It's Time To Wake up

Having new abilities just to have abilities is bad.

They could have added traits that improve existing abilities (instead of direct replacements because of level sync) and put an ultimate awesome ability at 55 and 60 or even just 60.

Blood of the dragon's proc effect could have been handled differently.

And hosting the servers on a better network would help with lag by a ton. I shouldn't have to pay for tunneling because of their crap. The network host they use is a business cloud full of redundancies. Adds up to lag.

This sums up the community well. You are afraid of change, and I understand this, esp with the ffxi to ffxiv 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0. However, this has to be dealt with.

Says who? You? Please dont speak for me.

Some of the skills you listed a few pages back do come in handy, especially while you are leveling. Here is the catcher though, EVERYONE'S PLAYSTYLE IS DIFFERENT. Period. Who are you to say what shall and shant be? Your complaints of the DK skills in the post I'm snip quoting dont cry bloat to me, they cry revamp.

To the first bolded point -- this sums up your dismal attitude. Sure, some skills at ENDGAME arent very usefull because they are low level abilities. Lets take BLM for example. Yet take those skills away and now you have crap to use while you are leveling.

Also you throw everquest in your first post (along with many other MMO's (aside from diablo but even then) and talk about freedom. What freedom? Choice is an illusion in EVERY MMO. Every single one. The only "choice" you get would maybe be in wow. Even then there is no freedom. Each build has a set of skills that are required to be the best at your spec. Everquest has SO MUCH BLOAT its not even funny. I played that for 10 years, trust me I know.


My only sort of agreement is that the combat system in general is kind of lackluster to the effect that its more obvious in XIV that there is no "freedom".

Blood of the dragon's proc effect could have been handled differently.

whats wrong with botd's proc effect? It adds fun to the balance of geirskogal and keeping the buff on. Personally, I love it.

Abilities are fine as they are now, but I can't imagine SE wanting to make it more complicated going from 60 to 70. I would think some things would have to be cut out if they added more abilities in. Rotations for a lot of jobs right now are very long as it is.

Being correct or not has nothing to do with whether you're being arrogant.

Edit: especially in cases like this where it's not a matter of being correct or not, but matters of opinion.

Yes it does. Being arrogant is saying something you cant make true. Otherwise you are simply saying a fact. Facts cant be arrogant, you know? Facts can be correct or incorrect, however.


It's amusing tho, I ment it in an ironic way. That you responded to it is...interesting.
I don't understand many things. Like any other human. If someone were to accurately point this out, this would be a fact. There would be no arrogance there.

If someone were to post that you dont understand rocket science. Well chances are pretty good that indeed you do not. Would it make it arrogance to say that? Well if the topic is rocket science and you dont understand rocket science, its a far point.

The irony in my previous post by the way, is the fact that ''you dont understand'' has been used faaaaaar too much in the past. Yet, it still applies plenty of times.
It's important to realise this.


But I get it, a lot of people (apparently) dislike hearing ''you dont understand'' these days. If tho, probably, you (we) dont.

That depends on what you are pointing out. Mostly its just opinion 99% of the time and people think its fact. Stating "you dont understand" in the context it was used (not your post, the one he quoted), is 100% opinion.

Just want to throw this in here...

Arrogant
ar·ro·gant
ˈerəɡənt/
adjective
having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
"he's arrogant and opinionated"

~From Google

So no. Being arrogant is not saying something that can't be true. You can be absolutely 100% correct, and still come across as an arrogant prick.

[Alistaire]

There's also nothing ironic about what they posted either. I get the feeling they may be one of those people that makes up their own definition to things.

This isn't the best way to end a rant about how you're not being arrogant

[Hyrist]

Anyone else see the poetic irony of a person lost in their own opinion and viewpoint of the game asking others to 'wake up'?
