The event is now live. :O

The very first message you can read speaks about the importance of the forums and it just feels so hollow when they never reply to anything here.

it must be very hard to do that when for the last few months we have had nothing but "noise", static, abuse and a small clique of people shouting down anyone who dared disagree with their harsh, cynical, jaded and utterly hostile attitude.

I was actually surprised some of the more...vitriolic..people were allowed to go on for this long. To my mind, what we see now with those "voices' gone is more conducive to actual communication on game issues. I have never been one for harsh moderation, but to my mind? in this case a broom was sorely needed.

Maybe in the future we will see more better avenues for them to talk to us now a more...pleasant....atmosphere prevails.

Ive done both parts of the Rising now, it was wonderful and uplifting. The mount is magnificent. Maybe, before we look at what they have to say and ask why they dont talk to us, ask yourself if recently they had any reason to do so

I get feedback, i get dissatisfaction in some areas of the game, sure. Nothing is perfect, it never will be.

FF 14 isnt perfect, but it is again heads and tails better than a lot I have seen over the years . I for one respect YoshiP and his team, they have worked tirelessly to give us a damned enjoyable gaming experience. There has been, to my knowledge, never been an event like this in other MMO's...so with all respect to my colleagues and fellow Warriors of Light...I submit that communication is a two way street.

never been an event like this in other MMO's...et.

Other MMO events usually respect the brain of the playerbase and let them actually play the game instead of watching cutscenes for 20 minutes for a freebie reward.

Thank you for proving my point. The gameplay in FF 14 has been this way since ARR and before. But you knew that already.

I personally am enjoying the game immensely,. absolutely loved Endwalker and its story, have enjoyed the expac and its many features. Endwalker to me has been a success and was worth every moment.

Im honestly sorry you dont share that feeling.

[Cidel]

I'll be seeing all of you in Frontline Rival Wings.

FTFY

Looking forward to the influx of participants with pulses and not much else.

Too true, man. What a disappointment this event has been.

Looks like it fits this community perfectly to me, looking at how happy people are that they get to watch the same movie back to back non stop for multiple hours for a mount or a pet at the end, the players are at fault for the mediocrity of the events in FFXIV, because the standards are non existent

You and I may disagree a lot, but a majority of the players in this game is actually just like Vel, they are a good image of the playerbase as a whole.

I don't know about ESO as I have never been to one of their seasonal events but uh.... the events in WoW have been almost the exact same for the last 19 years. That's... not exactly respectful of to the brains of the playerbase to make them farm the exact same bosses and activities for 19 years with a very rare occasional small addition.

False.

They added a lot of small events, called micro events or something like that, that are actually brand new, dont last long, a day or a few days, but are pretty recurrent, the old ones though are pretty much the same yes, but they added a lot of new micro events.

I've done the micro events. They offer nothing aside from a bit of lore with no game play to them. Just a bit of neat. I am talking the actual Season events like the Fire Festival, Brewfest, All Hallows, and Christmas. With a few exceptions of like the eating contest at the brewfest the events have been kill x boss for loot and do x minigame for currency that have not changed since they launched.

Hell, the Horde side for Halloween is still in Brill which requires you to time travel to do it because actual brill is a ruin and has been since BfA.

That's still more than what FFXIV does with the same recycled events with absolutely nothing new at all, not only that, but it's also sending you to old content in FFXIV that has been done a million times, at least WoW is better in that department
