Are GRAFIX related/technical questions allowed in the next live letter?
Unless they're making healers way more healer focused and lowering the GCD, it isn't going to improve things
...
I want to play Tactics to prepare for Return to Ivalice. Which version should I play? Any tips?
yes, but nobody is going to fucking ask those questions. they will ask "WHEN ARE GETTING X GLAMOUR" or "ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO MAKE A SWIMMING POOL FOR HOUSES"
I can already see them telling us that certain (((features))) will be delayed for patch 4.1 or 4.2.
Fucking jews
I feel the same way OP.
are you a newfag? they did the same shit for heavensward. barely any info until they dumped it all 1 month before release. same with benchmark.
They showed a video of all jobs new abilities at a fanfest.
Thats something.
Be prepared for more of the same my friend!
Why test the waters when you can just suffer more 2 Dungeons/1 Primal and the Occassional Raid Update every patch? Stormblood is proving to be more of the same with nothing of substance added.
The problem isnt only the questions, the problem is the way Yoshi-P dodges most questions that talk about features for the game. How many times have we seen an actual answer outside of "Please Look Foward To It", "We Will Consider It", "No, We Think Thats Just a Minority Desire" or "We Have Thought Of It But Its Very Complicated"?

how can I make this stop
the HW job skill video didn't come out until 1 month before launch
he says a lot more but it's a pain in the ass to translate, so you get the gist translation from interviews. compare the japanese interviews to the english ones.
play dps to avoid responsibility
hide all chat tabs
I don't remember much except that Heavensward threads were shilled so much mods banned them. Or was that after it launched? 2 years man.
>Get Dun Scaith group that wipes to almost every boss. Including normal Diabolos.

Such is life in the EU.
is another ffxiv thread where /vg/ posters pretend to not be /vg/ posters?
...
>they patched out the dissipation feature
I lost all interest in stormblood fuck square
>yoship totally hasn't said multiple times they'll talk about the revamp in may
that was in a live letter and not fanfest.
Au Ra sure love their ponchos and nerd glasses
>>only two new jobs
2 new classes is pretty good for the expack
>both dps
Has nothing to do with anything
Actually not being afraid to put pure dps classes in the game shows that Yoshi has more balls than wow/lotro/aoc/wildstar and many other mmo developers
>Eureka is a new zone for Relic only stuff, and relic gear you can upgrade
>It's just Diadem 2.0
>SE will get sloppy and make relic quest involve going back to 2.x and 3.x content.
ALSO REMOVE SCRIPS, GATHERING/CRAFTING SHOULDN'T BE HAVING LOCKOUTS LIKE BATTLE JOBS
Stormblood could be the same shit as Heavensward and I'll still be happy. I already like the game the way it is, I just want new stuff to do and balance changes. If they stray too far from the formula then you end up with shit like cataclysm WoW or modern runescape.
>raiding normally
>all goes well
>MT stays out of tank stance for about entire fight
>start doing faster kills
>suddenly MT starts dying
Healers are to blame, right?
Only explanations are healers want to do more DPS now and it's getting tank killed?
How do you solve this? Have the tank stay in tank stance more?
>SE will get sloppy and make relic quest involve going back to 2.x and 3.x content.
>SE will get sloppy
>sloppy
Triggered.
FFXIV is only fun during the leveling process, once you reach endgame it's boring.
I just can't wait to level all jobs to 70 then quit.
what is it? what did/does it do?
>X game is only fun on the first playthrough, once you reach the credits it's boring
no shit
Or terrible insight as everyone flocks to try the new classes, then queues get bogged down thanks to typical tanks and healers trying the new dps classes.
It just shows that they, instead of bothering to try new mechanics and methods of healing/tanking, they elected to avoid the topic yet again except this time by doing nothing. Last expansion they just made copypaste classes with new names and weapons but the same abilities.
That doesn't even make sense
If you swift cast another fairy summon and use dissipation at the same time you get a fairy, the dissipation buff and the aetherflow stacks. This thing has been in the game since HW and they just now removed it.
S T R A W P O L L
Not that user but I'm about to take this advice and pick bard. I'm already a c@boy so everyone expects me to be shit anyway.
20/10
Original ps1 version, you'll have to emulate it of course. The shitty localization is part of the charm, and any extras like the animated cutscenes in the wotl remake you can always watch on youtube.
FFXIV is a story based game and once you reach the level cap/end of MSQ, you see the credits. If you try to do any post-game content, it's boring. Just like almost any single player RPG in existence. Why do you torture yourself doing NG+ dozens of times by leveling all jobs to 70?
How do I know beforehand if an FC is full of normies? I'm tired of my FC full of memes.
What is the absolute worst keybind setup you've ever seen?
My own.
How would you even go about looking at someone else's keybinds? Do people just go around bragging about their keybinds like a bunch of autists?
Benchmark comes out next month if I can recall
People post them all the time. And then there's the people who rightfully think that clicking is literally satan
I've been in 4 FCs at this point. There is no way to guarantee it, unless you make your own FC of people you like and never invite anybody else. Just like real life there will always be some people that annoy you. You just have to live with them.
>Log in because I'm a retard with nothing better to do
>Immediatly get fucking assaulted by an erping femroe /em-ing that she rapes me with her big futa horsecock
I'm so fucking done with this game.
Anything that doesn't use mouse buttons
...
You really just have to do what works for yourself.
My keybinds probably make no real sense to anybody else. I just kind of put them in some comfortable places and now I can push them with my eyes closed.
whatever the opposite of mine is.
Well? Are they gunna make a swimming pool for houses or not?
>took 2 years off
>have to relearn 40 endgame dungeons and 20 primals
F
but user, all that matters is the current endgame. :^)
Literally what server does this? I'm on Phoenix and the worst I've ever seen was someone telling me that my character has beautiful eyes
google pls, if you fill the whole capthca with cars and tell me I'm wrong after clicking all of them you can go fuck yourself
Things that literally never happened outside of Balmung
clicking is literally hitler. people who click always do lower dps than keybinders. it's just impossible to keep up with movement and clicking at the same time. it's even worse than people who backpedal away from AoEs instead running backwards.
Wow, literally the same as every server ever. What a suprise.
FFXIV is also an MMO designed for new players who never been into an MMO or those old veterans who have retired from their best MMO and just want to waste their time until they die.
WHY NOT JUST CHANGE DISSIPATION TO COST MANA THAT GIVES HEALING UP AND 3 STACKS
I use QWE123RT456`. I do not use shift/ctrl+key, I flip between them using CVB, as hotbars 213 respectively. So I have each ascending Aero on the same key for each hotbar, and to do them, I press B to go to Hotbar 3 and E for Aero 3, then C to Hotbar 2 E for Aero 2, and finally V to Hotbar 1 E Aero 1. It sounds absolutely retarded but I'd still rather do that than stretch my fingers like an ayylmao.
I also move using M1+M2 exclusively.
is there any situation where clicking is acceptable? situational cooldowns perhaps?
I just want them to let us fill up the mansion basement with water and make an underwater basement
Although I'd probably just settle for them doing literally anything at all to make housing anything besides a complete and utter waste of money that nobody ever has any reason at all to be in
holy shit, I know that guy
he refused to unlock bard in 2.x for awhile
>I also move using M1+M2 exclusively.
I know more people that do this but I don't think that's something I could ever get used to.
Does alex normal still have a lockout?
This is Alphinaud, and he's ready to kick some butt!
Say something nice about him to encourage him!
Which control scheme is superior?
Keyboard and Mouse
Controller
Legacy or Standard controls?
>Hi/salut
There is no faster way to make me stop DPSing that finding the whole party is composed of frogs.
Sadly that makes dungeons absurdly long because no frog can DPS worth a damn.
clicking is only acceptable for crafting/gathering. you can even get away with clicking in MSQ or normal content.
but if you do any sort of PVP or extreme/savage content, stop fucking clicking ASAP. you're dragging everybody down.
Keyboard standard
Would world PvP make xiv more fun? Not pansy opt-in shit, either.
There's a lot of faggots that play this game. Who bitch about the smallest accidental fuck ups. TANK was brb for a sec, I went to stand next to other DPS and I accidentally aggro (don't know how) and he has to comment about it, like a little fag.
>I also move using M1+M2 exclusively.
What if you need to look in a different direction than straight ahead of you while running?
That must've been really emotionally scarring for you. I am sorry.
Two words: WoW Refugees.
Your sister's hot

