Is EU pretty much dead?

[Sunhwapark]

I don't think its dead, but I have seen of a lot of people leaving lately (chaos side, anyway) since the launch of DT.

quick q to those who went to Light and still didn't get queue: do you have all languages enabled?

[AvoSturmfaust]

Check your Settings, if all Languages are enabled, because as Healer there shouldnt be a long queue, i even queued just for fun one of the older DT Trials and got a Group in 10 Min, so if you are not be able to get a group as healer there may be some setting issues

You can always ask in Novice Chat for help. Even if you won't get a full party, it will speed up the que times significantly.

Yeah. At least on Zodiark there's usualy some Mentors around to help out. Be it by queueing with you as Tank/Healer. Or just unsyncing it if you want that instead.

At this point most serious players have already gotten everything to 100 and geared the jobs they wanna play so no reason to queue for stuff. The casuals have done the story and have no intention of playing anything else. You're unfortunately stuck waiting on the midcore players to pop the queues during a patch cycles downtime. That's just the issue with 1 patch every 4 months.

There is just simply not enough to keep people going. Stuff like Island Sanctuary and Space Exploration needs cut for actual repeatable content. This isn't Animal Crossing, and they need to stop pretending it is. If they want to start doing the all games in one strategy then they need a bigger team. It's not gonna work on drip feed.

[Hallarem]

Its a dripfeed problem. They dont have decent content to put good rewards into even if they came up with some.

Island sanc had so much potential to even replace player housing, but in lieu of that they a 100% made it so it would never compare. To keep subs going no doubt.

Space exploration aside from ruining the worldbuilding imo was just a repetitive boring activity in a very boring looking zone. I dont see how adding colorful alien trees will make it any better.

Theres a lot of old grinds, but a lot of them are ludicrous, like "play this one content 10 0000 times" its dreadful solo, most of the games MMO aspects are completely reliant on the players creating them if you think about group stuff.

They should add more QoL for that, more housing improvements, glamour improvements, FC improvements. Grand company improvements. Remove the exploration mode timer and add raids in. Make the world more alive with enterable houses. More character customization and longevity content

Also in the story for immersions sake, you need to make people attached to something. Much like the horde / alliance in WoW. People want to be apart of something. Even the Eorzean Alliance, whatever. Hell even the Scions are as loose as it gets of "are they or are they not".

Make the Eorzean nations make some damned moves in the story. Instead of being a blob of backup to call on.

I think they are worried the writers might be called nationalistic if they go down that route. They complained when some armor looked a little too Spainard, I can see the usual suspects get really upset about that sort of storyline, lol

[Araxes]

The Game is declining yes, quite significantly so it seems. Just saw a video of SE's earnings call and it appears FFXIV in case of Players and/or earnings is down to Stormblood levels. The game is not Dead YET but if they keep going like this the Situation might become more dire.
