hey listen i gave examples of what rumors are out there never once i said "THIS IS WHAT THEY GONNA ADD"
all i was trying to do with this post is people to stop the rumor mill and se to put out the fires that are burning

[Elexia]

you dont get it also apprently you played FFXI and were SO DAMN UBER that you did all your missions and quest alone and solo'd DL JoL AV Kirin all of SKY all of Dyna all of the Kings and SE made a statues of you in ToUA because you solo'd everything ..... and what i was sayinh about the missions is that the fact you could interact with all people of the server and enjoy the game together .. i remember doing missions and meeting great and long lasting friends doing all those things

Since you wanted to bring this up:

I have soloed the gods sans Kirin on my SCH.
I soloed Ix`drk on my SCH (this is easy for anyone to solo really)
I have soloed a lot of Abyssea NMs sans brew on my RDM and SCH.

Missions and quests won't make the game fun, it'll be the events just like in XI. Most people button mashed through the missions they didn't realize most were just for the story and the only thing that brought people together were the fighting portions, which was few and far inbetween. The only difference between XIV and XI mission system is because everyone was so gungho about not being social, SE made sure you can't do the majority of missions in a group and can (have to) do them solo with NPC help.

I've played every one of SE's MMOs, so I do get it. Their design heavily tips towards events (or "raids" to most) being the fun content, while grinding and quests/missions, which some have fun with, aren't necessarily what will make the game fun.

People apperently want daily updates
and they arent getting them
so they are raging

also there is so much damn false info the OP that its rediculous

Daily updates? How about weekly? How about some information at all? We haven't had a Letter from the Producer worth a damn since February. How about the battle announcement in the "near future" which was then "next week" which is now "this week" (and it's Wed in Japan).

Yoshida was brought in to keep us involved and yet not a single person knows anything (ANYTHING) about this game or where it's going because we're not told anything but vague commentary and general ideas without deadlines.

We know "new battle" (vague idea) is starting to implement (no deadline) in June with dungeons (vague idea w/ deadline). That's all anyone knows for sure about anything. It's a tad silly, don't you think? They know the game isn't good and want us to hang in there, but give us next to nothing to "hang on to" or wait for.

Not to mention "daily" updates wouldn't be hard if the Reps responded every day rather than 2 days of the week they explode 15 comments. They apparently don't work on NA Friday or Monday - or the time they spend at work isn't replying. They are radio silent today so far. I mean, I don't know what their entire job details are, but I thought it was linking us with the dev team.

So it's fair to be irritated by these long stretches of nothing. I do think the OP and others are a tad overly hostile and I do think there are some rampant rumors that have little to no support from actual comments from the developers, reps or any interviews I've read ... but it would be nice to have some facts rather than rumors and speculations and vague "I'll tell you soon about X" where X equals an infinite amount of unknown variables.

It's getting old from a Producer who promised to keep us more informed in his inaugural speech.

I want it and I want it NAO!!

I want it and I want it NAO!!

It's not "NAO" though. It's been 6 months. I did want it in December. I wanted it the day Yoshida took over. I wanted to see what he had planned, how he was going to change things for the better. He apparently set a course in motion (changing the battle system) that was met with mixed reviews and still hasn't even bothered to release the details of that decision. I think I've been particularly patient and accepting of how things are and how long it takes to change things.

The problem is this isn't an open channel of communication. Yoshida knows what the new battle system will be like and he's known for weeks. Why don't we know? Why keep us waiting? Haven't we waited long enough? What do they gain from not telling us? Don't they want feedback? I thought they did. I thought that was the point of all this.

This is in no way "NOW." My patience personally is expiring rapidly. It even pains me to admit it. I like XIV. I like the way the game is right now. I like every aspect of it. I just don't like not knowing where it's headed. I don't like being told tiny fragments of information and have them dangled in front of me for six months. I don't like it. I think most people who looked at it analytically wouldn't like it either.

Shai, all you want is subjective

letters not worth a damn, to you maybe
we have gotten one every 2-3 weeks since they began
we get regular rep posts on here

just because its not the info you wanted doesnt mean we have no communication

also, the battle announcement this week...guess what
ITS STILL THIS WEEK
so its not late, another mark against you for your massive impatience

this is a "i want it now" thread for so many people its rediculous, you people need to have patience
go level or something, farm some NMs, make some gil, prepare for whats coming instead of pining over what you dont know yet

[Shai]

It's not information. It's reassurances that information exists. Information would be "informing" us on something. I've known there was going to be a new battle system since January. Telling me there's going to be a new battle system (in May) doesn't present me with any information on said battle system.

Yoshida himself apologized that he hasn't given us a substantial letter in "so long" (read: February).

The reps also apologize that they can't give us anything other than "we'll pass this along" or "they're working on SOMETHING."

I'm tired of that. How are you not? It may be subjective, but apparently those apologizing agree and can understand how frustrating it is from MY point of view. Less apologies and more "information."

how can we possibly prepare for what's coming when we have no idea of what exactly is coming? Also, Level? Level what? Half of the classes in the game are garbage and it revolves too much around crafting (which I can't stand in this game).
