Patience! For the love of god, people!

Before I begin, I'm generally a pretty nice guy. I try not to make threads like this because I'm not very good at making an argument. If you come up with some huge, long-winded rant, or even just a reply to what I am saying, hats off to you. I respect your opinion as much as I do mine. However, I needed to get this off my chest, especially after going to the Tales From Eorzea Thread and reading the first comment:


(this is an example. I am in no way making a personal attack. Avaraym is most probably a pretty cool guy.)



To all of the idiots who are criticizing that there aren't enough ARR Updates:

You do know that this event is too keep people busy (to some extent) while they work on ARR, right? There is a flood of information - just not for people like us, who literally cling to every single word about it and take it to heart, as we have for a year now. For everyone else, there's article after article after article of information from kotaku, ign, and many other sites and blogs, trailers and multi-hour-long QA sessions, books worth of concept art; crap-tons of lore to read up on, an entire site that explains the class and job systems, the enemies, the races... and much, much more.

The information isn't just for us and we shouldn't expect it to be so. Trailers draw people to the game, not just the people who play it... and it's idiotic to believe that we should be receiving a flood of information when we have already.

And yeah, some of you could reply that you're going to quit because Square Enix isn't releasing enough hype for the game... in that case, do so. You'll be doing the community a favor by giving it one less spoiled brat. And why would you quit a game that you're literally so excited for that you want more information for in the first place?

It's just a game. The updates will come when they come. Don't be such impatient pricks.

---*heeeeaavveee*---

And for those who are extremely excited for the game, want more information and can't seem to take it, take a walk. No, seriously. I would very much like you to finish reading this thread, put on some pants, put on some socks and shoes, comb your hair so you look handsome/pretty, and take a walk. If you live near a park, go there. If you don't, go down a few blocks. If it's raining, bring a raincoat and an umbrella and enjoy the sounds of the raindrops as they hit your umbrella.

While you're walking I want you to notice the area around you. Try to take in the wind, the air, the sun... take in life. Real, honest life. Count the times you may hear a bird chirping. Go as long as you want, come back when you want, and relax.

This is just a game - just a bunch of electric wires and circuits using a program that you installed onto it. Yes, you may love it, and yes, you may be excited for it, but now's the time to take a step back and be patient. Enjoy autumn and Halloween. The information will come when it comes. All you need to do is take a step back and relax. Patience is, indeed, a virtue.

lol, you said its not a personal attack then call the guy an idiot,lol

The lore posts are boring as hell to read and almost never tells us anything new or interesting, maybe I just don't like the format its presented in because I usually love lore.

Thing is, most of us don't refresh the lodestone thinking "Oh boy! I hope there's a contest/lore post!" we're here for ARR or the final patch info or that list of items that won't make it to ARR that they promised us 2 centuries ago or maybe a letter from Yoshi (even though he hasn't written anything worthwhile lately) or anything else that is actually relevant.

How about some concept art? or showing us some new equipment/monster/area models or anything else related to ARR?

posting lore/story outside of a game died in the 80's. Doom, heretic, and a few other DOS games were the last to do it.

i should be able to wake up Sunday, go to my grand company and buy the latest issue of The Mythril Eye, The Raven or The Harbor Herald. because we all know they cant simply add an npc that Say's "Read all about it! New developments in Western thanalan! only 15 gil gets you the latest news today!" because that would take a whole 10 minutes of programing time that they clearly can't spare.

ITT: We argue semantics

That or they just slap XIV into POL viewer and deliver the paper like they used to with Vanadiel Tribune.

The level of self-entitlement in this topic is almost on a hyperbolic and nauseating level...and I don't mean the OP.

[RoxyLalonde]

Just relax, sheesh. Rushing things is what created 1.0. They don't want to release a date cause they don't want to screw it up. Even if they release a date you guys will criticize it as being too soon or too late or too perfect. Enjoy the last days of the game... distract yourself with the story competition or just go play or do something else. This is getting ridiculous, when I read the posts that are coming out lately I literally picture people breathing heavy and expressing general rage like they are about to flip the table or punch through their monitor. It doesn't sound healthy. It's kind of like being on a forum full or werewolves or something.

I don't really feel entitled to this info, would be nice to have because my interest has gone down to almost nothing.

The less we feel entitled the more better off we are. But I would think that SE would like to have more a reputation then what they are doing to themselves now lol.

rushing things caused 1.0, you have no clue what you are talking about. They spent a ton of time making that game, they made 2.0 in less then half the time it took to make 1.0.

and it still wasn't ready

Exactly, 1.0 wasn't ready but the higher ups wanted the game out asap. 2.0 is done in shorter time than 1.0, you should be much more concerned about that.
