As it stands right now, they push it live for the world to see, then admit their mistake when people don't like it, and backpedal. This is why people are so frustrated with this game right now.

---

Wrong. They push it out as soon as it is functional because the game is better off that way. Not everyone is going to like the changes, and testing won't change that fact.

There's a reason why beta testing starts so late in a game development's lifespan (read: when the features are functional).

There needs to be a test environment. Dungeons should not go live before community testing, game changing mechanics should not go live before community testing. They are leaving us in the dark and we have no way of giving Square any kind of constructive feedback until the walls are already painted.

---

You just said they are implemented when deemed functional. There is absolutely no point in testing them before that, aside from bugs. You are contradicting yourself.

They release them as soon as they can be tested. The walls are not painted.

It's like if you're making a dinner for a group of people but you're inexperienced (I think SE has oddly proved their lack of experience, especially with Yoshi-P) with cooking, you put something together and taste it. But unless you have a proven good taste (Square doesn't), you'll probably want a second outside opinion before sending your dinner out to a bunch of people. It sure would suck to make that dinner and find out the meat wasn't done well enough for half the people or something, wouldn't it?

---

Analogues... great. Just great.

The dinner isn't ready when they send it out for second opinion. It's not just a bunch of ingredients either. It's at the point where you can actually taste the flavour, but it's still slightly raw.

This is why analogues are crap. You don't compare a meal to an MMORPG without missing the obvious.

And you know who is the main audience and who are the guinea pigs testing? The 30k or so players have no better purpose, might as well use them. The food needs to be ready for the real audience. You are not a part of it. You are a paid beta tester playing the game voluntarily, regardless of what you think, for all intents and purposes.

that's kind of hard part about Japanese.
Suguni demo daseru youni ganbarimasu - すぐにでも出せるようにがんばります = will try out best to release as soon as possible
Ima Sugu ni daseru ka kentou chyuu desu - 今すぐにでも出せるように検討中です = Are looking into it if we can release it right away (now)

same word but can be used differently with how it's put into the sentence with the word coming before/after.
Try using Excite translator that one sees to do the job pretty good on JP to English, at least you'll get the general idea. Only problem with translators like this one is they have regular JP terms but anything in Katakana (English words/terms in Japanese without actual Japanese name) Example: Hamburger is Hamba-ga- in Japanese. and most computer terms, gaming terms are Katakana those normally screw up the translators. Or some good ones skip them by adding (..skipperd word...} on them but that also can cause problems with whole sentence structure after translation.

Man im laughing so hard right now.

I think it's fair to say they made a mistake to be put in a situation where that would happen. That ahriman might be a patrol or something they should avoid.

exactly. Tha ahriman seems a patrol, since isn't even targetable. Don't have the name :X

Seems that the above posters already got it covered.

Either way, you still don't get it do you. If that 8k damage was a common occurrence and unavoidable, that makes the developers incompetent because they can't design content around the game mechanics they have created. Changing the game mechanics won't make them any less incompetent.

Thats the impression I get as well. They failed to meet a certain criteria and as punishment - they died.

あらためて、「コンフィグなどの設定により、ターゲットロックはONでカメラロックはOFF」という設定の実装が可能かどうかを開発チームに確認したところ、パッチ1.18よりも後のパッチになってしまいますが、カメラの見直しとあわせ対応しますとのことでした。
I once again checked with the dev team if it's possible to "have target lock on, but camera lock off in config settings". It will be post 1.18 patch but we are going to work on this along along with other camera changes.

もう少々お時間をいただくことになりますが、実装までお待ちいただければと思います。
It may be some more time but please wait a bit more for release on this one.

---

Good...they needed to take care of this for real... it really really really pissed me off on some battles like that Plant NM in the bushes/shrubs w/e take off target lock... (b4 I get smart a** comments lol yep you can pull it to open field but was too lazy for that, i should be able to fight anywhere i want.)

Thanks for your continued efforts Reinheart!

Not going to post this on OP list of translations.
There is one more response on JP Rep but it's not really relevant for this forum; some troll threads or threads that got taken over by trolls changing the discussion by posting negative comments about the dev team members, or this game. Now the trolls started a thread why are threads getting deleted thread... it's really stupid... the rep responded he will check with the forum moderator about it but he wont close the thread telling the trolls to get a life... err I mean he told the trolls that this forum is for feedbacks for in-game issues, any updates coming, ideas/suggestions not for negative comments towards the company, the devs, or bashing down the game to make others feel negative.

Good work man.

Any chance of getting a translation of the chat log in the new dungeon video? Or maybe just pick out a few interesting things, idk ^^

Lemme try check, already saw the vid 3 times to check anything new but wasn't paying attention to the log lol.

Nothing special really from the logs; only part I got is the Arliman's name is All Seeing Eye.

