Perfectly said, we don't want less content for casuals, just more content period.

Now there are two options, they could have made a lot more content which we know they're slow at, or they could have made current content last longer. But I suspect for many members of this board they spent a week doing heroics, and after that it was all raid gear.

Actually they spent a week doing heroics another week doing raid gear and 24 more weeks snorting pure cocaine.

Seriously though Bliz probably has a ton of content that could possibly be released but it doesn't because there is no threat. Bliz always release content when someone major looks like it's about to come out.

No threat. No content.

It's almost worth coming together as a community and making a really awesome game just to force blizzard to speed it up so we've got more stuff to do in WoW.

Started playing FFXI again and I'm having a blast. The challenge is fucking ludicrous on certain parts of the game for the true hardcores. It has a clunky UI with zero customisation that's true, and there are significant timesinks in it but in general it's a refreshing change from WoW once I've cleared all there is in two nights.

Nothing in your post sounds refreshing at all.

It's challenging and not designed with the lowest common denominator in mind. WoW now has to cater their game towards the retard masses because they represent the money. The sad fact is the hardcore raiders and people who frequent this board are pretty much an afterthought now.

Samflam · 02-20-2009, 07:27 AM

FFXI can kiss my ass. The job system rocks but fuck them for making every second level a pure hellish grind to get money for your spells. I want to play a WHM, and no, I don't want to level a thief or warrior first so I can can switch to them to grind whenever I level.
I swear, I loved grouping up and healing but I fucking dreaded leveling up. I think I hit 30 and then I was forced to be level 1 again on some class I didn't want to play, soloing some bullshit for hours on end just so I could get back to playing what I wanted to again.

While i'd say alot of us still have a hardcore mentality, we would never go back to 8 hour raid nights if WoW required such - face it, the hardcore EQ population has grown up, so has this board.

8 to 12 is enough for me lol

Lately I've had Thursday night and Sunday nights to play and that's it. Still I am completely bored with the lack of content in the game. I still find naxx somewhat entertaining and am gonna fire up an arena 3v3 team this week for the first time since I switched to playing a holy paladin so that might carry some interest for a bit but honestly the snail's pace of adding content to this game is really killing it for me. I'm sure when Ulduar comes out that will be fun for a couple weeks and then we'll get to wait 6 months or more for another content addition. I can see the blizz folks swimming in a giant vault of money Scrooge McDuck style cause they sure aren't spending the millions they are raking in each month on adding content. At this point they should have a few seperate teams developing additional content side by side being overseen by a couple people they trust to put out a flowing and polished product.

FFXI is about the community. Leveling your first job to 75 is a painful experience that requires you to seek out others. This was what I loved about FFXI, everyone relied on everyone else.

Tullaeniel · 02-20-2009, 10:49 AM

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Blizzard has 2-3 content patches or raid zones pretty much finished up and ready to go. That way they can just sit back and wait for either a dip in subscriptions to occur or news of a competing MMO coming up on release so they can go pop the shit like a fucking miracle cure as soon as they feel threatened in anyway and distract everyone long enough to keep them from noticing they are getting fucked.

how many FFXI classes are capable of soloing all the way to 75?

1 or 2?
SMN and BST. Of which both are advanced jobs so they require a class at 30 first hand.

8 - 12 is fine with me, but I'd like it to be more than one night a week.

My guild has actually started running oldschool content just for shits and giggles now, collecting our T1 and T2 sets and random cool pieces of classic gear just because there's absolutely nothing else to do (and because running around dalaran in full Netherwind with a Staff of the Shadow Flame will make me feel like one pimp ass mage).

If I didn't have a guild full of people I love playing with I'd probably have come to the conclusion that 5 hours of content a week isn't worth the monthly fee by now.
