LOLPATCH 1.16a

You guys are making up imaginary ticking clocks

Personally I do think that FFXIV has at least until late 2011 to get everything working and release the PS3 (early 2012 latest)

The "ticking clock" expression involves urgency. He talked about "end of 2011" at the earliest, and there's very little urgency in that. Ergo, I don't see a contradiction.

I'm quite sure that by the end of 2011 (actually quite a lot before, I would more say by the end of the summer) this game will have evolved quite a lot already. For the better or the worse, time will tell.

I think you are trying to say that I am contradicting myself? A ticking clock would imply that there is some kind of rush/urgency.

I am talking about almost 9 to 12 months from now. I do not see a urgency there, do you?

I am just using my brains and try to guess how long it would take any company to fix a game this broken. Like I said in my post above. The patches are not just about adding content or adjusting small mechanics or fixing bugs. They are basically redeveloping certain big and important parts of the game (maps, battle, classes). So it is not more than fair to give Yoshi at least one year before we draw our final conclusions.

I am giving them a year, while you and some others don't even give them a week after the disasters in Japan. The servers came up as soon as they could get them up. As soon as the servers were up they released patch notes and still you and some others had the balls to make a topic about it to tell us how bad the patch was.

I am actually playing. It is not that hard to write while you are crafting.

How does that quote of yours make me a blind ass? I am not saying the game is perfect. I am not saying they shouldn't change anything. All I am saying is that the guy is an obvious troll (if you think troll is insulting then I might be an ass, but at least not a blind one ...)

As far as I know it was pretty clear that the numbered patches are the ones with more content and that the .a and .b patches are small tweaks to the content added with those numbered patches.

So someone making a thread like this after patch 1.16a patch notes were released is a troll in my eyes. I would have replied in a normal way if he had made this thread after 1.17 or 1.18, but making such a thread after 1.16a just shows me that Abriael that posted the quote below is right, especially about the bold part.

Also, there's a big difference between "stirring up" and intentionally spreading negativity and FUD, every single day, always looking for (often completely out of line, like in this case) excuses to do so, without a single spec of constructiveness.
