I never said they weren't

My point is just that the concept of progress main story --> open new content is not an unheard of a thing

[ConnahDC 5]

My point is, those games are also story driven games but they have quests you can skip

[Otti#8624 26]

It's actually pretty common in games

[ConnahDC 5]

FF14 is probs the worst example of it honestly

You can get over levelled in FF14 and still be forced through the story

And level doesn’t even matter anyway

Seeing as all dungeons/raids whatever sets your level lower anyway

If it’s not current content

[Otti#8624 26]

Right, so overleveling isn't a problem in this game

[ConnahDC 5]

Yeah there is

You’re overlevelled but you’re lagging behind in content

If I’m level 70 when Shadowbringers comes out, just let me move on

Don’t force me through these quests

[Otti#8624 26]

If you are 70 by the time Shadowbringers is out, then you had more than enough time to finish the main quest by then

[ConnahDC 5]

I mean new players

[Otti#8624 26]

And new players will progress like normal and do the main quest

There really isn't an issue here

[ConnahDC 5]

Just because you don’t see or have the same issue I have doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

[Otti#8624 26]

Fair

I don't really agree with the issue

[ConnahDC 5]

By the time a new player has got through Stormblood they’ll be around level 71-72 going into SHB

I just don’t think that’s right

And let’s be real here, they haven’t changed the quest and story structure because they make too much money from story skips

[Otti#8624 26]

What do you mean?

[ConnahDC 5]

You can buy a story skip for each expansion

[Otti#8624 26]

Oh

Then I agree with you on this

[ConnahDC 5]

I’m pretty sure the quests are designed in a way for making people want to skip it to

Teleport to another area > talk to npc > MAYBE get a cutscene > occasionally get an unskippable fight

Rinse repeat

[ConnahDC 5]

Oh and even if you story skip

Your level doesn’t change

Level skips are sold separately

[Novayon 192]

Damn MMOs and their ridiculous service microtransactions

£13 for a simple appearance change in WoW

£9 just to change your name

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Yikes

[Novayon 192]

Bloody hell, £27 to change faction

Though I do get why they don't want people switching between factions like crazy, this seems steep to me

[2 quid is good 2,209]

They could easily just limit the number of times you do it, like psn name changes

Omfg I still can't believe psn name change is a thing

[Otti#8624 26]

Man, I still can't believe there is going to be a Sandman show

And Neil Gaiman is working on it too

GBN is really stylish

[2 quid is good 2,209]
