This game have rated arena's?

>>1686448 it barely has pvp to begin with my guy

>>1686492 Gay

>>1686448 There's a rank pvp mode called crystal conflict, it's a a 5v5.

>>1356454 I have nothing of value to add, I just wanted to say that her tits are nice.

>>1686448 As pointed out by >>1686619 there IS ranked PvP but it's a 5v5 mode where you can only speak in quick chat phrases (unless a custom match), and it's a clone of TF2 payload where you have to push the crystal into the opponent's goal to win (or run the clock out with your team making the most progress), and some maps have hazard gimmicks.

>>1356454 Speak with Wuk Lamat.

>>1687829 I'd rather not.

My dragooners eye is gone

I checked the news, Mare really is kill. GOOD!

>>1690210 doesn't really make a difference, the official support and people making money off of it through patreon is gone, but people still use it

>>1356454 Does she mainline steroids directly into her neck?

>>1965453 Nah the models in FF14 just kind of look like that facewise. Dawntrail also changed the facial and body rigs a fair bit and that caused modders some headaches in adjusting such I'm sure. Speaking of that and the prior discussion in this thread before you bumped it. Seems Yoshi-P finally started breaking the emergency glasses, they're removing all class locks when it comes to glamouring gear, something he's been hard set on not doing for over a decade, using claims of class identity and maintaining theme. Clearly this is being done as a panic response to the rapid player decline and to try and win back some of the modders and RPers who left when Mare got banned and the related response to such. Also a lot of talk about the next expansion being "the second rebirth of the game", bunch of hot air if you ask me.

>>1965700 >"the second rebirth of the game" was there any online game that said that and actually delivered? > they're removing all class locks when it comes to glamouring gear, something he's been hard set on not doing for over a decade, using claims of class identity and maintaining theme. I mean, this was already broken a while ago when you could use bikinis and modern clothes on all classes, there has been no class identity clothes-wise since shadowbringers at least.

>>1965884 >was there any online game that said that and actually delivered? Yeah XIV. >>1965700 The second ARR wont be next expansion, not unless they have been working on this for years.

>>1966020 >Yeah XIV. no, i mean the second time, various games launch in a broken state and find a way to get back on their feet, never saw it happening twice on the game game tho.

>>1966053 >on the game game on the SAME game*

>>1966053 that's really beside the point Yoshi-P is a manager, he is not a creative, he showed that he works best as a crisis-management producer rather than a director when he set out to make Vagrant Story 2 and ended up with whatever the fuck FFXVI is. Oda was in charge of the story and worldbuilding, he hasn't been there since Shitterbringers, and whoever was keeping some semblance of flavour and fun in XIV up to Stormblood clearly has left, and whatever was left of his work got shoveled out little by little until now there's no trace of it left. Anything that is fun or satisfying has to get steamrolled, homogenized and sacrificed at the altar of """QoL""" , you simply cannot have a game that stays reasonably challenging and fun to play if you're designing it around geriatrics who can play 30 minutes a week and want to be able to experience all of the content anyway- a philosophy that somehow got transplanted directly into the next single player mainline Final Fantasy. Rambling a bit, the point is there's no one at Creative Unit whateverthefuck who has the vision and know-how to put together a fun game. Best they got is spread, stack, look away, maybe cardinals if they're feeling daring. It's very much like the Kojima situation, there were some unnamed heroes on that team who kept Kojima's westaboo retardation in check and delivered games that are actually fun to play and engaging. Remove Kojima from that team, and you get 40h of fellating Hollywood actors with no substance and the level of geopolitical analysis of a 10 year old who just heard John Lennon's Imagine for the first time, wrapped in a tryhard Lynchian package.

>>1966135 >Rambling a bit please anon, don't undersell yourself. You're going full on schizo.

>>1966166 I understand that's what it must look like for 3rd worlders when they see people communicate using words exceeding 4 syllables, but that is just a bit of a ramble, I assure you.

