Mods and cheat engine

[Sarevok_Thordin]

I have also been taking screenshots and got complains on my pictures.. "Oh the picture is bad, my character dont have certain mods on..."
Actually, was an extremely negative experience for me because I love making nice screenshots of the cute original FFXIV characters players are making.

"You aren't using my mods!"

Tough lol.

Ive met some people on my NA alt who do ledge sitting in limsa as a big group publicly since like 2017 or so, to this day they still play, ud expect with how pissy people get theyd get reported a lot but nothing in years for them.
As long as they dont harm others and such SE could easily brush it aside.

There's also the possibility that they've glitched themselves on using ingame methods. Which is possible.

Hard agree. These sleezy cheaters are cheating right in front of all of our very faces. They sleep on a bench peacefully in town bothering no one whilst I have to go all the way home or to an inn...unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They're beating me in sleeping. How can I show my face?? I can't even show my face. Not like this. Not knowing that people doze in places I can't. I'm humiliated. Ruined. and not in the ways I'd like to be-oh how could this happen?? Sigh. Well, that leaves us no other choice. It's time to implement systems. Right here, right now.

I've got an idea for one. It's a great idea, so I highly suggest it.
Make /doze available for use anywhere. "ah but what if people doze in raids!" Great point, disable all emotes entirely to avoid people from-I'm kidding. /doze available everywhere would be very cute and comfy. PLUS. The ability to chair sit on any edges too. Maybe call it bench sit. I don't know. I imagine though that both of those things (particularly chair) would be rather difficult. Well, if you simply made doze into an emot that didnt rely on where you were maybe that wouldnt be as complicated?? Chair/bench sit though ahhh. Nothings easy huh. But that would be nice if someday it came to be. Oh right, people cheating. Something something, grey area and dominos pizza!

Had me in the first sentence not gonna lie XD

SE could sure learn a lot from some of these mods...
Some very talented people out there can really design boots and shoes.

I would give anything to have them in the game!

I do not use the mods, but I do think se needs to scan every mod out there and see what good gear can and SHOULD look like.
(sorry SE, its tough love)

another "wahhhh mi garbage console can't do that" thread?

I’m waiting for one of these threads to be about Gshader.

“This is so unfair, they’re taking better screenshots than me!”

Tragic

I see many using the Cheat Engine so they can make their characters sit anywhere they want, even the /doze emote on surfaces. Isn't it time to implement a system so such things can't be used? Also make it so the game files can't be modified.
And if Square Enix do allow mods, then they also should open the PlayStation for using mods so it's fair for more players.

Sadly, Square Enix will never add a simple anti-cheat software similar to VAC (when you launch a game with VAC, the game can tell whether any files have been modified and report that to Valve. It doesn't "scan" your machine, but the program does have inherent rights to verify the integrity of its own files. FFXIV doesn't have that.)

As a result, the push for add-ons will continue until we become a highly-modified game and the console version will become just a mere shadow of the "real experience". Many people already run Dalamud with several plugins that the FFXIV community has deemed "essential", like voidlist. A good portion of the in-game screenshots you find on Twitter and elsewhere are unachievable with in-game models and shaders. Parsing and log culture is an unshakeable pillar of the raiding community. People seem to love the way the game is progressing in this respect, as most users that I've seen defend this behavior.

We can only hope that all of this results in lower console version sales to such an extent that Square Enix no longer sees it as profitable to maintain it, thus cutting into their profit margins and forcing them to take a look at the issue. But that's a bit convoluted. Otherwise, the game will just become a hacked-up mess and people years from now will go "I miss vanilla FFXIV!" And they would have fully earned the disgusting state of the game. Then people will move to a new MMO and let this one die out, just like World of Warcraft. But I'm sure they will enjoy every minute they have their large breast mods and parsers until that happens.

Assuming that happened, do you really think those types of people are who you should be seeking approval from? Because if they're complaining that you're not using xyz mods then they sound like they belong in the "Not worth my time" category

I'd like to just say that if anyone wants to use my character for anything lewd you have my full permission.

I want my WoL to be the virtual Johnny Sins.

One thing that comes to mind is the macro to force our relic weapon to glow despite being sheathed. I love to use it lol.
