The Last Straw

[ty_taurus]

I was thinking I might come back for the new PVP even if just for a little bit. I'll be keeping an eye on patch notes throughout DT. If the devs can finally see that this strategy is not as inclusive as they think it is and pivot, I'll be incredibly happy to jump back in and enjoy the story.

A part of me really doesn't want to miss out on Arcadion and Solution 9 being the popular endgame hub, because I really like cyber fantasy. Hence why I want to love Sage. I feel torn about things, but even when I think about what to do about the story, I just pause. I can't pick a job to go through it as cause I don't really want to play any of the PVE jobs right now.

The only reason that keeps me from turning into one of those players that only sporadically come back for story, is pvp designs. Without it, I'd have burned out of 99% of the content the game has to offer.

Beyond having a slight interest in trying out various jobs here and there just for the leveling aspect, there is also no pve job that interests me to actually main, and the choice is restricted already to rphys.

PvP job designer should got bonus each month..
This dude single handly fix most of job design issue but sadly it is on PvP only

RIP, it'll be a shame to see you go Ty. Hopefully SE wake up to how stagnant the gameplay has gotten and start taking it seriously soon =/

Hope they throw you a bone in the inevitable 7.01 adjustments, it’s a shame to see people so passionate about it just running out of bothers to give.

I still enjoy XIV because I really like the story, but maybe after I get the MSQ done, IDK if being interested just into Pictomancer will be enough for keeping me around. I love the healer's role in every MMORPG I play and hurts to know how awful it is here.

So, depending on how I feel, I might just let my sub runs out and return just at the patch 7.55 to have the rest of the patch story without cliffhangers and wait until the pre-launch week to buy 8.0. It will be enough with Media Tour and whatnot to gauge if the alleged job improvements are actually worth.

I was hoping they'd at least fix SGE because they did promise a job for the people that wanted a more technical healer, but unfortunately, they're not willing to invest very much effort into healer design at all.

I was happy for you when you said DT SGE was a decent step with the double DoT, but then they couldn't even give you that. I personally don't enjoy SGE, but I'd love it if at least some portion of the bored healer mains can have a healer job they can enjoy.

It's sad to see more of the old playerbase leaving, but I guess they no longer care to appeal to us.

I'm just staying around for friends and high rank PvP, but I do hope the 8.0 job identity rework at least captures some of the magic of the HW/SB jobs back.

If i would have seen the full patch notes i would not have bought dawntrail or resubbed.

Maybe the story will be redeeming and there is always summoner.

Take care and God Bless, Ty.

I understand wanting to quit as I already quit the game back in 2022 for over a year. Only came back because there are still a few Jobs that interest me: BRD, MNK, and Pictomancer.

Here’s to hoping that something will change in the future, provided that the strike will make a difference (which has to some degree).
