Interim Report – Sorry to keep you all waiting!

[SNK]

All I know is that I leveled BST to 75 pre-abyessa and it was probably the most fun I'd had in this game in ages. It was one of the few jobs where you could just log in, pick and go exp without seeking for parties. I know a lot people bagged on the job back then but it really was a versatile machine. The job if anything taught me how to manage my hate since Snarl didn't exist and helped in learning the system of monster corralation in general.

A lot of posts I've read have been a lot of what I'd say is stemmed up anger over the years which I can easily see since I've had a few times where I've loosed some profanity on a critical failed charm or linking something which usually meant my death.

This new producer is something I consider a real breath of fresh air and I'm happy with what he's said so far despite the amount of rude and angry posts people have made in his direction. Give the guy a chance folks, He's the new person at the helm and I think he deserves a fair chance.


P.S. Walk of Echos currency exchange NPC prz! ; ;

GASP! You mean you had fun PRE ABBY!?! According to many on this forum, that is just not possible. ;3 Heck you even did it without the fast rate of exp that the game offers today and you enjoyed it.

I do like the new developer however. He has impressed me thus far much more then anyone who has managed the game since WoTG. Off topic wise: From various quotes and internet news stories, I am finding out more and more regarding Tanaka... in his involvement in FFXI post WoTG, but that is another subject. I thought he was the man in control then but his name was just for show. I'll health and work on 14 kept his activites in 11 minimal at best.

Yeah, the animosity towards the new guy is something that I really do not get. At worst, nobody knows what he's going to do because he hasn't had a chance to do anything yet due to the crazy-nuts long development cycle of each updates. At best, he really was sitting at his desk and had the thought, "Whoa, bros, let's hold up this change to Perfect Defense and Embrava until the new SPs are done!" which seems pretty good to me.

Do some people just think the FFXI development office is a rotten barrel that ruins every apple in it?

I think most people rightfully suspect that if his ideas differed too much from the previous boss, that the previous boss would have canned him by now. Some people can fake like they share the corporate vision for long enough to rise in the ranks and get themselves into a position where they can act on the ideas that they repressed all the way to the top, but most people will be assimilated. Borg out.
