There is alot I want to say at this moment and please don't all pull my wig at once.

[ThatLuluThough]

So first off let me say that Final Fantasy 14 has been a very good MMO...….that being said now lets talk about what I notice has been going on with a lot of those very good ones. Lately there have been maintenances left and right for a subscription based game including with as many maintenances that there has been there should be compensation in the past 2 weeks of this month there have been about 6 roughly around I might be wrong 3 emergency 2 normal and the market one coming up. In a subscription based game that time taken off should be given back especially if there are so many so quickly. That to me just seems fair you know like common sense I guess I am sure everyone will disagree cause that is what we do the internet we disagree with each other haha. (The Maintenance information was wrong so ignore that)


Now I would like to move on to the second thing how lazy the Eureka outfit designs have gotten sorry I know a lot of people love you and will back you up for anything Yoshi P...but I am going to be that one *beep* you guys have gotten so lazy with your design for outfits I know you feel really comfortable cause your game is doing well and you are proud which you should be however don't get too proud yet cause look at W.O.W. very confident in themselves until it all fell apart. Now I don't why the monk and the ninja are in bard clothing but....sis....I mean ….sis you know what I mean? Now before we continue down the road of everything else currently wrong that everyone is just ok with lets talk about how Eureka should only have had 3 areas for the max gear I don't know why you continued with Eureka knowing that almost everyone disliked it, but you did so that being said I preferred the way relic hunting was in Realm Reborn & Heavensward, but you know people will still back you up cause they are a fan of you I just like to spill the T on the real situation.


Thirdly lets talk glamour shall we? don't you guys love it when the main chars got the best looking outfit and you over here looking ratchet *sips tea* now....I know it can't be that hard to make a long hair if people who mod do it all the time and from what I have seen some of them don't even clip like they did a really good job, so no offense but what is going on with your fashion team like....this is 2019 employ a few millennials or gen z who watch too much reality T.V. and fashion shows and watch that drastic change they can make fashion into fantasy and make armor look fashionable while still being fantasy. Basically all I am doing here is just giving you a little wake up call I don't know if you can fast forward this to Yoshi P but....sis....if the game continues like this its going to be bad that's the bottom line I know a lot of you don't see this now but don't worry I know how this stuff works playing MMO's pretty much since I was a baby.

[ThatLuluThough]

Fourthly, oh you thought we were done? no haha I came to bring the facts today to you most people will argue that the game is arguably the best MMO for this age, and it is however the best MMO can also become the worst when it does not follow the principles of game evolution, a game should not be grindy to be fun I will never ever stop saying that because it is true if your game has to have a chore for people to play it.... your game is failing its purpose *sips tea* now I didn't say don't make it somewhat grindy and somewhat hard to level because that's what makes a game fun but if someone has to spend a month getting into different area's that do the same thing no differently then the last to earn a relic weapon in this expansion *sips tea* is that content? Now before you all pull my wig at once I didn't say make the game easier to get relic weapons I said make it less of a chore I don't care if it takes a month to get the weapon but do not rinse and repeat. So let me stop here with my not even a rant really I just really though I would bring it to attention and at the same time try to get everyone their month back too cause the monthly is expensive. So if you read this thank you for taking the time and I will leave it at that for now its a really good game but don't sleep on your mistakes life has a way to haunt you when you do.


Sincerely, Estella

There have been 6 "all worlds maintenances" since November 26th. That is hardly as many as you make it out to be.


Also, so formatting to your sentences and paragraph structure would make that a lot easier to read. It's a big wall of text that just runs together right now, hard to understand your points.

[ThatLuluThough]

I literally pushed the indent button and pressed enter to space out the paragraphs it did not work *sips tea*. Oh also what do you mean they had 3 emergency maintenances at least for cactuar one to take out something that wasn't supposed to be in patch the second because duty finders weren't working properly and the third because server was messing up and you could find a server for duty or raids or anything and would end up waiting 3 hours so what do you mean hardly as many these were all just 2 weeks ago starting from then.

