Glaring issues that were NOT addressed in 2.1

[Duelle]

From a consumer standpoint there is nothing beneficial about this at all. Who's side are you on? :/

I wasn't siding with anyone. I'm just saying what's on my mind.

Put it this way. If at lv50 200 crit rating equated to a 20% crit chance, but the devs wanted to scale that back they would make it so that 200 crit rating at lv55 equared to 5% crit chance without players actually seeing it happen outside of parsing (which, like it or not the average player doesn't really do). Granted I doubt they would do something this extreme but my point is that by not showing percentages it would allow them to make tweaks to stat scaling without incurring the wrath of the playerbase, as usually tends to happen when you nerf scaling of a stat.

This guy has a point and I prefer the game designers to have this freedom for balancing the game for all of us.

Did I really just hear that, please tell us that was sarcasm.

They already have the freedom to change the stat calculations anyway they choose, this just gives them the freedom to nerf stats without telling their paying customers a thing about what they're doing.

That is not a good way to run an MMO, or a company in general.

6. There is no option to turn off cutscenes. Why do we need to manually skip cut scenes every time we enter a dungeon or face a boss? It seems ridiculous during the storyline missions, where on the billionth Praetorium run every 3 minutes we are jamming our escape button and hitting accept. Give us the option to skip all cut scenes.

Whoever thought it was a great idea to spam us with Cutscenes in the middle of active fights in Castrum Meridianum/Praetorium.....seriously...its annoying.

Hey all,

We brought up some of the issues raised in this thread and wanted to share the responses with you now:

In regards to showing the chance for critical hits, the team remarked that there are currently no plans to display this in the UI. Players can assume simply that as the stats that affect this grow larger, the effect will become greater.

The team is currently looking into an option to "skip all" cutscenes. The team has also been looking into a better incorporation of Chocobo Companions including allowing you to register for Duty Finder while having your companion out, as well as riding your companion while he's called. While the timing for these hasn't been decided we'll keep you aware when we hear more.

Any word on companion respecs? Dat WHM barding...

The main thing I was looking forward to was the transparent slider for the chat box.
Being colorblind i just want it to be a solid black background so i can actually read my chat. Thought it was to be done in 2.1. Still not sure why it was removed from beta. Makes no sense.

Only other thing i would like is an ability reset for the companion chocobo. Would be something to actually spend our GC seals on, even if it was like 20-30k id buy it
