Doors

So now that grass has been discussed and covered thoroughly, I would like to bring up the topic of doors. Will they open the right way?

I need doors to open the right way.

There will be a special mini-game each time you want to open a door.

Actually the doors that open towards you made me cringe a little - but the dock made me so excited I forgot to comment about it lol

Seriously who opens dual swinging doors towards yourself.. Also it clips with your character when you do that XD

You will need to parley with the door for it to open the right way.

LOL!! Epic win

I did react to those too. Not only do they open the wrong way but there seemed to be quite a few of them that served absolutely no practical purpose.

I kinda went "oh?" when I saw that but honestly it's not really serious, could be something that will be fixed in the later builds, especially if it's just client side.

Definitely - and in like 2 seconds lol. 180 flip. Not something to rage about but I hope someone in alpha that made a little comment about it, little things add up. Having no little things to add up - that's excellence (which takes painful scrutiny).

Maybe it's just so we have lots of things to jump over...

I hope this is a troll thread, but then at the same time, wtf, please stop making troll threads.

The same question as OP came to my mind yesterday watching the video. Was guessing they might be instanced for every player?

Doubt it, just like doors in xi, they opened to everyone when one person went to go through

I'm sorry but I died laughing at Rudyfails post XD.

I'll admit that it made me cringe a little as well when I saw it. But then I was like "meh" not like that's the most important aspect of the game.

We're complaining about how doors open now? Wow (no not world of warcraft, relax) if the dev team worked on everything people complain about on this forum the game would never come out in our lifetime.

Well, most doors open only one way. So realistically, you are bound to hit one that opens towards you.

You can't use logic in a troll thread, heads might explode.

The doors will open automatically right away????? That's my immersion RUINED, what about unlocking them and pulling them.

I suppose if they are single hinged one direction, but that particular design type is infamous for being bidirectional. Also its best to be so as the clipping will be reduced.

That being said, perhaps in that era cool hinges are not common lol. But now days at least where I live the only doors that go one way are the doors meant to keep something out (of that particular type) - and for this case the doors swing towards you which means they wanted to keep what is in out and what is out in - perhaps for children or small animals (same thing? :P)? Could be logic there I guess.

(No handle of any sort means is most likely a bi-push door, and it looks like a garden variety which can swing either or)

LOL!

I remember in FFXI I played a taru - I swear they made pathing blockers that only affected taru's. Running up the craig steps following someone exactly and I'm getting stuck on every damn step XD.

What happens when two people come from opposite sides at the same time?

One of them will get hit in the face with the door XD. Could add collision to the doors but I dont think people are patient enough to wait appropriately lol

FFXIV: A Realm Nitpicked

I don't think people are understanding. We are meant to give feedback, no matter how minor it may seem. Don't we all want this game to be as great as it can be? Sure, the direction that the gates open is a very minor thing, however, it's these very minor things that go a long way to show that the dev team really put a lot of care into designing the game. These things are often even pointed out in reviews. Like that saying, it's the little things that count too. Things like the sound of birds chirping in the background, etc. I immediately noticed that the gate swings open the wrong way and clips through the character. It IS minor, though I would call it a design flaw, no matter how minor.

Not all doors swing both ways dude. Have you ever been outside of your room? It has a door on it you know.

Swinging gates usually do however.

Even on farms with animals (the two I've been on (super small sample size.. lol)) they swung both ways.

Yard/property gates most often than not did not swing both ways where I grew up in Romania. It's an architectural choice. Is it really that hard to imagine that gates don't swing both ways?

The little things often make or break an MMO for me. This wasn't really a serious thread, I made it because I laughed at the grass issue that people were talking about when we first saw 2.0. But still, I wouldn't mind the doors actually opening the way you're going. This stuff isn't as important as major aspects of the game but attention should still be given to the general style of it.

Basically the less of those things that remind you you're playing a video game the better. One common thing that bugs me in MMO's is the clipping that happens when you have a sword on your back and it goes through your cape or tail or whatever. I saw parts of miqotes tails sticking out going through their robe. Why not just disable tails when they're wearing robes?

Not huge issues but the little things do make a difference.

Edited "make or break a game for me" to "make or break an MMO". I think MMO's have to pay more attention at that stuff than shooting games because an MMO is supposed to make you want to live in that world and participate in its events, getting involved in that universe.

If you can't imagine how a gate or door can be made so that it only swings one way, and are seriously whining over the fact that gates in-game only swing one way, you probably need to get out of the house more.

Who are you? I work hot ass construction days mon - fri. Paintball on the weekends. That's more time outside than I even want. You don't know me hoe. I like my MMO's to look good because I don't have the desire to spend the few hours I have playing a game that doesn't have proper doors and grass.

Okay I'm kidding about that last bit. Anyway, my house is going to have dual swinging doors.
