Out of touch? PLL

But thats nothing you can play around with for over 4 month. :/

more than half a year and repeatable for me

Yep, that settles it. Since my sub runs out on the 30th of october and we dont see anything before mid of november...i quit for Yawntrail completly. For casuals like me there is nothing to look for, they seem to focus on the raider community now. So have fun but i'm out. Even wow offers more for casuals now. So..thanks but no thanks.

I was expecting savage alliance raids to be yet another piece of content for raiders, and they didn't disappoint, but I'm still actually disappointed because they even managed to make it less appealing than it could have been. This is essentially Unreal but applied to Alliance Raids, nothing more. They literally removed 90% of the actual raid to focus on the last boss and make it YET ANOTHER trial/raid with a single boss in the middle of an arena regurgitating YET MORE OF THE SAME mechanics. What a joke.

It's exactly like Criterion. They could have made normal criterion more on the line of harder dungeons to clear with weeklies and whatnot to keep it alive, but no, they made criterion normal specifically for raiders, and criterion savage... also for raiders because it's literally the same with more constraints.

Ad for pvp, I'm worried with those changes on snapshots delays. This is going to kill many jobs and LBs without outright adjustments.

Its exhausting that so much of content in this game is "circular/rectangular arena with a boss", and nothing more. There are also legit examples of where Square makes good stuff, like some encounters we had in Bozja that were so full of creativity and fun (remember having to rush through rooms to save prisoners?) that it makes this "boss in room" feel like eating the same slop over and over again.

But hey, at least players can now have the voices of the scions accompany them in Mahjong! Game is saved GOTY 11/10.

They have a unhealthy obsession with Trial Style Combat.

I can't say I'm disappointed because I didn't expect anything better than what we got but I'm still kinda bummed out. A new Alliance Raid is good, will run it for a while weekly to get my coins. Byakko Unreal should also be fine, it's one of the easier Extreme fights so it should be easily doable in PF. The rest, though? The housing update is great...for people who have a house. I have zero interest in Ultimate. Chaotic looks like it's going to be dead content beyond some Discord organised groups because progging content with 24 people sounds like a nightmare. I also have serious doubts about the rewards from it being worthwhile. I detest Hildibrand and I'm just hoping they won't force me to do it again like they did in Endwalker.

Casual players are given nothing to do besides half an hour a week. That's pretty dire.

As somebody would say in another thread "7.1 will be 7.0 part 2".

The only endearing thing to me was this Chaotic raid, but judging by the screenshot, it's seems like a bunch of mechanics we already know, same Alliance Raid format, but Savage-harder that punishes poor execution.

Other than that... meh? I absolutely would LOVE to be proven wrong, but these Live Letters are quite bad to hype up things. My sub runs out somewhere late November, so there's enough time to at least check the patch to see about that, but I guess it's time to shelf XIV for a while.

It's incredible how disingenuous the forums still are thinking their small minority voice will warrant addressing anything in a LL. That echo chamber really failing yall. Stay mad.

Yet here you're gloating over it and being antagonistic, another chufftey badge to display?

Yeah, I'm trying to fit in with the overall antagonistic vibe of the forums. The only thing that's still out of touch are the forums, as per normal.

Forum feedback has never been valued, because it is the minority. Pretty sure with the amount of raid clears this tier, they consider DT engagement a massive success. There is nothing likely needing addressing from a numbers perspective. Not that they EVER would have intended to be like "omg, the forums are complaining, we must address immediately!!!!"

Only terminally online folks on these forums think their toxicity is valid. Ya'll can hold this L, just like that #HeAlErStrIKE!
