Aren't holiday quests a waste of development time and effort right now?

[TheVedis]

This is what an intelligent player who isn't a fanboy thinks this patch will be:

1.17
60% of this entire patch IS the egg hunt.
10% of this first patch is more UI tweaking and bugfix

1.17a (AKA planning to prepare to update for content that they don't have yet)
10% something that can be remotely skewed to affect 8 man raid teams, like SP gain adjustment and crowd control tweaks. Or hahahaha maybe some big ol' nerfing action.
20% UI tweaking and bugfixes


If you think this patch will overshadow the holiday event, you were born yesterday.

And this post is what a forum troll wants you to believe.
The use of the word fanboy is a good indicator of the troll, watch it as it tries to get reactions out of people. Watch it as it spews doom from its mouth and tells you how you are all just sheep being led to the slaughter.
Watch it as it makes baseless assumptions acting as if it knows what its doing when in fact it is totaly clueless and will be proven wrong when the thing it says doesnt come to pass, yet then magicaly turn around and change its attitude as if something else is wrong instead when said wrongness is proven, and deny that it was ever wrong to begin with.

Well if you fail to learn the simple pattern, I have no other conclusion than you don't think. You just post what a good fan posts.

Watch. I don't care what you think lol...just watch.

I'd like to make you aware that agreeing with you isn't a prerequisite for being intelligent and not being a fanboy.

It's pretty obvious you still have alot of faith in SE Abriael. You still think they have what it takes to deliver and fix the game. I still think they do too. I'm just concerned with the image they are starting to get by hyping content while releasing other smaller stuff. It seems like the Yoshi infusion is wearing off for some people and Peregrine is a good example of that.

I learned never to have "faith". But I also applaud effort and hard work when I see it.
As for Yoshida's enthusiasm being bad for some, i'm not at all surprised. I know gamers quite well, and I know how much some would love to see him always sad, negative, prostrated and apologizing. It's an ego matter, and the ego of some gamers is extremely pleased by seeing a developer licking their boots after a game had a rocky release.

Personally, I like positive people, I don't feel the need to have my boots licked, and I can appreciate someone (especially a team leader) who is enthusiastic about a challenge that could easily send his whole career against a brick wall if he fails.

I do want to ask though, have you been satisfied with the updates so far? Have there been any updates that you were disappointed in when taken one by one?

Some updates I agree with, some I disagree with, but I'm not as arrogant as to believe that the devs should necessarily tailor the game over my taste and vision. The day I notice that the disagreement outweights the agreement, I'll simply quit and look for another game instead of trolling the forums of a game I don't like for months. Until then (if it'll ever happen), I'll enjoy what I agree with.
But one thing is for sure. I can easily see that there is a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes, the *amount* of updates is even superior to my expectations, considering that they're having to rework the basics of the game. If people think that they could do it faster, I'm afraid that there are some big delusions in place. And I'm not a fan of being delusional.

Right back at ya. When the "fanboi" BS starts coming into play you already lost way more credibility than the little you had at 12 pages ago when you first started your rage typing.

In this case it does. If you think this patch is going to be very much more than the egg hunt, you have a lot to learn about this world and it is honestly surprising your lack of insight has allowed you to survive six months of Square Enix content release.

Shh. Quiet. Learn your lesson and watch what happens. I'm amazed you got this far with your system of hopes and dreams. How many times has SE dashed them on rocks since September? Gotta be six, seven times you've been severely disappointed in an update you failed to understand just how underwhelmint it was going to be.

You'd be surprised to know that there are some people out there that SE has never disappointed.. *points to self*
I'm patient, understanding, and happy with what I'm given. Always room for improvement but you'll never see me complain.

"I'm right because I say so". Convenient, but not very realistic.

Lol just watch. You'd better be paying attention too, because I don't want you to do the same thing for 1.18 and 9.

Pure gold right there. ^.^b Thanks for the laugh.

So are you implying the game is never going to get better and you're hanging around the forums....for what again?
