diveblonde: Forked Tower shouldn't be such a pain to get into, all the other complaints are skill issues and rose colored glasses tbh

StancedSquirrel: Asking FFXIV players to have friends is a really tall ask, Baldo.

liquidefreet: I don't believe that guy getting gm jailed for being bad during CEs. There's constantly piles upon piles of bodies during CEs it's part of the gig how do you even single out one dude out of like 50 people when you have 20 of them on the ground lmao.

F_N_Inquisitor: 'i hate OC but enjoyed both Bozja and Eureka'

Never heard a bigger lie in my life.

This literally happened with Eureka; everyone hated it, Bozja came out everyone hates that but now says they loved Eureka, now OC is out and they hate it while pretending they loved Bozja and Eureka.

sleepfishl: You don't have to farm at an optimal level? ... Sorry to disappoint you ... But gaming communities these days just see "optimal or nothing". People are so stuck in the entire min-max BS that they refuse to think about anything else.

AlvinY4kitori: Sounds like a hair issue tbh

scullzomben: > Doesn't want to read a meme post.

Good one Baldo

MrXxsnipesXx: i do wish forked tower was a bit more noob friendly (like for myself) but it is what it is, just dont like the idea of there being dedicated discords to running it, like i just wanna be able to casually queue into it and then run it, kinda like how DR was back in the bozja days.

chesssean: Ffxiv players are never happy

Zendreck: I wonder if that's the person we reported the other day. They would do like 10 seconds of dps. Stand in the first aoe to die, then not accept multiple resses until the last 14 seconds of the fight.

yarredpel9779: The CE are fun, the zone looks nice, Phantom jobs are cool, the fates are scaled like dogshit, the Relic weapons are tomes... which was such a banger in endwalker, and the Forked Tower is just designed to say fuck you to the playerbase.

nerastavares7607: A week after the new patch and content, that was quick

kirifps: They just need to make forked tower its own instance, casuals would be able to join prog pfs, and hardcore players wouldn’t have to spend hours instance sniping. It’s crazy that it just came out and it’s already dead content basically, never seen a FT pug even start

Talynn_Black: Forked Tower shouldn't have been the Baldesion style, Delubrum was absolutely amazing for setup, everything else is standard issue ffxivdiscussion armchair dev.

hypersleep9336: oh man leave it to ffxiv players to disregard any criticism as blind hate we muuust consume everything SE gives us even if the quality is lacking

dbzfanexwarbrady: getting into the tower is ass , thats my current opinion 4 mastered Phantom jobs in

nise512: yeah this happens with every field op, give it 5 years people will say they love it

throwaway5012: Streamer getting carried to earn XP during a gold farm telling you all to have friends comes across as pretty rank.

SinisterPlauges: The longer I play 14 the more I realize there is a portion of the fanbase that will complain no matter what. You could give them exactly what they want and they will still cry about it. Been playing since 2020 and nothing but back and forth complaints from the community no matter what you give them lol

immo_bility: You know Xeno would have read all of it if the title of the post was "Why DRK is very good"

Tezasaurus: I like the Phantom Jobs but I wish when you mastered a job it allowed you to equip one or two of the abilities while you levelled a different one. One thing I really liked about the Lost Actions system in Bozja was you actually felt like you were making a custom build with only stuff that you cared about having or worked well together. If we could pick two Phantom Jobs it would be a lot more interesting.

I also think they should have not given us mounts right away. Teleport crystals right off the bat is great but it would've been cooler to actually have to make my way to them on foot and have some risk at the beginning. It was just a little

LS-mb4my: "You get stupid exp when gold farming"

I wouldn't know, because everyone was a cannoneer at max level when gold farming.

ShirleyTanuki: I read this earlier and honestly it's all true lol. I wouldn't say "mad" just disappointed.

INeosIRex: ´"gil economy in eureka/bozja does not matter (because its old)" must be the most moronic take i have heared from xeno up until now. I usually agree with a lot of his opinions but that one is just absolutly dumb.

Simply put, because its old content you need a reason to play this content, which is almost always rewards. But if those rewards are easily optainable through alternative means, players will be insentivised to just skip the content all together. And this is true regardless of if they do it for the first time or just come back to grind a little for gil (even if gil is not really valuable compared to other mmo).

Actually Xeno is right as long as you add "because I don't care if old content dies out" to the statement.

FalakIll: A lot of these sounds like "I played the other two when they were complete and I'm gonna compare 1/3 of this to all of those"

MrJesuisOMG: Forked Tower is an absolute miss. The raid seems *AMAZING*, but the whole blockage of entry is awful. I would love to just get a handful of friends and hop in, but no, I cannot. Not only have to wait until a certain weather, but also it's a content that there's not enough activity outside of the premades made by Discord groups. And that's horrible. I should not have to join a Discord to be able to do a content in game, and then play with 47 randoms because getting my own friends to it? Hard to do so. Even more hard to do so when your friends are hyped to try Tower, but are not often PvE players, so the whole principle of joining something like this instead of playing with their group of friends, push them away. It's vastly frustrating, they shouldn't have followed Eureka by the book as design, Eureka WAS NOT GOOD DESIGN. Bozja had improvements, get the best of both worlds and make OC. Instead they just got everything from Eureka, even the bad parts.

Also, kinda sucks that PF for Gold Farming HAS BEEN forcing 6 Tanks and 2 Healers. Period. If you get friends, just yolo it, it will work regardless, it's not that overwhelming. But PF? Yeah, they do not like people having fun. PF never likes people having fun. There's a point I do not like, that CEs do not reward the player for not taking hits like Bozja used to with Duels. It genuine rewards turtle tanking because you just can not give a shit and eat 8 vuln stacks. Trust me, you'll live.
