In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

[Imsoangry]

I read many live letters from alpha, beta. I played from beta for both game...
WoW didnt have this boring effect until cataclysm (we can see it now in SB... was the case during 3.1...)

And my calculations are inacurate? Because seasonnal items were ingame item? but now they are in cash shop. A new player that begin the game now have to buy them. Was free stuff, why doesnt stay free stuff, as they did in FFXI for seasonnal stuff? Just because... Money Enix wants more, and more.



You want me to respond all? ok...

1) i answered, they know how much player activ on each serv. They knew, from the 2.1 they didnt have enough house. They knew the incoming fail. So coming after and saying "sorry" it is just bullshit

2) Yep, all game with success during launch get servers matter. But some does it for 1, 2 day, 1 week... for SB it was nearly 1 month! THIS is the problem

3) 4 years of server inefficiency to take a huge load of people. SE KNOWS the number of players, of sub, they KNOW what will happen. It is their JOB.

4) i answered, i add answer after.

If you have really seen said liveletters and read text letters they've been posting on lodestone as well, then you wouldn't be spreading complete nonsense, that improvements that I mentioned were promised before the game got even released. As I've already said, a lot of said improvements are due to players feedback and its a fact.

I'm sorry but why you claim that new player HAVE to buy something. That's complete nonsense. I myself never bought a single item, yet I'm still fine and alive. I don't really see how new players are FORCED to buy anything. Are you also forced to buy artbooks just because they give you some minions ? Seriously.

1) Yeah they know, they also for sure didn't expect that playerbase will go up by as much as it did. Why else do you think we had no similiar issues in heavensward, yet we had them now ?

2) It wasn't 'nearly a month'. As soon as they introduced 'Simultaneous Logout Measures' which was 29.06 - most issues were gone. I admit that it was still rather bad, but if you claim something, use facts instead of nonsense that can easily be proven wrong.

3) What huge load are you talking about. When SB got released I was in game in few minutes with no issues at all. There's been no emergency mainteneces and so on. They failed with that instanced msq which was gating you from rest of the content. As I already said multiple times, they know it was a wrong decision and will for sure learn from it. Will you rant about it till the end of the world now ? It's past already, we can now have just some bad memories and that's it. Do you have similiar issues now ? I don't think so.

I see very little reasons at this point, to continue this conversation. You hate SE greediness, yet buy CE edition of their games. You claim it's boring, yet you're here on forums instead of playing games that are not boring. I really get that game has issues. I really do. I always spoke about them outloud. I cannot support anyone though, who say that they don't give a damn and that this game isn't getting better.

Why i stay on FFXIV? same reason i stay on WoW, i love both game. Not everything is perfect/bad.
The matter i have with what you say, is you speak about only the good side of what yoshida did. i can say anything else he did good, you maybe forgot it Veteran reward for 360 days, it was cheap, really... 2 things as other reward, and one was 50 etheral teleport shit... He did a simple change : adding 2 other stuff in the rewards. Magic evryone happy.

To be honest, the way the game is going... i will probably not buy 5.0...
If you want to stay with your pink glasses, ok for you. But, try to understand what people says when they rage against FFXIV/SE/Yoshida. Raging people are not salty stupid people. They are for some young and old players, even legacy players. FFXI player, legacy AND FFXI player, they played wow, GW2 and other, for some from the begining. Many people here left WoW for FFXIV because of decision from WoW like... cash shop?
People are in fire most of time because what happened is ONE THING after OTHERS... And in the end, one thing + other things = too much things.

Now you're finally being reasonable. First of all. Yoshida is not the only one responbile for this game alright ? Last time I checked, it's plenty of people responsible for designing content and they discuss imporatnt matters together. Thing is, you don't know me. I'm sure I play this game much more than you. I'm hardcore raider. My playtime is as impressive as it is embarassing. As a result of playing as much as I do, I totally see flaws in the game. It's not the case that FFXIV is perfect because it isn't. No game is. Hell, even my favourite rpg of all times - Witcher 3 - while being an AMAZING game, still has plenty of flaws up to this day. Based on what exactly you say that I look at the game wearing 'pink glasses' ? I think HW initially was a disaster. I was disappointed in initial SB difficulty. Diadem and LOV failed, feast could be way bettter. Housing in this game IS bad. There's no glamour log like in Guild Wars 2. I could go on. Problem is - you accuse me of looking only at the game positives, while you do exactly the opposite and focus on things that are bad while completely ignoring improvements that have made this game much much better than 2.X series.

I never said those who complain are salty stupid people. I complained myself few days ago. I personally believe that housing at the current state is just bad. I'd myself love to see implementation of 1 house per account restriction, way more wards and instanced housing. Saying it as some who has a house for 3 years now but was looking to relocate.
