Moogles, Mog Houses and "Storage" II

[Sp1cyryan]

You realize the first time they said they would give us MH storage access was over one year ago already? And to a lot of us, MH and inventory space is a real issue, and having to go back to your home nation is simply inconvenient. Easier than it used to be, sure - but still inconvenient.

It would have been better if they had said they would look into it, but never actually said they'd do it. I somehow don't think this is a monumental task that will take weeks to fix.

It is like taking a break from writing a thesis to go look at the butterflies outside for an hour.
It doesn't take but a few minutes to get to the storage as it is.

SE took years to even add alexander and odin (and let's not forget about how long the forgotten atomos will be). They typically take that long formost things. This should not even remotely be a surprise to everyone who starts getting upset over something pretty silly in the first place.

Imagine if /displayhead took a long time. Oh the riots we would be having over that!

Personally I couldn't care less about /displayhead, or Atomos and Cait Sith for that matter. This however, is important to me, and the fact that we have to wait so long just baffles me.

And I'm not upset, I'm annoyed. And a tad disappointed.

Baffled? You have watched SE operate for a longer period of time than most people.

There really should not be any surprise. They will get to it when they get to it. Even if it only takes a couple of hours I would still rather they work on the countless other additions to the game.

The reason it is important to you is because you can not gear all 20 jobs with the space SE gives you and this does not fix that because you still just have to use repatriation from the book or VW warp right near the gate for storage you already have.

Didn't they mentioned they can still add another mog sack like storage area? I don't remember the exact wording.

I am so bitterly pessimistic that I'm just glad to hear that increased storage accessibility is still in the plans.

At the same time, the time apparently needed to make a simple change like this makes me almost feel bad for the current Development Team. I can only imagine that FFXI's code requires Satanic arts most foul and the leavings of a baby Godzilla to actually add something new, if a change of this caliber is something that must be scheduled. The amount of disemboweled cats and burned Godzilla poop that pile up as the expansion is developed must be staggering...and smelly.

I have no plans to gear all 20 jobs, as I don't play them all. In fact, out of those 20 jobs only 6 are fully geared, and another 3 are adequately geared.

With all the little tweaks and changes SE has made to the game lately for the sake of convenience (for example testimonies that can be used 3 times, warping to BC areas, the weighted doors in QSC, the first limit break quest items, Garlaige doors, etc etc) I don't see why giving us access to MH storage from anywhere couldn't have been implemented by now.

I'm going with they haven't figured out how to replicate the bug that caused storage to be accessible from anywhere after they "fixed" it so long ago.

I think the games code occasionally gets a will of its own, and tries to better the game, then SE comes back and has to screw it up... Sometimes, bugs aren't really bad, they are unintentional improvements, like that one we had with Einherjar a bit back, but then it was "fixed" and now, its worse.
