well the COR update is bad considering they opened the floor to suggestions and stated they wanted "The XI effect to give a bonus to COR and his party members" If you look back on those threads there were plenty of reasonable suggestions that far out par what they just did to the job, not to mention this really don't give a bonus to the other party members at all, meaning they still won't be wanted for anything other than Wildfire brews.

And I put the 'wanted' like so because I still find them very useful, but for some reason a lot of people say the job is worthless and that NIN/DNC/THF > PLD (which isn't true at all)

And yeah this was a pretty pathetic update, waste of resources and time if you ask me, oh and what's with the SAM ability that clearly rips off Dancers everywhere? Good job SE...

I bolded it for you, in case you missed it the first time.

Windower and windowed are not the same thing. I guess you mistakenly put windower when you meant to put windowed the first time. ;3

If content keeps moving away from abyssea, which it is pld cor and brd will come back in to play at endgame. Do they get auto-invites to exp anymore not really but are they turned away from exp no. You didn't see cor outside of exp much back at 75 except in fights that a) you need 2hours reset b) events with waves of targets were the attack boost, DA, and more refresh for the mages were needed. Once Voidwatch starts getting gear most of the player base wants then you'll see brd and cor come back in since we won't have the 15 tic auto refresh for mages.

COR and PLD are great inside Voidwatch. Anyone who is saying NIN, DNC, THF are better tanks in Voidwatch havent done it.

Cor does great dmg in there with wildfire as well as giving great buffs.

Plus, you really need to be objective and realize this was only a MINI update. If this was MAJOR update then yes, it would be lackluster. Or would you rather you have to go back to the way it was before and wait 3-4 months for minor changes?

Sokaku was very excited to report one of the most exciting announcements made during the summit:
Quick Trip Reveals Official Windower!

If "official windower" is good enough to be linked from SE's own site, then it's good enough for me.

You want proof? When they added level sync automations would disappear when you sync. So they had a specific patch to fix the problem. Servers came up. Level sync, automation disappeared. Later they patched it again, in patch notes it said to fix problem with automations disappearing when you level sync.
After patch, level sycn, automations disappeared.

Now if you did a specific patch to fix that problem, wouldn't you go onto test server, get a puppet, and another job, and level sync. That had to be one of the easiest patch tests. So they didn't just no test it once, they didn't test it twice.

So no, They do not test their patches, we have seen this over the past 10 years, very obvious things that woudl have took seconds to test directly related to the patch they have implemented and would have pointed out issues. I can't see how anyone can think they properly test their patches. How ignorant are some of you?

Things don't always work exactly as you intend them to, even if you try them with a test-environment, unexpected things happen when you toss it all together, human-errors happen, and so on and on.

I just can't see it not happening. It would be amazingly ludicrous to implement new code without any testing, absolute terror even! Just like you say: "You never release live code without testing it, if you do, you find yourself looking for another job."
Obviously I can't say for sure since I do not work for them, so my guess is as good as yours is in the end, and I don't think I am being any more ignorant than you are.

And the argument that if you think you can do better, then go ahead. That is such a dumb argument.

Never meant that as an argument, don't take it so seriously. ^^;

And don't say they are short in staff so they can't give the same quality of service, because if this is true, then we shouldn't be paying for the same quality of service we got 8 years ago. We should pay for what we get, if they are runnign a skeleton crew with no intention of putting in any real effort then the monthly fee should be dropped to 6.99

OK I wont say that, but I will say that you should not pay them at all, if you really are so utterly disappointed. I hope you're at least enjoying the game, when you are able to play it.
I would certainly enjoy a lower price, but would we still be able to receive the service we do now. Now there's a thought, no?


I thank thee for elaborating!
