world has changed playing games in the early 2000s isn't the same as now...its a way different landscape.

I completely agree.

I never felt that the content added in XI (or EQ, EQ2, LOTRO, etc) was really all that much to begin with. It just took longer to complete the added content. Personally, I think that the reason MMO subscriptions are up is because the games are more accessible (in part, easier). You don't need to set aside large swaths of time at a specific time to actually complete it.

We set the times we want to raid.
We don't need to re-earn the experience lost.
We don't need to re-farm tokens from other raid bosses lost when we failed to clear.
We don't even need to travel to where the raid is.

Mind you, these are just raid-specific comments. It goes beyond that. I'm not insinuating that raiding is easy. However, it IS very accessible to the playerbase.

Imagine actually saying the game is in maintenance mode yet still getting regular patches. What a garbage troll

Imagine him saying it yet continuing to shitpost on the forums.

Is it really confirmed that dev resources are being used for FF16?

Yes and no. It is confirmed that CBU3 is the Dev team for FF16 as well as FF14, and several of the prominent members of the team are working on both. While it's not a 'resources' thing per se a person can still only reasonably accomplish so much in a day.

I would certainly choose Forspoken's story over Endwalker's, at any rate. While its gameplay is said to suffer it cannot possibly be worse than certain FFXIV jobs at the moment.

Best proof ever that Aveyond is just a troll lol.

Best proof ever that Aveyond is just a troll lol.

I was going to say there is way more evidence that they are but sure this adds to the ongoing pile of their questionable existence lol

HEY SKIROS IS BACK!



The funny thing is, my friends who've played forspoken said the game is fine.
shit just got overblown by edgelords.

Not for me it isn't. I'm tired of boring, lifeless maps where all you do is run to a spot that is marked on your map to press X or boring enemies that only run towards you. And the MC is unbearable. I have a high tolerance for banter and usually like the cast of an given game but she's just an insufferable *****. lol
Apart from that it's crazy bad design if your MC actively hates everything while you as the player want to explore. Such a disconnect. It's like Fallout 4 all over again. I played the demo, saw what it amounted to and deleted it after 30 minutes. The Ubisoft formula needs to die in a fire.

I'll take you over Aveyond any day buddy.

I agree. Skiros is at least funny. Aveyond... eh. lol
