When Will We see New Information

[Shai]

So what we can agree on is that we don't even know what a dungeon is, what will be in it, how it will be implemented, or really anything at all other than that it's a vague idea with an actual deadline for once.

Now THAT'S information. So glad they keep us in the loop.

by the same note how do you know that it wont be a huge dungeon with all sorts of stuff in it? you dont

you need to stop being so negative, thats what your problem is

if you are this negative you obviously have no faith in the game why are you even bothering at this point

that's my point. We DON'T know because they aren't telling us anything other than "we're doing stuff." I know that they are doing stuff but I want to know WHAT they are doing. -.-

[Shai]

I'm with ya, Dubont.

[Zenaku]

because we're tired of the bs

Then quit and play other game you don't have to stay here you know you can quit and just see the info as they come. Are you doing that? no you sitting here bi???? at SE and talking bad about the game. Just quit play something else and log in here just to see updates.

I'm with ya, Dubont.

"Let Us Cling Together"

Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together is awesome as you can see by my sig

We do know though. We know they'll be coming, however it's primarily the problem with MMOs these days people can be confused by what a dungeon is. Dungeons are typically subterrane areas which tend to have a boss or two in it, generally related to a quest or missionline.

These days, Dungeons are what instances are called, which makes no sense to me but it is how it is. We know they're overhauling the game. We know June we'll see battle changes and get info this week.

What else do we not know? Even looking at other MMO sites and forums they only announce info when it's close to release if it doesn't have a TBA date. The only exception to this is the company that's translating and hosting a JP/CN/KR MMO for western players which then it's mainly previews or interviewers.

How dare you tell me to quit when I've most likely been here longer than you. SE wants our business, but they aren't keeping up with their promises. I shouldn't have to "quit" because this team doesn't know what they are doing. Why should I be forced to play an entirely different game just because this one can't hold it's own weight in water? I stay here because I'm a loyal fan of SE and I want this game to succeed, unlike other games (Rift...) but why should fans and dedicated customers be put in the dark during a time when the customers need to be receiving as much information as possible to keep them interested in the product?

What might work for them since this isn't clearly working perhaps they should close down XIV and relaunch under a new name with all the updates already completed at a later time. They would be able obtain more players this way as the stigma of XIV won't remain under the new alias.

This would also relief the pressures of having to perform to expectations of the community, under deadlines plus they don't really have to release information. We can all pretend its a new game. Since everyone has played for about or close to 6 months now the cost of the game itself has probably been recuperated.

They could go back to project rapture, however they would then need to remove all FF references and designs and axe current plans which will further push back the overhaul production and upset the people who are already upset it takes awhile to redesign a game.

Think of having to change the game itself to be different beyond mechanically.
