Starting To Get Bored or Maybe FFIV ARR Is Not For MeFollow

Hello Everyone

Well as of lately I've been finding myself bored of this game or don't feel like playing it, not sure if I just burned myself out by deleting multiple character under level 10 mainly due to looks, classes. I do know that one character can be all of the classes but I'm more an alt type player and for this game I rather only have two character's one for DoW and the other for DoM.

My highest character's I have so far is a level 13 Lalafell arcanist and a level 11 Hyur lancer, the arcanist was my first character and I did enjoy playing it and maybe that's my problem I might hold of leveling my lancer and my other character I made last night on a different server which is a thaumaturge also a Lalafell. I would also like to mention I haven't made any friends yet or join any free companies yet, and this could be another reason why I am getting bored of this game or it might just be that FFXIV ARR might not be for me.

There are other games that I would love to try out again but ATM having trouble with remembering info for 1 game and other one I don't want to pay for a sub and then quit few days later, so I'm trying to get free days from them. The only game that I enjoy playing and still do even know I haven't played in a few weeks now due to burn out, is Tera Online by far my favorite mmo out there.

As of the moment I don't see myself subscribing to FFXIV ARR when my free time is up and I still got like 22-24 days left.

So I'm not sure what to do here, maybe all I need to do is make friends or find a good free company to join with friendly players, anyways I would like to hear your opinions on what I could do to make my last 20 some days enjoyable I don't want them go to waste.

nice made up story

Because getting to LV 13 takes about half an hour.


There's your answer. Nobody is holding you back! If you don't like the game, that's that. There is no band-aid fix for your problem;
no matter how many others tell you how great the game is @LV50, or how good the storyline is - you'll never get that far anyway
if you are already bored at LV 13. My advice: TERA might be your best bet. If you like it, play it. Don't waste your time with something
you don't enjoy.

As I said in my original post, I said it could be one of the reasons or very minor and now I have character's that I like the looks of. I think that I just don't like this game then again maybe I haven't gotten to the good part yet.

I knew I was going get trolls and flames on here, thanks to those who actually replied with good comments ETC.

I personally find having friends in game help a lot. Find a chatty LS or FC that fits your style, and go from there. But then again, it could be that it's really just not for you, and there isn't anything wrong with that. Not all games to speak to everyone the same.

Good luck!

My first post about the game came when I had a single level 10 character. I was not pleased, since all he'd done up to that point was run around Ul'dah, talk to NPCs who sent me to talk to other NPCs, and just barely leave the city to kill a few moles. But after level 15, things picked up. That's when you get the opportunity to do dungeons (in fact, you have to, as part of the main storyline). Then at level 20, things picked up again. And at level 30.

So the advice I have for the OP here comes from personal experience- give it a few more levels and group up with folks for those first three dungeons. It gets a _lot_ more fun.

With the way the armor in this game is done, if you're a GLD or a MRD you will quickly get to the point where you don't even see your character's face any more....

Please do! There's by far too few of those axe-touting lunatics out there right now.
Yoshida already mentioned that they'll get a major overhaul in one of the next patches;
and I can already hear the screams of envy of all those Paladins, hahaha!

That is very very impressive. Might I ask how? I mean you get good exp from everything, from exploring new areas quest killing mobs logs fates, I just find it hard to think that after 30 hrs of game play you would only be at 8,

I think there's a setting to not show the head armor.

Also, if usable on the piece you can /visor

The problem with the pld/mrd gear is that it's combined head and body slot, so not only can you not /visor (doesn't work), you can't remove the head slot either since it's all attached. It's too bad, because the armor itself is rather cool, but being in cutscenes where you're trying to talk to someone or even convey emotion through your character stinks because you can't even see the face. Also, for MRD/WAR at least, there are MAJOR clipping issues with your axe when it's on your back in that armor. And when you wield a giant great axe, you don't want to hide it...

Yeah, the chest pieces that restrict headgear but give a ton of armor. I just use a normal chest piece and a helmet. ***** it, I wanna see my character, and the stats are pretty much the same anyway.

I do use the legs from those sets though because they're massively armored and look awesome.

I'll respond only because I see you have actually replied again to the thread.

But I have to be honest... your first post on Zam's FFXIV forum was this thread... most people will consider that a troll and rate you down pretty hard.

If you really don't think this game is for you, then consider some other games instead. Perhaps you're just not that into MMORPG's. I see you also posted a complaint thread in the Rift forum.

Or perhaps you should focus on the positive... FFXIV is actually working for you, even though Rift is not....

FFXIV:ARR honestly has all of the best components of the MMO genre all in one game... if you don't like this game after hitting only level 13... then I'm thinking you should try a different genre altogether.
