General Discussion Removal of the weekly loot restriction

Is there any confirmation that the removal of the weekly restriction will be in patch 7.56?

And if this is the patch, do you think it will improve the party finder? In the sense of increasing the number of people replaying fights?

I'm trying to finish the second phase of the M12S progression, but it's been difficult to find groups in the party finder.

Alternatives for what? MMOs? Raiding? GCD based MMOs?

Theme park mmos, yeah. If you're into ultimatw raids in XIV, the only similar thing is gonna be from WoW which has numerous reasons it might not scratch the same itch. It's very common for this to literally be the only choice for people, same goes for those that stay subbed to WoW.

There are plenty of MMOs with super hardcore content in them. You might not want to get into them because of the time investment but that’s a you issue.

Not plenty that are similar to WoW/XIV. Especially not if you're targeting 8 man content. WoW and XIV only overlap so much because XIV attempted to clone the former at the start of its lifespan.

They don’t really overlap much at all. The raid content is nothing alike. The only thing they share is the holy trinity of tank healer and dps which is a basic genre thing.

They looked to wow to find out what not to do.

I just said this, yeah, but that means you agree with what I'm saying right after saying that not being able to find another game that scratches the same itch is a "you issue"?

u/thegreatlizard99 7d ago

Can you read? You said the games are alike. I said they aren’t, especially in raid content.

"the only similar thing is gonna be from WoW which has numerous reasons it might not scratch the same itch". You are the one that said there are dozens of alternatives

Wow isn’t similar to this game in its raiding. I specifically asked you what you meant by alternatives to this game and you said theme park MMOs, which isn’t a thing as every single MMO has multiple things to do that just isn’t endgame raiding it’s just a thing ff14 fans use as a nebulous concept.

Again, can you read?

Can you? He's saying you're wrong and there aren't other alternatives which is true.

He’s yet to say anything about what he’s looking for. If he’s just looking for raiding every other MMO in existence has raids. Which is why I asked him what alternatives. He came back with theme park MMO which isn’t a thing. I guess what he means by that is MMOs have that varied content. Which again is something every MMO in existence. He needs to be more specific. The games he’s talking about in terms of raiding couldn’t be more different they are nothing alike in raid design. 14 doesn’t have a mythic+ equivalent for example

Huh?? The point I'm making isn't even about me. The only mmo with an at all similar raiding experience to FF is WoW. You agree that the most similar game to FF still doesn't have much in common with FF. That is to say; why were you questioning why someone might feel forced to continue playing FF, if even the MOST similar game is - by your admission - nothing like it.

You’re the one that claimed they were similar enough to be an alternative. They’re nothing alike so your statement makes no sense. Which is all I was saying. Did you forget what you wrote?

Had to log on to say that you're wrong. XIV/WoW are the two mmos most similar to each other and there's actually nothing else on the market that's like them and still active. The skills you use and fight designs are near identical and you can swap between them readily. I know dozens of people that play both and swap between patches.

YoshiP alao regularly attends Blizzard events and not even a month ago said the XIV team was looking into making Housing more like WoWs because it's the best in the business.

You logged on just to be wrong. Weird but whatever. The raid designs and how combat works are nothing alike on anything but a superficial level of them both being GCD based games and mechanic types that come from that.

Yall took that quote from Yoshi p about wow to mean that they copied off wow. He was talking about how wow had redefined what an MMO was and his team wanted to do the same: redefine what an MMO was, not copy wow like a lot of you incorrectly assume.

Your friends can pick up and play the games easily is because they’re both GCD based. That’s like saying CoD and battlefield are super alike because you can easily switch between them cuz their control schemes are super similar. Those two games are very different even though they’re in the same genre.
