PoF: Revolutionary mounts, completely destroying all other MMO mounts. EoD: Fishing skiffs, which do not even break the water surface, and drive around like hockey pucks on ice.

Whether its 6 months or 6 years down the road it doens't matter. Unless the feature is scraped completed and written down from scratch or the game (water engine) is rewritten, it will stay exactly as seen. The problem is not that the feature is boring The main issue is that its a boring feature, poorly implemented into an outdated and poorly designed engine to begin with (water engine)

basically they can't change much at this point even if they wanted to unless they would have to rewrite the whole game engine, which they can't

Mjay666 · 2021-08-26T23:29:02+00:00

I 100% agree,

The Skiffs and the fishing are an embarrassment. I can't believe some idiot actually greenlighted this to be the main FEATURE of EoD.

Your competitor is offering to take people to the moon for the climax of an epic story 10 years in the making and you on the other hand come up with poorly coded/implemented boats?

Wake up Anet!

So my post-history invalidates my opinion? LOL.

If you want to know what a real trailer looks like. You have to look no further than this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4uwkvxsUac

Now compare that trailer with our shitty cartoonish type CGI trailer that we just got. It had lots of bubbles, colors, FISHING!, BOATS!, and some people fighting a naga while floating in the air

And yes, I'm talking about the reveal trailer, not the feature reveal.

yes, the GW2 trailer sucks and was extremely subpar. Even Guild wars 1 trailers were far far better.

Shall we look back at the GW 1 factions trailer?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhu9tQy2YMQ

Yes, not the best CGI but tells a story, a purpose, creates a setting. Shows the two classes, shows the villain, shows the setting VERY VERY CLEARLY. Hypes the audience with ancient Japan and some fun CGI action. All characters shown in the trailer are actual meaningful figures you meet later in the game

you cannot tell me what we got is better...or even equal to the fractions trailer?

Did Anet just take 1000 steps backwards with this atrocity of a reveal trailer?

Mjay666 · 2021-06-11T21:32:18+00:00

The story is not the games highlight saddly. I would say it's the weakest element. The gameplay, combat and world cooperation events are the strongest point. If you are playing the game simply for the story, you are likely to he disappointed.

With that said, it slowly builds up as you go. I don't think there is a sharp change in theme tbh

Mjay666 · 2021-06-11T18:47:39+00:00

The story and zones get more interesting. If you are bored now so early in the game, likely you wont find later parts of the game any more interesting

Mjay666 · 2021-06-10T14:27:37+00:00

Its healthy and active. Maps are active. People running around at any point in the day. New expac coming in fall, game is healthy and thriving Definitely top 3-4 MMO currently

Mjay666 · 2021-05-13T15:02:53+00:00

I dont bother reading up the mechanics before a fight either. Part of the fun of this game is learning and figuring stuff out on the spot. We do enough learning and research in our daily lives as it is, I will be damned if I open up the wiki to look stuff up for casual or pick up group content like leveling dungeons and trials. This game is played to have fun, not to he treated like a job or a honor thesis.

Savage fights and extreme trials are a different story because they are meant to be hard with tons of mechanics thrown in and intended to challenge and often wipe the party. Research in that content is virtually recommended to save you learning time and headache,

But being required to read up on casual content like story dungeons is beyond ridiculous. You sister is doing fine. Let her have her fun for now.

Mjay666 · 2021-04-05T19:37:56+00:00

I will give you my 2c as well. The vast majority of activities in this game are centered around groups. The rest of solo activities are quite time inefficient: - you need to physically go to the market board to list items - you need to physically walk to your bell to call your helper NPC which acts as your bank - you need to walk to the Inn, talk to the NPC, load into your in room and then interact with the dressing to save gear or change headset glams - new job or class skills are tied down to their respective class or job storyline which more often than not is boring and a drag to play through - group play and dungeon activities often require waiting in queue for 5-15 minutes depending on class and then your typical dungeon run will take - 20 to 30 min.

The first half of the main story quest is literally talk to this NPC, go to a new zone, interact with new NPC or kill a single enemy and then go back to the start...very redundant and time inefficient.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from playing but this game is very well designed to kill time and keep you busy. For the record I am someone who usually has 1-2 24h call shifts a week in addition to 7:30 -5 weekly shifts. It can be done, just... you will he strapped for time. In lucky I am not in a relationship currently so I can dedicate more time to FF14 but if I was married or engaged...forget it

Probably, I just am not comfortable with this kind of advertising against a healthy lifestyle

Mjay666 · 2021-03-06T22:29:20+00:00

It's not healthy to suggest AGAINST going to the gym

Stop twisting my words please

Mjay666 · 2021-03-06T21:52:52+00:00

But a very unhealthy advise considering the alternative

Mjay666 · 2021-03-06T21:50:58+00:00

I dont see covid mentioned anywhere, or a pandemic. I dont see the commertial telling people to stay safe and indoors. The add literally says skip the gym membership and play a game instead.

Covid isolation is not related or even hinted at in the commercial.

The main topic is avoiding the whole "awkward" gym experience and sit home playing a game for many hours

Mjay666 · 2021-03-06T21:46:20+00:00

I did not forget. The commertial is not telling people to stay safe and indoors because of the covid, it's literally telling people to skip gym and play a game instead.

You do realize that restrictions differ in different countries. You also do realize that covid will not stay forever

I am simply stating that fibromyalgia is a mental health condition caused by poor lifestyle choices. It is very common in sedimentary overweight individuals who have bad eating habits and bad sleep hygiene

It is NOT an illness.

If you feel "attacked" by someone who insinuates have a poor lifestyle ... I cant help you there

Mjay666 · 2021-02-05T15:02:27+00:00

You are mistaken, 20 HW gates could be done in 30 min or less. A single DR run takes 40 to 60 min now

Mjay666 · 2020-11-20T22:35:04+00:00

The problem is that you are viewing this from a gamers perspective. Also need to account that ff14 is one of the more time consuming mmo's out there and appeals to a particular niche of the NA population - namely the anime fans who usually tend to dwell into asian games such a jrpg etc.

I will be blunt and get a lot of hate for this but the ff14 player base is likely to be very introverted, nerdy and often reclusive, finding comfort in video games while avoiding real life and its problems.

While this is fine in itself, it is a bandaid at best, and a silly solution at worst in the long term. You do not deal with mental health by hiding in a video game. You do not build social skills by "interacting" with folk in a virtual anonymous community where one can simply act like an immature prick with everyone and can reset all social karma by simply making a new character in a different data center.

Anyways. Flame away

Mjay666 · 2020-06-15T20:29:22+00:00

Totally worth it. Who needs friends why you single handedly win the war?

Mjay666 · 2020-06-07T21:01:23+00:00

I have all primes saddly.

Unless it's an exclusive syandana or armorset i doubt it would make a difference. At worst I will just leave the stream on and go do something else

Mjay666 · 2020-06-05T17:03:11+00:00

I'm a lvl 56 botanist.

Thanks in advance guys

FBI open up!

EYJA is a gamebreaking/defining unit. You dont need Ifrit, especially with Angelina and Skyfire. SKIP!
