Unsubbed Thread (Tell us why)

[Starrkk]

I'm sticking around right now, but honestly, it's becoming hard to log into the game. I've been playing since mid-ish HW (I recall starting shortly before Final Steps of Faith released.) I only really log on to occasionally do some roulettes and maybe a few maps. I was always thrilled to log in before. After beating the EW base game, I started to play some other games, but I'd always come back and always kept my sub up to play with friends or if I just felt like doing some stuff solo.

Now though? There's a rift. If it isn't the MSQ, it's the discussions on the level 100 dungeons. I personally didn't have too terrible a time with them, except the first boss of the carnival. Monks and that boss mix about as well as Zenos holding a teddy bear. It used to be that people were allowed to play other games, and the community was pretty much just like "Yeah, cool, no problem. We'll still be here when you decide to return, buddy." Now? You've got the "git gud" crowd pushing people away because relaxing in this game is not allowed. This is a game that helped so many people get through 2020, and to see it go from that to where it is now is just...it sucks on all fronts here. I have never felt so deflated by the end of an MSQ storyline. I have never seen such a drastic shift in a community in I don't know how long. I don't know if Yoshi-P even plays his own game anymore--his game that he considers his baby.

I find it real weird that I'm looking forward more to the next tier of the Arcadian than I am the MSQ in terms of story. The Arcandian fights are all great! It reminded me of when the Eden raids launched in ShB.

Two very good friends of mine that I met playing FFXIV have left the game already because of the community shift mentioned above. I love this game, but honestly, right now I only keep my sub so that I don't lose my house, and even then, that can only keep me coming back for so long.

Ok... well then..... Goodbye I guess???

From what I've seen The War Within is having issues of it's own right now.

I ping pong between this game and WoW usually but I personally haven't had any desire to pick up War Within yet.

If anything I'll get to the end of Dawntrail's story, do a couple raids and unsub and see how people feel about The War Within in a couple months when the honeymoon phase is over.

Who knows? Maybe Post Patch content will be really good like YoshiP promised during the interview?

*huffs Copium*

If it sucks I'll prob drop MMOs in general for a bit and play another game. (FF16 PC Port and Space Marine 2)

What issues are you seeing with TWW?

I find it astounding that, although it would take people zero effort to post nothing in a thread they intend not to participate in, that they instead make an active effort to come across as dismissive and condescending. It's almost as if some individuals feel compelled to make their presence known, even when they have nothing to add.

People make games their whole personality so it seems when some have issues with it, they take it upon themselves to feel insulted on behalf of Square it seems

Damn lady! it's not that serious you act like you have to be a celebrity to post on this form.

You came to a thread whose topic doesn't seem to concern you and instead of engaging in any form of discussion you were simply condescending and dismissive of people's experiences and feelings. In a choice between "say noting" and "be rude for no reason" you went with the latter.

Why are you acting surprised or defensive when someone called you out for it?

unless it was a bait post, of course, in which case it seems you're bored by the game too *shrug*

I mean it's pretty pointless to post here if you aren't planning on playing the game

Theres some funny bug issues like where a couple of cutscenes dont have Audio (I remember on last reset day - the cutscenes themselved didnt even show) and also AH has been buggy for a while.

I think 7.1 will be pivotal whether or not I'll stay subbed throughout Dawntrail, because it will expire somewhere in November.

If 7.1 / 7.15 won't deliver satisfactory content (MSQ, side content, etc), I'll just let it run out and find another MMORPG to sink my time in. I'm the type of person who can only focus on one at a time, and currently I have 2 options: coming back to WoW or Guild Wars 2, which I have the base game purchased from when it was released. If neither turns out to be a good option, I guess it's a gaming hiatus, because MMORPGs are the only type of game I'm interested in.

Also, I'd leave without any harm, fully willing to return to XIV if the situation improves!
