Have they done the boss fight that is the aeon from ff10 yet?
I used to raid, but now i work, i don't have set hours… and even free days changes by the week… so i can't hold a static or a group because i might be there for like twice a month. just not feasable for me. The last thing i did was clear T13 in ARR right before echo came out
Dude how are y’all still giving these streamers your money? They are doing and saying the same thing over and over, like how do you find this entertaining. I guess that’s the definition of insanity though
I have recently started doing minimum item level, no echo Extreme trials and Savage raids as a new player, and I gotta say, this is the most fun I have ever had permawiping to mechanics. Look I suck at the game, it took me 2 groups and 4 hours to clear Shiva mine and like 3 hours to clear Garuda mine and I don't even want to know how long it took me to clear Turn 5 of Coils mine. I didn't even bothered tracking how long it took to clear Alexander Fist of the Father mine. And I had a blast. It feels so rewarding to finally get the clear and looking at how your group slowly starts to understand mechanics. Although I do wish I could get a static to raid with because the most frustrating and least fun part for me is learning all the mechanics with a group, being super close to clearing, dying, someone leaving and having the entire party break apart. Just to start from square one the next day with a different group that has to learn the mechanics all over again. Although I recently got invited to a discord channel of a bunch of people that do only mine content and that feels fucking amazing. I'm excited af.
i dont mind hard content if its worth doing. most hard content just doesnt seem rewarding enough so i dont want to try that hard when i dont have to.
Naw, I just have reached a point in my adult life where I have zero interest having to commit myself to a psuedo part time job with a set schedule and obligation to log on.
ive cleared harder fights with help XD
There is NOTHING when a group figures out and has the number of each boss in progression through to the final raid boss. Every week smashing through each in turn gives motivation to the next boss of the evening until week by week the last boss finally falls. The cheering from everyone when the cinematic of the last boss falling to the ground, ruins sleep pattern wanting to go and get into another raid elsewhere. Seeing everyone in guild with the achievement knowing all the cooperation required
most raiders I know are like me, we like to have fun and goof off but still get the job done. It is a fine balancing act. Nothing worse that going into a raid with a bunch of angry uptight people who think a game is now their job and they will get fired if they fail.
I swear to fucking god, the ffxiv community was never this cringe back in 1.x / 2.x and especially any FFXI player would fucking be embarrassed to be put in the same category as these people. Also zepla feeling the need to make this video just shows how pathetic ffxiv typical player is.
You can't even touch the new ultimate without clearing all the current Pandaemonium savages
I have no one to do savage with.
girls…..the words that come out of their mouths is like a machine gun of waffle……they look good though….and some are good at nurture and being supportive……so it's kinda not all bad…..but try and reason with a girl is like purple = fish.
ffxiv ResidentSleeper
Same Hair…… Zepla better not be pulling a Amber Heard looky-like-thing-a-ma-jig.
I see contradiction in the way asmon talks about GPose, and the way he talks about showing off your gear standing around in WoW…
God as soon as Zepla started mentioning the Ultimate race, Asmon's chat…ugh. Why he ever asks them anything is beyond me, they're just the worst.
Playing this game sounds like learning how to work in a profession…
please give osrs another real shot, I think you'll love it if you get into it
Ppl are like "ff14 bad" "I dont care ff14" etc etc then explain why ff14 will explote when he comes back…
i feel like i could beat an ultimate but god do i hate pf more than anything. I should find a discord or something
She is so emotional about everything
It's not like asmon is going to play it
Zelda my hero
I'm a new player and I really want to do Savage and Ultimate raiding, but it's really hard to practice when using party finder since everyone rage-quits within the first 3 wipes. I kinda wish that the devs implement a system where you can practice solo with bots not for the purpose of earning loot, but for learning the mechanics. That way you don't have to waste everyone's time and quickly get the job done.
I mean the gpose thing shouldn't be a surprise. People have entire careers centered around art and photography.
Whether it is worth it or not is purely subjective. Having cleared the first 3 ultimates etc it really isn’t worth it imo. Sure the weapons are a flex and look cool, sure the content is super challenging to prog, but is the time investment, stress, frustration worth the shiny weapon and feeling of accomplishment? Well that’s for each person to decide. Personally I never felt anything but relief to finally be done with those fights yet some reason I felt obligated more than anything because of my competitive nature. However, I’m not going to prog the new ultimate because they just aren’t that fun to me and the time investment is substantial relative to the reward. Even so, there is still a part of me that feels I should be progging right now but I have to fight that urge and go back to that moment where wiping 300-500 times or more for a kill just isn’t worth it. I have nothing left to prove to myself and I admire the people that have the level of commitment and resolve to push through this content because it truly is brutal.
