Its really easy to get in a premade with helplines or another discord. There's probably one available in your 2-3hr time frame. If they don't have one see if they are willing to try one at that time or ask if you can host one yourself. Yes this is the worst designed content I've ever seen but if you don't want to put in the effort to get in that's entirely on you. Don't get passive aggressive with the guy telling you how to get into tower because you want handouts.

Who said I want handouts? Did I said anywhere that I want OC stuff to be available for a one tomestone a piece or something similar? Pls, provide a quote.

I know how to get in. Everyone knows how to get in. How players get in is the problem.
And yes, I don't want to put that effort - exactly for the reason I stated. It takes hours of prep for a maybe getting in.

You know, it's actually worse than a job. There, at least I get paid at the end. Here, it's supposed to be entertainment.

I would agree if this was queuable.

But it's not.

The system is designed for randos to get in ( whether or not thats a good thing does not negate that the current system is Designed this way) at the will of the game

The reality is discords don't guarantee the time frame either.

You can after signing up on the discord ->
1) not get in the same instance with the team and mess around instance hopping for a while.
2) still have to waste upwards of 40 minutes waiting for the spawn
3) get denied entry because some random person was allowed by the dev team to yonk that persons spot.

The current implementation 100% fails limited time players in every situation because simple queuing isn't an option

HANDOUTS? We are ????? ultimate and savage raiders dude..Some of us also have a job and we are used to not getting 'handouts'. Talk about a passive aggressive, hypocritical Discord snob gatekeep mentality.
You are literally trolling, it is almost impossible, to get into a single instance of prog with limited available time slots, I am looking at a form 5 days from now in Field Op Enjoyers and it has 8 alliances worth of people signed up for it. The discords are not accommodating the amount of people that need to go through this , at all.

The amount of hoops you need to jump through, joining like 5 discord servers and scrolling through forms, signing up for them, checking pins, and hoping you get in, is off the charts ridiculous. Nobody but some no life masochists are going to be engaging with this in any meaningful way, and be happy about it. Imagine being like that and then have the gall to patronize working people who don't have the time for this for wanting 'handouts'. Insane.

Weather comes up every half hour. Maybe figure out how it works first before complaining about it. There's already more than enough to complain about when it comes to Forked Tower entry.

This is the "Best Community" in the gaming industry btw. Always helpful, always polite. The queue system is bad because a bunch of old men in Japan get to make bad decisions and no one can disagree with them because that's their "culture" and just how things work in Japan, so I just don't play the content, that was my solution. But good lord y'all will you please have some basic decency for your fellow man?

A game that relies on players using a 3rd party program (Discord) which is explicitly not allowed (per the ToS) is kinda silly yeah? Don't you want the game to be good? Why would you step on someone who's having a hard time dealing with the game being bad? Why are you happy that FF14 isn't a good game anymore?

Is this like a troll account? Please tell me you are trolling.

Content that requires a third party tool as an absolute hard requirement has already failed on delivery.

Content that requires a third party tool as an absolute hard requirement has already failed on delivery.

Has it though? what about people who want content that requires a high degree of coordination? which is something that FFXIV has been known to provide in the past with raids like BA, which are still strongly beloved to this day.

I tried FT for the first time today, and I had an absolute blast, it made me want to keep doing it and reminded me why I enjoyed BA so much several years back, the fights themselves are also not too bad, they are somewhere between EX2 and EX3 in difficulty, just hard enough to keep me focused while giving me plenty of breathing room, and it is the only style of raid in the game that genuinely feels like a raid, like not the FFXIV or even a MMO definition of a "raid", I mean a textbook, dictionary definition.

If the entrance method was less convoluted, it'd be 10/10 content to me, and I still have hope they will simplify it, they simplified BA and these devs are nothing if not consistent to a fault, whether this will be enough remains to be seen, but I am confident something will be done.

Why do you need a Discord for that? Savage and Ultimates require a high degree of coordination and cooperation and we can PF those.
