BLU waits 2 years for content with no mount as its reward for Eden raids. Criterion Savage gives zero incentive after an 8 month wait and no change to the formula.
But that's okay! 2 overpriced mounts have appeared on the SE Store mere weeks apart!!!
This company, man. I can't.
This situation about a player that refused to press their buttons, has once again vindicated everything that gets said about the insane entitlement that permeates FFXIVs community.
Sure it's a game, but it's a game you play with others. Our time and sub is as important as yours.
REGULAR REMINDER TO STOP LOCKING YOUR PARTY FINDERS TO FUCKING DOUBLE MELEE. 1 MELEE, 1 RANGED, 1 CASTER, 1 ANY DPS ROLE. THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE 5% DAMAGE + VITALITY BUFF. THANK YOU.
SE: "Please do not mod our game!!!" Alongside the ToS.
Also SE: Lists screenshots with clearly modded clothes and character features as "finalists" for their Art Contest.
I'm all for a change of tone, SE, but is this double-standards or plain naivety?
Label your PF as a parse party or go pre-made for it. No one cares about your funny number especially in off-patch PF. Unreal how far people will go to pad their meaningless logs.
I cannot believe PF is still locking double melee even in a tier without tough DPS checks. The delusional mindset that 2 melee's automatically means more damage when player skill is a much bigger factor, let alone the additional mitigation etc. will never cease to amaze me.
@FF_XIV_EN
Why give your players incentive to do the already lacking content in this expansion, when we can just throw it on the mogstation for a quick buck instead of giving people more reasons to play the game.
Cheating is nothing new, including in FFXIV. Any element of competition or personal accomplishment is erased by entitled players in just about any multiplayer game.
That said, seeing plugin abuse for something as trivial as the Fall Guys event is somehow even more gross.
@FF_XIV_EN
Glad to see that with each Mogstation release, more and more comments are critical of the decision-making behind what goes on there. The game is practically in a year-long drought. The least you could do is give people more reasons to play by making it farmable in-game.
Inevitable yet no less saddening to see so many defend SE's decisions with the Mogstation. This company is not your friend. They do not care about you. Hold them to higher standards. EW content has been lazy and half-baked in a lot of ways even without the cash-grabbing bullshit.
AAAAHHH WE JUST GOT PARTNERED MID-STREAM AAAAHH THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH I COULDN'T GET THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU ALLL OMG IM SO SPEECHLESS IM SHAKING AND EVERYTHING
Ban all or ban nothing, SE. No one would complain if you were actually consistent about what you enforce. Threats in Lodestone posts don't make sense when bans are only happening due to mass-reporting/brigading (pretty fucked up thing to do as well) or picking and choosing.
For all the issues EW has had, it's also done a great job at making me feel very stupid when it comes to progging stuff. This transition from execution-heavy sequences to straight up geometry and brain-training, has me feeling like i'm extremely washed up and bad at the game...
For what it may be worth, in regards to the recent drama regarding GShade - I am no longer a member of staff for the GPOSERS community server (where support for GShade also resides). I can't and won't support the developer due to their intentional inclusion of malicious code. 1/2
Your👏first👏clear👏parse👏doesn't👏matter!👏
Clear is a clear. I'm seeing way too many people be sad because they died and are grey/green on their first kill.
You have so much time to clean it up and parses are irrelevant until weeks from now when you'll be geared better c:
Troll or not, fact that people are going to OCE and trying to do NA/EU strats is cringe af.
SE are already concerned about culture diffs so if they see everyone acting like twats they could just scrap the idea.
If you go to a diff region, you do their strats. Basic etiquette...
Makes me laugh how so many clown on phys-ranged as a role and yet I see so many PFs up looking for one. Y'all wonder where they've gone after all the abuse and memes LMAO
Attention FFXIV Party Finder.
Stop locking PFs to double melee. You need 1 Melee, 1 Ranged and 1 Caster and the last slot can be ANY DPS ROLE for the 5% party bonus to be given. Ranged/caster can do melee pos as well. Stop banning double ranged too. Thank you.
The absolute state of hunts in this game LMAO.
What is this authoritarian-style bullshit being arbitrarily enforced in a fucking video game... over public mobs in an open world. Insanity. People wonder why I rant about the hunt community - this kinda shit is why.
Personal rant incoming. Nothing bad or important, just something I'll only vent about once because though it's something I mostly learnt to ignore in life, over a long time it sorta bubbles up and boils over on occasion.
For some context, I'll get personal for a minute. All my
Patch 6.5 took over 4 months to develop, will be another 3 months to fully release, yet a matter of hours to complete. Some of the content is weekly anyway, and most of the rest is short, uninspired and/or predictable. EX was good.
But hey, more Mogstation content coming soon!!!
Hopefully this is the last break I take for quite some time. I hate that it's almost become a trend these past months. I'm sorry. I will be back and things will be better this time. Surely.
Thank you for your patience and stuff. See you all soon.
Don't think I've ever been so demotivated for new patch content in the 5 years I've been playing FF.
Not sure if I'm still fighting burnout or if the content releases are just getting too bland.
Still certain aspects I'll love forever, but new content just ain't it for me rn...
This might not be new info and I'm not sure just how useful it is to know, but DoTs appear to be ticking during the Phoenix cutscene after HC2+Ego Death cast. Might help with the DPS check if even just a tiny bit. After our decimal enrages prior to kill, I'd believe it lmao.
Today I woke up to the sound of Ul'dah music. I hoped for a second in my sleepy state that i'd somehow left Earth and had woken up on the streets of Ul'dah isekai style but no, turns out my step brother has simply bought the game.
Dreams of living in Eorzea shattered...
In 11 hours, TOP prog restarts with a new group. 3 cleared, 4 fresh and myself with P5 experience up to Sigma.
Nervous yet excited. This time it's personal.
Cannot fathom the fact that people are still insistent on doing the tank DD strat for P1S in week 20+, even to the point of joining PFs that clearly say "Flex Intemp" or words to that effect, and then acting like it's normal to intentionally fail a very simple mechanic.
Insane.
No Wildfire fix. SAM buffs with comical reasoning. True North granted to DRG during Dragon Sight. Mitigation ranges now hilariously large.
This dev team has no idea what they're doing anymore.
Still hard to find the words to describe this weekend. Phenomenal, humbling and surreal.
Incredible to meet and hang out with so many other content creators. Thank you to everyone that came up to say hi too, amazing to meet you all!
I feel so lucky. Thank you for everything.
Predictable yet still disappointing to see and hear of so many taking the "prog point" feature on tomestone so seriously. Being frustrated at lack of prog is understandable but there are problems with doing this.
- Unreasonable to assume everyone will upload/have their prog logs
Just got back to my hometown and I'm feeling emotional and shit man wtf is this lmaaooo
These days I'm usually the type to dislike going away for long periods cos I'm a bitch that likes my own space too much but now I'm just sad.
Anyway stream returns tomorrow or Wednesday!
Honestly glad that WoW has gotten better and is getting people hyped and interested in playing it again.
It'll always be FFXIV's
#1
competitor and in my opinion, SE need that competition in order for FFXIV to become better going into DT and beyond...
...*Huffs Copium*
Really don't understand this spiel about 8.0 apparently featuring changes and ideas people actually want (like res removal from casters and more significant changes to jobs). Why do we have to wait 2-3 more years when they seem aware of it already?
I don't usually complain about Discord's weird UI decisions because as much as I don't understand why, after a day it's the new norm.
However the new mobile app is buggy af, annoying, fucks up years of muscle memory that didn't need changing and looks like complete dogshit.
Shame that Criterion again has no replay value for an otherwise decent and fun dungeon. Mount is marketable anyway. Struggling to even care about Savage since rewards somehow managed to be even worse and the formula is just as contrived as the first time.
Disappointing.
I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog I wanna prog
However I must stress that you should not direct any hate or malice toward any remaining staff. We sincerely had no idea that it was even implemented until it was brought to light today, and our job is/was nothing more than enacting rules for the server. Staff are NOT devs.
Crazy and surreal experience to meet so many awesome people that shape the ffxiv twitch directory and content sphere. An experience I won't forget. Thank you 💛
You know Party Finder is beyond saving when you're kicked from a party for arguing against them because they're insisting on double melee compositions.
It's actually infuriating. Holy shit. Stop doing this. You have no idea what you're talking about.
A year ago today, the Twitch channel got partnered. I can't believe it's been a whole year already. Thank you so much for all the love and support in getting there and an insane, life-changing year since then.
Partnerversary stream date is TBD. Will announce soon!
Thank you ♥
There's no worse feeling than that of being powerless. Seeing many friends either have to leave their DSR groups, disband altogether or otherwise have serious issues through no fault of their own, makes me sad. There's nothing I can do to help their dying motivation to raid. :c
24 hour stream. $2550 raised for charity. I'm utterly speechless.
Thank you all so much for being there, donating and supporting.
Big thanks to the many streamers that raided us during as well!
I'll be back Monday or Tuesday. Have a great weekend. Thanks again. ♥
That FFXIV PAX panel has revitalised a lot of hope for DT that I was previously very sceptical about. Earlier release date than I thought, more rewards, combat becoming less mundane...great news all around.
Been raiding since I started FFXIV back in late 4.1 with 4.2's Sigmascape as my first proper tier. Fast forward 4 years and now with 5 savage tiers and 3 ultimates under my belt, I'm finally trying hardcore for the first time. 12+ hours a day until it's done. Nervous but excited!
@HaruHissatsu
"We will add UI features to the game in due course but in the meantime we'll ban people for using pure QoL that isn't cheating. Those MB bots and PvP cheats are free to roam the game though."
Fair play to you for owning the risks, but doesn't change SE's bullshit inconsistency.
Twitlonger doesn't work so incoming long post. Update:
Recently I put out a tweet raising awareness of malicious Twitch accounts aimed at many FFXIV players/creators and more relevant to this update, pointed out links between a series of events, that heavily implicated somebody
Will post here just in case. LFG to finish TOP. Can play on EU or NA. Willing to play at degen hours to account for NA timezones if necessary. DM me here or on Discord if you're interested and want logs/have questions - Seren

Thank you!
Sad reality that you lose so many after the fact. I've even seen people get partnered just from MSQ, only to lose everyone after. However, it's true that you probably don't wanna keep those that are only there to jerk off over the tears they desperately want you to spill.
Crazy.
Watching streamers going through the MSQ for the first time is fun but let me tell you when I say I would fight 90% of their chatters, I mean it. MSQ React Vampires in this fandom have no idea how obnoxious they are. It's obvious who is there for Reacts vs the Actual Streamer.
@trenthardgaming
My frustrations over recent months have come from that very fact. It really feels like they just don't care anymore, especially about players that have been around for a long time. It used to be so good, even through Covid which was a much more valid excuse too.
I feel you 100%.
Losing your shit over them writing "Ultimate Raid" without the plural S, is a bit TOO cynical imo.
Many of us are justifiably skeptical about decisions regarding FFXIV atm due to things like Yoshi's recent response to questions about a tome cap increase, but this is too far lmao
The fact that pugs with double-ranged comps are clearing P4S now, just reinforces my point about PF being very stupid when it comes to the obsession with meta composition.
Pull your heads out of your arses, Party Finder. Meta comps will not help you clear faster.
