The Downfall of 2.0

[Yves]

All I'm saying is, there's a big deal being made about balance and restructuring. If they've practically made a whole new game, what's better to balance than starting everyone from the start. Also, everytime you start a new game, do you not begin with the bare minimum? As for past players (including myself), we've all played to this point and had fun. If you're gonna whine because all your stuff is gone, then get over it, people lose data in some form or another everyday. I'm also not saying the game will fail, I'm clearly stating we'll just see this come full circle again

I'm failing to see your premises that support the conclusion that failing to wipe data would result in a "downfall." I'm going to challenge you to list them off in a rough syllogism.

P1: yadayadayayada...
P2: yadayadayadayida...

And so on. Because I'm not seeing anything that flows into the conclusion. In fact, the only thing I'm seeing is a couple of informal fallacies...

Eh to be fair, given FFXIV's current state, wiping the 20 people who play the game vs pulling in 720 people in their place..I think SE will go with the latter as it's clear they're doing everything to attract new players not necessarily appease the current small playerbase.

Regardless though, the only downfall to ARR is trying not to stand out and just simply fit in.

They should have closed the servers early and work on 2.0 full time instead of splitting themselves on 2 games... also people are pretty burned out on the current content which will still be there on in 2.0 >.>

I really hope they have new content day 1 and none of that TBA in 6months~ BS

You know that this is total BS. There's AT LEAST 25 people playing sti...wait...24 - I just got the R0.

Lol if my character was wiped I would never touch this game again.

Downfall will be because of the lack of actual content to do at launch.

Pretty areas: Check
Battle system: Check
Crafting: Check
Gathering: Check
New UI: Check
Raids: is 3 enough...? I guess so Check!
PvP: Unfinished
Some areas: Unfinished
Chocobo battle system: Unfinished
Missions: Unfinished.

They arent gonna release content and stuff when there still have alot of bugs to fix. Servers will be bad again at launch but week or two down the road it will improve and maybe month after we will see content come at steady pace hopefully.

If you're gonna whine because all your stuff is gone, then get over it

if you're gonna whine because other people have more stuff than you, then get over it

(you'll have to)

I think SE will go with the latter as it's clear they're doing everything to attract new players not necessarily appease the current small playerbase.

based on what, exactly? primal weapons: still in 2.0. GC weapons: still in 2.0. darklight: still in 2.0. relic weapons: still in 2.0. levels: progress saved in 2.0. gear/money: saved in 2.0. etc etc.

doesn't take much brain power to understand they're trying to both appease returning players and attract new ones. but as usual your posts completely miss the mark.

New players get their own servers. What the f#%$ is the difference?
