Game Heading in the Dull and Boring Direction

[Conkers]

Everyone has their opinions; I have nothing bad to say about GW2 since it's entirely b2p and has provided me with well over 2k hours of entertainment so far (best value ever!). Anyways, did my myth run for week so off to do some GW2 content that gets added every 2 weeks or so...I will try to get back into FF14 2 months from now or when ever 2.1 eventually shows up. I paid 3 months sub to not play the game, oh well!

Last time I checked being B2P was not excuse for dishonesty, poor programming, etc, and yes they do add content every 2 weeks, crappy fluff content...

oh yes and what I wrote in my previous post other than the last sentence was fact not opinion and the fact you have nothing bad to say about GW2 just shows you lack objectivity.

P.S- Let's hope you don't want to do WvW, because in typical Anet fashion they've broken WvW with today's patch and it has been down for hours.

snip.

I will say that GW2 has no trinity and that is main reason why I took the plunge here. I love to heal, GW2 does not offer that.

Any rate, GW2 cost me 60 bucks while FF 14 is 30 bucks + 15 bucks a month for far less content updates (every 2 weeks vs 3+ months). You obviously have a serious chip on your shoulder about GW2 and hate it immensely so there is no need to continue the argument. FF 14 at this time is just another inferior WoW clone with a sub standard/extremely limited end game but that just my opinion so take it as you will. Now feel free to flame me more, I am done for now (seriously this time!).

Interesting. After browsing through this thread and reading things people are suggesting to make the game better, I noticed something.

Most of the suggestions are things the dev team are already planning to do.

Hard mode dungeons and make level 50 versions? In progress.
Vary FATES? In progress.
More varied gear? In progress.
More varied stats? In progress.
More dungeons? In progress.

I get the impression from people who are unhappy with the game that they think that what we have right now will be all we get for the life of the game. Do you seriously think they dont already have big plans for this game content wise? If I am wrong in my generalization of the negative nancies and you dont think this is all we are going to get, why then do you spew such vitriol? What will it accomplish?

In your defense though I will add that there are things they can improve upon that they have not mentioned or have even said they dont want to put in (at this time). Such as more open world content and maybe a few new systems for leveling up/attaining gear/getting end game seals.

Its one thing to suggest something might be a neat addition to the game, its something completely different to degrade the company if they dont implement this miraculous new idea that you were smart enough to think of when a gaming company of 25 years experience had not even considered.

Fact is, I do not work for SE and have not had the privilege to sit in on any board meetings or consult with their creative designers throughout the creation process of this game. I cannot say what/why they did/did not talk about behind closed doors. Sure I can point to other companies and say what they did but again, I was not privy to what happened behind their closed doors and cannot compare it to this process.

Maybe I'm asking too much of internet goers to just be civil and considerate.

Just my 2gil.

Not at all, I think GW2 has many good points - a very fluid combat system, lovely graphics, jump puzzles are an interesting addition, it at least launched with PvP unlike this game and gave mass PvP a crack, even though it failed to get it right, it has an excellent interface, etc.

I simply think pointing to Arenanet as an example of a good company, when it is basically guilty of false advertising, is clearly under-resourced in certain areas, and in respects like bug fixing / QA is possibly the worst MMO I've ever played and where people have been complaining about lack of end-game for a year, is laughable.

FF 14 at this time is just another inferior WoW clone

I agree, the only notable points I can see about FF14 are the crafting, that you can play every class on the same character and the cross class system whilst not unique is a change from the norm, other than that...

I wouldn't know I am neither (see my post above), all I do know is fanboy's lack objectivity and can't cope with criticism of their game.

game just launched guys... relax.

This game has tonnes of end-game for something that was JUST released, not many MMO's achieve this... just imagine what we have in 6 months time? we are already getting Crystal Tower, PvP and hard modes soon...

give it time.

Those 2 are mine, and i would like to see where you find information about this being impemented to the game, i haven't seen something about this, and more gear tiers and new skills is not what i'm asking for.

Also, adding more dugeons raids and bosses won't fix anuything if they keep this token (tomestones) system, that way everyone will still make the easier and more profitable content, and that will lead to boredom and unsubs.

this ghame needs more variety and freedom, and i'm talking about everything, stats, cross skills, content, jobs...
