We won’t be all optimistic! This is our listing of issues that basically hassle us about Last Fantasy XIV.
Whereas I do firmly consider that Last Fantasy XIV is at the moment the very best MMORPG available on the market if we have a look at it as an entire bundle — it’s removed from good.
Nitpicks and Different Issues
You possibly can take some issues on this listing with a grain of salt and unhappy makes an attempt to be humorous however there may be all the time room for enchancment is not it? And who is aware of, perhaps this listing can be invalidated in a few months or a yr from now. Traditionally the XIV staff has been fairly on high of the extra urgent points.
Netcode
I believe we are able to all agree that Last Fantasy XIVs internet code is somewhat dangerous. Now it’s a far cry from the catastrophe that it was across the launch of A Realm Reborn and I say that as a European enjoying on North American servers now. As a result of again then, for some motive the EU servers weren’t even situated within the EU within the first place, and if speaking to gamers from again then immediately, they will most likely nonetheless have PTSD from doing Titan Excessive. Or when you ever marvel the place the ‘Lol DRG’ meme got here from, that’s the origin.
In the present day it’s higher however nonetheless not good. We all know that since you’re purported to double weave in between casts and relying on which aspect of the earth you reside that’s unattainable. Sure, they declare to check the sport at 150 ping, however actually, I do not consider them… There are two options to this downside, both shifting into Sq. Enix’s Tokyo HQ basement or enlisting the unlawful assist of a time-altering primal. And that also results in buttons feeling mushy while you use them, however somewhat professional tip right here, you possibly can buffer talents as much as 0.5 seconds earlier than they go off.
Inconsistent UI
This is not even a minor gripe, anybody who has carried out P6S will most likely agree with me that the best way to identify the Cachexia mechanic is simply dumb. Why is that this a debuff that will get assigned to everybody individually? Why cannot you give me a timer over my head and a few indicator for the aspect I will have to face on? It isn’t like you have not carried out this earlier than.
I really feel equally about Warrior’s surging tempest buff. Why is one thing so elemental to the job a small buff among the many relaxation? Particularly when Darkish Knight has the very same factor happening with Darkish Arts however they’ve it proven on their job gauge. Please, Sq. Enix, I encourage you. It isn’t too huge of an ask proper? And whereas we’re at it, could be grand if we might get an really readable indicator in your ping.
Gearing Woes
I do assume the best way gearing in Last Fantasy XIV works is definitely tremendous, as in you have got a reasonably straight path to your upgrades and options when you do not need to do the toughest content material. However rattling is gonna get busy when you need to play multiple Job, when you keep inside one kind it is usually tremendous however when you’re like me flexing between roles feels virtually unattainable a couple of weeks into the tier.
Often, it then goes that gear up your major job, then use the first job to get gear for a secondary job, and so forth and so forth. Certain that’ll not less than make you do the content material on a weekly foundation. There ought to both be a possible solution to get various gear not simply by way of tomestones. I do know secondary gearing normally vastly improves by the point an odd-numbered patch rolls round, however please I might like to modify between Tank and DPS whereas the content material continues to be related and individuals are really progging it.
Housing
You possibly can insert a long-winded rant about there not being sufficient participant housing in FFXIV right here. I get to really complain about it as a result of I occur to play on one of the crucial densely populated servers in the whole recreation. However that is not what I am gonna cry about right here.
No, this part is solely devoted to the ornament system in Last Fantasy XIV. Unsure when you’ve seen the artistic and wacky issues folks give you to customise their furnishings. It’s wonderful and the ingenuity of housing fanatics scares me like I am fairly positive a few of them could be evil masterminds in the event that they weren’t occupied by glitching three gadgets collectively in order that they get an additional pillow on their sofa.
And might be really easy Sq. Enix, please give us a solution to place furnishings on the X, Y, and Z axis and disable your bizarre gravity system. Individuals already break the system and make leaping puzzles within the void exterior of their homes. Simply allow them to have enjoyable with it! Oh and whereas we’re at it when you add out of doors decor to the Island Sanctuaries give us an insane variety of slots. Even a big home backyard is method too restricted in its choices.
Tribes and Typically older Every day Stuff
Here’s a very, very, very particular gripe that drives me up the wall as I lastly come round to complete up the A Realm Reborn Tribal Quests being locked to doing 12 of them day by day is de facto annoying. I simply need to grind out the fame for the achievement. It isn’t like they’ve any rewards for his or her foreign money or that unlocks afterward that’ll have an effect on the financial system.
Prefer it’s tremendous to have the day by day cap for stuff for the present growth, I completely perceive that however for one thing just like the Customized Deliveries older Beast Tribes, or hell even older hunts. Simply let me grind out this content material for the sake of completion that is all I am asking for!
Glamour Dresser
I’ll dodge the bullet right here and chorus from mentioning the World of Warcraft transmog system as a result of actually, I desire the best way XIV does it. On the present cap, when you handle to refill 800 slots of your Glamour Dresser then sorry however you have got a hoarding downside. No, my gripe shouldn’t be with the ability to use a number of the items for different job varieties. I promise when you give those who capacity after they have that different job leveled, far more folks will take into account choosing up and leveling an alternate job only for that.
The rationale why I really need that is additionally very particular. Some jobs in a gear tier have similar-looking gear that’s simply otherwise coloured, however are you conscious that additionally they dye otherwise?! Should you’re actually fortunate the look will get reintroduced later once more with the colours switched however do not make me look ahead to that. On a aspect notice, when you’d make the male model of the Neo-Ishgardian gear set accessible for feminine characters, that will be grand.
The Mentor Crown Does not Imply Something
I do know, haha humorous Mentor. I am all for the unique plan of implementing the Mentor Crown by requiring a Mentor to have all jobs leveled. However apparently, not many individuals try this, at this level the Mentor Burgerking Crown solely serves as a meme, a solution to get a mount and to lord your dangerous opinions over unsuspecting sprouts within the Novice Community (expertise could fluctuate).
Alternatively, Mentor Roulette itself is like enjoying Russian Roulette. Who significantly considered randomly throwing a bunch of gamers into an excessive through which just one individual has cleared it 5 years in the past? I want being a Mentor would really serve a function exterior of being a glorified mount farm…
No Stage Sync in Older Zones
Having Stage Sync for elective quests within the Shadowbringers and Endwalker zones is wonderful. It makes them priceless inside their degree vary and provides you one thing to do whereas ready in your roulette to pop. Why this hasn’t been included in older zones is a thriller to me. As a result of from the get-go you situation gamers to assume these quests are nugatory. However by syncing them up you really get worth out of them for leveling and extra importantly folks really get to expertise them.
Significantly, some sidequest chains are some actual gems that most likely just one% of gamers have really carried out. Until you have got a minion or emote reward on the finish.
This makes up our listing of issues which can be actually kinda annoying in Last Fantasy XIV when you need to keep up to date on every thing associated to the critically acclaimed MMORPG or all issues gaming and esports take into account visiting us right here on ESTNN
