Lol. No....

Why would you say FFXI is more difficult than WoW, and not around the same difficulty?

Re: oh noes! not another ffxi vs wow thread!

getting from 0-60 it isn't as difficult, however when i gets to molten core its around the same difficulty... bad players can only get so far in MC :D

Everything you excperience within the first 8 minutes you'll be experience for the rest of you time you spend playing. Playing on a PvP server can help the boredom, but everybody really is an asshat and a half.

I kinda find that statement funny, because last I checked, quite a few FFXI players - even many who are otherwise in love with the game, consider CoP a rather mediocre expansion at best, and a failure at worst.

Um. No.

Most of the slackers who call it a "failure" haven't even beat the promys. I know cause i thought it sucked too til' i got Tav access.

Anybody who says CoP sucks knows nothing about it. Game Pro thought it sucked, but I'm sure that opinion was funded by their sponsers, just like every other opinion they have.

Re: oh noes! not another ffxi vs wow thread!

Yeah.. the general opinion in the circles I travel is that CoP has some wonderful content. It's just hard to get to. But then again, I think of everything in FFXI as a sidequest from single player S-E games Hours and hours to achieve anything.

The CoP stuff I've played (only up to 2-5, but I just recently got a static) is excellent and all of the zones put the original FFXI zones to shame. The NMs are interesting, the fights are fun, the XP is good xD (In ENMs and areas like bibiki bay when not crowded). Maybe ToAU will satisfy those players with a hunger for new jobs and stuff like that, but it's not really how S-E always rolls.

Huh? I don't speak your silly, musical language of the lizard people.

Double Post Edited:
Oh and people were calling CoP a failure because of the way SE released its content AND it was actually hard. When you are buying an expansion pack for FFXI, you are buying the right to download its content. This was also fueled by WoW being released. You can't compare 1/8(been like 8 updates right) of an expansion pack to a full game.

CoP made FFXI a FF game. I mean, never before has a MMORPG been this detailed.

Re: oh noes! not another ffxi vs wow thread!

you cant play an mmorpg for less than hour and decide you hate it... well if your basing it on pure graphics and gameplay and stuff like the battlesystem andwhatnot, then yes you can. but your saying that it was too simpe and easy... its not supposed to be hard the FIRST 8 LEVELSSSSS!! WHOAHOOO

no story?? i didnt even know the story to ffxi until after 6 months of playing

atleast give it another go. i gave it a week and im kind of undecided... gonna let a friend let me try out playing some high level stuff on his character, maby that'll give me some drive

Re: oh noes! not another ffxi vs wow thread!

The people who say WoW is full of asshats and FFXI isn't...you are completely wrong.

They are BOTH full of asshats. During my time in FFXI I had been lied to and taken advantage of so many times that it was sickening.

I love both games character designs, however, realm design in FFXI is kind of lacking. You'll have these huge areas with nothing really interesting to look at.

I liked FFXI, but after so long, it's not my cup of tea anymore--it just takes too long for the water to boil. =D

Re: oh noes! not another ffxi vs wow thread!

when I started CoP, for the first couple months I HATEd this expansion. Rediculous about of time to gather members, rediculously hard boss, die die die wasting lots of times ><

But after getting pass that point (on chaptor 5 now) I have to say I love the storyline.

CoP is something totally opposite to WoW. You won't get an instant kick out of CoP... you need to put a lot of time and effort into it before you can start to appreciate it whereas WoW you can get an instant fun right off the start.

I wish the next expansion will do better tho... something fun right off the start, and we can appreciate it even more as we go deeper into the story.

The new jobs will
Balgas is right though. There will ALWAYS be asshats in any MMORPGs. I prefered FFXI over WoW because I was fortunate enough to make great NA and JP friends that made the game enjoyable no matter how stressful the game itself got.

Enter Molten Core when its intended (level 55-60 Blue gear, level 60 player), with 39 competient players and its a complete joke.

Blackwing Lair really isn't that hard either. It just has one boss battle that can leave people stuck, Valesatraz... then again there is no timer on him anymore so that may be moot.

Endgame content should be designed to be difficult for the hardcore...
It should not be designed be difficult on the level of retards, but a joke for the hardcore.
