Not enough variety

[Steeled]

I get that this game is kind of a new game, but it kind of isn't. However I see a dev team obsessed with mounts and minions while players are growing increasingly bored. Fates are stupid.

There's not enough variety in this game, by a long long stretch.

At fresh 50, there's two dungeons to do. There's Wanderer's Palance, which most people skip -.- and there's Amdapor Keep.

A major problem here is that basically, it's "Do Amdapor Keep until you can't stand it anymore--and then do it a bunch more."

Sometime after getting some decent gear from those 2, you can do Ifrit (you *can* before there, but you really shouldn't. If you're a 4k paladin, or a 2700 hp healer, you're there too early. If you succeed, you got carried.)

After getting fully, or near-fully geared in Darklight, there's Garuda and Titan HMs, and of course simultaneously pursuing your relic.

And of course there's Coil somewhere around this point, but that's...that's it.

I can barely stomach even capping out on myths now, and I'm about 0/40 on Ifrits.

Yes, there's also CM, but honestly CM is the most boring raid I've ever played. There's virtually nothing remotely hard about it. Scaled for size, the final boss of Cutter's Cry (and CC's isn't particularly hard) and Qarn and most the bosses in WP and AK are much harder (and thus, much more enjoyable) than anything in CM.

On one hand, I agree with you, but on the other hand, we're getting essentially three new dungeons and a whole new raid in a little over a month.

In the meantime, it'd be nice to give people more of a reason to revisit WP (increase tomestone reward?) to break up the routine of AK/CM, but there's a whole bunch of new content just over the horizon.

I also find it hard to complain about having nothing to do if you haven't finished Coil yet, but being frustrated with the AK/CM tomestone grind is understandable.

Game just released with more endgame content than most other MMORPGs. Next patch already promises more endgame content.

Most players aren't even 50 yet etc. etc.

Go outside and get a gym membership.

Im sorry your bored, I for one can't find enough time in a day to do everything I want to do.

I'm not bored yet, I log in every day with excitement as to what I want to do next.

I always laugh at these types of posts, just like in WoW.

Devs release new content, people race to the end and burn through it and than ask why they don't have more content....

Level all DoL, DoH, DoW, DoM.

Help others out, level your chocobo, etc, etc.

Still tons to do.

Huh? We did this in AF + lvl 49 accessories without any issue. 6/8 FC run with 2 random pugs no better geared than us. After 3 runs, we had it on farm and haven't looked back. Either you've got a really bad group for Ifrit or just a string of bad luck. Gear is a non-issue on that fight.

Oh, and not to sidetrack you from the broader point of your post, but there is plenty to do in game right now if you're not playing 8-10hrs a day. If you are playing that much, then of course you're going to quickly run out of content.

Correct, as did I on my Scholar.

Ifrit is nothing more than a retard check.

Pay attention, dodge the puddles, pew pew nails, win, have cookies.

Tons to do. Yeah, maybe if you are the type of person who enjoys leveling all classes/jobs just because, but a lot of us have trouble even finding one class/job we like so why would we level all of them? Level my chocobo, really? For what? So I can do what with them? There is no actual content they can be used for so why even bother?

I get that the game is new and so I am not going to complain because for a new game endgame is pretty good, but people need to realize that not everyone plays like you who think there is tons to do. I think this game has potential and it looks like they will add content at a good rate, but I agree with OP in the sense that there needs to be more variety and personally I think that goes for a lot of things. More dungeons for variety in that grind, new open world content for those who enjoy that, minigames of different kinds. It looks like all of these are coming which is great, but until they do there really is not much for me to do. Good for you if you enjoy leveling everything though, I wish I was like that too.

but people need to realize that not everyone plays like you

This can be applied to both parties. I'm with the "there's plenty to do" crowd, if you don't pace yourself then yes of course you're going to run out of things to do, and it's your own fault at that.

Level things like chocobos for fun, other classes to understand how they work (which can make you a better player). There is ALWAYS something else to do, nobody has finished coil yet so the only valid argument about content being lacking is probably how dull the tome grind is.

My brother was telling me how much fun crafting was and I kept putting it off. I started crafting and became addicted, not only is it very fun but you get a lot of money doing it even at low levels.