0:14 - Cannot start dzemael darkhold. You have not completed quest (but next message shows entering, so probably something during game testing, wouldn't look too much into this one.)

0:27 - All seeing Eye is preparing circle range attack = later on when he wipes the party with 8k damage, same message appears right before so this must be the warning people need to watch out for.

0:29 - Madou (magic) terminal started, gentle breath starts coming through

Rest of the video is same thing repeat for the terminals, and the abilities, magic spells are all II and III, looked up on YG to see if it's something already in game since I'm only 39 PUG and haven't played with same rank mages or w/e... anyways YG shows them already for R40ish so they are nothing new (at least from looking just at log.)

Yoshida be postan'

Cool, thanks.

I remember reading that there will be a quest completion requirement, maybe they just built those characters without doing quests.

Bahhh I have to take care of some work crap first, ill translate them in a bit unless Renta and them beat me :)

Here's this was short easy one.
There is a thread in the JP side (Marc started) where people post ideas for traps, methods to clearing + new instance ideas and YoshiP likes it.

Original Thread Link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/15310

Started it's own thread with Marc's idea: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/16026

パッチ1.18のインスタンスレイドの企画と仕様には間に合いませんでしたが、
次回のインスタンスレイドのデザインの際に、参考にさせて頂きますね！＾＾
Thanks for the awesome thread!
Didn't make it to the 1.18 patch instance raid but for next instance raid design ideas, will definitely use your examples! ^^

---

パッチ1.18ではインスタンスレイド対応のため、先行クラスバランス調整としてレイズとケアルに調整が入ります。
レイズの習得ランクが変更されていますのでご安心を。思う存分レイズしてください :p
With the 1.18 patch instance raid addition we will make class balances and raise and cure will be modified. Rank required for raise will be change so don't worry. Please use as much raise as you want :p

---

10/char - ok boss gonna kill me LOL

why not just wait for the release before starting all this... lol
YoshiP didn't say there is a backup plan for people without raise, their still may be possibility there is some type of instance temporary home point if you die you start from there where it's safe for recovery. The eye mob throughout the dungeon could be non targetable mob but just a npc flying around. Look at the video again carefully (look at the map and the eye and icon color indicating the eye) If you do it right you can get to the end where you might be able to weaken the eye to kill it without getting the 8k damage. It's all about the route you take and strategy you put into it.

Or maybe avoid it.. You know? If dungeons is all about plummeting everything inside, guess who is gonna whine again? Lol.. Also, where did you get info that wipe means game over? We could restart at starting point or check point for all we know, but no i dont know and neither is you. Also, stop derailing one of the few good threads.

Again, thanks for your effort Reinhart, much appreciated.

Its not really strategy and tactics when you've learnt the pattern, its just routine. Like Dynamis became, and then it becomes just a mundane feature that has zero challenge or purpose.

And it's not even about zerging, those guys didnt zerg, and almost had 10 mins left by that orge lol cutting it close.

Guess I'll just wait and see it but I still find it very retarded. But hey thats my opinion.

Everything becomes routine when you have already figure the strategy out lol, nothing in FFXI was challenging after people has done it a few times, although Salvage is one of the best one around becuase it has so many path and objectives which keeps people busy trying to discover the secret for months, which hopefully is what they are tying to achieve.

Maybe the eye doesn't take the same path every time? Let us wait and see before slinging poop at it.

All the talks about the instance raid should go here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-the-Darkhold

OK to talk little about what I translated but don't start full on discussion in here please; create a new post for it or post in existing thread about it. Some people might come in here to check for translation every time they see new post been posted in here :P

No offense... But every fight, ever, in the history of video games has been learning the patterns.

If it was random everytime and did not 1shot but did cause a threat it would be much better imo. I never once mentioned anything about it "flying around randomly"

My opinion is clear.
"I don't like that it just instant kills you and that challenge is only there during your first time (learning curve) then its gone as it becomes routine."

I also don't like that just because someone dies that classifies them as shit at the game.

There may be ways to avoid it, or prevent it, such as Odin in XI, which I'll accept, but right now, from that video, and what its perceiving is that it comes along and 1shots you, end of story. I am disliking something that is being clearly shown right in-front of us.

Maybe I have way to high expectations for SE to do something new where it just seems like they are falling back onto basic stuff and things they know, which is all welcomed but I was hoping for something new, not the same experience I can get in any other game.

---

I'm going to enjoy the dungeon anyway.

Thx Reinheart.

I'm curious about the skills/spells rank/class adjustments (and how many adjustments will we see in 1.18).

This is kinda linked to the Job system, as they might switch some spells/skills around to make some jobs make more sense with the class that unlocks them (like BLM and WHM).

I just deleted all my posts regarding the dungeon discussion that has nothing to do with Reinhearts translations. So I'd ask anyone else to delete theirs as well to keep this translation topic as clean as possible. Thank you.

