Why I quit

[Colino]

Yoshi told us they will implement the chain system.

No he didn't

[Renshi]

I understand your choice.

The pain of playing an unfinished product that you paid is big, and only a good timespan and its rebuilt will... aaah, screw this!

Later dood!

[Chardrizard]

Leves arent stupid, they are nicely done with concept for casuals.
Behest arent stupid, it is actually fun.

The only issues we have are we have been doing them for almost a year for every single day, that is the issue. If there are more things to do ingame, people would enjoy leves and behest.

This game is not much different then FFXI leveling in all honesty.

You can easily join a party and grind out 20-25k sp/hr without much difficulty I do it all the time. And you can do leves as well.

If you loved FFXI's leveling there is no reason to really hate the leveling in this game atm, it is literally the same.

The issue is the community does not group up at all in this game, they hardly do it in leves outside JP time... but that is not something SE can fix. FFXI was not fun at all solo either.


The game lacks endgame content yes, but atm there is as much to do as there was in FFXI pre-zilart. I suggest you come back and look after the updates. AS for quest there is quite alot in the game atm, they do not level you up but then again this is not a quest based leveling mmo.

HaHa the ppl posting in this topic are cracking me up. NO Storyline Quests please... NO Grinding Please... No Leves PLEASE

Perhaps if people played this game as it was meant to be played they would have more fun, Our LS On average has 16-24 ppl on a night to do events. Some days we do World NM, Some days we SP Grind, Some days we do Faction leves, yes it is repetitive, but it is fun because of the people playing. Last night we did SP Grind parties, each party averaged 22-25k/hr when setup right based on the mobs we killed. The people on our server Cornelia, have setup a World Chat to keep linkshells in constant communication there is always someone setting up a SP grind party, only thing that really needs work is the Party search feature. It works but noone uses it, that's a community issue not a game design issue.

As for the quests thingy please try to follow along

Quests with Cutscenes...

Rank Quests Levels 20,30,36 every job...
Mission Quests... 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 26, 36, 42, 48

Seems to me if you total that all up I come up with a total of near 55 Quests/Missions with cutscenes that were included in the game from day 1.

Are there issues with the game sure, I wont sit here and deny that, but to say its broken beyond playability just because the majority of others think that as well is ludicrous.

Waaaaouuuh a total of 55 quests what a HUGE number looool
Stop it dude doing the same thing during 9 month even with great guys as a limit haha

It's really funny how this game has the smallest grind of any MMO I've played (aside from maybe Guild Wars). You can hit 50 pretty easily playing only a few hours a night (doing leves with a group).

[Azureos]

yep sure you can push a job 50 in 3 weeks but ff14 is not the quickest

[Roughgalaxy]

The issue is the community does not group up at all in this game, they hardly do it in leves outside JP time... but that is not something SE can fix.

Wrong. Nobody groups up anymore because they don't HAVE to. XI was HARD and if you wanted to fight anything above "decent challenge" and have a good chance of living you needed at least one more party member. I said it before and I will say it again. the reason the community in XI was so good was/is because we all had a bond forged in hardship. The games difficulty brought us together... XIV can be solo'd from beginning to end... no reason to team up.

Alexi, I totally dig where you are coming from. One could argue that the game launched with a decent amount of content the major failing being the way its accessed. But im not going to, Best of luck in future endeavors and your quest to find digital distraction

[DarkRain]

The game is a big grind that then imposses a restriction for you to stop advanceing in level. But.....If you played 11 party grinding isent that bad. What i think is this.

Most people who played 11 dident play it from day 1. I remember at day 1 getting a group was hard , fighting the correct mobs was hard. And how the jobs accualy worked wasent all cookie cutter yet.

In WoW i would have no idea because i dident play it. ( graphix and cracked out looking saturday morning cartoon chrs. dident appeal to me lol)

In 14 grinding SP isent that hard really. If you do Leves Correctly you can gain level FAST. Then theres Grinds well you can raptor grind @45ish and gain 20k SP in about 1hour if your fast. Or Hog grind at 35ish.

Also the amount of SP in 14 compaired to 11 is night and day. I remember in 11 it would take a few months to get to 75 in 14 you can get to 50 in a month or 6 weeks or less if you know what to do.

Sorry about your luck on the game. It also helps to have a Great LS to do things with and make grinding better and more enjoyable
