Mahjong is the most depressing mini game you've added to XIV

[JBee]

I like Mahjong, even if I'm not very good at it. I wasn't excited for it, but I was definitely going to try it out.

First player match took over an hour.



Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.

@Whatever mod moved this thread here - Thanks for putting this somewhere that WILL NOT GET MUCH ATTENTION AT ALL. That's why I put this in the General Discussion forum, because people will ACTUALLY see this damn thread.

Did you read what's been said in the thread, or did you just skim over. It's an issue with the Rating system, and it not being explained well at all. They did a terrible job at it and didn't let people know from the start they should be pushed away from achievements for good due to other players knowing the game better than they do. The only way to not get a rating change it to only play against NPCs, but you get NOTHING out of it at all from doing that. They've also locked collection stuff behind an achievement that is linked to rating, and not ranking, which again THEY DO NOT EXPLAIN AT ALL.

SO kindly go back and read a bit.

The rating is the most stupid thing the devs could add. They probably wanted to copy "official mahjong league" or something, but they just forgot the difference between "professional mahjong players" and "FFXIV players playing a side game". Every mini-game in FFXIV have been damaged because the devs take these mini-game way too seriously.

yes i read it, and precisely said that. Theres nothing to prevent u from learning the game or get there on ratings. This game isnt remotly hard or difficult to catch on.

There's nothing to prevent people from learning it, yes. But when the game dies down very quickly in all non asian servers and the ONLY people left are the few that know the game very well, it's hard to stand any kind of fighting chance when you are against them.

I still haven't found out where it is located in the game, i wouldn't mind trying it out for a min or two but I have heard it isn't what regular mahjong is.

The 'regular mahjong' you're thinking is more than likely the Mahjong Tiles that people in non asian countries know of, where you remove the tiles in pairs to try to clear the whole board. This is actual Traditional Mahjong they added to the game, where you have to have 4 players in it, giving you more chances to play against someone who knows the game well before you can really grasp the basics. And you can pre-emptively see you're outmatched when you see people with high rankings in the game, while your rank says 'novice'
