Game stutters if there's players

[ESCUDO]

God i'm trying so hard to play this game but it seems it only gives me reasons to stay away from it. Stutter, Travel is a joke, maps are freakin huge and there's no way to speed running other than skills. Quest system is also a joke, it sometimes doesn't explain what you have to do and i'm still in the first quests, i need to travel to another city to buy another tools that allow me to harvest, for example, as i started in Ul'dah, or i'm missing something.

When talking to merchants and selecting the Buy menu it takes like 3 second to show the items they have to sell, god.

Should i start on a new server in terms of slow merchant loading or it's a known issue? If so any recommendations, or doesn't it matter?

I have chosen Lindblum because it's the name of a castle in one of the few decent Final Fantasy games out there, which is 9. =)

PS: Is this game still free to play? Honestly i don't know, because when creating the options in the account menu it says at the end of 30 days it will charge for every character i have, or something like that.

-Stutter

Yeah, they're working on it or so we hear.

-Travel is a joke, maps are freakin huge and there's no way to speed running other than skills.

Once you've been some where, its instant teleports, so unless you know something faster than instant...

-Quest system is also a joke, it sometimes doesn't explain what you have to do and i'm still in the first quests

Generaly they tell you what to do or atleast where to go, I'm guessing you never looked at your Journal in the menu or asked anyone in game about any of this huh?

- I need to travel to another city to buy another tools that allow me to harvest, for example, as i started in Ul'dah, or i'm missing something.

You're missing something: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com http://ffxiv.yg.com http://ffxiv.zam.com
Each town has the basic tools for ALL classes, just have to look for them.

-When talking to merchants and selecting the Buy menu it takes like 3 second to show the items they have to sell, god.

Yeah this is an annoyance we share, but they're supposedly working on that too.

-PS: Is this game still free to play? Honestly i don't know, because I never asked anyone playing or gave anyone a chance to answer my questions.

Yeah, I know, weird huh? BTW it is still free.

Yeah i'm hearing this since the game was release "they're working", if people work like this the world would be stopped by now. Tip: Get more people, costs more but it's faster to get the game working as it should when released.

Once you've been some where, its instant teleports, so unless you know something faster than instant...

Except you need to visit a place first before you can teleport there, so the long walking runs is still there, besides it takes 4 hours to recover 1 teleport point

Exclamation marks should be visible no matter what distance you are from the objective, that's how it works in every other game that i have played, unless you haven't discovered the location yet, which i had (it's the first city, ho ho ho)

Thanks captain obvious, except you forgot that the icons are shown for each city when you create a character. The problem is not that they're in another city but the time it takes to get there.

Yeah i've read that before.

Thanks, however being free doesn't make the game any better specially when it has stutter like this. Honestly i don't know if it's the game's fault or just an nVIDIA issue, because it seems people with much lower specs (and no SSD) can run the game fine, but since i got replied with being an "access to disk" problem and suggested to buy an SSD i think it has nothing to do with nVIDIA drivers.

Anyway i'm still watching for updates to this game, i could pay 50 a month just for a single slot if this was playable. But it seems than some people around here don't understand that sometimes it's with complains that things get fixed.

They're actually hiring more people right now.

Every other game = WoW? You can see the locations for quest objectives in your journal. I don't understand what your problem is here.

Did you even read what he said? He said the tools for all classes are for sale in every city. You don't have to travel to another city to get tools for any class. And what icons are you talking about?

This game's problems run much deeper than that. Stuttering in cities is a legitimate issue that should never have been there but it's one of the less critical problems.

Good to know, the more the better, hopefully.

I uninstalled WoW after playing the first quest. Can't people troll with something else? Like there's nothing else other than WoW. ROFL

Oblivion shows the quest marks on the map, so does Aion, Guild Wars i'm not sure, didn't play it in years and so many other games, FF14 only shows quest marks when near them, dunno why.

Did you even read what he said? He said the tools for all classes are for sale in every city. You don't have to travel to another city to get tools for any class. And what icons are you talking about?

He said that ALL tools are available to buy from each town, and the icons i'm referring to is the "job" icons, which is where some job specific quests are. Can you also get those in the start city? I can't check because i already uninstalled the game. :/

This game's problems run much deeper than that. Stuttering in cities is a legitimate issue that should never have been there but it's one of the less critical problems.

If that is one of the less critical problems i wonder what the critical ones are, because to me anything that affects general gameplay is highly critical.
