Playing FF XIV

>Playing FF XIV
>It's a healer won't dps episode

Why is this game filled with retards?

because its babbys first mmo and it holds your hand through everything you do

>It's not my job!
Please tell me more about how we'll never clear any content unless vastly overgeared.

Why do you save pictures of gay men on your computer. OP?

I love hearing this response.

I get the most pissed off about this when doing leveling daily and getting a pre-30 dungeon where the healer is either standing still or casting cure 1.

So basically curing once an encounter and doing nothing else.

I thought most healers in those games were girls or people too lazy to put in effort and just want a glorified chatroom

Healers who don't want to DPS are encouraged by Yoshi himself. When are you guys going to learn that the devs encourage people to play however they want, even if it's suboptimal.

FF XIV is filled with shit healers

Anyone who wants a glorified chatroom could be any class so as long as the player isn't raiding.

In Savage, healers often have the hardest job.

Why would you want to stand around and do literally nothing for 80% of a dungeon?

*shit players
Who are encouraged to be shit by the developers. If you want a game that encourages proper playstyles, you're playing the wrong game.

>FF XIV
>gay porn
>degenerates

Sounds about right. Don't worry Trump will it/you.

It honestly makes no sense. If I'm doing raids the healers never try to dps and then we'll hit enrage. Then they go, "So we need to do more damage" yeah no shit. Or I'm doing dungeons and if everyone is at full health the healer just assumes he cannot contribute to the group any longer.

No one ever seems to see the big picture.

I dont play healers, but if I had to guess its because people are more focused on Netflix/streams/discord instead of the dungeon.

I'd play if there wasn't a fucking sub fee, what the fuck.

...

There's nothing to learn? I don't see what you're saying. A dev is telling people to play like shit? Okay. Doesn't change anything we said.

Stop being poor

>it's a dungeon episode

It means people don't have to give a shit about you guys getting mad they're playing like shit because Yoshi and friends say they're in the right and encourage it.

>Queue as healer
>Do DPS
>Tank(WAR) goes ape mode and when I'm outdpsing him and I'm not "healing enough"
>Tank dies because too busy bitching and not moving away from AoEs
>We clear it without him
>Go tank
>Healer(SCH) doesn't DPS
>Ask him to DPS
>"lol if i want2dps id queue dps lolxd"
>We take forever because our BRD and MCH only press 2 buttons
I don't like the fact tanks are pretty useless in XIV, they are actually required on very limited number of fights to mitigate a large hit.
This.

>Not wanting to pay continously for a game that I'll only play occasionally makes me dumb
Really senpai?

>it's newish content and people arent overgearred yet, tank does bigass pulls and is constantly taking damage, can't keep aggro and the dragoons keep dying
>omg shit healer not even dpsing

>running 2.0 content with literal BIS and no one ever takes damage
>OMG healer stop casting stone wtf your job is to HEAL

you literally can't win with the retards in this game

>Assumptions
So you don't have a point then? Like I said, if the dev tells them to play like shit, it doesn't mean anything other than they're playing like shit.
>But Yoshi said it's okay!
Uh, and?

Started playing again after 1.5 years

How do I git gud as a Paladin?

This is why I don't play online games anymore, I'm tired of everyone being retarded and ruining the game. No matter what type of game it is you can guarantee that someone won't pull their weight.

Probably his boyfriend dropped broke up with him and can't get free sub anymore.

>implying you have to pay continuously to play on occasion
Unless you plan on playing once every three months, I don't see what the problem is.

It's not so much an online game thing as it is a team game thing. People really suck at working together and not being selfish. You'll see this without fail in any game that has several human players on a team.

switch to war

Nigga I ain't reading all that shit, sum it up

f2p would have made the game a whole lot shittier

Bro you don't even need to read it. One glance I saw ERP and a fat guy. What else do you need to know?

I really miss certain games where a single good player would carry the fuck out of its team, now it requires teamwork, communication, etc. Not saying its a bad thing but many love to "play" video games and not put a tad of effort.

I thought that was routine shit for MMOs

Fug I mean, it looks good on paper but doesn't work very well with their consumers with different mindsets.

That's not how you spell WoW user

Why what's wrong with Paladins?

They don't do comparable DPS so apparently they're scrubs.

Honestly the entire fucking playerbase is absurdly toxic. Everything has to be DPS DPS DPS.

Not sure if this applies nowadays but PLD had terrible damage and struggled so much to hold aggro. That, or every single PLD I saw was a piece of garbage.

>it's another complaining about randoms thread
Have you guys tried playing with friends yet?

I wish I had 3 friends to play with

Titan EX is when the real retards come out.

Why not have the healers make up some of that DPS to compensate for Paladin heals?

You know getting upset about it isn't going to do you any favors right?

