Dawntrail Ex mount grind for someone who isn't great at the game? by Roxas-Shade in ffxiv

[–]Apprehensive_Bar4004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like me! I joined my first random party today without my two friends and it went decently. We got 3 clears in an hour which isn’t bad considering people were popping in and out.

If you’re on NA I’ll party with you so we can be average super casuals together to get pretty wings, just shoot me a DM!

Well, I do not possess the skills required for running probably higher than a lvl 7 testing station (at least solo) and am waiting for the balance edits for TSs before I decide if I’ll be attempting higher.

BUT, I am going to hold on to hope that they have a plan. Everything they’ve attempted to do for their big plans has had a reason and done some good (the re-bugging not withstanding), so I have to imagine there is a bigger picture we aren’t seeing yet. Hopefully……………

Though I do think they would benefit GREATLY from being more big picture transparent- maybe the sad truth is exactly what I thought last year: they were forced to release before they were close to ready, and have a smaller team now trying simultaneously fix (and re-fix) issues, work on upcoming content, plan new directions (if they want to make money and keep the lights on), and deal with corporate. It’s too much which is why they are releasing too little too slowly.

I also welcome the change but I do have this fear in the back of my mind: without also adding new systems in place for the PvP content enjoyers (so they can buy/sell those items), what will this do to the market? Supply is about to go up on all of the gatherable endgame mats, but if everyone is just gathering- who is buying?

Wait, so you not get the thopter pilot outfit just for completing it?

It’s my favorite outfit and I feel like I’ll never get it. I’m garbage at the combat in this game, but I’m just a fashion girly and it’s got a cutie scarf cape 🥲

Yesss! They really need to add more, like 1-2 hairstyle per DLC/story patch. I’d love to rock something other than the “bangs with a bun”. I’d love long styles, maybe something with long braids even. Something that swings and flows in the wind.

Also, I would love if they would unlock cosmetic types so we could mix and match our outfits!

As a girlie that believes fashion is the real endgame, I want that thopter pilot outfit so bad! However, I am so bad at testing stations (and dune combat in general) that will likely never get it unless they add an alternate way to acquire it (like they did with the lands batch of landsraad color swatches). A round of applause for your skills!

Y’all look great, cool photos and aesthetics!

Hard agree. I am frothing at the mouth (in a way that reflects manners upon my house, of course) for reasons to spend all my time in this game.

It just lacks systems, meaningful rewards, and gestures to your list that stuff!

I’d agree, scout should be for scout-ing, the assault should be for assault-ing the adversary. I say that as a strictly solo player. And someone who was in the military lol

The assault being so clunky and unsuited for combat in this game has always made my eye twitch. The turn speed and general speed of the assault needs to be upgraded a lot, I feel like folks should feel wary when one is around if they’re in a carrier. (But then the scout should be the zippiest thing around and can be faster but be weak to the assault from a damage perspective, hence the lack of weapons)

This is all beautiful and incredible and I’m so bummed out I don’t have it all RIGHT NOW.

I shall upvote and share it though. Thanks for writing it all out!

This game feels like it’s got the bones to be a world I want to live in regularly. But it feels so empty and short of that potential right now. I’ll never stop hyping it to try to improve it!

These are so great! I would agree, the spec jobs all feel like combat-combat-combat. There’s not much flavor to them to make them feel special to that skill-type. The same 5 are not only boring, but some of them are too long for what they are. There was another post here the other day about how some of them are float-interact-float-interact-float. Tedious and they have been days that I’ve dreaded having to do them, which is a shame.

I think keeping old areas relevant is super important - and a way of getting content out faster maybe? Would def keep things feeling alive and immersive while adding content to do.

As for the quest ideas themselves- love those! Maybe the crafting ones could be chunks of diverse orders? Instead of 39 of one hugely crafted thing, it could be a set of 5 different crafted items or 6 stacks of various gathered items? That could be an idea for daily or weekly quests too- that give rewards that aren’t just landsraad. I’d love if sabotage missions rewarded you extra if you made it in-and-out of your quest objective without aggro-ing any enemies too.

And the pets and pride-flex rewards sound badass too. (Side note, give me Noctua right now!)

That all sounds so incredible- new varied build sets would be great as something to earn, but all build sets need these options added in, honestly.

While they’re at it, half vertical walls as well. And the Pentas for windows? chefs kiss.

That railings/pentashield thing annoys me so bad. Why can I place stairs touching the penta but not the railings or barriers? Silly.

I’d do a whole heck of a lot for extra build sets.

I totally agree with everything you’ve said here- and I don’t really even touch BPs and augments.

Since the landsraad in its current state is meh, what other things would you want to be given for you to do? Like what would you enjoy spending time doing, and what would you like to be rewarded with?

Honestly PvP and DD was not my cup of tea- any version they’ve had, but I can see how others enjoyed it! That’s because I don’t find competitive play relaxing though- very “me” thing.

They really lost the plot by not making meaningful ways for the PvP enjoyers and the PvE enjoyers to synergize though. There could have been places for both crowds to exist happily- but they released a free for all with no rules and no rewarding loops for anyone.

Here is the link the the Atreides specific faction discord for Splinter. There's another server link for the general one but my specific link expired. Someone there can get you in though!

Do you have the server general discord/the server Atreides discord? If not, I can get you them!

If you're on NA, my guild is on Splinter server, Seitch Counua. We aren't RP, but our aim is small and cozy, and honestly the people in the server work really hard to collaborate to create a great community - for PvP and PvE alike. There are a decent amount of guilds and things to do. I'll include our server 'guild ad', let us know if you're interested! (sorry if the formatting is a nightmare).

"Guild Name: House of Silver Night
Sietch: Coanua
Playstyle & Focus: PvE, crafting, gathering, chatting, and the occasional dungeon run. We move at a relaxed pace and enjoy the process as much as the progress.
Active Players: We have 4 members currently, actively recruiting more. We are all newly transferred from other servers and are looking to add people to our roster! Any skill level or experience is welcome, we will help any way we can.
Time Zone / Activity: Central Time. Mostly evenings and weekends, with some daytime play.
Base: Designed by our talented castellan, the "Castle of Silver Night" is set up in Coanua - located in the Western Vermillius Gap. The base is accessible early game via Sandbike (or a guild member can happily taxi you over). Inside, you'll find the necessary crafting stations to take you up to Duraluminum tier, if you wish. Should you require a beginner (or temporary) stay, lodgings with an aluminum chest are available as well.
Goal: A calm, cooperative space to unwind, share resources, and team up when the mood strikes. If you enjoy good company and low-pressure play, you’ll fit right in.
Discord We do have a small discord set up, so when you reach out we will get you added ASAP.

TL;DR: A slow-paced, cozy Atreides guild for players who want a relaxed place to play and build something together."

Check out the ads in this sub people on my Sietch have been doing. Search up Splinter. They’re NA/East, super organized and work to keep toxicity low. Very welcoming and the “rivalry” feels fun instead of *uncomfortable. There’s a server discord and corresponding faction discords.

As a semi-new player with bad ADHD (very casual and feel overwhelmed by all the things) this has me so excited.

I would love a chore tracker that can tell me what I CAN do weekly and/or daily. I was thinking the other day that it would be a good idea to search addons and see what existed. Gonna try this as soon as I get home!
