Thread: 2.2 has sucked all the fun out of the game...

Love 2.2, Can't complain about nothing to do haha.

:P

But seriously, i'm getting bored of these posts. People moaned and complained that nothing required work, everything was too easy, they had no reason to go to old zones, they wanted reasons to keep playing on more than 1 day a week, and this patch started to remedy that (and not just with Atma).


Except this isn't what either casuals or hardcore players want, what they want is easy mode/hardcore patches consisting of the content volume equivalent of the old novel "War and Peace" every 3 months or threaten ragequit.

All for $.50cents per day, which of course is also outrageous.

Every patch there are always the minority/majority few that complains that the game is too grindy. Why? Its usually because they feel they are lagging behind. There are still quests and stuffs you still need to do before you can complete/attempt instances in 2.2. Like for example:

1. Have you killed Twintania? Well no ? Then work on it. Its 2.1 content but its a a GAME content that you have to do to get into 2nd coil of Bahamut. Its not like you killed Twintania 20 times before 2.2. Well NO. If you cant attempt it blame on no one but yourself. Its easier with party finder. Just open a practice party. Filter the players lacking in skills. Open a linkshell and get the good ones to practice with. Sooner or later you get into a static and things get more fun.

2. Gears. It was exactly the same with 2.1. We still need to farm for myth with weekly lock of 450. We still have 2 loots per turn every week and pray for good RNG. Its the same. So why complain now? Again. Because they are lacking so far back. They just want SE to put them in the same starting point with players who make an effort to gear and clear content. Really? #NOYOLOSWAG. Gears in 2.1 are not deemed obsolete in 2.2. You need them to attempt 2.2 content. Just progress nicely and you be able to get into content sooner rather than later.

3. Primals. Before Extreme. It was Hard Mode. Most people couldn't even get past Titan without a carry paying millions of gil for it. Then Extreme came. People pay for it. Well. Cant do Levi ? Its the same cycle since 2.1. So why complain now ? Why.. Because again lacking in game. Others are already clearing and farming it while you cant attempt it because you slack during 2.1. Casuals problem? Well i know a lot of casual players in game who could get their weapons and stuffs. They don't log in 24/7. They have jobs and kids to be responsible for. So whats your reason?

Its funny seeing people complain about content. Well SE did not obligate you to play, so whats stopping you? Don't complain about stuff being grindy, its too difficult, its too long.

Farming fates for ATMA? Goodness Gracious. Its not even a month since 2.2 and people are complaining about the drops. The next patch is in 3 months. Its suppose to sustain you for 3 months. If content are suppose to be done in a week or two. Its going to get boring and more players will quit. Its all about sustainability. Take your time. Don't get burnt out doing content. People with ilvl100 weapons, SO? Play it at your own phase. Just so you are able to clear content and go on to the next patch.

Personally for me i don't even bother with getting server first or world first? Why? Because there is still more to outside life than achieving those stuffs in game. Your friends quitting but you love this game ? Leave the FC, leave your friends. If your friends are only restricted to online communications and not outside life then i feel sorry for you and your friends. Leave them and join another FC/group. A FC/group that is willing to bring new players and tackle new content together. Sticking around for a friend has brought me no where in game. Finally i made the decision to go solo and find 7 others to form a static. Finally. After so long. Just after 2.2. We got our finalised 8. It was long but it was worth it.

All true, but if you think about it, many people have been trying to defeat Titan EX for months and it is a massive roadblock to being able to enjoy the new primals. (Echo serves as almost zero help in this fight)

Now you may say well you don't deserve to fight Moogle and Levi ex if you can't beat Titan, but both fights aren't anywhere near as hard as Titan Ex, its really odd game design to put easier content after harder content and has locked out a huge portion of the player base from enjoying the so called "new" content.

The 3 new dungeons are all great but extremely easy and have devolved into speed run rinse and repeat rubbish.

Coil 2 being locked out if you haven't beat Twintania is fine IMO because there is a understandable progression there, but I don't see why this is the case with Primals.
