I just think maybe there’s other ways to go about it.

Like maybe it’s a hallway and we break through each area to chase the boss.

Or maybe the boss idk I’m not creative but I mean

Could it be something more interesting?

Or are we just going to have that arena style fights forever?

Also does every final boss have to be a giant monster using its hands to hit left side of the room and then the right side?

Just something I’ve noticed because I thought mentors knew how to play the game well but they always die or dont do much damags.

I’ve been on T started in January this year and I started injections last month and its also a higher dose. Ive noticed lately my stomach fat is kind of bigger lately.

The thing is I do lift weights at the gym and also do cardio, I’m 5’7 135. I also don’t eat junk food (just once in a while a burger or something). So I definitely feel pudgier lately even with my usual routine

Is this something you guys experienced too? Does it even out eventually or should I expect my fat to gether here a lot?

seriously we cant do this anymore

tank healer dps

this is the cause of so many problems for decades in mmorpgs and lets be real actually ANY games that have roles broken down like that

its why so many have failed

and its crazy how game designers just cant stay away from it either

i also think wow and ffxiv need to completely redo their combat systems because from newer players joining these games lately to see whats up with them, majority are seriously confused how any of this was fun at any point.

dps queues? tanks having to memorize mechanics and routes and mobs? healer panic?

is there ANY game designers breaking away from this?

and are mmorpg players just NOT able to let the holy trinity go because they feel its their safe place?

its outdated. its boring. its tedious. it inhibits innovation and truly cool character customizations.

i love playing prot pally because i get to have sparkles and also gather mobs and hit them thats what i like. while also being more survivable

but why do i have to have ever dungeon memorized and also which mobs to pull and direct everyone to do stuff

i stopped doing that bc it felt like a job so i just pull what i think is best but people wanna conplain and stuff

i like being tank but you all are adults too if you have a preference for how the dungeon should go then volunteer it

and if this is all player made problems and not blizzards doing then what is the solution

just let me have fun and stop trying to make me clock in

I thought I knew I would NEVER want to play a tank. I also thought I wouldn’t want to DPS but all of that changed recently!

First I tried RDM because I like melee and thought its combo seemed cool, and after a while I really enjoyed it.

But for sure I didn’t plan to try a tank because that’s too much responsibility!

Until I tried WAR! Not only was it easy for me to learn and feel comfortable in but it has “magic” (lol) healing and also can survive very well in case I forget mechanics.

So if you doubt you’ll enjoy other jobs or roles, don’t give up. Give each one a good try at least to level 50, both in groups and solo like deep dungeon.

And if they don’t match your character fantasy, most jobs have weapon glams that look like different weapons so you dont have to be stuck on one weapon. Same for armor. I still consider myself a melee mage as WAR lmao.

Did you ever think you wouldnt play a certain role only to make it your new main job?

I have no idea how the duty works

Just tell me where to go and I’ll aggro everything

But I’m lost and don’t know where I am usually so just gently guide me

And tell me the mechanics

Talk me thru it

Thank you

so you watch youtube videos and memorize the floor mechanics
and youve already memorized your rotation for years because youve played for that long

what makes that hardcore

its all preset stuff. all predictable. the only variable is one person not remembering something and getting everyone killed. which the sweats will crucify them for because how dare they not already git gud from raid guides.

I just started OC and I do like that it reminds me so much of FFXI which was my fav game long time ago and I joined because I want to make the relic weapon.

I’ve been playing for a few days now running to fates and CEs and have a couple questions:

- I only got 1 demiatma after doing a lot of fates seemingly, is it really this difficult to find demiatma?
- I’m still learning the CE encounters so I seem to die as a dps easily, is that normal?
- There doesnt seem to be any purpose of the monsters around, or am I missing something?
- The phantom jobs idea seemed kind of cool, but I can’t seem to find any new ones, someone in group told me they drop from fates but I haven’t gotten any.
- The jobs themselves that I’ve tried it doesn’t seem like I’m very powered up by them? When I use the abilities they don’t last long or do much.
- Do I have to do the quests to unlock North Horn and does that drop demiatma too? Because I’m stuck on one trying to find a voidsent CE but havent found it.

It just seems theres a lot of gating or something or maybe I’m just not getting it when it comes to this field operation (its my first one I never played the others).

Anyone else find them relaxing?

Sometimes you just want to run a quick easy dungeon with simpler mechanics and give your brain, hands and eyes a break while still getting things done in the game for duty roulette, wondrous tails and challenge logs.

And even the low level version of my job is fun too. Especially when I can help sprouts or returners, or just people wanting to do duties.

I think the light show DDR mechanics can get tiring.

Playing rdm rn and having to fill up this gauge to do my melee combo takes way too long. just alternating spells until I get to use it.

it needs to be like 10 white and 10 black to do a full combo or something bc it would feel more active jumping in and out without having to stand here casting til halfway thru the fight

evolved mode cant come soon enough

my thoughts

the msq should have ended at endwalker and new expansions provided upgrades to existing content and connected them to the main story better. we have enough solid MSQ that they can further refine and if people want more story then make more side missions that branch out to unique dungeons and raids that have their own connected lore.

gameplay improvements such as:

- evercold should not have had a level increase but did something like a customizable stats or horizontal progression of something. rework stats so that gear and item choices are horizontal and unique. i know people want another level but we need to refocus

- add an rpg feature back like elemental resistances and weaknesses (would fit everCOLD)

- new rewards system built in that connects with the customizing horizontal stuff. put it in all old dungeons.
add new secrets to all dungeons. new floors, new treasures, rare bosses that can spawn. add an exploring element or just new things to find, maybe even story sections that expand what was there.

- job reworking - allow cross class weapons equips, cross class actions, evolved mode is a good start that they announced for easing button bloat. add unique role stuff to encounters that trigger when the dungeon loads n parses party setup ie: use fairy to illuminate something on the floor

- make weapons have additional unique skills to give old weapons new uses. unless youre using your main level wep most gear is now useless except for glams.

idk what else but basically yea expanding on this idea that the msq has enough content that we can focus on other areas

I started playing DPS and lately I have been getting a lot of player commendations. I am new to DPSing so I don’t think I’m that good. But my glamour is pretty cute and my adventure plate pose is creative so maybe people send me commendations because of my aesthetic?

What do you think?

i love blue mage but you cant play the regular game with it ao ive always been white mage which i do enjoy but i always get nervous to queue for dungeons and raids bc i feel like everything falls on me to fix

if there was a support class that didnt have to keep everyone alive or had flexibility id play it like i thought red mage would be that but i dont think it ever heals much

anyway i was thinking of scholar because of the heals and the fairy to help me, do you think it would take pressure off to be a scholar?

i also love paladin classes in other mmos but being a tank seems like even more pressure and i dont want that

Like I mean some bottoms really want it but doesnt bottoming hurt? Or is a lot of bottoming just wanting to please another man and be used that way?

it was my first time seeing the closing ceremony they interviewed a girl she was cute dressed in lolita or maid shes like i love anime expo bc i feel safe to like the things i like and be who i am n they asked her what she would tell her teenage self she said everything will be ok n i felt that fr and and she started crying and then i felt tears because like yea it becomes its own world where everyone is like you and nice and accepting.

because i am

and im not a pro its my first time and i tried to plan ahead but stuff just wasnt working out and im gonna keep trying but im almost gonna give up

does anyone else relate
