Occult Cresent is in patch 7.25 which will release May 27th.

It's certainly a choice to wait 11 months from launch to add a form of long term content to the game. Could at least have switched up Cosmis and Occult times IMO.

I'm starting to believe they dont have resources to offer people things to do nor the creativity to come up with something like that, like a proper MMO with a SUBSCRIPTION should.
The white knights usually guide you to content and grinds from years ago as a defense. Or when in doubt, they start harrassing you for not doing savage or ultimates. When even the savage and ultimate players are bored and lack stuff to do.

It's SquareEnix doing a SquareEnix. Nowadays, we have more infos about what happened with versusXIII, and how, 4 to 5 years after the game was revealed, it still didn't have a full crew, because the the focus was on FFXIII, then its sequels, then came the FFXIV 1.0 fiasco all ressources were allocated there. The lack of ressource is so obvious. People complain (rightfully so) about Viera and Hrothgar hats, but this began even before those were introduce. From Stormblood on, a lot of Miqo'te hat stopped to features ears. They've been cutting edge in every corner for a long time now.

I think so too. After all, combat content is the core gameplay of the game. The gatherer/crafter are mostly means to support that gameplay : creating better gear, potions and foods. They sure took have a little bit of independance that with glam and housing but new recipes, ressources are gated behind fighting content. It's baffling to me that, in the current situation, that's not where their priority should be.

I watched it specifically for any mention of the graphics update. There was none and I feel defeated. I'm tired. Couldn't they at least say if they're still working on it or not? If they couldn't even say that much while the chat was asking for it, it truly feels like a different set of developers than I remembered.

I saw the LL and was like eh, I can't care less anymore tbh I've mostly just been playing other games like DW origins (what a banger).

Saw the LL and just kinda laughed as I don't wanna do the story and the rest of the content that interested me aren't even fully fleshed out. I'm probably gonna try the new raids and then my sub runs out after that so I won't be doing anymore XIVing until at least after summer, I feel bad for people who couldn't raid or didn't want to as they have even less to wait for which is insane to me.

Has there been any translation of Occult Crescent Time Mage's passive and active abilities? I'd a quick look online but couldn't find anything. Wondering if a passive might be the cause of observed lower cast times for black mage in OC.

I don't think we have much more than that, but it might give some idea of what to expect.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately not much info there but sure we won't have to wait long to find out the truth of the matter.

So 7.2 has a MSQ which will probably be more of the same DT Drivel, and Arcadion which MIGHT have been fun if my Black Mage wasn't being made into a Summoner that can actually do damage.

Great.
