!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

FF14 has an insane amount of filler in every quest. Sooooo many times you need to travel to whole different area just to have some completely inconsequential chat with an npc or they break a simple task into 10 steps with a long ass cast time that doesn't show your character doing anything. I will say the story is (after a while) quite good.

"Pray return to the waking sands" PTSD intensifies

At least they give new players aetheryte tickets to teleport directly to the waking sands now. No more teleporting to Horizon and taking public transit like some kind of peasant.

It's just so much clicking. Go here click this guy click that guy.

It's not that bad of you stay current at all times, you can do a bit of story here and there, its released in chunks outside of the large expansions.

But if you take a break for a year. Fuck me. It's just never ending. I just want to raid...

Yeah, the barrier for entry for new players is insane too. This guy once bought the game and he is like "Gonna rush through the story so lets play some dungeons next week", yeahhh.... nah, you are gonna play with us in a month maybe more. Also, you posted this comment twice, might wanna delete the other.
