This patch is waste time 1.20

[Ilean]

Having to do that quest over and over again will result in either of these:

a) Player keeps playing until he has every mog weapon, which is delayed greatly by the annoying quest, then proceeds to take a break from the game since he finished all endgame-ish content.
b) Player gets sick of having to do that annoying quest over and over again and stops playing before getting all mog weapons. He could tell SE was using a cheap trick to try and trick him into playing more so he is less likely to return.

Sure they would get the fanboys to stay interested in the game longer, but at the cost of their other players which are the majority.


SE needs to face the fact that most of their current and potential customers are not OCD and have lots of alternatives when it comes to having fun.

aion free to play in europe, star wars online, guild wars 2, and like 10 new offline games for pc and consoles (skyrim, just to mention 1 of them). wrong time to ask for money after adding a crappy content.

i may sound cynical, but i'm seriously worried. so many friends are quitting this game (1 just ragequitted yesterday after the 7th link-kill before arriving to Boata).

EQ2 went f2p this month as well.

i don't know if you are joking, but games are all about entertainment and fun, not wasting time.

moogle fight is funny and entertaining, moogle quest is stupid and not worth repeating (or doing maybe).

my personal opinion.


nice troll with picture (reported btw ;P ), but i think 50% of players disagrees with your ls (and with me, since i'll keep playing for a while probably, at least til 1.21). i'd very much like SE to fix this quest, and i'd like ppl to be less fanboy and learn how to make constructive critiques.

as always, the patch has good things and bad things. what i don't like is the lack of real content. i've done moogle quest, what now? repeat? no thanks. <- that's what i mean.

most of us, in my ls, have done this quest and we all think it's stupid and are not going to repeat it. that's a feedback from like 20/20 players, it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not.

So you're one of the nerds that reports every single stupid thing. That picture isn't offensive. It's a giant plastic bubble.

[Tano]

and you are one of the trollers who seeks flame in every thread? i honestly don't care. if you think that your picture is not offensive, then you have nothing to worry about, right? next time think before you post.

we are trying to have a contructive talk here, nothing to do with personal stuff.

if you like this patch then good for you, keep paying and have fun but you can't blame other ppl just because they don't think the same.

but please, don't say that this quest is funny, lol. moogle fight is actually pretty good, yes, but the keystone quest sucks.

^ This exactly.

Expect fanboys to rush in and tell you what a piece of crap every other MMO is, especially the f2p and korean ones.




It's saturday night and there are 122 EN, 4 FR and 7 DE in Gyshal.

[Tano]

it's not a fact of "aion sucks", "star wars sucks", "skyrim is not jp", "zelda is on wii", "gw2 has no lala", "ff > all". there are just too many alternatives, lol.

only fanboys like me will keep playing this game ahah.

have fun playing a mmorpg with 20 english-speaking players on each server.

not to mention that the only moogle weapon worth are sword and maybe axe (nice healing effect for tanks), or fists if you like how they look. mages weapons are stupid (mp regen on melee attack, lol, nice), and dd weapons are far inferior then normal gear + crit/atk/str materia (no need for hq, really).
poorly designed, really.

Honestly I'm loving the new stuff. Some of the combos+buffs in the right order can do hilarious things. Fighting random stuff in this game got a million times more fun.
**As for ppl being annoyed about the walking by trees, and the 5 NMs thing... I think it's perfect idea. In my head I see the area around Camp Turning Leaf AS the new dungeon Once you have the items tho, just fight the boss fight by itself and you don't have to worry about strolling through a dungeon each time you die.
**Keep in mind that it really sucks for us end-gamers right now. But be mature and patient. The Game and it's updates are being rebuilt. All these patches until 2.0 will be, fixing the mess over adding content. Remember: Why make large amounts of content only to have it ruined by the game-changing mechanics at the very next patch.


Edit: The title "This patch is waste time 1.20" cracks me up a bit. Aren't video games in general, not to mention MMOs supposed to be time occupiers?

"Be patient with crappy content even though they are charging us"

The twisted idea that you need to do crappy, tedious, monotonous stuff in order to do the parts that are actually fun seems exclusive to poorly designed MMOs. Been gaming for almost 30 years and it was never like that.

Gaming may be almost by definition a waste of time but it's also supposed to be fun.

1-"Be patient with crappy content even though they are charging us"

2-Gaming may be almost by definition a waste of time but it's also supposed to be fun.

1: Correct, and once I start paying my expectations in 1.21 will be higher then ever. If I don't like it, or it isn't enough 'fun' to justify my cost of paying, i'll cancel my subscription until it is.

2: Correct again. Why play a game if it's not fun? For me, FFXIV is fun because i have friends that make it that way. There is enough things to keep us loling for the moment. IF you are not having fun, then by all means, do NOT pay for this. And instead, play another game that is fun. At least until they make it worth justifying the cost for you.
