It's almost as if this is the main problem with Heavensward and they did nothing to encourage people to play new content because they're happy with us playing old content for the next few months.but even a novel twist probably would've tied into old content someway, by virtue of their being so much more old content to take advantage of.
Are you behind in that game as well? I had money on you!somebody's busy grinding a different game

Where's your rank.
I'm not doing it. I have 2/80 to my name and that was from cashing in poetics I already had.
There's a difference between saying "it's not that bad" and "i enjoy doing this". I don't really care about what people enjoy or don't enjoy, but my objection comes in when people try to say that the grind isn't bad. It's bad. It's insulting. It's another terrible step in a series of terrible steps since they released Heavensward. It feels like every time they try to make something good they find a way to shit the bed in the same breath.
The atma and dungeon part of this relic bit is actually pretty good. It's a medium amount of work for a modest reward of a nice 200 weapon that glows. The next step is straight up insulting, and I'm one of those assholes that did every step of the 2.0 relic grind as soon as it went live.
Again, it's fine that people are doing it. I'll probably end up doing it as well eventually pre-nerfs. It's just so transparent to me how this step is made to be hit with the nerf bat and the recycling of old content and tomes that are basically fossils and old beast tribe quests is all just incredibly disgusting to me. For chrissakes some of the best ways to do this grind is to do ARR Content like ARR Hunts and ARR Beast Tribe Quests.
I did that shit already. I'm tired of it. I don't want to do another sylph daily. I don't want to do another sahagin daily. I did my time and I got them all to max rank. I'm tired of hunt trains through areas and the bullshit it brings with it. I barely want to grind Esoterics let alone Poetics. We still have value on poetics. Even if you don't mind the grind, even if you're doing the grind, there's no way I can understand people saying that this kind of content grind is okay. This isn't even directed at you, but at literally everyone who is saying "eh, it's not that bad."
It's bland and it's not fun and for me it's all content I've already beaten to death and back. Bard bow is also BiS or close enough but I cannot be arsed to jump through this hoop again the way I used to.
How close am I to finishing the main campaign, so I can begin HW? I just defeated Ramuh.
I guess if I already have the windows version of the game, I can't use another windows key for the game to get subscription time?
And yet none of you actually have the courage to tell Squenix what you think with your wallets and unsub, at least for a month or two until they get the message that this kind of shit is not okay in a sub MMO
And yet none of you actually have the courage to tell Squenix what you think with your wallets and unsub, at least for a month or two until they get the message that this kind of shit is not okay in a sub MMO. It's hilarious that FFXIV has worse grinds, worse UI, and worse cash shop nonsense than a lot of F2P MMOs I've played which don't even make you pay a monthly sub to play the game. FFXIV is the first sub MMO I've ever played which also charges you a monthly fee to expand your inventory, all the F2P MMOs charge you a single one-time fee for inventory expansion. And none of the F2P MMOs which implement housing force you to pay them money every 45 days to keep your house, I don't even know who Squenix thinks they are fooling here. I don't have nearly enough Stockholm Syndrome to think that the housing demolition isn't anything less than a blatant attempt to retain as many subs as possible from homeowners instead of just you know offering more housing or instancing it like every non-terrible themepark MMO ever.

Soon. (TM)
In all honesty, just mention something in game about having the poetics bonus, and you're certain to be kidnapped. XD
PS: Did a bit of Coil last night for this reason, and I'm shocked by how much of those fights I've forgotten! Half a year of not really touching them will do that I suppose. XD
You know the Void Ark tank armor wouldn't look half bad if it weren't for that stupid skirt.
The next patch should remove them, yoship pls.They've just got a bad habit in general of putting extra skirts on all higher level tank armor.
Be very careful, there is a "cancel my service account" button on mog station that is basically a "delete my account" button. You just want to use "cancel subscription", which will just stop your account from auto-renewing.I never found out the answer to this. If I cancelled my service account with sub days left over tonight, could I reactivate and continue where I left off, later on? (As in, without paying for another sub)
The person complaining most vehemently isn't playing the game anymore, and hasn't been for a while. Unknown Soldier has moved on to Blade and Soul, and back when he played FF14 he would lounge around in a skimpy outfit as a catgirl. So honestly, it's pretty obvious what aspects of the games he really cares about.People complaining about aspects of the game they dislike is a sign they still care about it. When I unsubbed for a whole patch cycle during 2.3 I didn't care anymore, I just didn't want this game to be part of my life.
Oh man, if this actually happened it would be hilarious. No lifers ruining it for everyone.Well it looks like there's maintenance later today. Gotta make that relic quest longer in response to people clearing it already lol.

So, do you only get more then 3 Vanu Beast Tribe quests a day if you rank up? I was hoping you would get a lot available daily as your rank increased like the Ixal, should've known they wouldn't be so kind.
That's a lengthy grind I'm too afraid to start. It doesn't sound all that fun. Do you get good MGP out of it?And Triple Triad card collecting.

I assume you're asking about the "cancel subscription" part? I let my subscription lapse earlier this month - when you cancel your subscription you can still play until your month is up. As your month is running out, the login screen will say "you have 5 days left" "you have 3 days left" etc, and then when your time is up you just can't log in anymore.Is that how it actually works? It says you can reactivate it later on. That's why I wasn't sure if my sub days would carry over were I to do it.
On the day you rank up with Vanu, you can accept an additional 3 quests, so on some days you can end up doing more than 3.It takes the same amount of time to rank up as it did with the ixal but with less quests needed per day. That sounds extremely kind to me.
Edit: And no, it's only 3 quests per day the entire way through.
Well that's unnecessary!Edit: And no, it's only 3 quests per day the entire way through.

They should increase the limit on the Vanu Quest or at least removed the limit on the 2.0 Tribe Quests and increase the Daily Limit above 12.

Having just 3 quests every day is way better anyway, aside from the day you rank up and you get to do 3 more.You already rank them up faster than the other tribes with just the three quests (well, before they increased the limit, not sure about after but still probably true). If they let you do more, they'd just make you need more rep to rank up, and that'd be worse.
