Already a thread up, but its made by some retard who didnt even mention it.

>greatest MMO expansion to date

that image has nothing to do Ruins of Kunark though?

>Kunark
>not Velious

I've been really loyal and dedicated to this game for years, I made my account back with the original 1.0 release on September 1st, 2010. I never unsubscribed at all after the game rereleased as A Realm Reborn, but Stormblood looks so underwhelming to me that I can't even get a little bit excited. Actually, I'd rather it just not come out for another year so they maybe make it into something decent and I can take my time finishing up various things I have left to do.

Only if we get new hairstyles.

>pre-ordered
What? I thought FFXIV was monthly pay to play.

>he thinks casual faction quests and ToV tops VP and epic quests

yeah ok

im not stupid enough to preorder games
they even delayed the content for 1 month so you can wait and see if the expansion is shit or not

fuck off back to vg, loser

HW was painfully mediocre from start to finish. There is no way you can convince me to resub, AND drop $40 for the expansion at the same time.

Good. Stay go, dumb frogposter.

Sit on my benis.

It was pretty good. You will.

I want my queen to step on me, call me a worm, slap me across the face with her extra hands as I grow harder, rubbing my duck with her feet as she dares me to fucking cum, knowing that punishment awaits when I do. I cum everywhere, my queen picking me up and throwing me across the room while she calls me a horny little swine, not worthy of her attention as I'm locked in my cell once more.

>300k active players

Never gets old.

Because I stopped playing after they turned the game into a generic WoW clone after 4.0

Fucking this. 2.0 was good, but HW was shit, and you'd have to pay me to come back and play SB.

Chains of Promathia came out 13 years ago

2.0 was pretty bad too, but people stuck around in hopes of HW being better since arr was built in less than 2 years.

i can't even download the fucking trial, it keeps erroring out on me

what armor is that?

Because there's no new heal class.

>2.5
>HW in general
>300k active players

Yeah, nah. I'm good.

Second Coil, newfag

I don't like ffxiv, but why should I play BDO? Its literally a dead end grind game.

it's the 5th time I see this exact post

This thread is ruined not even thirty posts in, good job guys.

Its quite a few mil now though luckily.

>people who glamour an armour set on their cat/lizardgirl without any pants

is there a greater facet of cringe?

whut

it's how you get comms

No one gives a fuck about shitty fucking Black Desert you fucking shill.

>the only thing you had going for you was good character creation
>Botch it with model locked classes

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY FUCK UP THAT BADLY?

Calm down nigger, get a house in BDO and by COMFY AS FUCK.

>RPG
>zero customization in the game apart form the character creation unless you are prepared to heavily shill out real money on cosmetics

No thanks

HW was shitty but SB looks good so far, although I guess we won't really know until it's out for a while.

how is housing a selling point? I can just go play sims for that

Are we talking about ffxiv or bdo?

but i have a plot in XIV and i enojoy it. You do have a full plot, right user?

Nah, you've never seen a ruined thread if you think this is ruined.

It's shit.

It's about as fake of an "open-world" MMO as you can get. It's like paying for an interactive haunted house, but when you walk inside you're forced onto a track-guided vehicle where you just sit and watch everything happen around you.

No it doesn't, its confirmed only 300k players actively login to the game anymore. The subcount is easily well under a million.

I don't know what to level first. I guess I should go tank because I don't want to get stuck with my only level 70 being a DPS after all the Red Guys and Sam Raimis catch up and bloat the queues.

My battle retainer is a Paladin so I guess I should do that.

'Cause I'm still doing 7th Astral Era content. Kill me.

You know full well what game we're talking about.

Waiting for my brand, spanking new RX 460 2GB to arrive, first.

Not really surprising at the end of an expansion. We haven't had content for several months now.

You cant just say confirmed to make something confirmed.

Even when content was fresh, the game was documented as barely pushing 500k. People really have not responded well to HW as a whole, and I don't think many are going to return.

