Devs do realize we are expecting sailing from Dawntrail?

[Stormpeaks]

So I keep up on World of Warcraft news and other MMO's to see if they are doing anything interesting that is worth suggesting to the FF14 devs on these forums.

Just got done watching Blizzcon and dear god have Blizzard got themselves into a massive pickle. As predicted the people who said FF14 had systems that were too predictable have now gone silent here and in multiple other forums after seeing how the latest mess has played out.

It is literally so bad that World of Warcraft is about to face the mother of all content droughts as they try to fix the mess they have created and also try to time their next content patch to drown out the FF14 expansion release.

All I got to say is more power to the FF14 devs for having a vision of how they want the MMO played and sticking to without having to reinvent the wheel. I expect a FLOOD of new players leading up to Endwalker because Blizzard just has no vision and yet again they are in clean up mode to fix a mess they created.

If the most we are complaining about is the difficulty in getting a pretty blue glow on my Resistance weapon or how many Ultimates to add then you guys are doing just fine!!

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try
To carry on

I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
(Oh wait we already did that one)

Dangit Ritsu now you've got me pulling up a Styx playlist on Youtube

I am confused. Where do you see me complaining? FF14 still continues to dump on the competition without even trying. They literally took the lead producer and stuck him on another FF game for more than a year and FF14 barely suffered from it.

My only question is with them showing the ship so prominently, the pirate vibe they were going for are we going to see follow-up on that concept or did they just think it was a cool visual.

Also I was right. Dragonflight release date was in NOVEMBER 2022 literally a YEAR AND 6 MONTHS after I posted that there would be the mother of all content droughts in WoW. People here are complaining it is taking 5 months instead of 4 months for new content to drop.

People here just like to gang up on anyone. It doesn't necessarily mean you are wrong, or right. It just means you are the chosen target for the day. I wish the mods would do more to stop this behavior, but they don't seem to care, or have enough resources to deal with anything. Take it from someone who is also frequently targeted, you are doing okay. Please don't take the bullying to heart.

As for sailing, you can travel to certain city states via boat, and there is a boat fishing mechanic. I don't believe that we will be getting any type of sailing that involves actually controlling a boat however. If you want more "boat" or "pirate" themed content in Dawntrail, id advise using your voice to ask for an ocean fishing map set in the new world. Would be pretty cool, and quite fitting tbh.
