Yes! I feel so immersed!

[DracotheDragon]

so all i got was "MAH IMMURSIONS I AM REAL FAN REAL FAN I TELLS YOU! NUH NUH I NUH LIKES THIS"

2 things

1 grow up it's a MMORPG theres going to be cross promotions and you have said minions are easter eggs WELL I GUESS THEESE 13 MINIONS ARE EASTER EGGS THEN.

and 2) if this is what ruins a game for you then what are you playing a mmorpg in all technicallity valintines day and christmas (and there eorzian counter parts) are just shoehorned versons of real life events , since the story is litteraly just santa claus and saint vallintines, which for some people is 'immersion braking' sometimes with games with a long life you need little things out of it to give the player a brake and something new to look at


also this isnt the first time they have done this, look at ff13-2 where you had to PAY FOR A CROSS OVER DLC with mass effect.

i'm normaly more calm and collected but ALL i have seen for the last few months is non stop complaining it is just irritating now. why does noone play a game to have fun anymore.

I guess the OP has not seen one of my saviors of Eorzea...this heroic warrior of light running around with her trusty sidekick Mr Piggy.



...or one of my other heroes of Eorzea flying around on his giant dandelion mount or rocket feet propelled spinning turtle mount.

I kinda get it. It's what happens when players put certain games on these over the top, soaring over the heavens type of pedestals. So high and free of taint the games remain pure white virgins for the rest of existence in their hopes and dreams. Until the game gets a blemish in their eyes and they want to lock it in a room away from the world so it doesn't happen again.

Games, especially MMO's can't remain a virgin forever, less it becomes a wallflower, enjoys repeating the same conversations, not very fun at parties either! Games eventually do have to open up, take off the white dress and decide eggshell is a better color for the sake of showing it had a little fun now and then.

The same goes for the person you were replying to, I just happened to see your response and not his/hers. Sorry of you feel like I picked on it.

I just find it annoying when people have a problem with others disliking something and always pull out the whine card. Obviously this thread is way out of hand now, but I was speaking in general. There's so many people who will come on someone's thread and just tell them to stop complaining when whoever created it is allowed to be disappointed over something if they don't like it.

It's even worse when people bring the whole community into it as though this one player created every negative thread on the front page.

I cant't believe there is really a forum for this. Many games do this and the most popular one is Maplestory and Mabinogi. Mabinogi did something with SAO and Maplestory did something with AoT. A Korean game known as Elsword Online collabs with famous KPOP idols and groups and it still manages to keep the game fun and exciting. I don't understand why a simple event with Yokai Watch makes you so salty? Events like this bring in revenue for the game the other party so it is a win-win.

For the record, I've played Elsword, and the game is in a very sorry state at the moment with the over emphasis on sell-outs and advertising. The most notorious was the character announcement for Rose, and the only (reasonable) reactions from the people whoere in that live event were utter silence. It doesn't become fun or exciting when they keep adding fluff events rather than addressing game issues in regards to balance (especially when they heavily promote the PvP scene).

Having these sort of things is fine in moderation, but it shouldn't get to the point that it influences the direction of the game. They even had the original trio's transform job stances be modeled after K-pop idols, and the result was that they all had more-or-less the same poses that feels awkward on some of them, and misleading to their character growth.

i havent played NA elsword in a long time and i dont plan on going back anytime soon. kr elsword has to come up with event/dungeons and more gameplay now since they basically ended the whole story of the game not too long ago. i believe that na elsword is dying slowly but they keep rushing things so people would stay stuck to the game and play more.

The state of KR isn't any much better to be honest (excluding RMT and economic issues). Those events continue to pump enhancement items that further exasperate the power-creep nature of equipment; everyone ends up blazing through dungeons effortlessly with mounts and +8 (or higher) from events, unless the entire party is using +6s (and that's assuming they aren't using some of the OP'd characters). The PvP scene is also a joke with the lack of balancing, the aforementioned enhancements, and the stubborn need to keep introducing new characters and hold PvP tournaments (Which factors said enhanced equipment, so the actual matches itself becomes a joke).

Back on topic though; It's not the case in FFXIV in regards to the power creep, but it is losing the sense of the "FFXIV identity" that I played for back in 2.0. It's become less of that and more of a fantasy kitchen sink with all the wacky additions and direction of content. I'd be fine with silly things like Hildibrand because that's the exception, and it's a nice redirect from the usual fare. I'm not fine with things like that being the usual fare, because it feels like it even takes away from Hildibrand content if it's no longer the exception.
