My FC is going back to FFXI... FFXIV FAIL

[Orlandeu]

Fix the game? I'm confused. Is it broken?

[Blackheart]

Actually, I don't care what the players think about my post or us playing FFXI. I am hoping that if SE and the developers see enough posts like this they will fix the damn game. We are playing FFXI for many reasons and we do realize it was made much easier.

What you may call "needs to be fixed" others see as ok or great in their book. Just because you and your FC don't like the way this game is coming along doesn't mean it failed, just means it wasn't for you, which is too bad (i guess) and i hope FFXI will be more of the game you're looking for (which i highly doubt since it's basically the same exact thing now).

I know I didn't say FFXI was hard...

Before you all go, can you transfer to Lamia and send me your stuff?

You say: "I'm leaving"

I say: "Do it more quietly without the need for attention whoring. K fanks bi"

This whole hardcore/casual divide is so ridiculous. People are so hyperbolic and reactionary now-a-days. If you dislike something it's ZOMG FAIL if you like something it's ZOMG EPIC, if that's the complete gambit of your opinions and feelings on games you would do us all a favor by walking away. It's too bad the game isn't hard enough for you, but there are plenty of difficult games out there. Feel free to take your team and give competitive Counter Strike a try or shoot for World First kills in WoW. There is so much mastery out there that you haven't and will never achieve. It seems kind of silly to complain about things being to easy for you, are you sure you're not just avoiding all the difficult things?

Final Fantasy XI, hard?



Even in the "glory days", Final Fantasy XI was never hard. It was a giant time sink. Time sink does not equal difficulty. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, and it was one of my best MMO experiences -at the time-, but I'm not going to let nostalgia glasses sugarcoat what the game was.

Anything is essentially a giant timesink. That argument is becoming pointless as time goes on. I highly doubt just anyone would have ever considered having teams of 3-6 RDM sub DRK so that they could chainspell stun Dynamis Lord to prevent his AoE to be a working strategy (it was a concept that was never used before). To be honest, figuring out strategies to fights without any sort of clue to them is a lot more difficult of a task than simply following a pre-determined avoid-the-bad pattern. Just like anything difficult, once you figure it out, that difficulty is practically gone. I agree that a lot of FFXI was a timesink, but so is practically everything. ANYTHING in life can be seen as a timesink.

Stop feeding the troll... This is only a troll for attention thread anyways... Quitters quit they don't whine about quitting...!!!

Ok, so all comes down to the definition of an hardcore player. This is true that this can be arbitrary. So here is 2 cents.

An hardcore player is someone that cap tomes everyweek, play for gear only, run throught new content in a week, don't care about other stuff to do in game such as crafting, side questing, complains because there is not enough stuff do to.

That sounds like a casual player to me, hardcore players at the moment are running through all content by hour 2 of day 1 (and then they cap their myth if they care about alts) and by the 3rd-4th hour of FFXIV are done for the week and can go do real life stuff... I don't even know where to begin with people mentioning crafting and questing (not sidequests). Questing in FFXIV means you kill some # of mobs, events all involve waiting for some boring FATE to pop, and crafting has become completely useless for now once again (unless you cook).

So to sum it up the hardcore players are the ones that play this game the most casually odd, right?

>Claims game is too easy
>Still wearing Darklight pieces

Do people not realize how comments like this make them look silly? Im not saying I agree with OP or disagree I miss XI and I like XIV too but seriously.. because someone is CURRENTLY GEARED AS X JOB in Y GEAR SET DOESN'T MEAN THIS IS THE MAIN JOB! The argument is invald.. Hell im pretty sure im set up as a kyri on here right now? Ill probably be a level 12 archer or something? But funny story, Im actually lv 50 on all dow/m minus arcanist, I have full lv i90 sets on my main, my alt (not even the one in the picture) has lv 40-50 all DoL/H and a few DoW/M as well but have been using Kyri(my old main) since 2010 on forums so yes, I stay as my now alt I changed the name to and race to. Point being a lot of people have alts and don't log off on their main jobs so please stop acting like looking them up in darklight vanity or af makes you superior to knowing what they are talking about please.

Sorry it just really drives me crazy when I see this as ones argument towards a disagreeing point made by someone else.
