The single biggest issue holding back FFXIV needs to be specifically addressed.

I mean i though that the lag on COD Black Ops was bad or even Modern Warfare 3 now i would prefer that lag to this

....wrong thread bro.

[Ventus]

I support this thread wholeheartedly. Even though Im sure the development staff is fully aware of this it should take huge priority over most everything else IMO.

Good post =)

Maybe we can expect more servers when we start paying? It would be harder for them to have to host servers in other countries as well until they are actually pulling in revenue, no?

[Darrkness]

I don't think they will fix it until we have to pay our monthly fee.

Same here. I don't think it'll survive much longer without the money.

if that what it takes then by all means! i'm more than willing to pay for it or even have a donate button as long as i know that the money is going straight to fixing the game

That's a good idea. They could have an optional SE supporter paid subscription option. Give something small to those who contribute like +100 anima. SE is doing really bad financially and I'd rather support XIV developement than see them shut down the game completely.

besides the sooner they make it p2p the sooner the population can be thinned out to serious players.. yes i know that the population is sparse as is but some of you have to admit that most of the players are bored kids who don't care about the game or the story lore

yeah it was already talked about earlier in the thread.. =)

Ahahaha. I used to wonder why I'd be seeing folks hoping from place to place around me like a dysfunctional rabbit.

I am, of course, talking about the horrid Server/Client relationship in Eorzea. These things happen to a very small extent in any online game, but to nowhere near the extremity of in FFXIV. All frustrating occurrences to say the least, and I think I'm being pretty kind phrasing it that way.

I've given nearly a year of leeway waiting for this to be fixed. It's crippling to all facets of gameplay, and quite frankly it's pretty darn embarrassing. All the content in the world won't make the game enjoyable if this has to be tolerated, and I shudder to think of the amplified effects it will have when we're moving at Chocobo speeds.

Every patch we hear about the 'server upgrades/optimizations', when are you going to get to the one that truly matters?

I hear ya man, but I think this is the single biggest thing holding back XIV: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...r-of-Jobs-Devs

Server/client optimisation is number 2 on my list.
