well i can imagine that the system may have been way better if they didn't fail at launch and also the same issues they talk about in this thread with the engine or whatever. it was implemented badly, it diid not need to be removed, just like 15man groups didn't need to be removed, none of it needed removing, it needed fixing. it all got removed cause the failed launch handed power over to tools that shouldn't even have a say in what our mmo's look like.Quote:

Heck, Blade and Soul takes what Vindictus does and blows it out of the water and then some! (CBT2 player here) and THAT game uses the keyboard!
.....oh the woes of wishful thinking......
Why couldn't Yoshi just expand on what was there and try to figure out simple solutions to simple problems instead of removing what was deemed good by reviewers? (The armoury system and battle system were praised) <-- those could have been expanded on instead of removed completely and called a "fix" to the game.. That's not "fixing"... taking something, expanding on it, and making it BETTER is fixing. -
09-07-2011, 07:03 AMVivikMy system more than meets the required system information for running this game. As a matter of fact my video card was the "recommended" card for this game ( Nvidia Gforce GTX 460). I did research before the game was released and the game actually played fine for us for about a month after launch. After an update our frame rates went to shit and in town we get about 4fps.Quote:

There is nothing wrong with my machine. I can play just about anything on max with little to no lag. It's SE shit engine that is the problem.
Just to add my PC scored over 4k on the benchmark on full HD (been a while can't remember the settings) I don't really know what else we could have done to research anymore information. -
09-07-2011, 07:58 AMGeesusSo then it's the XIV updates (doubt it but asking anyways) or the NVIDIA driver update from I think 2 weeks or so ago? I have read and personally cannot explain why you all are having that issue. I did my updates from Nvidia and have no issues. And since others such as myself don't have issues, what makes you think SE is the cause? If it happened to EVERYONE, absolutely I'd totally agree and would be just as upset. So then you have to ask, "Did my update fail or get corrupted or is something on my machine the cause. Maybe, it's the drivers themselves on certain cards OR manufacturers of those cards" Just saying not pointing fingures at you/wife or Nvid OR SE. I deal with this type of stuff all day long so I'm just throwing stuff out there for you to try and assist.Quote:

Assuming someone brings up Tanaka again, do you honestly think things would've been any better he he had another year to develop things? He was the most hard headed dev out there, he has never listened to player concerns. And sadly, unless there's a huge push for an all raid game with no hard core content at all over on the JP forums, then yoshi is following the same path.Quote:

I actually had installed the updates hoping to get some better frame rates but had to roll the driver back because of a heat problem after using the driver. I have no idea what "broke" the game for us but I remember the update, it was when they fixed the "ticking" sky and moved it to a smooth animation. Like I said, it was a long time ago. Just have not bothered to play but once a week or so just to log in and see it's still broken.Quote:

Seem's like it's gonna get better and we all know it wont compare to FFXI but it be as close to that.
btw FFXI is getting a new soundtrack and 2 new avatars! cant wait. -
09-07-2011, 08:31 AMFeliciaTotally agree here. I find it funny that some people seem to think devs like to seriously mess with the core gfx engine between patches. Sure they might tweak things here and there, but I doubt they are making serious changes that cause your FPS to go from playable to unplayable.Quote:

What about malware and other software issues?
Personally, I'm glad the PCs have become more accessible (price and stability) in the last decade or so. However there's a reason why it used to take a good bit of knowledge and patience to properly troubleshoot issues (thinks back to VIA chipsets *shudders*). -

Absolutely. This thread gets two thumbs up

09-07-2011, 08:34 AMMuruganI think after 1.19 that yes I would have been happy with its state had it released like that.Quote:
