We have officially reached maintenance....

[TomsYoungerBro]

Lol? No it isn't?
The amount of combat, talking and running involved it's pretty on par with other games. Hell, in most of them you can skip fighting to a degree (and at all in some cases!) if you're playing a stealth class. But no, it's only ff14 that is bad, yeah.

I like how you equate lack of combat in ff14 to a player skipping fights due to their own decisions in another game. Throwing logic away before making that claim i see .

Bookmarking this thread don't worry...just keep the same energy when i tag you and zephyr 1-2 years from today. By then both of you will probably back track so ill keep the receipts.

Lol okay, obsess over it. I really don't care. You can't claim maintenance mode when content is still being added and you project it will take another two years to die.

And even if it dies in two years and you're still obsessed over the fact that two people dared to disagree with you on a video game forum, I still won't care and won't backtrack. I won't even remember this thread existed.

In a lot of games, avoiding combat is a fun challenge. We can even look at Eureka for this, unlike 99% of the rest of XIV. So these comparisons aren't even remotely equal.

It's like saying XIV Chocobo Racing is as good as Mario Kart 8. lool

If this forum were to be believed, FFXIV has died like ....what? 46767 times

but imagine if chocobo racing *was* more like mario kart.......*w*

i think, or at least hope, there's a lot of certain improvements coming in 7.0..like graphical...HOPEFULLY...if that's the case i honestly wouldn't mind absolutely nothing new from next patch until 7.0 if there's a lot of reworking things overall to improve.......even just like the coding and engine or whatever

anyway this always happens towards the end of an expansion doesn't it things slow down
and yes yoshi working on ff16 or whatever is probably part of the reason things have been slow but
i think it's just. busy work with 7.0 too. also the new dungeon sneak-peeks look gorgeous and i dont think ppl appreciate the time and effort that goes into a whole new dungeon bc we breeze thru it and rarely stop to appreciate how it looks bc people rush

what if they added onto eureka/bozja or w/e to make it so the older relics use that too? so people get to keep going back for diff relics
bc a whole new area for one relic that you're only there for during the time you're working on that one relic is suuuuch a waste, imo, genuinely

I didn't say it would die i said its in maintenance. Ffxi isnt dead and i dont expect ffxiv to die either. Saving a bookmark takes about as much effort to do a EW relic and you quantify that as obsession? Interesting lol

You mean right at the height of the next expansion? Sounds like a great idea.

To say this game is in maintenance mode while actively getting content updates and live streams talking about updates all the way up to 7.0 is pure trolling. You have no idea what maintenance mode is. This game has more players at this point in the current expansion time frame than the last two expansions had. Just because the content isn't stuff you like doesn't suddenly make the game in maintenance mode. Personally I love deep dungeons and hated the crappy grinding content of Eureka/delubrum/bozja so I'm quite content with the recent patches. Everyone is different, but actual maintenance mode is a game like swtor where its "expansion" is 30 minutes of story and a new planet that's smaller than a daily area and no new content for the next 12 months.

Other mmo's are games that you play. FFXIV is unapologetically a world to live in, and Im here for it.

Is it a world you live in? Id argue other games make a better world. FF14 right now is a interactive movie, a visual novel. The world is barren, dead and most zones only serve as a background for the MSQ quick to be abandoned after. Probably why they put 0 effort into them.

[Avoidy]

At this rate, we're gonna reach a point where the only living community in the game is the club/social scene, and it's kept alive by daily player-driven updates (if you get my drift) while Square gives us a recolored dungeon twice a year, charges us once per month, and then pats themselves on the back in a JP-only live letter for their hard work this year.

Ah the infamous ransu! I think we traded blows in the pvp forums as well if i remember correct but anyway.... This has nothing to do with me liking content and everything to do with the level of laziness that was on full display throughout entire expansion. Yoshi has committed to 7.0 so im aware that content is still being developed and live letter marketed but after the graphic update is done and 7.0 is released i truly believe the drop off will be felt by those who don't already feel it and recognize the writing on the wall. Difference between me and my attackers are...im willing to take accountability if im wrong. Will you?
