Squadrons are a let down for now

[MaikoRaines]

I, for one am looking forward to it. What I'm actually hoping is that I can just go around the open world with them and just do things like Fates and chill out with them. For dungeon replacements... eh I doubt they'll be a totally reliable source, and for those naysayers who are saying "Oh they're going to replace real people now" no, if anything they'd be a good buffer if you're trying to queue for a dungeon you're trying to complete and can't do so because of long queue. I could see them working great for like... say Palace of the Dead or some other cool stuff they haven't implemented.

I've noticed a lot of the negative people are the same ones who speak out against it before it's even released. Come on guys... we've gone a long way since 1.0 and sure, I'll be the first to admit that the game still needs polish and promises are still to be upheld, but I'd sooner want a proper housing remedy before anything. The apartments are nice, but since going to another server and beginning a new FC with no house at this time, it'd be nice if you could also be able to progress your own personal airships than relying on an FC and land that is few and far between.

But even then, it's fine. I can wait. Gives me plenty of chance to save gil, level up my FC and get sorted with new crafters and gathering classes.

I am going to give it a try. After all, you shouldn't expect the feature to be fully functional until 4.0

So what is the time frame when someone CAN call out a developer for designing something they were looking foward to terribly wrong? because the next excuse that usually comes is "well its already been put in place for months..."

No time frame is required. But it'll just boil down to a forum pissing contest between defending something ill conceived and those calling it out for what it is.

i will say a lot of people seem to defend content based on the idea it will become what they want it to eventually and that i find weird, but someone actively defending something they like or are liking on how it sounds i don't see a problem with. seems to me the two groups in this topic is *this is bad and should been released when it's good* and *this is bad but will get better so getting mad is illogical*

XD guess it's one of those glass half full/empty kinds of things.

well calling out i would have to say never, but it would really be on how you call out a developer. if you don't like something say so and give suggestions you would personally like.
but to go hey developer you messed up again why do you have to be so bad at this?!! i would say never.

content you don't like doesn't make it bad, content you like doesn't make it good. it's why it's so hard to make content you make it more towards one thing and this group is upset you make it more towards this it makes another.

What about the people waiting for it to be released to make judgements about whether it is bad or not?

we will have to wait to see if they like it! xD

i was just talking about what seems to be the biggest discussion (or at least that i saw)

[Leigaon]

What were you expecting to do anyway? Running Sastasha with a bunch of Lv 15-16 NPC?...

I sort of was, but after reading what you wrote. I agree, it seems we can level up a large variety of characters / classes. I wouldn't want to have to re-run all of that with a group of NPC's just to level them up.

I will be happy to give it a try. I was excited about a gambit like system to take into dungeons or even expired end-game content to practice things. Though we will see. Right now, taking it as it is it would probably make me feel closer to my GC. Lore will always get me excited or keep me around even if the content isn't that popular.

Good on them. They can wait to share their opinion. Which everyone is entitled too including those saying "shit sux" before release.

Too bad the only thing that matters IMO is gonna be patch notes.

-----------------

Calling out devs is a waste of time. They won't even read your posts due to the language barrier. If you really want to send a message you just won't touch the content. They will use the data of how much it is used and gauge interest that way. Everyone's hot air means very little to them.

No, there are two types of posts about new content:
The expectation of disappointment posts-by the people who are never happy
The actual disappointment posts-by the other people who are never happy

You can't break the cycle!
