There is so much FF14 can learn from GW2. There is a reason why as soon as I am done with story in FF14, I bail and go play GW2 instead or other games. FF14 gear treadmill is dangerously close to WOW.
Increase the CAP of poetics and Make the Savage Gear from old expansions buyable with tomestones too. It's annoying to setup a party finder for a savage unsync then wipe a few times because the fight has already been forgotten.
Putting bis into alliance raids is a horrible take. Imagine having to grind Euphrosyne 30 times on week 1 for some mfin boots to drop just so you can do top.
xffing
I agree that Savage tier (and maybe also tomestone cap if we're at it) should unlock earlier – with the release of the ultimate at the latest – but saying AR should be Savage equivalent is honestly overdoing it. It's just way too easy to clear compared to Savage. And even if it's supposed to be catch-up content, making it equivalent to Savage is too much when it already drops coins to exchange for tomestone gear augmentation.
Inb4 "who the fuck cares if Savage has been out for so long already" – you do realize this argument goes both ways? If you're not an avid raider – so, a demographic this type of content is aimed at – this is all the catch-up you're gonna need, because you're not gonna attempt Ultimate, or even the entire Savage tier anyway. And if you are raiding more often, then you've either cleared the tier already, or this catch-up gear should be just enough to help you reliably farm Savage for the rest of BiS.
I can't speak for Criterion because I haven't tried it myself, but I heard that it's at the very least on par with Savage in terms of difficulty, so I would also agree that it should give way better rewards than just cosmetics and bragging rights.
19 jobs…
Xenosys needs to smoke some weed lmao i agree with him 100% but damn relax
if 24 man raid gear was savage equal then 24 man would be kick ass to farm and have fun in it will also open up more metas to get
same rant xffing
Xeems can rant as much as he wants, he has no hair to lose anymore. He can fully embrace the rant without worrying about negative effects.
And why Frosty has an ERECTED DONG tattooed with kanji on his shirt ?!
This is why we love Xeno because he is not afraid to say it like it is when something garbage and needs fixing.
This was a pretty awesome show overall and I just enjoyed sitting back and listening to Xeno spit truth while Happy sipped his whiskey and then agreed but then added in a bit of realism to the situation at hand. Really, I'd love to see these changes come to the game because it's only getting harder and harder to gear with all the jobs in the game now and I actually like playing a bunch of different jobs and roles but I've had to completely shelve my tanks and healers in order to get the slightest modacim of gear for my Reaper and my MCH which are my current mains.
I used to be one of those people that said savage gear should only come from savage and if you're not clearing savage then you don't deserve that gear. I think it made sense way back in ARR, but these days, and especially with Ultimate, it doesn't anymore. Also we have more jobs than ever and trying to gear even 3-4 of them for savage, let alone ultimate, is a pain in the ass. I think all battle content outside of dungeons should have savage equivalent, or upgrade to savage equiv, drops. Yes even EX fights.
Alliance raids with savage gear is such an L take. What's the fucking point of working my ass off learning a savage fight if I can just wait 2-3 months and get all that gear handed to me on a silver platter by joining an alliance raid on fucking duty finder, doing 0 DPS, be AFK for the whole duty and get that gear guaranteed to me every single week with no restriction on how many time I can run it, griefing every player on the server, to get the exact piece i want. No fucking thanks lmfao.
Agree on everything else, for sure but not that.
Mr. Happy needs to stop pussyfooting around and actually start voicing his opinions, he has such a voice in the community that the devs and YoshiP would probably hear him out. I don't watch him enough to know for sure but if he's really holding back so he can be invited to the media tours then I've lost respect for him… so if he has I'm sorry but from all the comments I see it seems like he holds back.
Xeno is a true WAR, he came out the gates swinging before they even got the chance to introduce the show 😂
Glad I quit ff14.
Mr Happy walking off to grab a bottle of whiskey mid rant had me in stitches ngl
Happy's face at 1:55 😂😂😂😂 more of these please! Great discussion
They hated xeno because he spoke the truth!
Damn when did Frosty become a DILF
across all mmo's ive played, maybe even every game. FF's gear just seems to not matter, i never felt like Oh great i finally have this piece or that piece. its literally like. Alright ill use these easy af tokens to just purchase this random piece of gear that is 5/10 ilvls higher, its just an upgrade that i dont have to look for, 99% of all armor, all weapons, all equipables just seem so unimportant only seems to have some importance when it can then be used for glam
with all other rpgs ive always nearly felt every upgrade i gave myself, i see the differences in stats, while in FF its just this static this is what it is
to me materia is the most fucking pointless shit ever, Yay… i add 150~ points to a stat that i already have 2200~ in. 0 to 1%~ increase. great…….
not to mention all classes are static, there is no system that allows you to change how you'd play a class, You just have to play its intended design, or play badly.
i love this game but i feel that its gear system is extremely weak to the point any upgrade is forgotten 5 seconds after it happens cause there is no feeling of that improvement and im more so thinking about how much i cant wait until i get something 1-5ilvls higher a month from now so i can put this into my glam dresser.
& even though the classes are designed well. i feel like throughout the entire game ive had zero impact on my characters progression with zero choice in how the class functions unless i just want to play awfully
i dont play high end raiding in ffxiv but it seems when i see it and compare it to the other raiding ive done, that its kind of pointless & probably the worst content in the game
Oh and that 450 cap is bullshit, tuesday resets, not even 12 hours later and im capped. Great…..
1 a week means you have to pay a couple months of subs instead of farming it in 1 afternoon and going inactive until the next patch. FF14 is purposely designed to make you grind to prolong you paying.
That's why i stopped playing, the fights might be fun, feeling shitted on by SE regarding gear for years just kill any enthusiasm
Buhh
Literally all the reasons why I quit the game lol.
He’s so right about the alliance raid gear, it’s not even savage equivalent and you can only get one piece a week, literally why it’s so stupid, it should at least be upgradable
Frosty muting his mic and sipping on his coffee and Happy deadpan smiling into his camera during the rant was hilarious.
