Community has ruined this game beyond repair.Follow

The Delve loot system is amazing, I really wish SE would implement this style in future content. I think SE made an error in implementing the entire sequence simultaneously. They should of implemented Tier I~III first, then followed with IV~V three to four months later, then finally the mega boss another three to four months later. Would of allowed them to tone down the stupidity that is skirmish (random loot + entry conditions).

Wildskeeper reives are stupid. They can take hours with dozens of players constantly dieing due to the retarded AoE's SE like to create. Crap like AoE KO and AoE weakness shouldn't exist except in specific strategic elements. Their just cheap shot JP buttons that the NM's can press.

And who do you think is going to also be joining XIV?

Naakuals.

You can't fix stupid.

Well, most of XIV's elitists are going to be segregated on their own servers anyway (Legacy servers.)

Can't talk too much about it since the Beta 1-2 are still under NDA, but what I've played has been a lot more "casual friendly" than XI in general. That doesn't speak anything about the community itself, though.

I dont like speaking up much but something needs to be said . The point of the game isnt suposed to be gear an rpg of any sort is suposed to be story . not a gear convention. The testing of mind and skill of thought are to be aplauded. Doing events just to get gear to do the events more to get more gear . That makes you a collector. I play to talk and help people some of whom i consider closer than brothers or sisters in rl . not to shine ficticious posessions . Thats the downfall we face is the end of story and has little to do with gathering shallow empty bits of data for little purpose. However the attitiude of those involved. Every item is a tool . Tools are ment to help us progress so that we can find more of the story to learn and warm these cold halls of our souls.

While I'm of the mind FFXI has been the best of the MMOs I have played in terms of story presentation, story is nowhere near the focus. This is perhaps the "curse" in the MMORPG moniker, as not only are presented stories often mediocre (deliberately generic because everyone is the hero), but the associated communities tend to spurn actual roleplaying or just dismiss it as rampant solicitation of cybersex.

I'd love to see a game that added story content anywhere from every week to a month. They don't need to be incredibly deep affairs or world saving caliber, but when you better create environments, NPCs within them, and reasons for players to collaborate, then indeed the world can seem more lively. Of course, this is where a means of user generated content can stand out, but this isn't a feature that doesn't seem very mainstream yet. Neverwinter has it via the Foundry system, but the game itself sounds like it has some major (economic) issues despite it's "beta but not wiping characters" status.

It's quite possible to build very close relationships online. And it's also very possible to have poor relationships with even your closest blood relatives.

If all he's stating is that he has sympathy for the person, then there's really no reason to make the post. It just comes off as a put down.

If you guys had an older sister like MY older sister, you'd actually feel the same.

She's not a bad person, we just get along like oil and water.

I don't speak with any of my four siblings, haven't for 10+ years for the older ones, and the younger ones don't even know they have an older sister, lol. Nothing to feel sorry about though, sometimes these things just happen. I don't really feel like I am missing anything for the most part.

Which is to say, there are lots of long stories out there.

Aaanewaay.
Got my Tax'et win tonight. We failed 3 times, then we won in like 15 minutes. I now feel confident going on brd for more things.

It was 10 minutes, not fifteen. Don't play it down! And it just goes to show how effed up the content progression in this expansion is. I hate to say it, but when you don't gate any of the gear progression, people skip straight to the top.

Yes, Mr.Snark. Though to be fair I was up front that I'd never done one, asked for instructions, and the two hour wasn't mentioned. At any rate, we got the win, and I think it is fair to say the DRK learned that "holding hate with damage doesn't work with 99% pdt" and the pld learned "don't pop till everything is ready" and I learned "bard rotation = soul voice" in the end we are all better for it.

I know it's crazy, but, occasionally, people need to be given a chance to learn. I am glad that I was, and that it worked out in the end.
