PATH OF EXILE 1 DAY

I'm pretty sure original dev team for ff14 had people who created ff11 though I know that the original producer and director did at least The real problem was that they were stuck in the past thinking that they could do the same stuff they did in XI and not catching up with the times it was until Yoshi P came along and took the reins that they the game began to be a little enjoyable even in 1.0. Noclip did a really good video series on how the development team reacted to the failure and rise.

I AM GLAD YOU ASKED HUMBLE PERSON! Yes indeed FFXIV also know Final Fantasy: XIV Online is indeed a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online role play game) The current specs are really basic and anyone can play the game with a regular laptop truly a revolution in the gaming age I highly recommend it fellow gamers! The tragedies of the Calamity are not so easily forgotten....

I've been forcing myself to play Final Fantasy XIV recently, because a fair few of the people I hang around online are playing it and I want to get in on that. Unfortunately they're all max level and unfortunately the leveling process of this game is the worst I've ever experienced in any MMO and I've played quite a few. I very much belong to the more casual side of the MMO audience, in the sense that I got my first taste of the genre with World of Warcraft and never got to experience the much more unforgiving games of the past. Since World of Warcraft, I have tangled with a multitude of different MMO's for various periods of time. Aion, Warhammer Online, Guild Wars 1 & 2, RIFT, The Old Republic, Tera and Wildstar. Out of all of those, I've never been as frustrated leveling my character as I have been in FFXIV. It seems that in a bid to force variety upon the player, the developers of FFXIV decided to just not put enough quests into the game to actually reach max level. On top of that, the "Main Scenario Quest", which is a long-running quest that moves the story of the game and your character along, is level-gated, meaning that you could be going through it and then suddenly hit a brick wall because you're not a high enough level to accept the next part of the MSQ. So what are the alternatives? A pitiful amount of sidequests that past level 35 won't even be enough experience to push you through the MSQ. A world-quest type system called "Fates" which spawn on the map for a set period of time that unfortunately suffer from being very inefficient to do, because half of them are painfully slow to complete without other players actively helping you out. Dungeons, which will give you a very nice bonus experience ONCE per 24-hours and otherwise are alright for experience gain, but are very boring to spam continuously. Finally you have a unique leveling system called "Palace of the Dead", which is extremely powerful for experience gain theoretically, but unfortunately you have to clear it in 10-floor increments at a time and if your party wipes at any point, all progress is lost and 0 experience is gained. On paper, I realize that it might not sound so bad, but once you hit level 45+ it starts to become truly fucking tedious and my enjoyment of the game has been very rapidly declining, to the point where I am technically only a few steps away from being able to move into the next part of the game, but I am demotivated to log on to my character, because I know that the only way forward is by subjecting myself to extreme boredom.

can we all just go back to the need for speek wiki forums?
