Zepla about FFXIV Relic and Square Enix not taking any Risks

Sadly that's the only "good" Hrothgar face...

I don't think anyone has actively turned on Zepla except the people in the FF14 community that went after her for playing Hogwarts Legacy.

Most people in the main community are smart enough not to burn bridges. They'll quietly ignore her if she's criticizing the game, and just hope that she comes back at a later patch or expansion to praise it again. GCBTW is not going to villainize themselves by actively and publicly harassing her. They might want to, but they won't because most of them are aware of the consequences.

Oh, she has definitely taken a lot more criticism and ridicule since going on a break. The GCBTW absolutely will villainize itself. Back when the WoW streamers coming over, Naguura was harassed constantly for skipping the MSQ despite the whole reason of her trying FFXIV was to do the Savages blind with Max, which obviously meant she couldn't take the time needed to get through three expansions. She even said she wanted to do the MSQ but on a separate character because she's EU playing on NA. It got to a point she made a video asking people to stop bringing it up but ultimately quit partly due to how much the GCBTW kept bugging her.

To me this is just sorta people almost getting it but not quite, its not about Relics or their haphazard handling, its about how Endwalker has been incredibly lack luster, and there's nothing for them to really use to promote relics so they're forced to staple it to fucking Hildibrand of all things and call it a day. Relics have never been good content.

and Relics don't even make it onto my top 10 for complaints about Endwalker. I kinda wish people would be more direct about this game's problems.

Been saying XIV was Average at best, and that influx was merely a fad.......

WoW is the biggest MMO ever, of course those players will flock to XIV in droves if popular WoW streamers did.....

If WoW figure heads said "Hey....lets play Superman 64"

Superman 64 would have 100k viewers on twitch.....

I am glad people are seeing it, not to be that guy....but maybe they will improve the game & stop living off of that WoW boom. Saying that, it is XI appreciation week, so I will be over there chillin for the most part. I will be leveling this guy.....



Best three headed doggie design in gaming.....

I am taking this meme. It is mine now.

This is the THIRD time in a row where they make the same mistake.

It's actually genious: If the influx in players is low in 7.0, queues will still fill up fast for low level content (esp. MSQ Roulette) because you buy the 6.x relics with poetics then

Finally: relics for sleeping through MSQ Roulette. The future will soon be here

I kind if expected it and I'm not remotely surprised. I'm so tired of SE...

Sort of in line with this, I feel like the FFXIV team has been leaning to heavily into the "We want you to play other games" ethos. Yea, its great not having endless grinds just to get new gear, but I also don't want the opposite where getting new gear is braindead easy.

It's less "we want you to play other games" and more "we want some if you to play other games except those who like to raid and those who have a house".
