Feedback: Delete old content that no one does anymore to make room for new content

[GeminiReed]

All BS aside... im not too sure about that here, ya know? After all they stated multiple times their memory for mount music is actually limited and bc of that we dont get too many different songs xD

Objects have properties that are often encoded as an index (eg. Song#31). When designing the collection of properties the dev must decide how many indexes they need based on how much storage or memory budget they have for the collection. Small indexes (256) take 1 unit of storage (a byte) larger indexes take 2 (~65,000), 4 (~4,000,000,000), or 8 bytes (~16 with a lot more zeroes).

Somebody over 10 years ago (when memory and storage was quite a bit more expensive) decided that they'd never have more than X songs which came back and bit them in the rear. This is essentially the same thing as the Y2K problem (2 digits is good enough to encode years).

That's simply not true. Both are done frequently by new players or players leveling new jobs.



Winter is based on a solstice, not on the leaves or snowfall. It can also snow in fall or in spring without shifting the seasons..

I live in northern Sweden. The snow doesn't stop until around April's end.

So winter goes til April by these folks' logic. Haha

Every piece of content is part of the chaotic web of spaghetti code that keeps this game functioning correctly. Think of it like a jenga tower.

I live in New England. We can have snow one day, 80 degree Fahrenheit two days later, then winter conditions again a couple days after that, in June. Your ideas of structured seasons are adorable.

They did just enough quests to get the freedom to move around the city (the first couple of quests railroad you to the Adventurer's Guild and the aetheryte before they let you go where you want), then bought a story skip and a job boost.

Wait, can you buy a job boost without unlocking the class first? Because even when I msq skip on alts it won't let me unlock AST/HW classes unless I have another class at 50 first.

Deleting old content doesn't mean room for new content. This is not how it works.

[TheMightyMollusk]

It wouldn't get deleted anyway. It might get dummied out, but it's still there.

[Gruntler]

Wait how is that possible? Lv2 GLD, lv80 AST, nothing else besides crafters? How'd they get to Heavenward to unlock AST?

Most players are using the forums though. They may not be posting but they are learning different aspects of the game by reading the forum's threads, like crafting guides.

I would be hesitant to say "most players are using the forums"

the number is often less than 50% ever visit them since actual help is not very prevalent

I'd put it at under 1%. The NA forums are a cesspit that most people don't want to deal with. Although compared to other games they are an angelic paradise, they are still a cesspit compared to what happens in the Japanese version.
