They do not look like they enjoy what they see. Mainly Thunder spam, and hopes for Manafont and Chainspell (FFXI style).

Sometimes I'd log in when playing another game, pop manafont, and log out, just to feel that tasty effect.

Yep, everything is being redesigned for 2.0, till then when the new server infrastructure goes up in February it should help out.

Are ya sure that infrastructure update wasn't referring to the servers that 2.0 will utilize? I don't recall 1.0 getting such a thing (could be wrong though).

It depends on how the overall wording was to be interpreted, it seems by then they plan to try to alleviate some of the lag which is when it's stated to have the new servers complete, but 2.0 is when we move over to a new client and data fully converted, so it seems that it'll be a gradual process of moving over.

Makes sense :D

I don't think they were planning to implement 1.x on the new servers. In general you would do a migration with new client software which means 2.0. It's anybody's guess though.

The OP is talking about client lag, not server lag like your reference. OP it is your own PC and no they aren't doing anything about it until 2.0 when there is a new engine. Either reduce display settings or cough up money for new hardware.

No Syn, my UI lags too (especially shopping) which is not the fault of my hardware (constant 30fps everywhere), it's the fault of FFXIV and the retarded concept of sending request to display a window -> get response -> display window 1-2 seconds later.

Nevermind I miss understood what Thanos was saying. He was asking for the UI to be client side, I thought he was talking about things that already are like cursor movement and such. Everyone's UI interaction lags but there is no hope till 2.0.

If we are lucky it could get done before 2.0, but i'm not holding my breath, not because SE doesnt listen or anything but because they have a huge workload to get 2.0 out on time.

We can always hope.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this... SE suppose to improving the game content, not worrying about user interface (which should have been polished by PC launch). Suppose they do nothing but improve interface, graphics, battle system, environments... you know, BETA stuff(see where I'm going with this?). When will the game actually be ready for presentation and liable for expansions?

You..do know a working foundation is even more important than content, right? It's not "beta stuff", it's called game design 101. Even established MMOs still tweak graphics and envriornments and etc overtime. Was WoW's cataclysm the official release of it and everything before of it was beta?

Was Rift's 1.6 update the official release since it also tweaked the interface? See where I'm going with this? FFXIV is being overhauled, which means content isn't the #1 priority until the game's foundation is where they want it.

That exactly right, I agree, When you have a great Foundation, you can build the tower as high as you want it.. and it shouldn't ever fall ( or at least a very hard time of falling) build it with a crappy foundation.. everything you build on top of it, will Collapse in time.

Besides they have a little over 250 people working on this "2.0" 50 people could be on the Server infrastructure, 50 people could be on Graphics engine, 50 people could be on the Games content, 50 people could be on the Features ( UI,Market wards/AH/PC Search etc). last 50 could be on getting the game ready to be "re-presentated" at E3 trying to make sure they catch the eye of the crowd.. to draw people who left and new people. Lets face it, Everyone is going to watch E3 "even re-run of it" and they will have no choice BUT to see the New FFXIV.. and they really need to put this out on full force.. this is their last chance.. so that last 50 people working on a Presentation, is #1 key. ( but that can wait till the final 3 months heading to E3).

Anyways you get my point. All 250 people aren't working on one area then jumping to the next.. everyone has assigned duties, and they follow them.. and Yoshi-P walks around each area and sees how they are doing, giving them advice, or things he wants in that particular area of the game <3.

Yea it's not called beta. It's alpha to be specific =P

There is still problem with ui desync with servers and not showing proper timers. They really should fix that b/c it's a big bug which makes combat annoying as hell. And no 2.0 should not be excuse to fix things like that.

if the servers are bad (which they are) then yes it is an excuse.