I said it once, and I'll say it again.
MMOs are easy. Don't get me wrong, there is a general degree of competence that is absolutely necessary in order to complete, say, an ultimate – however, I do not in any way, shape, or form think that it is content for only the top 10% of players. Technically yes but also no. It's as Asmon said, pattern recognition – that is the common thread between every single MMO. If you know the pattern of mechanics, how to do them all AND you can do your rotation (which you can dismiss as muscle memory if you practice long enough) – you will be able to beat every single difficult raid in every single MMO. YES, it might take you a long time, months even but I genuinely believe you can.
Think about it like this: if you are on this video, reading this comment, you are hardcore enough to finish an ultimate. Hardcore players perceive themselves as casual, a lot of the time. Listen, buddy, if you pour 6 hours a day into an MMO – whether it's playing it, engaging with the community, watching videos on it, or otherwise – you are a hardcore player. If you spend that amount of time playing the same game, you will be able to clear the highest difficulty content at one point or another – you might not be a top 1% raider but trust me, you are capable of doing it.
The rewards from Ultimates just aren’t worth it imo. Absolutely none of the equipment appeals to me 😒
99 percentile on every single fight since heavensward and I don't give a fk about ultimates. Why should I do it if it doesn't give me better gear and that it takes significantly longer time for prog?
It's not always about being too hard and not believing in yourself. I think most could clear anything given enough time and practice. The problem is that me, and many others I know, can't commit to static parties or long, drawn out progress groups. Between work, family, and just other stuff pulling you away from the computer in general, alot of people can't sit there for several hours uninterrupted. People like me need content they can run faster and drop in and out of easily, which isn't savage or ultimates.
I don't want to do Extremes, Savages, etc, because I can't just queue for it, I gotta make a party finder.
As a side note, the whole G-Poser playstyle is infinitely deeper if you use third party tools such as Anamnesis or CMT. Then you can actually manually move each bone and do custom poses instead of just using pre-built emotes. You can take a screenshot of, say, your character fishing while sitting on the edge of a pier and have your ass actually be on the edge and your legs danging below. You could take a picture of your lalafell struggling to carry the fat cat and have it actually be in her arms. But this naturally takes up a bit of time.
"Nothing worth doing is easy." And likewise not everything that's hard is worth doing.
Idk she's making me wanna play WoW again it's the only game I ever daticate my self to Actually master it or just be good honestly I feel like getting back into it but only for Pve witch . I'm a pure pvp Boi but I wanna be a that nerdy boy that gets the raid together now
Bruh if Rich was sht at the game the fights would be imposible. You can't get carried in FF
ff14 is a garbage boring game
I'm surprised there were not as many WoW haters in the chat in this video.
It’s fun to see Asmon feeling fulfilled clearing Nael in the Coils. My static has been working on getting past Nael in the Ultimate UCOB for a couple weeks now, and finally getting past her and understanding her mechanics was very fulfilling, even though we still have 3 or so phases to clear after her xD
I am already curious on how Asmongold will react once he starts playing FF14 again, i don't think i ever watched Asmons Streams as much as when he was playing Final Fantasy
You don’t understand /gpose? Tell that to supermodels and photographers
2007 people just went in there and did it
2022 it's scary…
not
Except it isn’t.
Its just funny for people to give rich a hard time..,
just like he does to them, much to their unconsented displeasure at times..,
just his way of being and who he is/shows just makes him a great target for it..,
thus does he take peoples brunt and weight into him..,
I wounder will they make solo ultimate.
Rich is awful-ish at the game, it took him way too long to learn the fights with a group of the best players in the world doing content they do almost exclusively, all day, every day, the dude has a 30 – 50%??? uptime on his GCD, on a class with massive range, no cast times and no actual rotation. You just push your buttons on cooldown. Learning mechanics (with arguably the best shot caller in the entire world, telling him exactly what to do) alone isn't what XIV's difficulty is. It's the ability to press your buttons and do the mechanics yourself. Which he couldn't do on the easiest job in the game.
He was carried. Hard. Which is fine. But his ego exploded to new levels and he pissed a lot of people off for no reason thinking he achieved something off of his own merit.
Clear for 1's do happen, all the time actually, and he's proof of that. The only difference is he got internet xiv mini-celebrities to do it with, who all individually got some money through just being attached to the communities shiny toy of the month through subs, etc.
14:50 Asmon literally bring out the "AdvertiseSP" Voice to explain raid leader haha!
about rich, check his parse, xd literally carried even in his role's job.
