Lack of End Game Content

[Avraym]

Towards the end of SB I was basically just grinding out random achievements after having savage on farm mode for several months.

There's really not that much to keep people occupied on the combat side of things, and I'm doubting the Ishgard Restoration is going to offer much to DoL/H classes either.

I think so too.

I think so too.

Hi OP, have you farmed all your Titania/Innocence Ex gear/mounts already?

This is good suggestion actually.

Both of the currently released Ultimate fights are a lot of fun. While they are both locked to level 70, UCoB and UwU both have item level syncs on them to preserve their challenge. You won’t get your flashy level 80 skills, but the lack of them won’t be a detriment to your progress. The developers are also planning to release at least two more at some point during Shadowbringers’ tenure, and these will be level 80 fights with the same kind of syncs. They said in an interview that they were aiming for the next fight to be similar to UCoB, which is deemed the harder of the two fights (not that UwU is easy, just far more predictable in its mechanics).

And Scottzone is another LazyPeon who bought LVL/Story skip so all his credibility towards XIV is null and void

From the youtube vids I checked, he has played the entire story, didn't level boost his character, and did older raids in minimum ilevel. So let's be fair in criticizing here.

I think the current endgame content is farming the ex primal mounts.

Then we have the hunt, there is a new mount as well for killing 1000 S ranks in the new areas, these two fates with mount, minions and frog suit. New GNB tank mounts. Then grinding out the fate ranks in the new areas, leveling up the trust maybe? Leveling everything to 80 for the Amaro mount...

Well, we are moving away from true endgame content.

What about solo runs in the Deep Dungeons for that sweet Necromancer and Lone Hero titles?

But yeah, you have to set your own goals in this game, otherwise endgame is just expert roulette once a day and 4 raidturns + ex primal.

Hi Ibkee.

Good question - I have best in slot for Caster/Healer/Tank. (Tomes/Immiculate/King Gear)

I'm sitting on 50+ totems for both extremes.

Hi OP, this content has been available (with early access) for three weeks, but the time to level up and complete the story has to be factored, along with (most) people having lives.

Would you not agree that your situation is somewhat marginal?

Try not playing 12 hours a day, also play other games. Any additional content they put in on release would just have gotten sped through by NEETs like everything else and then we'd still be right back here with the same complaining anyways.

Absolutely... but it doesn't change the situation until 5.1.

A lot more players will start feeling the content pinch once they catch up.

If you don’t have the mounts already, you can get to 99 tokens and buy them a few patches down the line. Probably around 5.3. Otherwise, you can keep farming for the mounts. That tends to be what keeps people going back into the Extremes. Not really the gear, since it becomes obsolete so fast.
