It's easy, really easy for someone who's job it is to do this stuff every day. It's not a matter of difficulty as to why it's not been changed it's a matter of the bossman giving the green light to actually let someone do it.He's not sticking up for SE... it's a common fallacy that coding is easy and quick, and anyone can do it better then the guys actually doing it.
There's a Dutch saying: "The best helmsmen are on shore." (De beste stuurlui staan aan wal.)

That was a player concern, a pretty irrelevant one if I may say so myself. SE replied they're currently looking into ways to fix it. Although seeing how "currently" was almost nine months ago, one can only wonder whether or not they've determined it wasn't possible and have given up on it. Unless that's the case, they're still working on it.

I heard they were updating Rajas/Tamas/Sattva rings too...
...ten months ago. Even though I suspect this would not be a very difficult fix for competent programmers, I think that the Rajas/Tamas/Sattva thing would practically be just changing constants in their code. If they can't even do that . . . well, at least your menus look different than they did before.(2)
02-11-2012 06:16 AM #5I would guess it's also an issue of sending them spelunking into a deep dark cave of unfamiliar and poorly commented code. Code that was written more with performance in mind rather than for clarity and modular expansion for years to come. That's just a hunch though.

Why do I get a very bad feeling about this? What rule adjustments are needed to fix a mechanic that was broken on release 10 years ago?

I know the dev team is stretched thin with expansion/jobs/SPs/etc, but seeing as though these things were brought up over a year ago would be nice to hear if the dev team still like these ideas (and want to do something but havent had a chance for w/e reason) or they decided not to.

As I stand looking out from my mog house window, I reminisce about the old days and the many ups and downs of my adventures throughout Vana'diel.
It is then that I know achievement.

Not sure what the mess of code looks like in FFXI, but it seems like a simple "if" statement before readying the WS would handle it. We can live with a nerfed blau dolche and maneater if we have to. I'm sure I'm wrong but I wish I wasn't. Appreciate the update though!
P.S. fix cruor buffs on DC as well thanks!(0)Last edited by Cowardlybabooon; 02-14-2012 at 05:27 AM.
