The Other Side of The (Raid) Force

[Dererk]

This was discussed months ago and please no wer so close to the expansion people lets not go backwards 5 big patches just to add an easy story mode to coil let us instead move forward to new content there's no point in spending the time and resources to do this when the game already lacks certain things like a glamer log wer running out of inventory space people.

More echo will surly be added but the mechanics they won't get rid of them and people using the excuse of we pay a sub there by we have a right to it well its already there you need to work for it. If a person pays for a lottery ticket dose that mean they have a right to the jackpot even if their ticket is a loseing one.


I mean for crying out loud I do love story's and will work to see them completed.

I take the majority of people here are angry that there is a story mode for Alexander? People make suggestions on what would make the game better for them usually, and sometimes better means less stressful.

If SE took things to an extreme in either direction, the game would suffer, that much is obvious. If Alexander serves folks on both sides of the aisle, deriding folks on either side won't near as valid a thing for raids.

Nope not angry. Now instead of actually having to do endgame, Ill just beat the easy mode in 2 days. Then go play another game and take my sub money with me.

People talk about not alienating casuals because they pay sub money but you don't want to alienate endgamers either because they also pay sub money. And usually the endgamers pay their subs much longer.

I'd rather not have to do things I don't want to either, I do however enjoy playing with others even on content I've already beaten. No one person is an island.

Interesting statement in more than one way.

What about rainds do you "have" to do? In what way are they manditory?

You want them to be remade easier for you? But other people are the special ones?

Also, you want to

World of Jokecraft and this.

As funny as it is to see silly names for World of Warcraft, you shouldnt turn a blind eye to the model that Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn has taken. If you go and look at the history and path WoW has taken, then look at the path ARR took. You might be surprised to see that it is the same, the difference is that ARR is in Final Fantasy skin. Oh and that World of Warcraft removed flying, because it was a decition they have regreted ever since they introduced it in The Burning Crusade. Because it reduced the world into nothing.

So you might dislike WoW all you want, as do i. But im not blind too what path FFXIV is on.

Trust me no1 is more aware of this fact then me. And it depresses me greatly. If i wanted to faceroll an MMO i coulda just subbed to WoW. FFXIV definately seemed to have more depth to it, until recently when they started swinging the nerfbat harder than Babe Ruth.

No offense, but sometimes people dont know what they want or what will be good for them in the long run. Quality of life, convenience and ease of access. All sound great. In some cases it is, but in others it greatly diminishes the depth of the game and the oppertunities you can find within the game.

On this particular point of content and access, there should always be something to reach for/work towards. You might call it stressful, others might appreciate having something out of reach giving them "reason/longevity" to continue playing.

Its great for all those that want to see the story in Heavenswards raid, that there will be two seperate modes. Personly i would rather see Square Enix adding more content that is out off reach"exclusive", seeing everything around me become ease of access, quality of life and convenience is quite depressing.
Speaking of the gaming industry in general and the path games is taking. Too much instant gratification and shallow sensasionalism.
Oh well atleast ill have fishing under a dragon....

No, the majority are not angry. Apparently you don't know how difficult the story mode will be either. If you can't complete coul now, you most likely will notbe completing Alex NM. Its still going to be difficult. Also creating two modes for new content is very different from dedicating resources to remake old content.

But it seems you dont really have a gripe at all. You can see the story without completing content, and they are making all old content much easier via the unsynced queue system. What is your issue exactly? That you have to play the game? Or do you just want to complain about more skilled payers for some imagined offense?

"i suck" is one of the biggest cop-outs i've ever seen and I'm sorry but this just does not apply to almost everything in this game. TITAN EX DOES THE SAME MOVES EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! It's called knowing what you are doing not "i suck"

Reaction time / lag / brain farts... all of these can EASILY be defeated if you just took 5 mins to look at a rotation list and say ok this is what i need to be ready for.

It's is 100% acceptable that you DO NOT get to experience something you can even put a minute amount of effort into accomplishing. Probably less than .05% of people on this entire form could get together with 7 other people and perform a choreographed dance number (successfully) without at least looking at the moves list first... so why in the hell would you expect to be able to do that in the game?
