FFXIAH Linkshell Ni

So is anyone else kinda meh about XIV?
Mos, Flav, and I all played together.
I kind of fell off due to time constraints and such. It was fun in that it was casual friendly, but then again, because there was no real satisfaction out of the "challenges" presented, it bored me a little sometimes. It felt like RIFT.
/shrug
I might not have given it the time it deserved though. Hopefully, I can get on it again after I dot all my "i"s and cross my "t"s IRL.
Mos and Flav got a lot father than I did.
EDIT: Corrections. My brain has been on the fritz this week.

I was rather hoping for something with more substance, and that doesn't force me to go at its own pace.
If I don't log in for a month, I'm a month behind despite paying for the game. I don't really want to play a game that dictates how I should schedule my life.
Plus, it seems that iLevel removes skill as a major factor; rather than being able to make do with different tactics and using skill, iLevel tends to dominate.
Have to say, they've made a decent free-to-play game, but not one that I'd be willing to shell out a monthly subscription for.

ya, too damn easy.
it's kinda sad.
I've been building crap on minecraft again, patiently biding my time until something else interesting comes down the pipe.
I'm basically done with the week's activities by Tuesday then I don't bother logging in until the next week :/
yeah I saw that coming, and kinda opted out for now. idk.

I still get satisfaction out of those rare times I one-shot EX primals or we make some progress (albeit very little) on Twintania on our Coil nights, but overall there's just not enough content to warrant logging in most evenings not to mention their content cockblocks that make it pointless to do so. The world needs to build up a lot more, I know, but I'm not sure the game's model really supports the kind of longevity I would like.

I log on and usually craft, get treasure maps, do daily quests, maybe Duty roulette if I have time.
Luckily for me I haven't breezed through the game, so there's still a bit of excitement for me.

Also, the in-game economy is so completely *** right now that I have no motivation to make gil at all, which was like 80% of what I enjoy doing in MMOs.

I hate that you can have an item put up, but UH OH. Someone just made 10 and are undercutting you by 1. 1 GIL.

Yeah, that can get annoying, but the underlying problem is that gil is essentially worthless at the moment. The only real expense for most players is food and maybe travel. You can make it to end game without ever having to buy anything. Then there's the free company gil sinks housing, but that's mostly for shits and giggles, which isn't worth it at current prices.

Oh! Are you and Kara in a Company/LS/whatever that schedules for FFXIV?
When we decided to give it a go, we all had a non-committal "alliance" since we know we had to allot each other lee-way for our priorities outside of the game.
If you two still wanted to play, and I know this type of set-up is hard to come by in MMOs, but maybe you could find a more relaxed EU LS?
I wonder if SE would ever consider going F2P. Wishful thinking maybe.

Housing is a complete joke, make the prices high so no one can afford it, instead of having ONE PLOT PER FREE COMPANY.
But then again, people buying up plots for the lulz only to take them away from others would sound like something people on this game would actually do.
And ilevel is annoying. When you're requiring an ilevel of 80+ for a dungeon that can be passed at 50, I think you're whacked out of your mind.

What makes experience, that you took two weeks to grind a relic and Darklight?
I guess so.

It isn't the company/LS schedule, its the inherent stopgap limits per week. I don't mind scheduling around people I like to play with, since that's pretty much the name of the game with MMOs; but arbitrary weekly content limits just doesn't work for casual players (who only pick it up on occasion) nor for hardcore players (who play regularly).
I wonder if SE would ever consider going F2P. Wishful thinking maybe. Honestly, I'd rather they didn't. I really don't mind paying for a MMORPG; financially it is probably one of the cheapest hobbies expenditure-wise (not necessarily timewise).
I'm willing to pay for content. I'm willing to pay for something to sink my teeth into.
I'm really not going to pay to sit and be forced to do some silly buttonmash DDR-type character move-around game; I'll go play DDR and get some health benefits from it.

My guess is they were trying to go for a middle ground.. where a casual could still feel fulfillment but the hardcore could grind out what they wanted.. problem is it was executed poorly and the caps should be higher.
ESPECIALLY with Duty roulette now.

I seems I've been out for too long! What's Duty Roulette? Pretty much they put you into a random pre-50 dungeon with other people, including the primal fights.
For level 50 players, you get 100 philosophy tomestones and 10 mythology for doing it once a day. Rewards also include gil and extra exp, even more gil and exp if you're a tank or healer, much more needed roles to fill.
It's a way to help the duty finder with people trying to do lower level dungeons, but I go as DPS because that's my only 50 right now, and it can take a while still. D:

Do you mean ilvl in ffxi? or did ilvl come out first in 14 or something years ago?
both really.
11 much more so, as it appears that 14 is founded on that principle, & you can't dislike something for being what it is. I'm just not a fan of that style of progression.
I'm really not going to pay to sit and be forced to do some silly buttonmash DDR-type character move-around game; I'll go play DDR and get some health benefits from it.

Valefor.Applebottoms said: »China is in enough deep water as it is. With all the smog circulating and the one child rule (because every man has to have their name passed on), there are towns full of only men because the ratio of men to women has widened.
Then again this was last I heard/read about, so maybe girls are back in?
Ehhh...Mountains out of molehills! They need to improvise! With all the hub-bub about Japanese fellows clinging to their pillow ladies and completely nixing sex in favor of cartoon spank-bank, maybe the Japs should get over their xenophobia and start sending their lady folk to China to do the deed.
They could look to some Korean gals, but with all the plastic surgery to look "Western" who knows what you'll get in baby roulette?!? The package is deceiving!
I am a truly horrible person for thinking/joking like that.

I'd just like to point out that there is just a slight amount of friction between Japan and China, in many parts due to this, with this being one of the highlights.

Wasn't there a lawsuit in China recently because an ugly woman got prettified surgically and her husband found out when his kids looked like a donkey's anus?

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
