Disappearing npc(s) and players.

[SirOleas]

I think it's awkward that someone is requesting changes like this to the current version of the game so late on the roadmap to 2.0.

Not only is it impossible with the current engine, it's also pointless to do at this time even if it were possible.

I don't really understand why anyone in the know would request this.

Honestly, the only possible answer to this thread is you simply haven't followed/read/understood anything about this game and it's march to version 2.0. Yet you have many 50's and high level DoL/DoH.

I am baffled.

Being that I am paying a subscription, I would like more quality in the product that I buy. Like so many I want the game to have success in it's release/push for 2.0. I understand the devs are working more to this goal, but the problems on this current game still needs to be address. We have content and instance raids, but the game is lacking in quality. Here is my biggest grape. When I'm in town or doing hamlet defense; things just tends to disappear. Do you know how frustrating it is, when you can't target because there's nothing to target! So what if you give us content you can't play correctly. I'm asking for customer's satisfaction for a product that we invest our money and time.

Everyone has the right to express their opinions buddy, dont let the negative nancys get you down.

But SE has basically said any meaningful changes will be happening in 2.0. So buck up and wait along with us till then. If they do a shoddy job, feel free to log in here or on other websites and bash them. :P

[SirOleas]

I wouldn't say anyone is bashing him.
It's just his request is unreasonable this late in the game. (not to mention was always impossible on this version of the game)

It's that simple. Paying subscriber or not.

It's really just confusing how he is requesting this change if he knows anything about the game's rebuild....

Sometimes i forget, and i'm sure i'm not the only one ... that mostly everyone out there who isn't really FIRMLY invested in this game right now has very little knowledge as to what's going on. Remember that only paying subscribers can even see the info on these forums ... and outside of here, maybe the lodestone page is good, but only if you even bother reading it ... beyond that, there's Yoshi's interviews, but you'd have to bother to look.

If you take a player who might have ignored this game until legacy came up a couple months ago, chances are, even they won't be caught up on everything there is to know ... let alone the gobs of people who still when you talk about FFXIV they respond, 'That games not dead yet'?

Edit: as for the many 50's ... *facepalm* That .. well, ... there's no accounting for ignorance ... or perhaps just laziness. It is possible to play the game every day i suppose and make no effort to follow the flow of information? Stilll... there might be nothing i look forward to more in 2.0, than never seeing character sprites load in front of me again.

I wonder did you're server experience a server error like us here on Excalibur?

[Titans]

And for you, buddy I don't have all these 50s, because I was pling. I've invested 21 months into this game when it was free. Don't remembering having these issues then. Hmm, don't think we had the content to compare with. The time was invested to come up with the content, so how about putting the time in making sure it works as well. Common sense

[SirOleas]

Someone who has invested 21 months into the game would have at least a slight clue as to why the current version of the game functions the way it does, as well as reasonable if not completely clear knowledge that 2.0 is around the corner and aims to fix the issue.

The current version has always -always- been limited to displaying 40 players/npc objects at any given time and selects which elements to load at random.

This was not some problem that just randomly happened later on. It was always the poor design of the game engine and a flaw built into the tools that create the game (crystal tools sucks).

How do you not know any of this when the development team and Yoshi-P have been very transparent about the game client and server structure being crappy basically right from the start?

Even more confused now.

The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few

[rina_inverse]

21 months of free play?
I wonder, did we play the same games?

i'm sure they can read the forum. They just can't write.

That the client can only load a fixed amount of chars and objects is old story.
Because of this they gave important NPC a higher priority to load

- NPC display priority has been modified. This will ensure that important NPCs, such as Baderon, are displayed first.
