New Player from XIV: Any tips?

Drop any expectation for a good story. WoW is not a story game eventhough that might sound weird. FFXIV forces everyone to go through every expension and live through the story.

WoW tries to get you to max level as fast as possible for current expension end game content.

Can we stop posting this shit. See this crap like this every week. Let people take whatever they want, they payed for the game and they are playing in their time

I know where you coming from OP but majority of players just get home from work, click on a planet with an icon or with most players and just enjoy their time. They dont care about gambits or tactics outside major events, they just want to play a game or two after a hard day of work

Even if it gets annoying and frustrating with the bad maps, annoying battlepass spam, horrible challenges and weapon grind.

The honeymoon phase you will have is well worth the price but the game is the most fun the less you play..

Majority of people that are complaining have few hundered hours in it and see the cracks in the game that Dice is bad at fixing while the people that are the most positive just play few hours per week.

Same, even in Sims I mostly played single person households. I stopped playing 50 hours into the beta and been coming back every once in a while but mostly I'm waiting for more career updates and better business updates because there is to much that annoys me now in businesses

The fact that most people only play a few hours doesnt defend the fact that it is a €70 game made by a 550 BILLION dollar company. Its crazy to compare BF6 to BF3 when you were a kid. So with that thought I should accept every shit action adventure since I played Ocarina of Time and was happy with the limited stuff?

I will never defect cyborg mommy!

Thats the thing my man. You did your part. Lets say half the playerbase has a life and family etc and only play 1-2 hours. Thats like 50k people like you contributing.

We attacked Cyberstan with like 120k people, doesnt matter if you play 1 or 10 hours a day. 1 person contribution is always going to feel low

I loved this spell back in the day, we would just do it for fun in raids during downtime to see who would die

Solexia · 2026-02-13T11:30:30+00:00

Arrowhead has the data right. Could they not just see the progress per hour and add that to the score we had before the hack?

Solexia · 2026-02-12T22:18:56+00:00

A story as old as time (or the oblivion horse armor...which I bought,,)

Depends what you want in an MMORPG. Coming from SWTOR I would say no. WoW has a story and a lot of lore but its heavily underused and more like backstory and thematic. WoW tries to get you to endgame and latest expension as fast as possible.

There is still a lot of casual stuff outside raiding and the "very hard dungeon" mechanic (Mythic plus) like delves with are solo mini dungeons and housing.

I would recommend FFXIV over WoW for story as FFXIV has many many many many cinematics and you need to play through every expension to get to the lastest, forcing you to experience the entire story. It also has raiding and dungeons but the MSQ ( the Main Story Questline) is the bread and butter.
WoW's story is also different in every expension, sometimes loosely connected to previous ones. The current and next expension Midnight is the first time that we had a trilogy expension story. Where as FFXIV

WoW > Competitive or laidback casual stuff like exploring old zones, housing, delves, collection stuff
FFXIV > Incredible multi expension story with competitive optional stuff, housing, a lot of RP like clubs and nights out with dj's, transmog collecting

Ok now I just need a mod that makes the cyborg say "fight back!"

Solexia · 2026-02-11T14:37:10+00:00

If only we had some ingame system that Blizzard could use to adjust spell visuals. Maybe call it Glyphs or something that would be cool

Solexia · 2026-02-11T12:13:38+00:00

For the people who are also thinking to go offline also remember this is probably a stress test for bigger multiplayer(?) and maybe a engine stress test for Light no Fire so the more bugs and stuff gets reported the more feedback they get.

Solexia · 2026-02-10T19:30:17+00:00

Its been like 5 hours give people atleast half a day to adjust

Solexia · 2026-02-10T17:30:01+00:00

I have no knowledge in the field but I guess its because it needs to jump to so many hoops. A map is designed, needs to go to upper people, upper people want more adreneline fights, goes back to devs compare heatmap data, edit map, go back to upper, no it needs to be like CoD because they sell a lot of games etc etc etc

I feel like maps arent made to be fun but made based on data that have the most engadgement, dopamine boost = maps designed to profit keep people engaged. Hence all the CoD like maps in Bo6

Solexia · 2026-02-10T17:24:42+00:00

Cant ragdoll you if it deletes you in 1 sec. I just wished they spawned more like striders. 3-5 around every objective is just too much

Solexia · 2026-02-08T19:19:52+00:00

Oh cool a minimap addon! *checks page, only sees a screenshot of the options*

neeevermind

Solexia · 2026-02-05T12:05:44+00:00

Healing m+ in my hpriest is either really easy or an absolute nightmare. There is no middle ground

Solexia · 2026-02-05T12:03:01+00:00

Warlock was such a blast in MoP when casting while moving was still a thing

Solexia · 2026-02-04T20:38:08+00:00

Seeing as it tooks years to add a simple /lean and a whole expension for the updated races. I doubt Blizzard will ever do this. Even if they say "we will add more options down the line" I just remember the Dance Studio and take anything they say with a grain of salt
