  1. Wow does have a toxic community but let me tell you that there are still ALOT of people that are by God friendly good example is a group of 3 helped my friend with learning a dungeons and what diffrent specs do while I was offline and got him into grinding for mounts by the end of it there are some golden apples they just don't shine as bright as the regular ones

  2. i wanna lay the FFXIV is an RPGMMO thing to bed because i am tired of hearing about it. No story isnt the primary focus of FFXIV since its inception, story has been the most successful thing about 14. if you have played the game since 1.0 like i did you would see that story has the least development time. A majority of their development goes towards other systems and testing things. Hell even this new patch coming up a major revamp to PvP was the main focus. Really tired of WoW refugees calling FFXIV an RPG MMO when no its an MMORPG and just because WoW's story is shit doesnt mean all of a sudden FFXIV is some sorta special genre.

  3. I have to be honest about this, my main personal gripe with FF14 is that my character is to much of a goody-two-shoes. Also the fact where I am forced to be the Warrior of Light and I do not trust that floating crystal. Now I do love the player housing and such, the music is alright but gods I do wish Ul'dah would burn to the ground.

    I managed to push myself through Heavensward but I want to stab Alphinaud so badly. I liked the Dark Knight story and that we ¨kinda¨ embraced our darker side but it also felt a little short.

    I am not going to discourage anyone from playing FF14, but I cannot keep playing it personaly.

  4. Sprouts in wow would work if you gave increased rewards. Sprouts in your dungeon? More rep. Sprout in your group for dailies? More rewards. Sprout in your group for LFR? 10% higher chance to get loot for everyone.

  5. I don't think it has much to do with WoW pushing storytelling, it's the severe incompetence of the writing team. For someone to say they've enjoyed some of the Crafter questlines in FF? That's mostly due to writing, and how that questline was presented. Blizzard desperately want to check off as many boxes to satisfy an audience that does not care to play.

  6. He said "why are all the names on our patreon like 'JuicyTits'?" and not a moment later the name "SissyBedwetter" came up on Jesse's Patreon list. Great timing

  7. Imagine sprouts in WoW 😀 -> OMG you are a sprout? Get out of MY normal dungeon finder run!
    I remember being cussed at for not knowing the "ideal route" as a tank on week 2 in the heroic dungeon finder Theatre of Pain.

  8. This is the problem with Preach doing WoW content when there’s money to be made. If you want to come back you’ve got to stop taking every cheap pop you can to please the FF fans. I don’t think you realise how much of your WoW fanbase thinks you’re a hypocritical prick now. People were getting banned from Echos channel every other minute because they were vocal about not wanting you there. That hasn’t happened to other streamers like Asmon or Esfand because they don’t trash the game and community every chance they get. To be honest mate you made your bed, you were needlessly over the top and dramatic, burnt bridges and you should perhaps just stay with FF or try something else.

  9. I used to like how FF handled jobs, like how you are all on one character, but I realized what I liked was not repeating grinds I had already done. I actually think all WoW need's to do is make reputation account wide, and I would immediately like their execution's more. The reason being, theming / aesthetic. I play Roegadyn. He is a cool Monk, I like him as a tank. But when I play my caster / healer / ninja.. I just feel absurd. it can be funny but I don't like how it looks or feels. While over in wow I can pick a race and gender and even customize specific things on them to match my class / spec. WoW's only issue is that each character is treated as separate, just make currencies and rep account bound and you won me over.

  10. I think the people that have stuck with wow, myself included, are there more-so for the overall feel of the game. Wow is very responsive, very reactionary, and for a lot of people, that's what they're used to. I see the appeal of FF14, I get why so many people like it, hell growing up played the majority of the FF games and was SUPER HAPPY when they announced the mmo forever ago. I could just never get into it like i could with wow, it just.. it didn't have that cleanliness to it i guess you could say. For me it's more about the gameplay than the story, and i'm sure there's others that feel that way as well. Both games are fantastic in their own rights and focus on different things, don't hate one or the other because you LOVE one or the other.

  11. they did miss one key thing in the pre-expac runup for FFXIV though. the trailer is always done in two parts, you get the first trailer as a cut down version that's stands on it's own, then later after the X.55 patch that directly sets you up for the new expac they'll release the full trailer that has either moments of or references to things that hadn't happened yet when the first trailer came out.

  12. Mike brought up Ul'dah burning and my heart immediately sunk. He's spot on with this point.
    Also I CAN'T wait for him to jump into gathering/crafting.

  13. I liked ARR, but the story is certainly a bit slow to start. The main problem, is that the gameplay is complete and utter garbage until at least level 60. From 1 to 40 or so you're basically spamming 123123123 with zero variation.

    The post-ARR ending was some of the most emotional content in any game I've ever played. I'm still only in Stormblood though.
