Is the amount of hours we're playing being tracked? Will the devs ever add a feature so we know how many hours we have put in, or at least release it through event NPCs?
Or is this too depressing of a feature and should stay unimplemented?

This would be cool to see in the future. When I look at the time played in XI I get this weird sense of gratitude for the creators of that game for giving me a whole another world to live in for all those da... coughmonthscough...ys of my life =)

I don't know back when i played ffxi and saw them numbers it worried me that I had a severe addiction. I spent a whole year logged in evidently lol.

It would be an interesting feature. They could just list it on the Character Select screen, kinda like loading a save in every FF since VI(I think)/Kingdom Hearts game.

Don't add it. Seeing your addiction isn't good. You might rehabilitate by quitting the game.

Yes please!
I was actually really dissappointed when I realised this wasn't in the game at launch! -

08-25-2011, 03:00 AMZenakua lot of people have a lot of gameplay due to being AFK selling so that not much of a issue anyways :)Quote:

I don't see the harm in this, I didn't use it much in XI, but it's always good to check, and fun to know. :)

Some of us don't have very much idle time at all, I might afk to run to the store, but I bet my count's pretty accurate otherwise. Perhaps in the future they could make it so if a character doesn't move for ~10 minutes the clock stops counting, and provides a distinction between play time and idle time?
Example:
You type /playtime and it shows
Play time: 42 days, 7 hours, 6 minutes.
Idle time: 1 day, 4 hours, 17 minutes.
Really though, I'd be fine with just the amount of time we've been logged in. -

I want to see my hours please add this feature.

08-25-2011, 02:41 PMSeifI don't understand how that has anything to do with the suggested feature that you can only see yourself.Quote:

/random or /roll as well
right click functionality as well
/sigh and /slap commands as well -
08-26-2011, 01:31 AMquantumsaintI understand why they didn't include /slap, since the potential for abuse is kind of high, but I agree with the rest.Quote:

We let the dev. team know about your desire to see how much time you've spent playing. They let us know that it might be something they could add on the time widget they're currently looking into implementing (one that shows the real world time in-game).

08-26-2011, 03:51 AMquantumsaint
Thanks, Bay. You the Morbol.
-
08-26-2011, 05:02 AMNixiusYES! in game real world time =D. Thanks Bay, the bringer of good news =PQuote:

They can make a time widget, but can't make a temp. kick command for LS's.... ;\ I'm just being bitter..
-
08-26-2011, 05:11 AMZenakuThey can but they said they better of remaking the system all together then working on the system they have not and then just delete and rebuild it lol.Quote:

That's all we need, a stupid kick command...it would be nice to have a invite command, but the kick command would be the bare essential...Quote:

I think the issue is crystal tool then top of that they ended up buying cheap servers. That they can't even give us more room to hold item due to the HDD that hold our char would be too much lol. They can't even add sign item from friends.Quote:

08-26-2011, 05:28 AMDelsusWhen there was the post about being unable to give us bigger bags due to the size of HDDs, meant that it would require too many constant upgrades I would expect, think about it, lets say for the sake of argument all characters currently on all servers need 2TBs of serverside data, then come ps3 release the population increases 5 times, that would need 10TBs, then every year for 3 years the population doubles they would need 20TBs, then 40TBs, then 80TBs.Quote:

08-26-2011, 05:39 AMZenakuOh i can understand the cost but when they release this game they had p2p in mind. What if they had so many people playing and the game was good? and they had low HDD space i mean i don't know why they would start with such cheap on a AAA MMO.Quote:

I played the game a lot at release and beta even due to all the issue knowing they could fix it and so far looking good. I looking forward too the core system/servers fix/update the most then anything that and job updates ;) -
08-26-2011, 06:42 AMDelsusThey will probably give us bigger bags if the game ends up producing enough revenue to warrent HDD upgrades, but right now it isnt and there isnt any indecation if, when it goes p2p, they will get the money to warrent it, it all depends on if they can turn it around.Quote:

I loved /playtime back when i played FFXI.
It was so nice to be able to see how many days of my life i wasted of a video game lol.
But i used to afk a lot back then. I don't do that anymore.
Jokes aside, i support this idea.
