Chocobo racing ..... Seriously

Out of all the things that actually need to be fixed or added and the development team chooses to waste their time on this.....

Japanese I'm sure. Seems they will do everything we don't. Cultural differences at work.

To be honest, I would have much rather had Pankration and Zeni to have been adjusted. Reason being for in game purposes of much more important matters... (Such as completing Mythic weapons, killing more Pandemonium Wardens and becoming Pokémon Champion.)

Well, I would hope that changing the limit from 24 to 20 hours didn't require any more work on their part than changing a 4 to a 0(more or less). It's not like that would be intensive enough to take away from other projects.

Basically this. It's an extremely minor fix, and it's actually extremely helpful for anyone who actually cares about chocobo racing (not saying that I do, or know anyone who does). Having a sub-24 hour limitation on races means you're able to do things at approximately the same time of day, like when you get back from work or somesuch.

24hr limitations in practice inevitably lead to constantly pushing back the time you're allowed to do something, eventually to the point where it's too late to be viable and you have to skip a day to reset it.

This is a TREMENDOUS waste of man power that could be spent on other, more important things and the ammout it's been lowered virtualy changes nothing. This adjustmens accomplishes nothing.

Like it takes so much work to change a 24 to a 20 on the server code somewhere.

Yeah this is nothing to get worked up about.

No one cared before about chocobo racing, no one will care after.

oh gimme a break. it took a MASSIVE amount of dev time to change one timer from 24 hours to 20.[/sarcasm]

With the massive spaghetti coding mishap that is Final Fantasy XI, I'm sure even changing the 4 to a 0 in the Chocobo Racing code will cause massive detrimental side effects like somehow making cures deal 99,999 damage or making Vrtra spawn outside KRT. Oh wait.

Yeah bitches! Always hated having to do my racing later and later each day. Time to tear up the tracks hardcore!

It actually does make a difference for anyone that races. Your just upset because its not an update that pertains to what YOU want.
Get over yourself.

I would rather SE make a vote of the things they want to fix/implement and let US vote on it. We wouldn't see stuff like stupid chocobo racing

It would probably take more time to put the chocobo racing timer fix to a vote than it would to just do it. And in the unlikely event that it doesn't, the dev team is made of smelly galkas who are bad and should feel bad ;)

Even simple small upgrades are always a plus for someone somewhere who plays this game. After all we all have varing degress of why we play this game and what we do with it. So not to bad a update. Makes me want mess with choco racing more just for shiggels.

Seriously, does everyone I see whining about this think that they spent countless hours and monies changing one single thing about Chocobo Racing? Something as small as a time restriction? And do you think this is the only thing that will be going into the update? Morons, the lot.

Well, It took SE 5 years to adjust the BP:Ward range and that is a single number as well. Spirits also haven't had their recast adjusted, and that is 10 years of waiting. Single number changes are the kind of stuff that takes ages to do, so it really is a big deal when it is "wasted" on unpopular content.

It shouldn't be a big deal and take years though. But SE doesn't seem able to work efficiently.

More like SE for whatever reason doesn't bother until they feel that it's a right time to change it.

Or maybe they just don't give a shit about spirit recast timers.

And apparently not a shit about Blood Pacts either. Unless you are selective and just read what you want to read.

Difference being they've fixed those. I'm sure adjusting the range of your buffs by a few yalms was such a hard hitting and intricate decision that it took countless manhours and the help of NASA's top agents to figure it out.

Hint: No one else seems to care about it but you.
