Disappointed With XIV Direction

[FudoMyoo]

If you want the forums to be a happy go lucky circlejerk maybe petition square enix to stop sending people into this void of dead feedback for literally any problem with the game that isn’t RMT via their own in game systems

I'm paying a monthly service provided by SE, I respect their choice and freedom on creativity. If I don't like it, I unsubbed.

Plain & simple. Not pushing them to make the game I want. This is their game, they choice. I as player can choose to accept it and keep paying/playing or I can unsubbed and leave to play other games for entertainment. Why is it so difficult to understand this simple logic?

Please give us back the forum.

[FudoMyoo]

No, but this is a forum meant for discussing the game and providing feedback. What a pompous reply.

Then you give really lame examples for content. 2000 S ranks, Island sanctuary, housing. A ridiculous achievement that you can't even grind for whenever you want, an area where all you do is run around and press X/left click on things with no meaningful interaction, and a system that we've already been utilizing for over a decade.

You're basically just saying "stfu dissenter" in a roundabout way.

I know of some one with 2 characters with the tiger mount. He did 4000 S rank. You can't do it doesnt mean other players can't.

If I wanted to use STFU, I will give it in your face. Stop spamming the forum how you dislike this expansion, just quit and let the money talk to SE.

Give this forum back to the fans that are still playing.

The pandemic kinda broke the game in that we now have approximately 5 months per patch and it’s all time gated on a drip feed.

Back when it was 3 to 3.5 months, we got a lot more and when something didn’t go over well, it was only 3 months till more.

Due to the growing gaps in content we went from having 5 expansions to look forward to back in 2014 to only 3 on 2024 to 2034, let that settle in for a bit.

I have been here since 2.0 and played nearly daily for almost all of the patches but I started to take longer and longer breaks in the 6.x series because there was nothing to do… looking at you relic quests.

I ended up taking another break only 3.5 weeks after 7.0 releases and I never did anything like that before, I usually took a break in the .5 series.

The content drought now is far worse than anything we have had. I love this game and I really want to play but when I look at the launcher, I just close it because I realize I don’t have anything to do. I only login to maintain my house but that’s it.

For the first time, I’m going to cancel everything except the basic single player sub and give up all my retainers as I don’t need them anymore.

If we don’t get something in the next 10 months that keeps me playing routinely, I’ll probably retire and move on.

Absence makes the heart go yonder…

Unsubbed to me is something like 6 months or more or even skip the entire expansion. (like my wife). Everyone that is burnt out, bored of current expansion should try it. There is no need to announce.

Lo, behold.



Keep the feedback rolling in yo.

I love how you actually had to add the "read please..." with arrow.

There is plenty to do in the game, but the question boils down to whether you actually wish to participate in said content and find it engaging. Dismissing it because you don't find it to your taste isn't a failing of the game.

I do agree that the length between patches could be shorter, so that way the wait isn't as long, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a plethora of things to do for new and old players alike.

You ever been to a theme park? FFXIV is exactly that, depending on the person, some may consider the rollercoaster to be quite spooky to get on and get anxious. Think of a ride that very few people get on, that's kinda what savage/ultimates are. If you ride the smaller rides too often, you'll get bored. You can try the spookier ride but it may not be for you.

I've tried savage, I've tried extremes. I even planned to do ultimates. Even if you clear most of the older content, what's remaining is really just achievement hunting, and most are time-gated, like levequests, that take 7 years to complete. Or how about discovering 20,000 Accursed Hoards? Not everyone likes the same rides, but when the theme park is building only scary rides for the daring, the rest of the people have nothing to do and will just go somewhere else. For 7.1, we get few hours of mediocre MSQ, Alliance raid and beast tribes for the casual player, and that one is gated too. Sounds fun to you? Doesn't to me. They should've released the new field content instead of chaotic raid in December.
