Anyone Sad about the games Decline

[Shadowgloom]

I'm so bored running fates. But nothing else can be done to get my subclasses to unlock their abilities. Worse, trying to go to an instance for a change of pace means I can't be in a fate group. With no quests and leves taking so long to refresh, the game is just boring.

Edit: Why am I bored running Fates? As a DPS trying to get into an instance takes ages. So I get into a Fate Group to speed it up. Which is really boring. I try to watch movies on my other monitor but then I just think, why even play the game?

Why do I do these things? I had 5 buddies start the game with me. I am now the only one that plays. One moved back to GW2, 2 went back to WoW, another is playing a ton of Steam games and the last one plays most of everything except for FF. I got into an FC but it was horrible. Left it and tried another one and there was nothing interesting going on. Mostly stupid conversation and people insulting people. My experience with the game has been degrading daily. After I completed the main story, there's no direction or focus. I feel I'm playing because I already paid and, somewhat, invested in the game. Maybe this post is my wake up call to just let it go.

My server seems to be booming. My brother just joined 2 weeks ago. He has no problem getting into lower level dungeons. He is a DPS and his longest wait on any of them was about 30 min. I'm at level 50 Castrum last night was about 20 minute wait and Ifrit hard was about 5 minutes which has been the usual wait times for me.

I am never in any zone where I dont see tons of people running around doing something. The creator of the thread just wants attention. He is probably just sitting by his keyboard pressing refresh constantly in hopes that someone else in this thread will mention his name. After his boner deflates he presses refresh again.

I remember reading an interview with Yoshi-P some weeks before official launch, and he mentioned that he was expecting once the newness wears off and things settle into a cruising pattern that they'd be left with around 250k subs.

I have a feeling that regardless of any net loss of subscribers (if there was a loss at all) they are far surpassing that number at the moment.

Current issues with the game just scream "underestimation" lol

Thanks for the positive help but god it feels sooo stressful when running that dungeon that its hard to have fun. I know it will feel nice when i finally down him but then whats the next place ill get stuck on and pissed off about? Im sure Wandering Palace and AK are just as tough as Aurum Vale.

Av is not that bad, on the first boss you will have to eat the fruit on the ground once u have 2-3 stack, cant remember exactly. just have all member stand by near the furuit or have them preselect the fuirt they will go to, after that it just dodging red.
on 2nd boss it like the big one eye troll fate in dragonhead, except he wont have a red indicator, so you have to dod his swing by looking at him.

last boss is a bos check on the add part. each add atk will put a debuff on you, for each debuff it will make the boss special atk hit harder. (any more than 4 stack will mostly kill you if u not a tank.) you can eat fruit to get rid of debuff. for the add they will spawn as an eggs, kill them asap if 4 or more of them hatch you will msot likely wipe. (the trick for WHM is to go into DPS stand then holy it. (1 or 2 holy should kill all the egg, dps also need to kill egg).

i could have run you thru it if u were on cactuar ><

I know right? Yoshi even said the reason early access was so rough was because they screwed up their North American sales estimates. The game is waaay more popular than they thought it'd be.

Some of the statements made are just funny.

"People can't log in...so once people log in they stay logged in. We're going to make it so that we afk kick people so that more can log in."

"Uhh more people are logging in, so we need an upgrade to the log in procedure..."

"Uhh more people are logging in so we need to upgrade our instance servers..."

"OMG people are flooding the FATEs! Implement population caps!! DX"

"Too many people are trying to enter pop-capped areas! ABORT! ABORT! We're sinking deeper captain!"

Boring people get bored easily
Whatever happened to playing in the yard with a stick using your imagination, those were the days.
Now you kids got all this entertainment and no imagination, such a shame.

How are you spending your Leve allowances so quickly? Are you burning them on crafting classes? Between FATEs, Dungeons, leftover quests, I keep a fairly large pool of Leves on my characters at all times.

I can only conclude that you're flatly not taking any breaks whatsoever. Burning your 6 leve allowance as soon as it comes up.

I have to ask, what other hobbies do you keep? The reason why you're bored is likely because you've played so religiously that you've actually burnt out, and the game mechanics instilled to keep people form playing obsessively are hitting you hard.

So basically, you're saying that FATE grinding is the only thing you want to do in the game? That comes across as pretty bloody limited. Personally, I'd be over the frickin' moon if FATE XP was cut in half and seals were cut to 1/4 of what they currently give. Why? to end this monumentally stupid FATE grind, and encourage people to actually PLAY the game - you know, run linked levels, guild hests, and dungeons, or even just roam the world farming mats with friends. all this group content where you and actual friends work together should be where people are focused, not on the anonymous button mashing of FATE grinds.

For you only, I am having fun levleing Paladin and Monk after I am a lvl 50 Bard. Leveling craft jobs are also fun too.
