New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[linay]

It should just be included in your stormblood purchase. Like how WoW gives you a max lvl character for the upcoming expansion when you buy the new expansion.

Like I said before, a character in WoW is more limited than a character in FFXIV. Change your mind about your class or just want to play another class and you suddenly have to pay for a $60 boost per character. A story skip + job boost in FFXIV only cost $50 and $25 for each additional job boost.

WE. LIKE. THE. GAMEPLAY. THE MMO ELEMENTS.

Those exist starting at level 10 as soon as you unlock guildhest, or level 15 if you wait until unlocking Sastasha, or level 1 if you play with other people from the start.

You act as if we don't love the game as well, i wouldn't be playing if i didn't.

If you like the game why you want to skip most of the game ?

So basically what I said earlier, salt over things not being free. I understand now. *thumbsup* carry on

[MarniDawg]

Lol your argument is so full of it. You just can't fathom the idea of good practices to bring in new players.

But *shrug* okay, you keep being ignorant. I'm not going to waste my time.

ok I'll bite. Other than giving out free story skips, what good practices would you suggest that they have already stated that they would work on fixing?

[Wynn_Storm]

I like how so many people here act as if i don't have the MSQ completed already.

I skip all the cutscenes, because i don't really care.

But oh well. Yeah i am just a salty person looking for free handouts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This game is not only an MMO it’s also a JRPG if you remove or separate the JRPG elements from the game it becomes just another generic MMO

if some people want the mmo more than the jrpg, why force them? No one is saying remove story from the game. They are just saying give those who dont want to do story, or want to do it on their own terms, that option.

Because they are other game that focus on that, and that a game shouldn't be change because a little part decide they only wanted the half of it.

its a game as a service, it changes all the time.

when i first started it was 1.0, the entire story structure was way different, as was leveling, things changed

then i leveled a new charachter for 2.0, like 250 quests. getting from start to endgame was a lot less msq, and you get like 10 quests every 2-3 months. Also by 50 you had alk your skills, complete rotations.

now, a new player buying shadowbringers because they like dancer and this warrior of darkness in a light world, would have to do like, 700 quests, thats a lot. Your new friend asks when he can play gunbreaker, and you tell him, you just have to do 700 quests to unlock it. Even if he did 10 quests a day, thats like 2 months.

the game has changed, with every expansion, the ladder for newbies grows. They can give exp bonus rings for newbs, and preorders, lower experience needed to level, but MSQ is currently a binary hard lock on content.

its not the same being a new player now, the game has changed, msq needs something to balance out those changes.
