Server Merge For The People!

I use my mog garden to change jobs since you have your own personal porter moogle in there it's more convenient.

Haven't use it for actual gardening in months though.

Worst effort v reward system? pfft... Voidwatch says hi lol

Pardon me a bad meme, but...

"Bro, did you even CoP?"

Voidwatch has nothing on Sea.

Nothing.

Voidwatch is random, sure, but it was easy-peasy and you at least got a decent hunk of gil from NPC'able trash and a metric ***-ton of exp/merits. Especially useful to this day for the purpose of merit-needing BCs.

Sea was lots of time spent running around actually doing nothing for little reward and usually a loss of experience when you inevitably died to some mob's *** TP move.

What would be better than a server merger is a total upgraded UI that updates the freaking graphics but they won't do that because people for some odd reason still play on playstation 2.

It would take way more than dropping PS2 support, like it would cost more than making a whole new game.

A server merge wouldn't solve anything either.

PS2 is still mainly used in Japan to play ia why.

Problem with gettign them to do a server merge is they are looking at peak times what are jp prime times for server counts. For instance on my server during jp primetime the count can still hit double or triple na primetimes/ You also then have all the dual boxers and 24/7 afk mules throwing off the counts even more.

Well, since we have been paying and playing for years it would be a very nice gesture even though we know money drives business and they won't use the money we have given them and put it back into the game.

You mean actually give the people who make them money what they want, and make even more money while doing it, just not potentially as much as a riskier project?

no, why would they do such a thing.

I mean if the PS3 FF7 HD trailer, and the PS4 rerelease isn't a cue that they don't give a *** about their fans, just look at XIII, and what they're doing to XV. The only fanservice I've seen of theirs of late is in XIV (and I don't mean plot).

Yes, I did CoP. Completed it well before 75 lvl cap raise. For me though, CoP had its reward waiting at the end (Rajas ring), all I had to do was complete the expansion. In terms of farming sea for AV pops, Torque drops etc... I don't think it was too terribly bad. VW on the other hand, upon its release was a horrendous effort/reward ratio experience. Killing Akvan 300 times before a hekas dropped vs- the guy who hopped in a PUG for his 1st VW experience ever , who has no mage job, low and behold ... Hekas in the chest. Yeah, VW sucked, it was a farm grind everyone detested vs- an expansion full of running around with people watching day long CS's. My personal opinion though.

I liked VW. Fast, repeatable as many times as you want with the only requirement being to talk to a npc for more stones.

You don't have to compare VW to an expansion, sigh. Ramyrez was talking of sea specifically, an endgame event like VW. Which btw I wonder why to this day those mobs have longass respawn times.

You're comparing story missions to repeatable endgame content.

=\=

Voidwatch was infinitely more rewarding than Jailer farming.

I loved the CoP missions too. And I did them as they released.

Pretty sure there aren't many people who can claim they were screwed by Voidwatch's luck-of-the-draw drops as much as I was, but even then I'll take Voidwatch all day, every day, compared to Sea grinding back at 75.

make all servers into 1

\( '3')/ Problem fixed

Im feeling burned after doing daily stuffs for mythic. Everyday:

2h dynamis for cash
1h doing nyzul
30 min doing einherjar
1h each 5 days to upgrade my campaign medal
30m each 4 days to burn my imprimateurs

only thing ive been doing aside daily is ark angels when i manage to get 45 merits by RoE.

And im feeling so frustrated that ichor will hold my mythic for more 15-20 days...

We won't hurt you, as long as you realize you deserve that *** whoopin' even if it's not forthcoming.

i dont know where you pulling this info from, but when you have queues logging in then there definitly isnt a need for server merges ¬.¬ in FF14. just sayin

server merge brought dankdragon along with the rest of diabolos. siren was a quiet place before that even with our ironic name. no server merges, if you dont like the server pop then transfer.

Server merge would never fix NA issues when every server is dominated by JP. It's either Mega Server where Dyn is split up like groups entering Delve and fix waiting times for BCNMs/Salvage and/or pop NMs or an NA onry server where the vast majority of JP would be most satisfied.
I agree tho none of this is even remotely necessary atm w/ SE giving us all this lowman too weak content of late. Takes a whole three ppl to do UC wanted... lol

Hah i've been doing alot of events, and things with the JP lately. Hasn't really been a problem as most seem to know what they're doing.

FFXIV doesn't need merge, the servers always gets full/almost impossible to get online on NA prime time. You just got butthurt.

why on earth would XIV need a merge? so much of the game is done cross-server that unless you're doing coil, you're likely not playing with people on your own server to begin with.

I like cheese.

Abyssea story is based on the alternative reality where Promathia won the fight in the Empyreal Paradox. Abyssea areas aren't actually a part of the alternative Crystal War aftermath where Shadow Lord had won. I got your point though. They could have been a single addon. But at least, they still had pretty huge content compared to the 3 addons...

First and foremost, trusts are irrelevant in this discussion in any because the events that you need trusts in are not events that matter anyway.

I can't see how a server merge would be anything but healthy for the smaller servers to merge with one another. I am on a larger server myself and while I don't farm dynamis anymore I still see long stretches of days where the zones are empty or have 1 person in them. If Qufim is full then go to another zone, I can assure you that you will find a zone with minimal people in that you can farm.

Asides from that it brings nothing but more activity for people who don't have large linkshells AND boosts larger linkshells. Merge two small servers together and bring life into the population, I assure you that will make more people willing to play since their options of servers aren't... Asura and like 2 others. The having to wait for people to enter an instance would be my main concern, but since I am not suggesting adding servers to one that is healthy population wise, I can't see it causing much of an issue.

The only reason I can see anyone being opposed to a server merge is a. They have a small knit group of people they run all events with and have no issues finding members for content b. Have an active linkshell and aren't affected (Division I'm in) c. Don't play this game and are posting to whine cause they can't get enough whining over a game they don't play or d. Are crazy/Don't want to do incursion reliably

just came back to carby man thats a mistake its dead dead dead /time to move to asura

Holy necro batman.

I second this. FFXIV wil never be what FFXI is.
