You dont feel mp management because you play in a full party. You are 30%. the other 70% that have a life and work, felt it. If the basic thing as animations bug, doesn't affect you, I feel sorry for you. It's like you go to a restaurant and order a pizza and it comes with a hair from who knows where. You just put the hair aside and eat the pizza, since it still taste like pizza right?

See, considering I actually work in this industry I'm not bothered by "roughness" as I see it every day when I go to work on projects early in development so I know how roughness can be, especially when it's stated. People complained about animation lock as well as having to stop to switch modes -- The adjustment they did not only took away the animation lock, but you don't stop anymore, which means they simply didn't add in the new animation for it -- It's pretty clear it was to get the mechanic in then adjustments come later, again as stated. The shield issue is a long standing issue which I'm pretty sure they'll get around to fixing as they're obviously focusing on animations.

I don't see this kind of roughness and jagged nature in FFXI, a product I pay monthly for, so clearly while this game is free to play and pretty much going under an overhaul, it's to be expected they'll do things in phases.

The difference here compared to the pizza scenario, is that the pizza joint didn't tell me to expect a hair in the pizza, whereas SE stated certain things, most specifically the AA system, will feel rough.

Yeah, I am sure it is much easier to enjoy standing around waiting for the mp bar to refill when other people keep the kills and cures coming in the meantime.

In B4 "this is an MMO you should never ever ever solo!"

Make a party of 8, full gear and full lvl to show us a video of it getting owned in a dungeon isn't what I call test.

Edit'ed my post above, take a look.

It won't help you however, you're apparently angry.

Moonwalking is a bit undeserved as there is no such animation. Moon walking is 1337. However, this is still an issue needing fix, but I doubt it went unnoticed by the devs.

And those "40 SE games" haven't seen the PS3 > PC built/optimization problems the devs have had to adjust to for XIV.

Yes, the only difference is that I gave a leap of faith to SE Since I always respected the company and admired their products because of it's quality, which made me spend $80 in a CE PLUS $100 in 6 months gameplay. All in advance. I don't see that money coming back to me despite being stated the quality of the game is poor. Stated by their management.now, if it would, I would shut my mouth and move on. Since I paid all that, I want everything to be smooth and not rough as stated.

Complaining about Moonwalking? REALLY? Not only does it feel awesome, they said it would be fixed anyway. This is 'tarded.

Who said that? Bet you didn't get the CE. it comes with an extra DVD stating that this MMO,, will be solo friendly, will let you play all classes and mix them. MMO's are not something to play solo, and that's why I never gave my money to any of them. But this one came with a different proposal, because it's 21st century and yes, lack of time is our worst enemy. So that's why I and 70% others boarded it.

I did buy the CE Noir...

Sorry, I have just heard a lot of people say that my problem is I like to log in and solo a bit. I am glad you do not agree with that.

Lol, if it's broken, shouldnt even be released like that, don't you agree? My point isn't about moonwalking, but that they doesn't seem to test the patches before releasing it. Moonwalking is just a consequence of that, plus all the unbalance this patch brought.

My bad. Thought that last Frase was written by you. "Mmos are not suppose to play solo."

no, it is just something people have been saying... which is too bad.