ケアルもいいんですがサクリファはどうなるんでしょう？
単体化されると今のHP消費量だとリスク大きすぎる+ケアルやサクリで自己回復の手間を増やすだけでヘイト大きく稼ぎ過ぎてしまい、まったく使えないスキルになってしまいそうですが･･･。
そもそもただリジェネ効果を撒くスキルとまったく別物になるのでしょうか。
ここは1.19以降他のと合わせて変更なんでしょうかね。
OK about Cure but what's going to happen with Sacrifa?
If it becomes single target (no AOE) it causes too much risk to amount of HP loss + wouldn't it accumulate more hate by trying to cure yourself with cure and sacrifa and become useless skill... Will it be a different skill where it has regen effect. (he's talking about sacrifa spell)
I guess that's something going to be looked into after 1.19.

---

レイズ系/ケアル系は習得ランクだけでなくスキル追加もMPコストも含め調整が入っています。
敵視（ヘイト）もそもそものアルゴリズムに大幅に修正が入りますので、色々お試しください＾＾
詳細はパッチリリース前に、現在絶賛編集中のパッチノートを通じてお知らせします！
Spell like Raise/Cure; not only the learning rank (rank you learn the spell) but there is also adjustments to additional skill and MP cost.
There will be a major change in hate algorithm so please try different things ^^
For more details; will release patch note before the patch release which is being edited write now!


フェニックスの尾の成分を含む蘇生アイテムも登場しますが、
簡単に手に入るかどうかは、さて、どうでしょう… :)
There will be resurrection items that uses/includes phoenix down (成分 Seibun = element/chemical/ingredient so alchemis??), but not sure how easy it will be to obtain... :)

ちなみに今回のインスタンスレイド内に蘇生ポイントやセーフティポイントはありません。
（動画を見ての通り、幾つか鍵となるポイントは存在しますが）
特にゼーメルは開発一同本気難易度ですので、プレイヤーの皆さんもその覚悟でお待ちください:p
Also in this times instance raid there is no check points.
(If you look at the video their are key points/areas)
Dzamael specially is really hard, so hope all you players are prepared for it :p

---

New infoooooooo

thanks rein again

Thanks for the translations Reinheart. From the sound of it we may get patch notes as early as this week! (fingers crossed)

Cheers Reinheart! <3

Only nine more days, woop woop!

Oh please let the down be used by alchemists!

Did not get much of his Cure explaination, is he saying that it will need to be controlled?

Im surprised they went with phoenix down's, they didnt do this in XI, very glad. But I hope Yoshi is not confusing Hard with Annoying.

http://www.famitsu.com/blog/ff14/201...its118722.html found this. Nothing special in it; its saying 1.18 patch releasing in 7/22 (JP) and they are working on new magazine article or something FFXIV related supposed to be released this summer. But if you look at the pic with the hand... :) says Town... something

I guess we'll just have to wait... but thought it's something people might want to talk about from that small pic lol

EDIT:
I guess Eorzea Tsushin is online blog for Famitsu specifically for FFXIV; says in there they have lots of disclosed information they can't release yet.

In that screen there is a tiny image with a sort of tower that remembers me Limsa with kinda new graphics/colors. Or it could be only an art..

Yeah that does look like Limsa in the bottom right, coming into the adventurer's guild from outside or something.

The pics in the top-left are definitely about the dungeon, you can see the blue aura of the teleporters or whatever we've seen in that new video.

I've got no idea at all what the thing on the right is on the green grass, beastman settlement or something?

FeistyCadavers started a thread about having free running where you can run up walls, swing on bars kind of like Assassins Creed and wanted to see if that's possible in FFXIV and got a response, I already knew the answer for the first part without even looking but Rep said something at the end that just confirmed something.

I have discussed this matter about "Going up walls, hanging on bars, or jumping off high areas..." with Yoshida Producer.

コ ンシューマーゲームであればプレイヤーは1人だったり、多くても十数人だったりしますが、MMORPGの場合、たくさんのプレイヤーが存在するため、ご提 案いただいたような勢いで壁をよじ登れるようにしたり、フックを付けたりするなどは難しく、この方向性での拡張は考えていません。
In a MMORPG these things such as going up walls, etc... is not an easy task unlike consumer game where you're solo playing or with only few others 10+ players. We are not planning to expand the game in this direction. (So basically NO)

ただ移 動が単調な部分については、他のスレッドでもコメントをしていますが、パッチ1.19ではチョコボと飛空艇をまずは実装します。そしてその後も移動に関す る問題については継続的に検討を行っていきますので、引き続きフィードバックをお願いいたします。
Except like we commented on other threads about movements, in patch 1.19 we will first release air ship and Chocobo. And we will keep looking into other problems with movements. Please continue to give us your feed backs.

---

I guess its 100% confirmation chocobo for 1.19 then? :D
