It seems to only be a problem in Ul`Dah areas, not so much others and especially not Gridania camps.

And at the same time there are many camps left completely empty come behest time. Hopefully this will encourage people to spread out more.

I suggest you study 3D graphics animation, and basic game design, before you even try to say anything as pretentious as this.

Seriously. If there's one thing that I dislike in most MMOs, it's people with high post counts that don't actually know what the hell they're talking about.

Wow... someone needs a cup of chill the F*** out lol...

WHY? I was glad the exclamation points where on the map/mini map only, why over the heads? If you want to make it easier why not just have them all visible on the city map??? :S

Humm.. the exclamation mark has been over the heads already. But as soon as you accepted the quest, it disappeared. What they say here is that once you meet the objectives of the quest, the ! will appear again to let you know that you need to talk to the NPC to finish it.

if there are people in charge that are that rude maybe this game should die sad to say, i loved it but hard to say if it keeps going the way it is good thing isn't the only mmo out there

No chocobos, nor adjustments of point allotment effectiveness, nor new storyline, nor something that remotely resembles an endgame, nor r50 equip. We get stones near Maisenta removed (yay, they removed crappy stones in a ghost city!) and shiny-new r30 equipment tho...

Then actually program all that into the game. That precess takes more then 2 mnths tyvm.

Sounds about right for a full length movie or even an old-school PS1 cutscene. Except those techniques have been improved with modern graphics hardware. Game cutscenes are made with in-house engine tools that manipulate pre-made animations. These animations are used along with the storyboard to create a real-time cutscene. There is no need to pre-render unless the cutscene is spectacularly over the system requirements.

Not if most guildleves in the game remain as a waste of time, no. I doubt the Broken Water congestion is going away any time soon.