>>1966166 That ain't schizo. You want schizo go take a look at our /b/ board, it's currently getting swiss cheesed by some schizophrenic femcel making a dozen posts on how men suck. The guy's just making a very valid series of points on how Yoshi-P is shit. >>1965884 >I mean, this was already broken a while ago when you could use bikinis and modern clothes on all classes. Preaching to the choir with that one, we all know, YoshiP was just dead-set on not letting up on glamour restrictions despite the plot clearly being lost ages ago. I bet he would've taken the game to the grave with those restrictions intact if he could, but the game's in some pretty dire straits at the moment. As for his empty promises, I think it's just bluster. There's no way the team would have the balls needed to properly course-correct and make the game fun again for fear of scaring off too many "casual" players. An ironic fear for sure as going back to the older slower combat would be a net improvement even for casual players, and having more class depth would make all content more enjoyable. They aren't going to fix the fucked up face meshes either, so I have little reason to come back after they botched lalafell faces.

>>1966965 Popoto girls are just perfect.

>>1966965 >>1967111 I want to mash those potatoes.

>>1966965 to be honest, I don't even think he's shit, I just think he's being forced into roles that he's just not good at Square has been trying to do the Kojima/Miyazaki/Metzen cult of personality thing with its directors, it's why FFVII:R and R2, despite being directed by Toriyama(XIII) have Nomura's name on the cover. Nomura was directing 3 KH games at the same time while VII:R was in development, and the only thing he's ever said about it was something like "I just want it to be done", in an interview where he didn't show his face. They want to be able to put "Directed by Yoshi-P" on total garbage and have it sell anyway, and that's just not working out. Genuinely, XIV's rebirth was impressive. Not as impressive as people make it out to be, it's a Final Fantasy MMO, people want it to succeed and the market was already pretty dry back then- but was still impressive from a production pov.

>>1356494 [redacted] got me into FFXIV this week and my first look into the general was truly horrific. Pretty much all the posts were erps from literal troons.

>>1967291 you think getting fisted by a lalafell would be akin more to being fingered? like imagine Krille trying to stuff your nutsack inside her puffy pussylips.

>>1974607 Everything alright buddy?

>>1967111 >>1967291 >I'uve peanut butter sanwich an gill chees its a goblin with down syndrome

>Y'shtola in the next patch preview >No Wuk in sight XIV is healing.

>>1975476 >paid money for dawntrail >even paid for the preorder mount >Ended that week with a illness and didn't pick it up >drama about wuk made it even worse Why was she pushed so much? It makes no sense.

>>1975652 Not sure but she was definitely annoying, thank God I only play with JP dub.

>>1975652 Spheens the only good thing to come out of Dawntrail and its not even close. And the only reason why shes good is because of the very tasteful, very cool booty shorts and stocking combo which is way too powerful. I looked forward to the Wuk before release but ultimately I was not prepared for the Wuk. Anyone who didn't preorder wuck'd out.

>>1975672 Yeah I thought I could just ignore it because i lay the jp dub But holy fuck does she not shut the fuck up. >>1975730 I don't feel it, guess I just miss scions and that dumb bimbo lyse

>>1975783 Scions were well written even if not at first and built up over a long time. I don't even remember having any annoyances with Lyse in Stormblood. I tolerate her because I want to fuck her, but she never had grating moments and certainly didn't budge into our fight with Zenos. One of my biggest gripes with Dawntrail is how Alisae and Alphinaud's sibling dynamics which were extremely similar to Wuk and Koana was just completely fucking ignored in favor of more Wuk dialogue because nobody else mattered (it was all about Wuk of course.) Lyse wasnt even close to having the forced presence that Wuk did. It's like Wuk was a bogstandard fanfiction self-insert. Always have to be involved in every conversation and if a conversation isn't involving her it is always about her. Every time I'm reminded of this shitty expansion I think of "what ifs" and come up with a thousand different ways the plot alone could have been better, or even just more tolerable and half of it is effectively nuking Wuk's linecount.

>>1975730 >Spheens the only good thing to come out of Dawntrail You forgot about Shale.