Maybe you won't get everyone killed this time
If you do well I'll show you how to stop wearing lipstick and remove your short tie
I won't make fun of you if you stay quiet enough
No, I hope it's true that they are changing PvP in 4.0 and actually has it's own skills only and doesn't use any PVE ones.
You've never played frontline then.
And no, i don't mean it would be a big disorganized mess. I mean that this game is not built for PvP. Everyone would just walk out as a healer and be immortal.
Fuck no. Not with the tick rate and server stability this game has. Not to mention FF was not built with PVP in mind, it's a PVE game first and foremost. Go play WoW or something.
You are the reason why games become shit without support classes and with garbage like duty finder
> Last expansion they just made copypaste classes with new names and weapons but the same abilities.
lie
kb+m and standard control scheme is objectively the best. all your skills are shown in-front of you and are accessible with 1 keybind press. you also have the benefit of typing during combat without dropping a controller or playing with one hand.
I stop moving for a split second and turn the camera around really fucking fast. Alternatively, I don't.
Well then call me "no frog".
Nope, never. There is only one I can think of and that's selecting a minion to use its LB in lord of verminion.
The default box select sucks balls and if you have a group of 4 minions with their LB ready in a group of 10, and you select them all - its a crapshoot whether it will light up the LB button or not. You play too zoomed out to click on them manually as they're too small, so the only way is to manually click on their flashing portrait.
All over? No.
A persistent pvp zone divided by GC would be cool, and suitably minigamey for XIVs dogshit pvp.
Maybe that's what the unused parts of mor dhona could be
how would world pvp even work? if people are part of another grand company than yours you can attack them out in the open? seems like it would be massively imbalanced.
Taking into account how much world pvp has directly or indirectly ruined WoW, no.
I hope the teleport rates to not-japan are geographically proportional
Literally doesn't matter in this game, as long as you don't use standard controls to keyboard turn/backpedal.
Yoshi said ages ago in interview never happen when he went on about his first MMO DAoC and other stuff and just won't work for this game.
Make Frontlines only 2 factions.
Let us be able to put PvP point in skills for all jobs.
Remove premades.
if you noticed lately they've been adjusting how responsive skills feel. blm/mch procs are more snappy, you can refresh huton at 0.3 seconds instead of 2s now, etc. Americans are also getting brand new server equipment and moving their datacenter to a more central area.
>Guy with 98k subs
>3k views in over two months
Wew. Sad.
t. no idea what you're talking about
World pvp hasn't ruined wow, arenas and blizzard pandering to and balancing the game around soccer moms and dads who can only play 2 hours a day did.
How's standard superior? It has fucking tank controls
Or is there any other differences?
>inb4 only 1-9
I use one of those "MMO-mice" that has twelve keys by my right thumb, so I reach them all instantly.
