What happened to that ridiculous [Request For SE] Disclose the Team Structure for FFXIV thread?

[Paksenarrion]

And who are these "yay-FFXIV" people? Outside of about a handful of people I've seen everyone is welcoming most of the changes happening.

Never said no one is welcoming the changes though. When I said yay-FFXIV I meant people that think FFXIV is great just the way it is now, but don't mind changes either.

What happened to that ridiculous [Request For SE] Disclose the Team Structure for FFXIV thread?

It got closed.

Deleted I believe.

He paid for the game so he has every right to be here.

Moving on to more productive talking. I think SE really need's to show something hell maybe open test servers for a few select members testing things that have been done so far. People are saying ''We are playing beta.''
Then let SE treat it like beat throw the buggy content out there and let us do feed back.

People will complain that it's buggy.

When it comes to FFXIV, there's no "winning situation", people will bitch no. matter. what.

they tried to get us to give them feedback. You know what happened? People either just said "It sucks" or they complained in game without posting any reports at all to the dev team. They gave us a feedback period and we abused it.

I don't know if I've made an excuse until the delay for patches as a result of the recent crisis in Japan. But what I've said is there was no excuse for releasing XIV in almost the same state XI was in it's first year, they should of learned from there mistakes. People used to go "oh well XI didn't have that in its first year", wtf, well even more then XIV should of had this. Anima for getting unjankified I understand, what about other transportation for those of us who want it, and another city besides the three main cities sometime within the first year of release. That's all I really wanted :/ I know that programming is hard, but literally that's all I still want. Eff content if I have a chocobo (don't quote me on that, if they came out with content tomorrow I might be like "eh no way cool")

Information is given when it's ready and final. It's that simple. As yoshida said plenty time (and many other developers said as well,from other games) developing an MMORPG is a matter of sinergy. Systems have to be developed and updated together with others, and things quite often need to be changed even in a very advanced state of development.
Otherwise you have very unpleasant cases (like creative assembly for instance) that throws in promises when they aren't finalyzed, and then ends up breaking half of them, with the fanbase growing angry as hyenas every time one is missed because it was communicated too early.

I'd rather not being fed bull because they need to fill slow weeks to keep the ones that don't have patience happy.



You don't see them? This is rather funny given that the fanbase of korean games is normally extremely bitchy about the fact that they get updates late, and the game released when it's already old and outdated.
Same with the european fanbase of many regional-segregated american games. Go read the countless hate threads spawned by learning that Tera online would have been handled by Frogster in europe.

They can definitely handle being "global". In fact they give us actual game updates at the same time. That's what we're entitled to, since they're part of the product we purchased. Information on future development (or anything else) is not part of the product. It's not something we're entitled to, and as such we should be happy that we're actually getting it in due time (which normally happens to be a few hours of delay, BIG deal).

1,234! and counting! dude you win!

Exactly u say yay-ffxiv i say blind extremist this is exactly the fact.

No matter what the topic the ones with the collars on will bark like hell if anything is said about the poor state of this game.

Its funny to me so i poke at them, they get pissed, hilarious.

The best one is "you have no right if you dont have rnk 50 in all jobs"
Lmfao, really in 20 mins you can see that taking a job to 50 in this game is grueling, not because u have to grind, grinding is fine in my book if its fun with a class you love and friends to do it with, but because the fighting and classes in this game are made of all kinds of last dude in 100 man gbng fail.

I wont waste time lvling these hybrid classes in hopes that the system will be fixed soon and classes worth playing with a fun battle system is coming.

Yeah a couple of threads I've been in, seems like your opinion is only valid if you have at least ONE rnk 50. My highest is 30... simply because I couldn't log on and do the same leves over and over again. Even if you go to another city, you still get stuck with the same ones. (If you've done them there before).

So I'm taking a break from FFXIV. Playing Rift to pass time while I wait for FFXIV. Whatever time I've got left, I spend here at the forum. Simply to see what the community is saying and what's going on.

Not to mention the giant mistake for forgetting to add an item search? I still don't understand how they managed that...
I mean can you imagine the meeting? "I don't think we should have an item search for players!, "me neither, it's not that important at the beginning of the game anyway."
I think they rushed FFXIV release.

People will complain that it's buggy.

When it comes to FFXIV, there's no "winning situation", people will bitch no. matter. what.

And there's also the fact Yoshida said he'll never do a wipe. So if they add something they need to make sure it's not exploitable.

Yes but then at lest we KNOW we are beta testing. Rather than everyone saying were are just beta testing! 7 months after release just to defend the game.
