There is a phobia for almost everything.... seems sorta pointless. How about fear of spiders, snakes, deep water and heights. Or the dreaded fear of the color green, Prasinophobia.
I exect them to immediately address those as well....
But…
There are games that call themselves mmos that are doing extremely well. The genre is not really dead. But if you look at the elements that made a mmo traditionally a mmo that is very much dead right now.
Games like FFXIV are thriving right now,…
Ffxiv is simply the best themepark out there right now with a dev team that trully knows thier target playerbase. (Casual mmo players)
Now combine ffxiv catering to players and constant positive improvements, with blizzard continously releasing s…
Cannot build those until the core systems are working.
Aka the actual server stability and such. Until recently the servers had to be hard reset every so often to prevent unplayable lag. Was just fixed before this last test.
They are simply not at…

They will still be easy, but they at least have real mechanics later on and are more fun due to that.
Some dungeons you w…
He actually seems to be enjoying his time in ffxiv so far. And considering he is in the worst part of the game I am interested to see how he feels about it when he actually gets his whole tool kit of abilities for his jobs, the dungeons/instances an…
Another example of could of been good but killed with a stupid decisions.
Has a sub cost... no you cannot really play it f2p it is too restrictive. This is good, as long as there is no p2w... yea.....
The battle pass is stupid expensive. Gives goo…

Oh, this again.
*goes back to playing FFXIV*
I did that too, but then i beat all the content that has any progression for the week in 4hrs.....
Shit now nothing to do again.
PPL who feel ffxiv is how…
At this point people claiming the game to be a scam is just laugable. They have shown they actually have something and people are freely able to talk about the games state problems and all due to the nda release.
I agree that selling cosmetics pre …
People put way to much focus on story in mmos. It is one of the least important factors. A 1 and done thing in a game that is suppost to be endless.
Too many mmos are becoming solo focused or co-op which is NOT what a mmo is about.
A mmorpg is a m…
Any item that gives any player an advantage is p2w. That simple. Game studios do not get to define p2w period. Would be like the coal industry saying they are good for the environment.... all marketing bs.
Also players should have NO SAY in add…
In archeage you had to whale or you were simply trash tier. He had money and liked the game, outside the p2w, so he whaled. I cannot fault him for that at all. I also spent 2xs the money i spent in ffxiv since 1.0 launch in the 2yrs i played AA seri…
It is unprofessional as the head of a rival studio, but honestly calling out agressive cashshops and p2w tactics I fully support. And yes ANY boost no matter how minor is p2w and is a major negative.
P2W is a cancer to this genre and should not be …
My suggestion look at early ffxi. Crafting items were equal in power to endgame boss drops. Better in some cases.
Bosses dropped rare mats for crafting. It tied crafting into all tiers of the game. Begining, mid, entree endgame, and late endgame. …

Same old new art job,a real lack of effort bringing nothing to the genre and NOT even trying to improve a very lacklustre genre.
Does some of the art look real good,yes but art alone doesn't make a game or define a genre.

Really curious to what changes 6.0 will have. If it will be 'groundbreaking' and all that. They will change the main story scenario, but is it just 'more of the same' or really different?
I would not expect anything major to…
Character Levels are a backbone of the RPG genre as a whole.
Would be like saying I hate guns lets remove them from the next call of duty and do all hand to hand combat instead. Just not genre fitting.
Now for death of mmos. This is not on…
I do not really see the issue with backers getting alpha access. Technically the alpha access is free when you add up the sub time, and items obtained with the package. They are not just selling alpha for that much.
And most alpha testers expect a …
Depends on the video game.
I am not the best person at fast action games like FPS and the like. Not that good at fighting games or MOBAs either but probably mainly because I never got into those genres much at all. Did like Borderlands and De…
