Everything is dead?

[Iscah]

Sorry, what I mean to say is that I am absolutely 100% certain that timezones and language had nothing to do with it. Because all language boxes were ticked and I've queued both during on and off peak-hours. And the raids were during the weekend no less. that being said server/data centers may be relevant but that's out of my hands.

Are you certain you've set languages in the duty finder settings? It's separate to the setting for your profile.

Being on a Japanese server as well, I can say it makes a huge difference - especially when queuing for eight-man content and endgame dungeons as both are reliant on the party being filled from separate roulette queues to the main leveling dungeons. (I've also read that the leveling roulette ignores language settings, but others do not.)


For finding an FC, have a look on the individual forum for your world - they don't get used much but people do post FC advertisements, and there are a few recent ones.

You will generally find people are quiet in dungeons though. FCs are for socialising, dungeons are for quietly doing your part and getting through it.

I was basing my assumption off of the OP saying they’ve literally bum-rushed the story. It’s a logical assumption to assume that they were likely in HW if they were skipping through everything and were level 57.

With all the EXP boosts available and especially if you're running dungeons on top of working through the story, you'll end up overleveled when you get to 'old level cap' sections.

I've absolutely no idea where I am. Did buy the complete edition, though. And the last MSQ thing I did was kill a snake (leviathan?) in the water on a kind of boat/ferry thing.




You could test your theory by queuing up for Rhitalyn yourself and see. Server and Day of the Week probably plays a role but timezones and languages had nothing to do with it I'm pretty sure.

On Jp server ｢masamune｣ to be specific, Rhitalyn on JP peak hour which is around 8-11 PM jp time on normal workday, with all language ticked 10 min as tank, 8 min as healer 14 min as dps, maybe quicker in 12 AM which is the roulettes reset time and more on holiday, dunno what you are talking about...

Lives in NA but plays in JP datacenter? Why?

[Miminming]

Just try it on Jp server ｢masamune｣ to be specific, Rhitalyn*on JP peak hour which is around 8 PM jp time on normal workday, with all language ticked 10 min as tank, 8 min as healer 14 as dps, maybe quicker in 12 AM which is the roulettes reset time and more on holiday, dunno what you are talking about...

Oh btw just to say Rhitalyn is actually popular time attack here, some people including me queu it on daily basis... for time attack so might not be a good example. Will try queue old trial tonight but i doubt anything need more than 20-30 min atm

I know. But even with my alts and their EXP boosts, I’ve never been level 57 and still in ARR just doing the MSQ. My Twintania alt is level 50 and on Company of Heroes, but that’s only because I spammed Frontlines for several days for the hairstyle.

Every class plays completely different from one another and they all have their unique style and gimmick.

Never have I been thankful or barely even noticed any differences in any of the classes. None of them bring anything unique to the table.

-After playing a certain game for so long, I'm happy to see skills look as good as they do in here. Every attack looks different from each other and feels good.

When everything is a special, nothing is special.

-No thanks, I rather feel like the skills I use mean something.

It's meaningless over-the-top visual overhead that brings nothing but epilepsy to the table.

-No point in kiting, though, at least not that much? I can't find a reason to "kite" world monsters for that long.

Yes in this game it serves no purpose.

-This is completely fake, I do it all the time, helps a lot in dungeons with healings and keeps tanks alive.

-Fake, downtime in which you're pressing 1,2,3 is really low and it's always about reaction/decisions in all forms of instanced content.

-There are many ranged monsters, heck there are many in Thousand Maws of Totorak, did you get that far in the game?

60 hours into the game haven't seen a single shred of evidence for this.

It's impossible.

You're going to lose your mind when you learn about magnets and how they work.

-Which game has "Interesting combat" according to you? If FFXIV is uninteresting to you combat wise I feel sorry for the rest of the MMORPGs as FFXIV is the best in the market right now.

Please you must be joking? Since you mentioned WoW before let's take a glimpse at how dynamic that games combat was in 2006.

-There is such content, perhaps you skipped it? Like you seem to have skipped many functionalities and aspects of the game?

Nothing in the world is a threat to me or has ever been in this game or has required any kind of strategy or even thinking on my part whatsoever.

-There's more than that, it's the MMORPG in the market with the most active players.

You're right, there's more; but it's not even close to being the most active. And it's barely an MMOPRG. Looks to me like it's barely an ORPG.

-Can't tell, you quoted many aspects of the game which aren't real for FFXIV. You're either playing a different game and posting on the wrong forums or... Who knows?

Or maybe you're wearing rose-tinted glasses? Who knows?

Maybe the first question you need to answer is what do you want to get out of the game? You seem to very much not be here for story. If you're only really interested in running instanced content with other players, you may just be better off biting the bullet and buying a story and job boost. You'll find higher concentrations of players in the open world. You'll be able to run dungeons and trials and raids that might be more engaging, more current and therefore active content. Probably also buy yourself a transfer to a more appropriate data center. Gonna be hard to get much meaningful player interaction with a language barrier, to say nothing of time differences.

Basically, if you're rushing yourself through MSQ, have you stopped to ask why?

After the first 10 hours of pick three glittery dust from this location or talk to these three completely meaningless people hidden somewhere over here I just kind of don't give a shit about 90% of any of that stuff.

Why not just go back to WoW, then?
Go play that calculator simulator with chinese RNG weekly grind and decaying class design to the point it can be played from a cellphone now.

[roses_of_may]

I don't play WoW.

[Siete]

I don't play WoW.

Then what other MMO did you play for reference?
