Ags are dogshit and prog in this game sucks, but combat is extremely good - I’ve been playing for almost 8 months now, have a 1610 aero, 1600 artist and a couple of useless 1520 chars I just do normal Brel on. Did valtan extreme last night and man it was fun. Looking forward to next powerpass...

I think this is really not true, I’m mega turned off by the writing in dos2 and bg3 but I loved e.g., bg 1& 2, planescape torment, disco elysium, knights of the old republic, mass effect 2, etc. There’s just something I find particularly terrible about Larian writing that’s difficult to put into...

I heard a bunch of complaining too. I hated the old map bs though so this seems much better to me? Still really enjoying game 4.5 months in, combat the best I’ve experienced since TERA. There’s too many random annoying extra systems that increase your damage but I’ve done a few now and I’m...

Closing in on four months in now, my aeromancer is 1585 and my smn/scrapper are 1520~ (pretty much parked / no plans to push further on either, just weekly gold from brel/clown/vykas). Still really enjoying the game and it seems to be a ton more popular recently, when I started there were no...

Finding this experience really weird - I played since very late heavensward, raided through Stormblood, Shadowbringers and first tier of Endwalker + DSR, cleared everything, solo’d potd and HoH, but by the time we finished dsr (like 6 months of 6-9h a week with a few missed weeks for vacations)...

Thanks for the offer @Voldeth but I’m on EU. Thoughts after playing for a month~ (started last day of 1445 powerpass and made a smn, then scrapper with 1460) - * Legion raid combat is really, really good. I don’t like isometric as much as 3rd person but I don’t think it matters here, chasing...

I can’t believe it but I started playing this fucking game because I want something to play and everything else in the space seems terrible atm. Raids are really fantastic but there’s a lot of kr junk. Roster 35 and a couple of chars at 1460 atm, smashed valtan + vykas, going to hone summoner up...

I played to cap on launch - it didn’t have just like a few issues, everything was bad basically.

Anyone tried outerplane? It’s the same publisher / devs / engine as epic7, with some modern day enhancements / debatably worse graphics at times. I used to really enjoy epic 7 but it took too much time and I had to quit - outerplane has been fun to try though. Turn based battles w pvp arena (and...

Why are the chars all so ugly? D3 had way better looking chars.

Finally finished DSR - did 6-9h a week w a casual group (inc a few missed weeks due to holidays etc). Think I'm gonna take a break from the game after this, maybe come back if there's a third deep dungeon.

How bad is the economy compared to KR? Is it harder or easier to prog on NA?

Maybe I just don’t get weeb shit - shadowbringers was very good but the rest of ff14 story sucks dick (bits of hw/doma sb ok, ew wildly disappointing). SWToR imperial agent, sith warrior etc were way better. I’m not sure WoW has ever done storytelling very well in game, but the WotLK cinematic...

Sumeru in a week~, should unlock a lot of good electro teams (electro electro anemo dendro or electro electro dendro dendro). I’ve been playing this game since release and still enjoying it, I buy battle pass / welkin ($12 a month), but no reason to pick up anything extra yet. Can consistently /...

If you have xiangling / bennett / xingqiu they are a super solid team, better than keq or diluc or mona.

I’ve been playing a private server of this game called Menmas TERA - pretty low grind / no bullshit / fun, if anyone has fond memories. They also allow this tera-proxy thing that basically gives you 0 ping / combat is very responsive. Also seems to have more players than the real server did at...

I’ve been playing this game since release and they REALLY need to add a dialogue skip option that just gives you a 2 sentence summary. The lore / overarching story is good but god damn they use too many words. Also more challenging content would be great, especially aspirational stuff like high...

Yeah, this was a hard pass for me. Lost ark is bad enough but really fuck new blizzard.

The game could use a few Gil sinks yeah - I’d love to see some unreasonably expensive earrings / rings etc. Gil just feels so pointless as is.

Nice! That’s only like 8 hours a day played from release to now. Very reasonable.

This turned out to be dog boring - maps later are like 8 of the same encounter and take like an hour to trudge through super carefully so you don’t lose too much armour etc early.

This just actually released - anyone tried it? Looks like a fantasy xcom2, I’m pretty tempted.

Can’t believe ultimate has a fucking door boss.

I used to love this game (probably my favourite mmorpg) - checking out a private server now if anyone interested: Welcome to Menma's TERA (no affiliation)

It's doomed, shb is the only particularly good part / no hope for any of the rest if you don't like it @Sylas - might as well quit and save a few hours at this point (unless you plan to raid endgame?) Unrelated - 6.1 in like 3~ weeks, anything people are hype for? I'm gonna do the ultimate /...

AGS really seem amazing, Raj against the machine here.

It’s really long this time, and there’s the usual stupid shit (multiple nerfs / changes through prog, anduin p3 accidentally broken and left unfixed etc). Just doesn’t feel as cool when they’re tuning based on what’s possible for top guilds and you know they’re gonna drop 20% nerfs after. I...

I think you kind of exaggerate the badness of the story (but it is pretty bad and obviously e.g., ToR imperial agent story is way better / actually well written). Interested to see what you think of SHB though - for me 6.0 towered above the rest of the dross and made EW really disappointing...

I don’t know if it’s me, but I just can’t detach my brain from this shit when I play the game - it just feels like ok, why not just work more and p2w? It makes the time spent to do stuff feel “not worth”.

One of the best moments I had in FF14 was getting to Ishgard for the first time and rushing to do the DRK unlock quest (I was tanking at the time, had started on WAR) -- and listening to the Ishgard theme for the first time then sort of slow walking -> slaughtering a bunch of corrupt knights in...

I don't think they will "let you start post-EW" as in like... you won't be able to queue for EW raids or get those in roulettes until you have done ARR, HW, SB, SHB, and EW. I think MSQ 2.0 would be some new thing, as in, when 7.0 hits: MSQ 1 stays as is. To do UCOB you still have to beat neo...

Maybe this is crazy but I think they will make the MSQ optional, or have like… MSQ-2 (post hyd and zodiark adventures) and MSQ-1 will be optional. When I started and had to do ARR + HW it was bad, but ARR HW SB SHB EW is so much stuff if you just want to raid. I think this probably wouldn’t...

Watch the KJ world first then the painsmith world first - they are not close. Recent WoW mythics are a lot more like FF savage/ultimate raid design but with a dps check too. (Early on, at least)

I’m pretty sure it was me earlier who said most of the msq is shitty but shb is good. Shb 5.0 (Not patches after) really is good, at least as solid as like ff6/7/8/9 stories. And it does make you care a bit more about the scions — it’s really like they just had a diff writing team on that one...

Thanks for the response. I really liked TERA (I played it for hours a day for a few years) and I think it had the best combat in any MMORPG I've played, basically. Apparently Lost Ark bosses can be kind of like this and people (that I like and used to play TERA with) keep telling me it's sort of...

How much would I actually have to do per day / week if I hit endgame? And how much content is there before that? Leveling is mindnumbingly bad and I’m not sure whether I can bring myself to do more, but endgame raids do look super cool.

Week 9, 6.1 soon, and I'm at 6 books and I still don't have either weapon or chest goddamn. There's always this weird period in patches where I would quite like to raid / pf more but I don't have bis and it's annoying / I want to get some good runs too. Also - patch April 19th and ult May 3rd...

Can't believe you'd quit the greatest MMO of all time =( - @Sylas - Warrior is one of the easiest classes in ff, but combat rotations for most classes are generally not challenging to do on a dummy at max level (they do get more interesting than at level 60 though, obviously). This places a...

I can’t believe you guys are trying to put him off reaching shadowbringers / savage raids. Don’t let them win, @Sylas !
