I'm just taking a break because too many other good games out
The game is not dyeing, stop being a bunch of doomers and start being a bunch of cuties! >:(
Game ain't dying, it popped Living Dead and it's already in the fucking grave. No #2ED2EZ this time
Always believe in the bald guy
Whats the context of the image in the video, what do the blue,red and green represent? or does anyone have a link to the post in question
I mean if you've played MMO's before this is nothing new but people that are new to this have no idea, the only reason last xpac didn't follow the same trend is cause of the huge explosion of new players.
There's just too many big releases right now and it's not slowing down so expect the numbers to keep falling for a while.
ty for saying this. Was getting really tired of my feed of random new content creators popping up with vids saying "Why players are leaving ffxiv" "FFXIV is dying" or "The players FFXIV left behind"
As much as I hate EW I'll save the proper dooming for DT if it continues to be so barebones, I'm okay with them having a maintenance expansion to gear up for more years of the game, just hoping it pays off I guess.
Lmfao this is actually being brought up again? The cycle continues 🤣.
Dawntrail is the turning point for the game, the new storyline, graphical update (hopefully more than just characters but higher res textures for environment). I wonder if this is going to be expansion showcasing profits from WoW refugees (since dev time is prob few years ahead so Downtrail might be the first thing actually affected)
Of course the game won't die.
However if the people who actually care about playing the game bleed out, the devs won't be able to justify investing in content anymore, and the rest will have their Second Life reskin they always wanted.
I really hope they fix the healers on downtrail… i ended up stopping playing the game because how they are in endwalker, they feel like CTRL C+V of each other, it's super boring and bad, and i really hated what they've being doing to Ast since shadowbringers, it was so much fun playing with it on stormblood, now it's just… meh, it's kinda sad because i really like the game, but if they don't change the way the healers are i'm doubting if i'm going to play downtrail…
ye idk what people are smoking, theres nothing unusual happening, just standard mmo shit
Media tour invite when xffing
Nah game can never die tbh, SE is gonna continue to put out the same dog shit, copy paste, piss ez content/jobs year after year and people are still gonna eat that shit up, myself included. Lul
I was in the base XIV's closed beta and in ARR's closed beta, but I'm not so sure about it anymore.
After playing FF16 it's clear to me that CBU3 doesn't put any effort into gameplay, they made a whole new game and still they chose to do the exact same structure of 14.
If Dawntrail is Shadowbringers 3.0, then I'm 100% out.
yoshiW "Not this bald guy again" yoshiW
But Reddit told me the game is dying
Buhh
ffxiv is dying and it deserves to die. how the fuck do they make a billion dollars over the last 3/4 years and do fuck all with it aside from the basic ass content schedule. so tired of this stupidass community making excuses for CBU3 and SquEnix
It's not just because of other games, and the "The data from the Lucky Bancho website" are not up to date "And the unsubscribe rate is certainly worse."
It's simply because he has nothing more to do in the game at the moment.
Yes, there are excellent games in 2023, but it's not the first year this has happened since the existence of FF14. Here, people are unsubscribing massively because they know that patch 6.5 won't add anything particularly special.
Even if some players return for 2-3 weeks for patch 6.5, they will leave again because we will have at least 9 months without a major patch before the release of Dawntrail, in the best-case scenario, assuming patch 6.5 is released on October 3rd.
According to data from the website, for example, in the Chaos data center, we've lost over 40,000 active players, and this is as of July.
It's likely even worse today, and that's quite significant.
So yes, FF14 won't die, and a good number of people will come back for Dawntrail.
However, if the content remains 'so empty,' the unsubscribe rate could very well worsen between each patch.
Some people are even quitting the game definitely because they're so bored with Endwalker,
And they're afraid that the situation won't improve with Dawntrail.
Others have completed the main storyline that has been around for 10 years and have no desire to invest in another, especially not if it's 'beach vacations to eat burrito and
a competition between ''adventurers-scions'' to find the crystal skull..
what does the green/red/blue mean on the graph?
"This happened last expansion, the expansion before.."
It usually happens months after the final patch… this game is going to be a fucking ghost town in the first half of 2024. We are already at content lull levels and there is supposed to be a bit more content coming
EW had failed content, failed Island, Criterion, Deep Dungeon, Relic, New Jobs. Nothing innovating since SB.
