What I want

[captainpicard]

Ok lemme break this down for you, they are adding chocos and airships in 1.19, so anima wont be as much of a problem

Leves are not the focus anymore, most people i know havent done any after 1.18 came out.

Reps have said they are looking into keyboard controls.

The zones are going to be changed in the reforms, probably not smaller ones but i would say less copy/paste.

I have already addressed the transport.

Market wards will be constantly worked on to improve them where needed.

Character direction will be changing with jobs, and changes to classes.

In an issue of Famitsu they discuss jobs with Yoshi-P and I believe bard was one of them.

Read the updates since you quit playing before you post these please.

Thats all nice but,

Keyboard could have been fixed 10 months ago.

Chocobo's and Airships could have taken priority over holiday events and NM's

Zone reforms could have already occurred rather than not considering the delay in transportation

Market Wards continuing improvement would be "delete market wards, insert auction house"

I don't take direction from Famitsu, I thought thats what these developer run forums were for, so where is that on this forum regarding Bard? And with that said, adding Bard shouldn't be a priority when a basic issue like building a group is still "under development"

The reason I am voicing these issues is because the progress to date does not inspire confidence. The developers focus has been misplaced. They need to fix these core game mechanics, not be adding content. You can't build a house without a foundation.

What you seem to forget is most of the new dev team is working with an unfamiliar engine, and work on games takes alot of work and time.

Keyboard I admit could have been fixed along time ago.

The main complaint under Tanaka was there was no content, so no chocobos couldnt have had priority over content, also events, NMs and transport have differant teams working on them.

I believe the zone reforms are going to be quite big, what we had at launch took 5 years to fully develop from concepts to release, so unless you want more copy and paste dont rush them, its an entire graphical overhaul of the zones so it will take time.

Market wards work, most of the community will be happy now if the seperate HQ items from NQ in the search.

Famitsu is a Jappanese magazine and if they have interviews with Yoshi-P then you can take direction from them, if you only look in one place for news you will get at the most of half of it, what famitsu has said has never been discredited by the reps, the one time we had a fake interview posted Bayohne was fast to tell us it was fake, i'm sure the same would happen if we posted things from Famitsu that were inaccurate.

Yes progress is slow, but they are rebuilding a game that took 5 years to develop in a very short time frame, so if the reforms are finished in 1 year its still good progress.
