New info on housing plots, PVP, squadron changes

Says the cat girl.

Ever notice that Miqo' te more often than not, are more vocal against Viera implementation? It's almost like they think they'll lose something should they be added into the game. Same for the calls for more bestial races, even after we have one thread (started by a cat g.i.r.l cause of coarse..) to unlock female Highlander underwear...

And this is why, after dodging a question someone had asked about "What other game does it?" due to something I in hindsight should not have said (and I acknowledged that I phrased it extremely poorly I.E. I shouldn't have said it), I went about ways in which FFXIV can do it. Looking at existing infrastructure that we have in place, how we can tackle certain limitations like MB/chocobo stable, etc. I was giving ideas on how to do it. But yes, it does get a bit frustrating when for over 2 years, it's been the same thing that hasn't worked. Again, I understand the nightmares of "spaghetti code" (Developing stuff in C# for Discord comes to mind...), but it is frustrating as an end user.

Housing issues have been known since like not too long after it was first implemented, you cannot tell me they have not had the time to look into it, rather they do not care about it much/low priority.
All they are doing next housing patch is adding more wards, and apartments, etc.. I hate always repeating myself but instanced and non-instanced mix is the only way to go.

Wow, rude much?

I even specifically said in that topic that particular piece doesn't interest me at all. The topic was about unlocking the styles all around, but congratulations I guess for turning it into a personal insult based off of bias.

What is it with this overall toxicity and vitriol towards the Miqo'te race, it's so common, is it really so terrible many players like something that you don't?

I actually read this just to see if it was in the OP or any of their posts at all only to find out it's just an assumption on a near idiotic level.

Despite what you and yours may think, every miqo'te is not part of some sex-crazed hivemind.

It's partly that reason I changed off of Miqo'te. The number of people I run into that dislike me solely for being a cat girl was unreal. The sheer number of insults and the amount of times I got told I was a boring unoriginal cat because, in their opinion, all cats look the same. You're entitled to your opinion but it would be nice to hear it without the insults, the kind that make you feel as if you're belittled for playing a particular race.

I remember one time I created a Miqo'te and asked a friend for feedback and instead of getting any constructive criticism, all I got was, "Ehh... it's another cat. They're all the same to me."

Try being Miqo'te and on Balmung! The sheer amount of idiotic responses that get tossed at you just because of either your race or location is absurd. I figure if that's the route they're going to take in a conversation, they're not worth much of my time.

This quote gets misused/misunderstood a lot. He never indicated that everyone would be able to get a house. He said that everyone would have an equal chance at getting a house.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter what he did or did not mean by the quote. My point still stands, everyone being able to get a house so long as they have the gil is the only acceptable solution to the housing situatikn. The player base should not settle for anything less than that.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing.

I'll always support the positive feedback, which doesn't mean "a nice comment with a smiley emote as a signature", but actual constructive criticism. Within the system's limitations and with a degree of common sense. Like making certain things dyables, which is the recent complaint/suggestion. The community managers recently approached the players asking what sets of gears we would like to make dyable. If that's possible or not, that will be up to them.

I really don't know how hard would be to overhaul the whole system to satisfy the demand from players, I'm not a developer and I have zero idea about their system. However, as a customer, instead of parroting like any YouTuber/Other_player would say, I will try and voice my complaints and suggestions as good as I can. Like I said above, if it's possible or not, the developers themselves will have the last word.

Ignore the temporary lala-status. I swear I'm one of you! lol

Your name says it all!

Also, let's not derail the thread into a virtual racism debate, please...

I have no issue with Miqo' te as a character race (Y'shtola being among my favorite of npc's), for the most part it's the players that take part in the more questionable hobbies that give the race it's unfortunate stigma.

However i will admit in hindsight that was far to focused and unnecessary. Apologizing would be disingenuous, and removing the comment would be the same as trying to erase the error. The comment simply should not have been made.

I will simply say it was in made response to the times i have had certain individuals claim that the Viera race was a mistake to implement by those biased to having more bestial race options.
