kentak5748: It is a good step, but I still think a normal version in the first place would be better
Ncik77: As a player who has played since 2013, but most of my friends have quit, this doesn't help me finding a way into Forked Tower still. It just helps the discord alliance crowd.
bluezhift: tbh, the most interesting thing this tells me is that they were very likely seeing large JP player drop offs due to this issue. if they stuck to their original plan, OC would have been deserted by August and even more players unsubbed, perhaps never to return.
Highlandwhispers: The content is still likely to remain unengaged with by the vast majority of players. Though this does show one thing: they’re panicking.
danmarshall4812: No normal mode, no direct queue system... an improvement but still not enough. Will stay unsubbed for now.
decenoxus: I agree! This type of news is definitely an eyebrow raised and a tentative nod in approval (at least for taking on SOME sort of actual action) from myself. Taking a bit of a risk and trying to push out a change like this as quickly as they are trying to aim for is extremely uncommon, and hopefully a good sign of critical feedback taken to heart instead left on the forums.
Sev-j3: This is good step I agree. But the road is long for this game to recover in my eyes.
VizerPS: i wonder how much these changes cost
mattfletcher2270: Before i watch this, I'm really hoping for a normal version of forked tower & reasonable access to both versions of it.
If not, my sub runs out Friday & it'll stay that way until 7.3 or 7.4
I'm betting that I'm asking for too much... Sadly.
GaryTaro45: Well, this is still nothing to me, I don't have time 24/7 monitoring discord to see any group that is available and match my schedule / progress... tbh, I just stop playing ff14 for a week now and just have my gw2 to level 80 :P
ArtoriaWisteria: This honestly gives me some hope again around the game in general, havent played in a few weeks between the "cost" comment being super demotivating and dealing with a hand injury, this kinda makes me want to try to get on and play a bit now :)
Pikaru-c4u: This is giving me desperate. They know the ff14 run is over
Rwmcnair: I’m more casual player. So ocult crescent not my thing. I’ll check back with 14 in next 6-12 months. I know the kind of changes I want to the job system will take time.
Zerokunz: They really need to stop implementing content that other people can drag you down that aren't even a part of your group.
Like say you're farming mobs for gold grind or whatever. We had someone come and rally up all the ink dudes on top of us and kill them all and break our chain while we were using them for exp grind. This also hurt a light grind party I had back in Pagos or whatever where we were grinding dragons.
And honestly the punishment for failing forked tower are so archaic and unfriendly to those who want to learn since if you wipe you have to spend an hour or so getting back the exp you lost, and for what? What does this add to the experience?
I really wanted to do forked tower but its been so long since the content has been implemented that I no longer care.
Belophen: even wuk lamat is SHOOK on the thumbnail
rodimus580: Easier access for discord parties!!!
fayt7708: I care for ff14 and such, but to heck with this news and even if trying to keep videos "on point", its SOOOO nice seeing you so upbeat. Heres to hoping the update does what it needs to also.
lanceroflunar6719: ive lost faith in SE. i dont believe that they can change course till 8.0 and even then it might be to late. maybe we will only really see big changes till 9.0. but who of us will still be playing the game by then.
gta6 is soong going to come out. riots own mmo is supposed to laucnh arround 2030/early in the 2030 decade according to as of now a single dev (not an official statement of riot). unless ff14 can make the u turn and actually invest into the game it will die off slowly but suerly
bloodyDeagle77: This is what happened btw. They saw the replies on reddit and twitter about the new glam - panic. People are outraged = release half of 7.3 updates a month early. I guarantee you bro. And people argue with me when I say they can do this easily and it is just that easy to put in and just code. Reddit suck ups btfo'd once again. Feelsgood.
TheKarishi: So, uh...What's the route for people playing on console to experience Forked Tower?
Because it seems like your take on it is that using the system as it's designed/intended and just playing the game from within the game will render me a "portal-sniping little shit."
I don't lay all the blame for that toxicity at your feet, of course; the mix of a random-queue system with a dungeon that calls for lots of communication (eventually less communication, when familiarity with the content can take over, but when things start people have to talk it through if they want a clear) was always going to mean that people would want a way to go in with a well-oiled machine of a team - a personal crew
Catzillator: thanks for the update man
joshuacain4393: Still no normal version smh...
Good vid man keep em coming
MrJammers: Face reveal, cute
GarnetDust24: Thank you cvnty wuk lamat
nama8978: It's a shame I have to stop watching you cuz you associate with bigots.
