Thread: Concerns about Content Patch 2.1

I wasn't able to consistently log into the same character until late September. So... I would say 4 weeks sounds about right for me. 1 week of ridiculously unreliable early access, 2 weeks of terribad 1017 login spam, and 1 more week of intermittent access.

Here is my take on things and the state of the game. This game is alot of fun but the way some things are, it either goes too fast or too easy. Example is crafting and fate grinding. You have hard core players who will put in alot of hrs to reach high level but you also have casual players who are still playing through the story. It's a good step that SE is making dungeons viable as this may help solve the problem of players having to wait 60mins for a DF group. What happens when people have level 50 everything. There's not much to do because getting to 50 in jobs or crafting can be done in 1 day. They only jobs that are on par is DOL and we know they take forever to level. There is also a very big problem with RMT and mining bots and it seems like nothing is being done. You kill one and 2 takes its place, much like roaches.

well I'm just glad Yoshi was upfront and honest about why there is a delay and that we are getting more content next month. Which is about a week and some days away I think.

Its kind of entertaining to see some people are forever unhappy because if it isn't now the content has some how spoiled and isn't good enough for them because it was delayed XD.

Look, I absolutely love FF14.....but you guys are now following the trend of Blizzard did with World of Warcraft. There is a reason why WoW went from 12 million players to 7 million all within 4 years...boredom! I absolutely thought SE would have learned from other companies mistakes and actually follow another trend....but with this it shows me otherwise. Most players like me are stuck only doing 2 dungeons to farm stones for crafter mats to sell or doing 3 hours of coil a week and nothing else. Not every player wants to lvl every class or get every crafter to 50 or have the time to do so....but thinking players are going to still pay for a game that has so little endgame content is foolish and I hope FF14 doesnt become just another hyped game to fail because the SE decided to keep delaying content that should have been done as stated at launch.....

Then you, of your own free will, are deliberately choosing to not participate in a significant portion of the game's content. Content SE has stated they designed the game around. SE intended players to play multiple classes. They tailored the content, including end game, around that idea. Yoshi himself clearly states as such in this very thread.

If it hadn't been for their utter failure to properly diagnose the server issues during Early Access and launch, the content you're wanting would already be released.

As for WoW, every single person I've played with have all agreed that it was too much content that killed their desire to continue to play WoW. Call it expansion fatigue. The end game of vanilla, BC, Wrath, and Cata are completely ignored now. And players know that the current endgame is temporary and will be replaced when the next expansion comes out. They've also realized that the fundamentals of the game will remain unchanged and that is why they left. They were tired of the 'new raid, same play' situation.

SE needs to bring HNM's and NM to xiv. It worked well in xi so why not have it here.
It would give guys at max level plenty to do.
And if drops were BOP then it would stop rmt meaning everyone would get chance to claim them.
No one ever said xi was boring or lacked content.

Anyone ever play Neverwinter? Don't you agree the Dragoon's jump should do what the Great Weapon Fighter's Avalanche of Steel did? Would be amaaaaazing!
