From what I've seen the WoW xpac is incredibly paint by numbers and is doing nothing particularly bold or interesting, probably because they're scrambling to recover from the shitshow that was WoD. Subscriber numbers have been at a 9 year low. There's a nonzero possibility that XIV might actually become the WoW killer of prophecy, meaning that it actually carves out a decent sustained subscriber base and is taken seriously as a AAA MMO and not just yet another WoW clone also-ran, but rather something that actually challenges Blizzard and makes them sweat.  I've long had an almost irrational belief in the potential of this game, but I did not ever expect to be seriously considering this possibility.

potato dragoons seem like they would have silly looking animations. I think I might switch from roe to potato when I level my dragoon to 60. Not sure though.Boten Anna posted:From what I've seen the WoW xpac is incredibly paint by numbers and is doing nothing particularly bold or interesting, probably because they're scrambling to recover from the shitshow that was WoD.

I took six of my buddies into unsynced Garuda-Titan-Ifrit EX last night. Two healers, two tanks, three dps, one of the healers was still 50. Ifrit is probably more difficult than being capped at 50, mainly due to how easy it is to push him into enrage unintentionally. Our PLD tank was able to solo DPS him down from 20% to 10% before we finished the nails at one point. Otherwise a lot of fun, a lot of laughs. We're not a pro group by any means, but it was still pretty goofy seeing things like Titan's heart melt before the gaols could go out.

Even after these horrible doom and gloom subscriber numbers for WoW, if you give FF14 the most generous estimate for active subs possible, it's still lagging behind WoW by a factor of 5. Just because goons love 14 now and like to barge into every MMO thread to say how much better it is than WoW doesn't mean it's actually killing WoW.

That the sequel to Final Fantasy XI is becoming the go-to ship-jump, as well as assisting that suicide by highlighting just how lazy, unimaginative, and lumbering WoW development is, is something I never actually expected to happen. Ryanbomber posted:Just because goons love 14 now and like to barge into every MMO thread to say how much better it is than WoW doesn't mean it's actually killing WoW. To be clear, I'm using "WoW killer" a little bit tongue in cheek here, but the term is more of a reference to a shakeup of the status quo with WoW as the unassailable 10 ton gorilla with everyone else fighting for scraps than literally burying WoW and becoming the gorilla. XIV likely doesn't even have 1m subscribers, but it's commanding (or close to) an actual pie slice. That's a big change. Boten Anna fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Having done WoW hard mode and FFXIV savage they are both really good and similar in terms of difficulty. So it's not surprising that if you don't like WoW ffxiv is a good alternative. More stuff to do and the game play is very similar as well as the end game if you like that.

Well it was, shame they forgot to make update content for it. e-seriously WoWs lack of follow up content and their increasing pace of expansion release is making it look like they would be better off being b2p with a cash shop and dlc. It would be quite a day when WoW turns b2p/f2p faster than FFXIV. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Also, for all the talk of being too small to see glamours, potatoes are much better off in terms of looks than the proto-potatoes (otherwise known as tarutaru), since their proportions were roughly analogous to a weeble with a neck.

bonewitch posted:Crit/Det is probably still best given that they only have one dot. Stuff like SMN and BRD will probably stack skill speed a lot more assuming the scaling on them aren't garbage. It seems like Summoner doesn't really want spell speed over det/crit based on scaling tests, it's just not almost completely useless for most of their damaging spells now, so you don't cringe quite as much when it appears on gear. As far as I know, it still doesn't help you do more damage per second with abilities like Deathflare and Fester, though, which is a fairly big deal.

Wonder Turbine posted:Think I found your problem. I played as a female char for a while but it started to just feel a little weird when I spend so much time on playing dress up (the real endgame). Cipher Pol 9 posted:Other races have at least one flaw, potatoes are flawless. Shed your excess height and come back to the chosen people. IMO, all the races have their flaws. In general I think it's pretty clear they spent more time on the female's in this game, haha. Hyur: Midlanders are kind of boring, their animations lack personality. Highlanders are pretty great but the males start having the build of humans in WoW which isn't a good thing. Elezen: Stiff animations and they have giraffe necks, it's also hard to make a guy that doesn't look like an evil douche or a literal child. Roe: Females are pretty great, dudes are cool but being so large makes movement seem slow and a lot of gear looks weird as hell on them (lol AF2 DRG) Lala: Hilarious, but it's hard to take a potato person seriously as the Warrior of Light. Cattes: Great animations, plenty of personality. Males have a weird posture when you look at it. Ears make a lot of hair styles look odd, nightmares imagining them bald Au Ra: Ladies are dragon catgirls, but they're well designed. Dudes are giant, and take the anime aesthetic to an extreme. Might try out a 3 pack and give Lala and AuRa a try...such a waste of my money. Ouhei fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Agree that they're proportions are alright but... Lala's are cute, not cool. The only ones I take seriously are the Syndicate ones (and Papashan because hell yeah Papashan) because they're the freaking Mafia and they leverage their cuteness/inability to take seriously to their advantage. Warriors of Light potatoes are scrub (if hilarious) tier.

From an NPC standpoint, the best characters are Roes and Elezens (Moenbyrda, Harchefaunt, Hoary Boulder, etc) whereas the most evil have been lalafells (the syndicate). I'm still a bad character that has a name with a cat pun, but still a potato.
