Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV)

MarkJD

So i finally decided to jump back into FFXIV. Purchased Shadowbringers last night as i didnt want to wait for Endwalker as i wouldnt get access to that expansion until November. I had returned and installed the game back in 2019 after leaving not long after Heavensward came out. Played for a few weeks trying to progress on with the story and some of my classes with Stormblood, got the MSQ and 2 classes up to 70 but ultimately left again as i didnt really have anyone to play with and got bored.

Had been around since FFXIV 1.0 and ARR when it launched and I found it hard to return to the game after being away for so many years. All of my hotbars were completely broken, classes had changed, abilities were gone etc. My friendlist is completely gone and it seems most people stick to themselves or already in a FC so think im gonna have that same issue this time around. Outside of randomly going to FATES or que for Dungeons and Dailys not sure what i should be doing.

PLD and SCH are both currently 70, lots of others are 50 from doing them before. I want to focus on a DPS so iv jumped into RDM and trying to get used to the rotation. Im currently on Diablos but not against changing server if there is a group from here playing together or getting on during Irish Prime time etc as i think thats whats needed really day to day.

RopeDrink you seem to know the most about the game lately. You currently in an End Game FC and sticking to that content or you playing with others here or anything?

So ill be sticking around for the forseeable future.

Easily the best MMO on the market now.

If there was a group of irish playing id love to join in the fun.

An irish FC would be sweet, im on Twintania and leveling some jobs.

Started with machinist got to 70 but not sure its for me so i switched to samurai which is great fun @ lvl 60 but with so many more abilities still to be learned it might get a bit overly complicated.

Ive also got my White mage to 57 and really enjoy it but i swore id leave healing behind for this as ive maned healers in every mmo the past 17 years :(

I joined Free Company on there but its huge and doubt id get to know any of them its just too big so im looking for a smaller FC with a chilled attitude.

Anyone else on Twintania?

Also thinking of jumping back in, I am not going to lie and say the allegations going around on blizzard are stopping me. While terrible if i stopped playing games due to the unethical behavior of company management id play nothing. However you can see that the toxicity has leaked into the game and there was an air of hubris from the dev team that no matter what they put out people would stay subbed.

The realization is that the game is in a terrible state and that combined with the likelihood of shadow-lands being dead and on life support until what ever the next expansion is has meant that its very easy to just drop it and move one. I think that is a major reason why most content developers are moving on.

Like Ropedrink the one thing keeping me in the game was M+ and i don't think thats enough anymore. May as well give this a proper go and finish leveling my char ARR is a slog :(.

Indeed we just lost one of our raids main healers in wow, her partner put it like this. Why play WoW and be forced to run content when she can do what she wants when she wants in FF14.

Well just finished up MSQ to current patch finally and been doing some other random stuff the last few weeks. Been farming some mounts and getting other jobs up to 80 and playing Bojan and similar zones.

Many of you been watching much of the Endwalker media stuff or many of the Yoshida interviews?

MarkJD

Have you finished up the MSQ for EW Rope?
