Tanaka....p-please...come home...we miss you

no please no

[nyheen]

no please no

once he left things became broken because of no balance

[casual]

Sad to say that I'd actually take Tanaka style FFXI back in a heart beat at this point. The model we're currently heading towards simply doesn't work with the skeleton crew we have updating FFXI.

Have we seriously reached the "drunk dialing" phase, at long last?

Tanaka had a shitty sense of balance too, just in different ways. Neither this nor how it was before is really how this game should be, nothing should take stupid amounts of time like Mythics, or be as annoying as some of the luck based events which were implemented by him such as NNI or VW. He did better in some respects, but that doesn't mean we should go back to it, we should get something better than both.

And that's the right perspective to take. Luck based sucked hard. VW NNI were and are terrible events. The jobs were really out of balance. Now the jobs are even more out of balance. The content, even just exploring the new zones is a drag. Instead of building an expansion around 99 they built it around Delve and ilvl119.

We've lost the intangible spirit that made FFXI FFXI somewhere between VW and now.

sure some of his things was annoying but it kept people playing way longer. now it just a ghost town because everyone got bored with the only 2 easy events and cap out on almost everything, feels like we really just beat the game. they just pretty much throwing easy to get over power gear without even trying much.

I hope Tanaka never leads any other team for gaming purposes.

Things may be going to shit but if you want Tanaka back on the job, you're drinking something awfully strong.

Don't worry, they'll clean it all up just fine once you've vacated the office. May take them awhile to fix things, but it'll be done eventually.

Nope, you were wrong, as a matter of fact they just about destroyed the game