I went to the lodestone and counted the maintenance notices for all worlds maintenance. Not terribly difficult to do.

I knew my wig would get pulled I just didn't care tbh it was not to offend anyone or give misinformation I also did say roughly around in case I was wrong but I made my points no need for attacking nobody clearly sis and sipping tea is a joke y'all don't stress. Also @Rei I tried to indent and space out everything it does not seem to want to save in that way I said that already too but its alright its whatever no biggie.

6 maintenance in 2 weeks VS 6 in 3 months isn't "roughly", I would consider that pretty heavily leaning towards misinformation.

Your point isn't really valid if it isn't anywhere close to correct...

Indents do not work on this forum.

You have to hit ENTER twice to form separate paragraphs.

You could also stand to lose the attitude. I’ve only read your responses up to this one that I replied to, and it needs some work. Whether it’s your intent to sound snippy or not, work on it.

Your indent worked just fine in the below post...

If you want to be taken seriously (wether its by other people on the forums having a discussion with you or maybe - big maybe - even by the devs), I would strongly advice you to refrain from "jokes" in your posts that add nothing to your point and only making them much harder to read. Specially when you already struggle with things like paragraphs and general "layout".

To adress your points:

1) Before you started playing the game you agreed to something called ToS, which inlcudes a section in regards to how they're gonna compensate you for lost gametime due to maintance and the like. They're not doing that.
Besides you're also blowing this extremly out of proportion and ignoring the fact that most shutdowns are to our benefit - adding of content, bug fixes etc.
Doesnt WoW at least used to have weekly server shutdowns? I dare to say that FFXIV has been pretty tame when it comes to lost playtime.

2) "There's no accounting for taste" - you might not like the Eureka outfits personally, but that doesnt mean they're bad or lazy design.
What are you even refering to? The upgradeable gear? Or the drops from chests etc.? Because if its the later: They're designs from FFXI, put into this content because its supposed to be an hommage to FFXI (and probably because people wanted to see iconic gear pieces from that game). You dont have to like them, you can glamour something else - sorry, that Eureka offered nothing glamour-wise for you this time, but everyone likes different type of things and offering a variety is a good thing.

3) Again: Taste and such. While I agree that I would love to have Alisaies clothes (for example), we also get a wide amount of different types of gear to us and I'm sure everyone can find something they like! At the same time we're also seeing NPC-gear added to the mogstation, so if you really need to look excatly like an NPC... you can.
In case this is refering to Yotsuyu specifically: They explained during FanFest that her outfit was extremly difficult to make and one way they got around it was by not having to account for a lot of movement, like our characters do when they fight. They might be able to figure something out that works for PCs aswell, but with NPCs they obviously have a lot more freedom when it comes to designs.

4) Since long hair isnt actually what we refer to as "glamour", I'm adressing this seperatly: I agree that it is weird how they dont seem to care much about clipping in a lot of ways but still dont give us real long hair options. I can only imagine it hasnt so much to do with clipping, but rather with it being more complicated to make look "natural" and give it proper physics.

5) There has been a long list of Eureka complains - which I guess your last point is? - knock yourself out in one of those threads.
Personally I'm not a fan of Eureka either and I believe it was a huge mistake to include the relic weapon in there, but what everyone should keep in mind is that this is a "Theme-Park-All-You-Can-Eat"-style MMO that has a lot more to offer than just Eureka. If that particular content is not to your taste, there are other things to enjoy! And other ways to get a decent weapon, including raiding, crafting and Ex-primals.
If you find one piece of content not enjoyable, because its to grindy for you, there is an easy solution: Focus on other content the game is offering you and leave the grindy bit to those who - for some reason not clear to me - find enjoyment within it.
Eureka was an experiment and it needs lots of improving, I will say that much. But I respect them for at least trying something new. I still hope that for Shadowbringers the relic weapon wont be included in some Eureka-style content again.
