Live Letter Alpha rubber-banding and lag

No offense but devs only care about (technical) alpha feedback from people in the alpha, not people watching a youtube stream

I guess what I'm really trying to say is...whats the point of the thread? wish I could sage

he wasn't assuming he was relaying info that Yoshi and the dev rep's have told us. They are currently fixing these issues for the next test, if it does well they will send the code to the other regional servers, patch them, then open up for global alpha. If it fails they extend it till the issue is fixed. This has been stated on the forums by the rep's and yoshi, already. So there is no assumptions. there has been a message relay to inform the ill informed. again a gd Boy who cried wolf thread. This as already been addressed by Yoshi and the team, on the forums and the live letter. We don't need 15 more of these threads. find your answers before asking something you assume is not known.

If you can link or tell me where in the live letter they talk about it I would appreciate it. For now I'll just take your word for it. Anyways, this thread is just pointing something out that irks me. I want to love FFXIV just like everyone here, that's why I point these things out.

Yeah, I'm sure you were the only one who noticed that too. I mean, I guess them sitting there on the game themselves couldn't be accurate as a cryptic observation via a live webfeed. You're so insightful. lol

Q27: When can overseas players join the Alpha Test?
A27: The first phase of the Alpha Test has been completed, and we have managed to solve almost all of the issues when player numbers increase. We've made it possible to safely run the game with 800 people in a single area, but once it the area exceeds 800 people we've seen some heavy lag. Next week will not have an Alpha Test and we'll be focusing on fixing this. The week after if we are able to hold five days of tests with no issues, we will open Alpha globally on 11/26.

Just because I'm sure they noticed it doesn't tell me they're going to spend more money and resources fixing it.

Why don't you go and read the live letters because they mention server stability all the time. They mentioned that currently you can play with (3 digit number) people on the screen with no lag, but after that there are some complications that they are working on fixing. What Xmbei is saying is that there is no point in splitting hairs about trivial things that have already been acknowledged and are being fixed. If you're going to provide feedback, at least make it useful.

Exactly what I wanted to see. Every other post is just talk. Thank you.
