Void Ark... Players are getting sick of Palette Swap Gear.

[Gilraen]

Square isn't 'dumping it all' into XIV. Square actually has several game presently in development or nearing release. Dragon Quest Heroes is coming out soon, that was in development while XIV AND XI is operating. There's XV coming soon(TM), people have said it's looking very promising. They are also developing XI's mobile spin-off in anticipation with XI's eventual shutdown. And then there's Tomb Raider coming soon(TM). Square never really just does one thing, I can't think of any companies that do.

Precisely, yet everyone whining that they're making "all this money" and not spending it on content in *this* game don't seem to understand that.

Yeh, we have no idea how much money they make or how they spend it. Meh, if people are unhappy with lack of content, or whatever, unsub. Wallet speaks the most to SE, did people forget what happened with 1.0? No one subbed, everyone left...and look what happened.

I mean I agree, this game needs more variety, it needs a lot...but meh, they don't seem to listen to the player base like they used to.

They listen just fine. They just literally can't add everything any player has ever suggested on a whim.

They listen? soo..we've interesting stats on our gear and horizontal progression? WOOOEEEEEEEEEE where!? Lemme tell my friends so they can come back O_O

They...they added real NM and not invisible FATES!? They stopped palette swapping...wait..

There has been more then adequate time with how long they delayed the expansion to add at least interesting stats to our gear, or at least ONE new variety of content....but nothing. But they listen, right?

I recall people asking for this way back in 2.0, so you think from 2013 - 2015 they can't introduce ONE of these things?

Just let them get their white knight class up to level 60, apologists litter these forums. Even something like 5/12 jobs share the same gear model for new content is defensible to them. When no one takes this game seriously anymore, the apologists here can look forward to playing LoTR online reborn.

Let me reiterate. They literally cannot add every single silly and/or stupid idea people have, no matter how badly they want it. Wanting something =/= entitlement to that thing. Sorry to break it to you. And everyone else with your attitude.

Don't like it? You can always unsubscribe.

They tried NM's with hunts. Tell me, do you think if NM's could only be claimed by one group, FFXI style, and contained exclusive and powerful loot there wouldn't have been an insane outcry from the community?

If the Devs don't want horizontal progression there wont be horizontal progression. It's as simple as that. Not to mention, just because you want horizontal doesn't mean the next person does too. Which is entirely the reason there aren't 'complex'/'interesting' stats on gear.

How is interesting abilities on gear a silly or stupid idea? They've been a staple of the RPG genre for who knows how long now, and are a more interesting way to spice up progression instead of flat stats boosts. It's also been one of the most requested features for a long time, so you can't throw out the "It takes time" thing. In fact, I'd say the majority of ideas they have listened to are "silly". Minions? I'd consider them to fit into the silly category. Now don't get me wrong, they have listened to a lot of the things we've requested, but there are a lot of highly requested ones that they've flat out ignored.

Telling people to unsub is always a great idea! The more that unsub because they would like more added to see the game flourish, the better! Why post ideas and suggestions on the forum when we can just unsub. Great idea.

DONT LIKE STUFF GUYS JUST UNSUB...don't stick with it and support the game..just quit.

And no, you're wrong. The devs DID say we would get horizontal gear, want me to pull it up where it was said? The cactus community rep said it in 2.0 days. It is not just "ME" who wants horizontal...a lot of people do. Not 100% horizontal...but if you think the game is fine right now...ooh boy. It's not horrible end of days..but it could use some stuff added to it.

Oops, double posted lol.

Oh , you are asking for proof...okay! here, enjoy:

I too was dissapointed by the gear designs for Void ark not only by the fact that everyone looks identical but also it literally has no identity at all. When seeing the first concepts for void ark I was picturing something a bit alien-y and hoped maybe the gear would be a more out-there and darker Poetics/cybery look. I'm not sure I want to faceroll content just to look like everyone else.

See it this way.
The Ark is a black airship, builded by black mages, full with black armors. The white armor is from a whitemage spy.
