Finally tried WoW

[Gwenkatsu]

Forum doomers exist everywhere and you cant please everyone but ill counter with this. Story this last patch was shit on the ptr and it was flamed. What did blizzard do? Fixed it for live release and its actually pretty good. m+ was absolute garbage in season 1 that required you to have the gear from the content it dropped to be able to reliably clear. What did blizzard do? They rescaled the entirety of m+ for season 2 and its actually really well received with their announcements for season 3 met with the excitement of the majority of the community. The only people really complaining now are the ones upset the vault drop mythic piece is no longer tied to one of the hardest scales so their parses are more competitive. Another one you didn't mention is healers. Healers in season 1 were underpowered for the incoming damage and the majority of the player base was upset. So this season healers feel good and can reliably heal content. Now in contrast what did xiv do when asked about the forked tower debacle? Bandaids and its too expensive to fix. While wows not perfect and it has its issue i'd argue the grass is greener over there on merit of tangible evidence of improvement. Going from shadowlands where we didn't have talent trees or class expression, character bound grinds, and content designed only to keep players logged in as long as possible to where we are now is an amazing improvement.

Oh, maybe the grass is indeed greener over there. I have no idea what's currently going on, I just check their forums every now and then, for the laughs only. Personally I don't believe the praise, over the years I've seen so much of their monkey paw solutions, I'm just sick and tired of nuBlizz.
But guess what? Even if I don't believe that anything changed over there, I sincerely hope it does - and that they light a huge fire under SE's lazy bottom. Just like SE did, when nuBlizz followed a bad expansion (BfA) with a catastrophically bad one (SL).

I'm just waiting for housing to drop or be in sight, before doing the same.

Recently I saw a video on YouTube where someone commented on a talk the lead developer of WoW gave. That dev? He talked about lots of things they did wrong with WoW. How the team always tried to build the same WoW-experience over and over again, streamlining and optimizing that experience, because it worked in the past so it will work in the future too. Well? That's not how it goes, and the only thing that leads to is staleness, players being treated as numbers on a spread sheet, and systems becoming what designers want instead of what players want.
Once they realized that, their game and design philisophy began to change. And it shows. The game is much much better now, and showing no signs of getting worse.


FFXIV is currently in that staleness phase, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how long it will take them to figure it out.

A lot of that talk was relevant to FFXIV. Whenever he talks about things, you can actually compare it to a similar (current or past) issue in FFXIV. Even down to things like inventory or spaghetti code issues. Internally, they've had pretty much all the same problems at one point or another.

It's almost like they swap problems and the problems inevitably come back over time like a boomerang.

what a great argument as to why/how FFXIV is better than wow lmao

"i dont like the game so you better not like it too, it sucks i tell you, how dare you have fun somewhere else ? You will keep doing your roulettes and get earrings from mogtome events and you will like it !"

It wasn't an argument. It was a statement of fact.

Play whatever you like.

Just saying we had Characters in wheelchairs before it was cool. Enjoy your hamster wheels, buying gold, and 90 dollar mounts, You will keep doing M+ and like it.

Aren't most of your posts whining about the state of the game?

Buddy - lmao shut up

Anyways like I said people can play whatever they like but even with DT being in its Meh state people making contrarian takes like WoW is somehow better in its current state is just wrong. M+ is about the only thing WoW has that's good but you can also just play PoE or something that has way better gameplay and systems instead.

Cool—personally I wouldn’t pay that much, but obviously some people will. That said, like I mentioned in another thread, WoW released 28 mounts with their expansion launch and even gives players a chance to earn former cash shop mounts just by playing the game. Like I said earlier pull your s*** together SE

So you are saying "play whatever you like" and yet you attack other users who thinks World of Warcraft is better then Final Fantasy XIV.

Final Fantasy XIV is no where near perfect game when there is so many problems currently and in my opinion NOTE: IN MY OPINION, i find Guild Wars 2 being far better then Final Fantasy XIV currently is.
