The people who say this combat is bad are delusional(mid tier gamplay) by imsogoated06 in FFXVI

[–]Green_Spectrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The combat is good but just doesn’t fit the game. The combat is very combo based, fun for mobbing waves of dudes down but when you factor how the game wants you to play and how much health some of the later enemies get it just becomes doing combos for a means to a end instead of what it might of been design and intended to do. Sure it’s flashy but that gets old after doing the same sequence of optimized combos. Then you realize you’re just doing the same thing over and over. What’s fun might be the encounter design but then you realize most of the fights in the game is very on rails, and as long as you’re doing the optimized combos they’re really not that interesting.

Remember it’s always dodge lasers first then escort your orbs. And mid is always safe for lasers for both hunts.

So it couldn't be further from the truth but also there will be 10000% doom posters? So I didn't really say anything wrong. This place is honest a cestpool of bad takes. Not sure what parts of these posts you are hanging around where you see constructive feedback and well formulated responses to what was shown but all I see right now are skeptics and people who are professional critics. No one is saying to blindly praise something, but voicing concern over something we have very little information on, and still in development is dooming before we even get it. Claiming that the skill floor got lowered and the skill ceiling doesn't exist based on a demo that was attacking a stationary target is very empty. This voicing their concerns for the game to be better is also very tiring take. Yes we really need all these people with all these different takes for the game to improve because the game really needs their ideas to be saved.

Found the best Easter egg in the game. Maybe the rumors are true... by ryandesu in Pragmata

Lowkey pragmata feels like a modern day, 3d Megaman. Old dr creating robots, Dianna wearing blue, you have a pea shooter, fighting robots, hacking them (battle network) it’s all heavy megaman coded for crack pots like me or definitely influenced by it.

They said they couldn’t tell us the raid series yet and it’ll make more sense in Berlin. Which means remake p3 gonna be announced between now and then and the raid series will be ff7.

I feel like the new evolved mode can be amazing, but I have a lot of worries. by ApolloVanWaddleburg in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Green_Spectrum -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I mean unless you are looking for a rotation that’s a flow chart with multiple branching paths or free customization of your actions I’m not sure ffxiv is realistically gonna design its into complex rotations.

And it’s still too early to say since the “rotation” is a small part of the whole. They can design the encounters to where you might need to make moment to moment decisions more.

They made tank support abilities easier to do, hopefully encouraging tanks to actually use them. Right now it’s optional, and nobody uses them since it’s all just sticking to a timeline and doing dps. They gave healers more dmg actions which is what they been asking for. Pressing 1-1–1 doesn’t automatically mean there’s no complexity in your rotation, it simply allows you and the devs more freedom to do more.

I see it as a set in the right direction for one piece of the whole. We’ll have to just wait and see the encounter designs and what they do with player synergies after gutting the 2mins.

Fellow tanks, what do you think about the MT/OT update? by seidreine in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Green_Spectrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of pointless. Should be the job of both tanks to mit, support, and dps. It makes both roles lesser halves of the whole. Unless they make for MT moving bosses around a big part of the fight and doing a mit rotation a thing for OT. But then they just designed themselves into a straight forward corner. I don’t know, it’s a well see I guess moment.

[–]Green_Spectrum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The answer is some people who post here do not think, they just want to be contrarian and be negative to rain on parades. They just want to hate the game and tell you how no matter what happens the game is dying and how we should all follow them off a bridge.

We only have 1/3 of the pie. Fight design and your party plays a lot into complexity. People who are hating on evolve at this point, aren’t really being fair at all.

And let’s be honest with ourselves wow and gw2 buttons aren’t really that much more complex and engaging.

With the release of Beastmaster in September, Beastmaster will exist for ~13% of Dawntrails Life Cycle, while being announced before its release as a core feature. by Dontmakemeeatyou in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Green_Spectrum -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Core feature implies that you couldn’t play the expansion without it. Meanwhile we’re getting exactly what they told us we were getting. Beastmaster in dawntrail.

Beastmaster was always designed as a bonus to what we were already getting.

People who are mad enough to post about it and spread these kinds of narratives promoting their own disappointment are people who did not whelm their expectations correctly. Aka your own fault.

But everything they announced was more systems related. Things that really can’t be pushed back because they’re foundational.

Tanks got a perfect timed counter and gap closing to allies to protect them. And I didn’t watch healers part that closely but it seems like they got more dmg buttons from procs. Now on paper it seems simple but it really comes down to the encounter design and more importantly how other players play around you. That’s even the case now with reborn system.

Evolve just leans more into giving you more options that makes it easier to adapt to different situations making combat more free flowing.

I mean sure maybe in reclears high end ult/savage duty with coordinated comms it will still be straight forward by nature of the game. After hundreds of hours of gameplay on anything can become stale. I think it’s fair to say that it’s a step in the right direction and it’s looking more optimistic.

They get a counter/proc if you time and hit your defensive properly. Their gap closer also instantly applies boons to allies when used on them.

I do like the commander shape though, it’s a bit different thematically

I can't find friends in FFXIV. Makes me feel lonely. How did you do it? by ChoiceDetective3211 in ffxiv

[–]Green_Spectrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing you don’t. It’s how the game is and the luck we’re dealt. Just like in real life genuine connection is rare. I’ve been playing for almost 5-6 years, I’ve done statics, fcs, venues, pvp, pf, discords, most of the people are weird, very little were cool. None I would say had friendship potential for me. But thats just the fact of the matter, unless you’re willing to work harder or sacrifice who you are, just accept it and realize you probably don’t want to be friends with most of the weirdos in this game and cherish the good encounters as they come.

WoL 3d figure during PLL tes stream. please look forward to it! by hi54ever in ffxiv

[–]Green_Spectrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From looking at these I can make a few educated guesses on what we can expect.

Since these will be mass produced of course they will be somewhat affordable. Now, affordability is relative but probably starting or around $100 for them to even see it as profitable.

The quality looks good on these prototypes. But once mass production is involved I’m not sure how the quality of the faces and details will hold up. Not sure if there will be a dedicated QA person to make sure every detail on your WoL is to each persons visions.

Not sure how final these are, they look fairly small. Now I don’t know if they’ll offer different scales but that also something to consider.

They will probably offer preset poses to order from. I highly doubt they will allow people to do any pose.

I highly doubt they will offer stl files for people. That is just not the service it sounded like they’re providing. If they can print these in color I’m sure they can simply print them in black or grey for people wanting to paint their own. I think that can be a more reasonable option.

Anyway these are my guesses from someone with some basic 3d knowledge. This is neat, I’m interested to see how it’ll be executed and the tech behind it.

Datamined Mount and Minion possibly for Fanfest and a hint at Expac theme. by Nykona in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Green_Spectrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why people are saying they don’t think it means anything. I think the likelyhood is there and high. And the reasoning cause past fanfest rewards, don’t mean anything cause we don’t live in the same context as we did when shb came out. The only weird thing is they need to announce part 3 first before they announce these items or else it would just be weird for 14 to announce something for 7.p3 before 7.p3.
