Bored...

[Kowen]

SE is playing the silence game, the dev never commented on the NA forums and Yoshi-p even stated that we should stop translating his posts as there is misunderstanding after so in a word no love or communication for any player besides the Japanese ones.

This was probably already answered by someone, but...

The Japanese correspondents actually post LESS than the NA/EU ones, just take a look at the tracker. If something DOES happen to be posted on the Japanese forums first, it's almost always translated and given to us in English within a day.

Well i am not talking about the "we like your idea and we will pass it on to the dev team"

There is plenty of that but when the dev post something or answer something it is mostly on the jap forums and then a community rep will copy/paste the translation to the NA forums.

I am bored with game too. But I am keeping it installed. It just needs few more patches, PS3 release and it might be ok. I still have hope. Yes, it takes too much time. Half year at least.

Well, the devs are Japanese after all, of course info is usually going to pop up in Japanese first. The translators might not be at work (or even awake) during the hours something new is posted.

My point was that everyone's getting the same information, even if it doesn't come to us in English right away. You made it sound like there's a bunch of stuff going untranslated when there really isn't at all.

im bored as hell too, crafting feels like an endless grind.

If only we could make furnitures etc, redecorating my "MH" (as an example), that would keep me busy for a looong time.

But nooooo..... dont gives us a house to live in ; ;

Hell even some of my ls members are living in cardboard boxes in uldas backstreets...
Wth is wrong with you SE??? Give us proper homes!

I don't care much for houses... i know a lot of you guys want it because you come from FFXI but honestly i just want something fun to do.

I want to be able to keep myself busy and have a blast at the same time. I don't want to be forced into crafting which is awful imo. I was never motivated to craft in other mmos but SE found a even better way to make crafting a nightmare. It already felt like work but in FFXIV crafting feels like real life work.... I thought we played mmo to escape real life and get a bit of fantasy and fun.

I want to be able to pick a couple of FUN quests that will reward me with good items and exp points. I want these quests to eventually take me to new places. I want to party up with people and go on an adventure, go in a dungeon and fight a huge boss and feel a sense of accomplishment at the end.

I dont want running around to figure out what the hell can i do to pass time. I dont want to grind, i dont want to spend hours looking for a party, i dont want LS to be my only way to ever team up with someone. I dont want to repeat the same levequest over and over or the same behest over and over. I dont want to be in the same damn city, area, a month after i started my character. I dont want to be forced into leveling a job i have absolutely no interest into just because the dev felt like thats the way i should play the game. I dont want the dev telling me i need to stop playing for a week because i reached 8h with my character. I dont want to be forced into leveling the most boring crafting jobs in mmo history.

Please SE, just make it fun... that all im asking for.

The lack of communication is what's most frustrating to me.

If you're going to withhold content for an entire month, can you at least increase your presence on the forums?

Until yesterday was golden week in japan, they were in holiday.
Ans btw, with all the testing they should do, passing their time posting would be the last of their thoughts

Please do not use the term "Jap" its racially insensitive.

You do realize that posting would take 10min? Or writing a producer's letter giving us the info we request would take 30min-1h? Hardly an impact on their work.

They took a vacation last week so obviously their sense of urgency is gone. To their eyes FFXIV is not in a critical state anymore. IF they can afford a whole week off i'm sure they can afford a few minutes to keep us up to date.