Why is there a fflogs companion button in the bottom right of his screen? I thought Strummer was a good boy that wanted to go to the next media day thing
I'm playing other games. I still pay my sub. Any moment I'll get the itch and be back on. 🎉
Cope
If you read the chart and ignore Shadowbringer influx of wowfugees on the last two patches things align perfectly as the ebb and flow of expansions.
Which surprised me cuz Endwalker has shit retention due to patch content having no exploration zone.
Yeah I’m waiting for the final patch to just do all the endwalker patch content while close to dawntrail and just have like a 1-2 month period of just ffxiv
“Yoshi is a fucking necromancer. He took this game and raised it”
The rawest shit to do and hear because thats exactly what he did. Any game developer would have quit but nah Yoshi said “fucking bet”. Plus Square should be fucking thankful that the game is still going because if not, Square would’ve been fucked in the ass
Dawn Trail is a year off. They are taking another 2.5 years like they did during the Covid excuse. 2.5 plus 2.5 is 5 years and only 2 expax, when 5 years used to mean a THIRD expax was only a year away.
The lipstick on a pig graphic update… you can keep it. Give me MID CORE CONTENT. AND LOTS OF IT. WITH REWARDS. DUNGEONS GALORE. TIERED GEAR SYSTEM. NO MORE MATERIA GARBAGE.
Fix your tanks and healers so they're not all homogenized garbage just to please the "but my PLD isnt top dps in raid anymore" crap.
Patches need to be closer together. This isn't a free to play, it is a sub game. The lack of content is unacceptable.
I'm happy continuing my sub, I've a community, stuff to do despite the lack of "meaningful" content. I personally think the relic is really lazy design and a clear throw away, for example. But the "wow-refugee" part of me who quit before Shadowlands is doing massive dev / company warning bells in the back of my head about no systems changing, things stagnating. And creating all these scenarios of FFXIV being just a cash cow for their other projects without FFXIV getting a lions share of that revenue on the wings of good will for the devs who DESERVE IT, don't get me wrong. But I think we deserve more content due to it being a monthly sub game where the housing system borderline forces you to keep subbed. Even more so if you own an FC house.
If "Hroth female and two dyes, and graphical changes over 5-10 years" is the selling point of Dawntrail, I hope people start to critisize the game more loudly as a majority so the devs actually hear something else than people praising the MSQ.
Guys I think he's going to get the media tour🎉
well, i know im not coming back for dawntrail. and i know that none of the people i used to play with are coming back for dawntrail.
No but the hair on bottom left's scalp sure as hell died xffing
Sadly, content creators that are also long time (1k+ hours) of the game are to blame for the recent influx of doomer videos regarding player count. They've been throwing terms around such as "bleeding players", "failing to retain", etc. – things that highly exaggerate the situation when the reality is that this is just business as usual. Moreover, contrary to what they say, even they themselves know for a fact that they're going to be RIGHT back being hooked on the game when the next expansion comes out to do the whole cycle of doom posting & idiocracy again when they inevitably get bored.
Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!
I don’t understand what’s with the bitching about Endwalker. This isn’t new, yet there’s more people bitching than ever before.
Blows my mind. 🙄
Copium
yea will be the same as in Endwalker.. people will come , doing the msq, trying the first savages maybe and after will leave and return next savage patch or ulti..
Just wish any of the new content appealed to me. I've not played steadily since 6.1 and everything new that's come out outside of 24man/MSQ has just not enticed me. I downed p1s,p5s, and p9s within a week or two of them coming out and I just felt nothing. Maybe I need to leave for a year or so and come back. Just sucks feeling like this when I used to have so much fun signing in every day and hanging out with the lads in bozja/eureka
I love to try whatever Copium Baldo is on xdding
I’m so happy that xeno has made his own channel for his clips, and avoided the plague that is the s——- word
COVID ended, people finished the story and we're now officially in the content drought. Doomposters eat my ass
Hey, at least they report their active users, unlike Blizzard who became ashamed of them over a decade ago. 🤣
It's normal for an old game to lose audience over time. Even if it's good. A lot of people just don't have enough time to play MMORPG all the time, especially when so many good games are out
