@WowKungen Try asking doctor about “scabies” if you haven’t already

Dont want this shit to get even worse. Hurts a little and itches a lot constantly

No stream today. Need to rest my hands another day. Eczema got a lot worse when wifey was gone even had to play with bandages over my wounds and bubbles that are forming. But yesterday they seemed to get a bit better so gonna do the exact same thing today. Pic in replies

@Peonymancer Thank you! I love it

@JustRussTV thank you so much for your wholesome streams 💛 #FFXIV #FFXIVART #ffxivchristmas #ffxivaura

@MogTalkTweets @elanaastaria @KiwiCat_TV @kwistyy_ @ZoReee_ Let’s gooooo!

Our 7th team is "Team Porxies"! @elanaastaria @KiwiCat_TV @kwistyy_ @ZoReee_ @JustRussTV Just because Porxies are cute, it doesn't mean they won't roll over the competition!

@ZekaalJa Oh shit, you proved my point 🙄

@JustRussTV You are still in Shadowbringers stalling the MSQ as FFXIV peaked there. Your opinion is invalid and tone deaf. The doom is from the drop off from where you are now. Enjoy it.

Re: Negativity in the FFXIV space Cheer up fuckers. youtube.com/watch?v=fbz5Pi…

@Azuriteien Cheers! The game defo has issues, I’ll never say to turn a blind eye by staying positive - that’s just as bad. But people need to stop actively seeking and assuming the bad without the facts

@JustRussTV Great video Russ! You're kicking ass on FF14 by doing all the raiding content blind, I respect that. I also agree with you, I have a lot of problems with the game and am critical of it, but I still find enjoyment in it! PS Ignore the blue check idiot, they just want money lmao

@llamatodd Refrained from posting this on your last few tweets but you are so fucking unbearable, man. Clout chasing didn’t work for you. And what, now this is your master plan? Cmon dude. You’re better than this. What’s next?

New hat just dropped (except for Viera and Hrothgar)! Let's Make Eorzea Great Again! llamatodd-shop.fourthwall.com/products/make-…

@gg_saori Well said Saori. Thanks for speaking up on this. It’s been exhausting seeing all the entitled negativity recently - sours the pot for everyone having fun with the game. Obvious improvements can be made and should, but the doom posting and negative echo chambers are so dangerous!

I don’t usually speak up on topics like this, but today I feel I need to. Six years ago, I downloaded a game that would quietly, profoundly change my life. Since then, I’ve made lifelong friends, discovered unforgettable music, laughed, cried, and found a community I deeply love. Even before I ever thought of streaming, FFXIV was my safe place and my comfort. It still is. Like anything, this game has always had areas to improve. That is still true today. Constructive feedback is necessary for growth. Things like friends list update, DC travel, housing demolitions, QoL, there’s so much room to do better! But I continue to play FFXIV because it brings me joy. This is the reason why I play any game, because I have fun. Lately, there’s been a wave of negativity that goes beyond critique, it feels like outrage for engagement’s sake. It’s okay to take a break due to burn out or while waiting for new content. It is valid to not like where things are going and quitting a game. But it’s not okay to tear down others for simply finding joy in something you no longer do. This game has given so much to so many, including myself, and I am looking forward to what the future holds.

@Acknologia_NA @llamatodd Agreed. Which is why it’s okay to move on if a game doesn’t cut it for you anymore. The post reads similarly to how I felt about WoW a couple of years back. Quitting the game freed me to do other things and enjoy new experiences/games rather than logging in daily to be sad

@JustRussTV @llamatodd Maybe thats the thing... the game has alot to do. Alot of old content that offers nothing. From an old player perspective like him, once you've caught up with everything, all that is left is the same content every single patch with no innovation for the past 10 years.

I get people dont want to hear negative things, but let's face reality. There are no major QoL or UI updates in over a decade. The mobile version getting features we can't get in retail adding to fomo and resentment. DC travel killed PF in NA region, why isn't it all combined and shared? MASSIVE Technical/Technological DEBT due to old infrastructure preventing REAL innovation and updates. DT msq not delivering on many fronts. No clear long-term road map of new innovation, updates unlike nearly every other mmo out there does. Peak WoW Exodus/covid lockdown/ record Twitch viewership and parasocial behavior plus amazing SHb/EW msq now returning to pre storm blood numbers. This was expected, but the drop-off is shocking for many. Absolute dogwater new player experience from using their early 2000s busted websites to wading through a mountain of msq just to catch up with friends who are max level. Either 8.0 delivers ARR 2.0 with resources and money pumped into a visibly aging game to give it new life, or it will never happen, and those resources will be allocated for a new mmo or ip. Yes, raids are fun and content pretty good in parts, but its short lived. 4.5 month patch cycles are too long and 2.5 years between expansions are rough for what we are getting. Im glad people are still in their honeymoon phase with an mmo and enjoying it, but when you're an old gamer like me, you see things for what they are. They need to devote the proper resources going forward or they will slowly bleed out veteran players who are fed up with the lack of change from the status quo. 7.3 will be a Loooooooong patch cycle. Basically if you're still playing now, you either: - have a house and dont want to lose it and yoship wants his rent - have a social or rp circle to hang with but you dont really do battle content - spamming legacy ultimates until you build your own island and house made purely out of fucking totems - milking/stalling msq or still progging current tier - you are a Lego person singing "everything is awesome" SE white knight

@kabigon87670663 @mane_tank But they already played 16 hours a day for 2 weeks straight to make sure it was all finished, to the point they can’t touch it anymore. So they need more content, you see?

@mane_tank Didn’t the exploration zone that people have been whining about wanting for the past year just come out

Battle content enjoyers after live letter 87

@Yukigakure @zachbussey stop viewbotting then

Twitch has launched Treasure Trains, where if you hit Level 5, it unlocks a 35% discount on five or more gifted subs for a short time. The discount is split with the streamer.

@nanzhumeng As a man, this is fucking weird behaviour and you shouldn’t take mentally deranged takes as your outlook on all men.

as an asexual the way men talk about sex always convinced me that they r literally all mentally ill bc nobody is forcing u to do all that….

🔴LIVE - Doing Patch 5.0 Shadowbringers Finale BIG DAY! twitch.tv/justruss

@HauntedLuvrGirl As a previous GM of a relatively high end mythic guild: we used to trial for one raid tier, however rank meant almost nothing. You’d be considered the same as a raider for loot, roster picks/comps for bosses, socially etc. you just get a better overall picture from a whole tier.

@RageDarling Player churn happens in all games, which is why it’s so important to grip new players early. Else you just have a slowly dying game. Josh Strife Hayes has a great video about “quit moments” which resonated with me and I think is relevant to this discussion.

@RageDarling I’m late on this but all the comments talking about retail endgame: you have to make it through the early game to get there. Both games a different yes, but classic is better at acquiring new players because of its simplicity and reward systems.

After playing Classic for 3+ months straight, I logged onto Retail to level a new character. What I've immediately noticed: 1. They throw spells of all specs at you every level. 2. There's no point in class trainers. 3. Resource management is irrelevant. 4. No walking, mounts from level 1. 5. Currency is incredibly bloated. 6. Immediate flight paths everywhere. I got to level 6 within 10 minutes, I walk to Goldshire and... I'm just bored. Nothing is challenging so nothing is rewarding. I'm actually bored. I'll be back in Classic o7

@Hazzabellaa We lost him boys o7

Ahhh shii here we go again… Return to mythic raiding and doing splits..

@hazard1985 Exactly! Always!

@JustRussTV believers always win right
