The Companion App sucks

[Sigma-Astra]

Did some of us not say beforehand after the idea was released in a Live Letter when people were doom and glooming that it was going to ruin the Marketboard and XIV was going pay-to-win/free-to-play features, that it was going to probably be absolute garbage and useless out of the starting gate and not worth the $5?

A lot of us called that this app would be completely not worth the money and not as game breaking as others have said.

OP is living substantial proof and evidence as such that it's badly implemented. Thank you OP for testing the waters.

It also could've been the other way around and don't start with SE programs suck because otherwhise you wouldn't play here. Either way i'm not a fan of these apps since people spend enough time staring at their stupid phone already.

It could have, but it wasn't. There's no point in going through the numerous "what if" scenarios that can nor never happened to begin with, so I don't get what your point was or where you were trying to go with that entirely here. Plenty of people on the forums weren't impressed when it was first mentioned and still aren't even now, while countless others were...well, to be blunt, acting like the app was going to be the end of the world or end of the game. It hasn't caused the game to implode on itself, but it's definitely not anything special to write home about either.

Probably not a good idea to jump the gun and think that I would say SE programs suck simply because I called their phone app tool a useless piece of fluff when you don't agree with it either anyways. I like their games, their games are not always the problem....the problem is that they're really bad at micromanaging their resources and budgeting. But, that's a higher-up CEO & accounting department problem and not always a developer/director problem.

The phone app's mini fees for kupo nuts was probably alllllllll on the CEO's idea and less on the person who coded the interface.

Where i'm going is that people who complained about such an app had all rights to complain about it and even if you think there is no point in the "what if" scenario, its only what you think.

I'm assuming you're addressing the people that thought the app was going to ruin everything, right? It's true that they had a right to complain about it, even if a lot of it seemed like extreme hyperbole. But, honestly, at best we could all agree it's a greedy/not very thought-out marketing maneuver and nothing more at the very least.

Their programs do suck, that doesn't mean we won't still play the game though. >w>
The game does still use a lot of 1.0's code spaghetti, which is probably one of the bigger reasons for the games limitation. :B
