Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

Honestly I find tanking in FF14 boring outside of Extreme content. Especially for regular dungeons. Just turn on tank stance and spin around. From what a friend told me, Tanking use to be more interesting before they reworked how aggro worked. But in his words "Shitters complained that they couldn't keep aggro due to their incompetence".

Tanking was never really that interesting in dungeons, at least from an aggro perspective. It was mostly the same as it is now, just with mandatory single-target fillers due to AoE not being free and having to stance dance every so often to retake aggro. And even that's overselling it - there used to be a role action that was essentially an AoE provoke that was up for nearly every pull.

The change to aggro was, broadly speaking, a good thing. But they didn't really give tanks additional stuff to do to make up for taking aggro management away. Stuns and interrupts could have been introduced as mandatory tank mechs in dungeons but they're scared of making normal mode content require any of that.

AoE provoke is overselling it, current Provoke actually gives threat, back then that Provoke just gave you +1 hate which is only useful to ensure the mobs tag chase you when you face pull and blitz through the dungeon asap and Ultimatum (the name of that skill) was not super useful really imo. Now if that skill worked like current age Provoke but aoe? It'd do something. If you lost hate to the BLM flaring their ass off, Ultimatum is not really going to save you because the range is eh and chances are if you got to that point, you weren't paying attention enough to use Ultimatum in time to snap aggro back to you.

Still aggro changes were a good thing because aggro management was effectively more a dps responsibility paradoxically then a tank one, because if your dps knew to use Quelling Strikes/Diversion/Shadewalker (if Ninja) then you barely had to manage threat anyway as the tank so you are just blue dps anyway. In 8 man content if you had a Warrior, Unchained pulls basically held aggro for you forever if you didn't die, oh hey that was reason number 14 of why HW War was one of the strongest jobs relatively speaking in this game's history. Circle Shirk in SB made this process even easier that threat only mattered on the first one to two GCDs of an add spawning, otherwise it didn't matter. Aggro combos were generally agreed to be a last resort for the tank to use except but pant eating retards no one wants to play with.

It is a vast overstatement to say threat management was some herculean task or even really relevant task prior to ShB it was barely anything after you got past the noob trap idea that you have to use enmity combos often in FFXIV, especially outside of tryhard sweat lord groups no one ITT plays in. You effectively had 2 buttons that you used maybe a small handful of times, otherwise you never used your aggro combos and using your aggro combos wasn't even fun because aggro combos very poorly generated resources for your actual job's mechanics (especially with Drk). Also DF shitter DPS barely generated aggro anyway because they used half their opening rotation at best, so dungeon aggro was just always easy unless you got some sweat lord in EXR.

tl;dr: Aggro was a confusing noob trap because DPS managed that more then the tanks in reality if you were actually trying to play well, tanks barely needed to do shit, Unchained made boss aggro mind numbingly easy, Ninja also made it easy as fuck, it was just a bunch of pointless bullshit once you broke it down past the initial opener and the small handful of times adds existed that mattered.

Doing daily roulettes and being paired with an RP macrofag is a nightmare
This shit should be against TOS under spam.

I wonder if there isn't a way to trigger
3.9 Non-Commercial Spamming/Spimming. You may not use (or abuse) the in-game chat and message services to harass other players.

by asking them to stop spamming the shit and pointing out that you quite literally cannot blacklist someone while in a duty because spaghetti code, which you otherwise would use to resolve the issue
 
I enjoy the fact not a single person said anything.

It makes the idiot with the macro look like way more of an asshole.
 
Apparently people have been talking about Roe vs. Wade in the shout chat. Friends of mine said they where sperging about it yesterday to. Just missed the majority.
I don't come to play FF14 to hear your politisperging. The opposite actually. I really wish these people would fuck off.

So Asmongold is having a meltdown over the FF14 community calling him out on his bullshit,


Standard Asmon retardation, makes 6 hour into videos, doesn't play the game he advertises and deletes and bans all critisim on both his twitch chat and his Subreddit but now the FF community is so "Toxic" he HAS to make a video about it.

Never mind the fact people have always shit talked him about this. It's clear to anyone with eyes he just doesn't want to play the game but is too much of a pussy to say so, so he looks for any excuse he can get.

Honestly, there's enough ex-wow people still doing playthroughs like Pint and Jeathe that people should just jump ship. Literally no reason to still stick around with a staller.

Pint's gay ass fake reactions really turn me off him, watching a dude pretend badly to not know what's going on sucks, just admit you spoiled yourself and enjoy the journey or don't spoil yourself.

Pint really needs to reconsider trooning out. Dude has effed up teeth and greasy hair. I don't think he has the personal hygiene to pretend to be a uwu cutie girl

All of this shit is standard Asmongold shit and this isn't the first time he went on a tangent like this about FFXIV people pissing him off in a particular and then people ask the question "does he actually want to play FFXIV?", hell he said similar shit like this before he played it the first time. This whole "DOES ASMONGOLD ACTUALLY LIKE FFXIV??" shit is really fucking dumb, it was dumb the first time and it is dumb now. Asmongold fights with his community, he did it with Lost Ark, he did it with WoW, and this is how he does it with FFXIV just like he dropped the "beat all raids before EW" bet that people took extremely seriously because people making a college thesis statement about "Can Asmongold beat everything before? Read this post to find out if yes/no." every single day makes his gamer basement produced autism flare up.

Asmongold's 'intros' from what I can tell have just gotten longer in general, the man watched the Johnny Depp trial live for multiple days and those are 3 or so hour sessions by themselves. Just watch his youtube shit if you want to see him play FF, it is mostly unedited from what I've seen.

The worst part is that people have been complaining about 6 hour intros for months, way before FFXIV, his reaction content has gotten real bad, you dont need to do 5-6 reactions on the same topic everyday, (Diablo Immortal) his reddit is a trash fire about this right now. I honestly believe its people purposely fanning the flames to get a negative reaction out of him.

Zepla's take on it kinda sucks too.

And of course the people who are trying to create this drama went into her chat and started saying how they hope Russian soldiers find her soon.

Honestly dont think its the FF community causing this. There are people who just want to see the world burn creating this dumb drama.

I think it is the FF community in the sense that they make the biggest stink in the most obvious way because everyone wants to debate if Asmongold wants to "quit FFXIV" every week when he wasn't playing it and every day when he is, and the every day topic is likely what is stirring things alongside the intro drama. This whole discussion is just a boring topic because in the end the only person who truly knows is the basement bald man himself, but because of all the hype around him playing this weeb MMO it has become the great conversation piece to talk about if Asmongold wants to play a video game. It is just weird to me for people to be this obsessed over it, because people were arguing all the time if Asmongold quit FFXIV for months after he stopped shortly after starting Stormblood. People were doing this type of autistic speculation back when he first saw ShB and he outright said this turned him off of playing the game, it is the unfortunate situation of being a popular streamer within the MMO space.

Asmongold is a weirdly sensitive person about the most specific of things and he is as stubborn as an ox to go along with it.
 
See, I'd never really watch a streamer like... play a game or any of that shit, that whole "community" thing for lazy socially retarded zoomers isn't my bag.

But if they start livestreaming their life falling apart and freaking out about mundane things like having to actually work a job and be useful to another human being, you couldn't get my eyes away from the screen. Up until that point, I can't see why anyone should give a shit that pampered socialite X says thing Y on day Z.
