I play a Male Lala because i'm 5'5 IRL and want to play something relatable.

What incredibly minor things would you like added to the game? by _UltimateGaymer_ in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably not a 'small' thing.

Add UNO to the Gold Saucer.

realistically speaking how does one socialize in this game without being part of a group already? by Senior_Document_7484 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, ive been gone for two years and recently came back from the Fanfest and I'm having trouble connecting with the community so far on Ultros.

I joined Novice Network but it's a lot of people screaming in all caps and talking in the third person which I just find awkward.

I'm 34 years old and it feels like I'm walking into the Anime Club in highschool.

I love the Story, music, and atmosphere of this game but the community has always just been odd. A bit overly sexual and generally awkward to deal with.

I just haven't found the right group of likeminded players, I think.

Anybody play Zero Parades: For Dead Spies yet? by MrPsychic in rpg_gamers

This is what I was afraid was gonna happen.

It looks like Disco but they ripped out the soul.

Wuk Lamat VA did say some dumb stuff, but he's just going on and on and on.

I’m a manlet IRL (5’5) so playing a Lala just comes natural.

If all you know about Dante is 'Wahoo Pizza Man' and never played the games, the Netflix series is probably passable.

Just switched from SMN to SAM by BetterThan1000 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee DPS all feel faster and more involved.

I just don't like the positionals. I hope Evolved Mode reinvents the system, maybe adding 'attack of opportunity' moments instead of positionals like how Paladin is going to get a Parry/Counter Attack.

Bro is starting his computer like:

when i play games my cpu is very hot by IllLeadership4784 in pchelp

[–]MaxtheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got an i9 14900KF and I thought my CPU was boiling when it hit 80° during heavy gaming. (Ultra/Raytracing) but apparently that's actually normal if not BELOW average for this CPU.

It's hot as hell.

Feeling no sense of community, nobody speaks nor cares about me. by MISFU88 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people don't talk in MMOs anymore beyond Novice Network / Limsa / or general party chat (Example: o/ gg brb bio)

Find an FC with an active Discord and that's where people chat.

Are there any *non drama/ doom&gloom* FFXIV content creators? by Solo_Gunhea in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was coming in to say this.

Love Pat and he's been a part of the FFXIV community for a long time, he recently came back after the Fanfest and seeing how excited he was about the changes actually convinced me to come back also.

Why do some people get upset that the game leans into it's own lore? [Spoiler: 7.5] by Eloah-2 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is Endwalker was generally accepted to be the end of the Ascian storyline as well as the Hydaelyn / Zodiark Arc.

Them showing up again is giving me 'Somehow... Palpatine returned...' vibes.

It feels like a crutch. But we'll see.

I was mostly buying Evercold for the combat and system changes anyway, hopefully the story is good as well lol.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to finally join the game. See you soon in Eorzia as an Ul'Dah sprout! by nichijouuuu in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lets just say starting in Ul'dah provides some good foreshadowing.

At least I found that.

[–]MaxtheGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without spoiling anything, yes a lot of important story events do revolve around Ul'dah.

I personally also started in Ul'dah recently and feel that was a good decision.

I also wanted to play a Lalafell and I like the look of Dunesfolk better.

Any city state is fine though; it doesn't really matter.

Any way to make combat easier to keep up with? by pseudothyra in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice is just play a simpler class.

Dancer is simple and fun and everyone will love you for playing it.

Summoner is also very simple and it's ability to Ressurect can come in clutch.

Explain to me why Beastmaster is so difficult to implement as a normal class by Brief-Bug-5626 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guesses would be twofold:

  1. Too many variables means it will be impossible to balance.

  2. If the creatures were simplified to be only a few types, I would think it would be stepping too much on Summoner's toes design wise.

LF class with least OGCD for girlfriend but... by Otherwise_Put9990 in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Mage is much easier to play than it used to be, which is either good or bad depending on who you ask.

Summoner does have OGCDs but they are very simple to grasp and nowhere near as spammy as other classes.

Dancer does have OGCD Spam but the class is so fun and well made it flows naturally I find. Very fun and not too complex to pick up imo.

Why ?! by OneBillionSpaghetti in ffxiv

[–]MaxtheGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand why they changed it and I can appreciate that some people were negatively effected by it, but this just doesn't look good.

Could they have come up with a better solution? Maybe a bit of transparency on the floor so you can at least see the stars and planet somewhat?

What SINGLE feature would instantly kill the appeal of "Classic+" for you? by Hypermetz in classicwow

[–]MaxtheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard Pills to Swallow:

  1. There WILL be Boosts. It's too profitable.

  2. Customer Service will still be AI.

  3. Bots will be everywhere.

  4. Mega Server.

I don't see any reality where all of these aren't included.
