Holy poo poo, I thought you guys were kidding about how serious some people are taking the Jump Potion thing. I never really hang out on Twitch, but I saw a FFXIV radio show on there and decided to check it out. One dude is so incensed by the idea of a Jump Potion that his logical conclusion is that FFXIV will be F2P followed by it becoming P2W sooner rather than later. I get that hardcore guys are upset that some casual players are going to suddenly jump toward their position. I don't totally feel the same way, but I understand some of their points. This stuff is nuts though. I'm not making GBS threads on the podcast or anything, but it's seriously blowing my mind to hear this. There is some serious salt goin around. https://www.twitch.tv/limitbreakradio

I love that scabbards stay visible. Paladin swords should get more scabbards, too. The Garo sword has one, but it just changes to the blade when you start fighting.

The opinions I hear are along the lines of: 1 - I can boost an alt to help raiding 2 - I can convince my friends from WoW to get into the end-game and they can't complain about having to go through everything else

ImpAtom posted:I like the idea that 'getting to level 60 without grinding" is "Pay to win." He clung to his point, but pretty much everyone told him that was some bullshit. A serious leap in logic. The conclusion of the current speakers is that Stormblood is going to be incredibly disrespectful to veteran players by catering exclusively to casuals. Which is weird for me to hear, cause I don't know where I fall in this. I've been playing for over a year now and have SB pre-ordered and play it a lot. So I can't be a casual. But I haven't been around since 1.0 or anything, so I can't say I'm a vet.

The idea of respecting veteran players at the expense of casual players is a really stupid idea and it is how you end up with a game that no one plays. If it was designed that way then anytime someone dropped off for a bit they would just stop playing because they knew they wouldn't be able to catch up. Sometimes you need to reset the floor and put people back to a similar playing field.

Sorry, it was just one of those train wrecks I couldn't look away from. Just something magnetic about a couple of dudes in their late 20's screaming in impotent rage at casuals or whatever their argument was. It was just a lot of hyperbole and the word 'disrespect.'

I'm just sorta bored at work and was looking for something to listen to. The idea of a radio show about FFXIV sounded neat. Now that I've listened for longer than a minute, I just want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. My man threw shade at the Stormblood stuff at Wrestlemania which is exactly enough to make my "Wrong Forever" list. If you don't want to see The New Day as a SAM, RDM, and literally Kefka, can you even live a happy life?

I clicked in for about 30 seconds and they were all dumbstruck at some guy calling in to say that there's huge demand for single-button consolidated combos in PvE and this is why it's bad to "cater to casuals." Have something better that happened today.

"casual" and "hardcore" are really my favorite words because they mean whatever the speaker wants them to mean, and if you know your audience you just have to know which one is the Bad Guy and people will fill in the rest with whatever is most incriminating. is a "hardcore player" someone who logs in 8 hours a day but never does anything other than run EXDR and idle at their house? is it someone who is really mean in LLDR but plays poorly? what about someone who plays 3 hours, twice a week to raid and basically not at all otherwise? a person who has every job at max level but hasn't ever stepped into Savage? basically any of those could be used to describe a "casual player" too. if you're only talking about time played then the "every job at 60 with 270 gear that never raids" person is as hardcore as it gets but the savage raider who only logs in to raid comfortably sits in the casual department. is it about skill? attitude? willingness to do mindless grinds? number of chocobo race wins? who knows! all i know is that i'm comfortably hardcore/casual, and hate hardcores/casuals.

I will admit with no shame that I listen to Mr. Happy's podcasts. Generally upbeat and just random talk about the game, and the guests are usually pretty good too. Xenosys's podcast Unchained is rare but I like it. It's pretty progression raider oriented, and a lot of his videos really front with a hardcore elitist persona, but the podcast itself feels a lot more friendly. It still all sticks to his style though, so I can see that being a huge turnoff to a lot of people. Still, the amount of detail they go into is pretty unrivaled.

A casual is objectively anyone who plays the game without playing dress-up, regardless of how they spend their joyless, unfashionable time.

listed in order of quality Xeno's Unchained - hard to say if it really counts as it has a grand total of 3 episodes in like a year, but actually talks about poo poo I care about which is mostly raiding and class balance from that perspective. Very tell it like it is, but very much comes from the raiding mindset of "these things are the best and if you're not doing it you're trash." Undeniably knows what he's talking about in most cases though. Mr. Happy's State of the Realm - Comes out regularly and is generally the best source if you wanna hear people talk about what's currently happening in ffxiv. Happy's cohost is a moron but Happy himself and his regular guests are all pretty knowledgeable about whatever they're talking about. FrostyTV's Mogtalk - Covers a lot of topics but generally keeps to one topic per show, so it can be pretty hit or miss depending on what you're interested in. Always has very knowledgeable and a wide range of guests from the community (sometimes including Xeno and Happy), but sometimes the subjects are obviously out of Frosty's depth and can make for tedious listening. Limit Break Radio - Hosted by a bunch of fucknuts that played XI and wish the XIV was XI-2. They have a bunch of great ideas like the duty finder as a concept being a horrible idea that destroys the community and believe that yoship is the great satan sent to ruin their game and deliver it unto the casual scum. Only listen to this ironically or if you wanna hear the hosts get loving owned by one of their callers which probably happens once an episode.

What in the entire gently caress. How do you reach this conclusion? I can't imagine how much of a dick I would feel like putting up a PF for Sastasha. Or only playing if I can scramble up 3-7 mates that also have my play schedule. Even in the cross-goon linkshell and on the Discord there's no guarantee that I always have a goon squad on deck.

Well, see, you should have to stand around in one of the main cities, shouting for people who want to come with you to Sastasha, and then you have to walk to the entrance to start the dungeon. You'll get to know the players on the sever better that way and know who is good and who should be blackballed for being poo poo DPS or stealing loot or whatever.

We did that in older MMOs and it did build community on the server but made all content a game of sitting in capital cities with unlinked chat and spamming for members and invites. I don't miss it, but it moss ways to know my server better. It mean, if half of cactus hadn't transferred to gilgamesh. I miss the original wow realm forums for that reason. Cactusr has a Facebook group that gets salty at least

There's also the weekly Speakers of Hydaelyn podcast (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BQVHKP5x3Cs62MB0DF5EQ). Most of their podcasts spend the first half talking about how they haven't actually played the game that week, and the second half usually involves them complaining that FFXIV doesn't have a game world with no loading zones. They're also the same guys doing the Remnants of a Realm videos.

I would pose to them that the thing that has destroyed community isn't the duty finder but the fact that I have to push a button more often than an average of 1 per 12 seconds. That old mmos literally had you doing nothing for double digit seconds at a time definitely both allowed and encouraged you to get chatty because they were interminable otherwise.

What kind of talk would one even want from a podcast about this game? Boss strats? Talk about the community? Just reading OF posts out loud and making fun of them? Or do you want, like, guests, or interviews with devs or voice actors? I don't listen to any gaming podcasts, so I don't know what people are in to.
