2.0 Excitement thread

[Amherst]

I don't know about you guys, but CGI trailers just don't do anything for me. I'd much prefer gameplay. Really don't care much that we'll see 2.0's opening at E3 for that fact, unless it has some surprises hidden in it such as new classes. The weeks after the event will probably be more interesting, since we'll be getting more info from the dev team.

Anyway, the two big things for me are community options and zones. The former should've been in from the start (but hell, so should a lot of other things). Tying it into PvP, bosses (such as with the summon system), and other things is always neat. Helps to really push friendships and rivalries. The latter I really didn't care much for until I tried out FFXI and started running around there. Made me realize just how poor of a quality everything in XIV 1.0 was in that regard.

Rather than making a new topic, I thought I might rehash my excitement here.

*faints until 2.0*

I'm curious what type of turnaround times we'll see once 2.0 is released.

I'm imagining that core game changes will have been made and that tweaking will occur rather than overhauls. And that content and little fixes will happen more frequently. I wonder.

Once 2.0 is released I can see there being around 2-3 months of tweaking then full-steam ahead for new content

The game is already made (you're kind of playing it), the tweaking being done is 2.0.

I wouldn't call a brand new server system & setup and a brand new graphics engine a "tweak"

New maps from the Ground up is "tweaking"? New Content up the gazoo is Tweaking?" Seventh Umbra Era Storyline when we get into 2.0 is "Tweaking"? If all those are little.. then whats a massive reconstruction then?

It's not a new game either like some still believe. They already established with the exception of map redesigns they're simply importing 1.x stuff over to the new client and servers which basically means it's more just updating than anything. Obviously after new content they'll still have to make adjustments, but 2.0 is more of a glorified patch which already has tweaks done to it since that's basically what an overhaul is.

This is why 2.0 is in such a make or break position, since it'll allow for some stuff 1.x can't do, but it can also still have some of the problems that were a turn off for players to begin with, i.e interface lag. So it's more people still expecting it to be a brand new game rather than just a overhaul to the core system.

They could have always added content being released during 2.0's life span in 1.x if they so chose, would it have been wise to, though?

I'm gonna turn my stalking senor on >.> lol

But I agree lol, if those are a "tweak" I'd like to see what a reconstructed game is.

They could.....if the server system supported it, which it doesn't.

I do it because I care, False information always ends up bad.. if 1 days is wrong or out of place the Forums have a hissy fit over it... so I figure I play the part :P.

Your going to stalk me? Well don't I feel special! :P

New Content does not equal Tweaks I'm sorry.

A Tweak to me is a Hotfix. those are tweaks. With 2.0 it's more than a mere Tweak.. if that is a tweak... then 2.0 must be doing something wrong then >.> according to your information.
