Since you are spending resources on events

[IStolzI]

They are not important to me either. You miss the entire jest of the origin post. The idea here is "stop wasting time on stupid things"

You keep saying that people misunderstood your original post, but really you're just trying to casually rewrite your first post saying other people misunderstood it, as if it was some deep piece of intellectual writting. 90% of it is about graphics, you take a cheap shot at events and crafting fixes, and you use the vague phrase "core issues" at the end which really just implies that what you've been talking about the whole post, graphics and shadows, is something you consider a "core issue."

The last paragraph plainly states:
In short, although my preference would be for the dev's to stop rolling out summer events, new crafting systems, and other stuff that isn't really fixing the core issues with the game, if they are going to continue to put resources on these type of questionable value adds, could you please work on bringing the graphic effects into the current era?

Translation for dullards = if you are going to pour resources into these other things i don't consider important, then why don't you fix shadows while you're at it since they are also unimportant, it is a questionable value-add, but annoying me nonetheless.

Amen.

The only thing this game had going for it upon release beside the promise of a unique economic system (and I speak in retrospect on that bit..) was the visual appeal of the game and its engine.

This said, it is somewhat disturbing when we sit here 1 year later with spell effects from 1-2 gens ago and an engine that is about as optimized as a one-legged runner, and the only responses are 'these aren't core issues.' Don't deceive yourselves in thinking this hasn't limited the kind and amount of content they can release at this time.

If anyone is a troll its this guy, claiming he dont like the game and always negative, if you dont really like the game why are you still here spreading your negativity.

Actually I'm just filling my ignore list with trolls and morons.

Someones a bit hypocritical..

Now you're thread trolling him as your quote is not even from this thread.

Fix the choppy retarded shadow graphics, i get all this crazy, clippy jagged shadow crap when it's on my character model. Surely some of you guys have seen it?

I totally have. It looks like the scale of the shadows are much higher than the model themselves, making them look "pixelated". This engine is in need of a good optimizing.

Have you guys checked your settings in FFXIV config? There are several settings for shadows, and it sounds like you have yours set to mid level or lower. You may try turning up the shadow settings, and then the shadows cast by PC/NPC will be smooth and not jagged as you describe-

Doesn't matter, happens still. It doesn't happen all the time, just depends on the angle of the light being cast on it. Usually at night the shadows being cast you can't see it, but midday or other times it get pixelated even at the highest settings.

I don't know what you do for a living. So what do you do? Are you an EPM?

The kool-aid comment is a reference to Jim Jones. Look him up on the Wikipedia. It has nothing to do with hip netspeak.

I am not bent out of shape at your disagreement, just trying to avoid the "SE can do no wrong" response that is so common here because the game speaks for itself. They did wrong. If they didn't, this sucker wouldn't still be free.

No I am not an EPM, I'm an EE with a heavy background in programming, but so what. What I'm saying is people who fling the "You don't know what your talking about because you have no experience in so-and-so field," only say it to belittle the people around them, and to make them feel better about themselves. It's a common psychological tactic to justify an arrogant approach to an argument. You don't want a discussion, all you are doing is accusing everyone else of being a fanboy if they don't agree with you.

I understand the kool-aid reference, I just don't understand why you would even bring it up. It's not relevant to your original OP, it's only relevant because you feel like you need to chastise everyone around you.

That's all.

I guess I would simply say if you go back and read what I wrote, I never said "you don't know what you're talking about..." I said, if you are familiar with project management, then you realize...

You are twisting my words and misconstruing my statements. You are free to do so, but its unbecoming.

That is all.
