This was a hard video to do and I flip flop between do I want to share it or not. This hurts me so badly. This will ruin the game if this is allowed to continue.
Thanks for your video 🙂 I'm still quite new to ffxiv and still learning a lot. I'm a student and I work, so I've got few time to play. Unfortunately, I'm also a slow learner… I want to do the hard content, but I need time. When I try I always feel like I'm holding up the party (my FG is not much interested in hard raids, so I rely on PF), they all seem to learn the fights so much faster 🙁 Anyhow, I don't want to use those 3rd party tools. They annoyed me in WoW and I don't think players should rely on them… However, I'm afraid the backlash those raiders are experiencing at the moment will not discourage the use of those tools but lead to more players using them. I hope I'm wrong.
Btw. I really enjoy hearing you talk in your videos. You sound very natural and engaging 🙂
Unfortunately, I think it might be time for SE to pick up the shotgun and drop an anti-cheat in FFXIV for 7.0. Between this happening on every ultimate and ranked crystalline conflict being full of cheaters, the integrity of anything competitive in the game is compromised and it will only get worse if they don't get proactive.
I blame SE and the community for not acting against mods back when they were more benign, I think they should have reacted this harshly as soon as ACT was introduced. Now the molehill has grown into a mountain, they need something soon, and I don't think they have the long experience of Blizzard, Valve or Riot in fighting cheaters and hackers to do it on their own.
I'd come raid with you! Clean Gamers UNITE!
So tired of people forcing Add-ons on me.
Not having add-ons was one of the things I love of FFXIV, having been on the receiving end of the horrible PtsD inducting nightmare drama they can cause in other MMOs.
It does more than highlight invisible aoes. It highlights actors frame perfect, draws infinite waymarkers etc.
Remember the guy with the Thordan Yaoi Paddle and stuff that straight up told him "stand here"? That was this. It's that intrusive.
Its so intrusive in fact, Chinese ACT has the plugin banned and blacklisted to not be usable on chinese XIV
honestly as a ffxiv launcher user i feel conflicted, but to get this straight from the getgo: yes, i think this is too much, and people should actively banned using this.
There are a lot of features that i think are still missing on this game, and they only recently slowly but surely getting added to get game, and the launcher gives many people creative ideas to fill in those holes with good convinience features imo, that said i think this whole modding scene should not evolve past said convincience features. I raided in wow for a long time and even Dbm (at least from the last time i've played that game) didn't make mechanics that braindead. DBM basically was a automated raidleader giving you callouts and warnings on the screen. It's sad to see how raiding has evolved. I love the statisfying feeling after resolving a mechanic on your own, finding out how things work, etc.
This comment is more of a food 4 thought, i can understand both sides ofc, but i think we all can agree that these shown pictures – or generally what happened in the past few days is way too far.
I was thinking of trying to find a static to try getting into the harder content and eventually ultimates. But what worries me now is…if I found out someone in the static was cheating…I would feel like my own accomplishments in the fight would be null.
Id be heartbroken and just thinking about it makes me not want to try.
I may still try eventually but I doubt it unless several close friends I trust not to cheat became my static.
As a console player, I have felt so burned by this. Even a streamer I watch said that to get into ultimates or current savages and extremes, you are EXPECTED to at least use (retracted) mod. I’m like… I’ve been doing min ilevel synced old extremes and been working my way through them all, and guess what? I CAN’T use mods even if I wanted to. I actually don’t want to, where is the fun? Where is the challenge? Where is the epic scream of finally finishing something you’ve been progging for weeks or months or longer?
Blah. Make it a console exclusive again. F all those PC players and their inability to actually play the game they claim to love.
I know you likely won't see this but you're my hero, Cole. I've wanted to do harder content but shyed away from it due to my lesser skill level. I don't parse so I don't know my damage and I know for sure I don't do the optimal rotation from the guides online as I struggle getting my head around learning four or five different rotations.
I've been disappointed to say the least with higher end players cause I looked at them with awe and admiration as I don't have their skills. I'm not a good player and only a casual but one day I will do harder content.
You inspire me to keep going at it though. That I won't need any of those tools to improve. As you said, take it in your own time at your own pace and your achievements will feel amazing.
I program for my living and ffxiv is my pass time so I can understand your statements and I hate to see it as well I've been raiding for years now running my own static and I always saw ultimate party's as the peak for the game but this dampers that I won't deny I have never used mods but I draw a pretty solid line in my moral sand anything aestic and not game play changing is fine by me but if u are just make the game automated or easier that's a hard pass for me. And I hope bans get dealt out even more and they start facilitating world first content in house.
I would politely criticize the title and alarmism, whilst I understand this is a serious problem for high level end game content this won't ruin the game. It'll potentially hinder 1 specific part of it. I am sad for it but the game is absolutely huge, most parts are fine. Thanks for the video.
Would you say the same about ACT?
They do it to line their pockets by being the first to stream. Revenue.
The same fucks will complain about lack of content after cheating a patch in a few days.
This game is wonderful stock. I'm sure they could block all modding. They should.
What are your thoughts about third party tools that only changes cosmetics? Like Hrothgars being able to wear hats?
at this point if yoship decides to completely ban addons OF ANY KIND its honestly deserved people go way overboard and its why we can have nice things
honestly the only one that might stay its gshade since its an injector that even the nvidia cards now have so that cant be removed
honestly….people are taking it way too seriously. it's a game……if they wanna cheat fine……does it really matter if everyone knows they are cheating?
Giving this clout and media coverage is the biggest problem in my opinion. I'm raiding to have fun and how and why others play the game is not important
for me. A lot of third party software is what keeps the game alive. Whether it's DPS meters, clothing, UI improvements etc. People who want to cheat will find a way to do it, same with buying clears etc. People always did and will always do that in every game. The WoW approach is the correct one in my opinion. Embrace it and design your fights accordingly for stuff that's a bit less automating the gameplay, keep the rest bannable and then just don't engage any further. It's just not gonna do anything except stressing you out.
And here I am on my PS5 with no access to mods playing the content and diving into PF to clear (because I don’t have a static and my schedule doesn’t allow for having one) – After having issues clearing on Crystal PF, the move to Aether has reinvigorated my drive and I’m up to Harvests on P7S now 🎉 – But yeah, slow and steady… I May not even clear this tier, but I am at least going to have great memories playing and trying my best to in PF and at the end of the day, it’s content I enjoy, and if anything the slower progression allows me more time to savor and enjoy the game until the next patch. Can you imagine how bored I would be if I cleared the content day 1 and essentially had nothing else to do or just got bored with reclearing it?
the devs make fights because it's their job that they're paid for. it's not charity work. also i doubt yoshi p has any hand in making the fights so calling it "his content" is goofy
ff14 boss design could use a rework anyway
What are they trying to do, make this into WoW?
This thing has existed since atleast TEA
im not sure why the community is againts the use of anti cheat in the game. i heard because of "privacy reasons" but i think its just a shield they hide behiend in we all click agree on the user agreements blindly on everything else we use.
