All anyone can do is be patient.
If you're not happy with the game at all, a short break wouldn't hurt. -

I must still point out that pieces of coal don't become diamonds, ever, at the current forces being applied to them.

Its been 6 years since they started this project. How long do you think something like this should take?
-
04-07-2011, 06:09 PMRandiscosmetic changes and beautification should be rather fast but coding for such a game can take a very long time, especially if some programmers are replaced and the documentation is poor (i don't think it is, such amateur mistakes would rather surprise me as SE has a lot of exp).Quote:

End-user can only speculate, nothing more. Only the programmer can estimate the time they will need for coding and then you have to add the time for testing, fixing, testing and so on -
04-07-2011, 06:13 PMPeregrineNo, because that wouldn't send SE the right message. To stop pressuring them and log out of the game is to vote no confidence.Quote:

Don't let up until they start voluntarily producing high quality again without our help and heavy input. Square Enix has grown grossly out of touch with its players and has lost its way. Grab them by the throat. Don't let them wander around and suffer like this. -

04-07-2011, 06:22 PMRandisWe can only speculate why they have released it. It may be a lack of budget for this project, bad management or simply a very bad judgement. Or if the development of this game mainly or partially really was conducted by some 3th party instead of a SE studio, that might explain some quality issues of this product.Quote:

Also you need to know that the production, packaging and logistics take a lot of time as well. As you see the game was released in various countries, that means that the game went gold long before the release dates, probably already during the beta. Things that were tested in the beta were probably supposed to be fixed with a patch. IMO, beta was post the RC. That als would explain the lack of concern and acknowledgements of issues addressed in the open beta by players because the finished game already went in production.
FFXIV sure has a bad and tough start but if they work fast enough and get support from the audience then they will have all reason to keep working on it.
Abandoning the game may result in the opposite, if no one plays it then the board may not see a reason to put much funding in it, team will shrink and development would be very slow.
We can only speculate as we have no insights. -

Where do we farm this virtue, they didn't include jailers yet.
Get to work SE! We need this 'patience' thing! -

Nothing comes from rushing people to do things.

04-08-2011, 12:54 AMJibePeregrine I agree with alot of what you have said in the past and tried to back you up, but I think you have developed a bad case of Trolliosis. (That's a Troll with scoliosis btw...)Quote:
