The best part of Dawntrail?

[Hazama999]

The dungeons were fun, as were the trials. The level 99 trial was fun to heal through. The last trial in the MSQ left me wanting.

Pictomancer has also been fun to play. I feel like I was a bit lost on it for the whole first day cause I wasn't sure what sort of "flow" it was "supposed" to have, but eventually got the hang of it. I've only leveled Viper to 90, and so far it's been...... ok, I guess. Just lots of spazzing about with awakening. Can't say anything until I see how it plays at cap but the general feeling I get is just kinda bland lol. As for the rest of the jobs... well, I've leveled DNC, DRK, WHM and SGE to 100 and......... yeah I ain't got much to say about them. It feels like they haven't changed all that much, which... ok, wasn't expecting a complete overhaul but mannnnnn... I really cannot, and I mean can NOT get excited for "Medica II turns intooooooo... MEDICA III! Here's this slightly flashier animation and a potency bump!" It is just flat out not interesting design.

MSQ-wise.
Eh. I don't hate it, but I also don't love it. Feel like I enjoyed some of its individual parts but the whole is just... blegh.

I think the absolute highlight, though, has to be the Arcadion. The fights aren't hard by any means, but the combatants have character and charm. The music is dope, and while I wouldn't consider myself a wresting fan (as in, someone who actually keeps up with it), I actually do like the basic premise of this raid series.

The raid was fun and easy so i could go play other games, so that makes me happy

I did not say that there is nothing to do. I said that there is nothing 'INTERESTING' to do.

All you have said is just the same old stuff that repeats every expansion. I don't have motivation for those always repeating same stuff.

I have enough minions, enough mounts and no space left for more glamour pieces. I also see no value in leveling all up again fast.

It's not just about things to do or needed playtime. It is about how much fun this spended time brings to the player. And for me personally this fun-aspect is missing in this always repeating process.

i agree but sadly SE or more specific CBU3 will not change a thing because i dont know why, but they are scared to do new stuff. They could make exploring the map more rewardfull then just aether currents. Adjust the Achievement system with cool rewards and so on. But i doubt we will get something new this time eiter. Sure we will get a fake diadem and whatever the field expo is but i doubt it will be something really new. More or less a mix of Eureka and Bozja or just Bozja 2.0. Sad part is for example Mist of Pandaria remix gave me such a fresh wind in general it was fun! i doubt this game will ever have something like this.

What you dont like others like. Maybe take some wise words to heart.......go play something else. No one holding a gun to your head yet your choosing to be miserable playing this. I'll never understand masochistic mind set. Go play fortnite....its good therapy.

Hahaha, you really make me laugh hard xD
Sorry I don't want to be mean but I really had to laugh. :'D
You don't know me but say such arrogant words. x3

I already play other games. And it's much more fun than doing the same stuff and grinds again and again and again..., while most problems the game has stay untouched by SE.
To be honest, it's a really bad advice to say people to go play other games, instead of criticizing the company who is not able to release something refreshing after such a long time.

I play FF14 since 2017 more actively. And SE is always doing the same formula. Same way of leveling, gearing, and so on. I don't think that it is a surprise that this gets boring at some point.
I don't even have a problem with grinding in general. But...it's just really always the same. In EW there wasn't even a grind for the relics. Just a 'go get your weapon after the quest'.

I really hope that SE is going to bring something new into it's game formula. Until then..., well...there are a lot of other games I can spend my money on, instead of 14's cashshop items.

SE loves that you played for 7 years expecting the game to change. Puts money in their pockets whether you like it or not.

It's not really very personal. Most people I met in FF14 feel like this and lots of them already left. Almost none of them take the time to speak out here in the forums. They just leave.

Of course DT release playernumbers where high again. Lots of people have lots of hope. And lots of people are not hanging around here since the beginning or early expansions. So the always same stuff feels not so 'always the same' for them. But most people reach that point one day.

So SE really should take care and do something refreshing. It's just my personal opinion but I feel like that FF14 reached some kind of breakpoint. Will they be able to deliver stuff that the game keeps going for another 10 years, as they wish to, or will they not be able to.

At the moment it feels like that they just try to milk the most money from the franchise. Their plans for a mobile FFXIV game with Tencent also really worries me. Most mobile games are just costtraps for the players. We will see.

But..., sorry. All this stuff is not the theme of this thread. :x

I think too many people are not able to see the whole thing. It's fine when some of you totally enjoy everything. But that does not mean that everything is fine as a whole for the major playerbase.

At first I also said that I think that DT has good stuff!
But that for me..., it's overshadowed by a lot of repeating or untouched problems. The longer someone is around, the more it gets frustrating when problems stay the same and formula is copy paste again and again.

And well..., the common bad answer was not missing! Go play other games! Don't care for the game you like or speak about it's problems. Just shut up and go! xD

I really really hope that SE is doing better soon. But as long as so many people defend their bad decisions, I am afraid they see no reason to act.

It's not false but it also makes no sense. Why should someone from the beginning expect that they will just copy paste the same formula for every expansion and let problems untouched? To expect this from the beginning would be a very negative mindset. D :

It's very common just to assume that a gaming company wants to deliver a good and interesting gaming experience. If they don't they have a financial problem! xD
FFXIV has just the advantage that there is not much true competition.
