Realm Reborn Conserns

[Zehira]

Also by making a game more player friendly you end up with a better community, players are more willing to help and don’t walk around with aggressive attitudes because the game doesn’t stress them out or consume all there free time

Unless you have friends, it's very unlikely... In XI, more than 60% of them are hardcore assholes and it kept me away from enjoying the game at all. I prefer ARR to be more like PSO, for example, if this party is too much drama for my taste I would switch to a different party instantly. Sorry buddy, the truth is not all causal players want to make real friends in the game and (I think) it's meant for them to enjoy. This is all about casual friendly.

(8years of ffxi achieved - 1 year of ffxiv wasted)

It's okay if you don't like ARR, you can stick with FFXI if you really like grinding. It's still a good economy for SE to grow. ^^d

Oh, don't forget the new expansion pack is coming for FFXI!

Honestly as much as I wish FFXIV was stacking up to other games the fact is that its not.

You lost me here. When your first line completely lacks any sense, there's no hope that the rest will be any better.

if you have something to say that's cool but try and be interesting

Yeah, someone needs to be interesting here, because what you wrote isn't.

Not only it isn't interesting, but it doesn't contain a shred of realism and evidences an extremely lacking knowledge of the MMORPG market.

Oh, and by the way, a piece of info for your perusal: the word you're looking for is "conCerns".

Hardly anything on these forums is anymore ; ; Reason why I stopped posting a lot lol. Anyway you bring up some good points. So far I think the game is shaping up nicely though. I hope in the open beta/release FFXIV does end up giving us that FF feeling

Anymore? that would imply that at one time constructive things happened here. Lies. All lies.

gw2 is the most crappiest of mmo's i have played ...ever. wtf is wrong with some of you is beyond me. world events are only kinda cool, 90% of them are empty. even with people around your usually playing solo, and even if you invite players to do them with you, they play out exactly the same and the group is gone and broken or scattered not long after.

like someone mentioned campaign battles were like this ...but way better, and for 1. they pushed you towards the same one so they were always full of players at least. there is 0 things it should take from gw2, i can't think of anything in gw2 that, i said oh well this is kinda cool, from that game at all. it's a SOLO, game with players around.

as for waiting for leaders to invite you, i kinda agree. the problem was the game was empty. only the same groups usually teamed up for them ...at least till farm time and they actually needed people.and not enough extra's to make your own. if you weren't in vent you probably didn't get invites either. but it was cause the game was doing bad, if it gets normal numbers again this will be fixed, fact most shells won't even exist and the top ones won't be top any more when the game actually has numbers in it. most were the only choice, not "the choice". either way how can you then ask for gw2, lol. if anything you then should be asking for full linkshell events like ffxi. join a shell and you are guarantee multiple events a week for your whole group. either way auto grouping will fix this. same as in gw2. though you say it creates community ...but if you ask me it ruins it. besides that, you can't be a total dick when you need to be in a group of 30-64 players and there ain't a place you can go without them all talking shit if you are a total assbag.

i'll skip over the aesthetic arguments cause i don't care about that type of stuff and i don't even notice or think about it. i can play with stick figures long as the content is fun and progression keeps on going and keeps me entertained.

the one thing not mentioned i'd like to mention is this. ffxiv needs to not create mobs like gw2 ...witch is what it looks like it is doing. but but, don't get me wrong by the end of ffxi1.X i saw glimpses of dynamic mobs, there were mages in beastmen camps that needed silence or they would kick your butt. but every mob type needs something like this and i hope to high heaven that end game and then moving forward past rank 50 has this. mob grinds(i mean stupid quests now, look all the same) I R MAGE, I want to do stuff like this. if not i'd be a warrior that did nothing in ffxi and it feels like every class is like this now. every group of mobs should have multiple classes, do buffs and debuffs rather then be just stupid skins, that is all they are in almost every mmo now. they are different skins that all do the same thing. you kill them all the same. i hate it.

personally i can't imagine people who played ffxi for 8years saying that gw2 was even remotely great. you must of had a really bad time and still played for 8years. once again gw2 is crap, the endgame? what end game. and pvp sucks, it's just a really bad version of some of the stuff warhammer had. but warhammer was a true and fully made pvp game ..it was great till land of dead released and they removed the best parts of that game, forts. either way all it is ..is lots of running. i couldn't stomach it for more then a day in gw2 after doing it for a year in warhammer.

tldr, gw2 bad, ffxi good. gw2/ffxiv mobs bad, ffxi dynamic mobs good, solo mmo's bad, party good, op bad, me ..good

Well I agree with the concerns part....but not really much else.

I posted some things that GW2 did good. Most of it is very bad though.

the tp thing is true, being able to open it anywhere was pretty cool and the opening bank anywhere with an item was really cool too now that i think of it.

other then that the legendaries if thinking the ones you are, are no different then spirit binding and working on getting multiple melds in ffxiv. it's just karma farms and meld it into good stuff. not sure if you mean something else cause i never got that deep into gw2 ...usually i can play a mmo for at least till there isn't any content left but i detested gw2 and quit in 2 weeks. i still made rank 80 and geared up repeating the 2chest thing and wanted to blow my brains out on how bad it was.

didn't like the craft thing cause it should be separate. they are different you should have a full battle class almost complete just by hitting go on 100's of crafts that you just hit go on. lol also it combined it, that halves the content for the sake of just adding it in game.

dungeons should stay relevant but i personally don't like how they did it. really it's a cop out for laziness the way it's done.

oh one thing else that i did like that my hate blocked from it, the way that no matter where you ran around it lowered you to the level of the zone. fact this is my idea lmao. i used to say all the time in mmo forums that i want caps for content. but even in everything. you hit a rank 1 sheep to farm them you drop to rank 1 ...no rank 80 fighting rank 1's. so this was very cool ...fact i'd love this in any and all mmo's. ...though i bet this is the one thing most will hate to see in other mmo's lmao.

So tired of Guild Wars 2, it is not the hawtness that people seem to think it is. At least I don't see it.

Sure the random events are interesting...the first time you see them. After awhile it gets jarring to see the same chick running off to fight a Yeti for the umpteenth time. Shoot it in the head and be done!

^^^

When I started playing it, I was like, "Wow, this is pretty cool!" About 20 minutes later, I was all, "Wow...is this it?"

About 80 hours over the next week and a half later, I was like, "Wow, this was a waste of $60."

[DemonFury]

that is not very constructive

here is the most constructive thing i can say to this thread if its that much of a disappointment to you then go play something else there are far to many people complaining about this game already do not need another one in the mix.
