This game is on a terrible state right now.

[VelKallor]

Maybe just maybe if they had listened to those of us who rang the alarm bells back when they announced 4 month delays between patches

Patch intervals are pretty much standard across all MMO's.

pointed out that beast tribes being delayed to .5 patches was unusual

Nope. Again not a big deal.

that this relic grind is a joke

You havent seen the next stage yet

to mention the content its attached to, the story in the base game and in the patches is objectively the most controversial one

Aside from this tiny hivemind no one has said that at all. No one on any server I am on has said that so...who exactly is your source on this?

seeing as how we've never had 800 page threads criticizing the story before

Using this forum as any kind of metric is a very bad idea.

dead on arrival Criterion dungeons

You DO know there are more on the way? They are not DOA,. the hyperbole here is quite amusing

the fact that we lost exploratory zones to island sanctuary...

We did? Where did you see this? Who said so? Exploratory zones have some major flaws, one of which is the issue of future proofing.

...we'd have a decent expansion instead of one that has caused this much disappointment across all sectors of the playerbase

Oh? This meme again? All sectors of the playerbase....yeah this is a huge reach and your usual "I speak for everyone" attitude. Pro tip, Aveyond, you speak for no one but yourself.

I'll die on the hill.

Bozja was just a dumbed down version of Eureka, with less to do and minimal reasons to actually do it outside of the relic.

Eh, I wouldn't call it dumbed down really, just a streamlined version of hydatos. If it had something like bunny farming I feel it woulda been perfect.

Oh no, I did not sugarcoat my feedback. At this point I think being direct as possible is the best way forward. Because look at where being nice got us.

Your feedback is as wind from a cows backside and that's all it is. I didn't even say you have to sugar coat your feedback I just said you display twat behavior and seem to have a superiority complex. One can give feedback in a concise and brutal yet honest in a constructive and respectful way and you clearly lack that capability. Being nice is not how we got here, otherwise we would have more changes by now.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

why do you always word these as if you're actually part of the dev team? Why would they care about you?

Did you forget? He is the answer to everything.
And dont you DARE disagree with him.

I'm sorry I thought you wanted feed back on this, if all attempts at discussion are going to go this way then this interaction will be over. Look I can dismiss you too.

They dont want feedback
They want Yes-Men
The same thing he complains about. But its ok if its him. Needs constant Ego-Stroking

[VelKallor]

Of course the Endwalker defenders made an appearance here, the yes men who allowed and cheered on this game's decline will have nobody to blame but themselves for where it ends up in the future. All that is left is for Hiroi to do something out of left field with the ending to Pandaemonium like making Themis Venat's son for me to purge everything FFXIV-related from my computer.

They threw the story away.

They threw the content away.

And we're made out to be bad guys for speaking out against this state of affairs.

Enough's enough. We tried and failed to save a sinking ship, but with the current captain intent on burning every bridge he's built over the past 10 years my trust in this game's future is in the deep negatives until proven otherwise. Hope the burgers and dancing rodents were worth it.

[Kewitt]

Play something else.
I do agree.
But Dev and clearly stated this game isn't meant to be played everyday. Come enjoy it go to something else content drops and come back.

Agreed.

He doesnt have any actual ideas or solutions, he never has. Aveyond keeps telling us all how much he hates the game and how much the "devs have failed his trust"..and yet..here he is. Again.

Kinda makes you wonder..doesnt it.

Fully agreed. Everything is fine, this is normal, just do the usual stuff, play other games, just wait until the next patch, this is an echo chamber, no one else has a problem, etc.

By the way, how are your other games going?

Um. What? Sponsored content? Are you seriously going to tell me I am being PAID for this?

By the way, how are your other games going?

Lemme see here, Planet Crafter am having a blast with the new updates, have the Skyrim Anniv edition and have been playing that and loving it, have two new chess programs that are proving a real challenge, picked up two or three indie games incl Everspace...so doing well, thanks.

That does seem to be the only logical explanation for the things you post. /s

(EDIT: Looks like I need to Edit in a /s )

[Atelier-Bagur]

Same can be said about you being paid. You never say anything positive. EVER.

Either that or you and Aveyond always seem to pop up together within intervals in this forum. Im starting to suspect something.