Nah, most of Cred Forums would be too scared to play with other people because they might not be the highest deeeeps in a group then. They would rather go for low hanging fruit and just trashtalk randoms all day.

Sounds like a personal problem. You should do something about it.

It's not even just Cred Forums. It's Cred Forums, GAF, Redfit, the official forums. Everyone complains about everyone else being shit. Really reminiscent of WAKE UP SHEEPLE

They make every dungeon take an extra 10 minutes

To be fair certain fights require (or used to need) high DPS to beat enrage timers.
I'm not going to deny the same kind of player (at least the ones I've faced) scream out loud "WOWFUGEE" a minimum of 2 times per hour.

Yes sure, they don't like XIV. Probably I should let my sub die since I never "clicked" with anyone in-game.

I don't mean f2p user, I mean no sub fee. I'll pay $60 for the game, but I'm not paying a sub fee. This isn't 2005 anymore.

>Everyone complains about everyone else being shit.

I PuG a lot. Yes it is faster when I go with friends but people rarely fuck up that badly or things go unbearably slow.

After playing Legion I have come to appreciate the XIV community a bit more. WoW normal and heroic dungeons are just filled with insufferable shitheads and Mythic is full of elitist fuckfaces.

They don't actually mitigate more damage than the other options. In terms of unique mitigation PLD has the strongest OH SHIT button that makes them invincible, but with the longest cooldown. They get an extra cooldown that deals with physical damage for ONE attack (which is actually great for physical tank busters) but other than that? RNG blocks, which aren't reliable and only serve to mitigate fluff damage that's no cause for concern in this game. Over long periods PLD do mitigate fluff damage a bit better than DRK and WAR but it's nowhere near enough to allow healers to make up for the 200 - 300~ DPS that PLD lacks in comparison to WAR.

They also only have ONE aoe damage ability that's an off GCD with a 25 second cooldown, making them the lowest aoe damage dealers in the game. They are by far the worst tank to take in aoe encounters, and slow down dungeons a lot due to their lack of aoe damage.

PLD has some neat utility but more often than not though it's either overkill, situational, or just meh.

Might not be the worst idea. I've been in your shoes and if it weren't for the people I play with, I wouldn't be playing this game.q

Or go play with Cred Forums if you like memes and old men.

Yeah, because B2P worked out so well for Guild Wars 2 and Black Desert

XIV isn't all that different. You still get shitheads in every PF group, learning parties especially. The elitism is there as well.

It's all just on a smaller scale.

Hey buddy, /fag/ is over that way --->

I get if someone doesn't understand that they need to be doing damage as well as healing early on. I'd probably give a pass all the way up to the level 50 story dungeon in XIV. At that point in beyond? You should be looking up information about how to most efficiently play your class, look up information about the raid/dungeon beforehand if there is any so as not to be a burden to your team.

>reading about what to do in dungeons before the level cap
kek

>it's another "complain about the person keeping me alive episode"

My, I'm just a lowly Conjurer at the moment, but I at minimum cast Aero and Stone to help with the damage before I begin healing people back up.

I still need to remember to drop Cleric Stance every once in a while, otherwise a whiny baby like you will complain that I'm not 'doing enough'.

Okay, maybe the crowd on Balmung is a little different, but most people there are really mellow if you avoid anything related to /xivg/. Yes, some learning groups disband quickly, but there is usually a grace period of one week where you can have some really good PF people gathering.

If it makes you feel any better, I complain about bad tanks and DPS too.

Worst person I think I ever randomed with was some MNK in Stone Vigil who did no positionals at all. He stood in place while DPSing the whole dungeon.

Isgebind jumped up 5 times. I didn't even know that was possible.

>grace period of one week
Which hardly means anything in the long run

ffxiv has 250k active players

WoW has 5 million active players

The only time I complain about someone in a dungeon is if they're fucking up the run from progressing or it takes an hour.

So basically if the DPS is afk and the tank cannot hold aggro. Otherwise, if it takes 10 minutes more, I find myself having a hard time caring.

If I want sanic speeds I go with friends.

Kinda like how subscription worked for Wildstar and Tera.

If you want me to dps then you're better off lying on the floor, norma

Worst guys I ever queued with... hmm. It'd probably be the time I either had to keep the party alive as LNC with cross class skills (POTD) or the one faggot bard who thought it'd be funny to use phoenix down on the tank instead of the person who can raise, and then proceed to pull aggro and get himself maimed. I didn't revive or cast any buffs on him. No protect, no stoneskin, no cures. Bitch earned a shit game.

Wildstar and Tera's flaws are not connected to the payment model

GW2 and BD's, in part, are

Who's going to win in this fight of the century?

Am I a DPS or a healer? I'm not going to do both.
