Topic with the OP complaining about the game's development without taking time to learn how gaming development works #234345.

This is fast compared to other MMO's. Especially with them basically making one game better while working on a new one at the same time. The developers always express how hard they are working on the game, especially with Yoshida putting massive amounts of hours a day to get the game rolling. People are simply not appreciative of their hard work, despite if you like what they are giving to you or not.

Exactly, they're working as hard as they can for us. I mean when the disaster struck Japan earlier this year the game went offline because of the state of things. They got the game up and running again as soon as they could through sacrificing the comfort of their own working conditions.

Operating the servers for these services makes up 11.6% of the total power consumed by our Tokyo office (based on February 2011 records). We have shut down our air conditioning system (8.8%) and enacted other power conservation measures, such as reducing lighting in our offices, to achieve over 10% in energy usage reductions. With these energy saving measures in place, we will be able to bring our servers back online and restore service to FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline on Mar. 25, 2011 4:00 (PDT).

They've done everything in their power to fix the game and add content as quickly as they can. And yet here we are again in another thread about how they aren't working hard or fast enough. We simply need to be patient at this point. The game is being redesigned while simultaneously adding content.

Dear OP; Please shut your face hole.

From each patch they seem to take extra time to finish them or too long and work on bugs and such after releases. Such as 1.19a,1.19b etc.

They take about 10 days extra to finish a patch. So for them to finish everything up till Ver2.0 it will take them 6 months extra.

Version2 & Patch 1.23 says its going to be completed by Oct.2012.

So ver2.0 might not get done on time including the patches until Nov.2012~April.2013.

For them to make patches on time they would have to increase the development staff by 20%. This would make faster released content and better testing before releasing to early to meet patch due dates.

I completed the last patch well over a month ago, and that was playing at a leisurely pace. The updates happen way too slow, that's for sure

The last patch was a seasonal event, it'd be pathetic if you weren't able to finish it.

[ApplePie]

Yeah, Ifrit was a seasonal event.

<<<<this right here, if this doesn't happen the game is over in a few months just like the first launch. it needs this to happen and with enough content for people who played for 1 or 2 years already to think this to be true. ps3 relaunch might save the game but not if everyone who left on the pc don't come back cause it's still lack of content for them.

i personally would rather them shut down the game completely for the next year. but lol i'm probably just leaving till 2.0 so is easy for me to say. but they have a 2.0 team and they have what they will give us now for the next year. it won't be enough. is why i chose not to stay but for those who do, they should understand by now what they paying for. personally like the op said i doubt the 2.0 launch will arrive on time, the 6months he mentions is probably right. for every mistake they fix they probably making 3more mistakes. understaffed or not, they are probably very over worked. a 2years more then normal push for a late launch. unless everything on that end goes the way it should be, and or they added a very large margin for mess ups into that time frame(most likely) then maybe the extra time will be spent on more content till the day of launch. (hope so) i doubt the next year no mater how many people they will ever be able to make enough content so ...i'm rooting for 2.0 launch.
