Forked Tower is making me quit the game

[Mawlzy]

earlier you said "Once again in DT, SE has released content designed for savage raiders."

now you saying you expect sub ex, but you also said you don't do ex trials on patch and you focus on pvp

I don't understand what you have to be upset about

Oh that's simple. We had a good PvP FL update in 7.2 which was ruined by the addition of a PvE map, meaning you can only actually play FL PvP 2 out of 4 days.

I was then looking forward to Cosmic Exploration since I'm an omnicrafter/gatherer and the content is shit.

I was then looking forward to OC since I enjoyed both Eureka and Bozja and the content is shit.

Clear?

Preach! Though... I actually like shatter (when people decide to PVP).

I think secure is a much better implementation of pve in pvp. I like how it forces engagements mid and the teleporters mean you can push a side lane and still make it to mid in time. The only reason I don't like shatter is too many big ice spawn and there's only two safe ways into a big ice. So either you have two teams fighting and one off in narnia or two at the choke not moving into the ice because they don't want to get pinched and the team on the ice gets it free. They don't enable natural engagement sadly. If the big ice pits were more open to flanks rather than focing the flanking team to drop down a cliff taking damage and having no way out it would feel way better.

They could just leave PVE out of PVP entirely. I just like shatter when players actually engage in PVP. When it is all ice licking, it bores me to tears.

My thoughts exactly, Bryson. The amount of people here who whine about FT and haven't even been in as a non-sniper is rather staggering.

Dissatisfaction that this is yet another piece of content targeted at a tiny minority of players?

[YovelaLindswood]

I agree with it being boring with only pve but at the same time only pvp turns into just tdm mid all game which also gets stale fast. You need a balance of objectives that naturally draw fights between all teams and the fights themselves. Take the meteors in secure. The more people you have in it compared to enemy teams nets you more points so it naturally engages fights. Big mid tower has aoes and stacks going off which can turn the tide of a fight. I love being a rdm and dashing into a teams stack when I have a stack and nuking them for instance. But yeah shatter needs a rework bad.

You literally just said nothing. We all refuse to jump through those hoops to get access to the content. That is the whole point of the bloody thread. And you can't force us with your gatekeeping.

That's not gatekeeping my guy.

[Shadyshawty]

More passive aggressiveness. Don't tell me what I can and can not clear. I literally did FRU in PF.

[Shadyshawty]

the content is easy as hell, the difference between this and savage and ultimate is extremely ABISM, I already find extreme casual af, and if you tell me that this is a personal opinion I say the same, you think it's hard doesn't mean it's hard, the argument falls against you ''"but there is a learning curve'' of course there is, but just don't put your opinion above those of other people who have lives outside the game and put in an effort that you don't want to put in.

[All_Nonsense]

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.

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.

Join a discord and sign up for a scheduled run. Also, what Falak said.

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?
