Why do you have my cat? 😮
are you playing on an EU data center? if yes, what is it like for other countries to play on a foreign data center?
Great game but ARR story is 🤢. The content you can play along with the MSG is pretty good.
Great, so now we will get the txic players in ffxiv
Remember ffxi is better.
Im so tired of all those "so called wow Players" Another clip from a person who tries to win something on the Rising tide of FF XIV… Another "wow player" With Many videos about varius content but NOT WoW.. Lmao… Sad
It could've worked as a story driven game, the problem is that they for some reason decided that it should be driven by stories primarily not in the game, but in books, so if you don't read the books then the story is going to make so little sense because you're getting like a highlights trailer of it through cutscenes. They could've added a sort of MSQ system, they already design the quests like breadcrumbs, could easily tie a main story questline to that, but nah, with their billions of dollars they don't have time to design something like that because they are too busy making nonsense systems that are going to be removed by the end of the expansion. Utter incompetent management.
WoW has a real problem with gimmicky systems, and too many of them, and so often the gimmick is tied to the overall story of an expansion, and because the story of an expansion doesn't carry over then all the gimmicks are dead by the next expansion, so they do this to themselves and how they can't see that is beyond me.
The thumbnail explains it for me. WoW's aesthetic is so dreary overall.
Welcome to Eorzea fellow WoL!
I love that light changing colors in the background! Enjoyed your video!
PS Cute kitty co-star
Love that your cat is just chillin' in the background throughout the vid 🙂
Big agree, esepcially about the CLass Order Halls. Legion was my dream expansion in terms of the overall setting and plot, for my character; (demo lock) and the order hall was also a headcanon i had made up for him already and then to see if fulfilled as the games plot, I loved it so much……..and then…..they just threw it all in the trash. no resolution at all to the order halls. Are my warlock companions just hanging out in Telogrus Rift since Legion?! Doing nothing? We were space faring super heroes in Legion, and then just threw all that away and became nameless grunts in BfA and i am still bitter haha. Also, i wish we kept the Artifact weapons. Throw out the AP, keep the weapons and their stories. One of my fave pieces of content was going out adn geting the other weapons as you levelled in Legion. It gave me a reason to play other classes and specs. Thrown in the trash. I could go on and on but ill stop there haha
I own FF14. SQEX ID and password saved on login screen. Need subscription. Dont remember password to log into mog station. Password reset. Received email says no SQEX account registered to that email. Whatever, created new account. Game copy that is already purchased is linked to first inaccessible account, unusable on second account on same console. Not even someone I'm able to call to help me. Have sent emails and have gotten zero replies. I just want my money back at this point, total rip off owning a game you cant play.
Whats up with everyone doing this same videos with the same title this month ?
So glad to have you playing with us! You're gonna love the upcoming msq stuff!
Your cat licking his/her butt when talking about wow, a perfect illustration lmao
GW2 > FF14
nice persona music❤️
I quit playing WoW roughly two weeks ago because it just seemed like one big empty world unless you did Group Finder/LFR. Friends haven't played for years, even the newest content is stale, and despite the assurance that Shadowlands would be Alt-Friendly™ it most definitely is not. I have seven characters at max level+renown in WoW, and while I recognize that's a sign that I spent a lot of time playing and clearly enjoyed the game – it also means the burnout has hit hard, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. I started FF14 last week and it's fun enough. Slow, tedious, and a bit … idk … dry(?), but I'm enjoying a new experience and hope that – like you and others have said – it will only get better.
Welcome! What data center and world are you playing FFXIV?
Shadowlands made me finally uninstall WOW. It is the worst leveling experience I ever had in WOW. It was never so boring, so uninspired and so lazy written. I made it to level 56 and had enough. I logged off in the middle of nowhere and never logged in again. For many months I did not play anything else then Cyberpunk. Now I am trying FFxiv again and finally made it through the first rough hours and begin to really like it.
That honesty got me to subscribe,…
Your path through and ending WarCraft was mine exactly. Welcome to Eorzia.
The fundamental issue I see with blizzard trying to tell an interesting story is twofold. One thing is a good story should have a satisfying conclusion, inherently wow cannot do because of the faction war at the heart of the game. Neither side can win without pissing off at least half of your players. Secondly they need to have progressively higher stakes which is tough now that we have killed elder gods and titans. So they keep telling the same story they told in Warcraft 3 over and over. Faction war is interrupted by big bad who we have to band together to beat, we go around gathering warriors and McGuffins before taking fight to big bad. In a "shocking twist" we find out there is a traitor corrupted by something; often magic. We save/kill the poor SOB then we move on to killing the big bad who of course hints at a bigger bad to come. Any long form story telling will suffer from these two issues, its like trying to run a D&D game for 18 years. But wow's faction war being central to its identity makes new and interesting stories difficult to tell.
I WISH WoW had good content/features. Alas, Blizz is left with spiteful alpha nerds trying to be the coolest kids in the sandbox. I play FF14 now, and luv it!
I played shadowlands untill the story was done.. after that did the raid 10/10 on heroic and feeled bored asf.
playing ff14 in between en ff14 is still the game i keep going back to and still enjoy my time 😀 after trying exp after exp on wow.. I really don't give a ** anymore about blizz and also quit an never logged in again :p
I'm sorry, I heard nothing you said. I stared at your cat and was like "Kitty!". (cough 'cat person' cough)
One interesting thing is their sub treatment. Blizzard really, really let's you know that your sub is running out and that you need to resub. Meanwhile, SE let's you know when you have upcoming payments so you're aware that charges are going through. That may be a regulatory thing, but it's still nice.
I played WoW for years also, but I finally realized that it just wasn't fun anymore. I realized that if I am going to play something, i want to have fun my way. I am trying black desert right now, but I do not like the forced pvp it has. I am ready to finally try ff14, so thank you very much for this honest information 😉 Have a great night 🙂
Too bad FF14 is the same shit as retail in the end except with weeb stuff to do and see
I played 3000 hours of ff14 and raided since stormblood
It was refreshing until it became evident that it's just a weeb version of retail with story if you care for it
Ff14 copied the theme park mmo during WoW Mists
Maybe if they copied TBC it would be good enough
My wish, balance the bloody classes and specs properly, get rid of this borrowed power shit so that regardless of class and spec i can play end game content at all levels.
