When it get's better?

[Joka]

I've been playing for more than 100 hours and I'm still waiting for that moment where the game improves.
I've heard that the story of the game is very good, but I'm finishing Heavensward and the story still doesn't appeal to me.
Pvp is fun and fast, but it's not a content to focus on.
I'm not having fun, but everyone tells me the game gets better, the game gets better, the game gets better.....
But when does it get better?
It only happens to me?
is it because I play alone?

Have you tried trials or raid content? And you still have 3 more expansion packs to play. So you're far behind the story right now. It could be because of that. Taking that into account it's a pretty old expansion pack. It could be because of that that game doesnt look that appealing to you. Maybe you will like the other expansion packs more. Or this game is not your cup of tea. But when i was playing Heavensward i actually liked it so much cause i'm obsessed with dragons. The story was so mesmerizing for me. And then i did some trials and it was so much fun. Especially Thok ast Thok(Extreme).

Probably gonna get a lot of "might be time to pack it in, then" replies. Wouldn't say I disagree. A lot of people will also probably say Shadowbringers is the peak of the game but...

This is key. If you aren't having fun yet you probably aren't going to, and that's okay.

Depends on you, honestly. If you enjoy playing with others more than playing solo then you're obviously not going to have as much fun solo. I personally don't care either way and have fun doing solo roulettes and such.

Also kinda funny that you like the PvP when it's traditionally been the least popular aspect of the game.

Chances are if it hasnt gotten fun for you by Heavensward, it wont get better for you.

Dont fall into the trap of 'It gets better eventually.' Just because Moby ♥♥♥♥ got better at the end, doesnt mean its a story worth reading. That said, this is an MMO, the social aspect is a major part of what keeps alot of people here. I know I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for my friends basically begging me to play this game.

I know ARR hit me like a college hazing ritual, and the story has since left me critical of whether or not it is actually good. So far, up to Shadowbringers, Ive settled for 'its not bad, but mostly generic.' Take that how you will.

Playing alone on an mmo certainly doesn't help anyway

Heavensward quest A Knights Calling, dungeon The Vault. You will know what I mean if you finish it.

The MSQ remains like this forever. Personally I liked HW and StormBlood (reasonably) but Shadow Bringers is giving me deja vu to ARR. So much boring filler quests where I run around the map for very little reason. Really saps my desire to play. Im supposed to be a very important person in the universe yet I'm treated like a nobody. Played for an hour or two earlier and there was only one quest involving combat. Everything else was just clicking interact with various objects and NPC's in the world. They even joked about how "oh great - Pixie Chores". Yes as if I hadn't noticed!!

The most enjoyment I've had in this game is grinding up jobs either in dungeon finder or just monster hunting. The combat is great and the only reason I haven't given up. The story in MSQ is nice when things are actually happening - TBH a lot of the time the plot s too slow - but the quest design is appalling. 70% of the quests could be deleted and nothing meaningful would be lost.

I don't mind doing chores in the early game to familiarise myself with the environment, but when I'm a few hundred hours in and I'm still doing chores something is wrong with the game design.

[DevilMayCry]

I dont know what to tell you as HW was one of my favorite expansions.

[Shurpy]

It doesnt get better the formula stays the same FFXIV does not innovate per expansion

If you have gone through Heavensward and the game has not grabbed you, move along. Go to another game. ffxiv will never appeal to you.

If you're through HW and still not interested, it's not going to get better for you. Don't continue throwing good time after time wasted; cut your losses and find something you do enjoy.

[pruitcake]

Maybe the game just isn't for you, and that's okay. Move on to something else and don't force yourself to enjoy something.

When i was beginning to play, everybody was saying like the story is great and cool and don't you dare skip any cutscene or dialogue and i believed them so i've gone through ARR, HW and half of Stormblood reading and watching everything, but i started realising that something's wrong.

I was absolutely not interested in the story, like, since the beginning of ARR, but because of everybody telling the story is great, I felt like I'm broken and wasn't having fun like you are. The story seemed to be the typical "good cool guy defeating bad cool guys one after another cuz ur good and thei r bad and sheet", so i just started skipping everything and speedrunning though MSQ and i actually began to enjoy the game much more. Like, everything besides the story (and PVP probably imo, but you seem to enjoy it though) is great - Dungeons, Trials, Raids, Housing, The Community, all the stuff.

I got 1400 hrs now and i'm still loving it, so maybe you should just try to forget about the story and pay more attention to other things. Or the game's just not for you lol, it happens as well...
