Lost motivation..

You aren't alone on the atma grinding, though honestly I'm more annoyed with the locking out of Turn 6+ in coil if someone hasn't completed turn 5, much like how they did the same thing last patch with the primal fights. I've cleared every primal EX from 2.1 and there is no practical reason why someone needs to wait on Garuda to go fight Titan or Ifrit, and the problem is going to get worse now that they've thrown in Leviathan and King Moogle Mog extremes, requiring people to have cleared ifrit just to try them out.

The Coil lockout, requiring you to complete the First Coil before the Second Coil, makes perfect sense because there is a story progression that goes with it. Really, there should be a requirement to have to complete each in order before being able to move on, but there isn't much story between them to be that bothered. Just like how you have to complete the main story to get into end game, and not simply skip it, hit lv50 and just jump straight into end game.

Primal EXs are likely requiring previous defeats because there is an increase in difficulty and level requirement. Just like with the HM, it's about progression. Having access to Levi/Moogle Ex immediately, would more than likely render Garuda/Titan/Ifrit Ex pointless. There's at least some reason to actually do the fights, even if only once.

In both cases, the key word is "progression".

So yea... Like every other thread posted, I'm also sick of the FATE grinding project. Having farmed for about 25 hours in total, running around like a headless chicken and never getting the much-needed crystals to let you progress in the game, really makes me not wanna play anymore.

- I've also been keeping up with the new tribe quests as well, but common... I did this twice already, don't expect the game to "gain more content" just because you add 30 days of 12 repetative quests (3-6 per day).

This is something that I really hate, it's a slap in the face to the players and it ruins the sense of skill required to play this game!

Thanks for the time

Yeah I feel ya, I barely ever log in anymore and my friend spends all his time on FFXI now. I still think it's a great game, but eh, everytime I'm about to log in, I just don't and do something else.

I couldn’t do titan ex tried with my static (that brock today but that’s a different story) tried in DF over 100 times, I’m not the problem but the groups that I get in are, so the rest of the primal is locked for me.
Same goes for T6 since we didn’t win T5.
I wish I could do the relic books, that will keep me playing for a long time but ATMA farming killed it for me (over 860 fates and only got 6).
Can’t farm more than 450 soldiery.

This patch added lots of content yet most of them are locked to me.

So its back to nothing to do other than farming soldiery once a week since I have full ilvl 90, and all my classes are 50 even crafting and I don’t need gill since I played from 1.0.

Do I see myself continue playing this game? I don’t think so.

This is something that I really hate, and it pisses me off to the brim of breaking keyboards and throwing headsets. If you can't make a dungeon or trial, then get better items! Don't give people a freakin handicap for being too low lvl! Gaining more than 1k hp per wipe??? That is so far beyond joke, it's a slap in the face to the players and it ruins the sense of skill required to play this game!

Funny. Last I checked, you could take it off. Besides, some people have good gear and have latency issues, so the few ticks of extra hp helps when plumes make your computer lag.

Let me guess, you are going to tell me to buy a computer. Tell me how to make an extra 600 bucks appear out of thin air and I'll do it :]

If not, then..

Just because I take it off doesnt mean that others will, which makes the run pointless once more. If you're having latency issues it's your own problem, not anyone elses. Can't afford a new computer, then get a job. That's where most people get their money from.

It's a know fact that FFXIV servers suffer from massive lag and latency spikes, we could have all the money in the world and the datacentre will still be half way across the world from Europe.

Network latency issues are normally not a players issue it is the ISP and game servers issue. (Some people can't do anything about that) so jump of that high horse.