Why haven't you ordered Papa Johns?

xivcensus numbers are accurate

>no /pizza command like everquest
Shit pizza, would not order.

>1 month to grind ionrwork monk set
Please do 12s with me for the alex kataner.

Unofficial. You cant say "PROOF?" for good numbers, but then cite unofficial sources for bad numbers to prove your argument.

The game is actually at a high point right now if you look back at documented stats. The playerbase sat around 230-250k for the entirety of last year, even during non content lulls.

So yeah, the game isn't doing so hot.

Haha. The reddit mods deleted the posts with these images. You can't stop the leak once it's out there.

Data center?

If you are referring to that one graph, it only counted people who finished the MSQ, which isn't exactly the best condition for a census.

I say this because I know there are at least two people in my hardcore raiding static who almost never bother to complete the MSQ, let alone unlock the new expert dungeon.

Why would a company back accurately collected DB results that make them look bad?

Oh wait, they wouldn't.

I actually did just a few minutes ago.

Does it really take papa johns a whole fucking hour to deliver pizza? I live like a 10 minute walk away from them.

Because they doubled my ping

I don't get the active players argument. At peak times all areas in the game are chock full of players, especially Limsa, Idyll, Quarrymill, doing shit even if just chatting (not ERP).

Cross server party finder you have about 80 - 100 parties at peak, and queues for any content are never long.

This game feels much more alive than any other MMO out there with supposedly higher numbers of active subs.

Primal

What are you trying to say even? Theres no proof thats accurate.

That's the only way for human beings to perform good in this game. Of course games with 3 skills don't need a long GCD.

Dick swinging more than anything, because lord knows in a game where 4 man parties are the big thing 300k people is just not a big enough pool.

Probably should've done carry out, you lazy whore.

rip then, I'd help pray I could.

What are your feelings of ffxiv becoming a complete hug box now?

>xivcensus
If you are going to use some unofficial census, use the japanese one as reference. At least they use more than one criteria ("lol minions").

>Only doubled

Mine went up 13x

Anyone that plays knows it has 200-300k active players, sub numbers are even lower due to alts.

Git gud

Fuck that shit I already put a 2 dollar tip in, that fuqqboi better put in his work to delivery some hot fresh pizza or ill get his worthless ass fired

No one keeps their alts far enough along to qualify for census. Most never even level them past being able to get to uldah.

Fuck all else to do, also a lot have alts on balmung

Why do people sperg out about Protect so much?

>Only considers players who have an item from the MSQ

If we counted the people in WoW who had a leveled artifact weapon only they would probably have less players than XIV using this metric. Yeah lets just forget the people who arent max level, didnt finish MSQ, or didnt use the pet.

Why can't they fix the faces

>Anyone that plays knows
Ah yes, I forgot there is a number of online players right next to the server's name on the login screen. I keep forgetting about this feature.

>retards should never face social consequences for their actions in a social environment

pure delusion, I even voted on their survey thing despite never going there.

I've never grouped with someone who didn't have it cross-classed so that would probably confuse me more than anything. Your logic seems sound though, he was a retard for making an issue out of it.

Dumb frogposter is in the wrong, as always.
Just cross-class protect at an earlier level you shitter.

Aurum Vale is like lvl47 what the fuck do you have cross classed

this is a better MMO and better video game in every single way

>good combat, no cooldowns since it's all about resource managment. feels incredible

>buy to play

but nah, let me play this themepark MMO with a 2.5 seconds global cooldown.

Sup Forums is so plebian

That's just reddit desu
Unless you play on NA, then everywhere is a hugbox

How much does protect reduce

But... Muh lore...

>can steal, can kill innocent npcs, bounty system etc

World of Detroitcraft

why people come here just to complain

cuz they're heathens who haven't heard the Word

it adds 15% to your defense stat

Well, why do you waste your time arguing with people? And If you don't want to use Protect that much, why don't you just play dumb and say {Hello!} instead of going full retard with another retard?

Who /Odin/ here?

What 4 skills do you have cross classed at this point?

...

damn that miqote has some nice hips
