Thread: Patch 6.3 where to unlock content

You're literally just advertising. Nobody likes ads

Meoni is a long term content creator who has posted videos with invaluable advice for years. I am not "advertising" anything, but rest assured, from now on I wont be posting any resources or help sites on this forum.

Its reputation is well earned.

If you wanted to post helpful links, perhaps listen to what people are telling you about what they would find helpful, rather than zeroing in on the one response you find insulting.

I think the issue is instead of directing people to the official source, you're picking a youtuber who will ultimately just profit off free clicks & watch time since you can't just quickly find the info you're specifically looking for. There's also a chance that their information will be incorrect because people do make mistakes and don't always double check their work. It might not have been your intention to come off as an advertiser but that's unfortunately the perspective that many will have. Personally I flat out refuse to watch the majority of FF content creators that arent comedy based (especially Zepla) because most of the time their content is just regurgitated from other websites who explain it better than they do.

It's just a better idea to send people right to the mouth of the horse via the patch notes. That's all.

While I love things that are more bite-sized for patch notes and "here's where this unlocks", other content creators will just make a graphic, or reddit will have threads of all the important unlocks.

While it may not be necessary, most people don't want to have to do too much work to find what they want, just that they want the info immediately. Having a graphic you can skim quicker than the patch notes or a reddit thread with a bullet point list works better.

Meoni is great for other things like showing off mounts/glam/visuals, but personally I wouldn't go looking for a video for unlocks unless it's a visual walkthrough of something - needed one of those for FFXI a month or so ago because I kept getting lost trying to get to where I needed to be or looking for a spot on the ground for something (no graphical alerts to say HEY, RIGHT HERE DUMMY and every single ??? can be for anything, not just what you're actually looking for.)

Man we really must be that bored to start arguing over whether somebody makes a video on a thing or not.

Ya'll need to chill. Some people retain info better through visuals and audio than reading, so the more options there are other than just the long live letter and patch notes, the better it is for others to digest info. This video is appreciated all the same to people who want it.

You are advertising a video but that's whatever, it's fine. This isnt thing specific about ff14, I have seen threads like this one on the warframe forums about its content creators with pretty much identical replies. Hating content creators seems to be the number 1 forum rule.

Oh and there's no sound which means I can listen to something else.

Not just you. I prefer written guides for almost everything. Mostly why I've stopped looking at guides at all for fights now, even savage. Written guide with diagrams is so much better than a video.



But videos get them money so that's where they went. So I don't watch.

I can also search the patch notes for a term and have the information I want half a second after the page loads, which is much faster than I can scrub through a video for it. Iscah's post above is the right length for presenting a patch todo list: it contains the information with fairly concise wording and a compact format. And finally, it doesn't require going to some other site that I would already have been browsing instead of the official forums, if I wanted to get information from a site other than the official forums.

So true... besides i really dont like Meoni i just dont see the point to watch a video for that... and maybe going and typing the dates down from it.... might as well just read patchnotes...
