Thank you SE for making the SAME mistake you did 10 years ago

[Darkhaund]

Most (if not all) of the cases of people complaining about "server" lag and unable to see monsters in FATES are PS3 players.

It is VERY possible that one of the MAIN reasons the graphics were a little bit downgrades was the PS3.

But what now is really getting me annyoed is the "limiting players per field" this meassure in this day in age is ABSURD and retarded.

SE is taking IMO all the wrong steps to fix things

[Livilda]

I'd like to see what you think are the right steps.

An 11 year running highly successful MMORPG isn't a mistake. Fyi: XIV 1.0 was designed with the PS3 in mind as well.

Thanks for your input. Op.

All my static plays on PC and starting 9p.m. each day we start to experience heavy lag, first it is 0-1 sec, then it becomes 10-15 seconds lag and freezes all over the place. And it has been like that for 3 weeks now (there were no problems at all until last maintance). So, no, it has nothing to do with PS3.

I am not saying it is JUST the ps3. But from friends that play on PS3 and some people that have been reporting issues on FATES here are mostly p3 players.

I DO think that this game is in one way or another limited by the PS3

You've yet to discuss the steps you'd take or have taken to alleviate the issues you think are the root cause.

It's pretty clear what he thinks is the root cause, but the fact is that Odin and Behemoth are non-instanced world bosses that a lot of people want to kill. I've been in one, I know the pain of not being able to see the boss, or for that matter, being able to target any of my party members. The problem, though, is the people, not the hardware. If it were the hardware, then what about PCs with performance below the PS3? Wouldn't those be more limiting?

[Jackel]

Wait, what?

I understand there are rendering issues but this has been discussed already and received a dev reply:

Hello,

Display prioritization adjustments
FFXIV: ARR has been designed with a system to display the appropriate number of characters while maintaining non-laggy conditions even when there are a large amount of players centralized in a location. However, even though this system is working, for these two FATE there is an issue where Odin and Behemoth are not being displayed. In order to resolve this issue, we'll be putting in a separate system specifically for these two FATE, and addressing it so the enemies are displayed properly even during times of congestion.

See the original post for full details.

Then start collecting and providing proof to back your statements. Otherwise, this thread is a waste and flame bait.
