November? really?

A life, do you need it? >< My god, do you work? Or go to school? Have a relationship? ANYTHING? I cant personally run through the content like that. Ive more then enough to do in the game..

Attacking someone about their personal life on the basis of a list of things that they still want to do in-game seems kind of misguided at best; at worst it's terribly aggressive and rude. So they enjoy many aspects of the game. What's it to you? Why does that make you feel the need to ask them about their personal lives and what they do or don't have there?

I'll never understand this attitude.

It's rather the opposite actually, people don't enjoy certain parts of the game, and the white knights attack. Almost any post that has "This community" or "This Forum" or something similar should be taken with a grain of salt.

Edit: This thread is moving too fast, lol

Actually, it works both ways. Any sort of enjoyment gets sniped at by some snide comment, any sort of criticism gets hotly defended and the person commenting put into question.

Both sides are responsible for the toxic environment, and it's a major contributor to why many people avoid the forums.

Yes, I will admit it does go both ways and it was rather rude to bring up personal life stuff over FFXIV.

To do so in a derogatory fashion, certainly. But I don't think it is wrong to raise the question of a person's individual health when signs are being made that perhaps a healthy life is being traded away for more game time. Concern for someone's health should not be discouraged.

I can't speak as to the context of the conversation in question specifically as I confess I did not read it.

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned a long while back just what sort of things exploratory voyages would go over, such as using your FC ship, entering as a full alliance, it not being instanced, and hunting notorious monsters. Void Ark they'd go over drop rules, party compositions, all of which are givens since it's a Ct-styled content. From my end, it's retelling us what we already know because I already expected these sort of things based on the previous preview they have already given us or stray developer comments in the forums.

Nothing in indications of any of the records state that the zones are not instanced. In fact, IIRC this is last live letter was first mention of any sort of concept that there was other parties sharing the same area with you. And from the indications of such, it sounds like it won't be crowded. Again, this is all speculative. But the details I was referring to was the reward structure of Exploratory Missions, the possiblity of randomized loot that could equate to high-tier 210 gear, where before we had no idea whether or not these drops would even be relative to endgame. That changes things rather dramatically.

It's not the first time they've mentioned that you'd be tackling this with other people aside from your party/alliance. The only thing that's new is that the type of rewards they give, but new content giving rewards is a given., whether or not its equal to tomestone gear or upgraded tomestone gear. Void Ark dropping ilvl 200 or 210 wouldn't make much of a meaningful impact because we're still going to do them anyway if the ilvl 200 pieces are better optimized stats than eso, or its ilvl210 and it serves as an alternate way of gearing toward savage. I just don't feel like it's a good use of their time to go through setting up a liveletter just to announce something like that.

Of course there's also the details they brought up on LoV, but hardly anyone is talking about that from what I see.

I don't argue, you thought I was asking a question, you misunderstand.. Must be a lot of boys in here. O.o

First off, you're going way off topic.

Second off, gender has nothing to do with this game, there's girls in my static and they're sick of having nothing to do as well, so much that we all just play other games, we were really hoping for a sooner release date for 3.1, but November is insane, if you have things to do outside of the game, that's totally fine, enjoy yourself, but please understand, for some of us, this is where we go to play with our friends and hang out, real life is aggravating, I don't need this game that I play for fun to become static and aggravating as well.

The fact that your post had question marks in it indicated that you were, indeed, asking questions.

The comment about boys seems completely non-sequitur, but okay.

I wasn't "Attacking" anyone. If you think that was an "attack" you are un-aware of what an "attack" on someone is.. Ive seen attacks by people on the forums, and that wasn't it. lol

You don't think asking someone "A life, do you need it?" along with all of your other questions in response to them giving a list of things they'd like to accomplish ingame is an attack? They outright said that's a list of things they'd still like to do.
