Thread: 5.3 is a long way from now so...

We know now that the patch is a long way to come and the content is pretty much dry atm

The moogle Tomestones are good for mgp farming or the mounts that you missed but... lets face it. Its good and fun for 15 days before the patch, not 2 months.


So, why not letting players something to enjoy, mainly speaking:

- Remove the cap for Allegory tomestones, so people can gear up some more jobs while waiting for the new content, i have all job at 80 now and i could gear something more if only the cap wasnt so ridiculous after all this time.

- Release 1 completed content that is ready for 5.3 and its just waiting for the 5.3 release. (if you have any) (new Eureka / ultimate or whatever)

I know im pretty much pretencious and that some changes require the right timing, i know that the virus wasnt kind to anyone and made things worst for everyone.
Im just throwing out and idea, a request that may sound disrespectful, but im supporting this game and i want to enjoy it at best even now.
Little changes out of the usual schedule could give many benefits to those who are spending their time now on FF14

Im sorry for my English, im just a noob with a keyboard.

Its hard to just "release a piece of content" because its tied into other bits of things. They've have to release the entire patch.

I feel like they could remove the savage restriction in the meantime though. Just a tiny bit ahead of schedule.

yall want too much too fast. even when 5.3 releases there will still be another 3 months to go until 5.4.

tomestone cap increase to 900 only happens at the END of an expansion. never earlier.

savage unlocks only happen a few weeks prior to the release of the next raid tier. if it was done now there would be no reason to run the next 24 man or EX trial. you might as well just invalidate all the work that goes into that.

are you bored? TAKE A BREAK. PLAY ANOTHER GAME. that is the correct thing to do.

Don't get me wrong. This delay is due to unique circumstance which are completely understandable. It still shows the design flaw of the content as a whole. Hence why people are critical of it. You don't have to agree but constantly saying "TAKE BREAKS!" isn't a good answer, especially when they do.

The devs are never going to be able to create content faster than players consume it. It's just never going to happen. People are going to run out of things to do, and no content can be fun forever when you're pounding it week after week.

Taking breaks is a good answer, and if they never come back? Well they'll certainly be missed, but people deserve better than to spend their leisure time with something they no longer have fun with.

Not to say that this game is flawless, but running out of content isn't a design flaw. If you've played FFXIV only for 2 hours a day on weekends only, you've still got significantly more out of your time/money than 95% of other media.

Expecting FFXIV to entertain you year round without end is unreasonable. Humans are designed to get bored of doing the same thing over and over again.
