Really starting to get discouraged from playing.

What id love to understand is why ppl always go back to 1.0? it looked better character graphic wise sure but other then that it was a big op world mess with copy and paste in every zone. And was all around ugly and busted yet some ppl on here act like 1.0 was this super amazing game i feel bad for SE i mean they re built the game made it something much better {ty Yoshi} and doing what most companies never do. This is the first expansion give them time

That's the problem. Its the first expansion. A Realm Reborn was meant to fix and save FFXIV. And it did but now we have a expansion this was the time they were supposed to add new things but no its just the same old dungeons run kill trash boss kill trash boss kill trash boss. Raids get in kill trash boss gtfo. Go to next part and repeat. No there is no excuse to them doing the same old things in an expansion.

We had those stats in 1.x and it was amazing

I thought they said they are putting that stuff back in with the expansion release..so what gives?

Ohhh When did they say this?

Because for the eleventeenth time, people were not complaining about these cool aspects of the game, they were complaining about UI clunkiness, bugs, maps, on top of lack of content at launch. Basically, an unfinished game with implemented later on bad choices made by the team like the fatigue system that only made things worse. No one is asking for that to come back, they are asking for the GOOD things the game had to come back. Some people here been waiting longer than lil me.

At lest in 1.0 it was an adventure just to get to the dungeon or primal trial ground to do the stuff. Heck even just hanging out in Ul Dha was interesting just siting around looking at the different groups forming for stuff. The combat was exciting the fights not scripted to the point where you can know ahead what's coming.

8 man Dark hold.

Its a sad day when I actually miss hamlet defense.

I agree with the OP. Everything feels the same because it IS the same. I enjoy the game but it does get tedious. It's basically tomes and a new raid every major patch. Of course they're fun for a while but look at the previous - tomes of philosophy, mythology, soldiery, poetics, law, esos.. It's all exactly the same thing with a new appearance.

1.19-1.23 is what most people are referring to when they describe 1.0 as fun. At that point, the devs were experimenting with a variety of content and making small improvements on the game. Sure, the world was still copy paste and it was poorly optimized, but they gave us an interesting questline, the materia system, jobs, and many other things. Also, the original soundtrack was by far a superior product to what has been made for 2.0+.

Three years later before the first patch of 3.0 a lot has changed from their original promises. We've seen the gameplay dumbed down significantly, a massive reduction in the number of useful stats, the materia system completely neglected, the market system still in need of QoL improvements, bloated inventories, and a lack of options to gear up more than one class at a time for the use at endgame. Live letters are also much different from how they were three years ago. Anyone who has paid attention since at least 1.18 should have noticed this.

They've had their time and unfortunately for many players they've come up short.

It sucks that I didn't have a good computer to run the game at the time. 1.0 Could have been a good game had they released a finished product.

LOL I played on a lap top ran ok but stuff like the dungeons and hamlet defense was a nightmare as a tank. But still logged in every day. Its funny how people go on saying of master race(farts...) yet even the best pcs had trouble running it.

Totally agree with the OP.

I'd love big changes to gear and the combat system. Give each job 2 different weapon types, make skills change depending on which of the weapons you have equipped. Make weapons swappable in combat to adjust to different situations. I'd be all over stuff like that.

2 weapon types? Oh, so that dark knights can be ridiculed for using a greatsword instead of a scythe. No thanks.

And that came from where exactly?
